GIRLS LIKE YOU ALL

I want to marry a woman who is smarter;

More than me.

I want to marry a woman who is ambitious;

More than me.

I want to marry a woman who is funnier;

More than me.

I want to marry a woman who is selfless;

More than me.

I want to marry a woman who is better;

in every possible aspect of life,

More than me.

Is it too much to ask? 

I was brought up in a house where the culture is such.  

Yes, my father used to think;

my mother doesn’t know about the tech stuff much. 

But it was she who learnt to make a video call first. 

Coz she had that thirst. 

To learn and not lag behind. 

Just in case she has to be bread earner of the house. 

And play the roles other than a spouse. 

Yet, she is afraid of the mouse. 

But reassures us whenever a doubt may arouse. 

So I leave you all with this question to think

Do you want this? 

Because I would marry someone like this in a blink.

माँ

वो जो दूर खड़ी आँखों में आंसू लिए मुस्कुरा रही है। 

उसे बस इस बात की तस्साली है की मैं खुश हूँ। 

उसने अपनी सारी उम्र मेरी ख़ुशी में खुश होके निकाल दिया।   

वो जो दूर खड़ी आँखों में आंसू और होटों पे मुस्कान लिए दुआएं दे रही हैं। 

उसे बस इस बात की तस्सली है की उसकी दुआयें काम कर गयी।  

उसने अपनी सारी उम्र मुझे दुआयें देने में ही निकाल दी। 

वो जो दूर खड़ी आँखों में आंसूं और होटों पे मुस्कान लिए झोला पकड़ के खड़ी है। 

तुम जाके देख लो उसे आज भी तो एक ठन्डे पानी की बोतल और एक बिस्किट का पैकेट मिलेगा।  

उसने अपनी सारी उम्र इस झोले को भरने में ही निकाल दी है। 

अब तुम ही बताओ कोई कैसे मुँह मोड़ सकता है। 

कोई कैसे इन आशाओं को तोड़ सकता है। 

कोई कैसे इतना कठोर हो सकता है की मूड के भी न देखें।  

कोई चिड़िया कैसे उसके आँगन में न चेहके। 

क्या हुआ गर इसने कोई ज़िद पूरी नहीं की तुम्हारी। 

क्या हुआ गर मारा तुम्हे इसने तुम्हारी भलाई क लिए। 

क्या हुआ गर दूर कर दिया खुदसे तुम्हारे सपनो को पंख देने के लिए। 

तुम समझते हो की इसने वो साल बहुत ख़ुशी में जिए है 

तो तुम गलत हो। 

मेरी मनो तो अब भी समय है पलट लो। 

के कही कल देर न हो जाये। 

यह इंसान तुमसे कही दूर हो जाये।  

और तुम हाथ मलते रहना और अपनी किस्मत को कोसते हुए कहना। 

के एक बार तो अपने गले से लगा जा। 

इन आंसुओं को रोकने का तरीका बता जा 

तू एक बार। 

बस एक बार माँ मुझे चुप करने के लिए आजा।  

THE BRUSH

The brush mixed 

with the colours,

and started running; 

with my stroke.

I was taking some time where,

I was trying to explain my goals;

to the brush.

It takes time,

to draw the track but 

as the brush was losing the colour 

the track was getting invisible, 

It is then the canvas shout and

The brush was thud 

to which it jumps in the colours.

As the tape of the track was getting close, 

This time colours were getting finish,

It looked as if they are done

the brush started to jump 

as fast as possible and 

as the same is important 

the brush started 

making the track full with puddles

And in the last stroke 

The track tape saw visible 

but as I was watching my location 

the track was full of invisible huddles. 

Now I don't know should 

I held my head high on the brush 

or just break it down.

The Three Words

Sand may be washed by sea

It was minor misinterpretation.

No one knew it could ignite

a new,

yet beautiful relation,

Between you and me.

You stormed in like a breeze

and settled in my conscious with ease.

I would urge you

to stay longer, please.

Your voice is refreshing

and full of life

I wish for you nothing

but happiness and joy in rife.

I would never want to see

a drop of tear in your eyes.

I will never tell you any lies.

Whatever I have told you

is cent percent true.

I was holding back for long

The three words

On the tip of my tongue

Was not to be spoken

or sung

or whispered

to anyone

till I scream

on the top of my lung

and say that I love you.

Faces

The faces just changed,

But the stories are ranged;

Still no one is getting engaged,

With all the clones,

Even when all the bones;

Are still the same. 

No, they aren’t expecting fame;

All they want is game,

With the transparent rules;

Rather than, it being opaque.

The pits are deep,

That scares the creep;

All we want it to be melded along,

So that the cup is held for years;

Even when we hear the shatters. 

The faces just changed.

But they covered the tanged

Statements,

that may just corner the face;

This is what every world doesn’t expect. 

The faces just changed and are

Waiting for the way to get arranged

And are taken out of the barrage.

That currently looks like we are caged.

The faces just changed.

अमीन

वो जो तुमसे कुछ बातें

अभी तक करनी बाक़ी है। 

उन्हें कब करने का मौक़ा मिलेगा

इसका कोई अनुमान नहीं। 

फिर भी हर रोज़ इस उमीद मे,

उठता हु की हो सकता है,

की आज वो मौक़ा मिल जाए,

पर हर बार वो रह जाता है। 

वो परसों जब तुम्हारी आशियाना की तरफ़,

जा रहा था कि रास्ते में पूरी गाड़ी उलट गयी। 

मुझे लगा की मेरा मौक़ा,

आगे के लिए बंद हो जाएगा। 

पर ऐसा लगा की जैसे,

तुम्हारी अमीन मुझे रुकवा गयी। 

अब हालात यह है की,

वो जो बातें करनी थी मानो,

अपना रास्ते को खो गयी। 

मैं इस बात से ग़ुस्सा नहीं हु,

अपने आपको समझाया इस तरह मैंने,

की मानो तुम्हारी अमीन ने वो बातें,

सुनके ही मुझे रुकवाया था। 

अब जब उन बातों को सुन चुकी हो

अपनी अमीन के साथ,

तो मिलना इतना ज़रूरी नहीं है अब,

बस वो अमीन मेरी तरफ़ भेज दिया करना हर रोज़।

तस्वीर

मैंने आज वो folder 

आख़िर delete कर दिया।

मैंने उसे कयी परतों में छिपा रखा था।

भारी मन से उस भरी हुए folder को,

हटा काफ़ी जगह बना ली है मैंने।

कयी सालों से क़ैद था मानो,

कुछ विडीओज़ ओर वो अनगिनत तस्वीरें।

वो जिसमें तुमने अपनी पीठ की तिल की

तस्वीर भेजी थी उसे भी delete कर दिया।

मैं जानता हु तुम कह नहीं पाती पर,

यही चाहती की मै उन्हें delete कर दूँ।

मुझे मालूम है तुम्हें भरोसा है,

की नीलाम नहीं करूँगा तुम्हें भरे बाज़ार में,

बस तुम्हें बताना था की बेफ़िकर हो जाओ अब।

वो हाथ जो हर महीने की 21 को

मेहँदी से रंग कर भेजती थी तुम

उन्हें भी delete कर दिया है।

बस कुछ तस्वीरें रखीं है हमारी पहली की

कुछ और इस आख़री मुलाक़ात की

उन्हें भी हटा दूँगा मैं बहुत जल्द।

पर वो फ़ोटो जो मेरे दिमाग़ की परतों मे

छपी हुई है उसे delete कर पाना 

इस जन्ममे तो नामुमकिन सा लग रहा हैं।

मेरी ज़िन्दगी

दर्द काग़ज़ पर मेरा बिकता रहा,

मैं बेचैन था,

रात भर लिखता रहा।

छूँ रहे थै सब बुलंदिया आसमान की

मैं सितारों के बीच,

चाँद की तरह छिपता रहा।

अकड़ होती,

तो कब का टूट गया होता मैं,

मैं था नाज़ुक डाली,

जो सबके आगे झुकता रहा।

बदले इनही लोगों ने,

रंग अपने अपने ढंग से,

रंग मेरा भी निखरा पर,

मैं मेहंदी की तरह पिसता रहा।

जिनको जल्दी थी,

वो बढ़ चलें मंज़िल की ओर,

मैं किनारा हुआ करता था कभी,

समंदर ने है मुझे पी लिया।

मैं समंदर के राज़ गहराई मे छुपाता रहा।

ज़िंदगी कभी भी ले सकती है करवट,

तू गुमान ना कर।

बुलंदिया छूँ हज़ार,

मगर उसके लिये कोई गुनहा ना कर।
बेतुके झगड़े,

कुछ इस तरह ख़त्म कर दिया मैंने।

जहाँ ग़लती नहीं भी थी मेरी,

वहाँ भी हाथ जोड़ माफ़िया माँग लिया मैंने।

A Writer On Loose....

Go run. 

Run and take cover. 

There is a writer on loose. 

Don't let him borrow,

Hide away your sorrow,

There is a writer on loose.

Don't become his muse

and let him use, your story. 

There is a writer on loose.

He hasn't slept all night

He may end up using his own plight. 

There is a writer on loose.

His lungs are filled with smoke

He comes across as a tough bloke. 

There is a writer on loose.

He has a bottle of bourbon in hand

The label is on the bottle is torn but

appears to be a cheap brand. 

There is a writer on loose.

The alcohol subsides the pain

His cast is clean but clothes have stain 

There is a writer on loose

He is all set to cruise 

Ready to be a muse. 

There is a writer on loose.

I AM LOST !!

I want you to come looking

for me, I am lost!

In this deserted land 

where, I am lost!

The sun does not cast shadows

here, I am lost!

The stars hunt under the sky

so clear, I am lost!

I am famished and exhausted

entirely, I am lost!

I have been feeding upon my flesh

for long, I am lost!

All I am left with is this tongue 

singing the song, I am lost!

If you find me don't take me home

please, I am lost!

Bury me in this barren land under

the sand, I am lost!

And instead of tomb stone put a sign

that reads, I am lost!

FOREVER....

Thinking about you, 

Every moment of the day;

Thinking of something,
I could say.
To tell you,
How much I Love You;
So if I could just;
Just;

I don't know how?
I love you so much
It’s so hard to explain
But I do 

and it drives me insane,
to not have you;
and to feel this way,
It’s really hard,
I miss you babe;
You my love,
You are my everything;
My light, my world, my dream, my sweet girl.
I love everything about you;
Everything and more,
I love the lil' things you do,
which I so much adore,
Never,

Never will I find anyone;
close to you.
Never will I ever want;
to replace you,
I want you, 

only you forever;
Thats my need,
Don't want it any other way
I’ll beg on my knees,
cause its hard enough,
not having you now;
But in my heart,
your safe 

And sound you my dear;
My hug bear.
Everything I love about you;

Even today.
I swear
and if true love feels this way
then I'm drowning in a pool of it everyday.
I miss you my love;
Wishing that your were here,
So I could whisper one thing into your ear,
That would be so true and I would say that
I will be love you forever.
