sard raat ka chand...

kya ghata chaayi hai,
chand kuch sarmaya sa hai,
parda kar rakha hai chand ne,
ye jo dhund ka ek saya sa hai.

kahi door ek choti si roshni,
kisi ped se chan k aati si nazar aa rhi hai,
nazare kuch aise ban rahe hai,
jaise kudrat ka dil muskuraya sa hai.

kuch der yuhi khada raha main,
thand ki is khamoshi me,
fir hawa ne kaan me kaha,
kiski talash me tu aya hua hai,
mat dekh is chand ko aise,
isne to na jaane kitno ka dil lubhaya hua hai.

kabhi socha mud chalu ghar ki or,
par fir fir takta rha aasmaa ko main,
dil me ek hairani bani hui thi,
jo kabhi mujhse nazre mila ke chalta tha,
aj wohi chand mujhse kuch chupa rha hai,
na jaane aj kis chakor se is sard dhund ke saye me nazre mila rha hai...

World outside the window

Sitting near the window of my hotel room, I could see the full moon shining bright in the cold mountain night. Must be around 10 or 11 degrees. I could feel the light breeze on my face. Just looking outside the window, it was beautiful, even in the night. A silent full moon night high up in mountains could be so beautiful and soothing. I felt like my mind was empty of all thoughts. Like naturally meditating with eyes wide open and looking out into silhouette of huge mountains, like staring into wast spread of nothingness. I could see tiny lights twinkling on small buildings spread across the small town near Shimla, India. Sometimes when i came to senses, a sudden flood of thoughts streaming through the brain. How much we(humans) have progressed. How much nature had paid for our actions. Constantly digging the heart of mountain to make clearings for agriculture and buildings. Yet, nature is forgiving and let us be in peace. Peace, which is perhaps pet word of my ...

Bachpan ki yaadein

kitna anmol waqt tha wo bhi, papa jab sham ko ghar aate the.. jeb me unki 1-2 rupye ke sikke khankhanate the.. kabhi kabhi khud pyar se humare haath me thamate the.. kabhi jeb se gir jane pe main or behan uthane ko daud jate the.. subha jaldi na uthne ko bahane banana, school na bhejne ko maa ko manana.. yaad hai mujhe bhot mar khate the..

In the shadow of Blue Sky

A few days ago I was traveling in the bus and I was at the window seat. Fallen deeply in my thoughts I was thinking about my life. How everything suddenly turned out to be something that I never imagined it to be. "I was among the good students in the college. My degree was good enough. My knowledge was good enough. I didn't lack the confidence or passion. I am a good person, so why me. I am trying so hard yet I can't get what I want, Why God why me ?", this is all my mind was full of. It was time of winter, I think last of December somewhere near new year and the weather was misty. The bus was not passing by a small town, I was looking out side the window with unfocused eyes. And Suddenly I was wide awake. There were a few people, sleeping on the footpath near the road, may be they were some poor people, may be labors who work hard everyday to earn little amount of money so that they can eat and feed their family. Seeing this a few lines were created in my min...
