Walked into a library and found many faces,
Lost between the pages,
Their souls had traveled far,
They bodies sitting motionless and ajar,
Some were searching for the perfect read,
Some had found their soulmate and stuck to it,
I walked down the aisle and started my search,
Between so many sections I was almost lost,
So many titles, so many emotions, so less time,
Had to chose one and begin for sure,
Picking up one I walked towards a seat,
Suddenly my mind told me this is not it,
I went back and brought another one,
This seemed right, my mind was calmer,
One page, two and then three,
The journey began and I was on a judging spree,
After a few pages I started feeling the disconnect,
All that I had thought about the book's offering was not quite met,
The book was good but not my type,
I kept it back and brought another one,
This one was worse than the first one I must say,
Either my taste in books is bad or my luck is, I thought,
I got up one last time and brought back another one,
This seems alright,
The characters started speaking to me and I knew I had found my partner in crime,
I held it tightly and officially brought it home,
I kept reading and re-reading it over and over again,
I fell in love with each and every page,
This was the book which spoke my mind,
This was the book which made me come alive,
In excitement I shared it with a friend,
She was not so convinced and refused to read it,
On persistence she read a few pages & had an headache,
I was sorry for her trouble and saddened by the fact that
my good friend had not shared my liking,
We argued and argued for hours,
She walked away saying its a futile power,
I was left alone with my beloved book,
I tried to convince her but she never did,
The book might not be for everyone after all,
If it was, then won't everyone read just one book above all,
I would like to tell you the name of my book now,
"Religion" it is called and it makes a few many go wow,
We all have found one, we all believe in one,
To each his own, respect and move on!
Slowly and steadily I pick up the shattered pieces of my heart,
Don't know if it is me or my past,
But the weight of the pieces is making me fall apart...
Slowly and steadily my feet struggle on this emotional wrath,
Time & again I find myself typecast,
All I can see is a unwanted war path...
Slowly and steadily I feel the doors shutting down forever,
My heart just refuses to be anymore harassed,
Peace is what I wander for and it is now my only endeavor
This is a short poem by me on the current situations which are erupting at regular intervals across borders. All of it makes me think if the absence of peace is a result of us disposing off the language of love and compassion or is it vice versa?
Have tried to put down my thoughts in this mini poem, its not perfect but I promise it will make you think for sure.
I used to speak the language of equality which opened many doors,
No I don't speak that language any more...
I used to speak the language of a soldier against a war,
No I don't speak that language any more...
I used to speak the language of the dreams and the candy store,
No I don't speak that language any more...
I used to speak the language of peace next door,
No I don't speak that language any more...
All I speak these days is of the disappointingly low levels of humanity,
All I speak now is of rising levels of insanity,
Gone are the days of my language of love,
Gone are the days of care, affection and awe,
Strangled with the chains of madness & galore,
No I don't speak the language of humanity any more...
No I don't speak the language of humanity any more...
He was standing there with all his soul,
No one could deny he had lost control,
She was staring at him from behind the closed doors,
She was scared as hell & angry for sure,
He was begging for forgiveness and much more,
But this had happened too often for her to ignore,
She had bruises all over her body which proved the threat,
The body which had love bites was now decorated with regret,
He knocked the door once more before she finally flew it open,
She knew this was her last token,
She knew this was her last chance to kick his ego,
She knew this was her only chance to make the frustrating reality just go,
She spit on his face before he could talk further any more,
He was shocked and grabbed her by her neck & pushed her to the floor,
But she was not in the mood to give up after coming so close,
She got up and kicked him between his legs where it hurt him the most,
She dragged him by the collar while he kept trying to push her away,
She was giving him the treatment he was giving her for ages everyday,
She picked a meat knife from her kitchen drawer & held it at his sweaty neck,
While he was angered she made her statement in distress,
" Dare you touch me again or show me your face,
I will mark your entire body with shame with this very blade,
Don't you dare to kick me again, don't you dare pull me by my hair,
I am sorry for this planet has morons like you to address,
Before I kill you this very moment and end all your mess,
Run for your life and never show me your soul again..."
He was now dumbfounded and kind of scared,
He ran for his life like she had just said,
Like all stories have an impact,
This one too should scream out the fact,
Don't subject her to your violence & attack,
She will rise one day and blackout all your senses & return the debt,
Don't treat women like a punching bag or you surely will regret !
कुछ लम्हों की ज़िंदगी
कुछ काली रातों का इल्ज़ाम
बीतेगी ये रात भी कभी एक दिन
ए दिलरख तू ज़रा सा होसला
मत हो उदास
इंतेज़ार का होगा ख़ात्मा
सामने होगा सपनो का जहान
अभी मत कर तू खुद को रुसवा
ए दिल रख तू ज़रा सा होसला
मत हो उदास
चमक रहे होंगे चाँद सितारे और सिक्के बेशुमार
गूँज उठेगी अरमानों की दुनिया
सजही जाएगी एक दिन यादों की बारात
ए दिलरख तू ज़रा सा होसला
मत हो उदास
फिर मनके आईने में होगा हर रोज़ एक नया ख़याल
फिर खुशियों से हर रोज़ होगी मुलाक़ात
ए दिलरख तू ज़रा सा होसला
मत हो उदास
मत हो उदास
I have known many kind of people one after another
Have walked the road of life with all of them sometime or the other,
Have walked the road of life with all of them sometime or the other,
Some were two faced and had a hidden sword
Some instantly touched my heart's chord,
Some had lost their game
Some had never really played,
Some were searching for something without any clue
Some were always blue,
Some spoke and spoke only to be never understood
Some remained silent for their own good,
Some hugged me with their brilliance
Some poked my brain with their nonsense,
Some cautioned me about nightmares
Some became my nightmares,
Some hit me with their arrogance & deceit
Some made me realise there's a win in every defeat,
Some called my name & never let me cry
Some left me forever without even a good bye...
In all these people I found my essence,
They took a part of me and gave me a part of their self !
Woh kagaz ki
kashti
Wo baarish ka
paani ,
Lauta do mujhe mere bachpan ki kahaani
Lelo yeh kagaz ke
tukde
Lelo yeh nashe ka
paani
Kamaane aur
kharchne mein guzar rahi hai meri jawaani
Wo kagaz ki
kashti
Wo baarish ka
paani
Lauta do mujhe
mere bachpan ki kahaani
Lelo yeh kagaz ki aiyashi
Lelo ye zindagi
ki manmaani
Do pal ka chain
na de, kaisi hai yeh zindagaani
Wo kagaz ki
kashti
Wo baarish ka
paani
Lauta do mujhe
mere bachpan ki kahaani...
Tomorrow is where all our dreams reside
Tomorrow is where we shall achieve our pride...
Tomorrow is where our mind finds peace
Tomorrow is where our happiness finds a new lease...
Tomorrow is where all our timeless talks reside
Tomorrow is where all our fears hide...
Tomorrow is where there is life
Tomorrow is where humanity has not gone out of sight...
Tomorrow is in all of our conversations
Tomorrow is in all of our life's reflections...
Tomorrow takes us away from today each day
Today which was once a tomorrow which we wanted to play !
Some questions at the end of life which might be asked by the creator once you are done with this planet...
The question is not
Who will remember you after you die?
The question is how many will actually cry!
The question is not
How many degrees you gathered while you were alive?
The question is how many lives gathered from you the courage to strive!
The question is not
How many hours you worked in a week?
The question is how much time did you spend being unique!
The question is not
What was your greatest achievement?
The question is how much of your life was spent on grievance?
And when you have the answers for all the questions,
The creator shall decide on your next human life lessons!
Who's more hurt ?
The one who unintentionally disappoints or the one who is disappointed ?
Who's more hurt?
The one who regretfully lets down or the one who is let down?
Who's more hurt?
The one who is angry or the one who is regretfully the reason behind the anger?
Who's more hurt?
Who's more hurt?
Jeene ki koshish mein marte chale
Hum khwabon ke carvan mein doobte chale
Waqt bewaqt haar ne nibhaya hai saath
Jeet hi hai jo nikli bewaafa, phir bhi hum chalte chale...
Meri Neend mein,
Meri rooh mein
Meri yaadon mein
Bas chuka hai wo khwab...
Kaise tarak kar du usse jo
Mere zehen me bus chuka hai
Yun hi chalte chalte...
Nahi hoga poora shayad kabhi,
Isse me bhi hu aagaah
Par kaise chod du isse adhoora
Jab mujh me kho gaya hai woh aise
Koi rah guzar bhatka ho raah jaise
Yun hi chalte chalte...
Before I die
I want you to know that
I cared even after you left
And I had tears every time you wept
Before I die
I want you to know that
I was not always right nor always wrong
But never did I argue and always played along
Before I die
I want you to know that
I loved you with all my heart
I wish you handled it with care
and not tear it apart...
Before I die
I want you to not kill me in your heart...
Because believe me or not
Your promises were the only thing I ever bought...
What is a dream ?
It's a miracle and a curse
It's something in which you submerge
It has no religion, no land
It's our existence's only demand
It knows no hero, no villain
Hitler had a dream and so did Bob Dylan
A dream is what makes us
A dream is what breaks us
A dream is what explains us
It's a miracle and a curse
It's something in which you submerge

I entered a room filled with crowd
A corner was filled with laughter without any question mark
Another was filled with silent cries and was scarily dark
I leaned forward to see what lied in between
Only to find a revolving door with a picture of Wolverine
The door was made up of clear screen glass
The ones who were laughing could see the crying ones
And the crying ones could easily see their smiles & funs
While I was still figuring out the mystery of this door
It revolved and along with it revolved the crowd & the floor
The laughing ones were now crying
The crying ones were now smiling
I was astonished to see this change
I was mesmerised to see this exchange
On further enquiry I realised the crowd was part of a rat race
and this was their hiding space
While these two clans did not have the choice to be
Happy or Sad
I had all the choice to enter the corner I dared
Why you say have I got this privilege ?
Well because I have followed my heart and
rebelled against the rat race...
This is where my dreams has brought me
A place where ignorance is bliss
Can't believe this...
This is where my patience has brought me
A place where laziness rules the wits
Can't believe this...
This is where my anger has brought me
A place where contentment is amiss
Can't believe this...
In this world where every place is populated
In this world where every emotion is miscalculated
This is where my heart has brought me
A place which wants me to quit
Cant believe this...

I might not be as beautiful as your Ex
But I am definitely less uglier than your next...
I might not be as sexy as your first crush
But I am definitely more interesting than your next one...
I might not be as intelligent as your first special one
But I definitely love you more than your next one...
So while we share this soul
Make sure you don't miss on our attachments
While we are together
The way she moves makes me ecstatic
The way she grooves makes me look antic
Whenever she smiles I lose my mind
The way she dies a bit everyday is one of its kind
The way she tries to hide her cracks
The way she falls only to bounce back
Whenever she cries I lose my mind
The way she dies a bit everyday is one of its kind
The way she fumbles on her dreams
The way she struggles to avoid being mean
Whenever she fears I lose my mind
The way she dies a bit everyday is one of its kind
One day I want her to know
That I am hers and nothing matters no more
One day I want her to know
That the way she dies a bit everyday is my only sorrow!

A volcano of emotions within each one of us
Waiting to explode
Some ego, some anger and a pinch of stupidity unfold
Some smiles, some peace, some calmness gets postponed
A volcano of emotions within each one of us
Waiting to explode
Some fears, some patience and a slice of disgust unfold
Some love, some curiosity, some excitement gets postponed
If only everyone cared to listen
If only everyone cared to avoid division
We would successfully break the happiness code
And save this planet when the emotional volcano explodes...
