Han suno dosto, Jo bi dunya kahe..

Amjad Islam Amjad Poetry

Han suno dosto,
Jo bi dunya kahe,
Is ko parkhe bina, maan lena nahi
saari dunya ye kehti he,
Parbat pe charne ki nisbat utarna sehal he
Kis tarah maan len,
Tum ne dekha nahi,
Sarfarazi ki dhun me koi admi
Jab bulandi k raste pe chalta he to
Sans tak theek karne ko rukta nahi
Or isi shakhs ka,umar ki seeryo se utartey hue,
pao uthta nahi
Isi liye dosto!!!
Jo b duniya kahe,
Is ko parkhey bina,
Maan lena nahi,

Khud se hain shikaaytain, zindagi se gilaa nahin..

Amjad Islam Amjad Poetry

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

Mere aas paas hai roshni, mere raston mein chiraag hain,
Yeh tere karam ka hai mojza, meri justuju ka silaa nahin,

Teri aankh se jo haseen ho, woh nigaah jag mein bani nahin,
Tere rukh ko jis se misaal doon, koi aesa phool khila nahin,

Yeh jo teri zulf ka hai haashiya, yeh jo tera chahra khushnuma,
Koi raat aesi seyaah nahin, kisi subah main yeh jilaa nahin,

Yeh jo mehr-o-maa ki hain haaltain, yeh jo aayinon ki hain hertain,
Hain azzal se yeh isi tarah, koi apni jaa se hilaa nahin..

Meri sochain badalti ja rahi hain..

Amjad Islam Amjad Poetry

Meri sochain badalti ja rahi hain,
Ke yeh cheezain badalti ja rahi hain,

Tamasha aik hai roz-e-azal se,
Fakat aankhain badalti ja rahi hain,

Badalte manzron ke aayine mein,
Teri yadain badalti ja rahi hain,

Dilon se jorrti thi jo dilon ko,
Woh sab rasmain badalti ja rahi hain,

Adhoori, na’mukamma khawhishain kyon,
Neyi shaklain badati ja rahi hain,

Agar manzil wohi hai rahiyon ki,
To kyon raahain badati ja rahi hain,

Najaney kyon mujhe lagta hai Amjad,
Ke woh nazrain badalti ja rahi hain..

Dilon se mehr-o-wafaa, Aankh se hayaa nikle..

Amjad Islam Amjad Poetry

Dilon se mehr-o-wafaa, aankh se hayaa nikle,
To aese sheher ki galiyon mein koi kya nikle,

Pakarti reh gayi ratain hamare saayo’n ko,
Hum aik khawb mein doobey to jaa’bjaa* nikle,

Ajab nahin inhi dar’warsan main phool khilain,
Koi bahaar ka qaasid* idhar jo aa nikle,

Wohi falak* tha, wohi raat thi, wohi mausam,
Magar hamare sitare judaa judaa nikle,

Yeh ab jo rait si saarey mein urti phirti hai,
Kisey khabar ke kisi raaste mein ja nikle,

Samajh main kuch nahin aata yeh raasta Amjad,
Chale they us ki taraf, apni simt aa nikle..

Humain to woh bohat achey lage hain..

Amjad Islam Amjad Poetry

Humain to woh bohat achey lage hain,
Najane hum unhen kese lage hain,

To kya yeh par nikalne ka hai mausam,
Hawaa main jaal se khulney lage hain,

Naye qaatil ka istaqbaal hai kya,
Puraney zakham kyon bharney lage hain,

Ajab hai yeh talissm* hum-zubaani,
Paraaye log bhi apne lage hain,

Dilon ka bhaid* Allah janta hai,
Bazaahir* aadmi achey lage hain..

Chale gi yeh pareshaani kahan tak..

Amjad Islam Amjad Poetry

Chale gi yeh pareshaani kahan tak,
Bata aye ghar ki veerani kahan tak,

Bohat lambi thi ab ke, khushk’saali*,
Barastaa ankh se paani kahan tak,

Tere tootey huye gajron ke hote,
Mehekti raat ki raani kahan tak,

Rukey gi kab talak saanson mein khushbu,
Urrey ga rang yeh dhaani kahan tak,

Khilona hai isey to tootna hai,
Karain dil ki nigehbaani* kahan tak,

Usey baadal bulate hain hamesha,
Samandar main rahe paani kahan tak..

Aaj yun muskuraa ke aye ho, Sab kuch bhulaa ke aye ho..

Amjad Islam Amjad 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..

Amjad Islam Amjad Poetry

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..

Koi Mausam Ho, Dil Mein Hai Tumhaari Yaad Ka Mausam

Amjad Islam Amjad Poetry

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..

Amjad Islam Amjad Poetry

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

Amjad Islam Amjad Poetry

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

Amjad Islam Amjad Poetry

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..

Amjad Islam Amjad Poetry

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

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…

Amjad Islam Amjad Poetry

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..

Hasti ka aitbaar kiye bagair reh na jaye

Amjad Islam Amjad Poetry

Hasti ka aitbaar kiye bagair reh na jaye,
Dunya hai yahan per jiye bin raha na jaye,

Kat’ti nahin yeh zindagi umeed ke bagher,
Yeh jaam woh hai jis ko piye bin raha na jaye,

Chahat ka zakhm dil ko tamasha na bana de,
Aesa hai chaak jis ko siye bin rahaa na jaye,

Dunya ke is afshaar mein hai us ki yaad yoon,
Aandhi ho tez aur diye bin raha na jaye,

Ik simt tera hukam hai, ik simt kayenaat,
Yeh bojh apne sir pe liye bin raha na jaye…

Dil k dariya ko kisi roz utar jana hai

Amjad Islam Amjad Poetry

Dil k dariya ko kisi roz utar jana hai
Itna besimt na chal laut ke ghar jana hai

Us tak ati hai to har chiz thahar jati hai
Jaise pana hi use asl main mar jana hai

Bol ai sham-e-safar rang-e-rihai kya hai
Dil ko rukana hai k taron main thahar jana hai

Kaun ubharate hue mahatab ka rasta roke
Us ko har taur su-e-dasht-e-sahar jana hai

Main khila hun to isi khak main milna hai mujhe
Vo to khushbu hai use agle nagar jana hai

Vo tere husn ka jadu ho k mera gam-e-dil
Har musafir ko isi ghat utar jana hai

(Besimt:No Direction)(Mahatab:Moon)(Ubharte:Rising)(Ghat Utar:Go Through)

Wo Bewafa Acha Laga

Amjad Islam Amjad Poetry

Bheerh Main Ik Ajanabii Kaa Samna Achcha Lagaa
Sab Se Chup Kar Vo Kisii Kaa Dekha Achcha Laga

Surmai Ankhon Ke Niiche Phool Se Khilane Lage
Kahate Kahate Kuchh Kisii Kaa Sochna Achcha Lagaa

Baat To Kuchh Bhii Nahin Thii Lekin Us Kaa Ek Dam
Haath Ko Honthon Pe Rakh Kar Rokna Achcha Lagaa

Chaay Main Chinii Milaana Us Gharii Bhaya Bahut
Zer-E Lab Vo Muskurata Shukriyaa Achcha Lagaa

Dil Main Kitane Ahad Bandhe The Bhulane Ke Use
Vo Milaa To Sab Iraade Torana Achcha Lagaa

Beirada Lams Kii Vo Sansanii Pyarii Lagii
Kam Tavajjo Aankh Kaa Vo Dekhna Achcha Lagaa

Niim Shab Kii Khamushi Main Bhiigatii Sarakon Pe Kal
Terii Yaadon Ke Jaalo Main Ghumna Achcha Lagaa

Us Uduu-E-Jaan Ko ‘Amjad’ Main Buraa Kaise Kahoon
Jab Bhii Aayaa Saamane Vo Bevafaa Achcha Lagaa

Tery Naam se Pehly

Amjad Islam Amjad Poetry

Labon Pe Phool Khiltay Hain Kisi Ke Naam Se Pahle
Diloan Ke Deep Jalte Hain Charagh-E Shaam Se Pahle

Kabhi Manzar Badalne Par Bhi Qissa Chal Nahin Pata
Kahani Khatam Hoti Hai Kabhi Anjaam Se Pahle

Yahi Taare Tumhaari Aankh Ki Chilman Mein Rehte The
Yahi Sooraj Nikalta Thaa Tumhare Baam Se Pahle

Hui Hai Shaam Jungle Main Parinde Laut-Te Honge
Ab In Ko Kis Tarah Rokain Nawaah-E-Daam Se Pahle

Ya Saare Rang Murdaa The Tumhaari Shakl Banne Tak
Ya Saare Harf Muhmal The Tumhaare Naam Se Pahle

Huaa Hai Wo Agar Munsif Tou Amjad IhtiyataN Ham
Sazaa Tasleem Karte Hain Kisi Ilzam Se Pahle

kisi ki ankh jo purnam nahi hai

Amjad Islam Amjad Poetry

kisi ki ankh jo purnam nahi hai
na samajho ye ke us ko Gam nahi hai

savad-e-dard main tanha khara hun
palat jaun magar mausam nahi hai

samajh main kuch nahi ata kisi k
agarche guftagu mubham nahi hai

sulagta kyun nahi tarik jangal
talab ki lau agar maddham nahi hai

ye basti hai sitam parvar digan ki
yaha koi kisi se kam nahi hai

kinara dusara dariya ka jaise
vo sathi hai magar mahram nahi hai

dilon ki raushani bujhne na dena
vajud-e-tiragi mahkam nahi hai

main tum ko chah kar pachta raha hun
koi is zaKhm ka marham nahi hai

jo koi sun sake ?Amjad? to suna dena
ba-juz ek baz gasht-e-Gam nahi hai

Jo Zakham tu ne Diye

Amjad Islam Amjad Poetry

jo zakhm tu nay diye thay woh bhertay jatay hain
charhay hoay thay jo dariya utartay jatay hain

yeh ahel_e_shahr_e_wafa hain ajab bahar parust
sarooo kay phool faseelo’n pay dhertay jatay hain

nahi hai aur tu kuch bhi hamaray hatoo’n main
siva_ye_arz_e_tamman na so kertay jata hain

ajeeb loog hain , yeh ahel_e_intezaar kay jo
khud apni aag main jul kar sa’nwertay jatay hain

najanay kaun si basti kay hain yeh bashindey!
nazar uthatey nahi aur guzertay jatay hain

yeh aaj shaher pay utri hay kis bala ki raat
charaagh apni lawoo’n say mukertay jatay hain

darakht shaam ko lagtay hain shaher say amjad
kay shaakh shaakh parinday utartay jatay hain.
