मेरी तो ज़िंदगी है फ़क़त आप ही के साथ

कोई किसी के साथ है - कोई किसी के साथ 
मेरी तो ज़िंदगी  है  फ़क़त आप ही के साथ 

रहमो करम से झोली मेरी भर दी आप ने 
देखा है जब भी मैने तुम्हें  बेबसी के साथ 

शायद ग़मों में डूब के रह जाती  ज़िंदगी 
रहमत न तेरी होती अगर ज़िंदगी के साथ 

मेरी मुश्किलें  हमेशा  दूर  की  हैं  आप ने  
मुझको नवाज़ा आपने हर इक ख़ुशी के साथ 

मन में हो  ध्यान तेरा - नज़रों  में  तू ही तू 
निस्बत मेरी हो सिर्फ तेरी ज़ात ही के साथ 

तल्ख़ी न हो ज़ुबान में - लहजा भी नरम हो 
पेश आऊं हर किसी से ही मैं आजिज़ी के साथ 

'राजन ' की इल्तिजा है - ऐ मेरे साहिबा 
बाकी जो ज़िंदगी है कटे बंदगी के साथ 
                         "राजन सचदेव '

    1. Thank you Vikrant ji for the nice and encouraging comments and for the advice.
      Do you think 'Rajan' is not as good as a pen name - as a Takhallus? Are you suggesting me to adopt a Persian name for myself? or is it because you think a pen name should be different than the first name? Many great Shayers have also used their first name as Takhallus as well. Such as Meer Taqi 'Meer', Faiz Ahmad 'Faiz' Man Singh 'Maan'etc.
      I have no problem choosing a Persian pen name - and in fact, I did use a Takhallus as 'Khaadim' in my college days when I first tried to write some poetry. But many of my Hindi speaking friends and people in the Sangats always asked: "what does it mean?" So, later, when I started to try writing again while in Jammu - I decided to use my first name.

      I know a Persian pen name sounds much more impressive but since, I know my shayeri is still amateur - not up to the standard yet.- and an impressive name won't make much of a difference. So, I will stick with my name for now but Thank you for the suggestion.
