Ek Gazal Sharavan ke liye ....

koi ye kaise bataaye ke, wo tanahaa kyon hai
wo jo apanaa thaa wahee, aur kisee kaa kyon hai
yahee duniyaan hai to fir, ayesee ye duniyaan kyon hai

yahee hotaa hai to aakhir, yahee hotaa kyon hai?

ik zara haath badhaa de to, pakad le daaman
uske seene mein samaa jaaye, humaaree dhadkan
itni kurbat hain to phir, faaslaa itnaa kyon hai?

dil-e-barabaad se niklaa naheen, ab tak koee
ik loote ghar pe diyaa karataa hai, dastak koee
aas jo toot gayee;phir se; bandhaataa kyon hai?

tum masarrat kaa kaho yaa, ise gam kaa rishtaa
kahate hain, pyaar kaa rishtaa hain janam kaa rishtaa
hai janam kaa jo ye rishtaa to, badalataa kyon hai?
