Noor-e-Nazar

This time I have tried to pen down the mystery of eyes (“Ankhein”) with some thought process in the background.

I hope the readers will like the concept and its execution.

kuch kehti hain kuch sunti hain,

kuch swapan suhaane bunti hain.

dil se hokar dil tak pahunchein,

ik raah anokhi chunti hain

shabdon se ojhal labb hon jab,

yeh haal-e-dil batlaati hain,

ashkon ka saagar bannd inmein,

jab dard chhuye beh jaati hain

yeh raat ki chaadar oddke jab,

uss duniya mein le jaati hain,

jahan khaabon ka sansaar basse,

aur khushi hullaare khaati hai..

inn aankhon se sab dikhta hai

jag dikhta hai rab dikhta hai

yeh khuli rakho ya band rakho

bas jab chaho tab dikhta hai

kuch dekhke andekha kardein,

kuch na dekhe bhi dikh jayein

kuch dekhke nazrein pad jayein

kuch dil pe kuch kuch likh jayein

jab roti’n dono roti hain,

jab hassti’n dono hassti hain,

jab honth hassein aankhein royein,

samjho yeh pyar barasti hain.

ab dekh liya sansaar bahut,

yeh dhundla aks dikhaati hain,

kehti hain sab bewafa yahaan,

ik jaisa shakhs btaati hain

Woh shakhs ke jiski aankho se,

dekheinge duniya socha tha,

sang hi sang jeene marne ki,

khayeinge kasmaa'n socha tha

woh chhod gya , aur chhod gya,

ankhon mein aansu hi tanha,

yaadon ke manzar aankhon mein,

chubhte jo kaanton ki tarhaa

intzaar hai ab tu aaye ya,

aa jaye kyamat yaa allah

band hon saansein aur yeh aankhien

mil jaye nyamat yaa allah

Dhall gya hai “noor” nigaahon ka,

dhall gya “ravi” iss shehr mein ab,

na sheyr na kavita , geet bhi gumm

mar gya kavi iss shehr mein ab

na subah na hogi shaam yahan,

na khulni hain na bannd honi,

qissa aankhon ka khatam hua,

na jagni ab yeh na soni

-Noor
