Happiness

Stop trying to seek happiness.
Stop being so hard on yourself.
When you’re sad, be sad.
Don’t force yourself to be happy.
Your sadness will eventually subside.
And you will start smiling again.

Always remember this.
You don’t find happiness.
Happiness finds you.

अगर चाय ना होता तो क्या होता?

अगर चाय ना होता तो क्या होता?
ये भी नही बोल सकता मैं,
के वही होता जो मंज़ूर ए खुदा होता।
क्यूंकि चाय ना होने का इल्जाम
भी अगर खुदा के ऊपर ही डाल दूं,
तो बात कुछ ऐसी हो जाती के
आफिस के वक़्त डेस्क पर अपने
मैं भरी दोपहरी सो रहा होता।
अगर चाय ना होता तो क्या होता?

चाय बिना ज़िन्दगी अधूरी होती।
आधी दुनिया बेवक़्त हर जगह सो रही होती।
फिर सैलरी से सोने के नाम जो
फाइन काटा होता कंपनी ने,
उस बात को लेकर किसी कोने
में जाकर ये जनता रो रही होती।
और आधी आबादी इस दुनिया की,
सरदर्द के burden को अपने
unused भेजे में रख,
उसे हर जगह ढो रही होती।
बिना चाय के ये ज़िन्दगी
अपना मिठास खो रही होती।

अगर चाय ना होता, तो क्या होता?
Actually ना, fuck it.
मैं क्युं ना उसपर Topic divert करुं?
सब तो उसी के नाम पर बकवास करते है।

अगर चाय ना होता तो क्या होता?
अगर चाय ना होता तो क्या होता?
अरे भैया वही होता,
जो मंज़ूर ए खुदा होता।

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.

Smile

Don’t you dare, let anyone,
take that smile away from you.
No matter how broke you are.
No matter how lonely you feel.
No matter how gloomy life becomes.
Don’t lose that smile.
Don’t you dare, lose it.

When the darkness will consume,
you, your life and your heart.
When your mind will be foreshadowed
by thoughts sick and grim.

That smile, will act as your
Knight in the shining armour.
Because, when nothing in
your life will make sense,
and you’ll feel there’s no
point staying here, in this
world filled with humans
whose hearts are so
corrupt that even the devil
would think twice before
making a deal with them.

Your smile, it will remind,
you and the people around,
that one should never give up,
because of the people around,
because they don’t even matter.

What matters, in the end,
is you, and your happiness.

Don’t you dare, let anyone,
take that smile away from you.
Smile, even in your darkest times.
Because your smile might give,
someone else the strength to fight.

O Captain! My Captain!

O Captain! My Captain! our fearful trip is done;
The ship has weather’d every rack, the prize we sought is won;
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring:
But O heart! heart! heart!O the bleeding drops of red,Where on the deck my Captain lies,Fallen cold and dead.
O Captain! My Captain! rise up and hear the bells;
Rise up—for you the flag is flung—for you the bugle trills;
For you bouquets and ribbon’d wreaths—for you the shores a-crowding;
For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning;
Here captain! dear father!This arm beneath your head;It is some dream that on the deck,You’ve fallen cold and dead.
My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still;
My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will;
The ship is anchor’d safe and sound, its voyage closed and done;
From fearful trip, the victor ship, comes in with object won;
Exult, O shores, and ring, O bells!But I, with mournful tread,Walk the deck my captain lies,Fallen cold and dead.

-Walt Whitman.

Rakshabandhan.

A bond so strong,
It can never be shaken.
Our love and trust, for each other,
Away, it can never be taken.
Always looking after me,
Even when you’re not around.
Always cheering me up,
When I do something new,
No matter if I’m good or bad at it.
You’re always there for me, my guide.
And your head is always held high,
Held high with pride.

Peace.

Happiness and Peace comes from within.
It’s all in there, you just need to find it.
You shall achieve what you yearn for,
All you need to do is believe in thyself.

Raakh.

Wo aag ab sulagti nahi. Raakh jaisa bhi kuch bacha nahi shayad. Raakh jaisa jo bacha ta. Le gaya hawa use apne sath uda kar. Har dard har yaad ko mita dala us hawe ke jhonke ne. Ab ek nayi shuruwat ki oor kadam badhana hai. Tu aur mai liye hatho me hath. Bas ab hume ye ek sath nibhana hai.
