Awaaz kabhi marti nahi: Remembering Jagjit ji on his 2nd Death Anniversary

Awaaz kabhi marti nahi

Kya bhoolen kya yaad Karen, isi mushkil me zindagi guzarti rehti hai. kitne chehre roz nazar se guzarte hain, lekin jaane kyun kuch chehre zehan me bas jaate hain. Yun to chehre sabki pehchan hote hai lekin tumhe maine awaaz se pehchana hai. Aur kyun na pehchaanun ki mera taruff tumhari awaaz se hi hua tha. Meri umr 12-13 saal rahi hogi jab pehli baar tumhari awaaz suni thi. Radio me ek ghazal baj rahi thi. Jitni khoobsurat ghazal thi usse kahin jyada khoobsurat tumhari awaaz thi. 

Kya awaaz marham ho sakti hai? Kya awaaz me jadoo ho sakta hai? Kya awaaz shifa ho sakti hai? Kya awaaz se muhabbat ki ja sakti hai? Kya awaaz me khuda basta hai? Jisne tumhari awaaz suni hai wo janta hai ki in sawalon ka bas ek hi jawaab hai, “haan, Jagjit ki awaaz”

Jhuki jhuki si nazar bekarar hai ki nahi
Daba daba sa sahi dil me pyar hai ki nahi

Pehli baar in lafzo ko suna to tumhari awaaz dil ke us samadar me utar gayi jahan se kuch bahar nahi nikala ja sakta, in gehrayion me bahut kam cheezen milti hai, bas ek do chehre honge aur kuch lamhe. Tumhari awaaz ke sahare maine zehan me tumhari tasveer banayi thi, ab yaad nahi kaisi thi.

Jab log samandar ke kinaare khade ret se khelte rehte hain, tab tumhari awaaz mujhe samandar ke bheetar le gayi, wo duniya jo kisi dharti se kam nahi hai. Wahan mujhe kya kya na mila, wo pursukoon motiyon se chamakte lamhe, wo yadon ki sunhari machliyon ki rawangi, wo tute hue kuch lamhe sheese ki shakl me. Ab is samandar se bahar kaun nikle….

Apni aakhon ke samandar me utar jaane de,
Tera mujhrim hun mujhe doob ke mar jaane de….

Waqt guzarta gaya aur tumhari awaaz mera hissa ban gayi, jisse main alag hona bhi nahi chahta. Akhir kaun is nemat se alag hona chahega? Fir tumhari awaaz to meri hamsafar rahi hai, is sangdil duniya me bhi aur bekhudi ke lamhon me bhi. Tumhari awaaz meri humsaaz rahi hai, us daur me jab koi nahi tha aur tabhi jab sab aas paas the. Tumhari awaaz meri awaaz rahi hai, haan kuch baaten maine kabhi kahi nahi, kyu ki tumne unhe apni awaaz de di, fir mujhe kehne ki zaroorat hi kya thi?

kisko aati hai maseehai kise awaaz dun?
Bol aye khunkhaar tanhaai kise awaaz dun?

Jis maseehai ka intezaar tumhe raha usi ka talabgaar main bhi hun. Tumhari awaaz mere dil ka marham rahi hai. Isne mere dil ko chua nahi sehlaya bhi hai, lori bhi sunayi hai aur jagaya bhi hai. Main jab haar ke ruk gaya tumne mujhe chalne ka hausla bhi diya. Mujhe khwabon ko sajane me madad ki aur agar ye khwab toote to sametne ke liye haath bataya. Suna hai Log kehte hain ab tum nahi ho. Logon ke liye shayad tum nahi hoge lekin mere liye to tum hamesha jinda ho, apni awaaz ki shakl me. Kyu ki awaaz kabhi marti nahi.

Dekhte hi dekte duniya se maiN uth jaaoonga
dekhti ki dekhti reh jaayegi duniya muJhe…..

Jaa raha hun

Jaa raha hun, jaa raha hun,
Tumhe chor kar, main jaa raha hun,

Apni majbooriyon ki ek saza hun,
Galatfahmi hai tumahri ki bewafa hun,
Zuban na sahi khamosh labo ki dua hun,
Apni muflasi ki keemat chuka raha hun,
Tumhe chor kar, main jaa raha hun,

Mita sako to khwabon se mita dena,
Jala sako to har tasveer jala dena,
Bhula sako to dil se bhula dena,
Main apni har amanat jala raha hun,
Tumhe chor kar, main jaa raha hun.

Ye sach hai kisi ko itella nahi,
Mere khwabon se ab talak koi mila nahi,
Hakeekat me mulakaton ka silsila nahi,
Khwabon me isliye tumko saja raha hun,
Tumhe chor kar, main jaa raha hun.

Judai ho har taraf, wasl ki raat na ho,
Kisi aur ki khatir dil me jazbaat na ho,
Khuda kare ulfat ka ab ehsaas na ho,
Sab kuch main tum par luta raha hun
Tumhe chor kar, main jaa raha hun.

Bhatakte Rehna

Tumhare khwabon ke jungalon me bhatakte rehna,

Dil ki kismat me to hai beja dhadakte rehna.

Sard raaton ke marg andheron me bhi,

Mahoo-anjum ne kaha bhoola chamakte rehna.

Apni kismat to toofan ki maari machli jaisi,

Geele sahilon pe saanson ke liye machalte rehna.

Hum jo thamenge kisi ka haath, to umr bhar ke liye,

Par jamane ki riwayat me to hai badalte rehna.

Tumhari yaad ke badal jab jab dil pe chaaye hain,

In aankhon ka lehja raha musal.sal baraste rehna.

Ye to duniya hai , bichayegi laakh kaaten,

Aye dil tu bhi magar, apni raah pe chalte rehna.

ख्वाब देख लिए

हमने   इस  दुनिया  के  अंदाज़  देख  लिए
दोस्तों  के बेकदर जज़्बात  देख  लिए

कसूर क्या  तुम्हारा ये  गुनाह  है हमारा
हमने  खुली  आखों  से  ख्वाब  देख  लिए

दामन में   हमारे  आंसुओं  की  दौलत
दुआओं  के  असर   बेहिसाब   देख  लिए

उठता  रहा  जब  जब  तूफ़ान
हमने  कश्ती  के  अहबाब (दोस्त) देख  लिए

एक  मुसीबत  ही  है  जो  साथ  चलती  है
हमने  कई  लोगों  के  साथ  देख लिए

सजा  है  इस  बात  की  हिज्र  शायद
इन  हाथों में  हमने  वो  हाथ  देख  लिए

Humne is duniya ke andaaz dekh liye
doston ke bekadar jazbaat dekh liye

kasoor kya tumhara ye gunah hai hamara
humne khuli aakhon se khwab dekh liye

daman me hamare aansuon ki daulat
duaon ke asar behisaab dekh liye

uthta raha jab jab toofan
humne kashti ke ahbaab(dost) dekh liye

ek musibat hi hai jo saath chalti hai
humne kai logon ke saath dekh liye

saja hai is baat ki hijr shayad
in hathon me humne wo haath dekh liye

शहनाई

सुहानी  रात  है  आई, तुम, मैं और तन्हाई,
बाहों में बादल की , ली चाँद ने अंगडाई!

जुल्फों ने अच्छा हुआ छुपा ली रुख की चांदनी,
वरना दिल चुरा लेती मेरा, आज तेरी रानाई ! (beauty)

तेरी मेरी उलझन क्या और नहीं फिर बढ़ जाती,
गाता  कोई  गीत, अगर बजने लगती शहनाई!
