TAB AUR AB

हमारी गुफ्तगू कभी खत्म ना होती थी,
आज ख़ामोशी की हद्द भी पार हो गयी.

दर्द – ऐ – दिल का हमें गुमान तक ना था,
आज खुशियां हमारी उधार हो गयी.

गुलज़ार थी वफ़ा – ओ – इश्क़ की दुनिया,
आज मौत भी हमसे बेज़ार हो गयी.

ना बुलाने से भी चले आते थे वह,
आज आह भी अपनी बेकार हो गयी.

तबुस्सम की फ़िज़ा लहरा के चलती थी तब,
आज अश्क़ों की लड़ी मेरे रुखसार हो गयी .

ज़िन्दगी के रंग – ओ – नूर वह साथ ले गए,
महफ़िल – ऐ – इश्क़ उनके बाद बेक़रार हो गयी.

हमें यकीन नहीं होता तेरे बज़्म – ऐ – दुनिया में,
सचाई – ओ – वफ़ा झुक के शर्मसार हो गयी.

खुदा अपनी रहमत से मुझे बुलंद रखना,
आज मेरी उम्मीद – ओ – तवक़्क़ो लाचार हो गयी.

Hamaari guftagu kabhi khatam naa hoti thi,
Aaj khamoshi ki hadd bhi paar ho gayi.

Dard-e-dil kaa hamen gumaan taq naa tha,
Aaj khushiyan hamaari udhaar ho gayi.

Gulzar thi wafa-o-ishq ki duniya,
Aaj maut bhi hamase bezaar ho gayi.

Naa bulaane se bhi chale aate the woh,
Aaj aah bhi apni bekaar ho gayi.

Tabussam ki fiza lehra ke chalti thi tab,
Aaj ashqon ki ladhi mere rukhsaar ho gayi.

Zindagi ke rang-o-noor woh saath le gayi,
Mehfil-e-ishq usake baad beqraar ho gayi.

Hamen yakeen nahin hota tere bazm-e-duniya mein,
Sachaayi-o-wafa jhuk ke sharmsaar ho gayi.

Khuda apni rahmat se mujhe buland rakhna,
Aaj meri umeed-o-tawaqqo laachaar ho gayi.

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.
