jab bhi kashti bhanvar mein aai hai — Sandeep Gupte

hasin khvaab ko sachchaa samajh rahaa hai koi
faqat gumaan ko duniyaa samajh rahaa hai koi

ghazal mein jab talak ehsaas ki shiddat na ho shaamil
faqat alfaaz ki kaarigari mahsus hoti hai

koi hayaat ke maani bataa ke samjhaae
tavil kyaa hai bhalaa mukhtasar kaa kyaa matlab

hamein qubul nahin chhoTaa munh baDi baatein
misaal bante hain aur phir misaal dete hain

sirf kahne ko hai nai duniyaa
vo hi dastur hai vahi duniyaa

jahaan pe khatm huaa karti hain khirad ki hadein
vahin se asl mein hotaa hai dil kaa kaam shuru'

kaho kyaa mehrbaan naa-mehrbaan taqdir hoti hai
kahaa maan ki duaaon mein baDi taasir hoti hai

nahin vo sham-e-mohabbat rahi to phir 'aasim'
ye kis duaa se mire ghar mein raushni si hai

sikhaa na duaaon mein qanaaat kaa saliqa
vo maang rahaa huun jo muqaddar mein nahin hai

abr barse to inaayat us ki
shaakh to sirf duaa karti hai

kaT gai ehtiyaat-e-ishq mein umr
ham se izhaar-e-muddaaa na huaa

shaikh kaabe mein ye duaa maango
'mehr' ho but-kada ho duniyaa ho
