jhalak

Tujhe dekha aaj maine.
Kaafi waqt ke baad.

Ek jhalak mein
pehchan nahi
paaya tujhe.
Aisa din bhi aayega,
kabhi socha na tha.
Shayad sach mein ab
maine tujhe is dil se
nikaal phenka hai.

Waise,
kaafi sehmi si
thi aankhein teri,
Jhuki hui, nazre
churaati sabse.
Shayad mujhe dekh
teri aankhon ne tujhe,
teri bewafayi,
teri dagabaazi,
ki yaad dila di hogi.

Tujhe dekha aaj maine.
Kaafi waqt ke baad.

Past Present Future

You can never go back to what you were. I can never go back to what I was. Our experiences change us. We evolve mentally, physically and emotionally with time. You need to accept yourself the way you’re now. Don’t think of the past, the things which made you happy. It’s in the past. Those people, those things which used to make you happy, aren’t there anymore. So find happiness in the things, the people you have now. Let bygones be bygones. Focus of present, because your present will shape your future. Always remember this.

Hope

We don’t always get what we want, what we deserve. Not everyone is lucky. I’ve struggled a lot in my life, and I’m still struggling. I had dreams. Big ass dreams. Couldn’t fulfill all of it. Because that’s life. Sometimes we don’t get what we want, so we need to learn to find happiness in what we have. If we are destined to do something big in life, we will do it, when the time is right. There’s a phrase in Hindi, which we need to learn by heart and respect it, “waqt se pehle, aur naseeb se zada kisi ko kuch nahi milta”. I’m not trying to demotivate any of you here. I am just telling you to face the truth. And keep working hard, so that someday you will reach that point in your life where you can actually try to fulfill all your dreams and live your life the way you always wanted to live. Accept the reality, but never lose hope. Hope is what keeps the fire within us, alive.

Meri pyari maa.

Ek alag hi sukoon ka ehsaas hota hai.
Jab mere sar pe tumhara hath hota hai.
Jata hoon dur jab jab tumse,
Bagair aansuon ke mai rota hoon.
Muskura toh deti ho tum, par pata hai mujhe,
Haal tumhara bhi andar, kuch aisa hi hota hai.
Jannat hai pairon mein tumhare, aur,
Lafzo se nikli har baat tumhari hai dua.
Lad jaau is duniya se mai.
Gar koi keh de tumhe kuch.
O meri pyari pyari maa.
Mera abhimaan ho tum.
Meri pehchaan ho tum.
Mere is dil ki dhadkan.
Mera sara sansaar ho tum.
– Happy mother’s day.

Anger.

All these years, all this time,
This rage inside of you, this anger,
It has all accumulated, inside,
waiting to burst out, to bring destruction,
to bring the wrath, upon everyone.
This anger, you can use it either,
to bring destruction or use it,
to achieve everything in your life,
which you always desired,
which you always wanted.
All you need to do is, use it wisely.
Forge your anger and displace it,
to a place where it’ll help you,
help you to excel, succeed, win.
Anger, if used, in a proper way,
displaced to a proper place,
can help you find and explore,
a person, who was concealed inside,
a person, thriving for success,
who was, all this time, hidden inside you.
He can help you, to get what you want,
to become what you thrive to be.
To win this quest, to search this person,
you need to embrace this anger, and,
use it to solve this quest, to find where is he.
– Anger, if used properly, is the key.
