darwaaze se....



darwaze se aate to accha tha,
par, yun guftgu ka mazza bhi kuch aur hi hai,
aate to kayi aur bhi hai,
tum thoda aur paas aate, to accha tha,

रोज़ नए लोग मिलते है....

रोज़ नए लोग मिलते है,
मुझे ताकते है,
मेरा विश्लेषण करते है,
सहानुभूति से मुझे देखने लगते है,
उन्हें मालूम हो जाता है,
बुरा हुआ है,

रोज़ नए लोग मिलते है,
दोस्त कहाँ है?
मैं गुमराह हुआ हूँ ?
या, शहर नया है?

एक अनजान व्यक्ति,
मेरे कंधे पे हाथ रखता है,
अपना रास्ता पूंछता है,
कहता है, सुनता है,
रास्ता, 
एक ही मंजिल पर लिए चलता है,

नया सिलसिला शुरू होता है,

रोज़ नए लोग मिलते है,
मेरा साया ढलता है,

रोज़ नए लोग मिलते है,

Pain A Fashion...

don't make pain a fashion,
its causing harm to the nation,
you ain't doing any good too,
its no donation,
pain won't bring the rain,
it won't make the orphanage,
happiness would still live in the streets,
pain won't leave the palace,

its a dirty general,
making your army of thoughts lose,
you would again fall,
take a wrong decision,
and crown the pain,

don't win the pain,
don't earn the pain,
don't wear it,
it would tarnish your image,

throw it in the dustbin,
or cut it into threads,
then burn it,
don't burn in it,
it's flames won't fade,

its nothing but fad,
soon it would become a dull dress,
don't make pain a fashion....

Darwaze khad khadana band karo......


Darwaze Khad khadana band karo,
khidkiyon ko to baksh do,
chatt to kab kee le ja chuke ho,
diwaro ko to chhod do....

kehdiya na kitni baar,
hum bheek nahi denge iss baar, 
tum bheek ka apman karte ho,
kisi kone mein jaake roz sharaab peete ho,

jannato ke raaste jaate nahi jahnamon se hoke,
tum bakwas baat karte ho,
jaana hai tumko jahanum, to jaao na,
kyun humara waqt barbaad karte ho,

Darwaze Khad khadana band karo,
khidkiyon ko to baksh do,
chatt to kab kee le ja chuke ho,
diwaro ko to chhod do....

I won't write Poetry today...

I won't write poetry today,
poetry is what people don't understand,
they attach it to themselves,
they derive their lives from it,
they think its for them,

some do a bit more,
they dare to dive into its depth,
to find pearls hidden in it,
to find rocks lying in it,
naive swimmers, sink,

then blame the poet,
for creating such an illusion,
who all did was, built a boat,
so they could sail,
but they chose, not to,

their choice kills all three of them...

O' brainy Madame...


she has her head in hand,
takes out what she likes out of it,
never finds that little thing,
buffalo ate when she was a kid,
O' brainy Madame....

O' brainy Madame....

you walk down the street,
never talk to anyone,
just keep on walking,
in disgusting streets,
you think,

O' brainy Madame....
O' brainy Madame...

O' brainy Madame...
take a left turn..
into the tall building...
a handsome sits...
a bastard sits...
go seduce him...
with your calculations...
up and down curves...
take him down...
be his boss...

be his boss....
O' brainy Madame....

O' brainy Madame...
O' brainy Madame....
you can shake a leg,
you can break a leg,
you can earn a hell,
just go to hell,

just go to hell,
sentiment less,
just go to hell,

sentiment less....
sentiment less...
sentiment less.....

just go to hell...
get a cure....
sentiment less...
go to hell....
sentiment less...

O' brainy Madame...
O' brainy Madame.....

Lore......



http://www.dailypioneer.com/home/online-channel/360-todays-newspaper/86835-mass-murder-of-egret-chicks-shocks-ukhand.html


(Inspired by the above News)


An egret,
fell down on a tree,
exhausted, flying free,
made a home of hopes,
with twigs and grass as props,

then sang, all its lore,
for long and long,
till others like it came,
to sing the lore,

years passed by,
school came up nearby,
little kids got confused,
between the lore,
and the words that adore,
the walls of world,
words made no sense to them,
they chose bird's song,

then sang and sang bird's lore,
for long and long,
kids went wild,
hummed and hummed the lore,
asleep, in the night,

authorities lost control,
thought out of the box,
took a saw, cut the tree,
and slit the throats,
of the birds,
of the kids.
who sang and sang the lore,

tu baras.....



tu baras...
arre! baras,
tu baras, jismon jaan ke dhaage udhed de,
tu adal badal karde jismon jaan sabke,

tu baras...
tu baras, aasmaan mein aag laga,
tu baras ki koi aur aankh utha ke na dekhe,

arre! baras,
tu baras....

tu baras lahu luhan dhang bhang karde,
tu saari mara maari hal karde,
hathiyaron ka bhog laga,
tu hatyara ban har dukh ka katl karde,

jo ghar mein baithe hai dubke, unko ghar mein quaid karle,
aisa baras, ki jo bahar aaye hai, agli baar aane ki himmat na karde,

jag saara tera hai,
jag tere bina kaha tehra hai,
jo chaahe wo karle,
apni aukaad puri dikhake,
tu sabko unki aukaad dikha de,

arre! Baras…
tu baras….

bakwaas baazi...

tum kyun khuda hone chale ho,
tum kyon khuda khud sa banane chale ho,
jaana hai tumko jahannum, to jaao na,
tum kyun auron ki jannatein cheen ne chale ho...


1       mushkilon mein nikali naav,
      ek baar nikalne par, samudron mein waapis nahi jaati,
      samudron ki raani bankar...kisi mahal mein raaz karti hai,



1    jaaduon ki kami nahi hai iss duniya mein,
      jaaduon ki kami nahi hai iss duniya mein, 
      jadugar bas ik tum ho, humein pata hai…

how far have you come from....


,

how far have you come from,
how far you intend to go,
are you taking a rest,
or that's it, this is your nest,

तुम  दूर  दूर  की  दुनिया  में ,
सैर  करके  आये  हो ,
कुछ  देखा  भी  हैया  युहीं  चले  आये  हो ,

कहते  है  वहां  चाँद  रात  को  आता  है ,
लोगों  को  कहानिया  सुनाता  है ,
सूरज  थक  हार  के , जल  जलाके
पानी  में  डुबकी  लगाता  है ,
फिर  सुबह  सुबह  तैयार  होके  आसमान  में  चला  जाता  है ,

दिनभर  सब  अपनी  ही  धुन  में  चलते है ,
आँखों  से  आँखें  भी  नहीं  मिलाते  है ,
फिर  जब  ज़रुरत  पड़ती  है
तो  अपने  से  छोटे  को  खा  जाते  है ,
अजीब  अजीब  दानव  है ,
अजीब  अजीब  उनके  ठिकाने है ,
रहस्यों  के    जाने  कितने  ही  खजाने है ,

क्या  ये  सच  है  जो  तुम्हारी  तरह  यहाँ  चलके  आया  है ,
या  ये  भी  पुरानी कहनियों  का  किस्सा  है ,
जो  उस  पार  से  इस  पार  तैरके आया  है,

how far have you come from,
how far you intent to go,
are you taking a rest,
or that's it, this is your nest,

तेरी जाने की तारीकियों में....


तेरी जाने की तारीकियों में,
कुछ यूँ महूब रहते हैं,
कि तेरी कमी अब कम खलने लगी है,

मशरिक से मगरिब तक,
जो आँखें तुझे निहारा करती थी,
तेरे सौन्दर्य को सराहा करती थी,
वो तल्खियों में तब्दील हो गयी है,

बरतरी है  ये हमारी कि,
अमन--आलम की खातिर,
तू जिस्त जी रही है,
वरना खंजर कई दिल से निकल निकल,
तेरे गुदाज बदन का पता पूँछ रहे है,

शमा जलाये रखना,
खलाओं से दूर रहना,
उनमें हम बसे हुए है,
तेरी खामोशियों का बंदोबस्त कर रहें है,

तेरी जाने की तारीकियों में,
कुछ यूँ महूब रहते हैं,
कि  तेरी कमी अब कम खलने लगी है,

when the rain stops


when the rain stops,
and leaves are drenched,
cleansed,of all,   
of all, they have gone through,
the little bird feeds its children,
with droplets, droplets of elixir,

people in zigzag random motion,
on the way to their abode,where,
they are heading,thinking of heading,
make melodious sounds with their flip flops,
mapping the destiny of an old musician,
who sits on the roadside,soaked with ideas,
in draught of imagination,
chords of his instrument thirsty for inspiration,
choke out voice of desperation,

sky looks down on the artist,
in courtyard of colors,
painting it in depression,
of his beloved's separation,

a shabby looking young woman,
burns her house, whose flames,
invisible, rise up,
reach to the heaven,
smoke the eyes, of those living there,

kids in the street,
and old fellas,
join their lives,
by dancing their hearts out,
for a while,
generating a wind,
which holds the hand,
and walks with time,
