My poem

Often doesn’t belong to me

?

It captures lives, sentiments

It captures immensity

From out side world

And tries to juggle with

Simple meanings of complex words

?

My poem

Often moves swiftly

?

It blooms all around purple, yellow

Sometimes red, pink too

But, when it shifts to black or blue

I find it all alone

With few words dead and gone

?

My poem

Often reduce intensity

?

With its own

It stops gazing at starts..Moon and U

It stops feeling brightness

And picks all reduced ?hue

?

My poem

Often notice ur absence

?

Though earth spins, sun and moon rise/set

In its own way and time

Hopes and dreams of my new journey

Riding each word it climbs

?

Not my eyes

But

?

My poem

Often cries

?

With loads of clouds of sadness

Still it can show a clear sky

The best thing, pages doesn’t soak it

And always leaves it dry

?

My poem

Always remember

?

Whispers

Lips against my ear

Ur eyelids make sketches

Over my face.. very near

And fever!!!

?

My poem

Still feel

?

That fever of togetherness

When it turns pale ..pink ..and ..

Luminous indeed

And

Often reveals that temperature

Where random and unsymmetrical words

Melt

?

My poem often stops

Where,

?

There it sees a new beginning

See… it has stood still,

Doesn’t want to move a bit

Though words ready to flow with glee

But my poem

JIDDI just like me

?

Padna tumhara

Sab andar ke panne

Ghahrai se

Aur jan jana

Har viraam ka matlab chaturai se

Hum dekh pate hai bas

Bahar ka aavran

Ek chup !bas sharmai si..

Kya hai andar pannon mai

Kaise puchhe ?

Adb se hai ye bewfai si..

Ki rukna ..jhukna ...aur viram

ek kahani hai es kitab mai jhulsayi si...

~~*~~

~~*~~

Koi mit ta hai

teri har khawaish pe..

Tut ta hai tara banke

Har farmaish pe..

Aajmata hai? fir bhi tu

ki kitna hai junoon baki..

Parakhta hai har ghadi

jyu hum khade ho numaish pe..

Ab meri dastan mai teri furkat ki kasak, kuchh kam hai

Jaise pahle tha tere gam ka asar, kuchh kam hai

Bheechh hi jayegi najar, aapki dar se dar tak

Jaise pahle tha mere dil ko bharam ,kuchh kam hai

Ek wo pal tha ,tera tasavvoor bhi gajab dhata tha

Jasie pahle thi mere lab pe laraz, kuchh kam hai

Khone ki lazzat ko paane, aur khud ko satane ka shauk

Jaise pahle tha dil khud pe beraham ,khuchh kam hai

Uddhava, the apprentice of Krishna, one day expressed his dis-satisfaction to Krishna that in-spite of studying all Veda’s and Upnishad’s and other ancient texts, he still was not recipient of the title “Maha-Rishi”, meaning the great sage.

Krishna sensed the ego and pride of Uddhava. The next day Krishna asked asked Uddhava to visit Vrindavan, where Krishna’s soul mate Radha resided, and to give her a message. To this, Uddhava gladly agreed.Uddhava asked about the message and Krishna said he had none.

Uddhava was surprised. He sat in chariot and started on his way, but he could not help wonder what would be Radha’s reaction. So just before he entered Vrindavan, he got a parch-paper and wrote a ?message himself to Radha and forged to look like it came from Krishna.

On reaching Radha's home he gave that paper to Radha,For a moment Radha stared at the parch-paper and then she started laughing hysterically. Uddhava was confused. She said the message Krishna wrote was funny. Uddhava pretended surprise and asked what was the message.

“The message says Uddhava’s study is still not complete.” replied Radha.

On listening this, Uddava was shocked.‘How could she have known this?’ he wondered.

Radha calmed him down.

“I love Krishna and trust Krishna in ways beyond you can imagine.” She said “We are two bodies but same soul. There is nothing to be said in between us. We have walked the path of trust, love, devotion and sacrifices for so long that there are no boundaries in my being and his.? He does not need to send me messages. He is my message. He is my love letter from the universe.”

He spent the whole day at her house. She just talked about life in layman’s terms of love and truth. But Uddhava found answers to his most profound questions in philosophies he learned all this life.

“How did you get so much knowledge staying in this village and living life doing chores?” He asked.

“Each moment makes you take sides. If you always take side of truth and love, you will gain insights. Each insight awakens you from the illusion and takes you a step closer to the supreme awakening.”

“How can you be in Love with Krishna and still remain free from bonds of life ?”

“There is distinction between the love that results from insecurity and the love that results from faith. The former results in bonds. The later results in freedom. The former gets lost, the later transcends. The former leads to fear of death and abandonment. The later leads to realization that Radha and Krishna are just ripples and love is like the water.”

“How can you get awakened without leaving the society and becoming a monk?”

“Where a man reaches by renouncing the world, a woman reaches by embracing the world in its wholeness.” Said Radha.

“What is meaning of life?”

“Your ability to give it any meaning, is the meaning of life.” Ansewred Radha.

Radha’s answers turned all of Uddhavas learning upside down and inside out . Thus Uddhava’s mind surrendered and fell silent. He suddenly felt a deep sense of peace and quiet like never before.

On his way back to Dwaraka, Uddhava sensed a big change within him.? Krishna sensed the change too.Krishna smiled and said “So let’s talk about your title Maha-rishi.”“I am not so much interested in it.” Replied Uddhava and bent to touch Krishna’s feet.

Krishna rose from his throne. He hold on to Uddhava’s shoulders and smiled at him.

Thandi hawayen

Nam raat

Halke-halke chhitre tare ,do-char

Aur, dooj ka chand

Dhudhiya, gulabi libas

Mahkte ahsas

Jaise jasmine khile ho

aas pass

sheeshe mai dekhu

khuchh badal se gaye hai halat

khud se muhabbat ka

bahut hasin hai ahsas!!

Kuch iss tarah teri palkein mere palkoun se mila de
Ansoun tere, saare, mere palkoun phe sajade
Kuch is tarah teri palkein mere palkoun se mila de
Ansoun tere, saare, mere palkoun phe sajade?

Tu har ghari , har waqt, mere saath raha hai
Haan yeh jism, khabhi dur, khabhi paas raha hai
Jo bhi ghum hain yeh tere unhein tu mera pata de

Kuch is tarah teri palkein meri palkoun se mila de
Ansoun se teri saare mere palkoun phe sajade

Mujhko tau tere chehre phe yeh ghum nahin jajta
Jayiz nahin lagta mujhe ghum se tera rishta
Sun meri guzarish isse chehre se hatade
Sun meri guzarish isse chehre se hatade

Kuch is tarah teri palkein meri palkoun se mila de
Ansoun tere saare meri palkoun phe sajade
Kuch is tarah teri palkein meri palkoun se mila de
