Bekhauff...!!!

Mohabbat aur rozgaar mein...koi farq na reh gaya hai....
Thoda kharch deta hun...aur thoda bahot bachata hun...

Is zindagi ko ab maine...ek jaam-e-jaan samajh liya...
Kuch pee liyaa karta hun...kuch jaan ke giraata hun...

Yun tere ishq mein main..mausamon sa ho gaya...hun...
Apne daur mein aata hun... Apne daur mein jaata hun...

Mere ishq ki yeh badliyaan...lavzon mein samati hi nahi...
lavzon ka daayra chhodkar....apna jahaan basata hun...

Ek Shayar hone mein... kuch apna hi raub hai "Niraj"...
Baaton ki kamaata hun... Apne zubaan ki khaata hun...

Heedless..!!!

Humne badi sahuliyat se..is rasm ka gumaan rakhha hai...
Ab Woh mujhse nahi poochta...main usse nahi poochta...

Bas keh diya ke kaam mein...aaj kal masroof hun...
Ghar kab tak aaoge...ab to koi nahi poochta...

Parwaane machalte rehte hain...shama ke ird gird...
Kya kua...kyun ho gaya barbaad...nahi poochta...

Tarq-e-mijaaz kar lena...gar main nashe mein hun...
Utthkar khada hua...to main hisaab nahi poochta...

Bhool baitha hun saare, adab peshi ke nuskhe...
Main kisi se ab zyada...sawaal nahi poochta...

Log is be-khayali ko...mohabbat ka naam dete hain...
Main apni dhun mein rehta hun...kisi ka haal nahi poochta...

Itna sasta ho gaya hun...ke muskaan pe bikhar jaaun...
Main kya hun...yeh ..mujhse..main bhi nahi poochta...

Destitution..!!!

Is kehkashaan ki raat mein...sukhan khali khali...
Bahaar-e-guftgu mein...chaman khali khali...

Jaate jaate kabr mein...koi rang to sanwaar lo...
Rangeen mijaaz ruuh pe...kafan khali khali...

Fitratein bayaan hoti hain...aadmi ke lafzon se...
Khali khali ghazalon mein...wazan khali khali...

Sunaa hai mohabbat mein...kuch aisa haal hota hai..
Waqt-o-dam...dil-o-dimaag...badan khali khali...

chadhte chadhte baam par...suroor jaise rok lo...
Kuch Khayaal behke behke...shikan khali khali...

Main kyun. Aisi ghazal ka koi makhta likhun...
Imtehaan ek pyaas ka...aur sitam khali khali....

Khali khali jazbe hain..armaan khali khali...
Saada meri bandgi ka...nigehbaan khali khali...

Neele neele rangon mein....aasmaan khali khali...
Samundar ki lehron mein...parwaaan khali khali...

Kuch aata hai zubaan par...bashar kahli khali...
Yeh Khali khali raaste....shaher khali khali....

Jaise sehra ki zameen pe....shazar khali khali...
Jaise Nigaah gehri gehri hai....nazar khali khali...

Jalan...!!!

Ek masoom khwab sa...machal raha hun main....
Yun Ishq ki..is aag mein...Jal raha hun main...

Dum...har dum...bas ab tootne... hi ko hai....
Mere hosh-o-hawaas samet lo...Pighal raha hun main....

Aaghaz Se Anjaam Tak...Intezaam-e-aaraam hai...
Na Jaane Kyun har mod par...badal raha hun main....

To Kya Hua..Jo Ek raat..Main Katron sa bikhar gaya...
Dekh..Katre Katre mein..Sambhal..Raha hun main....

Mere Armaan-o-yakeen mein...Mere Jazbon mein..junoon mein...
Main dhut bhi ho gaya to..Asal raha hun main...

Meri ungliyon ke pooron ko..maine khushbu.ein nawaazi hain..
Mere hone ki ek koshish ko...masal raha hun main...

Kaun se..marasim ki khalish...Yeh Kis Ehsaan Ka vaasta hai...
"Niraj" gaye the..Galat Ghar mein...Nikal Raha hun main...

(Intezaam-e-aaraam : Arrangement to rest
Ungliyon ke por : Finger tips
Asal : Real, truthful

Kaun Kehta Hai Samundar...
Aasmaan Se Mil Nahi Sakta...
Is Baar Aur itmenaan se...
Dobara Koshish Kijiye...

Is route ki sabhi line.ein...
waakai mein vyast hain...
Krupaya kuch der baad...
Dobara Koshish kijiye...

On Second Thoughts - 1

Na Chain Se Peene Denge tumhe...
Sab Apni Apni Sunaayenge...
Maikadon Mein Mohabbat ke...
Fasaane nahi chheda karte...

Kahaan Duur tak yeh raat jaati hai...
Kuch Der Chhup kar phir laut aati hai...
Chhoti Chhoti Baaton Ka "niraj"
Yun Roz bakheda nahi karte...

Kalahh...!!!

Yun Keh diya kisine... Kyun pardaposh ho...
Dil machal gaya tumhara...ek zara si baat par...

Dekho tadap gaye sitaare...tilmila uttha aasmaan...
Tumne ek kadam jo rakhha...aarzoo-e-raat par...

Tere khwab ki ek shaakh par..Ek chaand ..ugg gaya...
Kya kya hai ho gaya...in do chaar jaam par...

Ba-gairat Tumse ..."Niraj".. Kaun Aaj ki baat kare...
Tumne Ghazalein bhi likkhi...to "Maazi" ke naam par...

(Pardaposh - Concealer)

Gumaan...!!!

Aa Dekh...Kis Gumaan se..bhara hua hun main...
Tere chasm-e-noor se... Hara hua hun main...

Aa dekh meri chaal mein...apne .rubaab ko...
Na jaane kis sharaab mein...ghula hua hun main...

Samundaron ki sej par...badliyaan lapetkar...
Is tarah se chaand ko... Sulaa raha hun main...

Baazu.on ko khol kar...aasmaan-o-aabshaar sa...
Lag ja gale meri kaaynaat....khuda hua hun main...

Main aa gaya hun apne...aarzoo-e-makaam par...
Teri Dhadkanon ki tarz pe...dhara hua hun main...

Aa mujh mein apne aap ko...zara zara sa dekh le...
Bekhud ho tum bhi to zara....zara hua hun main...

(Zindagi ishq hai.... Aur ishq hai yeh zindagi...
Saans Hai...Sukoon hai...Maraa hua hun main..)

Gubbare...!!!

Khwabon ke Gubbare...
Hawaaon mein gotey khaate hain...

Kabhi dor se bandhe hue...
Kabhi yun hi be-lagaam...
Dhoondte hain apne bharam ko...
Apni raah khud banaate hain...

Kisi gehri khusk saans ka...
Junoon dil mein uske hota hai...
Aawara kehte hain...
shayad...aise junoon ko...

Ladta bhi hoga shayad...
Ya...sukoon se guzar jaata hoga...

Uski raahein...uski baatein...
Uska karam....uska naseeb...
Chaal bhi ba-khuda kayamat...
Be-khauf....Be-lihaaz...

Alhadd kism ke sab ke sab...
Na jaane kis yakeen mein...
Udte rehte hain...

Udne de inhe ya rab...
Yeh hawaaon mein toot.te nahin..
Zameen par phenk ke dekho...
Gubbare phoot.te nahin....

Baat...!!

Aa ab sar rakh...god mein meri...
Zara zulfon ko sehlane de...
Kuch bol mat...chup chaap reh...
Kal hosh mein baat karte hain...

Kuch mere anaa ki baat ho...
Kuch teri adaa ki baat ho...
Kuch baat ki shuruaat ho...
Jaan...Phir baat karte hain...

Sab pairahan utaar kar...
Saari bandishein ukhaad kar...
Baat nikalti hai..to dur tak jaati hai...
Dur dur jaakar...phir baat karte hain...

Tere zulf ke reshaaon mein...
Mujhe manzilein miliin...jo agar...
Main ruk.. gaya...to kaanon ke...
Nazdeek baat karte hain...

Har zakhm cheekhta..chillata hai...
Jaise...sabko zubaan ho lag gayi...
Main tujhse baat kar lunga...
Pehle inki baat karte hain...

Kuch kehta hai zabeen mera...
Kuch to kadam bhi kehte hain...
Kehte hain...Badan ke purje....
Tu khatm kar...phir baat karte hain...


Rakh le mujhko aastaanon mein...
Ek lakeer ban sakta hun main...
Main tera faqr na ban gaya...
To ...phir baat karte hain...

Kabhi iski baat ...kabhi uski baat..
Shaam-o-subah...aur kai raat...
Mussalsal baaton baaton mein...
Hum kitni baat karte hain...

hawaaon si...deewano si....
Gubaar-o-aasamanon si....
Apne guroor-o-gumaan mein...
Baatein..kya kya baat karte hain...

Baat kya hai...kya hai yeh baat...
Zubaan pe rakhhe hue...kuch lavz le tukde...
Apne agle pichhle ka haath pakad kar...
Simte hue...kuch jazbaat...
Kuch roothe hue imaan ke haalaat...
Aur mehekte yakeen ke koi....sisasakte ... Armaan...
Koi tol sake to... Aadmi ke wafaa ki zaat...baat hai...

Baat kya hai....

Baat lehron ki tarah..ufan bhi maarta hai..chhattanon se ladkar,..toot.ta bhi.
Bhikar bhi jaata hai...par...
Kaayam rakhta hai...apne wajood ko...

Baat kya hai...

Baat ladkhada bhi jaata hai...
dhuut bhi hota hai...aadmi se Jyadaa...jaakar so jaata hai...
Takiye ke kone ko pakadkar...
aur phir baat karta hai...

Baat kya hai...

Baat rota bhi hai...bilakhta bhi hai..
kabhi chup chaap rehta hai...kabhi kuch likhta bhi hai...
Baat umr nahi hai..jo khatm ho jaaye....
Baat shaan hai...suroor hai...imtehaan bhi hai...
Baat kai.on ki pehchaan bhi hai....

Baat kya hai...

Baat kuch bhi to nahi hai....

Hum bewajah... Raat ko badnaam karte hain....
Chalo... Kal hosh mein ..baat karte hain...

Tranquility...!!!

Waqt-e-tanhaiyon se..... Daur-e-jaam acchhaa...
Ban jaata hai... Kuch apna bhi kaam acchhaa...

Aisa nahi ke koi aur tha... Darmayaan apne...
Lo rakhte hain hum apne par ilzaam... Acchha...

Kisse ishq waalon se...Sunta hun shab-e-roz..
Naam waale aam hain... Badnaam acchhaa...

Suna hai ke ishq... Chhupaye nahi chhupta....
Chhup-chhupa ke kya kije... Khul-e-aam acchhaa....

Is matlabi duniya mein... Kaun kis se milta hai...
Bas Ek main acchha.... Aur Mera jaam acchhaa...

Tum sochte ho.. Kaise... Jee sakenge tum bin...
Kar liya masroof...khud-ko...subah-o-shaam acchha...

Ab thak gaya bahot hai... Gham-e-rozgaar se...
Ab zara sa is badan ko.... Aaraam acchhaa..


"Niraj " tumhare hijr ki baatein hi kyun kare....
Yeh tera... ghazal-e-dam... Paighaam acchha....

Yeh Kaisa Saawan Aaya hai...!!!

Yeh kaisa saawan aaya hai...
Jo ruh ko nehla gaya...

Yeh kaisa saawan aaya hai...
Main rootha tha... Manaa gaya..

Yeh kaisa saawan aaya hai...
Jism-o-jaan... sehla gaya...
Yeh kaisa saawan aaya hai...
Jo neend se... jagaa gaya...

Yeh kaisa saawan aaya hai...

Ungilyaan pakad kar meri...
Ek khwab sa thama gaya...
Yeh kaisa saawan aaya hai...
Mujhe rok kar chala gaya...
Main uski chikni sateh pe yun...
Dagmagaa gayaa...ladkhada..gayaa...
Yeh kaisa saawan aaya hai...
mujhe khwab se daraa gaya...

Saare ilm... sikha gayaa...
Mujhe aadmi banaa gayaa..
Yeh kaisa saawan aaya hai...
Mujhe ishq mein baha gayaa...
Ek yaad rakh mere rub-a-roo...
Woh aaina... dikha gaya...
Yeh kaisa saawan aaya hai...
Mujhe aap se milaa gayaa...

Ek ashq ke bayaan par...
Ek boond mein jo tar gayaa...
Ek zameen jo deh gayi...
Ek aasmaan utar gayaa..
Yeh kaisa saawan aaya hai...
Ek uski nek niyat gayi...
Ek mera josh-e-umr gayaa...
Yeh kaisa saawan aaya hai...

Ek.. uski rehmat gayi...
Ek...meri kismat gayi...
Ek uska garm ehsaas tha...
Ek meri aabroo gayi...
Na dekha kuch idhar udhar...
Woh khwab chaar su gaya...
Yeh kaisa saawan aaya hai...
Jo main uttha... To tu gaya...

Utar ke badan mein agar...
Jo be-gairat ho jaao gar...
Behna baawre.. lahu se yun...
Koi... raasta mil jaaye gar...
Ek zakhm raasta dila gayaa...
Tumhe hawaa se mila gayaa...
Yeh kaisa saawan aaya hai...
Mujhe khaak.. mein milaa gayaa..

Reh reh kar badan ke pairhan..
Cheekh cheekh kar kehte hain...
Yeh kaun sa mod mausam ka hai...
Jo ana.. pe teri muskuraa gaya..
Yeh kaisa saawan aaya hai...
Mujhe raat bhar jagaa gaya...

Boondein badan ko tod kar...
zakhmein seeli karti hain...
Hosh-o-hawaas par mere...
Bas baadalon sa chha gaya...
Yeh kaisa saawan aaya hai...
Main kahaan ko aaya tha...
Mujhe kahaan ko bulaa gaya...

Honthon ki narm..kone par..
Ek Muskurahat Chhod kar..
Yeh Kaisa Saawan Aaya hai...
Yeh Kis Adaa se Rulaa gaya..

Yeh kaisa saawan aaya hai...
Jo samundar mein sukha gaya...

Zyada..!!! More....!!!

Muqammal Khayal Se Tere.. Meri Har ek Saans Hai...
Zara Gaur kar..meri yeh baat..yeh Chaashni Se badhkar hai...

tujhe bhi neend na aayegi... main na soya jo agar....
Mera har ek noor-e-lafz... Chaandni se badhkaar hai.....

Tamaam uljhanon mein teri... main Sulajh toh jaaunga...
yeh teri chasm-e-Siyaah Raah....Roshni se badhkar hai..

Badaulat... Ek Khwab ke...Ek Umr zaaya karte ho....
Aapka kharcha bhi "niraj" .....Aamdani se badhkar hai....

Void...

Ab koi... umeed-e-deedar bhi nahi...
Ab koi... hasrat-e-visaal bhi nahi...
Kya ajab..haal-e-mohabbat hai mera...
Ab khuluus bhi nahi...bawaal bhi nahi...

Aasuon ka hai... Ab na koi karwaan...
Ab koi raaz... koi sawaal bhi nahi...
Ishq... ek saans hai..ek shor mein....
Is zinda zaat ki.. misaal bhi nahi...

Ab koi tarah se manata bhi na hai...
Ab koi tarah se jatata bhi na hai...
Ab koi tarah se satata bhi na hai...
Ab kisi tarah ka..khayal bhi nahi....

Kya kya ho gaya... Kya kya guzar gaya..
Koi waqt-e-ishq ka hisaab bhi nahi...
Kyun naadaan bante ho..Ab..jaan ke.."Niraj"...
Yun khelne-kudne ka.. woh saal bhi nahi...

Cause...!!!

Jee bhar ke dekh leta usse...
To shayad sukoon aa hi jaata...
Usne khair... Socha hi nahi...
Humne...samjhaya bhi nahi....

Yeh Lamhon ki aasaniyaan...
To waqt waqt ki baat hain...
Uske saath.. Kuch aur baat thi...
Kuch..uske baad aaya bhi nahi...


Umeed-e-Deedar : Chance of Sight
Hasrat-e-Visaal : Wish of a Meeting
Khuluus : Love
Bawaal : Confusion,Excitement,Hype

Tum...!!!

Aankhon Mein... Khwabon Ka.. Gubaar.. Tum Ho...
Ragon Mein Jo Daudta Hai... Aitbaar..Tum Ho...

Tumhe Dekhne Ki Koshish..Main Fizul..Kyun Karun..
Meri... Har Saans mein...Shumaar..Tum Ho...

Uske... Halakh Ki Pyaas..Ta-Umr... Kyun Bujhe..
Jaam-e-talab Mein Jiski...Baar Baar Tum Ho...

Tumse itni...Mohabbat Hai Ke..Jaan....
Meri Har Gunaah ke...Gunahgaar Tum ho....
