dekha dekhi mein!!

देखा देखी में क्या कर बैठें,
प्यार किसी से था,
और इज़हार किसी और से कर बैठें । 

अब दो कष्ठी में सवार हुए जो,
खुद को ही भूल बैठें। 
जीवन ने भी दी अंगराई,
एक रेस्टोरेंट में दोनों को भुला बैठें,
अब किस टेबल पर जाएँ,
उदास हुए हैं बैठे। 

दिल की सुने या दिमाग की सुने,
हाँ की सने या नाह की सुने,
हमसफ़र किसे बनाए,
मन्नत थी मेरी और दुआ पूरी हुई तेरी,
मालिक तू ही बता,
किस्में तेरी रहमत सूजे ।

Dekha dekhi mein kya kar baithe,
pyaar kisi se tha,
aur izzhar kisi aur se kar baithe.

Ab do kashthi mein sawaar huye jo,
khud ko hi bhool baithe.
Jeevan ne bhi di angrayee,
ek restaurant mein dono ko bhula baithe,
ab kis table par jaaye,
udhaas huye hain baithe.

Dil ki sunae ya dimaag ki sunae,
haan ki sunae ya naah ke sunae,
humsafar kise banaye,
mannat thi meri aur dua puri huyi teri,
maalik tu hi bata,
kisme teri rahmat sujae.

Din dhalta nahi!!!

Zindagi ke apne rang hain,
kissi ko isse khushi hain,
toh kissi toh gum hain!
Par kya yeh Din se kam hain?

Roz subah ek naya din hain,
jo umang aur utsaah se poorn hain!
Par kya aisa din hamesha hain?

hum so called "educated" log,
har subah muh banake uthte hain,
ki aaj office jaana hain,
jaise chota bachcha school ke liye!
Par shayam ka kya plan?

दिल का हाल क्या बताएं ,
जिधर देखें  उधर वोही नज़र आएं ,

फ़र्क नज़र न आए।

phark nazar naah aaye!

लम्हें निकल गए उसके इंतज़ार में,

वह सपने टूट गए सूरज की छाव में।

3. किसी ने पूछा, "क्या चाहते हो?"  हमने कहा ,
रास्तें मिल जाएँ ,
मंज़िल तक पहुँच जाएँ,
और खुदा का शुक्र मनाएं ।
ज़िन्दगी रंगो से भर जाएँ,
इसके अलावा कोई क्या चाहें ,
ऐसे वक़्त गुज़र जाये ।

 kisi ne pucha, " kya chhahte ho?" Humne kaha.
Rashte mil jaye,

Zindagi rango se bhar jaye,
iske alava koi kya chahhe,
aise waqt guzr jaye!

Into the Jungle

Everybody loves Christmas and New Year, the best time to plan holiday. Jaree was excited about the trip, which was in air for few weeks now. Mom and dad was planning for camping in Jungle this time. They had indeed took forest permissions for three days and two nights too.
On Boxing Day, we started our journey to the Jungle around 5 a.m. After a long time Jaree was seeing the sunrise in the clear sky. This was little unusual for Jaree, a college going student who usually used to wake up around 8:30 am, just on-time for reaching college of engineering and later in evening, hanging around with friends late night. The clear sky with warmth of fresh sunlight was new to him. After having breakfast at Local restaurant on the highway, it was 11 a.m. they entered boundaries of the sanctuary.

As the green zone of jungle started, the air became cooler, sounds of bird chirping, and sounds of buzzing and zing-zing of insects started. There seems to be unheard silence around us, it was just sounds of car and jungle. Everybody was excited to be first to cite a animal around the highway. Jaree's eyes were hunting for a sight of animal like a sniper eying his target via field glasses. Mom was watching the other side of the road. Dad had slowed down, just in case anything comes in way. Suddenly, Dad slowed even further and whispered, "Jaree, see those spotted deer on the right side." A herd of deer was roaming near the roadside. "Jaree, see those Bamboos. These seem to 30-40 feet high and do you know that these are the fast growing grass?" "Yes dad! I have known it since my school days. But first time seen them this thick and high", Jaree replied. "You remember the Christmas tree we got this year? There, pointing to diagonally in right hand side to pine tree, that is a fully grown Christmas Tree as you remember seeing in Polar Express movie." All these years, Jaree had never seen skyscraper like trees. Soon, they were at the sanctuary head office, where they verified the amenities needs for camping and started trekking into the jungle.

The Jungle was beautiful in its own way. The trees with different size of leaves, the creepers on some running from bottom to top, the algae on some and the path with dry leaves which seems to whisper as one step on it. Even, though it was sunny day yet the trees with their magnificent size and stretch was hindering the sunlight to reach the land. In the meanwhile, they got to see langurs, monkeys, spotted deer, sambar, bison and peacocks. Jaree’s eyes were continuously flocking around with Camera in hand to shoot the animal. “Can you hear it coming?” Mom asked. Jaree was still guessing the sound, Dad shouted, “Its elephants!! We need to stay together and away from them. If there is calf in the group, they will be watchful.” It was fear of elephants was getting over them. It was indeed 6 or 8 Elephants with calf heading towards them.

In the elephant stampede, how to survive was the big challenge now. The earth has started shaking now. Dad facing the elephants shouted, “Jaree, you take mom and run towards left most side of me. I will run tom my right most side. It will not take too long for elephants to cross us. We will come back once it is done.” “Dad, but how will we reach each other? There is no signal in my phone”, Jaree questioned. “Son, no time to wait here, we will be safe. Just run and keep your mom safe. I will find you!” And so the family parted to opposite directions unaware how and when they will meet. By the time elephants to cross the site, it was about an hour or two. The day had gone to sleep and darkness has spread all over. Jaree and mom were worried and out of fear and panic of the dark, started shouting. Moving slowly forward, they keep on looking for him. And after around 20 minutes, they heard a faint sound. The sound was familiar and was coming from around 50-60 meters. They ran to find dad was twisted his leg and was bleeding. “Thank God”, Jaree whispered to himself and took out the first aid kit.

The trip to jungle was far from scary then. The three built a tent house, bon-fire and spent the night watching one-another’s back. The next morning they went to forest department and happily back home.
“Time is precious and time is all we have.”

A flower for every occasion!

kuch jaana maine!

आज जो मैं खेल खेल बहुत दिंनो के बाद,
जाना मैं भगवान के बारे में बहुत कुछ आज।

हफ्ते में खेलता हूँ क्रिकेट मैं एक बार,
पर भगवान की ये काया को जान पाता हूँ कभी-कभी मेरे यार। कहते है की हम जीव है पर लगता ये सब अजीब है,
जीव एक इंजीन  और भावनाएं इंजीन ऑइल।
अगर भावनाओं के बिना चले यह इंजीन तो,
 Barbeque के oven की तरह हो जाता हैं।
और अगर भावनाओं के साथ चले यह इंजन तोह ,
सागर में मिलती एक नदी बन जाता है।

लेकिन इस संसार में हम कितने सारे,
एक दूसरे को सहारा बनाएं फिरते है!!
क्या कभी मशीन ने मशीन को सहारा दिया हैं??
जब हम जीव अपने सुख में दूसरे को नहीं देख पाते,
तोह अपने दुःख में तो.... भूल जो!!
मशीन की तरह एक दूरसे को जीस्ते रहते है हम।
पर नज़र घुमाए तोह भगवान क्या करते हैं ??
हम चाहें उन्हें भूल जाएं,
पर वह हर पल-हर शण हमारे साथ हैं,
हमारी आतिशबाजी जैसी ख़ुशी हो या सागर जैसा गम,
वह साथ थे, साथ हैं, और साथ रहेंगे ,
बिलकुल हमारे साये की तरह…

माफ़ करना पर साये की तरह नहीं,
जो अंधेरे में साथ छोड़ दे,
पर साँसों की तरह,
जो जबतक हम हैं  साथ रहती हैं।
तो बोलो सहारा  किसका लेना चाहोगें ???


English font

aaj jo main khela khel bahut dinno ke baad,
jaana main bhagwaan ke baare mein bahut kuch aaj.

Hafte mein khelta hu cricket main ek baar,
par bhagwaan ki ye kaaya ko jaan paata hu kabhi kabhi mere yaar.
kahte hai ki hum jeev hai par lagta ye sab abeeb hai,
jeev ek engine aur bhavnaye engine oil.
agar bhavnaayo ke bina chale yeh engine toh,
Barbeque ke oven ki tarah garam ho jata hai.
aur agar bhavnaayo ke saath chale yeh engine toh,
sagar mein milti ek nadi ban jata hai.

lekinn iss sansar mein hum kitne saare,
ek dusre ko sahara banaye firte hai!!
kya kabhi machine ne machine ko sahara diya hai??
jab hum jeev apne sukh mein dusre ko nahi dekh paate,
toh apne dukh mein toh..... Bhool jao!!
machine ki taraf ek dusre ko tarah geeste rahte hai hum.
Par nazar ghoomaye toh bhagwaan kya karte hai??
hum chahe unhe bhool jaye par woh har sha n/har pal humare saath hai,
humari aatishbaazi jaisi khushi ho ya sagar jaisa gum,
woh saath tha, saath hai aur saath rahega,
bilkul humare saaye ki tarah.....

Maaf karna par saaye ki tarah nahi,
jo undhere mein saath chorr de,
par saason ki tarah,

jo jab tak hum hai tab tak saath rahti hai.


Toh bolo kiska sahara lena chahoge???

Am I having an angel?

Sitting near the sea shore,
I saw a girl standing and a crow crossing her,
to my wonder of wonder, i saw an angel with my world eyes.
This provoke me to think, am I an angel?

From the day I(Baby) was born,
I was considered as a little angel to my parents!
From the day I started walking and speaking,
I was considered as Adam(or Eve) to my on-lookers!
From the day I started schooling,
I was considered as a learner to my well-wishers!
Now when I have started earning,
Am I still an angel?

From the fairy tales to real life helpers,
we learnt the god sends help via Angels.
From the caring nature of our parent's to our friend's,
we learnt the god look after via Angels.
But is this Angel resides in me?

(But,)
why I have started finding helpless in me?
why I have started finding loneliness in me?
why in this materialistic world I found competition developing "I, me, myself" nature in me?
Where has this Angel of mine disappeared?

(Then Gita says,"sarvasya caham hrdi sannivisto")
I am not alone, the angel is there with my like my shadow.
I am not helpless, the angel is making me strong to together confront, stand out in all situations of my life.
I care about others as they care about me!
Angel is always there in me, with me and for me to live this life happily, victoriously, and joyfully till the end.

Looking across the window of life

When I sat in solitude, I saw myself walking across the timeline of my life....
Memories I made out of my good and bad, awesome and awful, happy and sad times....
It was like looking through the window of these memories that I realise....
God gave me all these perfect moments to guide me to Him....
It may not be perfect all the time, now when I look at it, its has been the one I always cherish!!!!

God is great and so is his deeds.... We may not realize it now but someday, one day we will surely realize it!
That day will be very different from the rest of the days....

tere pyaar mein

प्यार क्या होता है ? ये मैं नहीं जानता,
फिल्मो में देखा है, पर मैं नहीं मानता।

तेरे से मिलु हूँ जबसे, खुश रहता हूँ,
तेरे से बात करने लगा हूँ जबसे, सोचता रहता हूँ,
क्या करू मैं उस पल से, दिल है की नहीं मानता।

ध्यान करने बैठता हूँ भगवान का, पर चेहरा तेरा ही नज़र आता,
याद करता हूँ भगवान को, पर ख्याल तेरा ही मन में आता,
अगर ये उसकी(भगवान) कृपा मानु , तो कृतज्ञता से सर झुक है जाता,
और अगर ये एक इतफ़ाक मानु, तो भी उसकी का शुक्रिया कर पता।

In english font

pyaar kya hota hai? ye main nahi jaanta,
filmo mein dekha hai, par main nahi maanta.

tere se mila hu jab se, khush raheta hu,
tere se baat karne laga hu jab se, sochta raheta hu,
kya karu main uss pal se, dil hai ki nahi maanta.

dhyaan karne bethta hun bhagwaan ka, par chehra tera hai nazar aata,
yaad karta hun bhagwaan ko, par khayal tera hi man mein aata,
agar ye uski(bhagwaan) kripa maanu, toh krutgyata se sir jhuk hai jaata,
aur agar ye ek itfaak maanu, toh bhi uski ka shukriya kar pata.

banke jugnu main

चलता चल बने जुगनू कि तरह,
चमकाता जा अपनी छोटी सी जगह,
एक दिन कोई देखेगा जब यह निशान,
मिल जायेगा तुझसे वोह बनके बाग़बान ।

आज छोटा होके दिखता नहीं सब जगह,
मिलकर बाकियों से बनाऊंगा अपना जहान,
फिर भी होके छोटा उस जगह,
रोशन करुँगा सारा जहान ।

जैसे अमावस्या कि रात को दूर से भी दिकता हूँ मैं,
दिन के सूरज की रोशनी में चुप्पा लगता हूँ मैं,
वैसे हर संघर्ष में तुम्हारे, जुगनू बना मिलुंगा मैं,
जीत के जश्न हो या हार के मातम हो, तेरे साथ खड़ा रहूँगा मैं,
जैसे रहते थे कृष्ण, अर्जुन के साथ ।


In english font
Chalta chal bane jugnu ki tarah,
Chamkata ja apni choti si jagah,
Ek din koi dekhega jab yeh nishan,
Mil jayega tujhse woh banke baghban.

Aaj chota hoke dikhta nahi sab jagah,
Milkar bakiyon se banauga apna jahan,
Fir bhi hoke chota uss jagah,
Roshan karuga saara jahan.

Jaise amavasya ki raat ko milo dur se bhi dikta hu main,
Din ke suraj ki roshni mein chuppa lagta hu main,
Waise har sangharsh mein tumhare, jugnu miluga main,
Jeet ke jashn ho ya haar ke maatam ho, tere saath khada rahuga main,
Jaise rahte the krishna, Arjun ke saath.

Time

how will time defines our lives?

time is what you see,
time is in what you believe,
time is what is invaluable.
time is for what you hurry,
time is what you cant repeat.
time is what is precious to me,
time is what you are to me.

Time came and went,
Time never end.
Time is here and there,
Time never care.
Time will come and go,
Time never grow.

woh lamha

जो होती मेरे पास जादू की  छड़ी ,
रोक देता वोह लम्हा और ज़मी ,
जो बिताया हुआ वो पल तेरे साथ,
दोहराता रहता उसे घड़ी दो घड़ी ।

ज़िन्दगी में आते हैं वो लम्हे ,
शतद एक या दो बार,
मुस्कुराते हो तुम दिल से जिस लम्हे ,
शायद कई बार।
उस लम्हा को जीने का आनंद,
 शायद फिर नहीं होगा एक भी बार,
उस लम्हा का याद भी रहना,
शायद नहीं हर बार ।


दिल रोता है आजकल ये सोचकर,
मिलोगे या नहीं, फिर तुम,
मन फ़िक्र करता है आजकल ये सोचकर,
कभी जान भी पाओगे मुझे, तुम।
दिल रोता  है आजकल ये सोचकर ,
क्या होगा अगर छूमंतर हो गए तुम,
मन फ़िक्र करता है आजकल ये सोचकर,
जानके भी मान पाओगे मुझे, तुम !

फिर भी तलाश करता रहता हूँ,
उस लम्हा कि हर बार,
दिल में बसकर जो आनंद दे,
ज़िन्दगी में बारम बार।


In English font.

jo hoti mere pass jaadu ki chhadi,
rok deta woh lamha aur zami,
jo bitaya huya wo pal tere saath,
dohrata rahta use ghadi do ghadi!

zindagi mein aate hai woh lamha,
shayad ek ya do baar,
muskurate ho tum dil se jis lamha,
shayad kayyi baar!
us lamha ko jeene ka anand,
shayad fir nahi hoga ek bhi baar,
us lamha ka yaad bhi rahana,
shayad nahi hoga har bar!

dil rota hai aajkal ye sochkar,
miloge ya nahi,fir tum,
man fikar karta hai aajkal ye sochkar,
kabhi jaan bhi paoge mujhe, tum!
dil rota hai aaj ye sochkar,
kya hoga, agar choomantar ho gaye tum,
man fikar karta hai aajkal ye sochkar,
jaanke bhi maan paoge mujhe, tum!

Fir bhi talaash karta rahta hu,
us lamha ki har baar,
dil mein baskar jo anand de,
zindagi mein baaram baar!

देखा हैं तुझे(dekha hai tujhe)

सालों से साथ हूँ तेरे,
लगता हैं मुझे ऐसे ।
रोज़ देखता  हूँ तुझे,
फूल को भवरा देखता जैसे ॥

प्रकृति बदलती हैं  जैसे,
मौसम बदलते समय में ।
तुझको देखा मैंने ऐसे,
सुख-दुःख के समय में ॥

हैरान हो , परेशान हो , चाहें जो भी हो ,
साथ निभाया हैं मैंने ।
ये निस्वार्थ दोस्ती ही है मेरी जो,
हाथ पकड़ लिया है तेरा  मैंने ॥

भगवान जानें अब क्या है तू मेरी,
खुश रहता हूँ देखकर ख़ुशी तेरी ।
तू जाने या न जाने मेरी,
पर ख्याल रखता हूँ तेरा जो देखा तुझे अकेली -अकेली ॥



In English Font

Saalo se saath hu tere,
lagta hai mujhe aise.
Roz dekhta hu tujhe,
phool ko bhawara dekhe jaise.

Prakriti badalti hai jaise,
mausam badalte samay mein.
Tujhko dekhta maine aise,
sukh dukh ke samay mein.

Haraan ho, pareshan ho, chahe jo bhi ho,
saath nibhaya hai maine.
Ye niswarth dosti hi hai meri jo,
haath pakarr liya hai tera maine.

Bhagwaan jaane ab kya hai tu meri.
kush rahta hu dekhkar khushi teri.
Tu jaane ya na jaane meri,
par khayal rakhta hun tera, jo dekha tujhe akeli akeli.

रुका हूँ जो मैं (ruka hun jo main)

उनकी आँखें में तो चल रहा हूँ मैं,
दूर होकर भी पास-पास चल रहा हूँ मैं,
सोचो कि आदर्श बनने की कोशिश कर हूँ मैं।

ये एहसास  नही था अब तक,
खुद को भुलाकर चला जा रहा था जो अब तक,
जो कुछ भी बना हूँ मैं अब तक,
समझो कि उनका ही बनाया हूँ अब तक।

साल में जैसे चार ऋतुय होती है,
थमना नहीं है जिनके बस में,
सालों निकल गए ऐसे मैरे इसी जी-वन में।

अब जब समय ने रुकाया,
सोच में पड़ गया मैं बेचारा,
क्या हुआ मुझे ये समझ जो नही पाया,
याद करू या बात करू ! मन  निर्णय पर नही आया।

रुकी हुई है ज़िंदगी मेरी,
चलने को रास्ता भी नहीं है पाया,
सोच-सोचकर मैं हूँ घबराया,
क्या करू मुश्किल में मैं पछताया।

इतने साल निकल गए पर जान नही पाया,
भगवान ने सब है रचाया,
मेरा तो है काम 'नियमित' बनना,
फिर तो है उसकी छाया।

unki aakhon mein toh chal rahna hu main,
dur ho kar bhi pass-pass chal raha hun main,
socho ki ideal banne ki koshish kar hun main.

yeh ehsass nahi tha ab tak,
khud ko bhula kar chala jaa raha tha jo ab tak,
jo kuch bhi bana main ab tak,
samjho ki unka hi hun ab tak.

saal mein jaise chaar rituye hoti hai,
thamna nahi hai jinke bas mein,
saalo nikal gaye aise mere issi Ji-wan mein.

ab jab samay ne rukaya,
soch mein padr gaya main bechara,
kya huya mujhe ye samajh jo nahi paya,
yaad karu ya baat karu!! Mann nirnaye par nahi aya.

ruki huyi hai zindagi meri,
chalne ko rasta bhi nahi hai paya,
soch sochkar mein hu ghabraya,
kya karu mushkil mein main pachtaya!!

itne saal nikal gaye par jaan nahi paya,
bhagwan sab hai rachaya,
mera toh hai kaam 'niyamit' banna,
fir toh hai uski chaya!!

जो वापस चले आये (jo wapas chale aaye)

आखों  में  तो  बहुत  से  सपने  थे ,
दिलो  में  भी  अनगिनत  ख्याल  थे ,
सपने  टूट  गए  आधे  रास्ते  में ,
जो  वापस  चले  आये !!!
 

सोचा  था  खूब  बातें  करेंगे ,
सोचा  था  खूब  मस्ती  करेंगे ,
सोचा  था  तो  बहुत  कुछ  करेंगे ,
अब  सोचा  रहा  हूँ  क्या  करू ,
जो  वापस  चले  आये !!!

जिसको  मिलना  था  उसको  न  मिल  पाए ,
आधे  रास्ते  से  जो  वापस  चले  आये !!!

Aakho mein toh bahut se sapne the,
dilo mein bhi anginat khayal the,
sapne toot gaye aadhe raaste me,

Socha tha khoob baatein karenge,
Socha tha khoob masti karenge,
Socha tha toh bahut kuch karenge,
Ab socha raha hu kya karu,
jo wapas chale aaye.

jisko milna tha usko na mil paye,
aadhe raaste se jo wapas chale aaye.

unreachable hi ho tum!!
Kahi se to connect ho jao!!
Apne dil ka bhi haal batao!!

Lost in memories, I cherish...

Lost in memories, I cherish….
Childhood goes and never returns,
Those games, running in the park,
Asking dada-dadi, chacha-chachi and all for toffees, chocolates, Ice-creams,
Fighting with my brothers and sisters,
Lost in yester years, I cherish….

Remember my nursery school….
Going just because on return I will get chocolate,
Though I used to forget on my way back to home,
Lost in innocent glooming, I cherish…..

Gone are my school days….
Carrying bag weighting double my own weight,
Singing the prayers in morning, going to canteen,
Asking the teachers weird questions,
Racing to be the first in everything,
Lost in real sportsmanship spirit of life, I cherish….

Lost in college days, best of the all……
Cherishing these days, I forget everything else,
Share… don’t share I am left confused,
Many memories are still young in heart and mind,
These are the only ones, I am left with….

Day or night, noon or evening…..
Lost in memories, I cherish each of it….

Life is mine and I will stir......

Sat upon the windows, everywhere was snow,

it was different feeling only God know!!

Life is hard and I am not the pro,

but here is my opportunity to grow.

It started to snowfall, I started to shiver,
what a glass of Rum would help to deliver,
I asked my sweet corn soup to stir,
what life has empowered, I feared.

Losing hope is not in my values,
still I lived in fear.....
Lost many things in struggle of life,
still I survived in fear......
They say I am not made for all this,
still I moved on.....

Tell me how long can I live in this fear,
Life is mine and I will stir......

life is like footsteps.......

Seeing the baby feets in those hands, I was reminded that moving on is like never ending story..........

Do you love me!!!
