Zindagi main gum hai
Gum main dard hai
Dard main maza hai
Or mazy main hum hain…
Poem
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.

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.”
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
Curse
Trust and promise go hand in hand
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.
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.
How do I?
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
Muhabbat
Muhabbat jab jab bhi hogi,
Yaad rakhna….
Tumsy hi hogi, jab bhi hogi,
Har baar hogi
Baar baar hogi
Good Morning
I know I cant’t stay away from you for long.
I know that to me, you truly belong.
Early in the morning, I miss you the most.
In your thoughts, I’m engrossed.
Sending you warm wishes for this morning.
Have a lovely day. Good Morning.
Nighty night
Sinking my face in the pilow
I murmured to myself
Hope you get a sound sleep
May I find you in dreams
There must be some place
In my dreams . . .
Where we are together
Nighty night my love.
Sufi
Aakar jo meri kabar pe, tumny jo muskura diya
Bijli chamak ke gir padi, sara kafan jala diya
Main so raha tha chain se, oody kafan mazaar main
Yahan bhi sataany aa gaye, kisny pata bata diya?
Mera tumhara faisla, hoga khuda ke saamny
Tumny jo baazi jeet li, mainy bhi sir jhuka diya
Sufi/Punjabi-2
Karla dil di safai je didaar chahida
Tu jahaan to ki laina tenu yaar chahida
Yaar yaad rahy hardum, bhul jaan da ki gum
Main haan yaar de dawaary, jhati paun da ki kaam
Aies sir nu jhukauna ek baar chahida
Karla dil di safai je didaar chahida
Dil baich ke dilbar maahi ton
DIlon pyaar bhulaya janda ni
Sir rakh key yaar de kadma te
Kady fair uthaya janda ni
Mera dil eh kahy
Meri jaan kahy
Mera deen ki
Mera imaan ki ye
Jab rabb rasul kuraan ki ye
Duja yaar banaya janda ni
Sufi/Punjabi-1
Chaar chabery kaanu takraan mardaiyn?
Jittiyan baaziyan kaanu haardaiyn?
Vekh la sohna har har de vich vasda
Teriyan oh kartutan vekh ke hasdaa
Ghary gawachi cheez dhindora sheher vich
Fark ni disda tenu apny gair vich
Tere dil vich band khazana noor da
Ghar vich baitha karla jawa door da
Kehen seyaany dil hai khana rabb da
Je laby te yaar khazana labda
Ishq aap vi awalla edy kamm vi awally
Jeedy pesh pe janda kakh chad da ni pally
Aitbaar na kari ve dekhin dokha khavenga
Vekhi pyaar ni karin ve nahi ta rul javenga
Ishq aap keda changa, changeya rehen vi ni dinda
Diny aathru vagayonda raati paiyn vi ni dinda
Raanjhy majjiya charaaiyan nafa ki khateya?
Doli leky heer de vede ranjha firy pateya
Kachy kothy nu je na lipiy, ek din dhendeyan dhendeyan deh janda
Lady russy nu je manaiy na, farak paindeya paindeya pe janda
Kayaamt aap ke darr pe sakhi sabny dekhi
Darry mukadar se ek bheed si lagi dekkhi
Na lota aajtak koi khaali Darbbary aasthan se
Tujhy dete nahi dekha magar jholi bhari dekhi
Hairaan nu es baat pe, tum kon ho kya ho
Haath ho to butt, haath na ho to khuda ho
Maut mujhko gawara hai lekin kya karu dum nikalta nahi
Daaldo apny aanchal ka tukda meri maiyatt pe chaadar nahi hai
Ek kalandar jangal andar ronda firy bechara
Majnu taiyon ohnu puchan lageya tu kyun ronda yaara?
Beparwaah mehboob de dil vich taras ratta na aaya
Pakdu churi us nazuk adda di te aashik nafa karaya
Closure
If you are going to
Leave my LIFE
At least close the door
Behind you
Because the cold winds
Still rush through the door
And linger around my home
That just reminds me of you
And of course I get curious
So from time to time
I follow the footsteps
You left behind
And each time I see you
You seem
Perfectly FINE.
While I’m NOT.
Jaruri tha
Teri aankho ke dariya ka utarna bhi jaruri tha
Muhabbat bhi jaruri thi bichadna bhi jaruri tha
Jaruri tha ke hum dono ye aarzu karty
Magar fir aarjuyon ka bikharna bhi jaruri tha
Batao yaad hai tumko, ki jab dil ye churaya tha
churaayi cheez ko fir ghar khuda ka bataya tha
Vo jab kehty thy mera naam dikhta hai tasveer main
Magar ab yaad aata hai vo baaty hi thi baaty bas
Kahin baaton hi baaton main mukarna bhi jaruri tha
