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…

~lokesh v. (XLVIII)
 

Zinda....

Khawboo ke gulshan maine khil raahe hai phool, to zinda ho tum

           Saaso maine umango kee khusboo hai, to zinda hoo tum

Nazaroo main kal kee sapne hai, to zinda ho tum

            Yaadoo ke jharokee maine milte hai kuch khatte – mithe ehsaas, to zinda hoo tum

 Dekh loo ek baar aapne mazhar kee aakhoo maine

           Dikh jaata hai agar tumhe koi anzaana aapna saa chehraa, to zinda hoo tum

 ~lokesh v (XLI)

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)

Zindagi aur Khwaab

Zindagi hai toh Khwaab hai

Khwaab hai toh Maanzile hai

Maanzile hai toh Neeyat hai

Neeyat hai toh Raaste hai

Inhi Raasto par chalte hue kat jayegi yeh Zindagi

Jee lo zindagi ke yeh suhaane pal aaise 

jaise na jiyee hoo pehle kabhi

~lokesh v(XXXV)

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)

Purvayee kaa Paigaam

ek parinda uud aaya tha aapni zameen see kooso door

                naaye aasmaan kee khoj maine

baasa liya tha usne aapna ek naaya gharoonda

                naayi manzilo kee chaaya maine

rehata thaa mashgool aapni hee shokiyo maine

                par murjhaa sa jaata tha, basant ritu ke dastak par

yaad aa jaati the usse apne gujree bachpan kee

                jab woo khela karta tha, aapne ghar – aangan  ke saaye maine

phir ek din aaya paigaam, kee aa raahi hai purvayee

                aapne saath lee kar woo purana aur suhana bachpan

lagta hai yeh sawaan aacha hooga

                aur beetigaa phir jeene maine, bhoole bisree sangeet koo

~lokesh v (XXXII)
