WAQT GAYA, WOH BHI GAYE

चाँद सितारों की तमन्ना ना करते थे हम,
सुबह शाम बस तुझ ही पे मरते थे हम.

खुदा और शैतान हमारे नज़दीक ना थे,
इक तेरी रंजिश ओ बे – इत्मेनानी से ही डरते थे हम.

सांस आती थी या नहीं, इसका हमें होश ना था,
हर वक़्त तेरे दम की आहें भरते थे हम.

हमारी ज़िन्दगी का तुझको तो एहसास ना था ,
तुझको मिलने के क्या क्या बहाने करते थे हम.

दिल की रफ़्तार बेचैनी की हद्द पार करती थी,
जब तेरी बज़्म ओ दुनिया से गुज़रते थे हम

तन्हाई में अब बेकस ओ बेज़ुबान बैठे हैं,
तेरे आगोश में बन बन के संवरते थे हम.

Chaand sitaaron ki tamanna naa karte the ham,
Subah shaam bas tujh hi pe marte the ham.

Khuda aur shaitaan hamaare nazdeek naa the,
Ik teri ranjish o be-itmaynani se hi darte the ham.

Saans aati thi ya nahin, iska hamen hosh naa tha,
Har waqt tere dam ki aahen bharte the ham.

Hamaari zindagi kaa tujhako to ehsaas naa tha,
Tujhako milane ke kyaa kyaa bahaane karte the ham.

Dil ki raftaar bechaini ki hadd paar karti thi,
Jab teri bazm o duniya se guzarte the ham

Tanhaai mein ab bekas o bezubaan baithe hain,
Tere aagosh mein ban ban ke sanwarte the ham.

I have done a long stint in the Indian Navy that lasted for nearly thirty seven years; I rose as far as my somewhat rebellious and irreverent nature allowed me to. On retirement, in Feb 2010, the first thing that occurred to me, and those around me, was that I Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (you will find an article with this title in this blog) and hadn't lost all my noodles and hence thought of a blog titled 'This 'n That'. I later realised that every third blog is called 'This 'n That' and changed the name to 'Sunbyanyname'. I detest treading the beaten track. This blog offers me to air 'another way' of looking at things. The idea is not just to entertain but also to bring about a change. Should you feel differently, you are free to leave your comments. You can leave comments even when you agree and want to share your own experience about the topic of the blog post. Impudent or otherwise, I have never been insousciant and I am always concerned about the betterment of community, nation and the world. I hope the visitors of this blog would be able to discern it.
