Jaam-e-Mohabbat

By Rucha Joshi


Agar ye Sach Hai ki aakhe baya Kar deti Hai

dil-e-haal, Toh ha dekha hai humne unke aakho mai

pyaar, Chahe dilagi kehlo chahe ibadat,

Mere khuda gawah Hai is jaam-e-mohabbat


Ehsas hai hume, par hum mushroof thode,

En aakho se, un aakho kelie kuch paigam hai chode,

Kabhi wakt mile toh kholkar een aakho ki patti,

zhak lena us bagan mai jaha mohabaat ke beech hai humne piroye,


Pyaar thoda kaam sahi… tha toh aapko bhi humse,

Kyuki har shaam usi bagan mai intezaar toh hua karta tha, aapko humara bhi,


Eek dafa nazar mili thi aapse,

Nazro nazro mai kuch esi nazar bheed gayi,

ki shayad usi pal, mohabaat jisse kehte, vo aapse hogayi,


Do jism eek Jaan hoti hogi pyaar ki paribhasha,

Par jism ko bhi bhula dale aasi antarman ki hai aasha,


Eek raat chaat par sitaro ki chadar oodh,

Chand mai aapka noor dhundne ki gusthanki thi humari,

Us hi subha badan par lipti aapki oodhni thi humne

sawari,


Pata chala jab ki aapki waapsi thi usi din honi,

Laga jaise chodke dil aapna sirf badan ki doli thi uthi,

Phir thoda sa socha laga ki aapko le auo phir yaha,

Bheed ke logo se,

kahi dur is jamane se, Lekin adhure palo se hi yadein hai karti saja,

Akhir mohabaat puri ho to usme kya maza…

xushniyat-e-saad hame sach me durust-i-buland lage; shaayad padh inhe kisi sard-dil me pyaar ki bahar jage. Shaayad.

The poem beautifully captures the tenderness of unspoken love, where glances, silences, and fleeting moments carry deeper meaning than words.

The ending leaves a bittersweet truth..... incompleteness is often what gives love its lasting depth.
