So Am I...

When the sun sets and it's dark outside,
the gloom swallows my heart, my mind
Your face appears, tears fill my eyes,
I fear the night, shivers go down my spine.
I close my eyes, I clinch my fist,
I hold my breath, but no respite...

The stage is set for you to flourish,
the moment has come for you to cherish
Don't hesitate, hug the sunshine,
I disserve the darkness, it's fine
The time has come to bid Good bye...
Go ahead, before I cry...

Take all my wishes, my love, my life,
leave me alone with your memories behind
The path you have chosen is different from mine,
your journey has begun, I am waiting for divine
I have no regrets, I won't cry,
you are happy and so am I...

शिकवा

तुमसे ना कोई शिकवा ना कोई गिला है,

मैं खुश हूँ उससे, जो तुमसे मिला है॥

मेरी राह के हमसफ़र तुम, नही हो तो क्या,

चंद क़दमों का साथ, तो मुझे मिला है॥

तुम्हे भूल जाना मुमकिन नही,

तुम्हे याद आऊं ये गवारा नही है,

कैसें कहें की हमें तुम्हारी जुस्तजू नही है,

मगर सच तो ये भी है, की तुम्हे हमारी जरूरत नही है..

मैं जानता हूँ मेरी राह की मंजिल नही,

मगर ये रास्ता भी तो हमने ख़ुद से चुना है ॥

इन्तजार हम तुम्हारा ताउम्र करेंगे,

तुम आओ या ना आओ, तुम्हारा फ़ैसला है।

अंधेरों में गुम होने का कोई गम नहीं मुझे,

तुम्हें रौशनी में ना देखूं, तो उसका गिला है॥

To be contd....

आँसू

वो आँसू जो आँख से टपके, आँसू नहीं, थे दिल के टुकड़े॥
दर्द ने जब दिल को जकडा, टूट पड़ा दिल का टुकडा,
आँखें रोक सकीं ना उनको, जग कहता है आँसू जिनको॥
पलकों की बांधों से ढलके, वो आँसू तब आँख से टपके.
दिल पे पड़ा वो फफोला, जब अचानक फट गया,
दिल का दर्द सारा, आँसू बन के बह गया ,
मोती बह गए पानी बनके, वो आँसू तब आँख से टपके..
आँखों में था जो चेहरा, धुंधला सा होने लगा,
रौशन थी जिससे दुनिया वो अंधेरों में खोने लगा,
वक़्त का वो लम्हा अचानक से पिघल गया
हर जख्म हर एहसास आँसू बन के बह गया॥
टूटे दिल की आवाज बनके,वो आँसू तब आँख से टपके..

It's for you...

When Time Strikes..

"मनुज बलि नही होत है, समय होत बलवान,
भीलन लुटे गोपिका, वही अर्जुन वही बाण "

My father tells these lines of wisdom since my childhood. How true they are..!!
There can be two ways of looking at it, Either you fall in the category of, "Why to waste the energy if Time is not favouring", or you keep trying because "you never know when is your time!!"
In fact since our childhood, we have always been taught contradicting theories। Look at these " "जब दांत नही थे तो दूध दियो, जब दांत दिए तो अन्न न दियो ", or like "अजगर करे ना चाकरी, पंछी करे ना काम, दास कबीरा कह गए सबके दाता राम॥" On the other side we keep on reciting Geeta's shloka where Shri Krishna talks about superiority of Karma.
We Indians are master manipulators and have escape goats for every unwanted situations. We love to appreciate the Karma when someone is successful, but if something fails its because Bhagya was not with him.
Why can't we have a consistent stand. For me Bhagya is not something on which you have control, Its like a roll of dice. Why to spend time and energy on which you don't have control..?
I do agree that only having requisite skills and hard work doesn't guarantee that you will be successful, but if you are not working its guaranteed that you will fail.. Do we have control over the other variables of the equation..? You cannot be sure about what will be the outcome of the roll of dice, but why not be prepared, and make the best use when the dice rolls in your favour.
As the say "Fortune Favours the brave." It's again an overstatement to me, your bravery has nothing to do with your fortune, its just that you are persistent in your effort, and when the tide came you were ready to sail. It's more about law of averages when we say Every Dog has his day.
I wish It was possible to have a Rewind button in life :), Then every plan would have been a super success. Life moves in only one direction, and willingly or unwillingly, you have to move on.
You will not have this moment in your life again so why not make the best use of it.

You fool,you already have wasted so many while reading this :).

To conclude.
Dance, Dance until it rains..!! There is no shortcut to success.

Cheers
