Gopal Das Neeraj - Poetry / Shayari

[~ Manahil ~]

aaj kisii ne baato.n baato.n me.n, jab un kaa naam liyaa
dil ne jaise Thokar khaa_ii, dard ne ba.Dakar thaam liyaa

ghar se daaman jha.D ke nikale, vahashat kaa saamaan na puuchh
yaanii gard-e-raah se hamane, raKht-e-safar kaa kaam liyaa

diivaaro.n ke saaye-saaye, umr bitaa_ii diivaane
muft me.n tanaasaani-e-Gam kaa apane par ilzaam liyaa

raah-e-talab me.n chalate chalate, thank ke jab ham chuur huye
zulf kii Tha.nDii chaa.Nv me.n baiThe, pal do pal aaraam liyaa

ho.nTh jale.n yaa siinaa sulage, ko_ii taras kab khaataa hai
jaam usii kaa jisane 'TabaaN', jur'at se kuchh kaam liyaa

[~ Manahil ~]

duur se duur talak ek bhii daraKht na thaa
tumhaare ghar kaa safar is qadar to saKht na thaa

itane masaruuf the ham jaane kii taiyaarii me.n
kha.De them tum aur tumhe.n dekhane kaa vaqt ka thaa

mai.n jis kii khoj me.n Khud kho gayaa thaa mele me.n
kahii.n vo meraa hii ehasaas to kam_baKht na thaa

jo zulm sah ke bhii chup rah gayaa na Khaul uThaa
vo aur kuchh ho magar aadamii kaa rakt na thaa

unhii.n faqiiro.n ne itihaas banaayaa hai yahaa.N
jin pe itihaas ko likhane ke liye vaqt na thaa


sharaab kar ke piyaa us ne zahar jiivan bhar
hamaare shahar me.n 'Neeraj'-saa ko_ii mast na thaa

Duur se duur talak ek bhii darakht na thaa

Duur se duur talak ek bhii darakht na thaa
Tumhaare ghar kaa safar is qadar to sakht na thaa

Itane masaruuf the ham jaane kii taiyaarii main
khaDe them tum aur tumhain dekhane kaa waqt ka thaa

Main jis kii khoj main Khud kho gayaa thaa mele main
Kahiin wo meraa hii ehasaas to kam-bakht na thaa

Jo zulm sah ke bhii chup rah gayaa na Khaul uthaa
Wo aur kuchh ho magar aadami kaa rakt na thaa

Unhiin faqiiron ne itihaas banaayaa hai yahan
Jin pe itihaas ko likhane ke liye waqt na thaa

Sharaab kar ke piyaa us ne zahar jeevan bhar
Hamaare shahar main 'Neeraj' saa koii mast na thaa
