Mistitle Beauty

“Some one teaches you the meaning of frenship & goes away
And you wait forever for the day of her return
To learn the way how to live without ‘em
And a day comes saying aloud
“She Can’t come back”
Today also my best moments I spend are with you
Fact been I don’t call ‘em Dreams any more…

Time and Tide waits for

Time and Tide waits for none,
Who waits anyways ?


Mornings don't wait for you to wake up
Evenings never wait to be loved
Nights don't wait for you to hug yourself

Parents don't wait for the tight hug
Kids, never for the last lesson
Friends, even they don't wait like before

And the questions, the deep rooted ones,
They too don't wait for long
Once dwell deeper into the psyche
But, at last, even they leave without the final good byes

Time heals everything, that's too optimistic
Time numbs everything, and that's more real

This can't be It

This can't be it.
Let us end the things
Or let the things end you
But, this can't be it.

Teach her to hold the pen but remember to let her write her own future 

मना नहीं करूँगा

दे  सब  मुश्किलें , दे  सारी  तकलीफ
पर  साथ  मे , उम्मीद  ज़रूर  देना
तब  फिर  मै  , मना  नहीं  करूँगा

दे  कुछ  ठुकराने  वाले  लोग, दे  थोड़ा  अकेलापन  भी
पर  उस  पल  मे , दे  कुछ  याद  करने  वाले  बीते  पल  भी
तब  फिर  मै  , मना  नहीं  करूँगा

वो  खेल  दे , कि वो  हार  जाए , वो  पहेलियाँ  की  समझ  न  आए
पर  साथ  मे  वो  हाथ  पड़ने  वाला  भी  दे , भले आइना  ही  सही
तब  फिर  मै  , मना  नहीं  करूँगा

कुछ  रोज़ , जब  लगे  कि वो  कहाँ  आ  गयी , लगे  क्यूँ  है यहां
साथमे  दे  वो  रास्ता  निकलने  का , वो  घड़ी  चुनने  की
तब  फिर  मै  , मना  नहीं  करूँगा

गलत  होने  दे  उससे , कभी  चाहे  पता  भी  न  चले
पर  अगर  गिरे  तो , एक  हाथ  आगे  कर  देना
तब  फिर  मै  , मना  नहीं  करूँगा

बोलना , खुद  से  ज़ादा  किसी  से  कुछ  उम्मीद  न  करे
खुद  से  ज़ादा  समय  और  किसी को  न  दे
खुद  है  तो  खुदा  है , याद  दिलाना  उसे

अच्छी  है , मेरी है , थोड़ी  तेरी  भी  शायद
हो  पाए  तो  बित्ते  भर  की  किस्मत  भी  दे  देना , गिरे  तो  खुद  उठ  जाने  की  हिम्मत  भी
तब  फिर  मै  , मना  नहीं  करूँगा

The One, The new Me

She, like a petal of the white midnight flower, with a quiver
Or the glittering polished pebbles, along the flowing river
Or the verse sitting in the poet's mind
That's the freshness that bloomed, one of a kind

The smile, ahh like someone just got new eyes
The cheer on the little one's face when dad returns from war cries
Look on the sunflower, seeing the first sunray
Look on hearing mum's laugh, they say

So tiny, as a thought that just went past
As fragile as the first drop, on top of my ship's mast,
Oh the shadow, as small when the sun shining in the noon
The petite look, as a kid staring at the moon

Time started with the big bang in some distant world
Time slowed on the 17th Feb for a few hours
And it stopped amongst the first few cries
I felt that pumping heart after a few tries

On the 17th, I was the "first" to hold
Life creates another life, the miracle unfold
Keep smiling, fill the world with joy
Spreading happiness with that coy

I don't pray much, almost a non-believer, from long
Haven't done that many great things, to be bestowed upon
The first words the "gha" and "ghu" when heard
I knew that's my lovely cuckoo bird

You are the reason to feel alive
You are the reason to feel
You are the new me,
You are, so I am

Switching Lanes

Do you drive fast ?
No that's not the question actually.
But the question to be asked is
Do you drive faster enough, or not ?

On those crossroads of life,
where you've to take a turn
everyone tries to take that "right" turn
believing it'll be the final move

But no.With all the very rights, and the ugly lefts
Its about switching lanes too !!!
Where friends honk if you're too slow
Foes, if they're too slow

Strangely that day, no one seems honking
Strangely that day, no lefts, no rights were visible
Strangely that day, no lefts, no rights were visible
I was alone on the roads
And they appeared going no where

There came questions, I can't answer
There came those thoughts, I can't fathom
There came the light, that felt annoying
and there came the void, I carried somewhere from long...

Were these roads really taking me anywhere ?
Is reaching just the delusion, like starting was ?
Why was I driving at all, getting closer to whom ? getting away from where ?
Were the rights and lefts just some mind game ?
And ahh, are these games mine or not ??
who answers ? who knows ? who cares ?

Marriage

Hi World...

Got Married, this 30th November, 2012
and with the Best Girl in the world ...

*Kanika*, her name
K, the letter I was in love with, from time immemorial

Love
Raj

हाँ तुम ही तो थी, 'K'

हाँ तुम ही तो थी ,
जिन्हें उन धुंधले से सपनों मे कभी देखा करता था
हाँ तुम ही तो थी ,
उन रातों की वो चाँदनी , अकेले मे जिससे, कभी बातें करता था

हाँ तुम ही तो थी ,
उस धुप मे ठंडी छाँव ,
उस सर्द रात में अंगीठी की आंच
या कोहरे को हटाते, सूरज की किरण

कभी कुछ  ज़ादा माँगा नहीं , कभी किसी को इतना  पूजा नहीं
पर हाँ,
पाने की अगर कोई चाह, या जीने की कोई वजह
अगर कोई थी, तो वो भी, हाँ तुम ही तो थी
तुम ही हो, और तुम ही रहोगी

Time is God

शाम , ज़िन्दगी का वो ठहराव ;
                                    या अंत की शुरुआत
शाम , उन  यादों का ख़त्म होना ;
                                    या उसी गम मे खुद का ख़त्म हो जाना
शाम , कल  की सुबह का इंतज़ार ;
                                    या आज के अंत का गम

क्या ये फिर वही शाम , जो कल भी आई थी ?
या वो शाम,जो फिर नही आएगी ...

Crux:
At times in life when we don't know we are right or not.
Life seems stuck, at a stand still in between of the past and the future.
The question arises, will there be joy and 'life' in the fast approaching future.

Wild guesses, I can make, sitting at the juncture, at the very same shaam of life

Dew drops on my eye lashes

फीकी वजह , धुधली सी पुरानी  यादें ।सिमटी ख्वाइशे और पिघलते सपने
हाँ , वजह, शायद वो एक वजह ;
कहीं किसी कोने में , दबी ही सही, पर साँस ज़रूर लेती है ।

Old reasons, dull thoughts, may be all too hazy to be felt,
the wishes,bundled up, now a rustic pile
But yes, reasons, or may be just one of them left
Left in self-created shackles of my heart, all tied
but still do breathe, do live, The One reason lives.

Shiny Darkness

Lonely roads are lovely

For sure they are,

But its the loveliness that fill up the heart

The love of just loving yourself

The smile that is just meant for your soul

Lonely moon, up there in my sky,

I know appears sad, no stars to befriend

But down there, in his heart, why I feel today

This is what he was destined to

The love in being lonely is what drives him tonight

The moon clocks the same pace,

Either with his stars or hanging up there alone.

Why do I need others to match the pace,

Why do I feel defeated being alone

So its not loneliness that kills us, everyone

Its the hearts way to feel he is alone

Its not being alone that is killing me,

Its the fear of being alone that sucks

Please my loneliness, falling in love with me, Again. 

Make me a part of your joy, show me your smiling self,

I too want to smile with you, want to stare in your eyes…

For IIM R…

What a life, a joy indeed

IIM it is, result of some nice deed

Where the life rocks, fun unplugging

No longer sitting dully and code debugging

Jokes apart, the roads are long

Life is a fun, but challenges prolong

Its not how you reach yr goals, milestones you embrace

All it matters is, what new ones u choose, and how you face

I've smelt the sweet, and bitter truths of life

I've tasted victories and failures all along those paths,

But now, I see a shining star, near the horizons

I feel the warm blood, pumping in my veins

The few things learnt, I'll do bring 'em in, a deal

"Life is a race" fr sure, but each of us running his own, I feel

IIM Rohtak, a head start from the rest, the crowd

We are here to learn, give our best, and make all proud

Numbness

I've stopped listening to my cuckoo bird,

the one that's there, from the day I fell in love

love: with life, its joys, its smiles and its sorrows of course

The cuckoo bird still comes, at times

sitting on the parched, deserted tree, the tree whole roots boasted life, once

The tree was green back then,

the bird's voice had the canny softness

My dreams were my life once,

My life, a dream worth living forever

For sure, I said, many a times, love is there in people's heart

For sure, I said, I'll find one, one day

Love; hah, They proved me wrong

Forget even life, found just bodies draped in gold

Who can teach 'em, gold needn't be lovely

lovely diamonds well nigh will be proved stones, in the end

The charm subdued in that missed morning rose

The charm that they just concealed,

or may be just never saw at all

Heart- Thread of life

There is not a single heart,
that misses no one,
and it beats, just to say
Hey you'll be remembered here, inside me, forever

You might be not there,
but these beats tonight,
the one I am holding in my chest
are a proof that yes you are held too close

Close enough that when the d-day will come
the last dawn of my life
when these breaths will have to stop, gasps may be harder
when eyes will blink for the last few moments

I'll pass on those same vibes
one I held too close to me
To someone subtle enough to care it
One who'll pass on to the other...

Then I'll fully complete the whole circle of life or at least my small part in this big circle of life, which keeps on moving as if forever. At least my small part

Martyr

Bang, and yes my Sepoy is down
my own blood, wasn't he ?
I cried a lot, haven't I ?
Me to be proud, or feel hurt, but fr sure,
he proved, he loved me back

Bang, few moments before the fatal bullet,
machine guns, roaring loud
artillery, filling the dusky cloud
And only once, the thought of her
went across in a wink, before he was dead

Bang, he saw his past,the moments that briskly ran away
Feet of his mother, yes he still feels the last touch, sigh
Those rosy cheeks of his daughter Miya, moist in the tears of 'bbye'
Eyes of a wife, no single blink, bidding adieu with a numb stare
Wanting to stop the time in that moment forever, she can't

Bang, and yes my Sepoy was down
died for whom ? Yes, my own people
Just to pass on few words
"I gave my everything for you";
"Please love my land, the way I do"

Fear and Care

Its cold, little moist in the murky darkness
just poured out, few sprinkles, thats all
I smelled the sand, each grain of it
seemed singing the same node, the node that binds us all.

The full moon of the night, half covered with clouds
As if hiding some secrets from me
Glides slowly behind the shades
Trees, all got a new puff of air to breath

Will it rain again, who knows
will the sand, the trees or the Air around
be joyous again, who knows
But I learnt 1 thing for sure...

Is the sand thinking of tomorrow's rain ?
I guess not.
Are the trees, birds sad , thinking they might dry the next moment ?
That too, I'm sure is a No

Then why do we cry, on the cost of happiness
How can the fear of tomorrow kill the joy of the day
Fear and Care ...
The words are rhyming, but fatal to mix-up with

Holy Love

God made the sun,

love gave it, the shine

God made the stars,

love made them twinkle

God made the red rose

love called it beautiful

God made the mountains

love said they are serene

God or a Devil

I see God in my love,

or is she really a God, itself !!!

The one you love, you make her god

the one who loves you back, makes you the god, right !!!

Humans can't be loved then, only gods can

If humans do; they can't hate at all,

And if they really can't,

They are the Gods, for sure

Love and God, Love or God

God is everything, he is everywhere,

Love is God, I know ... Love is nothing, it seems nowhere too

How can God be smaller than Love !!!

Or may be He is
