ग़ज़लों की कीताब ...


" कुछ पन्ने ख़ाली रह गये,
हम वो कीताब पूरी कर ना सके ;
जीनपे लीखा करते थे गज़ले ,
उन्ही से दोबारा मील ना सके !!! "

…. Kuch Aur der takk…

Teri muskaan me, meri raahat ke kuch raaz hai;
Kaash yehi raahat milti rahe, … kuch aur der takk!


Aaj is sheher ki raat, hai buss tujh-se hi roshan;
Kaash ye raat chalti rahe, … kuch aur der takk!


Lafzon ko bhulkar, tera ‘nazron’ se baate karna;
Kaash ye nazar kaayam rahe, … kuch aur der takk!


Raaton ko badi der tak, buss teri khayalo me rehna;
Kaash yoon hi hum jagte rahe, … kuch aur der takk!


Mere thandey haatho ko, tera apne haathon se malna;
Kaash ye thandd bani rahe, … kuch aur der takk!


Milnaa, sambhalnaa, bigadnaa, muskuraana;
Kaash ye silsila chalta rahe, … kuch aur der takk!

Haan, apni mulaqaat, thi buss chand palon ki hi;
Kaash ke wo pal phir laute, … kuch aur der takk!

Tere kareeb hone par, duniya ka thamna yaad hai;
Kaash sabkuch phir tham jaaye…… kuch aur der takk!

Princess for the day!

I chose my best outfit that evening,
To couple his smart style;
And to complement his funny frown,
I wore a bright & shiny smile!

A poolside table awaited us,
So did the best service in town;
& shortly, it was just two of us,
So elated we felt, when we found!


Chosen music & special cocktail
‘Especially’ picked for us;
Exquisite pasta to casually munch,
And Ah! That was delicious!


Chauffeur driven car at night,
Breezing thru enticing city lights;
He opened the door, holding my hand,
to a luxury lounge across the sand!


We talked, laughed & danced all night,
Hand-in-hand till the daybreak sight;
He, the ‘charming’ – as now, I say –
Made me feel like a princess for the day!!!

So, that’s how ‘pampering’ works?
Or should I think beyond?
