ग़म में डूबे खुदी को
अब ग़म ही नज़र नहीं आता
तुम्हारे होने न होने का
अब निशाँ नज़र नहीं आता

शिद्दत से तुम्हे भूलाने का
वक़्त नज़र नहीं आता
और वक़्त आ  भी जाए
तोह लम्हा नज़र नहीं आता

अपने आप से तुम्हारी बातें किया करते थे
अब वोह जूनून नज़र नहीं आता
तुम्हारे नाम पे झूम उठा करते थे
अब वोह सुकून नज़र नहीं आता

तुम्हारे अधूरे सपनों का
लाल रंग नज़र नहीं आता
जिस चाहत से रंगा था ज़िन्दगी को
खुद ही में चिप्पा वोह रंगरेज़ नज़र नहीं आता

बेवजह फूलों को चूमने का
फितूर नज़र नहीं आता
जहान को महकाने वाला
अब वोह इत्तर  नज़र नहीं आता

दिवाली के दिए  सा रोशन
वोह इश्क़ नज़र नहीं आता
अब चाहे किसी भी आसमान में ढूंढे
ईद का चाँद नज़र नहीं आता

एक और रंजिश ही सही कहते  हैं
पर तुम्हारा ज़िक्र  नज़र नहीं आता
फिर भी तुम्हरी मोहब्बत से निकलने का
अब कोई फ़िक्र नज़र नहीं आता

Zindagi Migzara.

As I dimmed the lights of my room last night, Singapore's hot and humid air changed to a gush of strong cold wind. The curtains fluttered and made my ddlj cow bells ring. I turned and stared at them for a long time.  I readjusted the laptop on my bed and plonked myself against two big pillows. My eyes closed themselves. There was a silence that was neither deafening nor lonely. It was just what silence is meant to be.... silent. And my curtains moved again, moving the bells with them. The bells took me back to Shahrukh and his movies. I opened my eyes and looked at those bells for a long long time. My mom had picked them up from Switzerland for me. I thought of her and teared up. I wanted her now. I wanted her touch. It was 10pm at home in India and at this time, after dinner and closing the kitchen, my mother, takes a shower. She comes out of the bathroom, and brings with her a waft of her talcum powder and her body lotion. That fragrance can make you forget all your worries...

Heer and Sahiba

हीर हीर ना आँखा उडियो मैं ते साहिबा होई घोड़ी लेके आवे ले जाए घोड़ी लेके आवे ले जाए ओ मेनू , ले जाए मिर्ज़ा कोई ले जाए मिर्ज़ा कोई ले जाए मिर्ज़ा कोई -Gulzar -- Jab Tak Hain Jaan I love this song from Jab Tak Hain Jaan. While its difficult to capture the essence of the song in words, I'll try to. In Indian/Punjabi folklore, there are two very famous love stories : Sahiba - Mirza and Heer - Ranjha. In both tales, the lovers dont live happily ever after. In the second story, heer and ranjha never get together,  heer's brothers taking the couple's  love as an insult to the family's reputation kill him. In the first tale of Sahiba and Mirza, Mirza comes on a horse and takes Sahiba away, for a life together. But their journey is interrupted by Sahiba's brothers, who kill Mirza, thus ending the love story. In the song, a lady sings and says - don't call me Heer, I'm wish my destiny is like that of Sahiba's, i aeait a Mirza, who'l...

Zindagi Migzara.

Har ghadi badal rahi hai roop zindagi Chhaaon hai kabhi kabhi hai dhoop zindagi ~~Javed Akhtar, Kal ho Na Ho This is a post I will HAVE to name after my blog, simply because no other phrase can capture the true meaning of what I will try my best to express in words in this one. It all started on the Third Floor balcony of Omega, Hyderabad. And the best part is the fact that we didn't even know that we had started something new. We went through months of dilemma and denial while deep down both of us just knew. As a very dear friend puts it we had the 'connection' , but we were yet to discover it. Days, Nights, and months went by, before we realized. In fact more than 'realization', we accepted that we meant a lot more to each other. Today when people ask me for a time,date and place and what, where, how, when. I am clueless. Because it was not love at first sight, it was even more beautiful than that. A friendship that both of us treasured to th...
