...Raat ye bhi guzar jaayegi...

Yun kabhi kabhi sochta hoon
Ki kyun ye waqt itna tez bhaag jaata hai

Yaad aata hai

Wo befikr bachpan
Jab raaz koi kisi se rakhna na tha
Kab kya karna sahi hai ye jaanna na tha
Hansi ko vajah ki zaroorat na thi
Aansu koi bekhabar behta na tha
Duniya mein jab koi bura lagta na tha
Ranj koi do pal theherta na tha

Yun lagta hai jaise kal hi ki baat hai

Yaad aati hai

Wo bindaas yaari
Jab galti ko galti koi samajhta na tha
Shukriya ada karna jab zaroori na tha
Jab laaton se tod diye jaate the darwaaze
Privacy naam ki bala ko koi jaanta na tha
Kuchh kehne se pehle jab sochna na tha
Jab wafaon pe shaq koi karta na tha

Yun lagta hai jaise kal hi ki baat hai

Yaad aata hai

Wo ek pyaara saath
Chand lafzon mein jiski gawaahi na ho
Khushnuma sa wo ek ehsaas tha

Yun lagta hai jaise kal hi ki baat hai

Yun kabhi kabhi sochta hoon
Ki kyun ye waqt itna tez bhaag jaata hai

Phir khayaal aata hai ki
Shaayad meherbaan hai ye
Jo guzar jaata hai
Kisi anchaahe mod par theher jaata
To najaane kya hota!!

PS: If the title doesn't make sense, don't bother :)

    Jo guzar jaata hai"

  2. This is fantabulous.
    I can imagine Professor Bhole taking a class and reciting ghazals and poems for some of the chick students. :). Let me attend some of those classes. Please. Please. Please.

  5. Brilliant. One of your best posts.

    First stanza unparalleled hai...

    Hansi ko vajah ki zaroorat na thi
    Aansu koi bekhabar behta na tha
    Duniya mein jab koi bura lagta na tha
    Ranj koi do pal theherta na tha

  13. Fursat se pada
    aur Bahut Aanand mila
    ek simple sachchai
    tumne baakhoobi se nibhaayi!

    Mazza aa gaya Divesh :-)

  15. OMG!!! This is a real real good one...

    aapka yeh andaaz shaiyaraana,
    kehta hai kasak badh-si gayi hai...
    bewajah nahi lagti yeh chingaari,
    lagta hai kisi ki justju nikhar-si gayi hai...

  17. Great work!!

    Jab raaz koi kisi se rakhna na tha
    Kab kya karna sahi hai ye jaanna na tha
    Hansi ko vajah ki zaroorat na thi
    Aansu koi bekhabar behta na tha
    Duniya mein jab koi bura lagta na tha
    Ranj koi do pal theherta na tha

    Awesome!
