Knowing nothing ever

Striving to just maneuver 

Is this a deal of power? 

To be crushed, to merely cover? 

Laughing at my own cost

A journey I know that will never last

Carrying baggages of the past

Lost in the mystery of the vast

Holding onto what brought me thus far

To reach ashore with or without all the scar!

Unworthy of an offering,  Am I such a despair? 

Hate me or love me, beg you have a space within to spare! 

Beyond the sea of attachment, I do wish to dare.

Will wait beyond time for sure, for I certainly care.

Burning in desire, will this ever be the same?

Misery or Joy, I just have myself here to blame.

Will another lifetime go past like this? I find my tears go dry,

How does it matter, for everything here is wry!

She!

Dignity as the attire

Pride in her heart

Adorning glory of the past

And divinity in every act

Grace in her walk

Ace in every talk

Poise and subtle

Gentle yet not brittle

Strong as iron

Majestic as a lion

Respect in her heart

Elegant like an art

She alone is a woman

That no man dares to  garn

Haar ya jeeth?

Kaun jeetha, kaun haara is khEl mein
Kya bathaayen raahi?

Jisme jeethna namunkin hai aur haarna wafaa hai
Ise kaise suljhaayen raahi?

Jo dooba isme usko choot kahaan hai bhaai?
Jisme marne par bhi jeeth hai,  usme hum kaise jeeyen humraahi?

Pyaar khuda hai toh, woh mushkil kyoon hai raahi?
Dard mein mar mite toh kyaa? Humne kya paya,  kya khoya hai bhaai?

Humne toh pyaar hi jathaaya
Aur kuch bhi toh naahi?
Sanam bewafa nikle, ab is darde dil ko hum kyaa samjhaayen raahi?

गुज़र न जाए यह पल

आपकी खफा में भी अनोखा अंदाज़ है
इन आसुओं में भी एक अजीब सा मज़ा है

खफा होकर इन लम्हों को यूँ गवारा न कीजिये
मोहबत का आलम है कुछ तो कदर किया कीजिये

बीत जाएंगे पल, फिर आये न आये!
ऐक बार ही सही, इस दिल पर भी ऐतबार कर लीजिये

Block, A building block!!

Blocks can hold the hands of the clocks,
Can it make the time stop though?

O wise mind,  Be wise and kind.
Turn the same hard blocks into building blocks, thus fiercely vow..

To unwind and shine,
To blow the immense pain
Only to joyfully and simply grow!

Dooriyaan

Unke saath bithaaye hue woh chand lamhe,
Un lamhon se judi apni apni khoobsoorat kahAniyAn!

Laathi hain muskuraahat chehre par aaj bhi woh nishaaniyaan,
Zindagi tho kya,  moath mein bhi jeelenge lekar un yaadon ki parchaayiyaan!!

Unki aankhon ki woh geharaayiyaan,
Jinme doobkar mit gayi tanhaayiyaan!

Na dil se uthra kabhi woh chehra,
Usne kiya har waqt aakhon par pehara!

Yeh Mohabat tho nakhatam honewaali saraab hai
Bin piye nasha chad jaaye aisi ajab sharaab hai

Ey chaand unse miloge tho yeh zaroor kehana,
Ab mushkil hai unse yoon door rehana!
