❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

इक तुम्हारा ख्याल

ही  मुकम्मल  है…

वो कितना खुशनसीब

जिसे तू हासिल है…

Your thought alone is

unblemishedly complete

How lucky is that person

who possesses you..!

 ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

जब भी तुम मुझे ढूँढना

चाहो, तो  सुन  लो…

मेरी  पसंदीदा  जगहों में,

एक  तुम्हारा  दिल  है…

Listen, whenever you’re

desirous of finding me …

Among my most favorite

places, one is your heart..!

 ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

तुम लिख कर लाना हर फ़िक्र

एक कोरे कागज़ पर, फिर हम

सिखाऐंगे तुम्हे कि कैसे जहाज

बनाकर उनको उडाया जाता है…

Bring in writing every worry

on a  blank  paper, then I’ll

teach  you  how  to make

aeroplane and fly them…

 ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

तैरना तो आता था हमें,

पर  जब  उसने  हाथ…

ही  नहीं  पकडा़  तो डूब

जाना  ही  अच्छा  लगा…

I did know swimming,

But when he didn’t hold

My hand, I preferred it

Better to get drowned..!

क्या लिखा है इन तिलस्मी दीवारों पर?

क्या है वो जिसे चाहकर भी

इंसान खोज ही नहीं पाता?

क्या यह ज़िंदगी के गाम हैं

जो क़ुदरत हमसे छुपाकर रखना चाहती है?

या यह किस्मत की लकीरें हैं

जिसे हम जानकार भी बदल नहीं सकते

और उसकी मौजूदगी को नकारते फिरते हैं?

या यह कोई ऐसा अमीक़ रहस्य है

जिसे न जानना ही अच्छा है?

कुछ तो लिखा होगा इन सदियों से

तनहा खड़ी इन दीवारों पर

जो वो कहना तो चाहती हैं

और हम समझ नहीं पाते

लफ़्ज़ों की नामौज़ूदगी में?

शायर मन कहाँ मानता है हार?

जबसे पता चला है कि यह रहस्य

अभी तक कोई जान नहीं पाया है,

मैंने बस उस दीवार को हौले से छू दिया-

न जाने क्यों रूह को महसूस हुआ

कि इन पत्थरों ने मुझे भी गले लगा लिया

और हम दोनों अपनी भीगी पलकों से

एक रिश्ता बना बैठे!

गाम = steps

अमीक़ = profound

☆ Mystical Wall…☆

What is it written on

these mystical walls…

What is that even after desiring mankind cannot

ever find it…

Are these the enigmatic

trails of the life

Which nature wants to

keep hiding from us; or,

Are these the streaks of luck

That we cannot even change despite wishing desperately

And, move around denying

its intriguing presence…

Or, is it such an abyssal secret that is coercively prohibitive to know…

Something must have been written for centuries on these lonely standing walls

Which they want to burst reveal desperately

That we’re unable to comprehend in the

absence of the words…

But, would the poet-mind ever accept the defeat…

Ever since I learnt that the secrets have yet not been revealed to anyone,

I curiously touched the wall, deftly; But knoweth not,

why did I have this soul-stirring experience of

these stones embracing me,

And we both,

-with our soulfully saddened eyes, developed an everlasting inseparable bond…!

☆ Poetry – My war for peace ☆

I am at war

With my own thoughts.

I have, goals to achieve

And feats to accomplish.

If ever, I am to achieve

My ultimate inner peace.

I have to prove my mettle

Before I go to final sleep.

The mental agony is

Too much to handle.

My thoughts are

Always at battle.

My limits are pushed

And new avenues are created.

My thirst for glory

Is too hard to quench.

I must win my war

To get my inner peace

Or else, for my life

Just sit idle and repent.

एहसासों की गठरी भी

कभी-कभी खुल ही जाती है,

और तब गिरने लगते हैं एहसास

सूखे पत्तों की तरह

जिनकी मौजूदगी, बस, ख़त्म होने को ही है!

कहाँ सूखे पत्तों की ज़िंदगी फिर से

हरी और खूबसूरत हो सकती है?

उन्हें तो खूबसूरती ढूँढनी पड़ती है

बस अपने आखिरी लम्हों में-

कभी वो खुश होते हैं

उनको इतनी रंगीन दहर का हिस्सा बनने का

हसीन मौक़ा मिला,

कभी वो अपने आखिरी पलों का

लुत्फ़ उठाते हैं और बस यूँ ही

बिना किसी बात के मुस्कुरा देते हैं,

और फिर माफ़ करते हुए उन सबको

जिन्होंने उन्हें कभी ग़म दिया हो,

समा जाते हैं मिट्टी में!

कभी टटोलकर देख लेना

अपने एहसासों की गठरी-

और धीरे-धीरे, एक-एक करके

गिराते रहना यह पत्ते-

जब सारे पत्ते एक साथ गिरते हैं ना,

शजर दर्द से तिलमिला उठता है!

☆ Bundle of feelings…☆

 Sometimes the bundle of

feelings, bursts open with

an outpour of emotions,

like an incessant fall

of dried leaves,

whose life cycle is

just about to end…!

Can the dried leaves

ever be green again?

Can  their  life  be

beautiful  ever again?

As they realise their beauty

in  the  dying  moments

sans anxiety, delightfully

to be part of a sprightly

hued journey,

Ever grateful for the heavenly

fortune they chanced upon…!

Making the world colourful

till their last moments,

As they kept spreading

the happiness smilingly,

with myriad hues of autumn,

without uttering a word,

Forgiving them all,

who gave them pain,

As they merged merrily

in the soil below…!

Keep groping your

Bundle of feelings, too;

And, you too, keep dropping

leaves, one by one, slowly

Coz, when all the leaves

fall together,

The tree itself writhes in

agony, excruciatingly…!
