if we imagine..

What we do is a measure of who we are. If we imagine our work as labor, we become laborers. If we imagine our work as art, we become artists.

Coz i am in You..!

Yes, i have left myself loose
can You hear my moves..
My heart goes on a long drive
when i am with You!
Yes, i can feel the heat
Yes, i can see You shimmer..
but, can You affirm me
by touching via whisper!
Through all the thick and thin,
You were by my side..
Feel now completely captivated
by Your charm and glow!
Your ethereality, was
seldom not so visible..
But thank you for You
bestowed on me
my life's rhythmic hope!
Can't stop myself..
Can't hold on..
when You call on me
By now, have surely
drowned in You
absorbed in Your damp soul..
Coz, i feel i am shred from You
weaved within Your cloak..
Bless me with Your
majestic sight
Coz i am in You..!

फिलहाल..

पहले से लीखा... कुछ भी नही...
रोज़ नया कुछ... लीखती है तू...
जो भी लीखा है... दील से जीया है...
ये लम्हा... फीलाहाल जी लेने दे...
ये लम्हा... फीलाहाल जी लेने दे...

Faith

When you come to the
edge of all the light,
and you know you are
about to step off
into the darkness of
the unknown,
Faith is knowing one of
two things will happen:
Either there will be
something solid to
stand on, or...
You will be taught
how to fly.

खुशी तुम्हारी खुशी हमारी...

कुछ कहते तो सुन लेते
कुछ करते तो सह लेते।
पर उम्मीद थी की जो भी हो
साथ हमारा नही छोडोगे॥
जीस दोस्ती पर हम थे इतराते
जीस रीश्ते पर धूप जलाते
धुन्दला पड़ने लगा है वो शीशा
जीसमे हम तुम साथ नज़र आते॥
खुदसे कहते रहते है हम
कोई फरक नही पड़ता हमपर
आवाज़ सुनाई जब नही देती तुम्हारी
खुदसे ही बाते कर लीया करते है हम॥
पर कीसी बात का हमें कोई गम नही
न ही कीसीसे है कोई शीकायत
अब तक जो दुआ मांगी है रब से
हम नही भूलेंगे आगे भी मांगनी॥
खुशी तुम्हारी खुशी हमारी...

A nascent desire..

A nascent desire
kept budding in the heart
to make it to the stars
from the level of the ground.
Shoot out like rocket
tearing the smoky clouds.
Jump out from the comfy shell
pushing the lid ahead.
Of opening the forbidden doors,
of closing the cynical chambers.
and allowing some fresh air
to run through the nerves.
A wish for a spring
all the year round.
But thought shouldn't be so greedy
for at the end of every tunnel,
there is a shining hope.
Need to keep faith,
have to have patience.
To finally spread the wings far and wide...

some quotes..

The most beautiful things in life cannot be seen or even
touched. They must be felt with the heart.
Hellen Keller

"It is not a mistake if we cannot read the eyes that cheat
us. But it is indeed a big mistake if we cannot read the
eyes that care for us."

When life knocks you down, you have two choices-
stay down or get up.

When the heart weeps at what it has lost, the soul
laughs at what it has found.
Sufi Aphorism

Only if you wish to feel..

Only if you wish to feel
there is life in you and me..
Every cell can love and hate
what do you wish to feel..?

The moist soil breathes
the supple saplings tender touch..
The sunflower flows along the wind
for the sun has blessed her with care..

Life bubbles in the babies eyes
also in my grandpa's one-toothed smile..
A healing touch, a warm hug
even hankering eyes can say it all..

The azure blanket can preen on it's gown
the sea-bed can also join hands with littoral ground..
Coz the mollusks and the parakeets
can feel life in the tempestuous wind and sea..

Only if you wish to feel
there is life in you and me..

A garden rose, a roadside weed
have the power to turn the wheel..
A silent prayer, some floating thoughts
can feel the presence of the only One..

There is life in the dancing peacock's rain
also in the mist licking window panes..
Some baby hyacinths opening eye-lids
can also feel life in the reign..

Life is in the nascent desires
life is in the blindfold faith..
Life is in the sweat and tear
also in the will we make..

Only if you wish to feel
there is life in you and me..
