Voh..!!

Kaise keh du ki mera khwaab tha voh Zindagi se badh kar lajawab tha voh Khuda se umer bhar mangi thi mohabat Meri unn duwaon ka ek hisaab tha voh Apne mathe par kohinoor sa sajaya tha Kaise batau mere liye nayaab tha voh Andhere uske bina kabhi dur naa hote Mere liye ugta huva sa *aaftab tha voh *aaftab: sun Sabh kuch bhula kar dil se use chaha Khuda maaf kare, mera as-haab* tha voh *as-haab: lord / master Phir bhi mil kar use sukun na milta Jaane kyun ek ajab sa iztiraab* tha voh *iztiraab: restlessness / anxiety Jab zindagi mein umeed ban kar aaya Mere nasib ka aakhri intikhaab* tha voh *intikhaab: selection / choice Ubalte huve mohabbat ke junoon sa voh Mere ander se nikla inqilaab tha voh Jabh pehli dafa mili nazre unse ja ke Laga, mujhse bhi zyada betaab* tha voh betaab: impatient Jaane kaise phir halaat badalne lage Ek vakt har sawaal ka jawaab tha voh Abh use dekh kar chaane lage he kyun Dil ke dariya mei aaya sailaab tha voh Aadat bante bante jo latt ban gaya meri Haaye! kitni anmol si sharaab tha voh Jitna padha utne panne khulte hi gaye Be-andaz, be-hadd khoob kitaab tha voh Samaj samaj ke usko palkon ko bhigoya Jisme dubb gaye he vahi girdaab tha voh Mehkta, khubsurat, aankhon ko lubha de Tez dhar kaanton se bhara gulaab tha voh Jo aaghaz mein dil ko khushfehmi de gaya Anjaam mein samja ki dil-e-azaab* tha voh *dil-e-azaab: pain of heart / punishment to heart - Ritu Roy
