MOTHER

Originally, I had written this poem to participate in a poem writing competition but eventually, I realised sooner or later, I had to write this one. Hope you people will like it too, and don’t forget to leave your feedback. They really help me.

Mother

The aura of divine eternity

Pinnacles to grace

And fraternity

When your voice falls

Breaking my numbness

Nothing then seems

Out of bounds

Nor difficult

When you say it

With such a kindness

All the entanglements

Which complexes my existence

Vanishes in a moment

When you sooth it

With so much persistence

What God can't

You always did

Yet I never wondered

It seemed so natural

And pure indeed

When it needed rough

You were there

To erase the scruff

When it needed soft

You somehow

Knew it all

What they say

Of that mystique light

I found all those

In your love and might

There were times

When I was aggravated

Finding it hard

To properly get adjusted

Then I remember the times

When I realized

With an utter shock

What life would had been

If you would not had been there

To protect me from

The world of thorns and mock

I don’t know much

As no one can even say

About God as such

But I longed to yearn

Which I got in plenty

Your love and concern

Besides your blessing and lessons

No doubt I rise

That whatever I am today

Only because you were

There above all the despise

This life is too short

To pay your debt

But I proud myself

With a treasure

Which I always kept

Never in discomfort or pressure

O Mother, I owe you

Not only my life

But also my existence

Not just this earthly body

But also my soul

O Mother, I owe you

And find peace in this very thought

That I owe you 

And am in debt of you……………

CAROUSEL OF LIFE

We always complain about this thing or that. It always seems to us that we don't get what we deserve or whenever something happens in our favour, it passes out very soon. Well, for a good and prosperous life, we must understand that it is a term known as circle of life, or in much better expression, carousel of life.

Carousel of Life

For once you have got

What you always yearn

Another time it is gone

Exactly like you fear

They come, they go

It may not sound so nice

But it’s a truth

Not a bitter one though

That is carousel of life

At those good times

We are in fear

They may not last for long

Comes the bad ones

We curse God

Why they didn't lasted for long

Don’t take it as preaching

But that’s all natural law

Your days may be screeching

But it was never a flaw

It’s not the saying

But a proved and trusted verity

No one is perfect

No one has everything of sanity

Better accept it

Before away it flies

As this is what we call

Carousel of life

Maybe it always feels like

Everything is over

Maybe your heart is sinking

No warmth to have it cover

But when the good comes

Shortly arrives the bad

And it will be like this forever

Then why grief is only which you must clad

Just remember this

It is all pros and no con

Because the carousel of life

Will always go on and on

शायद हमें भी था

सुना था यारों की महफिलों में
दोस्तों की जमातों में
दीवानों के झुण्ड में
क्या होता है प्यार
लेकिन जिसने भी पुछा
गर्दन हिला कर साफ़ कहा
हम क्या जाने यार
शान से कहते थे उनसे
अपने को नहीं होने वाला
हम तो यूँ ही अच्छे हैं
खुद हैं इस दिल का रखवाला
लेकिन कुछ समय से शक है
की शायद हमें भी था

बात कुछ भी नहीं थी
बातचीत ही तो सिर्फ होती थी
कब दिल का रुख मुड़ गया
जिद्द्पन का पक्षी उड़ गया
हम नहीं जानते
जानते तो बस इतना
की धीरे धीरे
इंतज़ार होने लगा
मौका ढूँढा जाने लगा
और अपनी जिंदगी में
अजीब उलटफेर हो गया
तभी यह असंभव ख्याल आया
की शायद हमें भी था

हर वो गाना
हर वो तराना
जिसे सुनकर हँसते थे
दीवानों की मजबूरी पर
अब, जब खुद उन्ही मजबूरों में थे
तब पता चला
क्या हुआ करती है
उनकी मजबूरी
खुद पर हँसते
खुद से कहते
आखिर तू भी वहीँ गिरा
जहाँ न गिरना था
तू भी वहीँ फिसला
जहाँ खुद को संभालना था

अजीब सी बेहोशी छाई थी
दिलों दिमाग में
कितना भी खुद को रोकें
नहीं रह पा रहे थे
अपने काबू में
खुद पर झुंझलाते
खुद ही को दुत्कारते
लेकिन जहाँ उनके शब्द आते
हम जैसे की सबकुछ भुला देते
अभी भी रट थी
हमें नहीं है
लेकिन अब सोचते हैं
तो याद आता है
की शायद हमें भी था

उनकी एक तारीफ़ को
बरसों के प्यासे की तरह
हम तरसते थे
और वो जो दो शब्द
हमारी तारीफ़ में बोल देतीं
तो ऐसा लगता की जैसे
सालों बाद बारिश हुई हो
किसी बंजर जमीन पर
लेकिन खुदा जाने क्यूँ
उनकी तारीफ़ करते
हमारी रूह कांपती
हम सोचते
न जाने वो
अपने मन में क्या सोचें
अब लगता है
यहीं गलती हुई
जो हमने दिल की बात
दिल में ही रखी
खैर, जो होना था वो हुआ
अब तो
इसी ख्याल से तसल्ली है
की शायद हमें भी था

एक वो दिन था
एक यह आज का दिन है
भूले नहीं भूल पाते
कितना भी कोशिश करें
नहीं निकाल पाते
जब उन्होंने कहा था
वो किसी और की हैं
उनका दिल किसी और का है
जबरदस्त धक्का लगा हमे
सपने में भी
नहीं सोचा था ऐसा
जो अनहोनी थी
वो हो गयी
जो असंभव था
अब संभव है
वो तो कोई और ही था
हम कभी नहीं
जिसके लिए
दिल उनका धड़कता  था
जिसके साथ वो जिंदगी चाहती थीं
हम तो बस यूँ ही थे
एक अच्छा दोस्त
एक अच्छा सलाहकार
एक अच्छा इंसान
और न जाने क्या क्या
ऐसे मौके पर
झूठ नहीं बोलेंगे
रोये थे, हाँ रोये थे हम
फूट फूट के रोये थे
भ्रम में पड़े हुए थे
की शायद हमें भी था

अब फिर से
सब पटरी पर है
वही यारों की महफ़िलें
वही दोस्तों की जमातें
वही दीवानों के दुखड़े
बात उनसे आज भी होती है
मन ही मन में आज भी रोते हैं
लेकिन अब दिल शांत है
उपर से अब भी धड़कता  है
पर अन्दर बिलकुल शांत है
गर्व है अपने उपर
आज तक किसी को
भनक नहीं पड़ने दी
जो बीती थी हम पर
दोस्तों ने दो एक बार पूछ कर छोड़ दिया
हमने भी हंसी में
अपने दुःख को धूल की तरह उड़ा दिया
जैसे पहले थे
अब भी हैं
कुछ भी नहीं बदला
बदली तो सिर्फ
हमारी सोच
की अब फिर
इस जनम में तो नहीं हो पायेगा हमें
वही जो लगा था
की शायद हमें भी था.....

ALONE IN THE CROWD

I had a lot of things in my mind when I started my college. Some were as I had imagined, and some were not, but one thing is for sure; at any cost I AM doing what I always wanted to and it doesn't matter whatever obstacles come in my path.....

Alone In The Crowd

Far from my home
Estranged and alone
The feeling is not pleasant
Confronted and forlorn

It is not the same
As I had in my mind
Flamboyantly lame
I still have to find

Indeed I am here
Where I intended to
But still it's not fair
Unlike what I expected to

Whatever seems so bad
Ultimately makes me proud
Within it may be sad
Being so alone in the crowd

Alone in the crowd
World is noisy and loud
But don't they use to say
It's when success is allowed?

I am after the ray
Which I chased for so long
So why give up now
With such hurdles in the way

Heard it since my childhood
Success has its price
Will try as hard as I could
To get rid of all this vice

Doesn't matter to me
Whatever it will take
I shall surely be there
Where my true destiny prevails

Alone in the crowd
In the fire of loom
I will let myself shroud
To make a comeback very soon

Alone in the crowd
I am alone in the crowd

MORTAL GOD

Stuffs have happened in my life which forced me to suspect dear God's immortality.......

Mortal God

I cried on my knees,
I begged to release,
Tried my hard to be the best,
Who can make you please.

But now it seems another way
You too are touched by the mortal ray
Your immortality is evaporated I say
So why the hell now I should pray

For a long time of my apocalypse, I seek for mercy
Not much mind you, just a little uplifted foresee
But in return of all this, whatever I get
Was nothing much but total loss, frustration and regret.

Nothing is in you, as my father used to tell
Far from securing heaven, my life is converted into hell
Whatever I always expected, the opposite happened to me
The more I trusted you, the farther I fall into deep.

If you think me being blasphemous,
You are damn right
Because things around made me assured,
God is in mortal world of freight.

SIMPLICITY REDEFINED

Since I started writing poems, I always wanted to write a Rap. Eventually, I got the very topic to write one.

Simplicity Redefined

Come on all you guys!
Get ready for the hype!
Set it in the move!!
Bring in all the groove!!

This is a story of all simple blokes,
No alcohol for them it's only Coke.
They're very very commoner in the town,
But oops ya, don't you dare think 'em of a pawn.

They're the one with some really good stuffs ya
They got the guts that would've rocked the town ya
But they chose for low,
As everything would be slow.

They're the kinda guys whom gals really hate.
Far from loving them they would die if its a mate.
But they cared a shit,
Let go it in a pit.

That's the guys like me......ya......ya
That's the guys like you.....ya.......ya

It teases them a little,
But nothing to get brittle,
'Cause the guys I am talking 'bout
 Is in everyone's mitten.

So give a clap up,
Give a clap down,
Show some respect you dumb.
Don't be such a clown.

It's the guys like me.......ya.......ya
It's the guys like you.......ya......ya

Whatever they say, tomorrow is ours,
We are the one who will have all the power.
Being a simple, was never a sin,
It's just like having another kin.

Those who say against, fuck 'em in the mouth!
What they really need is a blow job in the south!!
So get cherished, it's all accomplished,
We are the one who got a good finish.

What I said before, I am saying now,
Simplicity never makes you act like a cow.
It's the style which meagre can't get in,
It's the policy which is best in runnin'.

So laugh out loud,
Blow the saddening clouds.
It's what makes us best,
Nothing was ever waste.

Get a move on,
Get a hype on,
Shake it in your body,
Make it all groove on.

'Cause we are the simple ones.........ya......ya
We got the applauding tonnes...........ya........ya
So get it now my friend,
Nothing is to lend,
Now I finish my story trend.

HO CHALI SHURUAT

After a long time I wrote this poem in Hindi because I was missing my first language a lot and besides that, I thought it would be best to write these thoughts in Hindi to make it more clear.

हो चली शुरुआत

मिल गए गर सपने जो धूल में
तो क्या छुट गयी आस
अभी न जाने पल हैं कितने
मायने जो रखते ख़ास

उठो रे मानुष अब तुम जागो
निराशा के बंधन को फेंको
सारी कठिनायियो को दे दो मात
अब हो चली शुरुआत

अब हो चली शुरुआत
मुश्किलों को गले लगाने की
अब हो चली शुरुआत
कंटका - कीर्ण  रस्तों पे चलने की

अब इनसे डरना है क्या
अब इनसे छिपना है क्या
पानी है जो मंजिल अपनी
तो फिर इनसे बचना है क्या

सफलता है नहीं नपती
उन्चायियो  से जो तुमने पाई
सफलता उससे है नपती
ठोकरे जो उन तक  तुमने खायी

याद करोगे एक ये भी दिन
जब सारी दुनिया थी अन्धकार में लीन
याद आयेगी तब वो बात
जब हुई थी एक शुरुआत
