Mohabbat ka Bazaar...

Aaj phir dil se ek nikli hai ek pukar,
Aaj phir pahunch gaya hun main bazaar,
Jahan har modh pe bikta hai jhoota pyar,
Jahan banti hai bas sacche pyar ki mazaar.

Har lafz kehta hai ek nayi dastan,
Oh! humsafar tujhme hai mera saara jahan,
Tere liye aaye hain hum yahan,
In farebiyon se bachke ab jaun kahan.

Kaun hai mera jo ab samjhe ja mujhe,
Kisko bataun ab zakhm is dil ke,
Samajha tha maine khuda tujhe,
tune he kar diye dil ke hazaar tukde.

Nahi hai chahat ab chahat pane ki,
Kimat lagti hai yahan mohabbat lagane ki,
Imaan ko bech kar daun hai paisa kamane ki,
Yahi sacchai hai iss naye zamane ki...

Those were the best days of my life...

The face is a mirror of emotions,
Remembering the sweet days of commotion,
The life at school was hard to forget,
But college was loads of fun once can get.
The first day of college when I was a grown kid,
Ragging was the word I most dread,
The term seniors was no less of a torture in the first week,
Marks were left on cheek with slaps-streak.
Classes were a place to pull the leg of classmates,
Who cared that time what's our fate.
Workshop tasks were live stories,
Ragging batch mates were favorite movies.
Time went like a swift passenger before my eyes,
In second year we realized how fast it flies,
The feeling of being seniors was second to none,
I am the king - I am the only one.
Always thought that this would last long,
And thinking about this came third year along,
The feeling of enlightenment came in being,
A great vision by my soul was seen.
Suddenly the realty began to seep in,
The darkness of future began to creep in.
It was all about the ultimate aim in life to achieve,
The start was tough but I was not to leave.
The campus placements were a tense time for all,
Whether be it just an interview call.
Came the final year of soul searching,
The feeling of nostalgia was coming.
The tears were hard to stop from coming,
Amidst smiling face they were running.
The journey was about to take a sharp turn,
From a very beautiful path for which I would yearn.
The days were magic followed by diamond nights,
I would miss those group hugs and friendly fights.
Even today the heart yearns for those times,
Those were the best days of my life...

Free Soul

Few words that could make me heard,
A free spirit like a free bird.
Flowing with the wave of serene air,
A flowing soul in the world's fair.
Voices within make me add to the chaos,
With a calm face I give a sincere pose.
Veils of distrust keep me at a distance,
I want to free myself just once.
The cage of deception is holding me within,
Living life in a cage is a worse sin.
Soul of joy and peace are there to dance,
I will till eternity to get a single chance.
My heart is broken down in many a part,
Everyone has got a space but tearing it apart.
Something is there which I cannot comprehend,
My sins are grave and will take time to amend.
Till the time I can't be airborne like a bird in the sky,
I will bide for my time; then I will FLY...

Zindagi ki daud...

Chand Sawaalon mein kat gayi zindagi saari,
Numeron ki daud mein woh kyon hai haari.
Khel hai ye dimag ka, jo dil na samajh paaya,
Dil ke armaanon ko dil mein he kyon dafnaaya.
Pehli bar jab dekhi thi, duniya thi badi chulbuli,
Phir kitaabon ne kyon macha di hai dil mein khalbali.
Bachpan na jeeya, na jee paaya jawani,
Kahan kho gaye woh din, meri asli zindagani.
Sochta tha khel mein bahut naam paunga,
Papa ne kaha khel se kaise note kamaunga.
Addition, subtraction division sab ne bahut uljhaya,
Newton ke laws ne raat raat bhar jagaya.
Paise ki chahat ne poori zindagi mujhe daudaya,
Sochon toh kya main kabhi khud jee paya.
Hansi thi maangi, thodi khushi thi chahe,
Paise ki daud mujhe aaj kis mod pe le aayi.
Ab har sawaal ka ek he jawab sab mujhse lo,
Ek pal toh mujhe jeene do jeene do...

Silence...

Silence within me is waiting to subside,
Its calmness is taking me for a ride,
I want to cry, I want to hide,
I am alone with no one by my side.

Searching for the soul within me,
That too its doing for free,
I thought my life was complete from A to Z,
It made me realize my life's an autumn tree.

Though I hope a spring to arrive,
On this hope many autumns I do thrive,
And that's when silence within me imbibe,
My life's just a race to survive.

A ravishing thought just comes by,
Like dropping from the heavenly sky,
Silence is silent and just watches by,
What do I do - Shout or Cry?

Oh! the worlds looks so deprived,
Off all the happiness that never arrived,
All the show was contrived,
Where silence but none survived.

Thats the essence of life in all,
Being happy is never a distant call,
Truth is being true to yourself and all,
Happniess in your life would silence install...

Few lines from within...

There were days when the life looked so bleak,
There were times when days looked so dull,
There were moments when I just lost it all,
There were beats that skipped their rhythm.
The times were neither good nor bad,
Looking behind in the mirrors of time,
I see a person just not himself anymore,
Fights within himself and outside raging red,
Wanting all that for himself that was never there.
The desire to be one and all made him none,
All the things had come and gone now,
He is still thinking was it right at that time,
Those fights were all his or never a part,
All apart they took from him was life.
This was a way that never was his,
He was lost, lost deep in a mirage,
Was his life a dream or apart in space,
Truth was it never occured in parts.
Life was a maze that was set as a task,
Few pieces joined few lying scattered,
Completing the task was the crux of life,
Living it worthwhile was the hint given at large.

Words in life...

"Do the words flow as they intend to or do they flow as we intend them to?"

The flow of the words was unabated strong and wrong,
But to my cranky ears they were a sweet song.
I never realised the pain they had caused to one and all,
As my world like my heart was very small.

They flowed like the waters in a gushing stream,
Less was the compassion more was the scream.
They stung everyone straight in heart,
Tearing it to bits, tearing it into thousands of parts.

Making the life so sad to be lived as it was,
It was my words that were the cause.
Never did those stop as they should have been,
My eyes were wronged by a selfish screen.

All the while I was the only one,
At the end it was really me but having no one.
They took away all that I had with me called life,
They were less of butter more of knife.

Cutting away all the ties and bonds,
In my heart now lies a dried tear pond.
Words were all that I thought I had till that time,
At that point I realised they were not even mine.

They never beloned to me as they were free from ties,
They poured from my mouth in a bunch of lies.
Time said it was they who ruined me,
My heart saw the truth it was not them but only 'ME'.

My ego was the culprit for the downfall,
Words were only a medium in all.
All the saying goes unheeded in life till the end,
Things could be very bad, but still never too late to amend.

Did I say all that I had wanted to?
I don't know the answer, neither you.
Still a lot more remains in my heart till date,
Would pour out more on a later date...

Words of Life...

For some people writing is an art,

For me its my own part.

I don't know where to start,

I don't know how to start.

When I am happy or sad,

When life's good or bad.

I don't remember a thing,

Its just when the heart sings,

The words start to flow in unison,

I just combine them into one.

Life's story is more or less the same,

Its your friends but with a different name.

Just let life flow with time,

Be it a sad or a happy rhyme,

Life is yours and life is mine,

Live life all the time, everytime...

Just for you " FRIEND" ...

There may be a lot of things unsaid,
A lot of things undone,
A lot of emotions unfelt,
A lot of life unlived.
Whether it was fate or time,
Whether your actions or mine.
It was a life that was lived together,
A life full of happy matter.
Still in my heart a part goes missing,
A part still yearning.
There it still harbors a pain,
All the time its just your name.
Life wouldn't ever be the same,
Life it was when you came.
Its the calmness that runs down deep,
During storm on whose shoulder's do I weep,
The emptiness would be with me till the end,
Life's meaningless without you my Friend.

Life is not what it looks like...

Sitting in the hot noon sun,
I was thinking about none,
Trying to gather pieces of time,
When life was like sweet lime,
A bit of sugary, a bit of salty,
But now its noe, its just faulty.
I scramble over the memories,
Of the numerous journeys,
Still there's a void within me,
I am empty to thee,
Running about in the life's walk,
I dont have anyone to talk,
Things may be sweet and beautiful,
But the tastes are bland and tearful,
Saying a lot is still not lot,
In the life's web I am caught,
Trying to break free from the prison,
I want to be like the rising sun,
I am searhing for the only one,
I am searching one from one...

Jeevan...

Bas baitha hun likhne ke liye,
Har shad mein hai gahrayi,
Ek nazar daal ke dekho inme,
Milon faile hui hai tanhai.

Jeevan ke yeh reet hai aisi,
Samajh na paye sab koi,
Samajh samajh ke jo samjhe,
Hari ko samjhe wohi.

Jo hai likha woh nahin hun main,
Jo na likha wahi hai mera roop,
Likhne waale ko tum samjho,
Likhta hai jaise chanuon aur dhoop.

Tanhai hai tere saathi,
Na hai koi ab aur bhi tera,
Raat bhar kyon rota hai tu,
Shayad ek din hoga savera.

Kya maine socha tha,
Kya maine hai paya,
Yeh jeevan toh bas moh hai,
Aur har vastu hai maya.

Aaj soch raha hai har antarmann,
Kya hai mera satya,
Tanhai hai ab mera saaya,
Mrityu ko har jeev ne paya.

Har aane wala ek din toh jata hai,
Phir mera mann kyon ghabrata hai,
Aaj toh phir uday hua hai mera,

Abse har din hai naya savera.

Life as soul...

Searching for the soul,
I came across the world,
What was mine was never mine,
For what I fought never survived.
I am going into the dark realms of nature,
Being a person I never thougth would become,
The world seemed to be in a mess,
As was my life at the time.
I tried to run, but time was faster than me,
It was my folly to think I was the destiny,
The truth was bitterest to the last bite,
It was my soul that was mine, Not my life...

Life's a mystery...

Quite a few times I would say,
" Life's a mystery"
I say I know the start,
But ending is always a mystery.
When I walk, am sure of my feet,
But the roads are always a mystery.
When I speak, I am sweet,
But the interpretation, is always a mystery.
All the while I am the lucky one,
But who is chosen is always a mystery.
For people the worlds' a beauiful place,
But for me its always a mystery,
I say and do, what I think,
But how I think is always a mystery,
My life is mine all the time,
But after me, my "Life's a mystery",
I may recede into history,
But always my "Life will remain a mystery"

Question...

Why is life only about wants?
Why are eyes only for light?
Why I end just on I and Me?
Why do I lie, even in front of thee?

So many questions, still very few answers,
Whenever I sit to think, they give me shivers,
Are they running from me,
Or is it me, who's running from them.
Always am looking for the one answer,
Who am I? Do I live forever???

Lost in the crowd...

When I look around,
There are lots of sound.
When inside I peek,
Whom do I seek.

All the rights and all the wrongs,
From the sad to sweet songs.
All the way life's a mystery,
One day I will become history.

I may be standing big and tall,
Yet in reality I am very small.
I may be sporting a happy face,
Inside its lined with sadness lace.

With the trace of glint in the eyes,
I stand tall telling lies.
A single tear when runs on the cheek,
I sound timid, lost and meek.

All the while I pose a strong exterior,
When I am crumbling in the interior.
I am well supported all the time,
I look for those who are mine.

I have loads of people around me,
Still I am alone without thee.
Don't know when the loneliness will end,
I have lots of actions to amend.

All said but little done,
I am not there, am no one.
All the while I am the person,
All the time I am none.

Lost within me, lost from outside,
Oh! lord please help me,
I am lost, I am lost,
I am lost inside as well as in crowd...

Silence thats silent...

Is the silence within,
Or is it outside,
Lots of voices around,
But still its very quiet.
A war thats tearing me apart,
Of it Am I a part or not.
As with the nature do I blend,
Or its just the silence that says.
Lots of words spoken,
Least understood in nature,
War is within me or nature,
Or its just the silence.
Am I afraid of myself?
Even though I dont know myself,
So, whats making it worse to live,
My own self or the silence.
I fail to understand the implicit,
Yet silence cannot make it loud,
Its in the nature of nature,
Do I change for worse or better.
The silence is hard to answer,
Answers that are well spoken of,
But answers that cannot be answered.
Its the silence that wants the answer,
Its the silence thats the answer.
I dont know who Am I?
Its the silence within me that speaks,
Such is the meaning of silence,
It makes me speak its tounge,
The language of silence.
I speak, speak my heart out,
Its only the silence that I say,
Rest is understood by you...

Difference...

The blue sky says it loud,

With it I wanna shout.

The morning rays so calm,

Just like mamma palm.

Life is like a dream,

Like some topping cream.

So much, yet so less,

As always its hard to guess,

The purity of heart melts into soul,

Happiness around is my goal.

I may be small,

I may not be tall.

But I can make a difference to all,

With love in my heart thats pure,

I can and will make a difference for sure.

Writing...

They say writing is a beautiful art,
When written with feelings in heart,
A sweetness in the words is sought,
In the web of feelings its caught.
I write just to relax my mind,
And to help me n myself unwind,
My words though not make much sense,
Its a way to cross the internal fence.
All the written is the thought of the moment,
Sometimes later do we lament.
But I feel happy and light,
When I take a pen, and just write,
A smile thats crossing my face now,
Makes everyone wonder How???

Armaan...

Aaj hain bahut armaan iss dil mein,
Jaane kis kis ko pura karun,
Khashmakash mein he baitha tha aise,
Sochta hun baatein kaise kaise.
Kuch na aaya samajh mein,
kaise karun , kya karun,
Bas tha ek he khayal ab to,
Inn armaanon ko pura karon.
Bahut samay sochne mein gavaya,
Par kuch na samajh mein aaya.
Ab jab aaya hai ek khayal aisa,
Maine paya aarmanon ko bhula jaisa,
Woh armaan he ab na rahe,
Jinke baare mein maine itna socha,
Aaj dekha to bas paya,
Woh nahi tha kabhi bhi sach,
Sab tha dhoka he dhoka....

Superhit life...

I flow with the tide of time,

Never knowing the broken line,

A heart so full of joy and laughter,

Everyday is life's new chapter,

I write as I want to write,

Everything's beautiful within my sight.

Love is what is within my soul,

The world looks lovely as a whole,

As like time, I flow with it,

People say my life's Superhit...

:)
