ONLY LOVE CAN

(force may help bring temporary changes but only love can bring a lasting one)

Only love can!!!

you may throw water on me or cajole me with a cup of coffee
i will get up both ways...

you may slap me or cajole me still i will do what i deem right,
you may snatch or request still i will give...
as hate doesn't move me,

Only love can!!!

So it is with everything and everyone in this world.

everyone knows
everyone believes
everyone agrees

Only love can!!!

but we don't

love is so easy
love's like water
it reaches everywhere
it keeps us alive.

without love we are better dead than alive
without love life is a burning flame

the heat, the fire, the smoke and the ashes.

forces us to shut our eyes
cover our selves
once we are covered
we can't see, hear, smell, speak or feel:

converting humans into devils
when we have blocked our five senses
we really don't care,
if we hurt others,
kill others or suppress others.

We all become demons;
who only knows;
who only like the dripping of blood,
dripping of tears...

Only love can
stop all this.

When we love
we are open
the five senses work at their best;
we see, we hear, we smell, we speak
we feel others.

we love
there's coziness in love
the coldness is not detachment
but a better way to perceive goodness...

it brings us close
we care for others as we
care for ourselves
that's the state
we need to be in...
that's what everyone needs to achieve...

which ,

             ONLY LOVE CAN!!!

Meetings & partings…

Meetings &  partings…

It started as a 9 day boy.

I started recognizing my mother,

Every time,  I could not see her

Don’t  remember what the feeling was but I cried.

As a 9 day boy.

Meetings & partings…

It was on roll when I was four & a half…

I was taken to a distant place away from my siblings…

My gods were with me…

They handed me to a stranger in a strange place

And vanished…

This time, I cried hard…..

For hours and days at length.

Hoping my gods will hear…

But it turned out they were mere humans …

& could only hear inside a 30 mts. Radius.

In my adult life,

Meetings & partings

Became a way to live.

So many lovers I had

So many I loved

Some came

Some went   

Sometimes they left

Sometimes I asked them to…

Heart broke every time,

Tears rolled every time,

Meetings & partings

When acquaintances were not on a deeper level

It hurt less but it did…

The duration didn’t matter

What mattered was

Who touched inside

Who touched the pumping heart inside…

So many have touched 

  Over time, that

A concrete layer of dirt has made it numb…

Now,  meetings and partings

Don’t matter much they are mere occurrences

Happy for new ones

But the partings don’t create any tremor

I just wait for the next meetings

As,

Meetings & partings are a part of life….

कुछ है

कुछ है जिसे मैं समझ नहीं पा रहा हूँ,  

कभी कभी कुछ नहीं; फिर भी ये बेचैनी क्यूँ है

कभी कभी कुछ नहीं; फिर भी दिल इतना परेशान क्यूँ है

कभी कभी कुछ नहीं; फिर भी सिने में ये दर्द क्यूँ है...

क्या है जिसे में समझ नहीं पा रहा हूँ...

ना किसी का चेहरा

ना किसी के आने की उम्मीद

ना किसी से मिलने की उम्मीद

ना किसी की खुशी

ना किसी का गम...

तो,

क्यूँ मैं समझ नहीं पा रहा हूँ...

ना ये ग़ुरबत मुझे शर्मिंदा करती है

ना ही मेरी काबिलियत मुझे अहम देती है

ना खुबसुरती, ना बदसूरती मेरे लिए मायने रखती है

ना ही माननेवालों से, ना ही ना माननेवालों से मुझे कोई मतलब है

फिर वो कुछ क्या है जो मुझे बेचैन कर रहा है...

जब मुझे किसी चीज़ से कोई फर्क नहीं पड़ता

तो सिने में ये दर्द क्यूँ है..

कोई ना कोई उम्मीद जरुर मेरे अंदर घर बनाये है

सच है ये की मेरे अंदर उमीदों का अम्बर है

ऊपर ऊपर से सोच ना और महसूस करना

कितना आसान है ;

और बगैर उम्मीद होना कितना मुश्कल

कभी तो वो दिन आएगा जब

ना खुशी मुझे हँसाएगी, ना गम मुझे रुलाएगा...

जब वो दिन आये तब आये

हाय! पर आज ये दिल बड़ा बेक़रार है

और ना जाने क्या इससे सताए है.

कुछ है जो मैं समझ नहीं पा रहा हूँ...

जिंदगी

16/01/2012

तुम्हें क्या लगता है .... जिंदगी क्या है ?

सोचता हूँ तो समझ नहीं पाता,

ज़िंदगी क्या है... हर उम्र में इसके मायने बदले हैं मेरे लिए,

हर घड़ी इसका मतलब बदला है मेरे लिए.

हर सुबह नया कारण मिला है जीने के लिए .

किसी एक परिभाषा में नहीं समां सकती ज़िंदगी ;

इसके मायने एक से कभी नहीं रहते .

आज जो मेरे लिए ज़रुरी है

कल कोई अहमियत नहीं रखता .

ज़िंदगी को समझने की कोशिश करना

ज़िंदगी की बर्बादी है ...

जीवन को जीना और जो मेरे साथ हो रहा है उससे महसूस करना .

यही ज़िंदगी है .

ना ही इसका मतलब है

ना ही यह बेमतलब है .

यह ब्रह्माण्ड की तरह ही अपार है

ज़िंदगी सही भी है और गलत भी ...

ज़िंदगी काली भी ही और सफ़ेद भी .

ज़िंदगी प्यारी भी है ज़ालिम भी

ज़िंदगी उत्तेज़ना भी है संवेदना भी .

ज़िंदगी जीने में भी है मरने में भी.

हर वो चीज़ जो ज़िंदगी में है मुझ में भी है

ना मैं अच्छा हूँ ना मैं बुरा हूँ

मैं ब्रह्माण्ड का एक कण हूँ जो उसमें है वो मुझ में है.

ना ज्यादा है ना कम .

आज मुझे इतनी समझ है ज़िंदगी की ...

जो अपार है उससे समझ में बंधना समझदारी नहीं लगता मुझे.

जीता हूँ मस्ती में;

क्यूंकि जिंदा हूँ .

जब तक रहूँगा तब तक मस्त रहूँगा ;

जब नहीं रहूँगा तब क्या रहूँगा ...

where are you ?

It’s been long

It’s been a lifetime

The last time

I was with you

I can’t remember

I can’t feel your touch

My eyes can’t distinguish you from others

My nose can’t smell you…

Oh! How much I long

Long. For that simple touch

Oh! How much I long, for your sight, your smell, for you..

I waited long patiently,

But the clocks ticking…

Where are you?

I have not gone looking for you.

Only for the fear of taking someone else as you…

What this life is all about I fail to understand…

I am skeptical of losing you before finding

The fear is increasing

As I have already

Meet few of our disguises…

But I found out at the right moment and better sense prevailed in me…

I am thankful for that

Thankful to the bodies that organize life…

For giving me the hint timely.

Sometimes I wonder

What if; I never find you

Or I find you after I have someone else’s company

What would I do?

It would be tough and bad I know…

That’s why I am waiting…

Your company is necessary for me to gain more points in this human life!!!

And if I am lucky to have your side as always…

The time is not far when we will not have to appear in this test of life again and again..

And we will be one forever.

But for that

I require your assistance and you require mine…

So ,

Where are you

Now?

nervous

Nervous as hell;;;;

Why is that; the thing you care for more is the hardest to get makes you sweat the most

All  the other things that you don’t want comes to you easy.

But what you love makes you sweat like a pig…

Just like the girl you are in love with…

When it comes to her you become dead…

Your heart skips a beat…

It is because you care for her you love her…

Same is the case with the thing you want to do…

So keep breathing!!!

i'm weak

written long back...

I’m weak

I’m a slave

Inside a cage without a lock

I’m a human

I’ve a heart

I feel

I care

For good hearts, bad hearts , broken hearts, cunning hearts, shrewds hearts, selfish hearts….

I do feel

I do care

So am I

Inside a cage without a lock….

Just like sweet, cute beautiful birds are put in a cage locked at first….

That’s when the bird forgets it’s flight

The locks are thrown away…

By the bad hearts

Either the bird falls in love with the cage or the owner

May be the question

But the truth is

Somewhere deep inside

It knows it’s reason for life is the wings and its use is to fly…

Though forgotten for a while…

One day it’ll realize

And it will fly

So will I

From the cage where I am the prisoner for a while…
