WOH TUM NA THI

तुम  वह  नहीं  हो  जिस  से  मैं  प्यार  करता  था,
आँखों  में  आँखें डाल  के इज़हार करता था.

मेरी जुबां – ऐ – नब्ज़ पे था तेरी वफ़ा का नाम,
शौक – ऐ – ज़िन्दगी को सलाम सौ – बार करता था.

क्या आलम था वह अब भी दिल को खबर है,
सेहर से ही शब – ऐ – हुस्न का इंतज़ार करता था.

नाज़ुक लबों पे गर्मी – ऐ – जज़्बात थरथराते थे,
तेरी मासूमियत – ओ – नज़ाकत से न मैं इंकार करता था.

सुबह को जब तुम शाम कह के सुनाती थी,
तेरे सजदे में झुक के मैं इकरार करता था.

उल्फत -ऐ -ज़िन्दगी में वो मक़ाम भी आये,
जब तुम थी नहीं फिर भी तेरा दीदार करता था.

काश मैं समझ सकता तेरी दगा – बाज़ी का हुनर,
तुम वह कभी थी ही नहीं जिस से मैं प्यार करता था.

Tum woh nahin ho jis se main pyaar karta tha,
Aankhon mein aankhen daal ke izhaar karta tha.

Meri zubaan-e-nabz pe tha teri wafa ka naam,
Shauk-e-zindagi ko salaam main sau-baar karta tha.

Kya aalam tha woh ab bhi dil ko khabar hai,
Sehar se hi shab-e-husn kaa intezzaar karta tha.

Naazuk labon pe garmi-e-jazbaat thartharaate the,
Teri maasumiyat-o-nazaakat se na main inkaar karta tha.

Subah ko jab tum shaam keh ke sunaati thi,
Tere sajde mein jhuk ke main ikraar karta tha.

Ulfat-e-zindagi mein wo maqaam bhi aaye,
Jab tum thi nahin phir bhi tera deedaar karta tha.

Kaash main samajh sakta teri daga-baazi ka hunr,
Tum woh kabhi thi hi nahin jis se main pyaar karta tha.

Author: Sunbyanyname

I have done a long stint in the Indian Navy that lasted for nearly thirty seven years; I rose as far as my somewhat rebellious and irreverent nature allowed me to. On retirement, in Feb 2010, the first thing that occurred to me, and those around me, was that I Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (you will find an article with this title in this blog) and hadn't lost all my noodles and hence thought of a blog titled 'This 'n That'. I later realised that every third blog is called 'This 'n That' and changed the name to 'Sunbyanyname'. I detest treading the beaten track. This blog offers me to air 'another way' of looking at things. The idea is not just to entertain but also to bring about a change. Should you feel differently, you are free to leave your comments. You can leave comments even when you agree and want to share your own experience about the topic of the blog post. Impudent or otherwise, I have never been insousciant and I am always concerned about the betterment of community, nation and the world. I hope the visitors of this blog would be able to discern it.
