maikhana

,akele ho agar tum maikhane mein to hataash met hona. tumhare liye mein hoon jo tumhare afsaano€se waakif hoon. is zarrenawaazi ka kyakarun, aadat se majbur hoon. mera shamsher nahi maanta ki mein akela hoon. toh mere lavz mere khayalaat mere saath dudte hai.

nazrein jo ghumti hai, muskaanon aur khoyi hui baaton mein, tab akeyla mehsus karta hai dil. kyu aye dil tu akeyla hai. kyu shamaa hite hue bhi andhera hai.

yeh jaam khayalon mein rehte khatm nahi hoti, kya yeh dil ki aarzoo hai, jo har0 zubaan mein bhari hui hoti hai.

jo sharaab chue laboon ko, gale laga loon apni chahton. magar kya karooon yeh kambakht dil e zameer kisi zalim se kam nahi hai. kann ke barabarr hote hue bhi, duniya samaa ke rakha hai.

aye maikhane

tujhe kya hai

zehr bharne ke alawa

tujhe kya shikwa hai.

tu woh hai,

jiski khwahish tawaaif bhi nahi apnati.

tu hi zindagi hai. lekin tu hi tawaif hai

ae mere zahir , tujhe zara rukna hoga. hum unmese hai jinki zindagi bati hui hai. tu khush naseeb hai ki tu , tu hai, kisi aur ke liye nahi hai. yeh ranjishein, yeh bandishein, tujhse nahi hai. dil yeh jo dhadakta hai, kyu apno ke liye tadapta hai. jabki apno ke bhi raste hai, apne aap mein vaastein hai. yu judta hai har khwahishon ke beech. kyu mudhta hai har tammannaon ko seech.

ummeedein milen sharaab, ek ansu behti hai. kaash mein zahir hota toh azad hota. zanjeeron mein bandhe khula asmaan sa nahi hota. ae mere zahir tujhmei koi syahi nahi likh pati. bas aans hai jo ashk, mehnat banke behti jaati. zinda hai tu kisliye, aazaad panchiyon ke bhi bhi dayren hoten hai.

ya toh zindagi koshish hai ya phir azadi ki ranjish. koshisho mein bhi thame thehre dilon ki awaazein hai. toh kya tum rooh ho, ya phir pather se bane murat ho.

darasal yeh ek khula maidan hai. tumme kuwwat hai to maidaan haak lo ya phir katputliyo tarah hilate raho.

azaaad hoo. azaad raho
