This shayari on Competition, मुक़ाबला, is a response to all challengers. The ones who think they have chance to compete with while being innocently oblivious to the vagueness and frailty of their challenge.
Think of the time when you met someone who was trying hard to compete with you. And you felt astonished at the audacity of them trying to match up while getting fed from your hand at the same time! Yes, they exist around us.
Hope these couplets below capture those emotions for you and a fitting response that such situation warrants. I especially like the last sher for it has reference to the literary world.
Here it goes, shayari on Competition, मुक़ाबला
छोड़ जाते हैं छाप दिल की गहरायी में जो
मरने के बाद भी ज़माने में उनका रुतबा बढ़ता है
दुश्मन से कहो ललकार बुलंद आवाज़ में लगाए
कांपती गुर्राहट से शेर का क्या बिगड़ता है
यूँ तो थकता नहीं तारीफ करते हमारी
वो दोस्त पीठ पीछे ज़हरीले सांप उगलता है
नहीं जानते हम सलीका दोस्ती निभाने का मगर
दुश्मनी की रिवायतों से पाला काफी पड़ता है
मुक़ाबले का मज़ा है गर टक्कर बराबरी की हो
अपने मुशायरे में वो ग़ज़लें हमारी पढ़ता है
