ILTIJA...........

Zindagi  milee  hame   khude  se,
Dua  karo   ye  guzre  pyaar  se
Na   karo  yun  shikwe- shikayate..
Lado  na  yun  apne  hee  khoon  se;
Thak  jaoge  tum   ant  se  pehle  -
Ab  to  baat  maano   ekraar  se;
Kya  tumne  kabhi  socha  tha  ?
ik  din  aisa  aayega ;
Laaye   thaey  jise  duniya  mein
Seench  ke  apne  hee  khoon  se
Tumse   hee voh   juda  ho  jayega;
Jaane  bhee  do  eis  aham  ko;
Na   yeh  kaam  aayega
Eis   tarah   to  khoon,  khoon  se-
Aur   bhee  duur   ho  jayega !!

MANZAR .......!!!!!!!!!!

Bayabaan   syaah  raat  mein   jagmagaate  jugnu
Jaise   falak   se   sitarein   utre   hon  zameen   pe;
Ae   khuda   hua  jo tu  itnaa  meherbaan  ,
Aaya  paas  manzar  mere  , dekha  jo  kabhi  door  se -
Kaise  karein  tujhse  ab  shikwa o  gila ;,
Milte  na  jo mujhe  naseeb  mein  kaheen
Dikhayee  aaj  diye  behad  kareeb  se!!!

Wafaa....

Hame  kasam  hai  us  Khuda  ki ;
hum   mayoos  na  honge
zindagi   tum  kar  lo  hairaan ;
palkein  bhichaye baetheinge  umr guzarne -talak
kab  tak  na  aayegi  roshni   bahare -chilman  se
uf  na  kareinge  
har  aah   saheinge
sath  hai  tera   jaane -mehboobi
kab  talak  na  milegi  wafa
kab  tak  raheinge  mehroom  ;
Wo to  khud  ko  khuda  samajh  baethey
par  insaan se bhi  kamzor  nikle !
karte  hain ibaadat  hum bhi ,
Butparasti  bhi
hai  yakeen  dagaaphul  na  hoga ,
shaa mein -umr  hone  tak
Kabhi   to  sharminda  hoge  khud  pe ,
pashe-ma   karmonsitam  pe
hoge  yakeenan  bechain ,
Neendo  se  uthoge chOnk ke,
Tumne  Khuda  banna  chaha  tha ,
pehle  insaan  to  ban  jaate !!
kar lo  hairaan  zindagi ,
kabhi  to  wafa  karoge.
  

Tazurbe ,......

Zindagi ek dard
jise  sahna  mushkil,
zindagi ek kannte ke muafik,
jiski chubhan
har lamha, ek nayee
manzil ki or
chalne ka ahsas karati......
                                              (1984)



Zindagi  mein  insaan ko na jaane
Kitni  rahon se guzarna padta hai
Wo sangdil  rahein , wo mushkilein ,wo shak ki nighaein
Aur  phir;
Unse peecha chudhao bhi to
Ek  baar  phir
Usi  modh pe jake pahunch  jaata hai
Wo  khamoshi , wo intazaari ,wo  raahtaki .
                                                                     (1984)



Do  pal  ki  zindagi
ek   pal  ki intzaari
bacha  samay
samajhne   samjhaane  mein .
                                                                (1984)


Muhabbhat , ekraar ,pyaar
ek  ahsaas  ,   alag- alag  naam
ek   roop  ,  alag- alag  rang,
kisi  ko khokar ho;
Ya -
kisi ko apna kar.
                                                                  (1984)

Reh  gayeen bateein ,  beeti  bateein ,
chulbuli  bateein , wo mutmayeen  rateein ,
guzre pal , khamosh pal ,
har pal ,kal - kal ,
Toota  tasubur , bhikhri  yadeein
Adhoori  bateein , ankahi  rateein .
                                                                (1984)

Zindagi   mein  ek  thokar  lagi
Aaeeyana  choor-choor  gaya
Chehra  surkh  lahoo jum sa  gaya
Aaj  wo arz  kartein hain,
Hum  paraye hue,
Aaj  humko  hi   hamara  sabab  mil  gaya .
                                                                 (1991)


Wo  bachpan  ki  yaadein
wo  machalna ,  ithlana
Yaad  aa aa jaata hai
Apne  paraye ho jaane ke  sath -sath.
                                                                (1991)



Kash   !  wo   kuch   to  sochte
apne  hee  dastkaari   numayinde
ko  paraye karne se pehle .

" Ek Mannat "

Kyu  hai  kashmkash, Kyu hain sawaal par sawaal ;
Hain  kyu  raahein ubad - khabad ;
Milte  nahi  jawaab;
Chal rahein hain kabse chalte hi ja rahein hain,
Deekha  hi  nahi  padaow;
Pal bhar ki chaon paeee
Adhure hi  rahe khawab ;
Tapish ki tap sahne ke liye
Phir se hum nikal pade
Ae  Khuda tu de hi de
Ankhen moonde,mere jawaab;
Talaash ko ho ab ant ;
Ho kashmkash khatm;
karein ab to mahphoos -
Dhoop aur baarish se;
Zamaane ki sangdili se;
Bas phir na hum yun chalenge;
Hum to bas basenge !
hum to bas basenge.

Enough Is Enough

When is enough Enough ?
Silence  long   stretchful...
Pain numb...recurring;
Sighs  ocean deep;endless.
Deep red wounded hearts; scaly;
Scarring  one  forever-
Enduring  all through  life's summer
Thus life moves on ;
Shallow, empty from morn to eve;
only to sleep and eat ; Oh ! yes
It  lures one to be a little thrifty ;
Once in a while,
Otherwise;
It's one big burden ; too wholesome-
Throw into the waters as a waste
Watch it rise,
As the dirty froth- unwanted; undesirable
Often enough is never enough !
Pain to be swallowed much more,
Strength to be awakened gradually;
Build it up !
For  enough is never Enough .

POKING

Well as the title suggests , it can be so pinching ! yes this is what I am trying to convey through this small write up . Isn't it amazing we have all the time in the world to pry into somebody's life. XYZee has not done his/hers work or maybe there's something wrong with the relationship there we go beserk spilling it all out . Do we really care for anyone's feeling? All we concentrate is our maximum advantage and the euphoric thrill that accompanies it . Somewhere we are besotted with the game of who's one up .In the process we end up spreading bitterness around us . Poking comes in varied forms , it could range from a simple needling to the extent of going through a harrowing experience of facing embarrassment and self humiliation . So much so that , if one doesnot keep his defences ready then he/she may keep falling victim to the prey ! How do we go about treating it ? Well in my opinion , the best way would be , not to give any opportunity to these POKERS We will have to be on guard from these onlookers who behave very sweet and sugary

Corporal Punishment

The recent news of a student of prestigious school, La Martiniere ,Kolkata having committed suicide is shocking ! The boy belonged to an affluent background , and was just a budding teenager. We belong to an era where teaching is co-related to psychological handling ; Gone are the days when caning was seen to be the only solution to discipline children,and parents too, would take the side of the school authorities in equally condemning the child ! with the whole purpose of disciplining.







Today its more important to train the young minds with patience and analysing their behavioural traits, their aptitudes and inclinations with a positive and motivating perspective. It has been proved time and again that morale boosting , positive and non -restrictive approach in teaching leads to amazing results where the students follow their respective curriculums in a much organised and methodical manner.






It has been seen that excessive strict measures have resulted in creating personalities which are shy and at times distorted too!They grow up wih feelings of revenge and animosity,and are often misfit in the society. I ,personally feel that these children, who are the future generation of our nation should be dealt with aiming towards positivity and loads of love, attention which they constantly seek and certainly not any kind of oil soaked caning effects which leaves a scar on their souls and minds for ever.






Government should enforce strict measures against corporal punishment of any sort.It's the 21st century ,Sir and we are supposed to forge ahead with brilliant young minds and create an environment where indepedent thinking is appreciated , talent recognised and applauded too!

"SHADYANTRA"(CONSPIRACY )

I saw the latest movie 'RAJNEETI' and was amazed at the powerful screenplay ,the manner in which the script had been weaved from our mythological 'MAHABHARATA' into modern day to day incidents that we all are witness to in our lives.It's true that in every yug mahabharta will be repeated ; Whether it's the field of politics,where ambitions ride high on every branch or the modern corporate world or our internal ,personal and private family world .







Wherever ambitions aim higher than the self ,one will invariably find jealousy as it's consort; Well when jealousy is companion then conspiracies are never far behind.We see them in our very own families ,close at home; Someone or the other is always there to ruffle the smooth legacy left back. Power., control over monetary issues or the reigns of household activities are few factors for the framework of shadyantra in family units. How does it matter if the next generation is imbibing the same set of values ,it certainly does not ,when it would matter by that time things will be on a different level.






Apart from this ,one more thing is the outcome of such shadyantra and rajneeti ;which is revenge, animosity, cheating on a large agenda and hatred.One never realises that peace of mind , love and trust are all lost and people get deprived of them altogether.Net result and outcome is only fragmentation of relationships and loss of sanity.






Will the outlook of each one of us would change ? or we will continue to hanker for more in search of insatiable desire and hunger ?

Happiness

What a pleasure it was to get in touch with my old acquaintances ,no expectations ,no justifications and certainly no explanations as to why there was such a long silence! Simple happiness could be felt seated miles away from each other. How i wish life also would be so simpler, no hassles and no complications. Why people have to fake about everything ,talk of tall ambitions which are also just for the sake of portraying something ?It would certainly be worthwhile if we were just ourselves , if we let others see the real us instead of becoming something else then automatically everything will be falling in place. Let people come to meet us for our actual real selves and not for the so called worldly possessions that we may have! Let love flourish unconditonally ,friends having no expectations and no superficial status please!

Miracles

Divine help or miracles they are always happening in ones life you have to be sensitive enough to feel those blessings being bestowed on you. Yes we need to recognize and accept them .Its indeed a wonder how and in which way positive energy flows and surrounds people who are mentally attuned with each other. Once again its a simple case of like attracts like! There are days when we are striving hard to reach our target goals but all we face is sheer disappointment and suddenly lo! behold , out of nothing something comes up and we sail through smoothly. All along i will always maintain that self belief is a must;'DEV ICCHA' or God's wish only happens if there is 'SWA ICCHA' meaning self desire . Speaking of desire is a wide and varied thing because each to his own !Out of the blue seeing a rainbow in the sky is a miracle we all have been blessed with some time or the other .Yes i'm talking of the small -small bountiful booties which are showered on us on almost everyday basis count your blessings one by one . At the end of the day its Karma as we sow so shall we reap! So i end today 'HAPPY COUNTING'.

Relationships

in this fast moving jetage,somehow relationships ar e taking a backseat money and more money is the moolmantra today i'm not at all surprised that bloodties hold no significance, its money that talks honey! So you will have friends for what you have n not for what you are! Communication is missing one generation ahead it was not as if everyone got along well with eachother all the time it was just that they followed to agree to disagree in a civilised way.

Disagreements were voiced and sorted nowadays too,disagreements are voiced and they sure are voiced out!Nobody is bothered about another its a race against time! remember money !that's all that matters.Gone are the days when Love Thy Neighbour maxim prevailed today its owner's pride neighbour's envy! Let's pause for a while in our lives take time to communicate with our near and dear ones, appreciate one another's virtues ,think of all the concrete jungle we have surrounded ourselves with! Take steps to make world a better place to live in for our future generation not just by making money but by also making relationships worthwhile .Let quantity not prevail over quality...
