Late-night timepass

Naa kuch kehne ko hai,
Ik thakaan sii.
Raat beeti ja rahi hai, khaali makaan sii.
Mareez baney ja rahe hain gam-e-bewajah,
khudgarzi ne kar dee hai soch hairaan sii.

'kaash...',
sab maslon kee wajah ye lafz hee hai shayad.
'shayad...',
iss lafz ne toh jeena mushkil kar diya hai.

ruk nahi sakte,
dukhte pair chale chalte hain.
manzil jo baithi hai saamne, pukaarti huyi,
qatl kar dee hai uski aarzoo khule-aam sii.

OMG...from when u start writing such profound poems?
I guess it is a phase....when one does introspection and don't know where to go etc.
better is to look at ur words...watch them...and smile at them. :)

Lol.. Such varied comments from both of you.
More than anything is was to satisfy my urge to write some signature laments in a new style I think.. :)
