Essential for Tough Days

Do not be harsh on yourself and wander with crestfallen face;

Questioning the fate ,"Why it always happens with me?" 

"Why do I get to stand in front of the closed gates?"

Do not agonize about getting late; 

Late in attaining and living a happy state

My beloved, 

When in desolation; 

you find yourself wondering about the next station, 

just speak to yourself the words of information- 

'Universe got tired of serving you,

thus and so, has taken an off from your fate. 

In isolation and relaxed state ,

it is navigating for your progress the best possible aid.'

Feelings

Steps went back at a snail's pace,

Eyes got misplaced after a loving gaze,

Hands that held unshared,
lurched towards the mundane,

Mind bounced off when the ears got swayed;

Wondering what yielded this?

It was the feeling that starved and got no aid. 

I value Springtime

I don't wish to see people going to their last resting place in agony, 

I don't wish to express grief in traditionally used short epitaph "RIP",

I don't wish to enthrone the one after the demise,

I don't wish to chant the good about them after they are hard of hearing;

I value springtime, 

to such a degree I wish to celebrate existence,warm fellowship and drive to the passage of peace.

If you decide to come back

Come back only when you have the confidence 

that no one has the power to break you..

Come back only when you wish to save yourself from all the hurt, pain, misery 

and not because you don't want to see others suffering..

Come back only when you are comfortable with remaking yourself..

Come back only when you wish to live life at the fullest despite all unasked arrivals..

And when you choose to come back , 

make sure you introduce your new self to the old one..

Let the introduction be the source of information about your choices of living life. 

Times When

Times When

There are times when 

you give up on hopes, 

toe off your shoes and flex the feet;

lay in bed with head full of steam, 

struggling to sleep, strenuous to speak while

sensing heaviness reaching it's peak;

hysterically rejecting to feel, 

yearning to yell, 

'Subscription to heaven ends, 

kindly go to hell!'

अजीब है सब कुछ आज

बातें तेरे आने की

मैं अक्सर औरो से तेरी बातें करती हूँ 

कभी मायूसी ओढ़ के तो कभी खुशी से 

तेरा आना , काली सटीक दीवार पर 

सफ़ेद सुन्दर चित्र बनाकर चले जाना 

तेरा आना , घंटो एक कमरे मे बैठकर 

नई नई कहानियां बनाना 

तेरा आना और रात भर अपने होने का शोर मचाना 

तेरा आना मुझे उकसाना 

मैं अक्सर औरो से तेरे आने की बातें करती हूँ 

कभी मायूसी ओढ़ के तो कभी खुशी से 

तेरे आने की वजह मेरी समझ से बाहर 

तेरा आना , सुनहरे रंग दिखाना 

और फिर , चले जाना 

एक सवेरे तेरे आने का सुकून तो 

दूसरे तेरे जाने का पीर 

मैं अक्सर औरो से सिर्फ तेरे आने की ही बातें करती हूँ 

कभी मायूसी ओढ़ के तो कभी ख़ुशी से

अब तेरे आने और जाने का सिलसिला नहीं चाहिए 

एहसास हो तेरे होने का 

ऐसा हर लम्हा चाहिए 

मुझे तेरी हकीकत का सुनहरा समां चाहिए ꘡
