" Drawn through the waters
     hovering in clouds, wiping
   off the vestiges from
    painful scars and salted wounds.
  Driven to her, through land and sea
    till the morale within, wishes to flee
Oh! Still a little drunk in solitude
     and anguish is she "

किस्से ज़िन्दगी के

ज़िन्दगी हमारी यूं सितम हो गई
ख़ुशी न जाने कहाँ दफ़न होगई
थे जो पल कभी सुहाने, लगते है अब
 वो बस मेरे ख्वाबो के ।
अब तो किसी भी बात पे ऐतबार नही होता
क्योंकि हकीकत में कभी,
ख़ुशी का दीदार नही होता और
इन होठो को अब किसी हँसी का
इंतज़ार नही होता ।

ढल जाते है अश्क़, एक और गम की राह लिए..
दर जाता है ये दिल आज, एक और अरमानों की चाह लिए ।
जाने क्यों हर ख़ुशी अब लगे नमी थी
शायद उन पलों में अपनों के अपनेपन की कमी थी ।

सपनों से है ये ज़िन्दगी
जिसमे ख्वाब कुछ मेरे भी थे, और
ख़ुशी के कुछ पल, अभी बुनने भी थे ।
पर ज़िन्दगी हमारी यूँ सितम हो गई
की ख़ुशी न जाने कहाँ दफ़न हो गई ।
न जाने कहाँ है वो रस्ते ज़िन्दगी के ?
एक सफर जो मेरी राह तक ले जाए
और जाने कहाँ है वो रिश्ते ज़िन्दगी के,
जो मेरी खोई रूह वापस ले आए ।

ज़िन्दगी की इस राह में देखे है
बदलते किस्से कई
और देखे है, सपनो के बिखरते हिस्से कई ।
रस्ते उन सपनो तक इतने मुश्किल न थे
पर चुभे कुछ कांटे, जिन्हें अपनों ने ही बुने थे ।
 ए ज़िन्दगी क्या है ये?
उन सपनो की किस्मत, या
अपनों की हकीकत ?

दिल संभल जा ज़रा

कभी तूफान है, कभी ख़ामोशी...
तू ही बता, तुझे हुआ क्या?
क्यों तू इतनी परेशां है
अपने ही सवाल पे आज हैरान है?
अपने ही चाल पे, अपने सवाल पे
क्यों उठा है आज तेरे अंदर एक बवाल?
दिल, संभल जा ज़रा ।

कभी दरी दरी, कभी सहमी सी है तू
तू ही बता, तुझे हुआ क्या?
उलझन जो है तेरी, आज समझ न आए मेरी ।
क्यों तुझे लगे, "इस दुनिया में कोई सहारा नहीं"
 "और अपनों की भीड़ में कोई हमारा नही"?

कभी ख़ुशी है, कभी नमी है
तू ही बता ज़रा, तुझे किसकी कमी है?

सुन कभी अपनी वो आवाज़, जो तुझे दिखा दे
एक राह तेरे हर सवाल तक
और जो बने तेरी ताकत
तेरे हर एक चाल तक
दिल, आज तू सम्भल जा ज़रा
न जाने कल किस नयी चुनोतियो की
 और है चला !

ए जिंदगी

समझ न आया, ए जिंदगी
तेरा ये फ़लसफ़ा
कभी तेरी ही रुह हो जाती,
है तुझसे खफ़ा ।
पर फिर जब कभी उठे है तुझपे सवाल
तब क्यों उठे है उस रूह में बवाल?

न जाने कैसी है,ये तेरी लीला
जो वक़्त बेवक़्त उस रूह को बस,
कश्मकश है मिला ।
समझ न आया अब भी, जिंदगी
 तेरा ये फ़लसफ़ा ।।

ए जिंदगी, एक सुकून की तलाश थी
जिसने न जाने कितनी बेचैनियां थी पल ली
पर अब उस रूह ने अपनी बिखरती,
 ज़िन्दगी भी संभाल ली ।
क्योंकि, कभी तलाश थी जिस सुकून की
वो बनी अब है एक जूनून सी ।

समझ आज भी न आया, ए जिंदगी
 तेरा ये फ़लसफ़ा
कभी जो कहती थी, "समय आज तक किसीका न हुआ"
आज कहती है, "दो पल रुक जा ज़रा, मिलेगा वो जो तूने कभी है बुआ"

"She turned into pages
to free the agony, lying inside.
Blood mixed with ink
 dribble over them, and
wove a desperate tale of another time.
As pages crawl towards her,
 the burn in the sombre heart
began to subside.

Till the pain lie dormant once more
 tears had nearly run dry"

   "She looks fear in the face
     year after year,day after day.
   Feels the ruthlessness, been
    through more hell than someone
   will ever know!
Yet, she desires to wear her pain
    like diamonds around the neck"

One is never lost,
 on the journey of life
there are no dead-endings.
 Every time you feel off-track,
   a new way is coming in
 to open closed doors,
  to turn on the light. 
For, there's always more than
    what meets the eye!

" Demons from the past,
   they lay still.
   Wounded, dormant, quiet
 But not quite silenced..
  They sin like the devil,
 yet will love like angels do.
For the devil, was once an angel too! "

 " She bow in her grief today
     The depths of her sombre heart,
      are troubled.
    Oh, waken and save; she pray
   Avalanche of envy and woe
     Sweep o'er her sinking soul "

कहने को यूं तो,
रीशते कई...
पर रीशतो के भीड़ मे
कोई अपना नहीं |

न जाने किस मोड़ पे आके,
ये दील फिर रोता है..
शायद, ज़िंदगी में ऐसा ही होता है ।

Memories- keeps us alive!

'Life isn't all about living, its also about reliving memories'

The best thing about memories is building them, and not creating them. Because creations can be lifeless but what we build is never worthless. We all love memories because it makes us smile when we least expect to do so. No matter what life is imitating, how unhappy we are but just a glimpse of a happy memory brings the brightest smile on our lips. Because, memories itself is a thing of beauty. Its holds much more than what we feel today, the purest form of our feelings lies in the memories we build. Relationship fades, the connection and even the spark fades but the only thing that remains the same over years is "memories". Its beautiful always. 
Memories keeps us alive in each others lives even after years.
Afterall, " life isn't the matter of milestones but of memories" 

"Judgement"

Someway or the other throughout our life we all have been judgemental at least for once, maybe because that's human nature's call? But that surely isn't humanity! There's a fine line between human nature and humanity.
They say "never judge" and that's true for sure. Because you can't judge a book by its cover, you always have to try to look "deep" into something or someone.
That's because 'there's always something more than what the eye meets'. You may know someone but not necessarily know their life. You can't judge someone by the way they react to certain situations because you don't know whether their life is imitating calms or storms? Everyone has a chapter they don't read out loud, so don't just pass away a judgement because your not walking their life.
For once try not to be judgemental, and see things just the way they are. The skies doesn't turn gray out of nowhere, our sunshine doesn't allow the darkness to take over for no reason. Nothing turns cold unless its been treated with coldness for a while. There's always something hidden that's deep, so people never judge!
Because that's where the beauty of your heart shines.

और भी बनती लकीरे..

दर्द की शायद कई। 

पर शुक्र है तेरा खुदा,

जो हाथ छोटा सा ही दिया। 

       अलग-अलग रंगों में सज कर 
        सभी यहाँ है आते। 
       फिर जो सबसे हो अलग 
      वो क्यों अजीब कहलाते ?

WINGS and WINDS

She have seen and felt a lot. She have been at the lowest of lows, that anyone could ever have been in. She have suffered and survived as well, because no matter what comes around she had never considered folding her wings. Giving up was never a choice, neither an option to choose. Because she has always been curious to know what else life has for her, what will life reward her at the end of such an insane journey. She has been through more hell, than someone will ever know. She feels the ruthlessness, yet she desires to wear her pain like diamonds around her neck. And that's what gives beauty and edge to her wings. The wings that desires to fly, even with the feeling of not knowing where she is going. As it is only when you are hanged in mid-air with no landing in sight, you are forced to unravel your wings and that's when a flight begins. She has trained herself to go with the flow, the flow of the winds. Because that's where the beauty of flying lies. You may not know where you are going, but you know as long as you spread your wings, the winds will carry you. Its often said, difficult roads leads you to beautiful destinations. Spread your wings even when threatening clouds hover, because until you spread your wings, you will have no idea how far you can fly and how close you are to your destination despite of the difficult roads. She decided to spread her wings and soar above life's troubles. Throughout this insane journey, her wings unfold and she allows the winds to carry her. Because now she know's the higher she flies, the brighter the skies become. 

हर अश्क़ की अपनी दास्ताँ है

     कुछ बह गए, कुछ रह गए । 

  "कही ख़ुशी के उड़ते गुलाल 

कही नमी से आँखें लाल"

BREATHE..

"Breathe. You're going to be okay, everything's going to be fine someday. Breathe and remember, this isn't the first time when you are feeling this way. You've been in this place before many times. This ain't the first time when you are feeling different things at the same time, you are anxious, uncomfortable and scared of things happening around. But you survived the last time, breathe and know that you can survive this too. These feelings, they are just temporary. Know that, they can't break you. yes, they are painful and takes a lot from you! But you can breathe and watch them eventually, pass away. Maybe not immediately, but sooner or later they will fade away. Trust me, when they do you will sit Breathe, and live the moment. You'll look back and laugh for having doubted yourself. You will see things aren't that complicated or unsolved, its just that we make them a little more difficult to handle.You will see, its just in your mind! The limit's in your mind.
 I know  right now it feels unbearable, a lot of pain in the mind and soul. But its just a phase, they come and they go. They are not forever.
          Juts breathe, again and again. This will pass, you will see it 'pass'. 

Your dream. Your journey

Life isn't that easy, and so are dreams. You don't think so hard to make a 'dream', maybe because dreams are not made. Dreams just born, they are born in you. It is truly said, "सपने वो नही होते जो हम सोते वक़्त देखते हैं, सपने तो वो है जो हमे सोने ही न दे". Your dreams are way more than what you think they are, because " सपने न देखने वाले की औकाद देखता है न रुतबा, बस कुछ देखता है तोह देखने वाले की आँखों में जूनून और दिल में जज़्बा". Your dream lies in your eyes. the only thing that follows your heart and not your mind. सपने किसी का मोहताज़ नही होता, न पैसो की और न ही समझौते की. The journey to your dream is never easy, but the best thing about it is 'its your journey' only yours.  You own it, make it or break it; the choice is always in your court. But choices, are not so easy to make. Not everyone will understand your dream, because its your journey your dream and not theirs. And that's okay because not everyone's opinion is your cup of tea. Your job is to listen to your heart, do what you feel like doing. You are here to live 'your' life, not theirs. You are not here to impress them or follow their footsteps. You are here to leave your footprints, तुम्हारे सपने छाप चोर जायेंगे. Let your dreams live a life, only then you fulfill your purpose of living because just 'surviving' is not enough.
सपने बंध आँखों से नही खुली आँखों से देखे जाते है, because its only when your realize, your journey is full of difficulties ahead, but once you overcome those something big is on your way. What matters is, how you see your dreams and how passionately you feel them, not how worthlessly others see it. There isn't really a right time to see a dream or take a step towards to fulfill it, your right time starts the moment you had your dream. Having faith in yourself is the only big thing in this world, no god no destiny nothing can ever stop you from achieving your dreams, your desire.
कहते है किस्मत हो तो सब हासिल है, किस्मत की लकीरे हाथों पे बानी है. पर सुना है सपने उनके भी पुरे हुए जिनके हाथ नही थे. अपनी किस्मत उस लकीरो वाली खुली हाथ में नही होती, किस्मत बनती है जब वही हाथ एक हौसले वाली  बंध मुट्ठी बनती है.
CHASE YOUR DREAMS, LIVE YOUR DREAMS, MAKE YOUR JOURNEY WORTH REMEMBERING.

Aye jindegi

   जिंदगी हमारी यूँ सितम हो गई, खुशी ना जानें कहाँ दफन हो गई ।

अब तोह किसी भी बात पे एतबार नहीँ होता, होतें है बस समझोते दिलों के 

 कितना भी समझा ले, इस दिल को 

कि एक कतरा, कभी कोई सागर नहीँ होता । 

ना जाने क्या आस लिए बैठा है ये दिल, जिंदेगी तो चल रही है आज भी 

 बस डर इतना है कही थम न जाए धड़कन इस दिल की । 

लगते है जो पल सुहाने, वो है मेरे बस खाबो के 

हकीकत में कभी ख़ुशी का दीदार नही होता 

ढल जाते है अश्क, एक और गम की रह लिए 

इन होठो को अब किसी हँसी, का इन्तेजार नही होता । 

न जाने कहाँ है वो रस्ते जिंदगी के, एक सफर जो मुझे मेरी राह तक ले जाये 

ए जिंदगी, थम जा दो पल अभी 

फिर मौका मिले या न मिले कभी। 

F.R.I.E.N.D.S

  An orange couch, a purple door and six friends that touched our lives in ways they will never know.
So, here's something to them-

     So no one told you, life was gonna be this way
     when we all knew Chandler was not gay!
   
    We won't forget our Phoebe's smelly cat,
     while someday we saw Chandler in his woman's hat!
   
     It's like you're always stuck in second gear
     when it hasn't been your day, your month or even your year
   And when you have to see Joseph tribiani's eyes in tear!

   We won't forget Ross and Rachel's zig zag love affair,
    while calling them lobsters is only fair.

   Remember, how Monica and Rachel were always there for each other?
  And, Joey was always more than Chandler's brother!

   We won't forget our Joey's man bag,
    and Rachel's relationship with Tag
   But the best of it..
   The day when Princess Consuella Banana Hammock,
  finally settled with her crap bag!

  How about the times when we saw, Monica's competitive nature
 And loved the way Chandler planned their future!

  We won't ever forget who F.R.I.E.N.D.S are
 Also the day when finally they went far!

And, no one told you life was gonna be this way!

     F.R.I.E.N.D.S <3
