Jannat

Jhilmilatein shehroon mein ,

Rasta bhatak gaye !

Apni hi thi woh gali ,

Jane kab woh log anjaan ban gaye !

Kisi mukaam ki talaash mein nikle the hum….

Jane kaisi woh chahat thi….

Apnoon se humein door le gayi ,

Aisi bhi koi majboori thi!

Haasil kiya woh sab kuch ,

Jiski humesha se aas thi!

Par bichadkar apnoon se,

Jo paye who bekaar hai !

Door ho kar sabse ,

Jannat bhi kaantoon ki bahaar hai!

Aaghosh

Jab ulajhne lagi thi bahein,

Ghulne lagi  thi saansein,

Garm hue the jism,

Thandi raat mein !

Madhosh hue the badan ki khushboo mein ,

Jhukne lagi thi nazrein !

Labz khamosh ho gaye ,

Jo hontoon ko fursat na mila !

Duniya bhuladi un lamhoon mein humne,

Khudko kho diya !

Kuch pal ka tha who ehsaas ,

Magar laga aise ki …..

Aaghosh mein unke,

Saddiyaan ji liya!

Laal

Gulshan khili thi hatheli par,

Mehendi rang layi thi ….

Bahaar aaya tha baraat mein…

Khushiyaan cadhkar ghode par!

Bidai hoti dulhan ki ,

Bajtein Shehnai – Dhol….

Agar na chalta barood sarhad par,

Haath hotein peele…..

Safeed phool sehre ke,

Na dhultein khoon mein laal!

Zakhm

Dhak diya zakhmoon ko,

Par dard chupaya na jaye hai!

Batlane mein do minute lage hai,

Par badnaam who umr bhar ho jane hai!

Kehdein kaise aisa kuch bhi…..

Ki duniya unko thokar mare!

Kehdein unko zalim ,

Aur khudmein kaise saans bharein?!

Vachan diya hai sang rahenge,

Toh rishta hum nibhayenge!

Aansoo hi tohfein mein mile hai,

Toh hans-hans ke piyagenge !

Aaj nahi toh kal ho unko ,

Ehsaas humari chahat ka!

Shaayad woh dhundenge humko ,

Aur hum na honge sun ne ko!

Badnaam

Kisi badnaam gali se hum kaha guzra kartein the…..

Who toh ishq ka niyoota tha ,

Ki hum thukra na paye!

Bejaan

Di unhonein chot itni humein….
Jaise the hum bejaan !
Magar pathar ko bhi lagti hai chot ,
Baat yeh, woh jaan na paye!

Intezaar

Kisika itna tha intezaar ,

Ki rastein par hi thehar gaye !

Woh aayenge is umeed mein ,

Hum bhi ghar na gaye!

Dhaar

Unke talvaar ki dhaar parakhne ,

Who vaar hum par kartein rahe!

Dene unhein tasalli….

Khoon hum bhi bahatein rahe!

Fitrat

Behna Fitrat mein ho Saagar ke…
Toh koi usko kya roke?!
Humse keh diya Muhobbat na karo….
Magar hum apni ragoon ko kaise roke?!

Ishq

Dar- Dar bhataktein rahe…. Dhoondtein usko,

Jo tha nahi uski talaash thi humko!

Kya hai yeh ishq….. Hum samajh na paye!

Ki unhonein  nigahoon mein  humein basaya,

Aur hum ashq banke beh gaye!

Kasauti

Hum kinare par thehar gaye..

Unke intezaar mein!

Kashti aankhon ke saamne se guzri!

Woh savaar the usmein….

Jis se hum bekhabar reh gaye!

Har baar dhoka hua nigahoon se,

Thi woh daraar….

Jise kasauti samajhkar hum bichad gaye!

Without You

Singing down the song of solitude,

Generous with my fate’s fortune,

Things around never caused concern!

I knew my destination….

& I kept moving on!

I knew where I had to be,

With the path always split,

I some how used to find my way…

Though bit by bit!

One fine morning,

I woke up to see….

I had everything.

That I was longing for,

Yet not complete!

There was a part in the whole,

Which was mislaid!

For I didn’t have U with me,

In every accomplishment of mine,

The glory of my success, miss the silver lining!

Let me fly!

May be I’m too young to step out & explore the world around,

But how am’I to know my limits…

Until You don’t let me fly!

The place I wish to flee may be unknown,strange

But let me discover it myself,

For me to know the flavours it has to offer!

For once let me put my mind aside & follow my heart,

As I remember your words,”Opportunity never knocks twice”!

 Allow me to make my call…

At the least I won’t blame anyone, if that was a fault!

Knowing your concern towards me…

I assure…. I’ll take care!

The path I intend to take may be distracting…

But I know my way back, if I ever find it not securing!

But before that, I want you to have faith in me…

That I won’t change from what I’m…

I would remain the same,  what so ever it be!

Don’t forbid me from trailing  my dreams…

Let me go ahead , if you wish me to be complete!

Jhalak

Nami aankhon mein hoti hai….

Jab kami tumhari mehsoos hoti hai!

Bheed mein ho jatein hai hum tanhaa…

Yaad tumhari kuch is tarah aati hai!

Us pal mein hum zinda na the…

Jis mein tumhein na socha!

Dharti thami thi un lamhoon mein…

Jab humne tumhe na dekha!

Tadap rahe the hum mar kar bhi..

Tumhari ek jhalak ke liye!

Nazar aaye tum aakhir humein…

Humari kabr mein!

Success

A new dream each day,

A new milestone set my way,

Couldn’t resist the call of passion …

I had to move further on!

Didn’t be set to leave you behind,

But I couldn’t find you around!

I turned behind searching for you at every phase,

Wishing you would be guarding my pace!

I was sure of trailing the right path,

But wondered why I was abandoned though!

Life turned  as bright it could be but not fulfilling yet…

For not even the shadow of yours accompanied me,

I couldn’t see the colors of my success shining!

Tanhaayi

Hum paas tumhare na reh paye…

Toh khud se door na karna!

Jo ho koi pareshaani,

Toh yaad humein karna,

Degi zindagi hazaar dukh..

Jab hoge tum aakele!

Par karna bagaavat tum bhi…

Ki, hai koi saath tumhare,

Tanha tum itne bhi na reh gaye ho….

Ki woh tumhare tanhaayi ke saath bhi khelein!

I couldn’t express!

How much you meant to me…

I couldn’t express!

Feelings of mine,

I was forced to  supress!

Everytime I didn’t have  you around,

I went breathless!

It wasn’t easy for me,

To let you go…

But I had no choice to opt,

When destiny turned to be my foe!

Nothing was in my hands..

I hope you could understand!

I left a shade of myself….

When I left you behind!

Sauda!

Kismat ka faisla humein manzoor na tha,

Par hum aitraaz bayaan na kar paye!

Sanam se bewafai karne ka irrada nahi tha humara,

Magar halatoon se kiya sauda….

Hum tod na paye!

Kash koi hota!

Kash koi hota,

Humara bhi apna!

Kandhoon pe jiske sir rakh ke,

Bhuladein hum duniya!

Kash koi hota,

Jiski yaad dilayein humein tanhaayiyan!

Kash koi hota,

Aanchal mein jiske…

Yaad aaye maa ki loriyaan!

Kash koi hota,

Jiski kami na khati humein,

Jiske na hone pe chayein mayyusiyan!

Kash koi hota,

Jo hota jine ki vajah!

Kash koi hota

Jiske bina jeena,

Lagta humein saza!

The faithful

I was neither unfaithful,

Nor had I lied!

It was only a misconception that we shared!

I was there with you in every walk of life…

You failed to recognize me,

In my true fair!

I could feel,

I could sense…

The emotions in your vein!

I wanted to stand by you and console,

But all my attempts went in vain!

The mistak was in the rapport we shared!

I was neither unfaithful,

Nor had I lied!

Saya!

Nigaahoon mein unke,

Hum yun doobein the…

Ki ubhar na paye!

Nasha unki chahat ka,

Jo yun cadha tha…

Hum utaar na paye!

Dil jo dhadakne laga tha unke liye,

Hum dhadkanein  rok na paye!

Har saans mein,

Jo aane laga tha unka ehsaas,

Hum sambhaal na paye!

Lakh ki humne koshish,

Khud ko bas mein rakh ne ki!

Kaise hota yeh munkin?!

Jo saye ko bhi humare,

Humne unke naam paya!

Mukaam!

Har mukaam ko thukradein hum,

Agar aap sang na ho!

Rukhi pad jaye zindagi,

Jo saath aapka naseeb na ho!

Jee rahein hai hum is vajah se,

Ki, mar gaye toh aapse mil na sakenge!

Muhobbat kartein hai aapse yun,

Ki, chah kar bhi aapse nafrat kar na sakenge!

Laut aoo…

Yaadein ubhar aati hai,

Din dhaltein hi!

Khwaab savarne lagtein hai,

Palkein jhuktein hi!

Saavan barasta hai aankhoon se,

Dooriyoon ke dauraan!

Diye bujhtein hai chiraag mein,

Jo ho kareebiyoon ki kami!

Par kartein hai intezaar,

Yeh sochkar hum…

Ki, lautenge woh kabhi toh!

Aakhir suraj nikalta hi hai subah ko,

Agar raah mein uske baadal ho  bhi toh!

Rishta

Lamhein bitaye unke saath,

Unko sambhala hum karenge!

Har nishaani unki,

Savaara hum karenge!

Rishta humara aisa hai….

Ki, jo toota toh,

Aankein nahi dil roya karenge!

Jaam…..

Ghulaam hai hum us jaam ke,

Jo  nasha…. bewafa ishq ka bhulata hai!

Bulatein hai log saki use,

Dava jise hum maantein hai!

Pyaas badti hai har ghoont se,

Jane kya rishta hai us paimaane se!

Hum banjaye sharabi,

Icha nahi thi humari!

Par muhobbat ke mare,

Aur banke kya nikle… Maikhane se?!

Rastein

Jaha ishq ki hawa nahi chalti thi,

Jeete the un baghoon mein!

Jaha vafa mehka nahi karti thi,

Rehte the  un fizaoon mein!

Berang the woh rastein,

Rukhi har gali!

Mili woh khushboo muhobbat ki un rahoon mein,

Jaha se aap the guzrein!

Jab se payi woh jhalak aapki,

Jeene lage hai bahaaron mein !

I live for You

I sit up all night in front of you,

Though I know I need not guard you!

I wake up to the dawn,

Not to see the raising sun!

But to catch a glimpse of you!

I move to the garden,

Not for the feel of the dew!

But to wish you morning with flowers of hues!

I walk up to the hill,

Though scared of heights,

To fetch your beloved berries!

I spend my day cherishing the moments I spent with you!

& at dusk I await your arrival….

Just so that I can tell, how much I missed you!

I live, not coz I wish to live…..

But until I live, I can live with you!

 

Gunah

Gunah woh hota hi nahi,

Jise koi anjaane mein karde!

Par muhobbat ki nishaani woh hota hai……

Jo yaar ki har galti par, parda dhakde!

Jiya humne…..

Aap saath the jub,

Jiya humne sirf tab tha!

Kehne ko toh hum saans lete hai,

Dil dhadak ta hai har baar,

Magar jinda hone ka yakeen hota hai humein,

Sirf tab, jab hote hai aap humare nazdeek har baar!

Mausam

Phir na hui woh shyaam,

Phir na aayi ruth,

Phir na chaya woh sama,

Jo tum gaye….

Gaya woh bahaar umr ka!

Jo tum na laute….

Lauta na mausam pyaar ka!

Muhobbat

Na Chahat thi , na guzaarish,

Na shikve, shikaayat!

Muhobbat ki thi woh rahein,

Jannat thi manzil!

Kauf bhi ghabra jaye…

Thi woh himmat!

Bas chalna tha humein,

Aage hum badtein rahein!

Kaantein thi ya gulshan,

Khabar hum na rakhne lage!

Ghis gayi parchayi humari…

Par hum na mitne lage!

Saya jo tha unka sang humare….

Hum aag mein khilne lage!

Sahara

Kaha zamane ne humse, “Bhulado use!”

“ Ayenge tumhare kal mein, aur bhi saverein!”

Ho shyaad aisa hi….

Ghatenge baadal, chaayegi roshni!

Andhere ka hoga ant kahi!

Magar bhulakar unhein,

Hum kaha honge…

Dekhne woh baharein!

Jo woh na rahein yaad…

Jiyenge hum kiske sahare?!

My experiments!

I’m just back from a roller coaster ride & trust me I did have some great & safe fun! Oooops… hope people don’t take it otherwise!

Chance taking, Risky decisions, tossing the priorities have become a part of my routine. I took a huge risk this time. Huger to me @least if not to anybody else concerned! I planned, I scheduled, I kept it all organized! But life always has surprises in store for you. Sometimes pleasant & sometimes not so……… pleasant.

This I believe is the time for me to experiment. Experiment with myself, discover my abilities, learn my limits, and realize things which I’m at my best! A few years down the line when I look back & try to see what I used to do with myself, I wouldn’t like it to be a blank & boring canvas on which I only kept trying to spread the colour all the while but never found the pallet & brush or even the colors itself for it!

This step was one such effort to colour the canvas of my life!

I being a disciplined student extremely concerned with my academics, my marks, my score, my aggregate this time took a chance over all of them. Yes I tossed them all for something which seemed bigger to me. I drew it all apart to trail my passion. A performance @ a place which is the best of its kind couldn’t fail in tempting me enough to pursue it. & I made my decision to take it ahead & made up my mind to skip my exams which almost clashed with the dates. But somewhere there seemed  a ray, a chance for me to balance both of it so well, which was almost like dancing on the tip of an about to burst wall of a volcano.

Finishing my performance at the legendry stage of  the Prithvi theatre,  on the night before the exam & taking a midnight flight to cover a distance of thousand kilometers to appear for an exam which was on the next morning was my simple & planned schedule. The performance was up to the mark, well acclaimed, well received & contenting! & that was only the beginning of my ride; I went on a small celebration with my team & then rushed to the airport. It was all fine till the flight took off on time & with me slipping the pages of my syllabus which I had to vomit in the next few hours. Things seemed so clean & neat that I had begun to feel proud of myself for having taken such a risky step & was all confident in succeeding in it. But as they say… “Pride goes before a fall”! It proved true in my case & it was an hour after the time that I must have landed that I was still bonded with the seat belt of the aircraft! I literally sunk in it & unknowing of what to do next… I straight away went in & started banging the cockpit door. The surprised captain was kind enough to understand my anxiety but was in a helpless situation like me. He couldn’t land the flight owing to fog covering more than the prescribed height & hence not being permitted to take it down.

I felt cursed, helpless, bonded & started feeling sick. Wish I could fly & I would have landed myself right on the roof of my exam hall. I noticed the time & realized my classmates would have already started racing against the time with their pens & answer scripts & there I was stuck somewhere in the sky, just hoping that the time would freeze until I reached my destination. I prayed to all the gods in the sky to come to my rescue, Kept nagging the pilot pointlessly, Was imagining all the weird things possible like postponement of the exam, the question papers gone missing, some undue delay in the exam owing to some heavenly reason. But all in vain! There seemed nothing @ all which could help me prevent what had to occur. I finally landed @ the time which was past half an hour after the commencement of the exam & also the last minute for admission to the exam hall. But being an optimistic person I still made it a point to reach the venue to try my luck. When I reached there was an hour left for the last bell to ring. & I rushed to the Dean’s office to see if my good contacts with him would do me any favour. But all in vain! It was quite illogical to even assume that the Dean of a Law College would himself break the law. But I never loose hope! & that was my last & only hope. I was heavily disappointed & frustrated. My friends, who caught a glimpse of mine, couldn’t recognize me with my costume, make up & hair do still on. I had neither the voice nor the energy to convince the dean & he seemed very adamant on his rules. I rode back home with a feeling of guilt & frustration. But luckily got support from my family which helped me recover. Then I slept for the rest of the day like a log. Not sure if I really slept or if that was a way for me to escape the consciousness of the frustration. But I just slept & slept. I gave the last exam the following morning & flew back for a performance at National Centre for Performing Arts (NCPA) , another acclaimed auditorium. 

 

Yes, with all this I missed an exam and also a probable gold medal from the university owing to things which were not in my control. But I don’t regret it. Not because it serves no purpose at the moment or it justifies my decision but just for the reason that I followed my heart & the risk I took was all worth it! Getting an opportunity to perform on the stages that I did is the dream stage of any actor & realizing my passion towards it, I believe the toss I made was worth the wager.

May be I’m no more in the rat race of toppers in my class, May be I’m no more a competitor to anybody with the aggregate anymore but I have found a competitor in myself. I have entered into a competition with my own performances. & I try to make it better with the each new performance & embarrass the earlier one. & that is what contends me. Contends me to an extent that no one else stands in that line of competition that I take part in. I have the challenge of defeating nothing but my best. & I hope to go a long way on it!

 

Reasons Unknown

We came close for reasons unknown…

We drifted apart for reasons unknown…

Aura felt while together was genuine,

Moments of warmth tranquil & clean!

I couldn’t like anyone the way I liked you once

I loved you the way no one could ever dare such

Turning back I try to outline the reason for our fall,

& there is absolutely nothing to blame it all !

The special bond of ours loosened for no great cause!

Nothing provoked us to break the tie,

Our tiff went on with love @ loss !

All I remember about our relationship is that …

We came close for reasons unknown,

We drifted apart for reasons unknown !

A broken heart

Its a broken heart,

With no more walls to crack!

Every corner hurt like it was jammed in a crash…

Pain ascendig with every beat,

Bled each time the blood pumped!

Frustrated,deceived &  Betrayed….

Couldn’t afford to trust anyone further!

For when it surrendered itself once,

All it got in return was its broken shell!

Wish……

Wish there were no barriers between us…. seen or unseen

Wish I could tell you that I fall for you each time I look into your eyes!

Wish I could ever convey to you how much you mean to me…..

Wish things that brought us close could never perish….

Wish the boulevard on which we took a walk never had an end!

Wish the time when we were together could be froze!

Wish those roses you brought for me never had to wither!

Wish the series of letters we wrote never got lost!

Wish like the fairy tales our story could have a happy ending!

Wish I had a lilttle longer life…

Wish I had a few more moments to spare….

I know its unfair to leave you alone but its not my wish to go….

Wish I could hold my breath until I could see you glow!

Bardaash!

Kiya nahi kabhi shikaayat unse….
Har harqat bardaash karte rahe!
Woh vaar karte rahe seene par…..
Jise hum unke ishq ka andaaz samajhtein rahe!

Nazdeekiyaan!

Saansein tham si gayi thi un nazdeekiyoon mein,
Dhadkanoon ne chod diya tha saath,
Nazrein unke siva kuch deekh na rahi thi,
Hue the hum beetab!
Kareeb the woh itne....
Ki, unki aankhein bani thi humara aayina!
Hum kho se gaye the unmein,
Aur chupne lagi thi parchayiyaan!
Mehek rahi thi hawaein,
Khamosh the jubaan!
Pighal raha tha suraj,
Jub doobe hum un bahoon ki jahaan!

Bewafa

Gham na kartein hum kabhi,
Agar unhein humse ishq na hota!
Kum se kum aaj humein,
Dil ke tukdein sameetna na padta!

Hadd

Sarhaddon ka humein ehsaas nahi….
Magar…. kuch haddein paar humne bhi ki hai!
Muhobbat mein kuch pal,
Humne bhi jee hai!

I’m no Disabled!

Today, I met a very special man. I call him special not for any medical reasons but only for his gutts, vision & courage to have stood out of the crowd! He is a lawyer who has a specialization in Human Rights! An extremely knowledgable & a down to earth soul.Now I know that s nothing unusuall & there are lakhs of lawyers across the globe who have done it.But all of those are not Mr. Riku Virtanen ,the world’s first deaf-blind lawyer. Who is also the world’s first deaf-blind lawyer to have a specialization in Human Rights!

Where disability is considered to be a bane & barricade, Mr.Riku succeeds in proving it to be a myth by setting up a living example of his own.Not to mention he has faced a lot of challenges owing to his diabilities but has still managed to carve a distinguished place for himself in the society which many well doing people fail to accomplish.

Here comes his profile:

He is a Board member in the Threshold Association (a human rights organisation which promotes the rights of persons with disabilities in Finland). He is a Consultant Member of the Board in the Finnish Deaf blind Association and has worked on several reports and surveys in Finnish and published a survey in English relating to CRPD, in May 2008. In addition, he was following two Ad Hoc meetings in New York when the United Nations was preparing the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.

I dedicate this poem all those people who are a little under privilaged than the rest of us! They arn’t people who are realizing the punishments for the sins committed in their previous incarnations. They are one among us who were unlucky to have a little imbalanced body or mind. All they expect from us is a little bit of concern & care, which as humans, we are expected to have inheritted !

I’m no different from any of you,
Not peculiar in any possible way!
You might have all your senses functioning well,
But remember… No one is perfect, anyway!
I might have no vision,
But I can feel when you drift away!
My limbs might be crippled,
But your heart is cripped no better to me!
I have a hard ear,
But I see your lips stressing my way!
You call me disabled or special…
But I’m as normal as any of you can be!
I do not wish for your sympathy or pity…
All I crave from you is a curve on your face for me
& a carring hand if you could lend,
When I’m unable to stand on my own!
I’m no different from any of you,
Not peculiar in any possible way!

I feel Guilty!

The feeling that comes to you when you loose a loved one in your own hands is terrible. I might not be the reason for its injury but I feel guilty for being unable to prevent its death! All the passion and compassion I had for it could make me do nothing to save  it,when it was endangered. I feel guilty for having not been successful to come over the helpless situation. I feel guilty for I could do nothing at all to save a  life! I feel like a killer!

I havn’t been able to rest my mind nor have I been able to intake a breath of peace since the sunday afternoon.It was just another weekend to me when I would wake up only until I couldn’t lie down anymore.I would catch up with all the weekend nonsense on my t.v set. Read up every word in the magazine section of the news paper. Toss over the diet I had worked on the entire week. This was one such typical sunday noon for me until I heard my name being screamed out on the road.I rushed to my balcony, & saw my cousin ’s wife standing down there, she told me that my cousin encountered a wounded snake & he is taking it to the vet to get it treated.She was yet to finish her sentence when I slipped into my shoes & ran upto their house a few lanes away.

Snakes to me have always been extremely fascinating creatures.I don’t know about any other animal which can adopt so many tecjniques @ once to get the neck of its prey!It pounces,squeezes,poisons & paralyses its prey.Its abilities, skills & unpredictable nature has always left me amused. Me & my cousin are both  big time fan of snakes & try to do our best for their conservation. When ever there is a snake in our neighbourhood & if people are unable to reach the proffessional snake catchers & conservationists, they do know whom to call & we are always readilly available for the task.

When I reached there panting,I saw  my cousin was holding a white bag in his hand, obviously with the wounded snake in it. He told me he saw a man blowing the snake with a bamboo & he had hurted it enough before he reached the spot. However, he managed to stop the violence & it took some effort to get the injured & aggigated snake into the bag. We rushed to the local Vet care unit on our toes. But that unit was closed just a few weeks before for what so ever reasons. We decided to ride to the Veternary Hospital which was around 4 kms away. But someone infromed that its unofficially closed on Sundays & the Vets usually are off & the only people we could find there could possibily be the assistants and none of us were sure if they would be trained enough to treat reptiles. We made a hundred calls to find out if we could get soem help from anywhere possible. But nothing seemed to come our way.  The creeping crawlie had already bled enough & we knew we didn’t have time for further travel & find outs! We barged into a chemist & got antibiotics for it to stop the bleeding and also a few pain killing injections. We rushed to the huge campus of the Agricultural University a half a kilometer away, which is almost a little forest around and our usual place where we release the snakes we save.

 But this time, the place was meant for an eternal release. We made plans to tame the snake to inject the medicines to it all our way, only to realize that it required no tamming any  more. That beautiful male cobra with a wheetish complexion & beautifully structured scales over it had had its last breath by then.When we held it up side down, a blott of blood fell from its mouth. Which meant it had bled internally & externally it had such a damage, that a quarter of its skin was peeled and the blood was almost dripping from the bag. It was a terrible situation. We didn’t have the heart to abandon its lifeless body around. And so we gathered some firewood from the forest & cremated it. It was awful to see the layers of its skin peeling off while it was ablaze. The picture of it is still so fresh in my mind that I’m unable to light the stove in my kitchen. The impact of the incident has been so deep on me that I’m still unable to latch my eye lids for long.

Snakes arn’t our enemies. They are dangerous only when you mess up with them.They might seem frightfull but trust me their implications on the bio- system is tremendous. In a country like ours where we encounter accute food shortage & one of the reasons to them is the spoilage of food by rats & other species…snakes contribute a ton in diminishing their generation & inturn help @least save a few loafs of bread which could save someone’s life!After all, nature has created each one its creation for a reason.

Next time you encounter  a snake , don’t panic & hurt it.It gets as scared as you when you are around it, as you get when you see it around.Call a local snake conservationist & ensure that he releases the snake in a suitable habitat for it. Snakes  might not be someone you care for. But remember, its also a living creature like you are.& It feels the same pain  when you hurt it , like when you do when you are injured.Remember that even it is trying to defend itself from you,like the way you are from it.But what you both fail to understand is that,none of you are purposeful threats to each other. Now it would be dumb to expect  the snake to understand that & since we are known to be the smartest species on earth, we better act that way and deal with other living species in a peaceful way!

Jurmaana

Har gunah ki hoti hai saza,

Yun suna hai humne!

Humne toh kiya hai ishq,

Is khata ka jurmaana……

Koi bataye humein!

Tammanna

Jis chahat ke khatir thukraya humne jahaan,

Woh chan lamhoon ka tha mehmaan!

Kuch pal hi sahi…..

Naseeb hui woh bahaar,

Zindagi mein aur koi nahi tammanna!

Jaayaz

Agar na karte ishq hum…..

Toh shaayad na samjahtein zamane ka daayra!

Yahaan saans bhi leni padti hai ijaazat par,

Phir hum ne toh jee hai aadhi umr naajaayaz bankar!

Choice

You may never realize my worth so far I’m with you…

Abandoning you would take a   moment I choose,

But don’t have the heart to desert you….

Knowing you wouldn’t be able to handle solitude!

A new world to me is not even  a mile away,

Set of new friends are just at a distance of a curve on my face!

But I wouldn’t step towards them,

As it would make you feel insecure!

Realizing the potential in me,

I can  carve a niche for myself!

But only wouldn’t kinet it….

Coz it would take away all the attention you deserve from me!

There are some  waiting to come closer to me….

But I wouldn’t let them build the difference between us !

Its a matter of  time that would prove you to be the one for me,

Give it a thought if you would choose that to be!

Woh Pal…..

Woh bhi ek zamana tha…

Ki hum tub mila kartein the!

Har shyaam sajti thi mehfil,

Mulaqaat kuch yun hoti thi!

Hathoon se haath chootein na the,

Nigahoon se nazrein hati na thi!

Kareebiyaan kuch yun hoti thi ….

Ki  jhonke ko guzarne ka rasta na milta !

Har cheez se lagaav ho jata,

Tinke par bhi taras aata !

Jub  sab kuch lagta tha suhana!

Hum  aaj bhi un hathoon ki narmi ko dhoondte hi rehtein hai….

Phir us mehfil ki talaash mein bhatakte hi rehtein hai….

Par najane kaha reh gaya woh padhaav ,

Najane kab chod aaye hum uski chaav,

Woh bhi ek zamaana tha ……

Ki tub hum mila kartein the……

Muhobbat ke pal zinda hua kartein the!

Phir na aaye

Aankhein thak gayi thi andhere mein,

Roshni ki thi pyaas!

Tanhaayi ne yun ghera tha ,

Ki parchaayi ki thi talaash!

Ghutan hoti hai khuli hawa mein bhi,

Sukh mein bhi hum bechain!

Moujood hokar bhi na rehte haazir …..

Yun bani hai pehchaan!

Ishq mein unke kya khoya hai….

Kaise kare bayaan?!

Kuch cheezein phir laut bhi aaye,

Par na phir kisi aur par……

Na dil aaye…. Na jaan!

Kartoot

Jis nazaaqat se woh humse peesh aaye,

Hum unke deewane ban gaye!

Is kadar assar hua hai unka humpar,

Ki khudse begaane ban gaye!

Har ada unki yun bha jati,

Woh  humare sartaaj ban gaye!

Un harqatoon ki aaddat si ho gayi hume,

Har sharraarat se muhobbat!

Lute unke kartootoon  se ,

Magar unka kya dosh usmein?!

Hum bhi toh tayaar rahe…..

Us nashe mein bikne ke liye!

Huqm

Ginte bhi kaise un boondoon ko?!

Jo aansoo ke dhar beh gaye!

Hisaab rakh bhi letein us waqt ka….

Agar tolkar muhobbat karna aata humein!

Woh chod gaye is baat se  zyaada….

Woh yaadein takleef deti hai humein!

Woh wafa ke vaadein na karte,

Toh bewafai se shikaayat na hoti!

Dil se chaha tha unhein,

Har huqm ko saraha!

Jo ki unhone guzaarish judai ki,

Hum kareeb unke rehte bhi kaise?!

Its incomplete….

I see that ocean of passion in your eyes,

But I fear to look into them…

As the depth in it could make me drown!

The feeling of love never came so strong in me before I met you!

It was you who invoked,provoked & instigated

That sensitiveness into my soul!

& now when you have to depart……

I try with all the strength in my mind & soul to drive you away!

But then I realize how inevitable you are…

As this you in me is what makes me complete!

& If I succeed in making you move out of me…..

I’m out of myself!

Ghar….

Har raat banati hoon  mein  ghar apna,
Jod kar un taroon ko!
Us raunak mein kho jati hoon….
Raat cut hi jaati hai us chamak mein!
Chaand aur chandini ki hifaazat mein!
Par jub ubharta hai suraj ,
Ghar mera gum ho jata hai!
Mit jati hai uski lakeerein !
Gumnaam darwazein aur daayrein !
Par din dhaltein hi….
Phir sara aasmaan banta hai aangan mera,
Aur mein phir  basau  usmein basera!
Najanu mein,  agar wohi tarein bantein hai har raat mere ghar ke eent
Khair par chamaktein hai inse mere ghar ki dehleez!

Kismat!

Woh khushi kaisi khushi humare liye,

Jisme shyaamil woh na ho!

Woh ghadiyaan jisme woh sath na the,

Humari zindagi ka hissa nahi!

Tarse hai hum unke pyaar ke liye jub….

Woh waqt qayaamat se badhkar rahi!

Jo ishq kiya tha unse,

Khabar nahi , woh uske kaabil bhi the!

Par jo na mili woh muhobbat humein…..

Kismat mein humari sifar zaroor rahi!

Qayaamat

Kehte hai qayaamat woh cheez hai…

Jo bahe… toh, roke na ruke!

Aansoo humare bhi unse kum nahi….

Behne lage toh samandar sukhe!

Daman

Kis jubaan se keh de hum….

Ki humein unse ishq nahi!

Auroon ko dhokha de bhi de….

Magar apni parchayi se kaise daman bachaye?!

Karz

Kitne hi ghum kyun na de zindagi humein,

Aakhir karz hai uska hum par !

Ki jo hai ehsaan usne, tumhein dekar…..

Humein  ada use karna hi hai, umr bhar!

Tukdein

Khel kar aag se…

Jalne se koi kaise bache ?!

Aur karke ishq…

Koi dil ke tukde kaise na sametein ?!

Keh dete

Saath na chal paye, toh gila nahi

Sang toh humasha rahe!

Pyaar ka izhaar labzoon se na kiya …

Magar isharoon ki kami kabhi na rahi!

Par agar keh dete ek baar bhi,

Toh zindagi kuch aur rangeen ban jata!

Jis muhobbat ki aas thi,

Uska aana aur sangeen ban jata!

Apne

Aksar apnoon ko hi….

 Humse door jana padta hai!

Aur kuch log roz mile…

Toh bhi unse rishta ban nahi pata hai!

Woh mile toh….

Haath humare chutein bhi kaise,

Jo hum bahoon mein unke lipte ho!

Jannat ke daayrein  bhool gaye hum,

Us bandish mein saans liya jo!

Khwahish kisi cheez ke liye jaise ab bacha hi na tha!

Maqsat humara jaise aaghosh mein tha!

Khuda ka itna shuqr ada kiya,

Mano zindagi mein koi kami nahi!

Jaise hi hua yakeen ki woh humare hai….

Khudke liye kabhi kuch aur manga hi nahi!

Ghadiyaan

Kuch kamzoor ghadiyaan woh hoti hai,

Jo saath tod kar jaati hai !

Kuch beech sadak mein aatein hai,

Kuch manzil par mil jatein hai!

Faanslein

Hum ghabratein hai un nazdeekiyoon se,

Jo humein aapse ek kardein !

Dar lagta hai us chahat se,

Jise hum na khodein !

Khudko door rakhenge aapse,

Jitna humse ho sake!

Aap toh jayenge humse bichadke ek din….

Kareeb itne bhi na aajaye aapke,

Ki kal faansloon mein jee na sake!

Paimaana

Har kisi ke paimaane mein….

Hoti hai jaam!

Koi peejata hai!

Toh koi jee jata hai!

Toofaan

Us toofaan ki kya ho pehchaan….

Jo tabahi na machadein!

Jaise koi muhobbat ki aad mein…..

Khudko na mitadein!

Kahi unkahi…..

Mehek humari kheenchti hai unhein paas humare,

Ya hum mehek jatein hai unko kareeb lane!

Hum khiltein hai jiski khushi ke liye,

Woh ijaazat mangne lage humein chumne ke liye !

Woh sochtein hai…..

Woh suna kar jatein hai humein….

Magar humare hone ka matlab kya banta hai ?!

Agar hum unhein khali haath lautne de !

De kar apna sab kuch unhein ,

Hum shaayad apna ras kho baithe…..

Magar khushi hai is baat ki…

Ki, pilane jaam unhein….

Pyala humare honth ban baithe!

Udhaar

Udhaar mein khushi agar milti ,

Toh hum unke liye le latein !

Khatir unke,

Khudko kuch deer girvi hi rakh detein!

Hum bhi chale aatein

Milne unse hum bhi saari hadein paar kar detein ,

Jaise baadal aaye dharti se milne ….

Khudko boondh barsatein!

 

Takrajatein bijli se ….

Chur-Chur ho jatein !

Pighal kar hi sahi ,

Phir bhi milne chale aatein!

 

Neel gagan mein chaltein the pehle…

Par ab kismat khudki na jaane !

Shaayad woh saagar mein behlein ,

Ya mitti mein mil jaye!

Bas kood gaye unnchayi se, unko gale lagane….

 

Seench kar khudko hum bhi aatein,

Bas unse Ek pal batlane….

Jo ho aage….. hone dein

Hum un mein sama jaye!

Chehra

Arsoo beet gaye use dekhe,

Par dhundhli si yaad us chehre ki ….Ab bhi hai!

Kisi purane , naye shakal se mile..

Toh us mein usko talashtein Ab bhi hai !
