Life hits a purpose,
Next junction is its intent.
Crawl a further stop,
Call it your destination.
Hail glory!
Let it be a dream.
Uno step; its high time,
Miles to travel everytime.
Stones alter,
And pebbles falter.
Rocky edges,
The agile drives… a lille farther.
Whipped white on its road,
Cream can be scarce.
I still chose to walk,
For the dream is my task.
Hey today,
Found my purpose;
And its relevance.
Flashed in infinites,
Lifes’ a turning point…
Call it your ‘one million station!‘
Mehak gaon ki,
Mitti mein jaa basi.
Basera jazbaaton se…
Rooh ka kafila chala,
Gehraaiyon mein buna raha.
Woh kaisi yaari,
Log kahe dil-daari.
Daman uska kaise khali…
Saath-hi-saath,
Chale duniya saari.
Kabhi iss kadar,
Kabhi uss dagar.
Ghume woh shehr shehr…
Banjaara woh na sahi,
Dastak de har koi.
Koun hai…
Kahan hai!
Yahaan hoon yaar,
Tere paas, tere saath.
Main sirf main hoon…
Mujhse tu hai,
Mera naam Aks hai.
Along the red of rose,
And white of lilies…
Circled in wide blue,
Lies a radius.
A ‘Supreme’.
An incubator of existence,
Or a haven of spells…
Rings showers of cheer,
Or shrills of fear.
Intangible in its layer,
A placebo it may be…
Suspended it swings,
On the edge as its gear.
Stripped from the rear,
Still whole as a center…
Some say its spice,
I call it ‘Life!’
Woh kya hai jiski rooh nahi,
Woh koun hai jiska raaz nahi,
Phir bhi kabrr par sajta wohi…
Woh kaha hai jiska dhaam nahi,
Woh kabhi hawa se jukta nahi,
Phir bhi aangan mein basta wohi…
Woh kaisa hai jiski baat nahi,
Woh kyon hai jiske jazbaat nahi,
Phir bhi sej pe sajta wohi…
Woh dil pe na kaabu paya,
Woh kyon shabdon se na takraaya,
Phir bhi sehre se bandha wohi…
Woh anant mein kyon,
Woh moksh mein kab,
Mile kuch aise…
Jaise,
Puja ki dhun mein jab,
Aarti ke sur mein sab,
Dev ki bhakti mein tab,
Paavandham ka ek louta nivaasi wohi…
Bataon yaaron,
Woh koun…
Pushpp:
Ae jindadi tu dass mainu…
Kithe tu,
Aur… kitne tere maslein.
Na kaha; toh faasle badh gaye,
Aur bole toh faisle bann gaye.
Na ruke; toh haath chooth gaye,
Aur juke toh dil judd gaye.
Na sunna; toh ankhaan bhar aayie,
Aur samjha toh kaleje vichh thand paayi.
Na himmat; toh mann di joli khali,
Aur sher-da-jigra toh mutthi ekk bhaari.
Ab toh thoda dass…
Ae Jindadi,
Kithe tu…
….Tere vich koun…
Main… ya meri parchaayie!
Close your eyes.
Dream…
Follow your dreams,
Chase them.
Coz…
Dreams hold the power,
To transform realities.
Shape truths,
And build legacies.
Believe in your dreams,
Embrace them.
Coz…
Dreams share tales,
Of sweet sweat.
Hot pursuit,
And healing faith.
Promise to dream,
Much beyond.
Coz…
Beyond is the open sky,
Of limitless canvas.
With air to breathe,
And space to fly.
Dream to shine,
And be the twilight.
Coz…
Each sparkle is divine,
In a star so unborn.
Let the Hero rise,
Inside you, from within.
Unfold stories; until untold!
Khayaalon se karoon ek sawaal,
Meelon tak itni doori kyon?
Manzil koi dastak de,
Ankahe saare raaz kahe.
Woh meri zidd,
Mera jazba,
Aur junoon.
Jeene ka andaaz woh,
Mar mitne ka khawab bhi woh.
Aisa hi hai woh…
Jigar ke paar,
Jeet ka vaar.
Josh ki lalkaar,
Mann ki pukaar.
Bas aur koi nahi,
Akela woh, akela main.
Hum ladte rahe,
Phir bhi chalte rahe.
Haste haste…
Kabhi woh meri dagar,
Aur main uske nagar.
Aisa mera woh humsafar…
~ Mera Hounsla!
Maangle tu aaj,
Toofani lambi raat.
Buja de saare deepak,
Umeedon ke dwaar.
Jal gayi rasi,
Par bal na tuta.
Chalta rahe kafila,
Bhay naam hai tera.
Shikanj meri itni,
Koshish karta rahoon.
Joh jung mein hai tu,
Toh vaar main bhi karoon.
Tu bhay hai,
Toh main hosla hoon.
Tu le panaah soch mein,
Toh main dil mein basu.
Tu kamzor bana faislon ko,
Main buland awaaz dil ki.
Dagmagaye kabhi tere paiyr,
Main pathar ki ek lakir.
Sunn yaara apne mann ki,
Sirf andar dil ki.
Bhaga yeh bhay ko,
Mita uske ghar ko.
Jala mashaal roshni ki,
Ujaala kar aashiyaane ko.
Darr ka na koi naam,
Bhala uska kya hai kaam.
Rukna nahi,
Aur zukna nahi.
Maut se aage tu nikal,
Zindagi; silsilon ka…
Keval ek naam hai.
Life moved.
I grew,
And I grew tall.
Neglecting routine reserves,
Thinking they were all mine.
Things that were once free,
Soon came priced.
The inhale of fresh oxygen,
Now, layered with a nosy mask.
The solitude of lush greens,
Patrolled by guarded cops.
The zest of barefoot run,
Lie inside an online yoga room.
The silence of holy shrine,
Deliver home-made prayers.
The crisp of morning newsprint,
Surface a lifeless touchscreen.
The joy of hand-picked dailies,
Shrink-wrap in a market app.
The sizzle of hot popcorn in cinema,
Couch on indoor live streaming.
The thrill of real santoor,
Play on headphones in playlists.
The ghazal of Jagjit,
Ripples nostalgia in whisky.
The fine dining impression,
Sit at home-made dinner tables.
The roar of 3.00 am friends,
Mute with Zoom call Hi’s…
The promise of our well-being,
Commit insurance in covid covers.
The retire of one’s sweat,
Trend live stories on instagram.
The peace of mindful sleep,
Hover with what’s for tomorrow.
The warmth of love,
Is touched with woody silence.
What happened… Who knocked?
It only said,
I give… I retaliate…
Absences with absence.
Affection with affection.
Friendship with friendship.
Loyalty with loyalty.
No more one sided feelings.
Feelings must be mutual.
Respect my being.
And I respect you.
I am Nature.
I S O L A T I O N
Separated. Deserted. Alone. Single.
Not really.
But,
Connected. Included. Not one. A tribe.
Isolation ain’t isolated,
But a happy quarantine.
A cheerful me time,
On a happy selfie rhyme.
Glued to my lappy,
The worlds’ at my desk.
From SARS to CORONA’s,
All connected in my net.
Friends to my fingers,
Hellos at the wats-app.
Cutting real-time peeps.
Instagram says just be.
Claps on my creative,
Social Samosas cheer me loud.
Let’s now debate,
The Quint voices me out.
Alone; a petty status,
Tinder keeps me hooked.
Date, mate and hate,
Creates many stories.
Live is short,
Lasts for a day.
Meet me buddy,
I am today’s, ‘Its Live’.
So much to seek,
From likes to love.
Country’s world-wide,
To n fro land… on my palm.
Isolation ain’t isolated,
It’s the new me.
A diy hack,
My solo space shack.
ISOLATION
I am connected. I am included. I am the one. I am the tribe.
