Zindagi har mod par kuch na kuch sikhati hai. Kuch sabak kitaabon se milte hain, kuch logon se, aur kuch un haalaaton se jinke liye hum kabhi tayyar nahi hote. Kabhi haar se seekhte hain, kabhi intezaar se, aur kabhi apni hi galtiyon se. Waqt ke saath samajh aata hai ki zindagi sirf khushiyon ka naam nahi, balki un tajurbon ka safar hai jo hume behtar insaan banate hain. Ye panne unhi seekhon ke naam hain jo zindagi ne dheere dheere samjhai hain.
Makhmali ghaas mein timtimati,
Shabnam ki boondon si zindagi,
Ek pal to thaharti hai,
Phir phisal jati hai zindagi,
Apnon se mil jaye to,
Badh jati hai zindagi,
Tanha pad jaye to,
Bhaap ban ke ud jati hai zindagi,
Na jaane kahan se aati hai,
Kahan chali jati hai zindagi.
Maine poocha is dil se,
Bata tu chahta kya hai,
Agar khush rehna chahta hai,
To phir aansu kyon bahata hai,
Dil ne kaha ki khushi to,
Do pal ko saath hoti hai,
Ghamon mein to arsa,
Guzar jata hai,
Milne ko to Khuda bhi mil jata hai,
Par na-khuda bas ek
aarzu ban ke reh jata hai.
Hamein zindagi chahiye,
Uski takleefein nahi,
Takleefein hi to zindagi hain,
Aur hum zindagi ko hi,
Takleef maan baithe hain.
Haasil karne ki jadd-o-jahad mein,
Khushi gawa baithe ho,
Gar haasil kar bhi loge,
To phir kaise Khush reh paoge?
Dear Zindagi!!
Tujhse itni mohabbat hai,
Ki tere diye har gham ko,
Khushi se gale lagaya hai.
Baat wahi,
Jazbaat wahi,
Kehne ka andaaz nirala hai,
Kalam wahi hai,
Kagaz wahi hai,
Bas alfaazon ka,
Khela ye khel saara hai.
Kisi ne dost ban ke loota,
Koi pyaar ban ke loota,
Kisi ne neend aur qaraar loota,
Koi pyaar bhara dil loota,
Afsos aaj bhi nahi is baat ka,
Kyon ki jab loota,
Poore dil se loota.
Main jiska zikr karta hoon,
Wo meri fikr bhi nahi karta,
Fikr hai mujhe phir bhi uski,
Isliye bas fariyaadon mein,
Uska zikr nahi karta.
Pyaar wo nahi,
Jo batane lage,
Jatane lage.
Maan lo to saari duniya,
Na maano to,
Dhai aakhar kam lage.
Jise Khuda samajh ke,
Ek arsa chaha,
Usne ek pal mein,
Bhula diya.
Pyaar ke kaabil na samjha,
To kya hua,
Nafrat ke kaabil to,
Bana diya.
Bewafa mat kaho usko,
Uski bhi to kuch,
Majbooriyan rahi hongi.
Humne dil-o-jaan se,
Chaha jisko,
Us shakhs ko mita ke hi to,
Usne ye saza di hogi.
Na jaane kyun teri,
Baaton pe aitbaar kar baitha,
Farebi hai tu, pata tha,
Phir bhi pyaar kar baitha.
Ab tanha akele,
sochta hoon Kabhi kabhi,
Ek teri khatir,
Sab kuch tujh pe vaar baitha.
Zindagi ki sabse badi baat ye hai ki wo kabhi ek hi sabak baar baar nahi sikhati. Har mod par ek nayi seekh, ek naya tajurba aur ek nayi samajh milti hai. Kabhi hum jeet kar seekhte hain, kabhi haar kar. Kabhi kisi apne se, kabhi kisi ajnabi se. Aur aakhir mein samajh aata hai ki manzil se zyada ahmiyat us safar ki thi jisne hume aaj ka insaan banaya. Shayad isi ka naam zindagi hai.
