पल भर की मुलाकात

वो हमारी बात
तुम्हारी खनकती आवाज़
जॅेसे की हो सदियों के बाद मुलाकात
वो तेरी आवाज़।

तेरे होठों से निकले  वो शब्द
जॆसे कर दें मुझे स्तब्ध
शब्दों के बीच लगाए वो विराम
जॆसे करना चाहते हो कोई ऎलान।

उन विरामो के बीच बहुत सी कहानियां हैं
जिसने बिना कुछ कहे, कुछ सुना दिया हैं
उस आवाज़ में  तेरी जेसे कोई जहर हैं
असर हे तेरा मुझपे, शाम या सहर हैं।

वो चन्द घडियो का आमना सामना
जॆसे छुपे हों राज कई इनमें
कुछ कही कुछ अनकही सी बातें
सॆकडो रातें अनगिनत यादें।

मेने भी तुमसे  कुछ ना कहा
ना रोका ना टोका ना रुकने को कहा
हमने तो बस लम्हो से कहा, रुको
ये मजा मुझे, हॊले हॊले चखने दो।

More than fully

I sit here in my room
Overlooking the verandah
And I have seen everything
Unfold before my eyes

The journey has been beautiful
I lived what was provided to me
And what was given to me as begger
Getting away from my own debris

And then I stole few moments
I know they weren't part of my plate
And I looked at yours
And wanted to rewrite the slate

So I just stole few from yours
And lived the way I wanted to
Accepted them to be part of me
Including what I had and what I didn't
Now I guess, I lived my life more than fully

Waiting for you

She had been waiting for me for hours
And I tell her not to wait
Be late sometimes
And let me wait for her

Or just be angry
Say that she can't take it anymore
And wouldn't meet me if I'm not on time
Probably that's my only cure

But she still comes on time
I try to make it but I can't
And she never complains
Meets me with her smiling face

I ask her what's the secret
How's she so content
Waiting for me for hours
Or is it only pretense

She smiles and looks at me
This is something you may never see
When I wait for you, I think of you more
I long and I imagine different conversations
That we might be having with each other

So when I wait for you
I'm not alone
You're still here with me
In different ways, in different forms
Then when I see you, my love for you is re-born

Tuesday 23 December 2014

Thank everyone and Lord

I think I'm over you
Don't love you anymore
But I still want you
But I am not that sore

God knows why
Is it because you are unique
What is it that makes me cry
And makes me go weak

Is it because you have changed my life
Made it so beautiful
That I just love hanging on to you
And our love

Just don't know whom to thank
You, my destiny or God
I just love myself more
So I thank everyone and the Lord.

Terror!

What wrong did I do you
Why was I killed
and 100 others like me
Didn't even know who you were

We all think like that
Close our eyes to the events
and then one day, it comes to our home
We have nothing to say
Just feel cheated and broken

However instable my region may be
We live and expect to grow
I wonder if we are anywhere safe in the world
Coz terror shows its face everywhere we go!

Only if they know!

Only if they know
They would be jealous of me
They find a million reasons
But only those that they can see

Some pity for what I have been thru
Coz of my own mistakes
But when something like this happens
For beautiful things a way it paves

Only if they know
They would be jealous of me
That I have realised
Pain can also make you happy

Some are angry with what I'm going thru
Coz I am too stubborn
The insides of me they cannot see
It's only you who can confirm

Only if they know
They would be jealous of me
The changes it has brought
Reducing my dependencies

My arrogant impatient self
An emotional fool I've been
You taught me things that can only be felt
When everything else looses its sheen

Only if they know
They would be jealous of me
The reality is, an everlasting happiness
No one can guarantee

I cannot say I'm happy without you
Cannot discount your contribution
You've made me someone better
Freeing me from worldly delusions

Only if they know
They would be jealous of me
I am ready to be your captive
Once again, to be this free..

I am talking about you!

Yes, You!
I am talking about you!
I know you sit across
Reading and wondering
Having no clue
So, I am telling you,
All this is for you!

When we were together
and when we separated
Even then I knew
It will always be you

Your love may be far away
Away from the reach of me
but I am ready to stand in the queue
Yes, I am talking about you!

Things have been tough
Things may be seem impossible
but I know we will sail through
Yes, I am talking about you!

You, I would always pursue
Wait for your call for a rendezvous
Coz you! I'd always value
Yes, I am talking about you!

The new-The old

Is it my obsession
Or I truly believe in it
Do I believe in transgression
Or a short lived wit

The old way of life
Not having everything a blink away
Of having simplicity of limited resources
Of living life in a different way

I find myself addicted to the new ones
And still long and pray for the old
A satisfied person, a revolutionary
Learning from the past and the visionary
Is it my obsession
Or I truly believe in it
Do I believe in transgression
Or a short lived wit?

The falsehood of everything

Maa, why does dad work so hard
Why does the day never ends
And early it starts
For us, for our happiness my child she says
I think about what she said
For happiness aren't there other ways?

We have everything we need
The house, the clothes and three meals
Isn't everything beyond it, just greed?

I see people running around
For more and for better
I never wanted more
And who defined what's better?

I like our two room set
I don't want big apartment
This Bajaj is comfortable
I don't want an i-ten

The time will go and never return
Let's go out together, get some sunburn
This ac this fridge won't make a family
The falsehood of everything, is not a fallacy!

Nothingness

Maa o maa
All these things around me
Aren't they for real?
Aren't they for us?

I see the moon in the sky
Doesn't it look like the roti you made
I see the cow eating leaves on the trees
Can't we eat them, in abundance they seem

Then there are these things we call drains
Full of water from somewhere, may be rain?
It has changed it's color to black
I've tasted it, doesn't taste so bad

Maa, I know we have nothing to eat
But this world offers everything we need
Why you worry maa, I'll never complain
Let's pray together, they never go to vain!

By my side!

The moment I realised the possibility
My brain stopped working rationally
I dream about our dreams together
My hand in yours in changing weather

The moment I gained the hope
My emotions aren't in control, they elope
I feel what it feels to be next to you
And my eyes see the most beautiful view

The moment I realised the plot
I appreciate what I've got
The chance to evolve thru a roller coaster ride
And still at the end, have you by my side!!

Thank you

Thank you for giving her to me
Thank you for giving them to me
I should never complain
I should understand my gains

ALways be at my side
Always there to support
You would always make it better
What I would distort

Even when you are not around
I know you can always be reached
I wouldn't even know
How big a relief that is

Value

I covered the shortest paths
With longest roads
I was making it heavier
While you tried to unload

The roads changed
and the havens blurred
I walked with pride
Leaving those voices unheard

The blood grew thinner
Flowing in my veins
The respect, the equanimity
I just did not deign

I reached the haven
and found it incomplete without you
It's a lesson learnt too late
About the things we should VALUE!

My Criteria!

You fulfill all my criteria
You are everything I ever asked for
You get the perfect score
I couldn't have asked for more

You have that perfect height
Because of your thoughts so high
Your personality shining so bright
Speaks loudly, even though you remain quite

You have that beautiful face
Shining with the love that you give me
I fell in love with who you are
I know you are my sun and my star

You have the best education
Our schools cannot impart that one
The respect, the clarity and equanimity you have
Everyone I know. you outclass

You have the highest salary
With you, I can have anything I need
I know we should be in privity
Coz best things in life come for free!

The One!

One who writes or atleast appreciates different kinds of literature. One who earns to live a good life and doesn't have the lust for more. One who can be happy with who he is and what he has. One who doesn't take his life's decisions based on "what society will think", as long as he's not hurting the ones who matter. Who doesn't evaluate everyday based on how he was talked to. Who has happiness inside of him. Who he likes to work but doesn't have to satisfy his ego by working endlessly. One who doesn't mind taking vacations and appreciates the beauty of nature. One who is not afraid to sing his heart out. Who can dance enjoying the rain. One for whom happiness and beauty have no religion, race or language. One who understands that life is not what is happening at this moment and at the same understands that it is. One who knows how to be happy and spread that happiness :)

Better than reality

On the trees of the forest
Weather wasn't at it's best
I saw the birds and the skies
Trees were competing to reach new highs

I ran across, sweating bad
Looking for something I think I had
I stepped on something and it hit me hard
It probably was something that he gaurds

I looked around fully confused
Inside this jungle alone, I mused
I sat there beside the tree
If it's a dream, it's better than reality!

Is it Bad?

I had accepted the fact
That you aren't coming back
Well, that's what I thought
I had it and let it rot

I heard your name today
Amongst other things she had to say
She told she mentioned me to you
Asking you what's it you knew

I wonder what you thought
While you didn't provide
What she sought
Did you start to think about me again
Has it brought you any kinda pain

Hearing your name made me nostalgic
I was fine and it made me sick
I wasn't happy but now I'm sad
I wish to forget you, is that bad?
