कर गया क़त्ल जो भी थी दिल में हसरत मेरी
उम्मीदें भी सारी गयीं साथ तेरे
उम्र भर को कर गया वो ज़िन्दगी नाकाम मेरी.
वो मनाये जशन अपनी नयी ज़िन्दगी का
मेरे बिखरे हुए ख्वाबों के ढेर पे है महल उसका
दीवाना कुछ कम नहीं है अपना दिल भी
खुश है देख के वो मुस्कुराता चेहरा उसका.
दगा दे जाये जब दिल भी अपना
शिकवा क्या करें उससे जो था रकीब अपना
उस खंजर से क्या गिले करें
जब साया अपना ही था कातिल अपना.

ReplyDeleteThank you. I only have pain in my life to celebrate, and pain to celebrate with. If I cannot write even about that, it will be a shame.

ReplyDeleteThank you once again for the kind words. But you know what, when one loses all hope in life, that is most difficult. When you know that nothing will ever be right. It is like carrying a dead body for which all hopes are dead with it. But even a dead body is better because it does not feel the pain, it does not have to go through the daily grind.
ReplyDeleteAnd it is even scary to hope. Having been a positive person for a very long time, I have seen it shattered so many times, it is much more painful when you hope for a better tomorrow and tomorrow just turns out to be even worse than today, when you had thought that today is so bad, its just not possible to get any worse. Life gives you a new lesson in thresholds of pain everyday. I expect things to be bad even tomorrow, that ways I can still take the pain. It is much more difficult to take when you have hoped for a better life and they are shattered.
