Ye kaisa Ishq hai!
Tuesday, 11 November 2025
Malaal-e-Ishq
Maloom hai ki tu mujhse ishq nahi karta,
Maloom hai ki tu mujhse ishq nahi karta,
Lekin ye malaal bhi nahi,
Ki sirf main tujhse ishq karti hoon.
Jab bhi baat karti hoon tujhse,
Tere khayalon mein doob jaati hoon.
Tu saamne hote huye bhi,
Tere baare mein sochti hoon.
Kehne ko toh tune haami bhar di,
Kehne ko toh tune haami bhar di,
Rishte ko nibha bhi raha hai tu,
Fir bhi jaane kyun,
Tu door sa lagta hai mujhse yun.
Tujhe khone ka darr sa laga rehta hai,
Tujhe khone ka darr sa laga rehta hai,
Jaane ye khayaal kab aya mujhe,
Fir bhi lagta hai ki tujhe main riha kar doon!
Laazmi hai ki tujhe main riha kar doon,
Par iss dil ka kya karoon,
Jo tujhse riha hona nahi chahta!

Truant Thy Love
She looked for it everywhere.
A mirage appeared wherever she went.
Each lane, each corner had love stamped on it.
“Where art thou, love”, she wondered.
But love played truant.
Love’s many forms, she was unable to see.
There was only one for her:
her lost love.
Love played games with her,
Cupid was no less.
Both truant!
Tired, she stopped walking,
Sitting under a tree, she spots a mirror.
An image she did not recognize:
worn-out clothes, disheveled hair, dark circles under her eyes,
cracked toenails, chipped fingernails.
Unrecognizable, she was distraught.
Who am I? Where did I come from?
Questions haunted her like a tyrant spirit.
She got up, walked on.
A tiny path to a house, a cobblestone road,
A small brook, birds chirping in the woods,
Familiar smells of a time gone by,
Memories enveloped her in a warm embrace.
An old photograph, a diary, few clothes, cluttered stationery,
Bits of paper, yellowing books, old letters, doodles and scribbles,
Remnants of her past in a box.
Crouched on her haunches,
Aroma from an opened box filled her senses.
She turned the pages of her diary,
Each word spoke to her,
Told tales of the yore.
Grainy photographs had tons to tell,
Familiar old faces, moments captured random,
Tingling sensations of butterflies in her tummy,
Memories of an old crush, first love lingered.
With a teardrop glistening in her eyes, she smiled!

Dil ki baatein...kuchh alfaaz (Couplets)
Fir bhi ek kashish thi jo kheench leti uski taraf!
Reh gayi uski muskurahat,
Khilkhilata hua chehra,
Jo dil mein reh gaya!
Duaon mein hamne tumhe yaad kiya,
Khush raho, yahi dua denge tumhe,
Raaste hamare na takraaye bas yahi dua karna
Nahi toh 206 haddiyan hai,
Kahi wo bhi gum na ho jaayein!
Aisa bhi kya sharmaana,
Ya toh haami hoti ya toh inkaar!
Shukriya karte karte, wo nikal gayi,
Bas reh gaye wo lafz, jo dil ko chhu gaye
Khayaal unka aya, yaadein bhi hui taaza,
Bas zubaan pe unka naam na aaya!
Bas kalam se lafz nikle,
Aur kuchh dil ki awaaz nikli!
Arsa hua ki dil ki baatein hui,
Kuchh keh kahe aur kuchh kisse nirale,
Kuch thahakon mein mehfil jam gayi!
Haal-e-dil bayaan karein,
Aise hi mehfil jami rahein!
Khoobsurat ye lafz aapke,
Fida ho jaaye koi aap pe
Nazron ki kya zarurat,
Aapke lafz hi dil chura le!
Kannte khud ba khud bikhar jayengi
Bas pair rakhne ki der hai!
Izzat dena koi aapse seekhe,
Maano itr gire ho labon se
aur gulaabon ki barsaat hui ho!
Aaj koi dil ka izhar kare
Ek haath mein ho gulaab,
Aur sanitizer dusre haath mein!
Par Corona ne bola: aaj Karo na🤪
