बस इसी तरह   सबों के सामने लड़ते रहे हम ; और चुप चुप के  छुप छुप के आहें भरते रहे हम | जीने को और क्या चाहिए || कोई नींद में ऐसे ही छम्म से आया करे ; कोई अश्कों में खुद को मिला के रुलाया करे; कोई उम्मीद से हम उनके  रास्ते देखा करें   और वो  आँख झुकाए ही गुजर जाया करे| जीने को और क्या चाहिए || किसी के वास्ते सुरूर इतना दिल में जम जाए ; की एक  मुस्कराहट पर ही पिघल जाया करे | कोई आइने में इस तरह से नज़र आने लगे  की सजे वो , और हम संवर जाया करें | जीने को और क्या चाहिए || ........................................................... <किसी की ख्वाइशओं पे ऐसे  मरने लगे हम > किसी के लफ़्ज़ों की इनायतों में  हर रात जगे हम ; की फलक में जुल्फें , सितारों में आँखें ,नज़र आने लगे हैं | और जो मौसमों की सायरी हमने बुनी थी  ; वही आज  हमारे सिरहाने लगे हैं | अब किस किस से करें शिकायत उनकी  हर चेहरे में वही नज़र आने लगे हैं ; जो उम्र ढल गयी ; इश्क से बेहतर हकीकत ढूंढने में : अब हम भी मोहब्बत  से ही काम चलाने लगे हैं||  अब बस इसी तरह   सबों के सामने लड़ते रहे हम ;

I was wondering since morning .What should I write today? There are many things in my mind .Should I go for the depiction of darkness that forge your face every night , or for the early morning sun rays that always succeeds in penetrating the window pane? Oh yes ! there is a stretched bit of loneliness to share and like this and that there are many such things that I can conjecture to amaze you.Anyway at the end of the day ,while the sun was getting merged in the horizon ,I decided to jot  down the little things , thread you with little little things carved over imagination , polished over dream and perfected over night .I decided to revisit one old diary page .
