Koi Aisa Dost

Koi aisi dost ban jaati phir waise 

Jo hasate huye khushi ke aasoon mein zaya kar deti thi har gum mera

Koi aisa dost ban jaata phir waise 

Jo na sochta tha na samjhta tha kya sochoon main

Bas keh deta tha khul ke har sapna mera

Koi aisi dost ban jaati phir waise 

Jo meri har khushi ko dugna karde

Party karke ya ga ke woh favorite gaana mera

Kuch simple si baatein 

Ya phir woh pyari si mulakatein 

Kuch sanjoye se pal

Ya phir thhake humare

Bas yaadein hain 

Aur ek umeed

Ki ek dost mil jaye

Ya phir woh pal

Jab hum tum aur bas ek Tasveer se nikli mulaquat mil jaye

Dedicated to my irreplaceable friends!

Kya woh mera Aks hi tha?

Humne to suni thi ek aahat laga tha tum ho…

Woh to mera aks nikla,

Jo keh gaya bas main hi tumhare saath hoon...

Dhoondh sako to dhoondh lo

Main hi tumhari talaash hoon…aas hoon…aawaaz hoon…

Thukra diya maine apne aks ko…

Kho gaya woh kahin…

Kehta tha rahega saath hamesha…

Keh chala woh kahin…

Ab dhoondhoon to bhi milta nahin hai woh…

Kehta nahin hai woh…suntan nahin hai woh…

Woh talaash abhi bhi hoti hai…

Woh dastak abhi bhi hoti hai…

Par chala gaya mera aks kahin..

Yeh aas abhi bhi roti hai…

Virtually Intependent "I"

To This morning I rise

To see the light falling in my eyes

To strengthen my hopes for the day

An Independent “I” am awake...

And everyday I rise up to you

The light sparkles in my eyes

But the hopes vanish

The Virtually Independent I sleep away…

I promised I will be free

I promised I will rule thy me

I promised I’d mould the clay

But the restless I still await…

To morph freedom in my errands

To play the role where I am

To walk the walk everybody talks

To show the world that I rock!

To wake up this morning where I will be free

To conquer this land where I will rule thy me

To envision this hope I will mould the clay

The Independent “I” will awake!

Rang De............

Range de in color of Happiness
Rang de in shades of Love
Rang de in wings of Trust
Range de in spirit of Freedom

Rang de har lafz ko
Rang de har zarre ko
Rang de apni khwaishon ko

Mujhe rang de
Khud ko rang de
Rang de is jahan ko

Apna le in rangon ko
Khushi se jhoom ja

Muskura le
Phir keh le

Rang De.......

Happy Holi!!!!!!

Some People To Stay FoReVeR…..???

Some people come into your life and…and you just want them to stay…stay forever, but somehow they are the ones who’ll leave you for sure, (yes yes I know exceptions are always there and they are most welcomed :) ) I just wanna know the reason why???

Reasons are many, but out of those will I find an answer to my question, well...let’s try!

One possibility is, may be there is something lacking in our efforts, but actually speaking do we need to put efforts for people to stay? I think we do, but on the contrary a relationship which needs efforts to be built, is it a true relationship?

Another one! May be we don’t get what we want or really desire for…that reminds me of some beautiful lines:

          “Tamanna ne zindagi ke aanchal mein 
                sar rakhkar kaha

                Main kab poori hoongi…?

            To zindagi ne pyar se muskurakar kaha

            Jo poori ho jaye
                woh tamanna hi kya?”              

Well this can be one eligible candidate amongst all others…and yes a strong contender. But still, on further speculation I realized that life moves on people come and people go but life life moves on…But no this isn’t an answer to my question, yes, I agree that life moves on irrespective of the people who come and go but tell me isn’t there any difference between having the one’s around you whom you want and on the other hand having those who are just there not for your sake but just for the sake of being there….there is indeed a big difference i.e. the life you live by choice and the life you live by chance and here lies the difference which can make you live your life or just survive…

So I know that I want to live my life (remember…:)…LiFe Is BeAuTiFul!!!), I want to have my loved one’s around me everlastingly…but I want one more thing I want every stranger I come across to give me that comfort which I’ll definitely revert, I want friends around me and no enemies…so that I want all of them to “stay” for a second…for a minute…for an hour…for a day…for a month…for a year…and forever…time immemorial…because I want to live…J!!!

HURRICANE OF ENIGMA

Enigma??? A fancy word for saying that I have no way to decide what is right for me and what isn’t. So large a word can be in one’s life….so important…so vulnerable…misguiding…disingenuous…and at the same time an aid…a crutch…a prop…for the unknown…a mean to let the unknown retain its anonymous existence. So many facets of a single word….constituting a myriad of roles…inhibiting one’s own self…shredding obscurity...in life!

Illusion, kin of its dearest anonymity, is actually the origin of its better half. We live in a world made by our desires & fancies and in doing so get entrapped in a series of doubts and qualms which when looked for harvest cater nothing but a set of endless acquisitions…which in reality don’t have an existence…and lead to the derailment of fabricated hopes....hopes that were actually just mere illusions.

Hallucinations of our desires can only serve as means to a life full of restless storms and blizzards, which actually is a state of perplexing each step towards the journey of life.

So what should be done? Should we stop giving our innate desires a form…at least in those beautiful dreams….or let me put it more appropriately ….should we stop living?

The answer blossoms in one simple avowal, “dream if you can make it a reality”, now this sounds a bit too pessimistic isn’t it? That’s life…if you want to keep out yourself from the circling of the hurricane…stay out of its circumference…else the world of enigma welcomes you with its arms wide open, but yes don’t stop living the miracle called L*I*F*E.
