Zindagi Kaisi Hai – Funny Poem

Jab koi mujhse puchta hai
Ke aur bata bhai, zindagi kaisi hai.

Main bas kehta, aise kahun toh zindagi sexy hai.
Par sach kahun toh aisa lagta zindagi ek khataari taxi hai.

Dost toh kayi hai jo khud ko mera jigri bataate hai.
Par asli dost toh wahi hai jisne lagaayi meri proxy hai.

Waise toh main dikhta kaafi serious kisam ka hoon.
Par agar jhaank ke dekhoge meri zindagi mein,
toh yahi kahoge ke iski life toh ek joke si hai.

Koi relevance nahi, koi kaam nahi,
Zindagi bilkul facebook ke feature poke si hi.

Mohabbat aur mera rishta bikul,
Tu tu main main ki nok jhonk si hai.

Zindagi ye saali meri bilkul,
Jaise ek bohot hi lame joke si hai.
Jaise ek bohot hi lame joke si hai.

Waited

You waited, but s/he never came back. Ykw sometimes people don’t come back & that’s okay, because they’re not supposed to be back.

Ghosts

I was told to write what would I do if I was a ghost, but am I not a ghost already? When you die, your soul leaves your body, and the ones who get stuck in this world, we call them ghosts. That’s what people believe, right? But what do we call people whose souls have been torn apart umpteen times, whose dreams have been crushed ever since they were a kid. Aren’t these people dead already, inside. Aren’t these people, ghosts too, Just like me?

Doomsday

If people will get time from hating each other over religion and language, and if they’ll actually start thinking about the things out there, the voidness out there, the fact that earth is like a dust particle out in the space and that you don’t even know what’s coming for us, they’ll finally be “woke” af. You never know when a big ass asteroid will come and wipe us all out like it wiped out the existence of dinosaurs. If you look at the sky at night, and think about these things you’ll get chills down your spine. But here we are, in this god forsaken world, where people kill each other in the name of religion, which doesn’t even matter, because when this world will end, and it will end someday, it won’t matter what religion you follow, what’s your skin color, white, black or brown. Nothing would matter because nothing would be left. We, humans, are like dust particles if compared to the size of earth, and earth is like a dust particle in our milky way, and milky way is like a dust particle, actually we can’t even guess size of milky way because space is infinite. If people actually start considering these facts, this world will become a happier place to live in. When I lie down and look at the stars at night, all I can think of is that how lucky we’re, that we’re all alive here, how lucky we’re that we live in a planet which is placed at perfect place amongst all the other planets, which makes it the best place where life forms and flourish, but then I also realize that we’ll be the doom of this world, humanity is it’s curse, because no one cares about the nature. We’re killing our nature, our water bodies, this world where we’re supposed to live and let our future generations live. I sometimes ponder, how is this world going to end? Will it be us or something from the outside? To get the answer, all we can do is wait. Till then, breathe, live and let others live peacefully.

Do not give up on yourself

This post is dedicated to everyone who is struggling with the weight they’ve put on and who do not feel good about themselves anymore. Here’s my message for y’all. You’re not alone. We will get through this, together. Just don’t give up yet. You can, and you will beat this and get back in shape again, if that’s not the motive, then you will become fit and healthy again, just don’t give up on yourself.

I have been struggling with my weight since last one year. I know, you might think “but he ain’t obese, he looks fine”, but I’m not. I’m opening up today, because today I realized that I was getting more depressed, day by day because I couldn’t look at myself in the mirror anymore, for it just reminded me how fit I used to be. My weight used to range between 55-60 till 2015. But then 2016 turned out to be a very depressive year, and since then I’ve not been the same. My current weight is 83. In medical terms, I’m almost obese, which my body is not accepting and I’ve been facing a lot of health issues because of that. I tried to get back in shape again, I failed at it. I tried again, I failed again. This cycle went on and on until finally I decided to give up. I was scared to hit the gym again because I was afraid I’ll fail again, and because of that I never went to the gym for almost 3 months, even after paying all the fees. I was afraid to fall. I am STILL afraid, to fall, but then I recalled some wise words of Alfred, which he told to Bruce when he almost gave up on everything, “why do we fall, sir? So that we can learn to pick ourselves up.” And today was the day to pick myself up again. I went to the gym today, I was still depressed when I entered the gym, thinking this wouldn’t change anything, I’m going to fail again. But then I started working out, and it all started to come back to me, the positivity. Once I was done, after a sweaty hour of work out, everything felt different, I felt positive. Now I realize, it was not about the weight I’ve put on, it was all about what I felt about myself. Now I know, that I can change this, that I CAN and I WILL be fit again. I don’t care about the physique, it’s all about staying fit and healthy.

What I want you to take from this is the positivity. It’s all about that ONE STEP which you are hesitating to take, because of the fear of failure. We all fail, and that’s how we learn, that’s how we grow. Don’t fear the failure. TAKE THAT ONE STEP, AND EVERYTHING WILL CHANGE. Trust me. You’re amazing, and I have faith in you. You can do anything you want. It’s just about your will power and that one step which you need to take.

Jhonka Hawa Ka

मेरे आँगन में
काफी पेड़ पौधे है।
हर दिवस मैं देखता हूँ
के कुछ पत्ते अपने
रंग को खो, सूख जाते है।

और वो सूखे पत्ते
उन हरे पत्तों की
खूबसूरती पर पर्दा
बन जाते है।

झोंका हवा का आता है,
और अपने साथ उन सूखे
पत्तों को उड़ा ले जाता है।

काश ऐसा ही कुछ हम
इंसानो के साथ भी होता।
वो बीते लम्हे जो हमारे
ज़िन्दगी में नशत के लमहो
को ठहरने ना देते है।

कोई हवा का झोंका आता
उन्हें भी अपने साथ ले जाता
तो शायद हम भी यूं अर्सो
महव-ए-यास ना रहते।

A message to politicians

Lafz diye tujhe us farishte ne
Toh istemaal kar uska yoon
Insaano mein mohabbat bikherne ka.

Nafrat ki aag kyun tu ugalta hai.
Tere alfaazo ke vajah se
Kyun insaan mazhab
ke naam par jalta hai.

Tere dimag ki upaj se
Is jahan mein ekta ka khawab
Ek khwaab hi reh jayega.

Jannat ki toh baat na karna,
Tere karmo se tu
toh yamshala hi payega.

Yaad rakh aye insaan,
Ye baat naa bhool.
Tu yahan khaali haath hi aaya tha.
Tu yahan se khaali haath hi jayega.

Waqt

Kuch kehna tha, aur ye
bojh e dil jo main Na Jane
Kabse banjaro ki tarah lekar phir raha hoon,
Usse zara halka karna tha.

Ke ek waqt tha,
jab teri palko pe aaye
har aansoon ko moti
samjh zameen par na
kabhi main girne deta tha.

Ke ek waqt tha,
Tere lafzon se nikle har alfaaz
Shehad se meethe lagte te,
jo mere in kaano me
din o raat,
goonjte rehte the.

Ke ek waqt tha,
Teri wo muskaan, aur wo haya,
mujhe dekh kar, ghayal sa kar deti
thi mujhe aur mere is dil ko.

Ke ek waqt tha,
Jab tere waaste is
duniya se lad sa jata tha.
Tere chehre par gar
gham ke saya bhi dikh jaye,
Toh kuch dar sa jata tha.
Anmol thi tu mere liye,
Tujhe mehfooz rakhne ke liye,
Kuch bhi kar sa jata tha.
Ke ek waqt tha,
Jab tere waaste is
duniya se lad sa jata tha.

Wo waqt kuch aur tha,
Ye waqt kuch aur hai. x2

Ab tere us soorat se mohabbat
nahi par beintehaan nafrat si ho gayi hai.
Kuch pyar baaki hai, aur shayad humesa rahega,
Par ab tere bina jeene ki aadat si ho gayi hai.
Tanha chhoda tune, uska gham nahi mujhe.
Gham toh hai is baat ka, ke is dil me,
mohabbat ke khilaaf tu ek beej is bo gayi hai.

Arre ja, tujhe kab roka tha Maine.
Ek bar bol kar to dekhti, par aise kyun
khud ko mujhse paraai si kar gayi.
Mujhe vafa e ishq ka paath padhaati thi.
Khud yoon aisi bewafai si kar gayi?

Bade shiddat se mobbat ki thi,
Par ab nafrat bhi dekh tu meri.
Aakhri saans tak, mudkar na
dekhunga main ab tujhe
Ab nafrat bhi tu dekh meri.

Mar gayi hai, jo mohabbat
mere dil me thi.
Aur uski qaatil tu hai.
Tere hath mere khoon se sane hai.
Dekh apne hathon ko,
Aur jee. Ye hi teri saza hai.
Par kabhi kisi aur ka dil yoon na todna,
Bas itni si meri ek aakhri raza hai.

Ke ek waqt tha,
Jab tere waaste is
duniya se lad sa jata tha.

Wo waqt kuch aur tha,
Ye waqt kuch aur hai.

Past

I wonder,
If you ever think of me.
Do you even remember my voice?
The way I used to be, around you?
Do you ever get that sense of euphoria,
thinking about OUR happy memories?
I wonder, if you even care,
that I’m even alive or not.

Like I always say,
It’s not the bad memories,
Which fucks you up from inside,
It’s the happy ones, because,
you know it’ll never happen again.

The moments we shared,
the happiness I felt, I know,
It’ll never come back to me.
I know I will never be able to
hold your hands again, ever.
I know, it’s all over now.
It’s been 6 years, after all.
The memories, it has started
to fade away, with time.
Your voice sounds like
a stranger to me now.
I know, it’s all over now.
It’s been 6 years, after all.

I’ve been carrying these dead
feelings for a long time now.
I guess the time has finally arrived.
The time to bury these memories,
these feelings, the agony and anguish,
which burns within this heart.

Today, I saw you with your love.
I saw, how happy you were,
Exactly like you used to be with me.
Whilst I was still struggling to
heal and mend this broken heart.
I believe, the time has come,
to end it, once and for all.

Finally,
I’m leaving my past,
where it belongs.

Duniya

Jal rahi hai duniya saari,
Jal rahi har aatma.
Dhal raha dhundla sooraj,
Kho gaya hai aasamaan.

Zindagi se maut khele,
Maut kiske hath ma.
Insaan hi insaan ka dusman,
Maut meri zaat ma.

Kaahe ki ye jhooti izzat,
Kaahe ka ye dhong hai.
Betiyon ko devi kehte,
Ye vaakya hi ek vyang.

Ruk ja insaan, dar ja insaan,
Tera waqt bhi aayega,
Tere karmo ke koo phal tu,
Is janam hi paayega.

Jal rahi hai duniya saari,
Jal rahi har aatma.
Dhal raha dhundla sooraj,
Kho gaya hai aasamaan.
