कभी यूँ ही

कभी यूँ ही हमको अपना बनाकर तो देखो,
कभी यूँ ही हमसे कुछ कहकर तो देखो,
कभी यूँ ही मेरे हाथों में अपना हाथ देकर तो देखो,
कभी यूँ ही खुद से मोहब्बत करके तो देखो,
कभी यूँ ही ये नज़रें मिलाकर तो देखो,
कभी यूँ ही ये दूरी मिटा कर तो देखो,
कभी यूँ ही ख़ामोशी को सुनकर तो देखो,
कभी यूँ ही हमको अपना बनाकर तो देखो...
कभी यूँ ही..

Pain

Pain I welcome you,
I challenge you to make me fall,
I challenge you to kill me,
I challenge you to defeat me,
I challenge you to make me hate,
I challenge you to forget my love,
You cowardice you can make me cry,
That is what you can do,
But I will love her till my breath. 

उसका छज्जा और मेरी खिड़की

उसका छज्जा और मेरी खिड़की

पसंदीदा जगह हैं मेरी।

दोनों जहन में हमेशा रहते हैं,

खुद से और मुझसे गुफ्तगू करते हैं।

मेरी खिड़की और उसका छज्जा

कुछ फासले पे तो थे मगर

दोनों एक दूसरे को निगाहें

तिरछी कर देख लेते थे।

सुबह-सुबह खिड़की पर

टकटकी लगा के बैठना

और उसको छज्जे से

बाहर निकलते देखना

और फिर झट से खुद भी

कुछ फासला बनाके अजनबी से

उसके पीछे पीछे चलना,

ये सब मुमकिन था

क्यूँ कि मेरे घर की खिड़की

और उसके घर का छज्जा

आमने सामने थे।

वो दिन थे जब जिंदगी में

घड़ी की जरुरत न थी,

क्यूँ कि खिड़की और छज्जा

मुझे सही वक़्त की खबर देते थे।

शाम और देर रात को भी

ये खिड़की और छज्जा

बखूबी मेरा साथ देते थे मेरा,

उसका दीदार कराने में।

रात चाँदनी हो या फिर काली

मेरा चाँद मुझे दिखता ही था,

इसी जमीन पर, कुछ फासले पर।

आज न मेरी खिड़की है

न उसका वो छोटा सा छज्जा,

बस बाकी हैं तो दोनों की यादें,

जो वक़्त पाते मेरे ख्वाबों को

खुबसूरत और दिलनशीं बनाती हैं।

कभी जायेंगे उसी घरोंदे में देखने

कि क्या मंज़र आज भी वही है,

कि मेरी खिड़की और उसका छज्जा

आज भी आपस में बातें करते हैं।

I will be there always

You will always find me besides you
Even when you don't need me.
You will always find me listening you
Even when you are not able to say anything.
You will always find me waiting for you
Even when you are not sure to see me.
You will always find me talking to you
Even when you don't have words to express.
You will find me encouraging you
Even when I am myself broken completely.
You will always find me loving you
Even when I am left with few breaths.
You will find me gazing into your eyes
Even when my eyes are left with little light to see.
You will find me longing to be with you
Even when I am left with few seconds to live.

Not a problem

If we can't look into
Each others eyes,
That is not a problem,
I will look into the same direction
as you do.
If you can't talk to me,
That is not a problem,
I will talk with your silence.
If I can't sing with you,
That is not a problem,
I will hear the song
That your breaths sing.
If you don't want to be with me,
That is not a problem,
I will live with your thoughts.

Twinkling & Gleaming Eyes

Twinkling eyes with Innocent gaze,

Sweet voice with taste of craze,

Honest look with peaceful mind,

She is lovely and she is kind.

Swinging tresses in the blowing wind,

Crescent smile and tender hand,

Shining forehead and gleaming eyes,

Take my breath away and make me feel high. 

लबों पे नाम, दिल में दुआ और साँसों में खुश्बू

डर तो लगता है कहीं कोई खास भुला तो ना देगा,

फिर लगता है डर उनको रोक भी तो न लेगा।

डर लगता है कहीं ये ख़ूबसूरत खाब टूट तो न जायेगा,

फिर लगता है डरने से कुछ बदल तो न जायेगा।

डर लगता है कहीं हम खो तो न जायेंगे,

फिर लगता है इससे हम लौट तो न आएंगे।

डर लगता है कहीं उनसे मिल तो न पाएंगे,

फिर लगता है डरने से वो मिल तो न जायेंगे।

डर लगता है कि मंजिल तक पहुँच न पाएंगे,

फिर लगता है कि सोचके ऐसा हम खुद ही डगमगायेंगे।

डर लगता है हर एक बात से, हर एक वाकया से,

जिसके घटने से कोई खास दूर हो जायेगा,

फिर लगता है डर के कुछ बेहतर भी तो न हो पायेगा।

इसलिए दिल ने तय किया है कि डरेंगे नहीं।

इससे पहले कि ज़ुबान जवाब दे जाये,

इससे पहले कि देह कमज़ोर और जर्जर हो जाये,

इससे पहले कि धड़कन थम जाये,

इससे पहले कि आँखों कि रौशनी जाये,

इससे पहले कि कोई तूफ़ान आये,

अपने लबों पे उनका नाम, आँखों में तस्वीर,

दिल में दुआ और साँसों में उनकी खुश्बू बसायेंगे।

Rain and You!

You and rain, both the beauties,
Are charming and soothing to me.
Both of you introduced me to each other.
I remember the rain I saw you
Jumping, playing and laughing,
Felt as if time stopped for a moment  
And I fell in love with you.
That day I could feel the beauty
And grace rain could have.
That day I could feel the power
Love can have and change the world around us.
This picture shows two beauties together,
Smiling on each other like an innocent child.
I thank you both for spreading
Happiness and grace of beauty in my world.

When Nothing Works

When life seem utterly senseless,

You make it meaningful.

When everything in life looks bad,

You make it beautiful in seconds.

When future looks fade and dark,

You ignites the ray of hope.

When I don't want to say anything,

You make me speak & release the frustration.

When it feels bad and low,

You lift me up to normal.

नन्हा पौधा

एक नन्हा सा पौधा लाया था हमने अपने आँगन में,

स्नेह प्यार लाड दुलार से थामा था अपने दामन में।

बीते बरस, महीने बीते हफ्ते बीते दिन भी बीते,

ऐसा लगता है फिर भी, अभी तो कुछ लम्हे ही बीते।

आँधी आई, झोंके आये, लू भी आई, शीत भी आई,

इन सबको झेला पौधे ने, तो फिर आगे बहार भी आई।

धीरे धीरे हौले हौले नन्हा पौधा बृक्ष बन गया,

आते हैं अब इस पर पंछी, सबका ये संसार बन गया।

अब कैसी भी आंधी आये, पानी आये गर्मी आये,

अडिग रहेगा मेरा साथी, जीवन भर का ये सहपाठी।

नहीं चाहिए हमको कुछ भी अपने इस प्यारे साथी से,

चाहा है वो अडिग बने, निर्भीक बने, दुनिया का कल्याण करे।

हम खुश यूँ होते बैठेंगे, टहनी को सहला लौटेंगे,

होंठों पे मुस्कान लिए यों ख़ुशी किसी से मिल बाँटेंगे।

क्या बोलोगे?

जहाँ "वीर भोग्या वसुंधरा" एक शान का प्रतीक हो,

वहाँ तुम किसी कमजोर को न्याय दिलाओगे?

जहाँ ऐसे तो लोगों को अछूत माना जाये

लेकिन उनकी क्वारी बेटी को जिंदा निगल लिया जाये,

उनको तुम सूरवीर और महान मानोगे?

जहाँ राजपाट के लिए तो बेटी बिहाई जाये पर जात में,

लेकिन अगर कोई खुद करे तो मार दिया जाये,

उस देश को तुम महान बोलोगे,

जहाँ प्यार मोहब्बत पर फ़िल्में तो बनायीं जाएँ,

पर असलियत में माँ बाप ही बेटी का गला घोंट दें,

उस संस्कृति को सनातन और सभ्य बोलोगे?

जो बेटियों को चार दिवारी में बंद रखें,

और बहुओं को पैर की जूती बना के रखें

उनको सूरमा और योद्धा बोलोगे?

अरे चलो दोगलो और बुजदिलो,

जो बोलना है बोलो लेकिन ये जान लो,

जानवर भी तुमसे बेहतर और संवेदनशील होता है।

It's okay to be abnormal

It’s okay to be abnormal 
And doing stupid things.
It’s okay to be childish
And wanting something badly. 
It’s okay not to be great
And running for more. 
It’s okay to feel down 
And then rising up again. 
It’s okay to cry often 
For the things you value. 
It’s okay to waste time
For the things you like. 
It’s okay to be crazy 
For the person you love. 
It’s okay to make mistakes 
And learn from them. 
It’s okay to doubt yourself 
And proving it wrong.
It’s okay to feel weak 
And empowering later. 
It’s okay to be fool
And making others smile.
It’s okay to do everything
But not harming others.

What Life Needs

What should one look for in life?
I think one just needs someone
Who accepts us as we are.
Who can bears with our stupidity.
Whom we can face in any state,
Physical or mental whatsoever.
Who can trusts us in our worst times,
Who can reads silence on our lips.
Who will stands beside us when we fail,
Who can makes us smile when we cry,
Who loves us unconditionally.
Whom we don't need to lie for anything.
Who helps finding meaning of life.
Who we can live with anywhere.

Yes, there will be a dawn of happiness

Yes I feel happy for the things

Which can be as small as nothing for you.

Yes I cry for the things

Which you dont notice most of the time.

Yes I may have been broken,

But that does not mean I will stop trying.

Yes I am in virtual world,

But that does not mean I have forgotten harsh reality.

Yes I dream day and night,

But that does not mean I dont care about the world

That gave up dreaming since long.

Yes I was silent till now,

But that does not mean I wont speak up ever.

Yes I am lucky

But that does not mean I dont notice misery of millions.

Yes I love darkness

But that does not mean I dont understand the value of light.

Yes I was cowardice

But that does not mean I will never dare.

Yes you fooled me

But that does not mean I will not understand your crookedness.

Yes you ruled on me

But that does not mean I will never rule over you.

Yes I may have fallen down

But that does not mean I will never rise up again.

So mind you, whatever bad happened to me

Will be a source of strength once I am awakened and united.

May be I could not see the change I want,

But that does not mean I will give up.

There will come a day

There will come a day when

Everything will make sense.

There will come a day

You would look into the eyes

Incessantly with love.

There will come a day when

You will not feel tired

While walking miles with that special someone.

There will come a day when

You would like to hear more than you speak.

There will come a day when

This world would look like a joy ride.

There will come a day when

You will not need a reason to smile

But a glimpse of that special one

Will make you forget all worries.

There will come a day when

You would be childish

No matter where you are.

There will come a day when

Nothing will be more beautiful than

The smile of your special one.

There will come a day when

World would be a lovely space.

There will come a day when

You won’t want anything more than the love of your life. 

Love is Lovely

Love is when we don’t need a special reason

To celebrate the life.

Togetherness is itself enough to

Celebrate each moment of love.

Love is when we trust each other

Even if world conspires against us.

Love is when distance does not matter

And feelings transcend thousand miles.

Love is when you want to listen

Same thing again and again without getting bored.

Love is when we throw our ego

And surrender ourselves to each other.

Love is when everything looks beautiful

And you feel young throughout your life.

Love is when you cry and smile

For crazy stupid little things.

Love is when we go hand in hand miles,

And still don’t feel tired.

Love is when you seek reasons

To bring a smile on her face each day and night. 

You are love

What is love they ask me, I say you are my love.
Making you smile when you feel low is love,
Holding your hand when you are afraid is love.
Waiting to see you in the uncertainty is love,
Looking into the eyes and reading your mind is love,
Roaming around carelessly hand in hand is love,
Dying to have a glimpse of you in every morning is love,
Smiling without a reason while thinking of you is love,
Missing you while in the crowd is love,
Longing to hear a word from you is love,
Sleeping again to complete a dream of you is love,
Teasing you for your stupidity is love,
Letting you to make fool of me when
I am aware of the real scene is love,
Looking for excuses to see you time and again is love,
Finding a thing whole day which will make you happy is love,
Dear friend, this is the way I see and can explain my love.

An Evening

I remember that evening

When I saw you first time.

You were merrily jumping around,

Sprinkling water from the

Patches of rain water on the ground.

We were so sweet and happy

My eyes struck to the scene.

I did not feel the happiness before

That I felt seeing you there.

You were looking like an angel

Who makes her friends smile.

An angel who makes

Dreams of her believers come true.

Calling love may not be right,

As I was small child too.

For me love may not be that much

Understandable at that point of time.

But that is one of the most beautiful moments

Which I will cherish till my last breath.

I long to see that evening again and again

And to the child that makes me smile merrily. 

Why We Are Important to Each Other

There may be people who

Can ask why we are important to each other,

My answer to them is as follows.

We are important because

We chose each other,

We chose to love each other,

We chose to smile together,

We chose to laugh together,

We chose to walk together,

We chose to cry together,

We chose to tease each other,

We chose to hold our hands,

We chose to hear each other’s silence,

We chose to be together,

We chose to break the futile laws,

We chose to decide what is right,

We chose to soothe other when

One of us feels insecure and afraid.

We chose to lift each other when

One of us falls down in dismay,

We chose to make other sleep

While one of us is awake,

We chose to listen other when

One of us wants to say something,

We chose to wait until

One of us is able to say something,

We chose to understand when

We are apart and can’t talk,

We chose to be perfect when

We know no one is perfect,

We chose to accept the fact

That we are incomplete without each other.

We chose our relationship not

Any random law or custom of the society.

We are important because

We value each other which makes us

Important and irreplaceable to each other.

Rose, Rain & Dreams

Whenever I see a rose,   

It feels like you are close.

Whenever I see you in rain,

It feels like I am in the dream.

Whenever I hear birds chirping,

It feels like you are singing.

Whenever I close my eyes,

I see you on dice of my life.

You are my Sweet Angel

You are my angel,

Sweet angel who makes me feel

As if I am at the ninth cloud,

You are my savior,

Who saves me from falling

In the darkness of this world,

You are my complement,

Who completes me and

Who saves me from being incomplete.

You are my guide,

Who helps me find my path

Who never let me feel like I am alone.

You are my sailor,

Who saves me from drowning,

Who takes me out of miseries and

Makes me feel elated and blessed.

So Sweet

So sweet you are my love,
You make me forget the world,
You make me blow like wind,
You make me feel live,
You make me feel free like bird,
So sweet you taste my love..

Everything will come and go..

Year after year this day will come and go,

I promise my love for you will always grow,

The dawn will come and day will go,

My respect for you will always grow,

One season will come and other will go,

My madness for you will always grow,

Day by day my age will grow,

But your value in my life will always grow,

Moments after moments my breathe will slow,

Pace of my heart for you will always grow,

With few last breaths, love I may not show,

But being your pillow I would love to go.

बेकाम धोंस

उनसे कुछ करने को कहा हमने, उनने इंकार कर दिया,

थोड़ी जिद भी दिखाई हमने लेकिन इंकार ही रहा।

हम बोले ठीक है आज दिन आपका है कल हमारा भी होगा कभी, 

इठला के बोले वो कि धोंस न दो हमको ये सब।

हम बोले गलत बात है ये, और पूछे क्यूँ नही डरे इस धमकी से, 

तो खिलखिला उठे और बोले हम तो करा ही लेंगे तुमसे सो डरना काहे का।
