Goodbye!

Hello Kind People,

I was in conversation with a person today and this is what he said,

'The more time you spend with someone, the more they see only your flaws and run away as far as they can and all your goods go out of the window'

I have served you for so many years and off late I have received feedback of

'Your poems are depressing '
'Kitna roota baap tu apne poems main'

And may be I do. So before more of you start dropping, which is already happening, I think I'll take this break until I can come up with more poems like these

I am going to meet two cats Loki and Luna
And in their house lives Kru, their momma.
Wah Wah Wah!

Thank you for having faith in me and loving my work.
I hope I can come back stronger emotionally and mentally and be of your service again.

Goodnight take care.
I love you and I miss you already.

PS: I'll leave you with a last poem for a couple of months.

Reng reng ke akhir phir khade hue toh
I didn't have a crutch and I'd like to keep it so

Badi mashakat se sametha tha khud ko
I want to be happy but I need to take it slow

Is safar main bahut kuch sirf khooya hi hoon main
I pray I am not the cause for someone's pain.

Main bas kush rehkar jeena chahta hoon
But not at the cost of guilt and broken homes.

Reng reng ke akhir phir khade hue toh
Ladkhate hue sambhal toh jaayenge aur phir zindagi ke safar par chal padenge.

Mere Shabd

I jumped into a word with a tape at hand,
At freefall, not knowing where I would land.

Words are shrewd, they threw me out,
And that's how the depth I never found.

Every tool I have used and none of any use,
To reach the bottom, I need a few clues.

It then dawned upon me, words are inherently shallow,
It's their meanings that I'll need to now follow.

And that's how I reached the depth of these words,
Depth where a new world beckons and i may be home.

Why then does any language matter,
Let's transcend into a phase juxtaposing letters.

Tu na kal si na tu ajj hai, eh bol teh naal ne,
Gheriyan ne, inha nu samajh javange ge.

Inhi main ek naya nazarya milega,
Ab dhoondenge woh jiski kalpana kabhi nahi ki.

Yeh bol ghere toh hain, but they aren't closing in on me,
Surrounding myself with these words, my memories have stopped choking me.

Shikayat

Shikwa shikayat toh khoob karni hai rab se 
Kore kaagaz ko alfaazo se bharna hai phir se 

Zindagi yeh hi hain, jo khaniyo main suna karte hain
Dard se choor hain, par muskuriye khoob, shayad jeena isi ka naam hai.

Khoobsurat hai tu

तेरे माथे पे वो छोटी सी बिंदिया, कैसे बयान करू तुझपे कितनी जचती है,
जैसे पूर्णिमा की रात का चमकता चाँद।

तेरे आंखों पे जो काजल सजा है, कैसे बयान करू तुझपे कितना जचता है,
जैसे किसी द्वीप को ओढे एक घेरा समुन्दर।

तेरे कानो से थिरकते वो झुमके, कैसे बयान करू तुझपे कितने जचते है,
जैसे नित्य में लीन कोई अप्सरा।

और यह नथ, कैसे बयान करू तुझपे कितना ही जचता है,
जैसे किसी बाग का वो अकेला खिला गुलाब।

तोफा

Dekho toh hum kya laye hai
Kholo toh yeh jo tofa laye hai

Haathon main band hum mausam laye hai
Aao toh inhe tumpe laga dete hai

Kaisa laga?

Dekho toh yaha vadi ki chaap laaye hai
Kahaniya aur kai kisse bhi laaye hai

Aankhon main bandh hum bol laye hai
Suno toh geet nahi loori laaye hai

Milo toh hum aaye hai
Dekho toh tumhaare liye tofa laaye hai.
