ghar mein vahi piili tanhaai rahti hai — Vikas Sharma Raaz

muddatein ho gaiin hisaab kiye
kyaa pataa kitne rah gae hain ham

iraada to nahin hai khud-kushi kaa
magar main zindagi se khush nahin huun

dekhnaa chaahtaa huun gum ho kar
kyaa koi DhunD ke laataa hai mujhe

jise dekho ghazal pahne hue hai
bahut sastaa ye zevar gayaa hai

asar hai ye hamaari dastakon kaa
jahaan divaar thi dar ho gayaa hai

mujh ko aksar udaas karti hai
ek tasvir muskuraati hui

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

ai gham-e-zindagi na ho naaraaz
mujh ko aadat hai muskuraane ki

nazar bachaa ke jo aansu kiye the main ne paak
khabar na thi yahi dhabbe baneinge daaman ke

bataa khud ko bhalaa kaise sanvaarun
mujhe gham aainon mein dikh rahaa hai
