Soocha naa tha...

Chalo aaj kuch roomani likthe hai....

Bahaaro maine kabhi aaisa samaa bhi hoga, soocha naa thaa

Hawaoo maine kabhi aaise khusboo bhi hoogi, soocha naa tha

Chandni maine - sapne hoo bhi sakte hai itne rooshan, soocha naa tha

Kissi kee aakho maine dunia dikh see jaati hai, soocha naa thaa

Kissi ke muskaan see khushi bhaagi - bhaagi see chaali aati hai, soocha naa tha

Kisse kee saaso maine hoo sakti hai itne kushboo, soocha naa tha

Woo kehte hai humse, kee hum kya soochte hai

Aab koi batlaye yaa hum batlaye, Kee aise hoogi humari sooch, humne kabhi soocha naa tha…

Awaara Dil

Zindagi ki aaanjaan rahoo maine

Nahin milte maan chaahe saaye sabhi

Zindagi dekhaati hai sapne naaye

Kyoki adhoori reh jaati hai poorani umeedee kabhi

Dil mangta hai afsaane naaye

Kyoki poori hooti nahin kahaniya sabhi

Dil ban jaata hai ek awara banjara

Kyoki khaali hai kaa koona kaahi

Chalta rehega yeh awaargee ka aalam

Jab tak milta nahin isse koi dilbar kaahi

 ~lokesh v (XXXVI)

Kaash

Kyo zindagi ki raahee hooti hai teedi-meedi see

Kaash hooti yeh bhi seedhi lakiroo kee tarah

Kyo dil dhadakta hai unki saaso ki sargam see
Kaash rehta yeh bhi aanjaan jaazbaato kee ehsaas see

Kyo nazar aata hai unka chehra sapno kee gehrahiyo main

Kaash yeh bhi hoote ek  meethi yaad ki tarah

Joo yaad jab bhi aate, toh dil koo dee jaate ki sukoon bhara pal

es bechaani ki jagah

~lokesh v(XXXIII)
