मैं शायर गुमनाम - 1

These are some of the shers I wrote long back when my life was all shit. Today, I'm the luckiest person on earth.

Gaur farmayein! :)



Sailab
Har hanstey chehre ke peechhe kai sailab hote hain,
Wo dard hi kya jo sar-e-aam beparda ho jaaye...

Zinda
Nabz chal rahi hai, saansein le rahe hain,
Khud ko zinda kehne ka dil nahi kar raha...

Aag
Kaali andheri is raat ki jaane kab subah hogi,
Andar ki is aag se ujala kyun nahi hota...

Aandhi
Ik aandhi kya aayi aasra khojne lagey,
Us toofaan ka kya jismein akela chhod diya humein...

Der
Todna hi tha dil toh itni der kyun lagai,
Uunchaai se girakar zakhm dena chahte they aap...

  1. Har lafz mein ek aag hai,
    Har alfaaz mein ek aandhi lane ki khwaish hai,
    Har jayke ke piche zindagi ka ek sailab hai,
    dard aur deri ka to choli daman ka rista hai.....

    ur blog rocks sir....see its effect evn a dumbo lyk me started trying to become a shayar....."mein shayar to nahin lekin magar....."

  5. What are you now? Ghalib? What you cannot write? You have written satires, reviews, anti-SRK nonsense, essays, poems, and songs. and now this is pure awesomeness. totally in metre and never away from the thematic feel.

    nihshabd.

  8. i lyk dat sailab vaala best.....the mystery and complexity of every person....the story behind it....the emotions waiting to be unravelled, yet afraid about the reactions they'll get...the relief of not having people know the real you yet wanting someone to accept ur real facade....complicated!!...lovely!!...genius!!...bravo!!

  23. I wonder that all those are so simple but they are leaving a heavy impact. I will not say that which one is good but just say that all are awesome. Everytime I go through those shers i am forced (by my inner self) to go through them once again and believe me I am liking it.

    Great Great composition !

    Salute !
