Never Lose Hope

You’ll fall. You’re supposed to fall. That is inevitable. ‘Sometimes’ you have people around you, who will help you, to get up, but mostly this is not the case. You fall down. You’re hurt. You feel like giving up. But that’s what life is all about. So get used to it. Get used to of falling down and getting hurt. Because that’s how we learn and evolve. And then, you pick yourself up. You guide yourself. You LEARN from your mistakes. Always remember this, “the people you expect to be around, will not always be around, so you need to trust only one person, and that one person is YOU”. When it’s dark, you light your way and guide yourself home. People are temporary. YOU are constant, in your life. Trust yourself. Believe in yourself. No matter how hard it gets, never lose hope.

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.

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.

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.

Fading Away

I can see you fading away,
like the dimming flame of
that candle, which has reached
its bottom and is now going to
submit itself to the darkness.

I can see you fading away,
like the memory of that
old rusted, broken car,
which I once saw on
the highway, abandoned.

I can see you fading away,
like my zest for playing guitar,
which is kept at the corner
of my room, which sometimes
peeps and tries to remind me
of its existence, which I tend
to ignore most of the time,
because, time is what, I have not.

I can see you fading away,
but I’m trying hard not to
let go of you, for you’re
the pillar of my existence.
Poetry, my zest for writing,
I can see you,
fading away,
from me.

Survivor

I am standing at this side of the isle,
And I can see you, going away.
There’s nothing I can do, to stop you.
It’d would be something similar to
Me trying to not let the sand, in my fist, fall down.
See, here’s the thing, even if I try, I know,
It, the sand, is going to vanish in some time.

I don’t know, how to react.
I don’t know, how to enact.
I won’t be fine, well,
that I know, for the fact.
But how good I am
at burying my feelings,
deep inside my chest, alive.
Only I, know that.

But you know what,
I am exhausted now.
I’m tired of putting
that mask, on my face.
That mask of “I’m okay”.
Masquerading,
that I’m strong.
Whilst I’m not.

Consumed by the dark, I am.
Broken inside, yet alive, I am.
Maybe beyond fixing, aloof, I am.

But worry not, about me.
Alone, I might be,
But lonely,
I am not.

I know,
how strong,
I am.
However
my life is,
here’s
the thing,
Alive,
I am.

Maanjhi

Ek naav si hi hoti hai ye zindagi.
Jis disha me le jana chaaho,
Us disha mein hi ye jayegi.
Toofan aane par ladkhadayegi,
Par thik se sambhaalo toh
Sambhal bhi jayegi.
Ek naav si hi hoti hai ye zindagi.

Aapne dusron ki kashti ko
doobte zarur dekha hoga.
Par unki kashti doobi kyunki
Wo usse sambhaal na paaye.
Aur us nazaare ke dar se
Agar aap is vishal samandar
Ki sair ko na nikle,
toh manjhi kaise kehlaoge?

Darr sabko lagta hai,
par dar se darkar agar
Aap pehle hi haar maan loge,
Toh ye zindagi kaise jiyoge?

Ye zindagi tujhe girayegi,
Is zindagi ka dastur yahi hai.
Par gir kar ruk jana,
Ye tera dastur nahi hai.

Uth, badh, par ghabra kar na ruk.
Nikaal kashti aur bhid un lehron se.
Takra, ladkhada, par haar na maan,
Aur jeet kar aa.

Ek naav si hi hoti hai ye zindagi.
Jis disha me le jana chaaho,
Us disha mein hi ye jayegi.

Patthar Dil Insaan

Agar tab hum nadaan na hote.
Agar tab zindagi me aaye
wo toofan na hote.
Agar tab sath wo kuch
galat insaan na hote.
Nazarandaaz na kar paye jise,
Hue waise kuch apmaan na hote.
Toh shayad aaj hum logo
Ki nazron me yoon patthar dil
Insaan na hote.

Agar hume na mile hote wo dhoke.
kiye te Kasme vaade ke rahenge
Hum sath humesa, ek hoke.
Par ant me hua wahi na,
Ke hume akele sab sehna pada,
Kabhi hass ke, toh kabhi ro ke.

Ishq ki baat nahi kar raha hoon.

Pyar ka matlab sirf ishq nahi hota hai.
Pyar ke toh Anek prakaar ke hote hai.

Koi behen bankar,
Toh koi bhai bankar,
Koi dost bankar,
Koi mehboob bankar pyar deta.

Par jab in rishto ki dor toot jati hai na.
Toh is gham ko baant ne wala
Sath mein, Koi na rehta.

Shayad isliye log patthar dil ban jate hai.
Galti unki nahi, wo toh bas, apne aap ko
Us taklif ke samandar se bachaate hai.
Us taklif ke samandar se bachaate hai.

Aur ant me baat wahi pe aati hai.
Agar tab hum nadaan na hote.
Agar tab zindagi me aaye
wo toofan na hote.
Agar tab sath wo kuch
galat insaan na hote.
Nazarandaaz na kar paye jise,
Hue waise kuch apmaan na hote.
Toh shayad aaj hum logo
Ki nazron me yoon patthar dil
Insaan na hote.

Barely Alive

Today I saw a man dying.
After he was gone,
I saw him and his eyes.
They were looking at me,
open wide.
My eyes, too, are open.
But I’m dead inside.

That’s the difference.
He’s actually dead, and,
I’m barely alive.
