After another 1.5 years...! Draft of 2011- now publishing!!

Again, visited the blog after 1.5 years... amazed yet again at how time flies. Kuch adhoori si layine thi pichli baar ki... deciding to leave it there only and start afresh, a lot has changed since, and in some ways, nothing. Exactly where I was.

Zindagi ke kuch kadam  phir se peeche ki aur dekhne lagain,
Aur tumhari yaad ne aaj phir se ek dastak de di.
Jin palon ko humnein kisi kone main daba kar rakha tha.
Aaj unhone ne dubara se ek kasak jaga di.

Kabhi sochte hain ki kya hum aage bade bhi ya nahin.
Yaha usi waqt main thahar ke rah gaye hain.

January 2015

I don't even now remember which was the last year that I posted on this blog... Infact, today when I was loggng in, I was not even sure how to log in - ended up becoming my own blog's (and only!) follower :). 11:11 at night - was all ready to crash out.. but since have picked up the pen again, how can I leave without writing something... surprising, there was a time in life, when words would just flow out of me .. within hours, something would be created... and now, even if i try, and try hard, nothing comes to my mind... but then at that time, someone had touched, and broken, the very soul of my being..


कहीं पे रूह  का टुकड़ा था 
कहीं पे मेरा एक आंसूं बिखरा पड़ा था 
किसी कोने मैं एक बाली  थी 
कहीं पे तुम्हारे छुए का एहसास पड़ा हुआ था 

एक एक टुकड़े को बड़ी  मुश्किल से समेटा है 
अपने अंदर उसे, अपनी उसी पुरानी जगह पे, रखने की कोशिश की है  
पर यह दरारें हैं की भर्ती ही नहीं … 

अब तो सालों गुज़र गए हैं 

 चाह कर भी तुमको अपने अंदर से निकाल नहीं पायी 
तुम तो आगे बड़ गए , हम उसी रस्ते  पे खड़े रह गए.. 

Revisits...

Every time I visit the blog, I am surprised to see how the time has flown... And every time I visit, I am always at such a different phase of life, even I am surprised...It is amazing how things move in direction that you would never have thought possible till some couple of years back. But I think whats important is always to strive to find your balance, your sense of happiness.. something I learnt, and I always make it a point to tell (who ask for it):

Irrespective of how-so-ever life changes, its circumstances change, one ALWAYS ALWAYS finds ones balance, ones new balance. My happiness may not be the same as it was. It will be a new kind of happiness, but it will be there.. and more often than not- it would be better- as you would have grown, matured as a person- and learnt to appreciate things so much better..

zindagi ke in rango main,
apna rang hum dhoondte phir rahein hain...
in raasto main,
apni manzil dhoondtein phir rahe hain...

par phir sochte hain,
shayad yis raah main..
yeh talash hi dishant hoti hai.

After a Long time

Have picked up the pen again to write ... after almost 2 years, now that I see the dates of my earlier posts. How the time has flown by, did not even realize.

कभी इन गलियों में तो कभी इन दीवारों में
कभी रात के चाँद की रेशमी चादर्रों में
तो कभी इस  चिलचिलाती धुप के उजालों में
कभी अपनों में  तो कभी  बेगानों में
तुम्हारी एक झलक को हम ढूंढते रहे...

to be contd... :)

Aa bhi jao

Aa bhi jaao ki ab Lab ho chuke hain pyaase
Aa bhi jao ki ab Nigahen bhi ho chali hain pyaasi
Is tan badan main bhari hai ek udaasi
Tumhare intezaar main din ban chukain hain barson
Thode se Aur lamhon ki zindagi ko de rahein hain duhaii
Aa bhi jaao ki ab ban chuke ho tum humari zaroorat
Ho chale hain tumhare bin adhoore, khud se hi kar rahein hai bewafaai…

Some lines here and there...

Madhoshi ke is alam main,thoda sa aur jaam pine de
Raat ki is khamoshi main, saaki , thoda aur doob jane
Andhere main hi hota hai woh mere paas.
Subah dhalne tak thoda aur jee lene de .

……………………………………………………………………………..

Kuch baatein adhoori , Kuch kaahaniyan adhoori,
Kuch lamhe adhoore, Kuch mulaqatein adhoori
Thode se din adhoore, Thodi si raatein adhoore.
Thode se Hum adoore, Thode se tum adhoore

………………………………………………………………………….

Aa dil, ab phir se nayee rah par chaltein hain
Apni ek nayee roshni, nayi manzil dhoonte hain
Ab phir se ek naya humsafar , ek basera dhoondte hain

Mukammil..

Mukammil…
Ek baar phir hum aapne aap se mukamil ho jaayen
Is Raat ke andhere main khud ko ek baar phir paa jaayein
Ek muddat baad tumhari bahoon ne humko chuha hai
Tumhari saanso main khud ki saanso ko milate jaayein

Is Aag main thoda tum jalo, thoda hum jalen
Is Tapish main aaj dono pighalte hi jaayen
Raakh ban jaaye ya ban ke nikle sona
Aaj ek baar phir khud se mukammil ho jaayen…
