Kaise Kahoon

Kaise kahoon ki hume unse pyar hai,
Kaise kahoon;

Yeh Chaand, yeh gaggan, yeh sitarre,
Ab lagte nahi itne dulare,
unke saamne, phike padjate hain sab yeh saare;
Yeh khamoshi, yeh tanhayee aur bardast nahi hotee,
Yeh rooshwayi, ab humse dekhi nahi jatti;
Chaand kaha hota, to le aate,
Jaan manga hota, to de dete;
Magar yeh kaisee kismat humne payee,
Sirf kaante hi kaante mere naseeb mein ayee;
Ya khuda! dekhi teri khudayee,
Mere raaste mein sirf gum hi tunne bichayee.
Sirf Woh hi Woh hai, mere har pal mein,
Sirf ek hi naam dhadkta hai, mere seene mein;
Unki ahaat ka hamme intazar rahega,
Unki chaahat ka hamme intazar rahega,
Ish janam mein na sahi,
Agle janam mein,
jaroor humpe unko pyar ayega.

Amen

A Dream

I dreamed of her,
When I was wide awake;
I dreamed of her,
When I was lying on my deck;
A gust of wind blew me over,
As if, she had caressed me and
left goose-flesh all over.
I hear the distant call of my
adorable darling,
As if she is calling my name
in the alpine bearing.
She comes to my dream like
an angel with a light,
And leaves as silently as she had come
giving me some hope and delight.
Could ever she be mine?
That’s what I contemplate
While I dine.
She is as beautiful as a hoor,

Can easily tame any boor.
Her eyes have docile me,
Her sexy eyes have always
butchered me;
She makes me see stars in the noon,
As if I am born with a boon.
She is all over as I gape
Giving me an
Eventual headache.

Only a friend

Friend, this is a term that we all are accustomed with. Man being a social animal needs company. But it is essential that the friend should be of same sex. Man cannot have an attractive friend who happens to come from a father’s X chromosome. Quoting from When Harry Met Sally, “No man can ever be friends with a woman that he finds attractive. He always wants to have sex with her”. Though this statement is very contentious but this is the raw truth. So it not surprising that most of us have best friend who luckily happens to come from the same contour group. But does the meaning of friend get contained to this only? The answer is a certain no. So my earlier analogy comes out to be wrong. The term friend can be diverse in itself. A dog can be a friend too. Even it is termed to be the most faithful one. To speak of the reality we all have some very good friends, some good friends and some friends and at last not so good friends. So this is a big classification. And many a times we feel proud enough to list this long/short list and exhibit it proudly.
Many a times we get obsessed with some of the many friends of our list. Some time it ends with big displeasure. So over expectations bring the disaster. I am not trying to conclude anything neither am I suggesting any thing relevant to take up. But the fact also is that books can be friends too. So why not try to befriend them. I have already been unsuccessful in this endeavor of mine for the only reason that I am not good enough at making friends. Attitude is the important term to remember. Thinking books to be lifeless was my greatest mistake. It lives the way as I do. So there is nothing more to elaborate on. For all the readers it is bye from me.
