Sukoon Paaun Kaise...

Kaise Sukoon Paaun Tujhe Dekhne Ke Baad,
Ab Kya Gazal Sunaun Tujhe Dekhne Ke Baad,
Aawaz De Rahi Hai Meri Zindagi Mujhe,
Jaaun Main Ya Na Jaun Tujhe Dekhne Ke Baad,

Kaabe Ka Ehtaraam Bhi Meri Nazar Mein Hai,
Sar Kis Taraf Jhukaaun Tujhe Dekhne Ke Baad,
Teri Nigah-E-Mast Ne Deewana Kar Diya Hai,
Kya Maikade Ko Jaun Tujhe Dekhne Ke Baad,
Nazron Mein Taab-E-Deed Hi BaaQi Nahi Rahi,
Kisse Nazar Milaaun Tujhe Dekhne Ke Baad...

Self Actualisation Takes Time - II

Sometimes we just need to be told

That all will be okay

Sometimes open arms extendedx

Can soothe the fears away

Sometimes dark days surface

With no end in sight

Sometimes just a tender word

Seem to make it right

Sometimes we do hurt

Where it cannot be seen

Sometimes we must read

Of the lines, things between

Sometimes it looks to us

That nothing is in place

Sometimes we cannot stand

Except for saving grace

Sometimes we seem to think

This is our lot in life

Sometimes we crave for peace

When all we have is strife

Sometimes it seems to be

Just us against the odds

Sometimes we crave for covering

Like peas in a pod

Sometimes the truth

Will never be revealed

Sometimes the wounds

Doesn't find time to heal

Sometimes the greatest battle

Happens in the mind

Sometimes victor, sometimes victim

Yes, it happens sometimes

Self-Actualisation Takes Time-I

I have felt something within me,

that

I was trapped.

By these four walls of my room,

By this skin and bone.

Locked away

And suffocated

By the pressure in my head.

Sounds seem distorted,

Like a fish In a bowl.

The quiet of my thoughts

Turned away

By ringing and chaos.

My anxious heart longs for

The comfort of silence

And to simply, living clueless.

In this large world.

As my thoughts shrink my mind expands

Growing into the spaces between my words

The words of others

Refreshed within the pauses

Dancing inside possibilities

Filling in the blanks

Words suspended

Within time and space

Connecting the random with the infinite

Skipping along

Flowing through in whispers

The spaces

Reflecting eternal promises

Stepping stones along elastic highways

Breaths yet to be exhaled

Here I grasp for inked pleasure

My resting place

along inspiration's highway

My moments of calibration

Synaptic revelations

Hallways leading to ancient corridors

The place where all artist meet

Each space, appears the same

To those unable to see

They can't feel the symphony

Yet, we who live, within the spaces

Rise together Give applause

A world expanded from the small

An opening within word walls

Rising to float, upon the breeze

They lift our mind with subtle ease

Come and join me please

I have space

I have room

Within my spaces 

for something which was missing.

Duniya Kya Jaane kya hota hai...

Tum kya jaano kya hota hain raato ka jagna
Tum kya jaano kay hota hain apne sapne batna
Kya hota hain muskurahto me dard ka lahar daudna
Dabe jasbaato jo chhupane k liye baato ka modna.

Sochta tha, sochta hun..kaise hogi zindagi
aaj tum ho kal nahi,,, kya jee payegi zindagi..
fir kahi se sir uthata hain ek khyaal
tujhse pahle thi,,, tere baad be hogi ye zindagi.

Tute hue bikhre sapno ko, baahon me bharna
Sametna, sahejna, sirhane rakhna
tumhe kyu ehsaas ho,,,, shayad khabar bhi nahi
kya hota hain ek sapne k liye, sari duniya chhodna.

Garden March

Bravely I marched through my garden
The snow was still there
The crocuses no where in sight
The only sign that spring was anywhere near
Were the birds singing chorus in the trees

Bravely I marched through my garden
Looking for signs of spring
The sky sunny and blue
The snow cold and white
While overhead birds flew
And sun rays danced

Bravely I marched through my garden
The sun already warm upon my face
My cat in a sunny patch on the window sill
Looking for greenery
That I still couldn’t see
While birds chorused in the trees

My Mother..

since then,my life has been in repentance
your angel smile is now my salvation
my dear mother
you still treat me like an diamond
thats why i like 2 say
your heart is filled with
compassion and heavenly sweetness.

unseen came 2 your attendence
returning home became my vision
uniting us was ALLAHS mighty vision
your supplication had been accepted.

running away was my worst option
asking why was your ultimate question
staggering in the dark with my addiction
bowing 2 god was your only solution.

the colour of my face start 2 change
when hanging with the wrong trend
your cries were heard in heaven
while i was listening 2pac and many evil.

reminiscing the past
reminds me of your
once sweet child
saw your fragile heart
filled with compassion
and heavenly sweetness...!!

A Friend's Love

No one really knows
What kind of bond we share
And even if I told them
They probably wouldn't care

You are very dear to me
I hope you know it's true
And now that you are sick
Tell me what that I should do?

While you've been gone
A part of me has been lost
It's like I've taken our friendship for granted
And now I'm paying the cost

I never knew how much you meant to me
Until you went away
The thought of you being really sick
Haunted me every day

I spent a few days at school alone
And my weekend was such a bore
A lot of my time was spent in my room
I think my mom's ready to break down the door

And now I make this vow to you
To keep until the end
I'll help you through the pain and tears
Until our rivers bend

So if you ever need someone
You know just who to call
I'll be here by the phone
To catch you if you fall

What Is A Friend?

A friend is somebody
Who knows you and likes you
Exactly the way that you are.

Someone who's special
And so close in thought
That no distance can ever seem far.

A friend understands you
Without any words,
Stands by you
When nothing goes right.

And willingly talks
Over problems with you
Till they somehow
Just vanish from sight.

And whether you're neighbors
Or live miles apart,
A word from a friend gives a lift
To your heart and spirit.

That shows you once more
Why friendship is life's dearest gift!

I'll Be Here for you...

I cannot ease your aching heart,
Nor take your pain away;
But let me stay and take your hand
And walk with you today.

I'll listen when you need to talk,
I'll wipe away your tears;
I'll share your worries when they come,
I'll help you face your fears.

I'm here and I will stand by you,
On each hill you have to climb;
So take my hand, let's face the world...
And live just one day at a time.

You're not alone, for I'm still here,
I'll go that extra mile for you;
And when your grief is easier,
I'll help you learn to smile!

Solitude

Laugh, and the world laughs with you;
Weep, and you weep alone.
For the sad old earth must borrow it's mirth,
But has trouble enough of its own.
Sing, and the hills will answer;
Sigh, it is lost on the air.
The echoes bound to a joyful sound,
But shrink from voicing care.

Rejoice, and men will seek you;
Grieve, and they turn and go.
They want full measure of all your pleasure,
But they do not need your woe.
Be glad, and your friends are many;
Be sad, and you lose them all.
There are none to decline your nectared wine,
But alone you must drink life's gall.

Feast, and your halls are crowded;
Fast, and the world goes by.
Succeed and give, and it helps you live,
But no man can help you die.
There is room in the halls of pleasure
For a long and lordly train,
But one by one we must all file on
Through the narrow aisles of pain.

by Ella Wheeler Wilcox

My Guardian Angel

You hold my hand when I am weak,
And vulnerable at times.
And as you smile I cannot help
But turn my lips upward,
And duplicate the joy
Which lays spread across your face.
When I am sad or unsure,
You make me laugh.
And as you look into my eyes,
They seem to glitter and sparkle
With such energy and life
That I have never seen before.
And it makes me want to be closer to you
All the time.
And even when I am happy and content,
You are there for me.
Just in case I should happen to tumble or fall.
And as you laugh your sound carries across the room,
And it makes me want to be a better person.
As we go along together,
I realize how lucky I am
To be sharing my life with someone as special as you.
You are my everything;
My comfort, my weakness, my joy.
And I thank God everyday
For sending someone like you
To care and comfort me in times of need,
And to be my guardian angel.
For this I thank you,
And hope you will stay in my heart
Forever.
by Andrea Bumstead

I Will Love You Forever

I love you so deeply,
I love you so much,
I love the sound of your voice
And the way that we touch.
I love your warm smile
And your kind, thoughtful way,
The joy that you bring
To my life every day.
I love you today
As I have from the start,
And I'll love you forever
With all of my heart.

Love Is ...

Love is the greatest feeling,
Love is like a play,
Love is what I feel for you,
Each and every day,
Love is like a smile,
Love is like a song,
Love is a great emotion,
That keeps us going strong,
I love you with my heart,
My body and my soul,
I love the way I keep loving,
Like a love I can't control,
So remember when your eyes meet mine,
I love you with all my heart,
And I have poured my entire soul into you,
Right from the very start.

A magic moment I remember

I raised my eyes and you were there.
A fleeting vision, the quintessence
Of all that's beautiful and rare.
I pray to mute despair and anguish
To vain pursuits the world esteems,
Long did I near your soothing accents,
Long did your features haunt my dreams.
Time passed- A rebel storm-blast scattered
The reveries that once were mine
And I forgot your soothing accents,
Your features gracefully divine.
In dark days of enforced retirement
I gazed upon grey skies above
With no ideals to inspire me,
No one to cry for, live for, love.
Then came a moment of renaissance,
I looked up- you again are there,
A fleeting vision, the quintessence
Of all that`s beautiful and rare..

Wafaa Ka Silaah Hai

Yehi Wafaa ka silaah hai, to koi baat nahi
Yeh dard tum ne diya hai, to koi baat nahi
Yehi bohot hai ke tum dekhte ho sahil se
Safeena doob raha hai, to koi baat nahi
Rakha tha aashiyana-e-dil main choopa ke tumko
Woh ghar tumne chor diya hai to koi baat nahi
Tum hi ne aayena-e-dil mera banaya tha
Tum hi ne tor diya hai to koi baat nahi
Kise majaal kahe koi mujh ko deewana
Agar yeh tumne kaha hai to koi baat nahi
Ishq ke phool bhi khilte hain, bikhar jaate hain
zakhm kaise bhi hon, kuch roze main bhar jaate hain
Us khwabon main ab koi nahi aur hum bhi nahi
Itne roze se aaye hain, chup chaap guzar jaate hain
Nurm aawaaz, bholi baatain, mohazzab lehjaa
Pehle baarish main hi, sab rang utar jaate hain
Raasta roke khari hai, wahi uljhan kab se
Koi puche to kahen kya ke kidhar jaate hain

YOUR LOVE made a Promise...

A gentle word like a spark of light,
Illuminates my soul
And as each sound goes deeper,
It's YOU that makes me whole

There is no corner, no dark place,
YOUR LOVE cannot fill
And if the world starts causing waves,
It's your devotion that makes them still

And yes you always speak to me,
In sweet honesty and truth
Your caring heart keeps out the rain,
YOUR LOVE, the ultimate roof

So thank you my Love for being there,
For supporting me, my life
I'll do the same for you, you know,
My Beautiful, Darling.

If I could have just one wish

If I could have just one wish,
I would wish to wake up everyday
to the sound of your breath on my neck,
the warmth of your lips on my cheek,
the touch of your fingers on my skin,
and the feel of your heart beating with mine...
Knowing that I could never find that feeling
with anyone other than you.

Hum Chiraagon Ki Tarah

Garmiye hasrat-e-nakaam se jal jaate hain
Hum chiraagon ki tarah shaam se jal jaate hain
Shama jalti hai jis aag mein numayish ke liye
Hum usi aag mein gumnaam se jal jaate hain
Jab bhi aata hai tera naam mere naam ke saath
Jaane kyon log mere naam se jal jaate hain….

A Special World

A special world for you and me
A special bond one cannot see
It wraps us up in its cocoon
And holds us fiercely in its womb.

Its fingers spread like fine spun gold
Gently nestling us to the fold
Like silken thread it holds us fast
Bonds like this are meant to last.

And though at times a thread may break
A new one forms in its wake
To bind us closer and keep us strong
In a special world, where we belong.
