log wapas nahi aate

mausam laut kar aate hain,
par log wapas nahi aate,

yaad reh jati hai gujare huye lamhon ki,
par unke nishan mit nahi paate,

har kadam tanhai saath chalti hai,
phir chahe saaye saath chord jaate hain,

kareeb hote huye bhi sahil ke,
kasti sahil se mil nahi paati hai,

chahatein mit jaati hain shayed,
phir bhi dil mein basi ummid,

kabhi mit nahi pati,

mausam laut kar aate hain,
par log wapas nahi aate...!

if I tell you.. would you

if I tell you that I needed you,
would you laugh and make mecry?

if you ever saw my cuts,
would you leave and say goodbye?

if I tell you that you are my only love,
would you believe what I say?

if I tell you that you are my world,
would you turn and walk away?

if I tell you.. if I didn’t have you,
my life would come to an end.

can I really trust you,
to be like my best friend?

if I tell you that you hurt me,
would you even care?

if I tell you that it wasn’t feeling good,
can I count on you to be there?

if I tell you that I want to die,
because you have caused so much pain,
would you try to find out
what’s making me go insane?

if I tell you I am having problems,
and I needed you to stay,
to help me out,
would you try to find a way?

if I tell you I am deeply in love,
because I can’t live without your touch,
would you believe me when I say
I love you very much?

if I tell you that without your love,
my life would be off track,
if I tell you I love you,
can I trust you to love me back?

if I tell you..would you?

main sab kuch bhool jata hoon

jab bhi tum yaad aati ho,
main sab kuch bhool jata hoon...

tera hassta hua chehara,
teri jadu bhari baatein,
tere gillay, tere shikway,
teri masoom adaayein,

tere yadoon ke jhule mein,
main tanha jhool leta hoon,
jab bhi tum yaad aati ho,
main sab kuch bhool jata hoon...

akshar chooti si baatoun par
jab tum rooth jati thi,
mere manane se pehle,
khud hi maan jati thi,

jab bhi online hoti thi,
khushi se mail phool jata tha,
jab bhi tum yaad aati ho,
main sab kuch bhool jata hoon..

I am about to explode

we keep the pain inside us,

we feel happy too at times,
but happiness seems to be a bad teacher
whatever lesson is found there
we always easily forget..!

pain is magnificent when it comes

we really feel it down to the last nerve
to the last marrow of our bones
even rattling with the sound

of its groans and wailing's

and so here I am again
writing, learning, exposing
the poet of pain unswerving, 

and you may not like this..

I am this poet, 

this pain, this universe,
where you also revolve,
take orbit, where you are
a part of this poem, 

please move on, 

we may have this, 

needless collision..

let me have my way, 

I am about to explode

aisa zulm kisi aur pe na karna

kabhi akele me bethkar ye khayal aata hai,
ki har dum mujhe kyu wo hi yaad aati hai,

jisne zakhm itne diye,
jisne sabhi waade tord diye,
kya usse bhi kabhi tanhai mein koi gam satata hai,

umra bhar ka sath nibhane ka kehti thi jo,
wo chand lamho ka bhi sath na nibha paayi,

kya itna kamjor pyar hota hai?
kya kabhi use apne kiye per afsos hota hai?

unhone apna daaman phoolo se saja liya,.
humara nata kaato se jord diya,
aasma pe bihtakar pal bhar mein gira diya,
kya yahi usne mujhe meri wafao ka sila diya?

palat ke bhi na dekha ki hum mar gaye ya ji rahe,
kya yahi sab achhai ke naseeb mein aata hai?

uski yaad mein maine kitne aashu bahaye,
kya wo bhi kabhi hum pe zulm karke roti hai?

hai is duniya mein khuda kahi,
to kya yahi uske darbaar mein nyay hota hai,
ki har ek begunaah gamo mein rota hai aur,
kasuwar sone ki sej par sota hai??

hum to usme bhi khush hain,
na kabhi shikawa ki na shikayat ki,
har zakhm hass kar seh gaye,
apne aashuo ko khud hi pi gaye,

par aye-khuda itna reham zarur karna,
ye hasin zulm kisi aur pe na karna,
na karna… na karna...

love.. the source of strength, reality, unity, success, passion, sharing, security

being happy for the other person
when they are happy
being sad for the other person
when they are sad
being together in good times
and being together in bad times
love is the source of strength..!

being honest with yourself at all times
being honest with the other person at all times
telling, listening, respecting the truth
and never pretending
love is the source of reality..!

an understanding that is so complete that
you feel as if you are a part of the other person
accepting the other person just the way they are
and not trying to change them to be something else
love is the source of unity..!

the freedom to pursue your own desires
while sharing your experiences with the other person
the growth of one individual alongside of
and together with the growth of another individual
love is the source of success..!

the excitement of planning things together
the excitement of doing things together
love is the source of the future..!

the fury of the storm
the calm of the rainbow
love is the source of passion..!

giving and taking in a daily situation
being patient with each other’s needs and desires
love is the source of sharing..!

knowing that the other person
will always be with you regardless of what happens
missing the other person when they are away
but remaining near in heart at all times
love is the source of security...!!

these silent tears

this pain inside,
these silent tears,
I have kept them hidden
for many years...

this life I lead,
these things I do,
I have kept them hidden
and no one knew...

this person I am,
these parts of me,
I have kept them hidden
let no one see...

then you came along
so different from the rest,
no more did I hide
the worst or the best...

you excepted who I was
every last part of it,
and on top of that
my world you lit...

now I am changing
but still you are here,
and that you will leave
I do not have to fear...

I just want to thank you
for being my friend,
and changing my world
from beginning to end...

if you are reading this
you will know who you are
you are my best friend
and my shining star.

life a roller coaster ride

life a roller coaster ride
who knows what it holds in its stride ,

I will learn to handle the broken pieces
afterall in somethings atleast I can take pride.

don't rely on dreams
they will be lost somewhere..

oh comeon happiness you can go
but sadness you sure can come.

whats the surprise
with time some things change,

walking in sunshine cannot always happen
let’s walk today in rain.

sunshines takes the dew drops away,
my rights in life also at this point sneaks
as I take my hand further
to touch the dew drops on the cheeks.

I believe in myself

I believe in my dreams
I will never loose hope,
I believe in my ambition
so with competition I can cope,

I believe in my talents
and will make the best of it,
I believe in my future
for which I will work bit by bit,

I believe in my abilities
I will make my own name,
I believe I can do it
so I can win life’s game,

I believe in my strengths
I want to lead the throng,
I believe in almighty God
who keeps us from wrong,

I believe in my vision
I trust my instincts,
I believe in reality
so my fate never gets jinxed

I believe in myself
though the world may not
now anything is possible
because I believe it is..

ye deewanapan humein le aaya hai kaha

deewanapan humein le aaya hai kaha,
woh bahon ki garmiyan,
woh sanson ki narmiyan,

woh ret mein chapte pairon ke nishaan,
woh dhalti shamon ke rang jawaan,
aks humara jaane kho gaya kahan,

har aaine mein ho tumhara hi gumaan,
lamha lamha ruk gaya hai yahaan,

tumhare aagosh mein tanhai ka ehsaas kaha,
ab to yeh ruh hai wahan, tum ho jahan,
uff deewanapan humein le aaya hai kaha.

mere dil ke har kone se awaz yehi aaye

ek hi duniya mein rehte hain phir bhi mil nahi paate,
tumse to tumhare khawaab ache hain jo,
aankh band karte hi chale aate hain,

phool bankar muskurana zindagi hai,
muskurakar gam bhulana zindagi hai,
yehi kudha se duwa hai meri tujhe,
duniya bhar ki kushiya de,

aasman mein itne taare ho ki,
mujhe aasman nazar na aaye,
aye khuda mere kaatil ke,
daman mein itni khushiyan ho,
ki usse gam kabhi nazar na aaye.

hum to sirf  unki baat kiya karte hain,
har dhardkan unke naam kiya karte hain,
woh hain humein apno se bhi pyare,
tabhi to wakt bewakt unko yaad kiya karte hain,

har gam unka hum par se guzar jaye,
palkon par unke nami tak na aaye,
har khushi rahe damanme unke,
mere dil ke har kone se awaz yehi aaye.

raaton ko tannha yaadon mein kisi ki

jo keh naa sake woh fasana yaad aata hai,
gujara hua dilkash zamana yaad aata hai,

jab husn se ishq takraya tha kabhi,
ghayal hua tha ek parwana yaad aata hai,

dil se mohabbat ke toofan uthe the jab,
aankhon ke sapne sajana yaad aata hai,

gulaab jaise din mehakte the mere,
raaton ka gungunana yaad aata hai,

aankhon ka mil kar jhuk jana nahi bhula,
hothoon ka thar-tharana yaad aata hai,

mera unko tirchi akhiyoon se dekhna baar baar,
aur unka woh muskurana yaad aata hain

raaton ko tanha yaad mein kisi ki,
dhuan udata ek deewana yaad aata hai.

gam teri judaai ka ab baya kis se kare

andhere mere nightmare ban gaye,
diya tere nam ka bujhne jab laga,

samandar se puch meri kashti ka kya hua,
tufano mein chehara tera jab dikhane laga,

gam teri judaai ka ab baya kis se kare,
jo naam tera meri tapish se jalane laga,

kash zindagi lamha bhar ejajat de deti,
bejan aankho se ab paimana chhalakne laga,

virano ko tujhse rubaru to hona hi tha raj,
apane hi dil ko tu ab begana lagne laga.

yun dard mein yaadein milakar kya karoge raj

waha pe jaa ke ab kya karoge raj,
har kism ke sapno se milkar kya karoge raj?

mana ke sinne mein lagi aag bujhti hi nahi,
yun sholo ko hawa dekar kya karoge raj?

woh jiski koi izzat nahi jaha mein,
girebaan uska pakardkar kya karoge raj?

ghar ki dahliz langhane ki izazat tumhein nahi,
yun khidkiyo se baar baar jhak kar kya karoge raj?

budhe neem ki tarah jo tujhe chord ker chali gayi,
parindo se uska haal puchkar kya karoge raj?

pahale hi itna dard hai, ab aur gam chahate ho,
yun dard mein yaadein milakar kya karoge raj?

someday I would want to be a kid again

someday I would want to go back to those days,
where I had a bit more time at the end of each day
the time we friends used to sit on the streets
pulling legs, cracking jokes, watching birds

the way they used to pull me,
and I despite of flaming inside

behaved as nothing happened…

someday I would want to be a kid again,
playing in the park which was the muddiest
cycling on the street where all the water had filled
running to catch the kite on the neighbor's roof

bunking the tuitions playing cricket, volleyball
on being tired, putting the head on my mom’s lap
and just close my eyes to this world.

but don't ask me to go back to those exam days,
the ring of that alarm still haunts me.

someday I would want to take some time out for myself,
would plan a better start to a day, 

rather than just waking up and running to office,
a better end to the day, 

than leaving some coding in between,
and dreaming about that only

I would just not go to work some day
without having to explain to anyone, 

without some work, just for fun.

some other day, 

I would want to be that young at heart again,
the eyes would glitter at the sight of a new face,
that nervousness in starting a conversation,
that concern about the hairstyle and clothing.

someday, I would again flaunt my 16 again,
without caring who’s gonna mind, who’s not
but then after that day, 

I would come back to this life of mine
as a lot of handwork has gone into earning this too
this is where I always wanted to be,

and still there is distance to be covered
I will keep moving on,
thou I would want some more time in a day,
so that I can sleep more and not feel tired in the office hours.

kya hum un par kabhi vishwas kar payenge

bikhar gaye hum unse pyar karke,
kya hum kabhi simat payenge,

tord diya dil unhone shisha samjhkar,
kya hum is dil ko kabhi jord payenge,

chale gaye humein woh tannha chordkar,
kya hum unhein apni zindagi mein wapas la payenge,

agar woh aa gaye zindagani mein wapas hamari,
kya hum un par kabhi vishwas kar payenge..

apne rashton ko tannha chupi se saja rakha hai

ajeeb sawal uthe hain humari ladkhadati huyi chal ke upar,
kaise batayen hum ki paaon ke niche sholon ko chupa rakha hai,

dikhayenge nahi kabhi in tajja chhalon ko hum,
yeh to woh gum hai jinhein seense se laga rakha hai,

kaise girayen un deewaron ko jo hain dil ke aas pas,
inhone hi to is bedard duniya se ab tak bacha rakha hai,

kaise batlaye hum apne gum ki paidasih ko aaj,
ke zuban ko mile dhokon ne gunga bana rakha hai,

chord jate hain humsafar bhi bure waqt me saath apna,
jo apne raston ko tannha chupi se saja rakha hai,

gum ke badal rehte nahi,

kushiyon ki kirne jaroor milengein,
in jhoote waadon se kismat ne humein latka rakha hai.

har kushi se apna daman bachane lage

kitni fariyaadein jurdi thi har ek kushi ke saath,
chand kushiyon ko sameet kar apni zindagi mein hum sajjane lage,

kush the hum bahot apne iss chote se chaman mein,
ke jane kaisa mausam aaya aur sab phool ek ek karke murjhane lage,

lak koshishe ki apni iss bahar ko bachane ki humne,
par kismat ke khel.. jo kaante haaton mein chubhane lage,

aanshoon bahate gaye yuh apne armano ki maut dekh kar,
shayad tabse hi hum har kushi se apna daman bachane lage.

bewafai ko main wafa se apne chupata chalu

bewafa hi sahi humdum mera, 

par shikwa main kyu karu?

uss chaand ko hi dekh kar jeeta na kyu rahu?

kya hua jo dil ko mere ruswaiyan mili,
lakhon hain jinko ishq mein tanhayian mili,

par zindagi ka sath chordna bhi jurm hai,
in chalti huyi saanson ko tordna bhi jurm hai,

to kyu na main naya koi mukkam banata chalu,
uska naam leke zindagi ka sath nibhata chalu,

pyar mein kuch haasil kerne ki zid to waise bhi na thi,
bewafai ko main wafa se chupata na kyu chalu?

par har dua mein sanam tera hi naam tha humne basaya

aashkon se dil pe likha tera naam hai mithaya,
roshni mile mujhe.. 

waisa pyar ka deepak na tumse paya,

kahi chand kirno ki khatir kuch kho na de hum,
isslyie aaj andhero se humne gabrana chord diya,

tum nahi ho kismat mein mere is baat se apne dil ko hai behelaya,
kitni bar khwabon mein bhi..

takdeer ko apni bebasi se hai manaya,

kahi dokhe mein na kat jaye yeh zindagi humari,
isslyie aaj naumeed tassaliyon se sapne pirona chord diya,

tere saath ki khwaish nahi yeh hai duniya ko dikhaya,
par har dua mein sanam tera hi naam tha humne basaya,

kahi khuda na pareshan ho jaye meri kash-m-kash mein,
isslyie aaj duayein mang kar khuda ko satana bhi chord diya.

main darta hun ek din kahi ye dil dhadakana naa chord de

main darta hun ek din kahi ye phool mehakana naa chord de,
main darta hun ek din kahi ye bhanware gungunana naa chord de,

thokaro ne aise aise nishaaniya chordi hain chahere pe mere,
main darta hun ek din kahi yeh hoth mushkuraana naa chord de,

ab to aadat si ho gayi hai, rishta bhi purana ho chuka hai,
main darta hun ek din kahi ye aankh rona naa chord de,

duniya waalo ki sunte sunte ek aise makaam par pahuch gaya main,
main darata hun ek din kahi ye zubaan bolana naa chord de,

duniya ne to nahi apanaaaya, par ab to khuda ne bhi thukaraaya,
main darta hun ek din kahi yeh dil us par aitabaar karna naa chord de,

barda hi naazuk hai phir bhi sab zakham hi diye jaa rahe hain log,
main darta ho ek din kahi yeh dil dhadakana naa chord de,

shukr hai khuda ka ki usne mujhko aur haatho se to baksh diya,
main darta hun ek din kahi ye haath likhana naa chord de.

aakhir kya hai parmanu parikshan

charon aur phaili si kyon ashanti hai?
dhuan kyon aaj uth raha hai?

kya hua tha bahattar saal pahle?
kyon japan ke log rahte hain sehme sahme?

pahle to nishashtra ka shor macha,
lekin phir bhi bamon ka dhamaka hua,

mare gaye kyon itne log, kya tha inka dosh?
sirf ek parmanu ke piche manav kho raha apne hosh,

main poochun kya manav ke liye parmanu parikchan jaruri tha?
nahi, yah to america ka unchaa uthne ka hord hi tha.

maatam kyon chaya tha japan mein hi?
yaaron! parmanu parikchan hua bhi to japan mein hi.

maut ka tandav ho raha hai aaj manav jaati par,
parmanu yug aaj nacha raha hai manav jati ko apne hathon par,

sirf ek khilouna bankar rah gaya hai aaj manav,
jisko khata ja raha hai, parmanu bam bankar danav,

kyon insaan kho raha apni insaaniyat ko?
kyon apne mein utar raha haiwaniyat ko?

kyon hota hai shanti sammelan?
kyon khate hain yeh waqt ki belan?

aakhir kya hai parmanu parikshan,
jiska hota hai har waqt nirikshan..

Happy Friendship Day

jo wada kiya hai dosti mein tumne,
ussi wafadari se nibana tum,

agar toot gaya wada to tootega mera dil,
tumhein hum apna samajhte hain,

gair humko na banana tum,

door to hain par tere dil ki baat sun hi lete hai,
humare hote huye gum ke aanshon na bahana tum,

jane kab tak ka saath hai jane kab bichard jaye,
rahenge tere dil me humesha,

khud ko akhele na pana tum.

Happy Friendship Day !!

jaagte khwaab dikhaaye mujhko

kaash woh phirse bulaayein mujhko,
phir wahi sheir sunaaye mujhko,

jab bhi baahoun mein mujhe neend aaye,
jaagte khwaab dikhaaye mujhko,

raat ke baad jab subha aaye,
roo-b-roo jaagte paayein mujhko,

mein unhein dekhun, woh mujhe dekhein,
apne saaye-sa banaaye mujhko,

kaan mein, paas aake chupke se,
baatein raaz ki bataaye mujhko,

ho mithi mithi nok jhok, phir pyaar dher sara,
khud ruthe phirbhi manaye mujhko,

sapno mein sair karein taaroun tak,
khud uthein, aur uthaayein mujho,

saakhi ban rahein kayamat tak,
jaam dar jaam aankhon se pilayein mujhko,

mein rahun jis jagah, wahi ho woh,
har lamhein roo-b-roo laaye mujhko,

ab log chaahe na chaahein mujhko,
woh magar har lamhein chaahein mujhko.

just you my one and only you

my love for you is like a river,
you never know what’s around the corner,
or what’s inside it,
but I do know one thing about it,
it is forever yours.

so please keep it within your heart and
cherish it for the rest of your life,
if you do not then it will have to break,

for it is you that lies deep within-side it,
so without you here with me
I am no longer a whole,
I am just an empty soul.

for it is you I love,
my one and only.
I will cherish you, hold you, and protect you,
when you are scared.

but I just want to let you know that I am
always here for you and I always will
be for the rest of our lives together.

if I were to die tomorrow,
whether it be sad or happy,
you know that I love you from the bottom of my soul, 

where this poem came from.

I love u so much my heart aches with pain,
I can feel my love for you,

pulsing passionately through my veins.

I don’t want money or satisfaction of my desires,
nor to let you fall and me not be there to catch you when you land.

I don’t want you to look like a fool,
for this feeling for you is truly genuine and always will.

it is all these things I do not need,
just your love, comfort and you dedicated soul,
its only these I need,
to keep myself whole,

just these things,
nothing else,
just you, my one and only you.

one almighty in all forms

divine lord of Gita advises all to live life of yoga
profit or loss, success or failure, joy or sorrow,

never be too happy or too sorrowful in the extremes of life
to wade through the woes of life and the worries of the world,

with the knowledge of the self, world, nature and God
restraining one's desire, passion, avarice and jealousy,

use intelligence to understand the world and act in life
for the service of the poor, which is really love in action!

following honest policy only in the execution of ideas
non-attached to material benefits, comforts and power,

as desired by the romantic almighty in the form of nature
one realizes one almighty in all forms of manifestations.

love and non-attachment almighty has advised to follow
buddha formulated non-attachment to solve all worries,

jesus formulated love to live with no enemies in the world,
and gandhi formulated non-violence to achieve one world.

so, non-attachment, non-violence and non-alignment are for
achieving political, social and cultural freedom in the world.

attaining all for giving them to all is culture and divine love,
the only means to free oneself from all bondages to nirvana!

life vs death

life is power, life is love, life is hate,
life is a un-predictable thing of living,

on this life subtance that is joined of death,

death is that five letter word that was joined to,

that four lettered word life,

death is an over powering subtance of life,

that one person will feel at least a few times in a life-time,
life is a dramatic feature of the circle of life.

if only you could read my tears

they do talk,
but they reveal too much,
they are not hidden,
just wiped away by your gentle touch.

they’d exclaim, “I’ am happy!”
whenever you are around,

they’d sigh, “I’m sad!”
when I am  feeling down.

they do talk
won’t you listen?
you just might find,
what you have been missing’!

they did reply, “I am lonely!”
when I am thinking of you.

is it too late for you to see
that my tears cry out “I love you!”

they do talk but you can’t hear
a single word they’d say.

if only you could read a tear
instead of wiping it away!
