Medekare revisited!

Ek machis ki dibiya mein mai.

Meelon bichey saapon par,

Sarakta sa, behta sa, chala jata tha,

Kuch masti mein, haathon se modi sadkein,

Parbat ke chehrey par muskurahat si rakhee thee,

Ek ek karkey oos ke panno ko hataya meiney,

Aur apney hi hathon se apna haath chudaya meiney,

Har koney har modh par bikhra sa who yauvan,

jaisey ghoonghat mein saji koi naye naveli shringaree dulhan,

Sharma rahe ho apney preetam ke intezar mein,

Un sunehri belon pe bandhee who teetar ki awaaz,

subah mere kano par dastak dekar jagaya usney mujhko,

Kehney laga, jao kho jao mere priyatam ke aalingan mein.

Phir se Kuch door tak chala tha mein unhee sadkon par,

Kuch harey se dooyein aur ek plastic ki botal ke saath.

Tu hi mera naam!

Kuch arz hai… kaheen bacha thoda karz hai,
Chukana hai karkey thoda thoda,
Janta hoon mein mera khud hona,
Aur hokar bhi na hona, ehsaas yeah khudgarz hai.

Kuch likhawati banawati baton se,
Kuch bantee simtee ahton se,
Ehsaas mein sarey pirota hoon,
Teri bandage mein banjarey sa mein khota hoon.

Hawaon mein ghultee se kushboo ki tarah,
Tera ehsaas mere maula,
mujhmein kaheen ghulta hai,
jadogar sa hai tu,
tera karishma gahde-ghade yoheen mujhpar khulta hai.

Kya gaoon teri tareef mein sadka?
Kya bataon rubaab teri had ka?
Tu allah hai, tu mula hai, tu Krishna, tu raam hai,
Hai tu nanak aur yesu bhi, unhee ke jaisa tu hi toh mera naam hai.

The ageless, aging lover....

Painted on the canvas,
Deep scared, violet lover,
Awaits his destiny,
Hiding beneath,
A doubted, voided cover.

Yet those smiles of ambiguity,
Render his face with an artificial happiness,
He scratches his soul,
Hard enough to scar the healing wounds.

He,
Who ought to find his self,
He,
Who needs to rediscover,
He,
Who awaits his destiny,
He,
The ageless, aging lover.

P.S- last few days i have seen a very close friend go through some turmoils that only i have been able to just scratch off the surface. He's begining to endure a quest. He's begining to unlearn, He's begining to learn again. This is my dedication to him. The ageless, aging lover! Chirag

meri fariyaad****

khuda mere mujhko kuch sila dey,
zarra hoon tera muujhko khud mein mila ley,
jooth hoon mein tera tu sach mujhko bana dey,
kadwaahat hoon teri, mithaas jaisa kuch bana dey.

terii saanson ko peeta hoon,
saaya hoon tera tujhmein hi jeeta hoon,
ghoont sa tu kuch mujhko bana dey,
suroor yeah sara tu mujhko pila dey.

bas baksh dey har uss baashindey ko,
jo niklaa hai tujhko mananey,
barkat kar apney sadkeyki,
mujhee se mujhko mila dey!
