Illuminated

When the sun dawns upon me ,
When the waves engulf me ,
When i flow somewhere with the wind ,
You know im the one with the stars ;
One of the stars that shine so bright ,
Illuminated by the feelings of angst and love !

I know you look up on me ,
With a fiery heart !
You saw many with blood ,
But i was the one with the scars .
I did want to be with you forever ,
But you’ll know someday ;
There’s so much more to death than there is to eternity .

“GRANDPARENTS “

They say we won’t realize the importance of anything until we lose it . Well , I think the only thing whose importance we realize even when they exist is grandparents . The first pleasure of a grandparent is when they hold their grandchildren in their arms . The first encounter of a child with real pain is when he loses his grandparent . The purest bond that exists is the one between the grandparent and the grandchild .

The only person who can teach one the meaning of true , selfless love is a grandparent. The simplest role of being one is the most vital one . For all the inspiration a child needs , they are always there . Sometimes their actions might tend to spoil them , but they won’t . One thing every child looks forward to every summer is visiting them . The best ingredient of our childhood is the love our grandparents always showed us .

Each and every smile of his among the wrinkles he had . All his pain vanished every time he saw me . The sparkle and excitement his eyes reflected in the simplest of things . The simple pleasure he got in a packet of “bourbon biscuits “ and the overwhelming happy gasps he gave when we ate those orange candies . The joy on his face when he narrated those happy old incidents he once had experienced.

Those memories I have of him , each one of them worth more than gold . I just can’t imagine how rich could I have been if he was still here . I wish his body could have been as immortal as his soul . I wish the walls can experience once more the bright sparkles of his smiles and the great pleasures of his mere existence!

I close my eyes to feel your gaze
Just like the effervescense in water
Or the petrichor rain leaves behind

I close my eyes to oblivion
Feeling the need to go back in time ; our time !
The way you left me in hiraeth !

“LOATHED LOVE “

No matter what
You will fall in love someday
Trust me you wont have to think a lot
Our destiny will always find a way

What we will have
Will be way too nice
And definitely will it give the world
A lot to despise

It will all be rainbows and unicorns
And a home surrounded with wide , wide lawns
Agony and pain would have withdrawn
We would gaze in each others eyes from dusk till dawn !

And then one day will come
Someday when you will be far gone
This will be the day that all will loathe
For my only dream would be broke !

OH “MAN” !

Walking away through the midnight
She makes her path to the divide
In the eyes of all boys under the streetlight
There are fears she can’t hide !

What if she lets her fears speak ?
Even then the society would peek !
For the mistake is always hers ;
She wore a dress with too much blur !!

No one cares ; she’s months , days or years ,
And it’s her existence about which no one cares ;
She has the fear of being hated by her dears !

You fools open your eyes !
To see her beauty but at heart .
And stop saying all those lies ,
‘cuz your “fake respect ” ; just keep it apart !!

Your mother ; she gave you this life .
Who helped you be successful is your wife .
& That little little girl who got happiness and laughter in your give !!

For all those tears ; to her you owe .
Oh man ! Can’t a bit respect you show ?
Oh “man” ! Can’t a bit respect you show !!?

सर पर बांध ली पगड़ी
जेब में रखी कटार
चल दिए सरदारजी
याद करते हुए सिखों दी शान

अल्लाह के बन्दे हैं
सुबह शाम पढें नमाज़
राज किये थे कुर्सी पे
अकबर शहाजान – ए – खास

फिर आए थे अंग्रेज़
बसा गए रगों में ईसाई
चर्च खुले जीजस छाए
इनहोने भी यहाँ अपने घर बसाए

यहाँ हिन्दुत्व की मिट्टी है
भगवान के नाम पर जानें बिकती हैं
दिन रात इनके दिलों में नाम
शिव-हरी-हनुमान और राम

भारत के रहने वाले थे
अनेक इनके नारे थे
हिन्दु-मुस्लिम-सिख-ईसाई
इनहोने इंसानों पर बाधा लाई

बट गया यह देश हमारा
इंसानियत कहीं कोसों दूर
धर्म – रिवाज़ के चक्कर में
आखिर हो ही गई ना भूल?
