Yeh yaadein bhulaaoon kaise.............

Ek aur din zindagi mein,
jud gaya yaa kam hua
ek aur din zindagi mein,
beet gaya ya ganva diya
har guzre lamhe ki keemat
koi bataye lagaoon kaise
jin yaadon se hai hasti meri...
woh yaadein bhala bhulaoon kaise.....

Jis aarzoo ki bandish mein,
armano ko sajaya tha,
usee tamanna ko fir maine,
dil mere dafnaya tha,
zakhm mit gaye hain lekin
yeh dard bhala mitaoon kaise
yeh yadein bhulaoon kaise?

jab hosh nahin tha duniya ka,
begaane apne lagte the,
hosh sambhala to dekha
apne anjaane lagte hain,
na-samajh mein duniya na samjha
yeh duniya ko samjhaaoon kaise....
yeh yaadein bhulaaoon kaise?

bachpan ke aasoo-on ki
nami aankhon se gayee naheen hai,
adhoore khwaab aur khwahishon ka
ehsaas zahan mein kahin hai
jo vaade kiye the khud se,
woh vaade nibhaaoon kaise...
yeh yaadein bhulaaoon kaise?

beete waqt ki dhundhli tasveerein,
kismat ki kaisi ajab lakeerein
ginti ki hai saansein lekin
har saans mein zindagi bitaoon kaise
ankahi baatein hain jo dil mein
woh ab bhala bataoon kaise....
yeh yaadein bhulaaoon kaise?

Absolute Destination

All my coveted dreams

are driven through by the solicitation
that in the viciously arduous drift of the realm
I could initiate my own undulation

Sacred is my conviction
Herculean the determination
to achieve the unachievable
is my only aspiration
And relish the apprehension
of distinct existence
suddenly appears to be my ambition

But as all staunching pledges
sound like fake jubilation
yet I m proved, adolescent to conceive
What is my absolute destination?

Between

Entangled in the web,
of certain uncertainties
I live in a matrix ;
between truth and illusion

I chased the mirage of success
but it was failure that followed me,
Standing at a point of no retreat
I m lost between victory and defeat

Yesterday lingers forever
and tomorrow seems within my grasp
I roll, on the wheel of time
between the future and the past

A lonesome heart craves for love
but there is a hunger for flesh; irresistible
I m in a constant chaos
stuck between body and soul

As air burns in my chest
and blood rushes through my veins
I continue to live
in between.......
