.......AND THEN, GOD MET ME

Sitting  in  Silence

Delving deep

into the depths

of the 'Self '

Overcoming the shadows

of an overwelming Mind

Sense the long and

Out-stretched  'Arms'

of   Light;

a  reaction on this  side

sends the 'Self '

Floating silently across

Vacant space,

To meet mid-way

and,

Melt into a  Divine Embrace.......

AKKSAR, TUM.....

Akksar, tum mere Mann

ki dehleez par nazar aate  ho,

AKKSAR, TUM....

Akksar, tum mere Mann ke darwazon par

dastak karte hua sunayee diya karte ho,

Akksar,  tum mere Mann ke kamron-kinaaron mein

baase hu a, samaye hu a hote ho,

Aksar, tum mere Mann ke kore farsh par

rangolian bana daal te ho

Akksar, tum mere  Mann ki dewaron par

dhuleti  khel jate ho

Akksar, tum mere Mann ke galiyon se

mere Dil ki seema on  par aa bhaith te ho

Akksar, tum mere Dil  ki raah se 

meri  Rooh  dhoond  nikaal  te ho

Akksar, tum meri Rooh mein  

samma jate ho.....

CHOODIYAAN

 Kis kis ki kalaahiyan sajayen gi

yeh churiyan;

Rang birangi ,sindoori chamkili

yeh chudiyan;

Pyar ka sauda karwadeti hain

yeh chidiyan;

Suhaag ki nishaani, garv se pehenee jayein

yeh chudiyan;

Ek chand se pati ke liya humme sajjaye sawaarein

yeh chudiyan;

Rang birangi , sindoori sajjili

yeh chudiyan;

Kuch rupayon ki hon bhale, par hoti hain anmol

yeh chudiyan

Do Dilon ke milan ki nishani

yeh chudiyan.....

Prem se pehni jaye sada

yeh chudiyan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOVE n FAITH

You say that I broke your Heart

I say to you that You broke my Faith;

You will find others who'll mend Your Heart and love You

But where will I find a new God ..to install in the Shrine of 

my Heart....

WINTER TURN ON !!

• What gives you a wintry '' turn on'' ?!
  
  
  What turns me on is
• the slanting sun's rays
• on chilly wintery days,
  
  
  smoke hanging heavily
• in the thick air
• capped, and muffled and mittened
• in soft mohair
  
  
  sitting in a corner cozy
• sipping delicious tea
• warmed by a burner
•  that turns the pale cheeks rosy
  
  
  attempting long walks
• in the early biting dawn
• and gaze at the trees
• whose leaves are shorn
  
  
  stare at purple daisies
• that with stand the cold bite
• and optimistically look
•  towards the sunny site
  
  
  viewing from my window
• the glassy frost 
• of green grassy ground 
• swaying on the lounger
•  pelting poetry 
• of  joys which in Life abound......

YAAD....

YAAD....


Is pal pal ki yaad ki
koi toh dawaa hogi;

Jinhein bhulaye bhul payein-
aise koi dua toh hogi ?

Mann ke aaksash mein
kitne sitare tim timaye;

Magar uss sitare ki roshni
ke raaz ki koi baat toh zarroor hogi.....?
