लोग कहते हैं बहुत सुन्दर घर बनाया है

इंटे जोड़ी थी, ख़ून का सीमेंट लगाया था,

फिर वक़्त की तराई की थी, और एहसास का पलस्तर लगाया था,

फ़र्श के नीचे दर्द को दबाया था, आँसुओं से फ़र्श चमकाया था,

दीवारों पर ख़ुशी के रँग बिखेरने की चाहत की थी,

पलकों के दरवाज़े लगाये हैं,

सिसकती ख्वाहिशों के परदे टाँगे हैं,

और एक घर बनाया है, एक सपना बहुत पुराना सजाया है,

जब तक घर बनाया, कितने अरमान थकावट के पलंग पर सो गए,
कब इन आँखों के सपने खो गए,
और फिर हर साल ज़िन्दगी से रँग चुराकर दीवारों पर करवाया है,
आशियाँ बनाते बनाते इस दिल के घर का नज़रबट्टू लगाया है,

अपने दर्द को पिरोकर एक माला बनाई थी,
घर के मंदिर में टंगी है अभी,
कुछ बीमारियों की ख़ूबसूरत टाइल्स लगायी हैं,
कुछ नकली सी हँसी के हैंडल दरवाज़ों पर लगे हैं जो चमकते हैं,
भूली बिसरी यादोँ की चिटकनियाँ लगायी हैं,
एक डर से बना हुआ बहुत ऊँचा मज़बूत गेट लगाया है,
जहाँ से इंसानियत अंदर झाँक न सके ऐसा बनाया है,

 चेहरे की झुर्रियों की कुछ सीढ़ियाँ बनाई हैं,
अपने सफ़ेद बालों की ग्रिल लगाई है,
अपने खोये हुए वक़्त की टंकियाँ छत पर पानी स्टोर करने के लिए लगायी हैं,
आस का सुन्दर फ़र्नीचर है पूरे घर में,
बिजली के कनैक्शन के लिए पापा का डैथ सर्टिफिकेट लगाया है,
पानी के कनैक्शन के लिए माँ का डैथ सर्टिफिकेट लगाया है,

















और गली से गुज़रते लोग यही कहते हैं,
घर बहुत सुन्दर बनाया है,
हाँ , घर बहुत सुन्दर बनाया है,
इंसानियत की भेट चढ़ाया है,
हाँ , मैंने एक बहुत सुन्दर घर बनाया है I

On This Mother's Day To Mother Nature

How many of Us actually Thanked Mother Earth?

Lost we are that we forgot our Universal Mother,
Why don't we love her today,
Promise her that we will protect her,
Care for her and spoil it less,

Oh! Mother when you are not there,
I have another mother who loves me still,
She is part of this Universe,
And listens to me coz You are away,

Oh mother! She loves me a lot,
She caresses me with the cool air in summers,
And with warmth in winters,
She sends cold freezing water in summers to quench my thirst,
And hot springs for the winters,

 Mother she is as loving as You are,
She gets angry sometimes,
Most of the times maintains her cool,
Mother we humans torture her,
But she still sings the lullaby to us,
She still has the same heart as You,

Mother You are not there to scold me,
But I have a care taker for me,
She puts me back to learn the lesson of life,
Because I get betrayed so many times,



Mother, I miss You tonnes,
I met another mother few months ago,
I found her the same,
As blinded as You were for me,
This is true my loving Mom,
All mothers are the same,
Embodiment of a mother is impossible,
So the great Lord sent Mother Nature to Us.

Waqt Ud Chala Kahin

Ek waqt tha tere haathon mein,
Ek waqt tha mere haathon mein,
Ab jo ud chala parindey ki tarah,
To kahan dhoondhta hai khwabon mein...

Tasveer thi teri lakeeron mein,
Tasveer thi meri lakeeron mein,
Jo gum gayi is andhi mein,
To kahaan dhoondhtey ho raaton mein...

Rakh shikayat mujhse kabhi,
Itna to keh de ruk ke kabhi,
Na tum they sahi na main thi sahi,
Chaand ki tarah aaina bhi bedaag nahi...

Yeh kasoor tera nahi, 

Yeh kasoor mera nahi,
Main to thoonth hoon is jungle mein kahin,
Mujh par to parindey bhi nahi baitha kartey kabhi...

Human Plight

Amidst the forest deep, I squander and ponder like a sheep,

Huge trees and weeds, I wonder where will humans reach?

  

Relentless seeds of greed, yonder I see,

Envy has seeped, distorted humanity is !

Into the heart it slowly creeps, no one takes a heed,

So I thought I go into the forest deep, spotting the need,

 Not enough is left to feed, impoverishment reeks,

Ardent philanthropists are fast asleep,

Screaming subsidy peevish hunger pleads,

Satiated have empathy, sympathy we do not need,

I wonder when kindness will reap,

Rich are floating in bliss, roaring souls appeal,

Only the peasantry deceived, will the anguish cease,

When will the humanity speak to take a leap,

Here I remember the deeds,Values our parents peaked, 

Alas! money begets money,The Poor is born to grieve.

LIFE AT STANDSTILL

From morning till night my life swoops down,
Tiresome it might seem, in love I am in,
I love the four walls of my room,
They see me growing everyday.

I love the ceiling over my head,
It keeps telling me that God is overhead,
I have worked day and night,
Boredom I do not dislike.

Dreams are not so high,
The tides make them die,
And here I wait for no one,
As there is stillness in the sky.

Cocoon is warm inside,
Hardly I go outside,
From visitors I try to hide,
In my bed I sleep tight.

For growth we need to go soul inside,
Not this daunting World outside,
How do I tell this world?
I am not that girl they saw a few times.

The Game of Words

The Game of words Contemporary humans play,
This is  what I see everyday.
A World of broken promises and dreams,
I see them in the garden of life everyday.

Blame game is easy always,
Difficult the fair way is,
Sweet the forbidden fruit is,
That's why sinning the World is.

Not just us poets and writers do this,
The people young and old all do it,
Son and daughter lying to the parents,
Spouses lying to the love forever,
Couples modifying the truth.

Marketing strategies is a dignified word for it,
Socially used by every section of society it is,
That is the reason why humanity is lost,
We spend all day in playing this game.

We are tired but we can't quit,
For noone wants to lose the game,
How can we have so many winners,
That's the reason why despair conspires.

Falsehood is what we carry in our hearts,
Not that the mind gives this spark,
Greed is what consumes our love,
Responsibilities just break us apart.

BIZARRE RELATIONSHIPS

You I thought could be the man of my dreams,

You turned out to be the same deception,

This is the reason why I don't comply,

This is the reason why I don't put down my armour.

No feeling is left inside of me,

How should I open my heart and make you see,

Trust once broken was broken forever,

Heart once broken was broken forever.

No tears, no regrets and no expectations,

That's the way I am and will remain,

No matter what you feel today,

It's better to be beside the truth than falsity.

Follies I don't count, feelings I count,

Truth I count,transparency I count,

Alas I din't find it again,

In a human being I must say.
