Sad Poetry

Aaj yu’n muskuraa ke aye ho,
Jese sab kuch bhulaa ke aye ho,

Yeh nishani hai dil ke lagne ki,
Yeh jo tum aaj jaa ke aaye ho,

Bhool kar bhi jis tarah koi aye,
Sheher mein yu’n wafaa ke aye ho,

Kyon jhapakti nahin meri ankhain,
Chandni main nahaa ke aye ho,

Dil samandar mein chaand sa utra,
Kesi khushbu laga ke aye ho,

Subah ki avleen kiran ki tarah,
Raat saari jagaa ke aye ho,

Kya bahana bana ke jana hai,
Kya bahana bana ke aye ho,

Koi jhonkey se kis tarah pooche,
Kitni shamain bhujaa ke aye ho,

Aagaye ho to aao, Bismillah,
Der lekin lagaa ke aye ho,

Be’kali is qadar kyon Amjad,
Kya kahin kuch ganwaa ke aye ho..

Mujhe khud se hain shikaytain, Mujhe zindagi se gilaa nahin,
Ke jo chaha mene woh paa liya, Nahin aesa kuch jo mila nahin,

Mere aas paas hai roshni, Mere raaston mein chirag hain,
Yeh tere karam ka hai mojzaa, Meri justuju ka silaa nahin,

Teri aankh se jo haseen ho, Woh nigaah jag main bani nahin,
Tere rukh ko jis se misaal doon, Koi aesa phool khilaa nahin,

Yeh jo teri zulf ka hai haashia, Yeh jo tera chehra hai khush’numa,
Koi raat aesi siyaah nahin, Kisi subaah mein yeh jala nahin,

Yeh jo mehr-o-maa ki hain haaltain! Yeh jo aayino ki hain hairtain,
Hain azzal se sab yeh isi tarah, Koi apni jagha se hillaa nahin..

Woh geet jo tum ne suna nahin, meri umar bhar ka reyaaz tha,
Mere dard ki thi woh dastaan, jisey tum hanssi mein urra gaye..

Koi Mausam Ho, Dil Mein Hai Tumhaari Yaad Ka Mausam
Ke Badla Hee Nahee Jaanan Tumharay Baad Ka Mausam

Nahee Tou Aazma Ke Dekh Lo, Kaisay Badalta Hai ?
Tumhaaray Muskaraanay Se Dil-e-Nashaad Ka Mausam

Kaheen Se Os Haseen Awaaz Ki Khusbuu Pukaaray Gi
Tou Is Ke Saath Badlay Ga Dil-e-Barbaad Ka Mausam

Qafas Ke Baam-o-Dar Mein Roshni Si Aayi Jaati Hai
Chaman Mein Aagaya Shayad Lab-e-Aazaad Ka Mausam

Mere Sheher-e-Pareshaan Mein Teri Be-Chaand Raaton Mein
Bohat Hee Yaad Karta Hun Teri Bunyaad Ka Mausam

Na Koi Gham Khizaan Ka Hai, Na Khwaahish Hai Bahaaron Ki
Hamaaray Saath Hai “Amjad” Kisi Ki Yaad Ka Mausam

Koi bhi aadmi pura nahin hai,
Kahin ankhain kahin chehra nahin hai,

Yahan se kyon koi begana guzre,
Yeh mere khawb hain rasta nahin hai,

Jahan par they teri palkon ke saye,
Wahan ab koi saaya nahin hai,

Zamana dekhta hai har tamasha,
Yeh larka khel se thakta nahin hai,

Hazaron sheher hain hamraah us ke,
Musafir sheher mein tanhaa nahin hai,

Yeh kese khawb se jaagi hain ankhain,
Kisi manzar pe dil jamta nahi hai,

Jo dekho to har ik jaanib samandar,
Magar peeney ko ik qatra nahin hai,

Khudaa ki hai yehi pehchaan shayed,
Ke koi aur us jesa nahin hai..

Jab bhi ik shaam yaad ati hai,
Jese duniya theher si jati hai,

Ik taraf dil hain, Ik taraf duniya,
Aur yeh scene kayenaati hai,

Yu’n bhi hota hai sher, baaz aukat,
Jese bijli si koond jati hai,

Maut se ham’kalaam hone ke,
Zindagi raste dikhati hai,

Haar hoti hai aarzi, us ko,
Be-dili mustakil banati hai,

Haadsey aik pal nahin rukte
Zindagi hai ke chalti jati hai,

Us ke dam se hain ronaq’en sari,
Yeh jo dunya ki be-sabaati hai,

Baat koi samajh nahin ati,
Baat itni samajh mein ati hai..

Main azal ki shaakh se toota hua,
Phir raha hoon aaj tak bhatka hua,

Dekhta rehta hai mujhe ko raat din,
Koi apne takht per betha hua,

Chand taare dur peechey reh gaye,
Main kahan par agaya urta hua,

Band khirki se hawaa ati rahi,
Aik sheesha tha kahin toota hua,

Khirkiyon mein, Kaghzon mein, Maiz per,
Saarey kamre mein hai woh phelaa hua,

Apne maazi ka samundar chaaniye,
Ik khazaana hai yahan dooba hua,

Doston ne kuch sabak aese diye,
Apne saaye se bhi hoon sehma hua,

Kis ki aahat atey atey ruk gayi,
Kis ne mera saans hai roka hua?

Sitaron ko badalna chahate hain
Tare ham rah chalna chahte hain

Bohat barhaq sahe, paste hamare
Magar ab ham sanbhalna chahte hain

Sehar jase bhe ho, pher bhe sehar he
Shab-e-gum se nikalna chahte hain

Chaton se barf rokhsat ho rahe he
Ye mosam ab badalna chahte hain

Mehakte shokh jazbon ke tarha ham
Tare dill men machalna chahte hain

Nahe rokte same ke teez andhe
Deye to kab se jalna chahte hain

Koi bhi aadmi poora nahin hai,
Kahin aankhen, Kahin chehra nahin hai..

Kya kya hamare khawb they, jane kahan pe kho gaye..
Amjad Islam Amjad Poetry

Kya kya hamare khawb they, jane kahan pe kho gaye,
Tum bhi kisi ke sath ho, Hum bhi kisi ke ho gaye,

Jane woh kyon they, Kaun they? aaye they kis liye yahan,
Woh jo fashaar-e-waqt mein, Bojh sa aik ddho gaye,

Us ki nazar ne yoon kiya gard-e-malal-e-jaan ko saaf,
Abar baras ke jis tarah, Saarey chaman ko dho gaye,

Katne se aur barhti hai uthey huye sarun ki fassal,
Apne lahu se ahl-e-dil, Beej yeh kese bo gaye,

Jin ke bagher ik pal, Jeena bhi muhaal tha,
Shaklain bhi un ki bujh gayin, Naam bi un ke kho gaye,

Ankhon mein bhar ke rut jage, Raston ko de ke duriyan,
Amjad woh apne hamsafar, Kese mazey se so gaye…

Hum nahin kehte hamari, teri dunya ho jaye,
Itne rangon mein koi rang to apna ho jaye,

Ishq woh “turfa-balaa” hai ke kare jis ki talb,
Us ko maloom na ho, Sheher mein charcha ho jaye,

Do sitaron ko jo dekhoon teri ankhen ban jayen,
Chand ko dheyan mein laaon tera chehra ho jaye,

Har dora hai yeh nigehbaan khari hai kismat,
Kese mumkin hai ke har shasks ka socha, ho jaye,

Hum ko har bazm mein, Har haal mein sach kehna hai,
Sheher ka sheher khafaa hota hai, Acha ho jaye,

Ishq woh kaar-e-musalsal hai nahin jis ki akheer,
Us ki taufiq hai jis shakhs se jitna ho jaye,

Husn ki ankh woh tahsees talb hai amjad,
Bheerr ho charon taraf aur koi tanha ho jaye..
