Zindagi

Zindagi...

Ruktay chaltay musaafir ki tarah
Gumshuda raaston k safar pe ravaan
Munzilon aur musaafton main uljhee uljhee
Raig ya aab jaisi hai...

Zindagi ik saraab jaisi hai...

Warq warq phaili siaahi ki tarah
Unjaan lufzon main tur jaisay
aarzoon undaishon se bhuri
Aik lumbi kitaab jaisi hai..

Zindagi ik saraab jaisi...

Daal daal lipti khushboo jaisay
Mosam mosam phaili yaad jaisay
Ugti, nikharti, murjhaati
Khusnuma ik gulaab jaisi hai

Zindagi ik saraab jaisi hai...

kaanon main aashti ka nughma liay
Qutra qutra rus gholti hoi
Khuda aur khudai ki dhun pur
Bujtay hoay rubaab jaisi hai

Zindagi ik saraab jaisi hai...

Neend k sehr main dooba dooba
Hosh ki haqeegat se tukraata hoa
Qadam qadam lurkhuraata hoa
Deevaanay ke khoaab jaisi hai

Zindagi ik saraab jaisi hai...

Chehray chehray ko chhupaata hoa
Jaan e unjaane orha hoa
Maila ujla, dabeez, siah
Aisay hi ik nikaab jaisi hai

Zindagi ik saraab jaisi hai...

To Life


Life...

Just like a traveler, traveling the unknown roads, confused by destinations which appears like sand or water...
Life is just like an illusion...

Just like the ink spread pages by pages ,taking shapes of un-understandable words..soaked in wishes and apprehensions..in a large book..
Life is just like an illusion...

Just like the fragrance wrapped around the stalks , like memories scattered in different seasons, sprouting , blooming and withering away..like a beautiful rose..
Life is just like an illusion...

Just like a traditional instrument humming the songs of peace in ears ,drop by drop, marveling over the Creator and His Creations...
Life is just like an illusion....

Just like a madman's dream..enchanted by the deep sleep, confronting the realities ..stumbling every now and then..
Life is just like an illusion...

Just like a veil , hiding every face, deliberately or un-deliberately; clean or dirty, but thick and dark...
Life is just like an illusion...
