Zindagi main gum hai
Gum main dard hai
Dard main maza hai
Or mazy main hum hain…
Kaisy keh dun? “Khatm Kahaani!”
Naa tu RAJA naa main RAANI.
Kaisy Keh dun Khatam kahaani.
Aadhy rasty main naa chorun,
Aisi mainy kasam hai thaani.
Kaisy Keh dun Khatam kahaani.
Maana khafaa huy ho humsey,
Maana khafaa kiya bhi humney.
Shikwon main na umr baitaani,
Kaisy Keh dun Khatam kahaani.
Arsaa hua nahi hun soyi,
Soch tumhey main aadhi hoyi
Meri lori tumhaari baani,
Kaisy Keh dun Khatam kahaani.
Sun leti jo pal bhar tumko,
Tak leti jo ek pal tumko.
So leti main raat suhaani.
Kaisy Keh dun Khatam kahaani.
Naa tu RAJA naa main RAANI.
Kaisy Keh dun Khatam kahaani.
Twisted Logic
Main Ab vida leta hun
One of the best poets I have read in Indian poetry is “Awtar Singh Sandhu : PAASH”. He was a freedom fighter poet, which means he wrote aggressive poetry. Whats really good about him is that he was not only good at erupting anger for injustice but was also a very good love poet.
Here is one of his few love poems. This one is close to my heart.
Seize the Day
If you listen real close,
You can hear them whisper their legacy to you.
Go on, lean in.
Listen,
You hear it?
” Seize the day while you still can.
Coz believe it or not,
The day will come and,
Each and every one of us,
Are going to stop breathing,
Turn cold and die! “
So go ahead and seize the day.
Make your life Extraordinary.
How Love Works
“You find Love when you Least expect to,
and lose it when you are sure that its in your grasp.”
Words
Imagine a World…
Where Every single word that you speak,
Appears on your skin.
Would you still not be careful of what you speak?
Khwaab
Jaage Hain Dair Tak Hamain
Kuch Dair Sony Do,
Thodi Si Raat Aur Hai
Subahaa Toh Hony Do.
Aadhy Adhoory Khawaab Jo
Poory Na Ho Saky,
Ek Baar Phir Se Neend Main
Woh Khawaab Bony Do.
Alvidaa
Mehsus kar
Meri fitrat main nahi apna gum bayaan karnaa
Agar rooh ka hissa hai to mehsus kar taqlef meri
The change
A month ago everything was diffrent and now that I look back I realize a month can do a lot to our lives…
Just when you think everything has fallen into the right place and you have figured out your life, it changes all over again and left you wonder,”What just happend?”.
Actuly things don’t change suddenly. Change is gradual. Its just that your heart didnt allow you to realize what your mind could see, was changing with time.
With every minute, every action, every spoken word. Life was changing.
People were changing.
Situations were changing.
LOVE was fading and your heart kept you blind from these changes and made you believe into ‘Love is fine, its with us.”
Storm’s question
Once a storm came and asked, “What if I strike you and ruin your life?”
“What possibly could you do to save your life from my wrath?” I smiled and remained silent.
Storm got angry and asked, “Why smiling?”
I, with a smile on my face, responded, “You are late.”
Curse
Trust and promise go hand in hand
Promise
Sometimes
Tere bin
Tere bin kya hai zindagi,
Tum kya jaano jaany-wafaa.
Kahe Kya Sun Zara,
Aati Jaati Saanson Ki Sadaa.
Aa Bhi Jaa, Aa Bhi Jaa,
Sabr Ka naa Le Yun Imtehaan.
Love sees no limit
Love knows no limit to it’s endurance,
No end of it’s trust,
No fading of it’s hope;
It can outlast anything.
Love still stands when all else has fallen.
But that’s Love
And I am an ordinary man.
I have limits
Limits to keep mum
Limits to force love
Limits to wait
To hope to trust
To LOVE 😦
I miss you
I miss the sound of your voice
I miss the rush of your skin
I miss the still of your silence
I miss the smell of your body
I miss the smile on your face
I miss the talks of long nights
I miss the sarcasm you thought you played well
I miss that authority over me
I miss the taste of your lips
I miss the kiss on cheeks
I miss the hugs full of warmth
I miss those lonely nights
I miss that everything
I miss YOU
Yaad
Raah main roshni ne hai kyun saath chora?
Is taraf shaam ne hai kyun apnaa muh moda?
Kyu har subeh ek beraham si raat ban gayi?
Kyu tum bas ek yaad ban gayi?
Sirf ek yaad ban gayi…
Ajnabi se huy hain pal kyu saary?
Nazar se nazar ye milaaty hi nahi.
Ek ghani khaamoshi si chaa rahi hai,
Manzily raaston main hi gum hony lagi.
Reh gayi har dua ab meri ansuni,
Reh gayi meri kahaani ankahi.
Just a thought
If you are not an Empath,
You can’t write Poems…!
Zindagi
Halki phulki si hai zindagi,
Bojh to khwahishon ka hai.
Badi seedhi si hai zindagi,
Uljhany to taqraaron ki hain.
Ek pal ko hassen lagti hai,
Dujy hi pal rula deti hai.
Zindagi badi baigairat hai,
Lamhon main badal jaati hai.
Dikhaakar sapny haseen ye,
Ujaaly cheen le jaati hai.
Jab jab hasnaa chaahta hun,
Aansuyon se saraabor kar deti hai.
Jaany kya chaahti hai ye zindagi,
Jeeny bhi nahi deti usky saath,
Or marny ki aas bhi nahi deti.
Halki phulki si hai zindagi,
Bojh to khwahishon ka hai.
THINGS TO REMEMBER
You just have to be the BEST kind of person,
you can be everyday.
LOVE other person even if they don’t love you back.
Never hurt another person on PURPOSE.
Use MISTAKES to learn about the world.
Use sadness to learn about YOURSELF.
YOU
Every morning and evening and night,
My mind is filled with thoughts of you.
As long as the sun continues to shine,
You can be sure that my heart will remain yours.
If they are willing to
How do I?
A Meeting
I met this guy in the park, sitting along with his dog named ‘DOG’. We somehow got into conversation and that is when I found out how interestingly he had named his pet, DOG.
He was in his mid 40’s and was still single. He had enough personality to have attract a women and was settled in his life financially.
I couldn’t control myself but to ask him the reason behind him being single. He said, “You wouldn’t understand.” We walked off the park and he offered me for a couple of beers. I had nothing else to do so went along with him to the nearest wine shop.
As he took his card out to pay I noticed he had a beautiful picture of him with a beautiful girl. As we reached his place and stepped inside, I said, “Nice Home. I must congratulate you for keeping your home this clean being a single guy.” He smiled and said,”I have enough time to look after things.”
While we were having drinks I asked him again,”Did you ever loose someone you love.” I asked him because it would be harsh to ask if he had a wife who might had passed away. He stayed silent for a while and then asked,”How old are you?”. “31 going to be 32 this july”, I responded.
“Well Vishu”, He said. “Your parents must be after you for getting married as you come from India.” “Not really sir”, I responded. “But they sure do want me to get married, some day, one day.”
He said,”Whats the issue then? Didn’t you find a good girl yet? You are not that bad in looks.”
I smiled and responded,”Let’t put it this way sir. I have found the girl I want to stay with. She somehow couldn’t stay with me.”
“I don’t understand.”, He said.
“I love this girl but she isn’t sure about me sir.” I replied.
“Ahh, I see… So you waiting for her?”, He asked.
“Yes sir”, I responded.
“What if she doesn’t come along soon”, At least then you would marry someone? Wouldn’t you?, He asked.
“I am waiting for her sir. Let’s just say I wana wait for her even if she doesn’t come.”, I responded with a heavy breath.
“Well my boy you are in the same boat I am”, He smiled while stating that and left the living room. After 2 minutes he was back with an album.
He had many beautiful pictures of him with the same girl from his violet.
He said,”She is my life” with a smile on his face. She is happily married and stays in Wellington with her husband and 2 kids.
I said with a nervous voice,”You think loving someone who doesn’t love you back is a wise thing to do sir?”
He smiled and said,”What about you then?”
I said,”I am not sure what future holds for me. I mean its easy to say that I would wait for her forever however I am not GOD. I am a normal human being who sometimes get tired of being honest to someone who doesn’t care about me. I might go ahead and marry someone later down the line for my parents.”
“That’s what I thought.”, He said.
I was done with my beer by then and I got up to take my leave. While I walked out to the garden in the front to get my car I made another compliment,”Your house is beautiful sir”.
He smiled and said,”This isn’t a house son, This is home to her, every single thing is organized the way she wanted it. Along with the DOG”. I saw towards his dog who was waving his tail, looking at me. I brushed his and placed a kiss on his head and he went off to the garden to play.
I smiled and walked off towards my car. A tear rolled over my cheek as I paced towards the door of my car so he doesn’t see me crying.
I waved off and he went inside his home calling his DOG to come in. While I was driving I was thinking, how easy it is to say that you can wait for your LOVE for the rest of your life but do I really have the courage for that?
If its true then I just had a meeting with my future and while it looks beautiful, it scares the shit out of me as well.
I wiped my tear and smiled as I remembered what he said during that conversation,”If its truly a pure LOVE, its worth it.”
What’s LOVE?
Love is not forced
Love is natural
Love sees beyond persona
Love sees no odds
Love hates no one
Love seeks no revenge
Love waits forever
Love is always hopeful
Love is pure and pious
Love is kind
Love pours happiness
Love spreads joy
Love shows the ways
Love comes with some pain
Love is worth of that pain
Love is Worth
Chahat or Pal
Chahaa to bohot nafrat karain tumhy
Chaahat par magar mera zor nahi
Bohot yaad kiya un baigarat lamhon ko
Pyaar fir bhi kambakhat kamm nahi hua
Chup rehta hun, tumhy taqleef hogi
Ye sochkar zikr karny se dartaa hun
Tum chaly gaye kuch hi lamhon main
Yakeen nahi hota ab tak
Itna kamzoor na tha pyaar hamaara
Shaayad ki hi nahi muhobbat mujhsy
Jitni sochaa kartaa tha main
Ki shaayad galat tha main, Ya shaayad tum
Tuhaari galtiyon ko bhool jata tha pal bhar main
Meri galti par bhool gayi mujhy pal bhar main
Pal bhar laga pyaar bhulaany main tumhy
Kya itna hi pyaar kiya tha tummy?
And You
There are a few things in the life so beautiful, it hurts.
Reading alone in empty libraries
Swimming in the ocean while it rains
Phases of moon
Smell of rose
Bars after 2 am
Walking in the wilderness
Things we don’t know about Univers
And you
"leftover" lovesome
