परत दर परत उधेड़ा खुद को,
पंखुड़ियों की तरह तमाम हो गई !
पंखुड़ियों की तरह तमाम हो गई !
काग़ज़ पे लिखे हर्फ़ों में ढूँढा ख़ुद को
कहानी मेरी यूं ही सरेआम हो गई !
कुछ बात थी ज़माने की तानाकशी में ,
ख़ुद को ढूंढने की ज़िद एहतराम हो गई !
बस दो ही क़दम तो चली थी साथ तुम्हारे
शुरुआत ही मेरी सर-अंजाम हो गई !
देकर तुम्हें ही सुर्खियां अख़बारों की
मैं ख़ुद-ब-ख़ुद यूं ही ग़ुमनाम हो गई !
======================================================================
Parat dar parat udheda khud ko
Pankhudiyon ki tarah tamam ho gayee.
Kagaz pe likhe harfon mein dhoondha khud ko
Magar kahani meri aaj sare-aam ho gayee.
Kutch to baat thi zamane ki tanakashi mein
Khud ko dhoondhne ki koshish subho-shaam ho gayee.
Bas do hi kadam to chali tumhare saath
Shuruaat hi meri anjaam ho gayee.
Tumhe akhbaaron ki surkhiyan deker
Main to khud-ba-khud gumnaam ho gayee.

Thanks for letting me know! I’ve to learn and practice before writing the next one. 🙂
Na jana ki koi yaha jee raha hai,
Badi der ki, meherbaan aate aate! 😀
Sher ?. First misra is mine. Second is anonymous.
You are so humble, you know? You are I, in fact. Zyada hoshiyari nahi dikhate apan, in new fields. Saw that Colgate fiasco? 😀
Love you for that humility, ma’am!
Always loved humble and modest guys. Being a Taurus, I’m none. I love attention.
Unfortunately, no one cares! 🙁
Write another nazm? On the way life twists you and brings you back where you started? :D,
I resemble my maverick grandpa… Waise. 😀
bahut khoob , waah!
Thank you so much. 🙂
इश्क़ में खुद को इतना डुबो दिया भूल गयी अंजाम-ज़िन्दगी क्या होगा – खूबसूरत ग़ज़ल….
Wow! Such beautiful lines. Thank you so much Sunaina. 🙂
It’s awesome! Read you after a long time and the beauty is still there! Loved the lines ‘Tumhe akhbaar… ‘ Reminded me of Gulzar. However, I think, it’s technically a Nazm and not a ghazal. But, jo bhi hai, badi pyari hai! Loved it!
Really? I didn’t know. Main to yoon hi likh deti hoon kutch bhi. without even knowing any technical details. All I know that the lines should rhyme. From next time onwards I’ll ask details from you and then publish. At least I should be benefited having a well versed reader like you. So be ready for that. 🙂
Thank you so much Rakeshji. Apko acchi lagi, that’s enough for me. 🙂
Edited the title from Ghazal to Nazam. Thanks once again. 🙂
उम्दा ग़ज़ल !
सभी पाँचों शेर भावपूर्ण, और नाज़ुक़ अहसास से लबालब!
Thank you so much Amitji. 🙂
