Bin Tere Reprise: I Hate Love Stories

The Paradox of our Age

We have taller buildings but shorter tempers; wider freeways but narrower viewpoints; we spend more but have less; we buy more but enjoy it less; we have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, yet less time; we have more degrees but less sense; more knowledge but less judgement; more experts, yet more problems; we have more gadgets but less satisfaction; more medicine, yet less wellness; we take more vitamins but see fewer results. We drink too much; smoke too much; spend too recklessly; laugh too little; drive too fast; get too angry quickly; stay up too late; get up too tired; read too seldom; watch TV too much and pray too seldom.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values; we fly in faster planes to arrive there quicker, to do less and return sooner; we sign more contracts only to realize fewer profits; we talk too much; love too seldom and lie too often. We've learned how to make a living, but not a life; we've added years to life, not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor. We've conquered outer space, but not inner space; we've done larger things, but not better things; we've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul; we've split the atom, but not our prejudice; we write more, but learn less; plan more, but accomplish less; we make faster planes, but longer lines; we learned to rush, but not to wait; we have more weapons, but less peace; higher incomes, but lower morals; more parties, but less fun; more food, but less appeasement; more acquaintances, but fewer friends; more effort, but less success. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but have less communication; drive smaller cars that have bigger problems; build larger factories that produce less. We've become long on quantity, but short on quality.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion; tall men, but short character; steep in profits, but shallow relationships. These are times of world peace, but domestic warfare; more leisure and less fun; higher postage, but slower mail; more kinds of food, but less nutrition. These are days of two incomes, but more divorces; these are times of fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, cartridge living, thow-away morality, one-night stands, overweight bodies and pills that do everything from cheer, to prevent, quiet or kill. It is a time when there is much in the show window and nothing in the stock room. Indeed, these are the times!!.

I Still Love You!!! [Story]

A Boy was born to a couple, after 11 years of marriage.
They were a Loving couple and the boy was the apple of their eyes.
...When the boy was around 2 years old, one morning the husband saw
a medicine bottle open. He was late for work so he asked the wife
to cap the bottle and keep it in the cupboard.
The mother, preoccupied in the kitchen, totally forgot the matter.

The boy saw the bottle and playfully went to the bottle and, fascinated with its color, drank it all. It happened to be a poisonous medicine meant for adults in small dosages. When the child collapsed, the mother hurried him to the hospital, where he died.
The mother was stunned. She was terrified how to face her husband.

When the distraught father came to the hospital and saw the dead child,
He looked at his wife and uttered just four words..

What do you think were the 4 words???

The husband just said: "I Still Love You " !!!

The husband's totally unexpected reaction is proactive behavior.
The child is dead. He can never be brought back to life but There is no point in finding fault with the mother.
Besides, if only he have taken time to keep the bottle away, this will not have happened. No point in attaching blame.
She had also lost her only child. What she needed at that moment was consolation and sympathy from the husband. That is what he gave her..?

Sometimes we spend time asking who is responsible or who to blame, whether in a relationship, in a job or with the people we know. We miss out some warmth in human relationship in giving each other support.
After all, shouldn't forgiving someone we love be the easiest thing in the world to do? Treasure what you have. Don't multiply pain, anguish and suffering by holding on to forgiveness..

If everyone can look at life with this kind of perspective, there would be much fewer problems in the world..

Take off all your envies, jealousies, unwillingness to forgive, selfishness, and fears and you will find things are actually not as difficult as you think..

Four Candles: Peace, Faith, Love and Hope

Four candles were talking to each other.

1st- "I am PEACE, no one needs me." & it went off.

2nd-"I am FAITH, no longer indispensable" & it went off.

3rd-" I am LOVE, nobody cares for me. People put me aside and don't understand my importance. They even forget to love those who are nearest to them." & it went off.

4th- "I can light the other three because I am HOPE, & I last forever...!"

Life is tough but Never let the Flame of Hope go out. With Hope in your life, no matter how bad things may be, Peace, Faith and Love may shine brightly once again. Cheers!

Thank You

Thank You from the depth of my heart
For showing me that I’m not a part
I don’t rank high in your priority
And my needs are not your responsibility.

Cause of my Love, you are not worthy
Go seek it somewhere else please.
Cause I don’t tolerate being displeased.

My feelings aren’t a video game,
A virtual reality where all feel the same.
I’m Unique in my Love and needs,
And I expect to be treated equally.

What a mess we came to be
When I ignored my heart’s warning
Things have fallen out of place
Just so I can put you, in your right place

Teri yaad : Ankita Jain

...My love for you will continue to burn bright

I never knew there would be a better tomorrow
But you've come into my life and taken away all my sorrow
My days of sadness are a thing of the past
Because I have found true love at last
My days of emptiness are gone for good
Because you fill a void in my heart that you should
You've opened a window
You've shown me the light
And my love for you will continue to burn bright....

Phir Suna - Emptiness

Phir Suna, Meethi Meethi si Wo Dastaan,
Jisko sunke meri zindagi, mei hoti hai nayi subah...

Paas aa, aake mujhse phir na; door jaa,
Pyari pyari is raat ki, gehraiyon mei doob ja...

Aa, Bahon mei, bhar loon tujhko Kaskar,
Sare gam bhulade, dekhe jab tu hanskar...

Ye raat dhal na jaye, Samet loon main har pal,
Aa mil ke sajayein, jo aane wala hai pal...

Paas aa, aake Mujhse phir na door Jaa,
Pyari Pyari iss raat ki, Gehraiyon mei doob jaa...

Mera Dil mera jaan tu, mere saare Armaan tu...

Tere liye to mai chor doon Ye jahaan.......!!!

No matter the distance that keeps us apart !!!

I never thought I'd be the first to say goodbye,
I never thought I'd be the one to make you cry.

I dint realize we'd have to part someday,
I dint realize I wouldn't be able to stay.

I will always see you in my dreams,
I will always remember nothing is as it seems.

You will always be secure in my heart,
No matter the distance that keeps us apart !!

Getting married means...

Getting married means you'll have Someone's hand to hold,
Even when you're feeling sick, Even when you're old.
It means when you sit down to eat, Someone will be there,
So you won't have to tell your day, To an empty chair.

It means that you can have some kids,Just like a mom and dad,
And play with them all afternoon, Except when they are bad.
It means that when you need some help,Someone will help out,
Someone always near to you,So you won't have to shout.

But best of all is when it's time, To turn out all the lights,
You won't have to be alone,Those long and scary nights.
So even though you don't have toys,You don't have to care,
Once you're married you can be,Each others teddy bear !!

...जब तुम्हारे दूर होने का एहसास होता है|

हिचकियों से एक बात का पता चलता है, कि कोई हमें याद तो करता है|
बात न करे तो क्या हुआ, कोई आज भी हम पर कुछ लम्हे बरबाद तो करता है||
ज़िंदगी हमेशा पाने के लिए नहीं होती, हर बात समझाने के लिए नहीं होती|
याद तो अक्सर आती है आप की, लेकिन हर याद जताने के लिए नहीं होती||
महफिल न सही तन्हाई तो मिलती है, मिलन न सही जुदाई तो मिलती है|
कौन कहता है मोहब्बत में कुछ नहीं मिलता, वफ़ा न सही बेवफाई तो मिलती है||
कितनी जल्दी ये मुलाक़ात गुज़र जाती है, प्यास बुझती नहीं बरसात गुज़र जाती है|
अपनी यादों से कह दो कि यहाँ न आया करें, नींद आती नहीं और रात गुज़र जाती है||
उमर की राह में रस्ते बदल जाते हैं, वक्त की आंधी में इन्सान बदल जाते हैं|
सोचते हैं तुम्हें इतना याद न करें, लेकिन आंखें बंद करते ही इरादे बदल जाते हैं||
कभी कभी दिल उदास होता है, हल्का हल्का सा आँखों को एहसास होता है|
छलकती है मेरी भी आँखों से नमी, जब तुम्हारे दूर होने का एहसास होता है !!

Dil Ko Bhi Dil Se Khafa Dekhti Hoon

Sabhi Puchhte Hai Ki Kya Main Sochti Hoon
Yahi Sochati Hun Ki Kya Sochati Hoon

Jal Gaya Aanshiyan Lut Gayi Dosti
Khud Hairan Hoon Ki Kya Dhoondhati Hoon

Fiza Ko Bhi Gairat Hai Aashiyane Se Mere
Har Shay Ko Ab Be-Wafa Dekhti Hoon

Mera Ujdha Hua Hai Chaman Ab Saara
Bahar-A-Gulistan Me Kya Deakhti Hoon

Berukhi Ki Noubat Kya Kahoo
Ki Dil Ko Bhi Dil Se Khafa Dekhti Hoon ..!

जिस फूल को देखूँ वही पैमाना हुआ है...

"बदनाम मेरे प्यार का अफ़साना हुआ है
दीवाने भी कहते हैं कि दीवाना हुआ है

रिश्ता था तभी तो किसी बेदर्द ने तोड़ा
अपना था तभी तो कोई बेगाना हुआ है

बादल की तरह आ के बरस जाइए इक दिन
दिल आप के होते हुए वीराना हुआ है

बजाते हैं ख्यालों में तेरी याद के घुंघरू
कुछ दिन से मेरा घर भी परीखाना हुआ है

मौसम ने बनाया है निगाहों को शराबी
जिस फूल को देखूँ वही पैमाना हुआ है"

हमारे भीतर का कल्पवृक्ष

जब हमारी कल्पना शक्ति सकल्प शक्ति में परिणत हो जाती है, तो मन कल्पवृक्ष बन जाता है और इच्छित फल देने लगता है। हमें मात्र अपने भीतर के डर, अहंकार, लोभ इत्यादि की खरपतवार को दूर करना होता है|
एक पुरानी कथा है। एक व्यक्ति जंगल से गुजर रहा था। भूख-प्यास से बेहाल हो गया। गर्मी और थकान से हारा वह व्यक्ति एक छायादार वृक्ष के नीचे बैठ गया। उसे यह पता नहीं था कि वह जिस वृक्ष के नीचे बैठा है, वह कल्पवृक्ष है। गर्मी से निजात मिली, तो सोचा कि काश, कहीं से खाना-पानी मिल जाता। अचानक उसके सामने सुस्वादु भोजन का थाल और जल से भरा मटका उपस्थित हो गया। उसने पेट भरकर खाना खाया और पानी पिया। अब उसका दिमाग चलने लगा। उसके भीतर डर और आशंकाएं सिर उठाने लगीं। उसने सोचा, हो न हो, इस पेड़ पर कोई भूत रहता होगा, जिसने यह चमत्कार किया। तब तो वह भूत पेड़ से कूदकर मुझे खा जाएगा। उसके इतना सोचने भर की देर थी कि पेड़ से एक भूत कूदा और उसे खा गया। निश्चित रूप से यह कथा कपोल कल्पित है, लेकिन इसमें जीवन का मर्म निहित है।

भारतीय दर्शन मानता है कि हमारे सभी कर्मों का कारण मन है। यदि हम चोरी करते हैं, तो उसके लिए पहले मन को तैयार करते हैं। इसी तरह किसी की मदद के लिए भी मन की स्वीकार्यता लेनी होती है। उपनिषद में कहा गया है, मन एव मनुष्याणा कारण बधमोक्षयो: अर्थात, मन बंधन का भी कारण है और मोक्ष का भी। मन के परिष्कृत हो जाने से या उसमें सकारात्मक ऊर्जा भर जाने से स्वत: दया, करुणा, उदारता, सेवा, परोपकार जैसे सद्गुणों का उदय हो जाता है।

सकारात्मक विचारों के प्रवाह से हम मन को परिष्कृत करते हैं। अब बात आती है कल्पवृक्ष की तरह सोचे हुए को सच करने की। हम सबके भीतर एक कल्पना शक्ति होती है। मन में आने वाले विचार इसी कल्पना शक्ति द्वारा संचालित होते है। मन परिष्कृत तभी होगा, जब हम अपनी कल्पना शक्ति से सकारात्मक विचारों का सृजन करने लगेंगे। मन एक ऐसी उत्पादन मशीन है, जो कच्चे माल को परिष्कृत करके प्रभावी स्वरूप देती है। हमारी कल्पना और विचार उसका कच्चा माल हैं। विचार यदि सकारात्मक है, तो उसकी परिणति प्रभावी होती है, इसी प्रकार नकारात्मक कल्पनाएं वहां से और भी प्रभावी होकर निकलती हैं। हमें मन रूपी मशीन को सकारात्मक कल्पनाओं का कच्चा माल ही देना होगा।
कथा में कल्पवृक्ष के नीचे बैठे व्यक्ति की तरह यदि हमारे भीतर संशय, संदेह और डर बने हुए हैं, तो आशंका रूपी भूत हमें निश्चय ही खा जाएगा। हमारा अस्तित्व समाप्त हो जाएगा। मनोवैज्ञानिक कहते हैं कि मन में बैठा हुआ डर या वहम हमें सोच के अनुसार ही फल देने लगता है। भले ही भूत-प्रेत का अस्तित्व न होता हो, लेकिन ऐसी स्थिति में हमें वह न होते हुए भी दिखाई देने लगता है और उसकी आहट भी हम सुनने लगते हैं। यह एक प्रकार का मनोविकार है। हमें अपनी कल्पनाओं को डर और संशय से निकाल कर सृजनात्मक और सकारात्मक सोच में पिरोना होगा। तब सकारात्मक प्रतिफल प्राप्त होने लगेंगे। यह प्रक्रिया हमारी कल्पनाओं को संकल्प में बदल देंगी। हम जैसा चाहेंगे, उसी के अनुसार कार्य करेगे। इसी को मन को वश में करना कहते हैं।
भगवान श्रीकृष्ण ने गीता में कहा है, 'जिसका मन वश में है, राग-द्वेष से रहित है, वह स्थायी प्रसन्नता प्राप्त करता है। जो व्यक्ति मन को वश में कर लेता है, उसी को कर्मयोगी कहा जाता है।' भगवान बुद्ध ने कहा था, 'मन को मारने से इच्छाएं नहीं मरती, इसलिए मन को मारने की नहीं, साधने की जरूरत है। मन कभी खाली नहीं रह सकता। अत: उसे नकारात्मक विचारों से मुक्त रखकर हमेशा सकारात्मक विचारों का ही मथन करते रहना चाहिए।'
सकारात्मक कल्पनाओं को संकल्प में बदलकर हम मन को साध लेते हैं। फिर मन कल्पवृक्ष की तरह सदैव अच्छे परिणाम देने लगता है।

Reshared from Dainik jagran

Love drives me insane!

Love is in the air,
Love is everywhere,
If you were smart,
You'd say it's in your heart,
Love is in your eyes,
Of a great disguise,
But, when you think you've found the one,
You're probably not done,
Love is all about pain,
And, if you ask me it drives all insane.

Those who don't like it call it responsibility.
Those who play with it call it a game.
Those who don't have it call it a dream.
Those who understand it call it destiny.
And me, I call it you.

[I am still searching that 'You']

Three Words

Three words, Fill my racing mind
Leave me breathless, Lost in time

Three words, Fill my endless dreams
Repair my heart, Mend the seams

Three words, Fill my joyful life
My Love, With you by my side

Three words, Fill your heart too
Three words pronounced, I love you

वो भी मेरा अपना था

कोई तो था, जो मेरा अपना था,

जिसने जीना सिखलाया, वो मेरा अपना था|

दिल तो बिखर चुका था टूटे हुए मोतियों की तरह,
दिल को जिसने संवारा, वो मेरा अपना था|
खो चुकी थी उम्मीद खुशियाँ पाने की,
खुशियाँ जिसने समेटीं, वो मेरा अपना था|

कहता था साथ दूंगा सात ज़न्मों का,

बीच राह में जो छोड़ गया वो भी मेरा अपना था|

शिकवा बस इतना है ये दोस्तों,
जिसने साथ छोड़ा वो भी मेरा अपना था|| 

ए मेरी मोहब्बत सुनो, मैं ये मशवरा दूंगा

ए मेरी मोहब्बत सुनो, मैं ये मशवरा दूंगा,
तू मुझे भुला देना, मैं तुझे भुला दूंगा|
मिट चुकी हैं उम्मीदें, फूल दिल में खिलने की,
आखिरी घड़ी आई, आज तुझसे मिलने की|
याद करके तू; मुझको, आंखे नम नहीं करना,
देख इस जुदाई का कोई ग़म नहीं करना|
सिलसिले तो बनते हैं, बन के टूट जाते हैं,
ज़िन्दगी में ये लम्हे सबको आजमाते हैं|
हमसे, पहले, बिछड़े हैं और भी ज़माने में,
और भी तो शामिल हैं गम के इस फ़साने में|
ये तो रस्म-ऐ-दुनिया है, ऐसा होता रहता है,
तू मुझको भुला देना, में तुझको भुला दूंगा|
लिख दिया जो किस्मत ने, वही फासला है ये,
न कोई शिकायत है, न कोई गिला है ये|
रस्मों के लिए अपनी, कसमें टूट जाने दे,
अब तो यही बेहतर है, साथी छूट जाने दे|
मिल गया जो अब, तुझ को मेहरबान; मुबारक हो
तुझको अपनी खुशियों का ये समां मुबारक हो|
बिखरे हैं मेरे सपने, टूटा है ये दिल मेरा,
टूटे दिल से फिर भी, अब तुझे दुआ दूंगा|
तू मुझे भुला देना, मैं तुझे भुला दूंगा,
अब मैं तुझसे मिलने की आरजू बदल दूंगा|
 ज़ख्मों को दबा लूँगा, हसरतें कुचल लूँगा|
मैं तेरी वफाओं को, दिल्लगी समझ लूँगा,
मेरे हमसफ़र, तुझको, अजनबी समझ लूँगा|
तू मेरा तसब्बर भी, अपने पास मत रखना,
ज़िन्दगी में अब मुझसे कोई आस मत रखना|

मुस्कुराये तू हर दम, बस यही दुआ है मेरी||

...आदत कब बदलती है

"तुम्हें जो याद रखा है, यही अपनी मोहब्बत है,

मोहब्बत करने वालों की, मोहब्बत कब बदलती है|
जो दिल में नक्श हो जाये, निगाहों में सिमट आये,
अलामत है ये चाहत की, चाहत कब बदलती है|
तुम्हीं को चाहते हैं हम, तुम ही से प्यार करते हैं,
ये बरसों की आदत है, आदत कब बदलती है|"

मेरी मय्यत भी बोलेगी मुझे तुमसे मोहब्बत है

तुम जब से मिले हो ये दुनिया जन्नत है,
तुम्हें यूँ चाहते रहना ही बस मेरी इबादत है||
न जाने क्यूं नहीं लगा मुझे डर ज़माने से,
सुना है प्यार करने वालों की ऐसी ही फितरत है||
मेरे महबूब अगर कोई लगा दे मुझको सूली भी,
मेरी मय्यत भी बोलेगी मुझे तुमसे मोहब्बत है||

छोड़ देता है मेरा साया भी साथ अक्सर

मैंने उल्फत के तकाजों को निभाया अक्सर,
और लोगों ने मेरा दर्द बढ़ाया अक्सर||
मैंने टूटे हुए लोगों को उठाना चाहा,
और लोगों ने सर-ए-राह गिराया अक्सर||
मैंने चाहत को ज़माने में तमाशा न किया,
अपने ढलते हुए अक्शों को छुपाया अक्सर||
यूँ तेरे तर्क-ए-ताल्लुक से शिकायत कैसी,

छोड़ देता है मेरा साया भी साथ अक्सर||

Do you know how it feels

Do you know how it feels
When someone throws you out of their life for someone else..?

Do you know how it feels
When you want to die with each breath..?

Do you know how it feels
When someone else snatching the person you loved the most..?

Do you know how it feels..
when you Have to say "I'm fine" 'n fake a smile but Nothing is OK at all..?

Do you know how it feels
when you try hard to smile but tears fall unknowingly..?

Do you know how it feels to know..
That the Only wish you had will never be fulfilled..?

I have gone through all of these..
Just Because Of you
'n in Return...
I will be Loving You Forever with My Broken Heart...

I'll be Loving You with all these Broken Pieces..
But my love will be Stronger than Any Unbroken Heart..
No One Can Love You Like I Can... !

..जरूरत नहीं रही

रूठने की अदा तो हमको भी आती है,
मगर काश कोई होता हमें भी मनाने वाला,

किसी के प्यार में गहरी चोट खायी है,
वफ़ा से पहले ही बेवफाई पाई है|
लोग तो दुआ मांगते हैं मरने की,
पर हमने उसकी याद में जीने की कसम खायी है|

दुश्मनों में भी दोस्त मिला करते हैं,
काँटों में भी फूल खिला करते हैं|
हमको कांटा समझ कर छोड़ न देना,
कांटे ही फूल की हिफाज़त किया करते हैं|

अब क्या कहे तुझको मोहब्बत नहीं रही,
तेरी तलब में पहली सी सिद्दत नहीं रही|
क्या तेरी वफाओं का मौसम बदल गया,
या तुझको मेरी मोहब्बत की जरूरत नहीं रही|

Love goes on and last forever

Seasons change, friends move away,
And life goes on from day to day.
Flowers fade and streams go dry,
And many times we wonder why.
Yet we can always be assured,
Because God tells us in His Words,
That unlike changes in the weather,
Love goes on and last forever !!

Feeling of BreakUp

"I know it's hard to believe people when they say, 'I know how you feel' .... but I actually know how you feel.
What I am trying to say is,
I understand feeling as small and as insignificant as humanly possible. And how it can actually ache in places you didn't know you had inside you. And it doesn't matter how many new haircuts you get, or gyms you join, or how many glasses of chardonnay you drink with your girlfriends... you still go to bed every night going over every detail and wonder what you did wrong or how you could have misunderstood. And how in the hell for that brief moment you could think that you were that happy. And sometimes you can even convince yourself that he'll see the light and show up at your door. And after all that, however long all that may be, you'll go somewhere new. And you'll meet people who make you feel worthwhile again. And little pieces of your soul will finally come back. And all that fuzzy stuff, those years of your life that you wasted, that will eventually begin to fade."
~ Iris, The Holiday

When you fall in love...

"When you fall in love, it is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake, and then it subsides. And when it subsides, you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots are become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being “in love” which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident."
~ From Captain Corelli's Mandolin

Zinda Hoon Jis Ki AAS Pe Woh Bhi Rula Gaya.
Bandhan Wafa Ke Tod Ke Sare Chala Gaya.
Khud Hi To Ki Thi usne Mobabbat Ki IBTIDA.
Hathoo Mein Hath De Ke Khud Hi Chhuda Gaya.
Kar Di Jis Ke Liye Maine Tabah Zindagi.
Ulta Woh Bewafai Ki Tuhmat Laga Gaya.

Maybe I am not fine!

No one is mine
May be I'm not fine,

No one cares for me
No one has tears for me,

No one believes me
Everyone says leave me,

If I ever cry
No one will even ask why?

and If I ever die
No one will cry,

No one says take care
Everyone says I don't care,

When I need someone for myself
I find no one for help,

I don't know why?
Maybe talking to me they feel shy..!!

No one is mine
Maybe I am not fine. .. :-|

आये थे वो मेरी ज़िन्दगी में , एक हसीं सपने की तरह

आये थे वो मेरी ज़िन्दगी में , एक हसीं सपने की तरह .
कुछ पल ठहरे और चले गए ,
ओस की बूंदों की तरह .
क्या गिला करें उनसे ,
जब हमे किस्मत ने दगा दिया .
और समझकर हसीं ख्वाब
उसने हमे भुला दिया .
था वफाओं का जो महल ढहा ,
ताश के पत्तों की तरह .
आये थे वो मेरी ज़िन्दगी में , एक हसीं सपने की तरह .

नादाँ है ये दिल कहता है ,
वो वापस आयेंगे .
सीने से लगाकर मुझे अपने
हर शिकवे को मिटायेंगे .
कैसे यकीन दिलाऊँ इसे की ,
उसने तो हमे भुला दिया .
और एक पल में अपने से
बेगाना बना दिया .
बिखर गयी हर उम्मीद आज ,
रेट के टीले की तरह .
आये थे वो मेरी ज़िन्दगी में , एक हसीं सपने की तरह .

जब तक आंसू न बहे, दिल को न आराम आया

डबडबा आयी वो ऑंखें जो मेरा नाम आया
इश्क नाकाम सही फिर भी बहुत काम आया

लज्ज़त-ऐ-मर्ज-ऐ-मोहब्बत कोई उस से पूछे
जिसके लब पर दम-ऐ-आखिर भी तेरा नाम आया

ज़िंदगी तेरे तसव्वुर से अलग रही न सकी
नगमा कोई हो मगर साज़ यही काम आया

हम पे ऎसी भी गम-ऐ-इश्क में रातें गुज़रीं
जब तक आंसू न बहे, दिल को न आराम आया

दो दीवाने याद आये

भूली बिसरी चंद उम्मीदें, चंद फ़साने याद आये
तुम याद आये और तुम्हारे साथ ज़माने याद आये

दिल का चमन शादाब था, फिर भी ख़ाक सी उड़ती रहती थी
कैसे ज़माने- ए-ग़म-ए-जाना, तेरे बहाने याद आये

ठंडी सर्द हवा के झोंके, आग लगाकर छोड़ गए
फूल खिले शाखों पे नए, और दर्द पुराने याद आये

हंसने वालों से डरते थे, छुप छुप कर रो लेते थे
गहरी गहरी सोच में डूबे, दो दीवाने याद आये

...ke tumhara ghar nahi milta

Ek baar jo milta hai dobara nahi milta
Itni badi duniya main koi hamara nahi milta

Kis ko banayein apni zindagi ka hamsafar
Hum ko kahin se ishara nahi milta

Har roz naye naye log milte hain
Magar koi bhi jaan se pyara nahi milta

Gham k bhawar main aise phasi hai nav,
Pareshan hai is kadar ke kinara nahi milta

Muddat k baad tere gali main aaye hain
Ab kis se poochen ke tumhara ghar nahi milta!

How God created Mother

When the Good Lord was creating mothers, He was into his sixth day of “overtime” when an angel appeared and said:

“You’re doing a lot of fiddling around on this one.”

And the Lord said, “Have you read the specs on this order?

* She has to be completely washable, but not plastic;

* Have 180 movable parts… all replaceable;

* Run on black coffee and leftovers;

* Have a lap that disappears when she stands up;

* A kiss that can cure anything from a broken leg to a disappointed love affair;

* And six pairs of hands.”

The angel shook her head slowly and said, “Six pairs of hands… no way.”

“It’s not the hands that are causing me problems,” said the Lord. “It’s the three pairs of eyes that mothers have to have.”

“That’s on the standard model?” asked the angel.

The Lord nodded.

“One pair that sees through closed doors when she asks, ’What are you kids doing in there?’

“Another here in the back of her head that sees what she shouldn’t but what she has to know.

“And of course the ones here in front that can look at a child when he goofs up and say, ’I understand and I love you’ without so much as uttering a word.”

“Lord,” said the angel, touching His sleeve gently, “Go to bed. Tomorrow…”

“I can’t,” said the Lord, “I’m so close to creating something so close to myself. Already I have one who heals herself when she is sick

“…can feed a family of six on one pound of hamburger

“… and can get a nine-year-old to stand under a shower.”

The angel circled the model of a mother very slowly. “It’s too soft,” she sighed.

“But she’s tough!” said the Lord excitedly. “You cannot imagine what this mother can do or endure.”

“Can she think?”

“Not only can she think, but she can reason and compromise,” said the Creator.

Finally, the angel bent over and ran her finger across the cheek.

“There’s a leak,” she said. “I told You were trying to push too much into this model.”

“It’s not a leak,” said the Lord. “It’s a tear.”

“What’s it for?”

“It’s for joy, sadness, disappointment, pain, loneliness, and pride.”

And the Mother was created – a work of genius.

A Mother

A mother is a simple woman,
Love and care are her style,
Her smile shines more than sun,
All I want for her is everlasting smile..

Sent from heaven to earth,
Who love their daughter and son,
Whom they give birth,
A mother fills our life with fun..

An ordinary woman who gives so much,
Whom you need and who will love you,
To sleep on a dark night we need her touch,
Except for her's no love can be so true..

Each moment she stays same,
and who can forgive very soon,
We don't need to know her name,
Because her every word is a boon..

Who loves us like no other,
Whose debt cannot be paid,
She is our superhero, our mother,
For who there can be no grade..

She takes care of all our stuff,
To express my love there are no words to say,
I know these words can't be good enough,
But I wanna wish them happy mother's day..!!

P.S. Contrary to the fact that I don't believe in mother's day, I posted this poem just b'cos it is about Mom.

...ज़रूरत क्या है

बेसबब बात बढ़ाने की ज़रूरत क्या है
हम खफा कब थे मनाने की ज़रूरत क्या है

आप के दम से तो दुनिया का भरम है कायम
आप जब हैं तो ठिकाने की ज़रूरत क्या है

तेरा कूचा, तेरा दर, तेरी गली काफी है,
बेठिकानों को ठिकाने की ज़रूरत क्या है

दिल से मिलाने की तमन्ना ही नहीं जब दिल में
हाथ से हाथ मिलाने की ज़रूरत क्या है

रंग आँखों के लिए, बू है दिमागों के लिए
फूल को हाथ लगाने की ज़रूरत क्या है

You're Everything to Me

It doesn't mean I can never try,
when tears come out as I cry,
My tears build a memory lane,
I keep walking, just to meet you again..!!

As I stand alone in the courtyard,
Everything in life now seems so hard,
So I ask God, every time I pray,
give me strength for one more day..!!

Since the moment we are apart,
I live with an empty and hollow heart,
My heart may not make it through,
But It just can't stop loving you..!!

I wonder why I did not confess,
Its all your love inside, that I possess,
I don't know if I'll ever smile,
I just wanna be with you for a while..!!

I can keep everything aside,
But your love is something I can't hide,
I don't know if things can be same,
But, I know someday you'll call my name..!!

I just wanna see your lovely face,
But, I am stuck at lonely place,
I don't know if I will ever be free,
But, I know you're everything to me..!!

Just Because...

I’m a liar just because I don't tell you everything ?
I’m stupid just because sometimes I am wrong ?
I’m ugly just because my face isn’t perfect ?
I’m a pushover just because I like making people happy ?
I’m a loser just because I’m a not friend with your group?
I’m fake just because I’m too nice?
I’m weird just because I’m not like you?
I’m fat just because I eat whenever I’m hungry?
I’m clingy just because I don’t like to be alone?
I’m insecure just because I care about what people think of me?
I’m no fun just because I'm not always hyper?
Don’t try to tell me who I am BECAUSE u already Know...!!

I'm sorry

'I'm sorry I constantly wanna talk to you.
I'm sorry when you take so long to reply, I get sad.
I'm sorry if I say things that might piss you off.
I'm sorry if I become annoying.
I'm sorry if you don't wanna talk to me as much as I wanna talk to you.
I'm sorry if I think about you too much every time.
I'm sorry when I become pointlessly dramatic when you really don't care.
I'm sorry if I come off as Clingy. But its just me missing you so much.
I'm sorry, I love you.

Kisi ka Naam Likhne Se, Koi Apna Nhi Hota...

Bade Masoom Jazbon Se,
Wo Apne Shokh Haathon par,
Wafa ki Surkh Mehndi Se,
Usi ka Naam Likhti Hai,
Jise wo Pyaar karti Hai
Magar wo Na-smajh Larki
Abhi Tak Ye Nahi Samjhi,
Ke Sapnay Toot Jaayen To,
Bahut Barbaad kartay Hain!
Ye ujhlay Rang Haathon Par,
Kabhi Thehra Nhi karte
Mohabbat To Haqeeqat Hai...!!
Koi Sapna Nahi Hota...!!
Kisi ka Naam Likhne Se,
Koi Apna Nhi Hota...!!

Mr Rock n Roll - Amy McDonald

So called Mr Rock And Roll
Is dancing on his own again
Talking on his phone again
To someone who tells him that his balance is low
He's got no where to go
He's on his own again

Rock chick of the century
Is acting like she used to be
Dancing like there's no one there
Before she never seemed to care
Now she wouldn't dare
It's so rock and roll to be alone

And they'll meet one day
Far away
And say "I wish I was something more"
And they'll meet one day
Far away
And say " I wish I knew you, I wish I knew you before"

Mrs Black and White
She's never seen a shade of grey
Always something on her mind
Every single day
But now she's lost her way
And where does she go from here

Mr Multicultural
Sees all that one can see
He's living proof of someone
Very different to me


But now he wants to be free
Free so he can see

And they'll meet one day
Far away
And say "I wish I was something more"
And they'll meet one day
Far away
And say "I wish I knew you, I wish I knew you before"

He says "I wish I knew you, I wish I met you
When time was still on my side"
She'll say " I wish I knew you, I wish I loved you
Before I was his bride"

And so they must depart
Too many more are broken hearts
But I've seen that all before
In TV, books and film and more
And there's a happy ending
Every single day

And they'll meet one day
Far away
And say "I wish I was something more"
And they'll meet one day
Far away
And say "I wish I knew you, I wish I knew you before"
