akal

jindagi jinko samajh aa gayi
un logon ki phehrist main
shamil hum nahin
kya ik baar jeete hain hum
sau baar janam nahi?

phehrist = list
akal = intelligence

so it ends
into the endless
and so it begins

antar

vishwas nahi hota
ki mujhmain bhi chupe hain angar kahin
aiye aa-ee-ne tu phir se dekh
teri nazaron ko kahin dhoka toh nahi?

- bas yun hi

:)

touch of the sun

main aur kya kahon
ehsason ke samandar main
paani hi paani hai

- as one of my friends would say.. kya value add kiya?

badlav

nayi jagah mili, yaar mile, nayi maujen milin
lekin ajeeb si baat hai
phir se juda waise man nahi

jab hari ghans par kabhi dophar ki girti dhoop dekh kar
kabhi aasmaan phaili raat ke chamakte tare dekh kar
man yuhin bhar jata tha
aaj bhi din wahi, raat wahi, mausam wahi
par phir se juda waise man nahi

jab kuch yaaden yuhin aa jaati hain
man khali sa ho jaata hai
kabhi kuch der mile raston se bani
tang galiyon main kho jaata hai
raste yaar jagah manjilen
sab badal gaye hain
lekin dil ke kuch kone hain shayad
jinmain badle hum nahin

mauj=waves,joy

chauk

wahi sooraj wahi dharti
kuch kadam chal rahe hum wahin
na jaane kyun
kabhi main nahi mila
kabhi tum nahi
kabhi waqt nahi mila
aur kabhi man nahi

- took inspiration from the poetry in zindagi
na milegi dobara, to write something

monsoon

it rains here now, these days
I made a visit to a store in the evening after dark
as it rained.
the roads were empty
on the highway ahead, some traffic passed by
As I turned a lane, it seemed to fall silently
though it made a splatter on the buildings
some leaves there.
I was reminded of another times
when it snowed
it got very quiet.
When I reached the stores
there were people, traffic
lights and honks
as it rained.

bhool dhool

chehre thame nahi
badalte gaye
faiz bhool the
chehre chehre tah gaye
faiz dhool the
chehre chehre rah gaye

- bah, just wanted to write.
