NAYI

Adding to the verses of the great poet Shabeena Adeeb

Khwabo mein dooba jagta raha
Neend kahin kho gayi hai
Jokhim koi bhi bada nahi
Zindagi mili nayi nayi hai

Jo sambhle hon gir kar kayi martaba
Rukna nahi wo jaante
Dekh kar baitha udaas tumhe
Chook shayad nayi nayi hai

Hain sadiyo se baithe oonchi imaarto mein jo
Hain pesh ana khoob jaante
Mizaaj apka dekh kar hai lagta
Shauhrat apki nayi nayi hai

Haatho mein haath daale chale dono
Khaamosh lab, palke jhuki hui hain
Ho rahi ulfat dilo mein unke
Abhi toh mohabbat nayi nayi hai

Suna raha tha prem kahani apni
Kis tarah tute dil ko siya hai
Beh chale do aansu palko se tumahre
Chot shayad nayi nayi hai

BADE DINO BAAD

Bade dino baad jo dhadkan suni

To thoda ghabra gaye

Kya qayamat agayi lene hame

Fir jana ke dil ko tum yaad agaye

Bade dino baad khaali baithna

Khaali sa nahi hai

Jo thi zindagi chand saanso me kat rahi

Uski ab aarzoo bhi nahi hai

Yun milna tumse sadiyo mein ek baar

Bas chand muskaano mein bichhad jaane ko

Jaise registaan mein badal zamaano ke baad

Aaye bas do boondein barsaane ko

Bade dino baad shayari ka shaukh aya hai

Zarre zarre mein hain jazbat bhare

Shabdon se humne dhoka khaya hai

Hai kehna toh bohot kuchh humein

Zara thehro, abhi abhi dil pe malham lagaya hai

Bade dino baad jo hogi mulaakaat

Sunenge firse dhadkan dil ki

Mat ghabrana jo ajaye qayamat

Chhipa kar tumko, kar denge jaan haazir khud ki

IBAADAT

Teri ibaadat se badi mohabbat kya hogi

Tere daaman me jo na ho

To jannat kya hogi

Jo nikle nahi ashk do chaar gham me tere

Wo zindagi, zindagi kya hogi

Jo har roz khuda se pehle tujhey yaad karoon

Jo na aaye zubaan pe naam tera

To zubaan se bair karoon

Mat bol patthar dil mujhey

Jo thukra diya tune dil mera

Dil ko patthar sa mehsus karoon

Bin tere lafzo ke namaaz na hogi

Jo dekhu na tujhey muskaate

To zarurat aankho ki kya hogi

Jo kiya na ishq tujhsey maine

To jeene ki wajah kya hogi

LESS DEAD

Look dear as I walk away
To make your wish come true
Because promised I had
That you'll never be sad
So I walk away
Like you wanted me to

Just a moment I need
If my words you'd heed
There's more to beauty than eyes can see
If you could feel my heart
We'd not be apart
And perhaps different your wish would be

Look dear as I turn my back
To joyous miseries seeded by me
You loved red, so I bled myself
But I feel less dead than I was
When you and I were still We

BENAAM

Kehte hain log jise ek ho jana
Kehte hain jise rishta purana
Jhukta jiske aage khuda tak hai
Puchha uske bando ne aye ishq, tera mazhab to batana

Dil ki kashti mein liye use chalta raha
Aya tufaan toh samandar se ladta raha
Puchhli jaat kinare ne mere khoon ki
Pyar hai kaafi, sochkar dil dhadakta raha

Zara ittila kardi hoti aye khuda
Jo banaye tune kaanoon pyar mein
Kar baitha ishq mai bin puchhe naam tak uska
Toh jana dil ka nahi, dharm ka mol hai pyar mein

Mat jao dar khuda ke tum
Jo bakshish uski thukrate ho
Kya kam hai nafrat is jahan mein
Jo laga kar bandishein pyar me
Khudko insaan batate ho

Dil mein liye pyar aaj bhi chalta hu
Naa mazhab na jaat
Na dharm kisi muskaan ka
Bin puchhe naam uska ishq aaj bhi karta hu
