लहरें और किनारा

लहरों को ही चाहा तुमने,

बीच समंदर से हारे हो..

गहराई में ढूंढा है मैंने,

तुम कश्तियों के सहारे हो..

अब वक्त नहीं लौटेगा वो

जब जज़्बात बयाॅं कर जाती थी..

जहां ठहर न सकती हूॅं अब कभी,

जाना मैंने, तुम वैसे किनारे हो..

खेल जीवन के खेले जाऊँ,

पग पग पीछे ले जाए है..

कभी दे फेंक उछाल कर कोने में,

कभी राख होने तक जलाए है |

है माटी पास, मैं बनाऊँ गागर..

जल हर क्षण फिर भी रिसता जाए है..

कोसू हाथ की कला को देख..

प्रयास पराजित कहलाए है |

दर्पण के समक्ष जो आ जाऊँ,

सोचू कौन किसे बहलाए है..

मुख पे ओढ़ूँ मुस्कान हर घड़ी..

अश्रु मन का सौंदर्य बन जाए है..

खेल जीवन के खेले जाऊँ...

When Words Wished

 

Again a time to sit back,

There's a moment of gasp

When soul within sheds a silent cry

And quietly escapes a sigh

No one close to read the lines..

Those that travel deep and in the heart reside

Not too far to understand the unsaid

yet the meanings unspoken, gradually fade..

The broken words sulk; tired

And collapse with unfulfilled desire

The last breath of each one make a plea-

'I wish a writer loved me..'

A Fortnight

 

And the moon is here,

to face the darkness-

I carry within

It holds itself up,

longer than anyone did-

for me

I surrender my flaws,

those that are scars-

on me

Each day it erases those,

gradually losing its shine-

to nothing

To let my soul read a life,

it lives an eternal journey-

a fortnight

"माँ"

जिसके हाथों पहला निवाला खाया,

उन हाथों का सहलाना अब भी याद है,

जिस गोद में भरा है सुकून,

माँ.. तेरा आंचल सबसे खास है..

डर जाती थी जो घर देर से आता था,

कल टीका लगा कर विदा किया,

एक अश्क भी ना बहाया तूने,

वीर सपूत कह कर मुझे सौंप दिया..

मुस्कुराना तू याद करके,

वह बचपना मेरा गया नहीं,

एक साड़ी ले आया हूँ तेरी मैं,

जिससे लगे कि तू है यहीं..

वतन को जरूरत है मेरी,

तो दिन रात सेवा उसकी करता हूँ,

तुझसा प्यार करती है मुझे,

जिस मिट्टी को भी माँ कहता हूँ..

सरहद पर तैनात हूँ हर पल,

करना तू एक ही दुआ रब से,

तुझमें मेरी जिंदगी की शुरुआत हुई,

धरती माँ की जमीन पर ही मेरी साँसें थमे ।

After a very long time on blog!

Enjoy! :)

Yeh Kaisa Fitoor?

Kisi aur se dil laga baithe tum,
Aahista mein tanhaayi ko nikhaar gayi,

Gunaah is fitoor ne karwaya mujhse,
Tumhe paane ke liye apni hadd paar gayi,

Tadap Kar Khud, Ek Hi Chaahat Ki,
Ki Kisi Roz Mujhe Tum Mil Jaao,

Hum Banayenge Pyaar Ka Aashiyaan,
Jahan Mein Tunmhari, Tum Mere Ho Jaao,

Kya Silaa Diya Tumne Mere Ishq Ka,
Kisi Aur Ajnabee Se Dil Lagaa Liya,

Jazbaat Ko Andekha Kar Ke Aise Gaye,
Aur Tanhaayee Ko Mere Naam Kiya,

Waakif The Mujhse, Mere Fitoor Se Tum,
Kisi Aur Mein Kaise Tumne Sukoon Paaya?

Tumhe Paane Ki Zidd Mein Kar Majboor,
Mujhse Gunaah Us Shaam Karwaya,

Khanjar Se Dil Cheer Kar Tumhara,
Ishq Ki Mein Gunehgaar Huyi,

Us Khoon Se Rang Kar Khud Ko,
Tumhari, Mein Saato Janam Ki Haqdaar Huyi,

Yeh Jism Tumhara Tha Hi Humesha,
Us Pal Tumhari Rooh Me, Mein Nisaar Huyi,

Jis Lamhe Mein Khaamosh Hue Tum,
Meri Saansein Bhi Tum Mein Shumaar Huyi,

"Kaid" Khaakh Karegi Mera Kuch,
Inn Haalaaton Ke Khilaaf Kayi Baar Gayi Hoon,

Dard Nahi Pohocha Sakti Hai Ye Mujhe,
In Zanzeeron Ko Kehte Kehte Mein Haar Gayi Hoon,

Rok Kyun Liya Hai Tumse Milne Se,
Tumse Phir Yeh Doori Sehen Hoti Nahi,

Yeh Zaalim Duniya Ko Khabar To Hai,
Tumhare Siwaa Mera Yahan Koi Aur Nahi,

Kahin Bana Na Lena Apna, Aasmaan Ke Noor Ko,
Aahista Hi Kayi Daag Us Chaand Ko De Jaungi,

Waqt Nahi Lagega Bikharne Mein Mujhe,
Mein Har Sitaare Mein Tumhe Nazar Aaungi,

Dekh Kar Meri Mohobbat Ko Tumhe,
Ek Din Zaroor Mujhse Ishq Ho Jaayega,

Aisi Daastan Hogi Humare Junoon Ki,
Jaan-ne Wala Har Aashiq Sharmaa Jayega,

Judaa Ho Kar Phir Mil Jaane Ki Yeh Kahaani,
Har Shaks Ke Zehen Mein Bas Jaayegi,

Sadeeyaan Bhale Hi Beet Jaaye Hazaaron,
Humari Daastaan-e-Junoon Humesha Yaad Rakhi Jaayegi!

"The Belief You Broke"

And you loved interpretations- no definitions, either the black or the white. For every hidden shade your eyes seemed blindfolded.  

What if the black was too harsh to be considered a white ?

What if she yearned for the gray shade?

Was it only "your" color which was to be prioritized by her ?

Why the lows were never shared unlike the highs?

Why her actions, for you, were too hard to be understood?

After much of her efforts,those acts of loving you a way too much to be left nothing within, and realising them go in vain, sprinkled the dark shade of fear in her.

Yes, Fear!

The fear of finding and losing you amongst the extra-ordinary ones.

The fear of you gradually valuing her less.

The fear of not being loved back !

You did it to her.

No, it was her fault too..

She could've sent "heart" "hugs" "loves" on social media more in number instead of investing time in staying up late to talk to you; could've posted "their" photos instead of asking you to share your grieves with her; Had someone else been her priority, she could've made to your first !

She should have valued you that way and not her "off media" way .

Should she regret her belief - "The best moments in life doesn't make it to social media", for the only one she trusted, broke her to pieces, shattered her soul to the extent that she doesn't have faith in love?

Pray that , if not you , someone else comes in her life and makes her believe that "real love exists" and not everything is temporary,  some instances , some people are meant to be for a lifetime !

***

A (any) relation can never be proved ''perfect" or "imperfect" , "happy" or "sad" or can not be tagged as you see it based on how many posts someone makes on social media.

Let love have no definition , let it flow in your hearts, and not just in pictures and reel stuffs :)

See beyond imperfections, go deeper the soul, you will feel heaven with your companion.

Make relations with your loved ones worthy, it takes a little but if not valued, can cost a million :)

May be the post is simple , no fancy words to impress you but that's the thing, sometimes find and feel the comfort in simplicity too.

-Spread Love-
