Live

 Live

We all live but we all complain,

we all wonder but we merely suffer.


In this ruling less world we still are trapped inside us,

in this world of freedom,

we still haven’t left the cage of our zone.


We all are afraid,

we all are scared,

not for one but for our last breath.


Life is short, indeed,

but not complicated as it seems.


Counting days and nights,

thriving hard to make

everything perfect,

little do we know, the beauty of imperfection

is the true essence of life 

we have been living all along.


Sooner or later, this all will be a theory,

while we attain the utmost freedom in our sleep, eternally.


The end has begun may be not,

the end is close maybe not,

however to live what we have not,

the hourglass can be reversed.


For a moment, open your arms

 and let the breeze pass through your soul,

the time will go still,  for once

if ‘we’ are the reason for what we live.  

                                      - Insha

Wo chaar deewar

 Wo chaar deewar  

Chaar diwaro ke andar hua mera janam,

Char diwaro ke andar sikha mene chalna,

Din se hafte, hafto se mahine, mahino se saal,

Bitate bitate khud ko sambhala hai mene inn char diwaro ke andar.


Khud ke khayalo ko, khud ke soch ko,

Ubhara hai mene

Inn Chaar diwaro ke andar.


Kehete hai zindagi jine ke liye

hume is duniya ke soch se chalna zaruri hai

Par iss duniya ki rit se alag

Iss duniya ke bhaw se alag,


Khud ko sawara hai mene

Inn chaar diwaro ke anadar.

Little by little

 Little by little 

The thought of separation despised me,

the distance between the two horrified me,

the ignorance, the wait, tortured me.



Little by little, feelings were turned into fragments of flowers,

with the wind in the open garden, they flew for another hour.



Little by little, the memories flashed and the fountain of tears were once again

a pool of fears.


The degree of separation was never a reason

but lack of faith was always a treason.
 

The days have passed yet the box is empty,

maybe for once a quill will be handy.


Not for a moment but for years,

the stain of ink will remind me of you.


A poem.

Ek kahani

Ek kahani  

Ek kahani likhi hai
kabhi milo toh sunaungi tab.

Khud se dur karne ki koshish me
Bhul chuki ho khud ko hi,
Pal bhaar me hi paraya
Kar chuki hu khud ko hi.

Kisi se kaha toh nhi
Par jab kaha,
Kho chuki hu khud ko hi.

Ab na intezaar tumhare wado ka
Raha,
Na tasali tumhare aane ki rahi,
Ab wakt hai unn lamho ko
Bhulane ka,
Jisme tumhari yaade judhi rahi.

Dil todhna mujhe aata nhi,
Par
Ghila hai har wo cheez ka
Jo tumne mujhe bataya nhi.

Aawara si hu ab, pal bhaar me nadaan se hu ab,
Wakt bitega jab tum jesa koi, dubara se ek kahani sikha jaega.

Ek kahai likhi hai
kabhi milo toh sunaungi tab.
