Mind covering a day for me?

Would you mind covering a day for me?
Coz I have really planned a lot of things to do today

Have a long pending song I wanted to learn
Since the day I picked up my first guitar

And I really want to complete my half read favourite book this time
Can’t even tell how excited I was when I bought it last year

Will try to finish up the blogs that were started with so much enthu
But never saw an end just because I got too lazy to write

And there is this really nice place to eat I starred on google maps
I bet they serve the most delicious Idlis ever

Don’t even ask about my favourite people I haven’t seen in months
A sip of tea and gossips with them would sure cheer me up

And hey, my bike has been complaining that I don’t love her anymore
What do you say I show her some really nice curves up the hills

Also have to pick a pair of dumbbells from that store I never stepped in before
And show my mirror that dude, I can lift more than a laptop

Even a day of doing just nothing and listening to my favourite songs
Would be a lot better than any other regular day

You see. There is all this stuff I want to do
And a never ending thought of things I could have done in days before

So seriously, would you mind covering a day for me?

तू बोल मत तू कर दिखा

तू बोल मत तू कर दिखा
अपनी लकीरें खुद लिख आ,
आए जो मुश्किल रास्तों में
तू बिखर मत तू निखर जा

तेरी मंजिलें आसान नहीं
अभी, तेरी कोई पहचान नहीं
मिल जाए सब जहाँ सतह पर
ऐसी कहीं कोई खान नहीं

और जहाँ चला इस बार है तू
है एक कोयले की खान वो
मटमैल तर हो जाएगा
पर पायेगा पहचान को

बस मत सोचना कितने दबे है
हीरे उस बंजर ज़मीं में
जो काबिल हुआ तो लाख हैं
जो ना हुआ सब राख है

गिरने लगे जो हौसला
है बुलंद कितनी अकड़ दिखा
तू रुक नहीं तू थक नहीं
तू बोल मत बस कर दिखा

नया साल मुबारक

बीता साल कुछ यूं गुज़रा
दोस्त कुत्ते बने और कुत्ते दोस्त

जो चाहते थे, वो एक बार फिर ना कर सके
और कुछ अनचाहे पलों से रूबरू भी होना पड़ा

देखा जाए, तो मुझे गर्व नहीं है इस बीते साल पे
क्या कुछ गलतियां नहीं की, कोई कसर नहीं छोड़ी शायद

जहां भागना था वहां बैठे रह गए
जहां संभल के चलना था वहां आंख मूंद दौड़ पड़े

रास्ता बाएं ओर का था तो हम दीवाने दाएं चल दिए
मंज़िल खुद चलके भी आती तो हम मुह मोड़ लेते

—

पटाखों के शोर में कल जब दो पल शांति तलाश रहे थे
और इस सोच में डूबे थे कि आज ये जाम खुशी का बनेगा या गम का

तो एक पल को ये खयाल आया, कि शायद इसको देखने का नजरिया कुछ ठीक नहीं
शायद नए साल का मतलब सिर्फ पुराने पन्नों को पलटना नहीं

ये हमारे लिए एक और मौका है
कोरी किताब पे फिर से कुछ लिख जाने का

जो अब तक नहीं पा सके उसके पीछे फिर से दौड़ जाने का
और एक और मौका अपने सपनों के और करीब आने का

ये सिर्फ एक नया दिन नहीं को महज एक सेकंड में बदल गया था
ये एक नई ऊर्जा है जो पूरे तीन सौ पैंसठ दिन साथ रहने वाली है

बात बस थोड़ी थोड़ी समझ आ ही रही थी
और थोड़ा जोश जुटाकर हम भी कुछ नया लिखने बैठ गए थे

पर जो जाम आधा गले से उतर चुका था
सारे उत्साह कि धज्जियां उड़ाते हुए नींद के आगोश में कुछ यूं ले गया

कि क्या नया और क्या पुराना, सब पे रायता फैल गया।

Samay – समय

समय आजकल कुछ ठीक से कटता नहीं
लोग भी कुछ खास नज़र नहीं आते

कुछ जो पहले साथ हुआ करते थे
उनको साथी मिल गया
बाकी जो कभी दिख जाते थे यहां वहाँ
उनको अब बन्द कमरों में ज्यादा सुकून है

और वक़्त भी जो पहले यूँ ही कट जाया करता था
वो आजकल काटने को दौड़ता है

बिस्तर उठा के कहीं निकल जाने में ही भलाई है।

Kaise Bayaan Karun

Tujhe dekhkar meri aankhon ko jo sukun milta hai
Main kaise bayaan karun
Tujhe sochkar meri baaton me jo junoon dikhta hai
Main kaise bayaan karun

Kaise bayaan karun, apne pichle kuch mahinon ki tadap ko
Aur kaise bayaan karun, apne dil se hui us din ki jhadap ko
Jab ye tha to mere paas, par dhadka tumhaare liye tha
Jab ye khushi se naacha to tha, par bol aur geet tumhare the

Kaise bayaan karun, main is aalam-e intezaar ko
Aur kaise bayaan karun, tere dar pe lage us darbaar ko
Jahan main tha ik fariyaadi, apna dil dene aaya tha
Charche the jiske husn ke har gali, ik dafa mil lene aaya tha

Ab?dekho ek ye aaj ka din hai
Jab teri khusboo, meri saanson ka ik hissa si lagti hai
Aur doori jo thi darmiyaan, ab koi purana kissa si lagti hai

Kis kadar tere nashe mein main dooba hua hun
Kaise bayaan karun
Tujhe paakar main jo aaj yun poora hua hun
Kaise bayaan karun

I started writing this before my brother’s marriage. Plan was to make him recite this on stage in front of everyone for Bhabhi. But couldn’t finish it on time and gave him the half cooked(only first two stanzas) thing. More than two months got over and finally I decided to finish it today.

And just for fun, this was the actual ending I came up with earlier 🙂

Tujhe paakar main jo aaj yun poora hua hun
Main kaise bayaan karun
Tujhe saamne roz dekhkar jo phool ke?bhatura hua hun
Main kaise bayaan karun

Mere hothon pe tera naam na aaye

Mere hothon pe tera naam na aaye,
Kabhi aisi koi shaam na aaye.

 

Gar tu mujhe ek pal bhula bhi de,
Bharke in aankhon ko rula bhi de,
Kar bhi de tu chahe apne dil se judaa,
Tere pyaar ko chahe khud jhuthala de khudaa.

Doob ke bhi sharaabon mein tujhe yaad karunga,
Bas tere pyaar ko mita de aisa jaam na aaye.

Masoom Si Khwahish

Badi masoom si khwahish hai is dil ki
Ye pyaar bhi karna chahta hai
Aur khush bhi rehna chahta hai
Yeh chahta bhi hai rishton ko nibhana
Par na thokar khana chahta hai
Aur na rokar jana chahta hai

Ye sath bhi deta hai
Apne jazbaat bhi deta hai
Doobe jo rishton ki naiya
To badhkar hath bhi deta hai

Ye samajhta bhi hai
Aur samjhaata bhi hai
Roothe jo koi
To manata bhi hai

Par phir bhi na jane
Kyu reh jata hai akela
Samete apni khwahish ko
Ankahi har farmaish ko

Bas ek choti si to zid ki thi
Mera hath pakad kar chalte tum
Mayus jo hota ek pal ko
Seene se jakad kar bharte tum

Aur karte na jo fikr meri
Man rakhne bhar ko keh dete
Ki dil me basa k rakhte hain
Seene se laga kar rakhte hain

Khush ho lete itne mein
Kabhi jyada na manga tumse
Dost ki hi darkar thi tumse
Koi vaada na manga tumse

Itna sa tum na kar paye
Ab tumse aur mai kya mangu
Bas masoom si khwahish rehti hai
Ashkon ki numaish rehti hai

Par aaj ae dil tu kyun roya
Jo kabhi tha na tera, use kya khoya

You were, You are and You will, Always be a Part of My Life

My life took an unexpected turn today.
A part of mine
That was meant to amend me
Whenever I broke down
A part of mine
That was meant to comfort me
Whenever my pains get unbearable
A part of mine
That I felt would always believe in me
Even when whole world defies my existence
A part of mine
That I thought would never say no
Whenever I need someone to be at my side
That part just left me
With such a short notice
That I didn’t even get time grasp the situation
I wasn’t prepared for something like this to happen
Nor was I aware that the tree
That we flourished with years of trust and love
Was so weak to withstand a single stroke

I never knew
How important it was
To pinch everyone every time
To remind them of their existence in our life
How important it was
To make a list of things that will go wrong
If that someone is found absent for a long time
And send them as daily newsletter to every person
How important it was
To let them know every day
That they mean a lot in our small world
So stop taking tests every time, leaving us heartbroken
How important it was
To ignore our passion our work our desires
Just to make that someone feel special
Else they would find themselves obsolete from our lives

Yes I failed on all these grounds
I never made you feel special
Although you were the first person
With whom I shared all goods and bads of my life
I never poked you every day with a message
Although that day would have no meaning
If you were not there to accompany me

Yes I failed every time you tested me
Yes I gave my work a priority over you
Yes I wasn’t there every time you need me
Yes I wasn’t there to catch your tears every time before they fall
But that doesn’t make me a heartless guy
Nor it means I don’t care for you

No matter how worst things get between us
No matter how wrong my words sound to you
You were, You are and You Will
Always be a part of my life

Part Of My Life

Rishtey Dilon Ke

Kya do dilon ke rishtey
Kamjor hote hain itne
Ki bikhar kar toot jaayein
Majboot ho chahe kitne

Saalon ki baandhi ye dor
Jispe kehte hai hum humein naaz hai
Kya aaj bhi hai resham ki buni
Kya aaj bhi shabdon ki mohtaaj hai

Har pal tujhe chaha, har pal tujhe samjha
Sabkuch kiya tera, jo bhi kuch khaas tha
Sehem jo gayi tu, kabhi duniya ke darr se
Roya tere sang, mera saaya tere paas tha.

Lafzon me jo tu bayaan na karti
Nigahon se padh li teri har ek woh baat
Dil jo dhadka tera, jaane se mere
Thama hai mene har pal tera hath

Phir aaj kya hui, khata aisi humse
Jo baithi ho yun, gumsum murjhayi si
Andekha jo kar gaya, ek pal ko tujhko
Tune to kar li, humse ruswayi si

Duniya ki sari, nafrat seh lenge
Gar tu humse naraj nahi
Dilon ke jo rishtey hote hain
Woh shabdon ke mohtaaj nahi

Happy New Year 2013

Wishing all my Blog Followers, readers and visitors, and also to everyone out there, a very very happy and prosperous New Year 2013.

Happy New Year 2013

May this year come with a lot of happiness and memorable moments to all of you and may God fulfill all your dreams and wishes (positive ones only that do not harm others :)).

As a blogger, my New Year resolution would be to make quality content that can entertain you more and more and make you familiar with phases of life I have been through and problems I faced there or the feelings that emerged from my heart.

As a social being, my New Year resolution would be to make this society a better place, not by pointing at others for wrong they did, but by making my own soul pure and free from ill thoughts.

As a student I can’t make any resolutions, as for a student, rules are meant to be broken. And to maintain my own self-respect, I don?t want my rules to be broken by myself. 🙂

As a son, as a brother, as a friend, and for all the relations I hold with my loved ones, my new year resolution would be to keep everyone happy and give them the best I can.

Happy New Year to all of you once again. And call it a co-incidence or something, but 1st day of the year 2013 has fallen on Mangal (Tuesday). Sabka mangal hoga ji. 🙂
