Zara Suniye

Khanjar chubha hai seene mein lekin jaanlewa iska vaar nahi
Dard ka toofan chipa hai dil mein aur aankhen ashqbaar nahi

Apni bechaini ki to aadat pad chuki thi ik muddat se hame lekin
Aaj jaane kya baat huii parchaayi ko bhii hamaari qaraar nahi

Suna hai ke dard ka anjaam aksdar bahut khoobsurat hota hai
Kahi kisi ke ashko ki barsaat to har dilnasheen aab shaar nahi

Zakhmon ke beshumaar phool mehakte hai dil ki sarzameen par
Jaane kyu duniya kehti hai ke is chaman mein koi bahaar nahi

Bas ek yehi aakhiri faislaa reh gayaa zindagi bitaane ko ‘deep’
Yeh jism kare kiske hawaale, dil apne par to koi ikhtiyaar nahi

Beete lamhoN ne hastii hamaari kishtoN mein yuuN mitaayi hai
Khudaaya teri duniya mein kaneez khud ko hi gawaa aayi hai

Kabhi hasratoN ke rang se taraasha tha ik haseen jism tune
Bani har saans ab dhokha kisi ka, har ang kisi ki ruswaii hai

Dhoondte phir rahe hai har shay mein apni tasveer khoyi si
Na aaine na jaam na samundar mein jiski koi parchaayi hai

YuuN nahi ke dil ki tadapti aaheN lalkaarti nahi ab ashkoN ko
Vo nazar kare to kya kare beh beh kar aakhir pathraayi hai

Us pyaas-e-khushi ki intehaa ko sajdaa qabool ho hamaara
Tassavur se hi bhujne lagi haqiqat ne is hadd tak tarsaayi hai

Bhari bazm mein tanhaii ke kisse to sune hai asshiqo se ‘deep’
Hone laga mehfil ka bharam jis mein kaisi bereham tanhaii hai

Kis se kahe haal-e-dil, kisko zakhm dikhaaye hum
Kab talak parchaiyon sang yuuN aansoo bahaaye hum

Gamh khudaaya tere diye ya apni galtiyo ke nateeze
Kab talak dil apne se yehi sawaal pooche jaaye hum

Dard hadd se guzra to bani ik mai hi sahara hamara
Kab talak is kadwahat se majburan nain rulaaye hum

Aaghaaz-e-mohabbat ka hai anjaam intehaa-e-tanhaii
Kab talak khud se roothe aur khud ko hi manaaye hum

Khot apni hi nazar ke parakhne mein to nahi ‘deep’
Har shaks se dokha mile jise palko pe bithaaye hum

Kahi thehra na de kaafir nazrein tujh ko doshi aye khuda
PalkoN ne kar di ashkbaar nazron ki pardaposhi aye khuda

Tere haatho ka daawa kar ruksaar khud hi sehlaa rahe hai
Honth sile huye hai kabhi samajh meri khamoshi aye khuda

Zindagi gar gamh ke khazaanoN se sajaayi hai to kya huaa
KhwaaboN mein to hai khushiyoN ki yeh madhoshi aye khuda

Azm-e-safar nahi par tarasta badan liye chale ja rahe hai
Kabhi naseeb hogi kisi mehboob ki ham-aaghoshi aye khuda

Kaun kehta hai suroor sirf hazz-e-wasl mein mayassar ho
Intezaar ki ada mein bhi milan ki hai mai-noshi aye khuda

Nasha chaayaa in fizaayoN mein yeh aaj jaane kaisa hai
Gungunaye kaano mein pawan yeh raaz jaane kaisa hai

Roop kal bhii khila khila tha magar magroor na thaa
Unse milkar aaya husn ko khud pe naaz jaane kaisa hai

Saans kal bhii behki behki thi magar madhosh na thii
Guftagoo-e-yaar mein yeh andaaz jaane kaisa hai

Waqt kal bhii khoya khoya tha magar muntazir na tha
Thame waqt ko chalne par yeh aitraaz jaane kaisa hai

Zakhm kal bhii hara hara tha magar kaatilana na thaa
Dawa jiski ho jaanlewa yeh charasaaz jaane kaisa hai

Badan kal bhii mit sa raha thaa rooh tadapti na thi
Maut bhii anjaam nahi yeh aaghaaz jaane kaisa hai

Raaz jo kal tak chipe chipe the saamne aate na the
Unse kara gaya pehchaan yeh humraaz jaane kaisa hai

Pyaas bhujaane ki hasrat mein ‘deep’ jali jaa rahi hai
Parwaane ko duniyadaari ka yeh lihaaz jaane kaisa hai

Dikhaayi diye to lage dil-e-kastaa ki vo marham us waqt
Jaha nazar mili ban gaya hamaara dair-o-haram us waqt

Jin hontho ko tha sada khuda ki nazar-andaazi se shikwa
Unhe paa kehne lage hai uparwale ka bahut karam us waqt

Hum to kathin raaho ko dekh raah badalnewalo mein se the
Vo bane hamkadam to lagi pathrili raahe bhi naram us waqt

Nazar unki uthi jo kahe unhi ki mohabbat mein lipte ashaar
Yeh thi bazm-e-sachaai ya dil-e-nadaan ka bharam us waqt

Ghazal to humne sunaayi thi mehfil pe barq giraane ko ‘deep’
Nazar unse kya mili aa giri apne hi dil par mohtaram us waqt

Band aankho mein chipe ashkoN se faansla bana rahe
Chehre pe jhoothi hassi, dil ki gehraaiyo mein gila rahe

Kisi modh par kisi bewafa ko hamaari zaroorat na pade
Unki galiyo se guzarta sada yeh bebas qaafila rahe

Unke daaman mein khushiyon ke sitaare jhilmilaaye
Jholi hamaari mein khilta unka sab dukh-o-ibtilaa rahe

Hum apna chaman shaadaab zakhmon se saja lenge
Hamaare hisse ka phool unki muskaan ban khila rahe

Unke khayaal par bhii palkein sajde mein jhuk jaaye
Chaahat mein zara ibaadat ka rang bhii ghula rahe

Karishmaat-e-tasavur mein gawa dene do zindagaani
Bachi saanso mein nasha ban unka saroor mila rahe

Hamaare baad unke kadmo se rehguzar aabaad rahe
Aur kuch na maange gar mohabbat ka itna sila rahe

Maut aaye to khaak-e-badan unke dwaar pe nisaar dena
Is haseen andaaz mein unse mulakaat ka silsila rahe

Josh-e-junoon mein aakar koi khataa na kar baithe
Aapki ulfat mein kahi khud ko ruswaa na kar baithe

Mat dekhiye chasm-e-gunehgaar se yu hamaari aur
Kahi imaan bhula kar maalik se jafaa na kar baithe

Mat muskuraiye dil pe qehar dhaane waali ye muskaan
Hosh kho apne dil ko sadr se bepanaah na kar baithe

Mat kijiye sar-e-chaman yu ehd-e-wafa ki baatein
Nazrein jhuka kar, kaliyon se hayaa na kar baithe

Mat chadhaiye nazdeek badh armaano ko charkh-e-
Dharaa ki dhool ho kar aasmaan ki chaah na kar baithe

Mat tadpaaiye is kadar choo kar ruksaar ko hamaare
Lab-e-tashna ki pyaas bhuja aapko bezubaan na kar baithe

Mat li jiye is kadar aaghosh mein husn ko hamaare
Afsaana-e-hastii se khud ko be-parwaah na kar baithe

Aapki baaho mein dam todne ka tassavur itna dilnasheen hai
Khud apne hontho se aaj apni maut ki duaa na kar baithe

Meri maa de pyaar-ch saagar to vadh hai gehraayi
Kuch raah inj gujre oh pyaar mai na samajh paayi
Ohne mainu nafz diti, ohdi nafz na dil ne padi
Ve Rabba mainu maaf kari, ve Maula mainu maaf kari

Chote chote hatha diya ungla phad duniya dikhaayi
Mushkila da saamna karan di reet ohna ne sikhaayi
Ohne mainu nafz diti, ohdi nafz na dil ne padi
Ve Rabba mainu maaf kari, ve Maula mainu maaf kari

Na mai khud samajh ohna de hasrata di jot jagaayi
Meri khushi layi ohna vi har khwaaish rakhi dabaayi
Ohne mainu nafz diti, ohdi nafz na dil ne padi
Ve Rabba mainu maaf kari, ve Maula mainu maaf kari

Dil-ch gaira nu basa dil ban gaya ehda harjaayi
Apne khoon ne hi diti ohna nu khoon to judaai
Ohne mainu nafz diti, ohdi nafz na dil ne padi
Ve Rabba mainu maaf kari, ve Maula mainu maaf kari

Aaj phir kismat mainu ik aise modh te lai aayi
Kitiya galtiya di sache dilo kar lava mai bharvai
Ohne mainu nafz diti, ohdi nafz na dil ne padi
Ve Rabba mainu maaf kari, ve Maula mainu maaf kari

Anjaane vich vi na mere to dobara eh paap karvaayi
Ohdi raaha-ch sukh paun waali raah te mainu chalaayi
Ohne mainu nafz diti, ohdi nafz na dil ne padi
Ve Rabba mainu maaf kari, ve Maula mainu maaf kari

Suna hai yeh zindagi aabaad karti hai
Yeh bhii suna hai ke zindagi barbaat karti hai

Har raah pe manzil ke muntazir ke nishaan
Har raah magar muflis ko na-muraad karti hai

Muskurahato ke liye koi jagah nahi is mein
Dard-e-gamh ki gehraayi hi dil shaad karti hai

Jisko wafa ke mayine ki kuch khabar nahi
Naadaan-e-mohabbat ussi pe eitmaad karti hai

Ik nazar aake bheega daaman dekh le vo
Jaan jaayenge meri aankh unko yaad karti hai

Roz ik umeed banti hai aayegi unko hamaari yaad
Roz yeh umeed hamaare dil se khilwaad karti hai

Maut ko bhii aa gaya taras hamaare haal pe
Dekhiye kis adaa se vo zindagi se ittihaad karti hai

Hontho tak aati hai aakhiri saans aur laut jaati hai
Zindagi jab jab chand lamho ki fariyaad karti hai

Dar par qazaa, aankho ko zindagi ka intezaar ‘deep’
Dekhna hai kaunsi balaa humko aazaad karti hai
