Ghazal on restlessness: बेचैनी

This week’s post is Ghazal on restlessness: बेचैनी, captures the essence of ongoing conversations we have with ourselves. Most of us oscillate between two disparate ends, sometimes we have extremely clarity about what we want and then at other times, we feel clueless and uncertain.

This ghazal on restlessness is an attempt to acknowledge and accept these uncertainties which embrace all of us. I hope the dichotomy captured in the shers of this ghazal resonates with you.

Here it goes, Ghazal on restlessness: बेचैनी


क्या चाहते हैं हम, बता नहीं पाएंगे
तूँ गर मिल गया तो,अपना नहीं पाएंगे

कल का ना पूछ, हमें आज की खबर नहीं
वादे करेंगे मगर, निभा नहीं पाएंगे

दौलत से खरीद लेते हैं लम्हें चाहत के
हैसियत ना पूछ हमारी, बता नहीं पाएंगे

हाथों की लकीरों को कुरेदा बहुत हमने
देर से समझे, तकदीर का लिखा मिटा नहीं पाएंगे

तूँ मेरी ग़ज़लों से निकल कर रूबरू ना आ
आंसुओं को पन्नों में छुपा नहीं पाएंगे
