Shayari by Gulzar
कभी तो चौंक के देखे कोई हमारी तरफ,
किसी की आँख में हमको भी इंतजार दिखे।Advertisement
तेरे जाने का असर कुछ ऐसा हुआ मुझ पर,
तेरा जाना भी ज़रूरी था ज़िंदगी के लिए।
साँस लेने की फुर्सत नहीं है यहां,
और लोग मोहब्बत ढूँढते हैं।
एक सुकून की तलाश में,
न जाने कितनी बेचैनियाँ पाल लीं मैंने।
वो हर बार अगर चेहरा बदल कर न आया होता,
तो उसको मेरे दिल से निकालना मुश्किल होता।
कुछ बातें हैं जो लफ़्ज़ों में नहीं होती,
बस महसूस होती हैं।
दिल अगर थक जाए कभी,
तो चलो चुपके से रो लिया जाए।
वक़्त रहता नहीं कहीं टिक कर,
इसकी आदत भी इंसान जैसी है।
लफ़्ज़ों की तरह मुझसे किताबों में मिला कर,
कभी-कभी तू मुझमें भी पढ़ लिया कर।
हाथ छूटें भी तो रिश्ते नहीं छोड़ा करते,
वक़्त की शाख से लम्हे नहीं तोड़ा करते।
