इन्ही बादलों में घुमड़ जाऊँ,
या इसी समंदर से लिपट जाऊँ;
संसार की साजिशें अब समझ नहीं आती
जी में आता है,
यहाँ से वापस न जाऊँ!
रंग बदलता है जीवन,
इसी समंदर के पानी जैसा ;
कहीं खुशनुमा हल्का नीला..
कहीं भयावह काला गहरा!
कभी सूरज आँख दिखाता है,
कभी यहीं पे चाँद मुस्कुराता है ;
मगर जीवन तो इस कश्ती जैसा,
अतिशय चलता जाता है..!
जी में आता है..
ये फ़लसफ़ा समझ पाऊँ!
इन्ही लहरों में सिमट जाऊँ
यहाँ से वापस न जाऊँ!

Solo Show

Real wars are fought alone,

Honest tears trickled behind closed doors,

Mirrors gazed longer when lonely,

Perpetual peace earned in solace,

Lyrics absorbed than music in abandonment,

Poetry free flows only in solitude

Love associated more with absence than presence,

And real happiness comes only when truly yourself!

Explode in me!



Confide in me
Escape in me
What you have been
wanting to say for so long
...
Explode in me!

I will be your tinted glass
I will be your wall of stone
I will not break nor let it out
I will absorb it all
...
You,
Scream in me!

Talk it out
Let it out
Worry not,
Just say it aloud
....
Hide in me!

No words shall be spoken back,
No advice down the drain

Your heart may just smoke it out
And it shall all be gone with the wind
....
Have some faith in me!


But, 
As I said, 
....
Explode in me!


Sometimes all you want is to have a pair of sturdy ears, and no tongue, You don't want to be advised or told what to do, you just need to blast it out, without any revert. I wish i had someone like this, for me!!

इबारतें (3)


इबारतें थमीं हैं ,
आजकल,
इबादतें बदलाव पे आमादा हैं ;

मेरे हज की गलियों के नक्श 
शायद किसी पुराने संदूक में,
आराम फ़रमाते होंगे ,
मगर गलियां मुझे याद हैं; 

हर आहट समेटती ,
इन पन्नों की गिनती ख़त्म होने पे है 
मगर ये बदलती इबारतें, 
मुझे मेरे हज की गलियों में 
बार बार धकेल आती हैं;  

इबारतें अब भी थमी हैं, 
इबादतें मगर, 
रोज़ाना बदल रही हैं | 


And Ibaratein part 3 is here- after 4 months of Ibaratein 2 

A few words have become family to this series, featuring themselves in every post but the connection keeps on changing! 
I am not sure i will write other parts to "Ibaratein" series or not but am sure if I do, teh thread will be seen, strong and long! 
Read Ibaratein 1 here!!

इबादतें: Prayers

किस्मत


किस्मत ग़र बिका करती दुकानों में, 
तो सोचो कीमत क्या आंकी जाती 
ख्वाहिश तो सब करते थोड़ी थोड़ी खरीदने की ,
पर हैसियत फिर आड़े आजाया  करती; 

किस्मत की कीमत भी फिर, 
शायद किस्मत जैसी ही हो जाती 
दाम चुकाने के लिए 
फिर थोड़ी किस्मत की दुआ की जाती ;

फख्र करें इसके बदले 
थोडा सुकून हासिल हो जाता मुफ्त में 
तब दुआएं क़ुबूल हुआ करती 
कीमत और किस्मत काश बेगैरत होती !

पुरानी किताब

पुराने किस्सों से सराबोर 
पीले पड़  चुके पन्नो वाली उस किताब को 
मैं एक दिन यूँ ही  पलट के देख रही थी , 
हर पन्ने की सिलवट के साथ 
उस सिलवट की वजह सोच रही थी;

यादें ज्यादा थी और शब्द कम 
उस रात मैं भी न जाने क्या क्या सोच रही थी 

बहुत देर बाद 
जब यादों की नींद से जागी 
महसूस हुआ अब हकीकत में लौटना चहिये 
पन्ने पपड़ा गए थे 
मैंने किताब को किसी तरह बंद कर 
एक भारी ताले से दबा दिया 

पर उस रात बारिश हुई थी 
तेज़ हवा से ताला सरक गया था 
और 
एक अनचाहा सा पीला पन्ना 
मेरे सामने खुल गया था !!

मेरा अज़ीज़ सामान

क्यों ऐसा होता है 
के कभी कभी घर से  निकलके 
बहुत दूर चलने के बाद 
याद आता है , के 
पीछे कुछ छूट गया 

कुछ ज़रूरी सा, कुछ अज़ीज़ सा 
जो संभाला था कई जतनों से 
वही बेहद कीमती सा, 
घर पर ही छूट गया 

अब् पीछे जाना मुश्किल है 
और आगे चलना भी मुनासिब नहीं 
क्या करूँ, दिल में बड़ी कश्मकश  है 

कुछ देर रुक जाती हूँ 
बीच रास्ते  में  अनमनी सी होकर थम जाती हूँ 
फिर कुछ सोच के, भारी मन से 
आगे बढ़ जाती हूँ 
पर मेरा मन , वहीँ छूट जाता है 

मेरा वह अज़ीज़ सामान , 
मुझे अब भी वापस बुलाता है

ऐसा भी होता है

Photo- http://bit.ly/QRtbhz
क्या तुम्हें मालूम है ,
ऐसा भी होता है, 
कभी कभार, 
गले में जैसे कुछ, 
अटका सा रहता है; 
सांस का रुख पलट जाता है 
और आँखों का समा ज्यादा रौशन नहीं होता 
मालूम है ऐसा कब होता है, 
जब कुछ अपना, बहुत अपना 
कहीं खो जाता है 
और मैं सोचती हूँ ,
अभी तो यहीं था , ऐसे कैसे खो सकता है 
कुछ दिन ढूँढती  हूँ, 
फिर थोडा मन को समझाती  हूँ, 
अब क्या होगा सोचने से ;
और मन फिर से ज़रा सा ,
भर सा आता है!

इरशाद किया है

जो बात बाहर आई है,
 न जाने कितने  दिनों से पक रही थी 
मुट्ठी तो बंद थी ,
मगर रेत फिर भी रिस रही थी 
ज़र्रा ज़र्रा समेत के,
 इन लव्जों को पिरोया है 
नज़्म नहीं ये तो,
 मेरे ज़ेहेन का  इक रोयाँ  है 
मिल जाये कोई 
जो साफ़ दिल से इल्तिजा करे 
पकी हुई भूख का
 ये तो पहला निवाला है 

There are moments when you have so many good things around you and you can’t capture them all and keep them forever, u can’t click a photograph or possibly u can’t take down the notes and all you can do is open up yourself to the limit even you don’t know. Hear it will all your senses and absorb the moment. Take mind pictures and just live the moment!!

This poem is inspired by one of my most eventful and candid conversation with Irshad Kamil (a renowned Poet/lyricist) And i could see that more or less all poets cross the same roads in their lives! Thereby naming this poem after his name!!

Sleeping SOULS

The symmetrically carved white stones that stood there with a perfect 6ft distance from each other, bearing the names of the souls sleeping like a baby inside them and speaking up for their fond remembrances could make me think of nothing else but SERENITY.


Photography: i-Capture
I could look at this wonderful sight where the souls slept across a fence of red wires intermingled with each other in diamond patterns. The day was bright and air had a haze of poise in it then! And all I could realize was that I was eye-witnessing a beautiful park (yes, I mean a park) where there was noise of tranquility, abstraction of illusions and contentment of attainment. The Cycle of life doesn’t starts in the womb where it’s just a scientifically visible lump of a new breathe. It starts from here, where  there is changing of clothes, the process of passing on the shell -somebody had been living in for so long, making it good/ bad /worse, bringing name or disgrace to this very own shell and then finally leaving it to others to keep it secure under a layer of soil forever!


The green carpet covering the faces was clearly extra green being nourished by various emotions in its roots. When a life ends, there are certainly emotions of sorrow and pain but there are many more sentiments that make that grass look even greener. Those are the sentiments of reaching to a certain point, zeroing in on at least something in life and putting an end to the zest which was never accomplished while living! Death is more about being able to travel finally to that much desired serenity than it is about grief! 

For the first time in life, I was not scared of the resting spirits; instead they were The Achievers to me who could find a destination in/after their lives. I travelled back with the thought of little brown-black birds perching happily over the graves, fearing only the pretentious innocence of life!


(Inspired by: Khirkee War Cemetry, Pune & My MusE)

Mixed bag of eMotionS


I stand by this beautiful water body: that is huge, infinite, engulfing, knows no limits, no horizons, just stretches till no fine line and finally gets smudged into its beloved; the sky. I want to have the feel of the moment, just want to be calm, quiet & disappear!!But just can’t do it. have several thoughts thundering in my mind simultaneously, I just cant concentrate and scared of ‘opportunity lost’ .I feel like running, running across the whirlpools, running away from what I am to reach what I should..I am satisfied but not happy, I am worried, I am itchy, disgusted about the consequences but yet serene about what took place. I don’t regret and there are no more buts’. I want to be the hose but I am pulled by the blue. I adore him but our personas are mutually so exclusive. I grip, he releases; I engulf, he sets free; I feel, he thinks. i know my destiny and thus try to stand calm that I am supposed to be.
                                  But ‘not everything grows under the shades of the big trees’. There are whirlpools at the loin of my skirt. Whirlpools that stand as a token of the numerous thunders in my mind. I desire to be different..Of what I am and what I should be. I tend to be happy about them but stopped by my concern of what people think of them.
Perplexive of my own dos and don’ts I happen to notice the new dam running on me. I am suddenly apprehensive. There is construction done to channel my current, to give a certain direction to it. To help me stay calm composed, tranquil. I don’t like the dam but still I have to accept it because I am conscious of my social strata. I am affirmative of people should think good about me and I try being accustomed.
                         But the story doesn’t get its due end here. The foe of my beloved- the rains come. I have the property to engulf and retain and the sky can’t see me knotting with somebody else. No matter if its just because of the ‘not so mutually exclusive trait’s that I and the rains share. Hence my desires are aroused, my water level touches the red marks on the walls of that dam and my urge dominates my logic.
I am free. I broke the channels. Going with the flow .I don’t know any boundaries .I am the lord of my own will. My embossment follows me. And as per my nature I engulf, I engulf so many lives, I am bewildered. Again decisive of what I am and what I should be. The rains are about to have the next kisser and I find myself alone. I am stoned, feel lost. I look up, the rains have left me all by myself but now the eyes of my love watch me. There is a sigh of relief. I turn back. People are relieved. I came as a flood , a flood of my fleeting attraction but going back as a relieved soul to get smudged into somebody who will  help me what I should be , and while crawling back I still think ‘what I am’.

"जाने कहाँ रख दिया"



कुछ लिखा था  ख़ास, उस रात इक पन्ने में 
जाने कहाँ रख दिया ,
जो कैद किया था उस लम्हे में 

जब साथ तेरा नहीं सिर्फ तकदीर था, 
जब मुद्दा तेरा सबसे हसीं था ,
ढूढती हूँ उसे बेतरतीब , सब कुछ बरबस उलट पलट के 
जाने कहाँ रख दिया , 
जो ज़िक्र किया था तेरा उन लव्जों में 

घडी तो रूकती नहीं, बेशर्म हो भागती जाती है 
पल जो मुट्ठी में भींच लिया, बस आह उसी की रह जाती है 
आज याद जब उस पल की आई 
जब तेरी फ़िक्र, मेरी ज़मीन थी
परेशान हूँ मैं अब भी 

जाने कहाँ रख दिया ,
जो एहसास अब नहीं मिलता
 औरों में ||
