Two souls united at distance
Shared all their dreams…
Now at a yard’s existence
Silence quietly screams…
-----------------
She so yearned for intimacy
While meeting face to face…
There crept a feeling of inadequacy
And instead she spelt SPACE…
-----------------
To dab the tears of passers by,
Armed with compassion I flee…
Yet the pain in your eyes
I could never see…
-----------------
Everywhere the lamp goes
Its light faithfully trails…
Yet underneath itself
Darkness prevails…

Aaj tum jo mujhse
duur khadi ho itne;
Yeh duuri kahin tumhari
tum-hi-se toh nahin?
Ghulaam kuch lafzon ki
bas hai yeh bebasi,
Is bebasi ki khamoshi
tum-hi-se toh nahin?
Roshni ke daayre
kuch kam se ho gaye,
In andheron ki khalish
tum-hi-se toh nahin?
Chalte hai kuch kadam
hum tum aaj bhi, Yeh
Duuri sadak pe nahin,
dilon mein hai kahin.
Duuriyan seh lenge hum
Nazdikiyon se darr lagta hai
Nazdikiyon se duuriyon ka safar
Dil mein kuch gadta sa hai...
Yun toh yeh kambakht bebasi
lafson ki ghulaam hai
Par kya karen gar khaamoshi
dil ki mehmaan hai?
Roshni ki yeh chakachond
Aankhon mein chubh jaati hai
Andheron ki sheetal nami
Palken geeli kar jaati hai...
Yuhin saath chalke kuch kadam
Yahin kahin mud jaayenge
Sadkon pe kuch dhundle nishaan
Aur dil mein naam reh jaayenge.
Shikwa kuch tum se nahi
Gila bas khud se hi hai
Mil toh len tum se magar
Juda bas khud se hi hain...
Aakash this was so beautiful aakash. Touching and poignant... I was speechless for several minutes... :-)
And then you humble me with your creation, jaise kahti hain aap, chakachondh!
Aaj khud ka kya kahun
kuch soojhta nahin hai
Jo kuch kahna tha tumse
shaayad yahin kahin hai
Roothna manaana apna
toh apne haath mein hai
aur aankh khuli toh sapna
tumhare saath mein hai
Judaa rahkar khud se tum
kahaan mujhse mil paoge
Shikwon mein rahkar gum
tum mere jaise ban jaoge
Chhod kar jo bhi hai
apne aapse tumhein gila
Sahej lo hatheli mein
yeh jo ek pal mila
"Chhod kar jo bhi hai
apne aapse tumhein gila
Sahej lo hatheli mein
yeh jo ek pal mila"
waah waah! bahut hi behtereen...
And humble you... I cant... I am not capable of...
I just enjoy a poetic conversation with you... and attempt to catch up :-)
Cheers!
I do not say
not now or ever
that you purposedly
humble me.
But often or not
across your verse
whenever i stumbled
left a bit humbled.
:)
And i throoughly enjoy it too. Though like a writer i am all interested in knowing what lies beneath these lines.
Akash and Meenaxi
yeh jugalbandi lafjon ki yun na rokiye..
kuchh shakhs aise bhi hain jo inpe hi marte hain...
@Aakash: :-)
Oh! see me in these words,
They are just like ME...
A star in the galaxy,
A drop in the sea...
Venture not beyond these words
An abysm dark and blue...
I have lost ME in it
You will lose YOU too.
Arre Puneet sahab,
Hum toh shaayar hain,
Humein insaan ke kaam na den...
Hum toh shabdon par marte hain,
Humein kaatil ka naam na den...
Waah waah! Waah waah!
Both at what you wrote for me and Puneet as well.
You heed me a caution
to not venture beyond
i do not even know
what lies there
You tell me you are
just like your words
in those very words
i'm lost somewhere.
See you with the Godot (and that happens to be one of my fav plays)
@ Aakash: Shukriya :-)
Lose not yourself in my words,
They are but shallow like me...
In a moment they would die away,
Where then will thou find thee?
yeh baddapan hai unka ya ghayal ki hai takdeer
na chah hai jinhe insaan ke naam ki...
Mar bhi jaayen, aur katl kar bhi jaayen
par na aaye kisi pe ilzaam bhi....
Waah waah! Puneet sahab kya baat hai...
Waise maine aapka blog visit kiya... Your incident about traffic police reminded me of a similar incident that I witnessed... Traffic police are not that bad after all... Par aapne woh post delete kyun kar diya?
I should call myself lucky. Its actually your writtings which have impressed me thoroughly. Am just wondering how can someone think so similar to me !
Thanks for your compliments !
I know I will continue to visit your pages. Thanks for stopping by.
Thank you Aks... that was very heart warming :-)
Cheers!
