Aaj Vi
By Dayal Mondal
Agar pyaar mein hum shayar ban jaayein,
Toh kisi ko bura kehne ka haq nahi rakhte…
Kyunki jo yaadein kabhi jaan hua karti thi,
Unhe hum nafrat mein zaya nahi kar sakte…
Koi padh kar na samjhe, toh koi gham nahi,
Har ehsaas ka samjha jaana zaroori toh nahi…
Bas khud padh kar sukoon mil jaaye,
Aur teri awaaz khamoshiyon mein goonjti reh jaaye…
Uss shakhs ki yaad mehfooz hai aaj bhi,
Is dil ke kisi kone mein…
Jab jazbaat sambhalte nahi mujhse,
Toh utar aate hain kaagaz pe…
Woh khud toh ruk na saka kisi aur ki chah mein,
Aur hum kisi aur ke hone ke kabil hi na rahe…
Uske baad kisi ko chaha bhi toh kaise,
Jab dil hi kisi aur ka hokar na raha…
Tujhe bhoolne ki koshish mein,
Khud se hi door hote gaye…
Teri yaadon ko mitaate-mitaate,
Hum aur tere hote gaye…
Ab tera zikr nahi karte,
Bas tera khayal aa jaata hai…
Kuchh rishte khatam nahi hote,
Bas unka naam badal jaata hai…
Har khamoshi mein tera hi zikr hai,
Har lafz mein tera aks zinda hai…
Bas farq itna hai—
Kaagaz par jo tasveer sajti hai,
Woh teri hi hoti hai… aaj bhi.
