शेर ज्ञान # 9

इस खामोश, वीराने साहिल पे
इक सिफ़र का आगोश है, और कहीं तुम हो
इन अनकहे लब्ज़ों के जनाज़े में
इक नाम हमारा है, और कहीं तुम हो

शेर ज्ञान # 8

इज़हार-ए-उन्स की आज़माइश में
क़ामयाब भी हो जाते गुलफ़ाम
तलफ्फुज़ ने दग़ा दे दिया, वर्ना
अलफ़ाज़ तो बड़े रोमानी लिखे थे

ज़हन से उन्हें मिटाने की जंग में,
ना जाने कब हो गए मघलूब
ख़ता बेशक़ याद्दाश्त की होगी,
यहाँ कोशिशें बेईमान नहीं थीं

शेर-ज्ञान # 6

दिल-अज़ीज़ वो ख्वाब सुहाना था ,
क्यूँ फज्र का आमाद होना था
लाखों थे हसीं इस कायनात में ,
क्यूँ आपसे ही इश्क होना था

शेर-ज्ञान # 5

अर्ज़ किया है .....

सोने की चादर भी यक़ीनन चढ़ाते ,

'गर अशर्फियाँ नाकाफ़ी ना होतीं.
इतना तो ख़याल रखें ऐ हुज़ूर-ए-आला,
इबादतें तो हमने भी की हैं

I wish I knew

===============================================

Dear Diary,

Something strange happened today. I was in a meeting when he walked in, unexpectedly. And then he looked at me and smiled. On other days I’d have dismissed it as yet another smirk but it was different today. At least it seemed different. I don’t know if it was a she-must-have-nice-things-to-say smile or a good-lord-she-is-also-here smile. I wish I knew. I wish I knew what he thinks of me. I wish I could talk freely with him. I wish I weren’t scared of him. Oh GOD, why are the advisors so difficult. Can’t they be, well, humans!

Everytime both of us are in a meeting, he’d do something to make me uncomfortable. Be it some silly joke, a light-hearted comment or just an evil look, but he never misses. I don’t know why he does that. I don’t know if he even realizes he does that. He may be a big-shot professor, dealing with high-profile people on a daily basis, talking millions but at least he should have the courtesy to respond to my good-morning and good-night emails. I mean, how long does it take to reply ‘same to you’. A little bit of acknowledgement, that’s all I ask. Is it too much for a student to ask from the advisor?

May be he isn’t the type of person who doesn’t express too much. Or may be he acknowledges with a smile but I, stupid that I am, dismiss it as a smirk. Yes, it is all in my head. May be I am thinking too much. I should sleep now. Tomorrow will be a good day. Or I’d find a better way to deal with it than ranting in my diary. I think I need help. Or may be just a sound sleep.

किसी को मुकम्मल जहाँ नहीं मिलता,

कभी ज़मीं, कभी आसमाँ नहीं मिलता.

===============================================

Inspired by and dedicated to one of the nicest persons I have met.
