A "Happy" Poem at last

Khushgavar ye sama hai,
Ke khush hai mera dil bhi aaj,
Jaane mujhko kya hua hai,
Kin khayalon me duba hun main aaj,

Ke ye dhup bhi sehla rahi hai,
Aankhon ko roshan kar rahi hai,
Ke hawa bhi behla rahi hai,
Jaise tu apni aur bula rahi hai,

Khoya hun jaise tere hi soch me,
Muskura raha hun bethe bethe,
Duba hua tere khayalon ke aagosh me,
Ruk jaata hun kuch kehte kehte,

Ke har alfaaz me,
Tera hi naam sun na chahta hun,
Ke har nazaare me,
Tujhe hi bas dekhna chahta hun,

Na mila hun tujse,
Na pata hai tera koi,
Na puch tu mujse,
Ke jawaab nahi mere paas koi,

Ke bas intezaar hai,
Tere dedaar ka,
Ke bas intezaar hai,
Apne pyaar ka,

Jaane kyu has deta hun main,
Bina kisi k kuch kahe,
Shayad sun leta hun main,
Tere alfaaz ankahe,

Ke tu bhi gar bharosa kare,
To mil jaaye mujhe bhi zindagi,
Chal de tu saath mere,
Nahi hai ye koi dillagi…

Wo jo chale gaye...


Har lamhe se darkhwast yahi hai,
Ki tera saath de de mujhe,
Har pal se dhadkan puch rahi hai,
Ki kyu nahi yaad main tujhe,

Ke saason ki awaaz ab sunai dene lagi hai,
Raahein zindagi ki kaaton se bhari hai,
Ke ab aankhen bhi thak rahi hai,
Raah ye jaane kis ajnabee ki dekh rahi hai,

Kya chaha tha maine,
Aur kis path pe chal diya,
Kya kiya ye tune,
Mujhe hi begaana kar diya,

Ab tujse bhi kya shikayat karun,
Ke mohlat itni waqt ne di hi nahi,
Ab shikve bhi kya kisi se kahun,
Jab tune bhi mujhe samjha hi nahi,

Rooth gaya hun khud se,
Ya tune rulaa diya,
Ab bas ye hi puch raha hun khud se,
Ki kis baat ka ye silaa diya,

Shayad in sawalon me hi kho jaunga,
Aur reh jaunga main akela,
Tujhe na sahi, khud ko hi bhool jaunga,
Kaisa khel khela maine ye albela…

Koi Ho...


koi ho jisko yaad kar sakun,
aur keh sakun,haan teri yaad aayi hai,
koi ho jis se puch sakun,
kyun tujhe meri yaad nahi aayi hai,

ke muskura deta hun,
bhula deta hun,
apne pagalpan ko,
zindagi maan leta hun,

ke koi puchta nahin,
aur main bata nahi paata,
ke koi yaad nahi karta,

aur main kuch bhula nahi paata...

Kya kahun main...?

kya kahun main,
ke alfazon ko chehra nahi milta,
kya likhun main,
ke shabdon ko main dhaal nahi sakta,

teri muskurahat,
ya yun kaho ye adaa,
teri har aahat,
na ho zindagi kabhi khafaa,

ke yun to dur bahut hain tujhse hum,
par jaana pehcana sa ek ehsaas hota hai,
ke didar ke mauke bhi hai kum,
par har pal tere saath ka intezaar rehta hai...

Who do i Love?


When i was a little child,
i heard this word,
it sounded a bit wild,
loving a girl sounded absurd,

so i fell in love
as everyone does,
pure as a dove,
and everyone loves,

i started loving her,
looked at her all the time,
her name i did whisper,
my eyes did shine,

i don't remeber how,
and not even when,
did the feeling grow,
my heart let out of the den,

she taught us english,
but i didn' study much,
and the story did finish,
nothing new as such,

and so i moved on,
to love someone else,
a new look to don,
to be with someone else,

and then i saw her,
i was again in love,
i had someone new to bother,
i found a whole new dove,

and i was just smiling,
i was just so joyous,
i was just singing,
but my happiness was porous,

soon i realised,
that she didn't love me,
pain well disguised,
had again struck me,

but i was not to fall,
that is not in pain,
this was a speck too small,
to leave a stain,

and so i did fall,
but this time in love again,
beauty once again had taken its toll,
i could no longer abstain,

but i didn't knew,
what life had in store,
the moments were few,
when hope did gallore,

and so she told me one day,
that she was with someone,
and i was once again in dismay,
but still there was no harm done,

yes, u guessed it right,
it did happen,
i saw a new light,
life didn'e dampen,

for the first time in my life,
someone did say YES,
i didn't had to strive,
no longer had to guess,

but it was too good,
too good to be true,
i did change my mood,
dissaperaing like the morning dew,

i went to her,
and said i am not ready,
i didn't even deter,
i guess i was a bit speedy,

and i lost my love again,
this time i did loose it,
my life's going in vain,
since that day bit by bit,

and now she's is with someone else too,
and i can't even go back,
and i got nothing in lieu,
just took tears off the rack,

and so i am waiting,
to again fall in love,
time is searching,
for a whole new dove,

one day i'll be sixty,
and i don't have a clue,
will i be this witty,
or as sticky as glue,

would i love the one,
whom i'll love when i m thirty,
would i see it's sun,
or will my life be dirty,

and i will always search,
for the one i love,
because there does always emerge,
but WHO DO I LOVE???


LOVE ONE LOVE ALL

Do you know how it feels...


Do you know what it feels like?
To be left alone gazing at others?
Do you know what it feels like?
When nobody even bothers?

When the stars in the night stop twinkling,
As your vision is faded by that tear in your eye,
When you phone just stops ringing,
And there is no one even to say a goodbye,

When you lay on your bed,
Waiting for sleep to embrace you,
When in the morning your eyes are all red,
And your mother asks about it to you,

When you keep crying,
Even when you watch “Sex and the City”
And you just can’t stop thinking,
Why weren’t you a bit witty?

When everywhere you go,
You search for the same person,
When everyone you know,
Abandons you without a reason,

When you write such weird poems,
And you have no one to read them,
When head is full of beating drums,
And all you can ask is when?

Do you know what it feels like?
To keep asking questions,
And not get any answers,
There being a hundred reasons,
Not to search for those answers,

So do you know what it feels like?
If you do,
Please let me know too…

LOVE ONE LOVE ALL

Before i pass away...




Before I pass away,
Into the night of silence,
Before I go astray,
And loose my minds balance,

I want to tell the world,
That I too was alive,
My life may be curled,
I may have been a bit naïve,

But it was not all,
There was more to my demise,
It was someone else’s call,
That shortened my rise,

But I don’t want to put blames,
I just want to tell I wasn’t always dead,
As I may go down in flames,
but my blood too was once red,

You may have put a blindfold over your eyes,
And not seen what I had done,
Filled my world with pity lies,
I had just nowhere to run,

But I never wanted to,
I faced it all through,
Coz’ deep inside I loved you,
As purely as I ever knew,

And thus, before I pass away,
Into the night of silence,
All that I have to say,
Is that, you disturbed my life’s cadence…


LOVE ONE LOVE ALL
