जो पहले क्षमा मांगता है वह सबसे ज्यादा बहादुर है!

क्षमा भाव से ही बने, सचमुच में इंसान। बैर भाव नर जो रखे, कहलाता शैतान।। कहलाता शैतान, रखे जो मन में कुंठा। ऐसे फुँकता जाय, जैसे फुँके है भुंटा।। कहे “नवल” यह बैर, बुरा है…

खता हो गयी तो फिर सज़ा सुना दो,
दिल में इतना दर्द क्यूँ है वजह बता दो,
देर हो गयी याद करने में जरूर,
लेकिन तुमको भुला देंगे ये ख्याल मिटा दो।

देखा है आज मुझे भी गुस्से की नज़र से,
मालूम नहीं आज वो किस-किस से लड़े है।

बहुत उदास है कोई तेरे जाने से
हो सके तो लौट के आना किसी बहाने से
तू लाख खफा सही पर एक बार तो देख
कोई टूट सा गया है तेरे जाने से

तुमसे ही रुठकर
तुमको ही सोचते रहना
हमें तो ढंग से नाराज़
होना भी नहीं आता

रूठ कर हमसे यूँ दूर जा बैठे हैं कहीं
उनकी यादें सता रही हैं हमें हर वक्त यहीं
कोई उनसे हमारी खता तो पूछ आइये
हम सर झुकाये इंतजार में बैठे हैं यही

दिल उदास हैं तेरे चले जाने से
हो सके तो मुसाफ़िर तू लौट आ
तेरे क़दमों में सर झुकाये खड़े हैं हम
तू बस एक बार सजा तो सुना जा

सितम सारे हमारे, छाँट लिया करो,
नाराजगी से अच्छा, डांट लिया करो!!

हम से कोई गिला हो जाए तो सॉरी,
आपको याद ना कर पाए तो सॉरी,
वैसे दिल से आपको भूलेंगे नहीं,
और हमारी धड़कन ही रुक जाए तो सॉरी…..

शब्दों का जाल कुछ गलत बुन लिया
पर मेरे दिल में वैसी बात ना थी
शर्मिंदा हूँ खुद अपने अल्फाजों के लिए
क्यूंकि खुद से ऐसी उम्मीद ना थी
