Meri Aarzoo

There is this girl Who calls me up, When she needs someone to talk to, Then ask me, how much I know her, To tell her this, I don’t have a number. Down the memory lane of silly things, Together we take a walk. Just to ask one another, ‘ Did I hurt you?’ After every small talk. She listens to my silly poems, Like none has done, Jokingly she says ‘I obliged you’, But, I know she’ll still be next to me, When there is none. She teases me with some girl, And drives me insane, I begin to shout at her, I give her sadness and gift of pain. Why I always hurt the person, Whom I never want to be sad. She still would be with me, At all times, good or bad. She calls me Mister YES, I can’t even agree now, Cos that would mean, Again a Yes. The truth is NO is the last thing, I want to say to her. I want to tell her so much, Every moment is memorable. When she is with me, I love being with her, Cos with her I am just ME

Kya main jaano kya jeevan hai, Ek paheli, ek uljhan hai Koi mujhse puche jeevan kya, Main nishabd ho jaata. Kya main bolon main kya chahoon , Mann ki ichaon ko kaise batlaun, Koi mujhse puche meri chahat, Main nishabd ho jaata. Prem main tanman nyonchavar kar, Milli kya mujhe meri priyatama, Mujhse puche mera dil jab, Main nishabd ho jaata. Jab bhi antarman ki vyakulta, Maine jag ko batlana chahi Kanth mere roke shabdoon ko Main nishabd ho jaata.

Jab se tumko dekha hai, Main khoya khoya sa rehta hoon. Raat ho ya din, Bus tumhare khayaloon main khoya rehta hoon. Jab se tumko dekha hai, Main khoya khoya sa rehta hoon. Jab se tumko dekha hai, Har phool har kali main bus tum hi tum nazar aati ho, In phollon ko niharne ke liye main ghantoon chaman main baitha rehta hoon. Jab se tumko dekha hai, Main khoya khoya sa rehta hoon. Jab se tumko dekha hai, Ek darr sab hi dil main samaya hai, Ki kahin tumse bichad na jaon. Us judai ke bare main soch soch kar, Main man hi man main roya karta hoon. Jab se tumko dekha hai, Main khoya khoya sa rehta hoon.

  Main duur chal hoon tujhse, Par har pal dil ke paas hai tu. Mere dil-o-dimaag pe chaya. Woh pyaar bhara ehsaas hai tu. Tere bina yeh zindagi suni hai, meri har ghazal ka zajbaat hai tu. Jisse samjh paane ki khwahish hai meri Har pal Bechain karta woh raaz hai tu. Tujhe bhula pana to mumkin hi nahi, Jeevan se bhari woh saans hai tu. Mere dil main kabhi jhaank kar dekh, Uske har kone main basi Chaht-e–khaas hai tu.

Yeh jeevan hai kya ek kavi ki abhivyakti!!!! Shanth van main koyal ki koo koo, Jharne se girte paani ki kal kal, Yeh van ka swach nirmal jeevan hai kya, Ek kavi ki abhivyakti!! Madhushala main saaki baala pila rahi sabko hala, Madmast jhoom raaha hai har peene wala, Yeh madhu ki maadakta, yeh madhushala hai kya, Ek kavi ki abhivyakti!! Laga mastak par tilak chala veer rannbhumi ko, Karne apni maatrabhumi ki rakhsha, Yeh shaurya, matrabhumi se prem hai kya, Ek kavi ki abhivyakti!! Din pratidin manush apni kathinaiyoon se jhoojhta hua, Kabhi girta kabhi gir ke sambhalta hua, Yeh jeevan ka parishram hai kya, Ek kavi ki abhivyakti!! Prem main mantra mugdh vyakti ka vyavhaar, Preysi se milne ka vyakulta se intezaar, Yeh milan ki pyaas, yeh prem hai kya, Ek kavi ki abhivyakti!! Kavi to woh hai is sansaar ka rachiyata, Usne hi to diya har kann ko jeevan, Yeh jeevan, yeh sansaar hai kya, Us sarvashreshta kavi ki abhivyakti!!...

I tried to understand my life, It made me fall in a maze, Where I was struggling, To figure out my own way, It was topsy-turvy, The puzzle made me cry. It seemed like a desert, Hot and dry, And I was lost in my life. I tried to understand my life, It made me drown in an ocean, With water all around, No one to see, I tried my best to swim across, But what it gave, Storms and rain, The waves got me, Took me to an island, Far away, Where I was all alone, Searching my own way. I tried to understand my life, It seemed I was thrown in a endless sky, To fight with the vacuum in my life, What I saw was a vacuum surrounding me, I was so small in the universe, I am just a small entity, Like a droplet of water in the sea, I was floating to find out a way, All alone in the endless Milky way. I tried to understand my life, With wind on my face, And bare feet, I had to go ahead to cut the forest as far as I see, I had to make my own way through the maze, I had to swim through the waves and ...

Phul ki khushboo se chaman gulzar hota hai, Murjhane se nahi rok paoge usse. Uski khushboo ko apni saanson main basa lo, Phir kabhi na bhul paoge usse. Dil par kissi ka jor nahi chalta hai, Na kabhi bandishoon main baandh paoge usse. Jiski chahat main dhadkta hai yeah, Hazaar koshishoon se bhi na rok paoge usse. Pyaar to ek lamha hai jeevan ka, Jee bhar ke jee lo isse. Lamha guzar jayega yaadien chod jayega, Phir kahan dhundoge usse. Intezaar to ek sahara hai jeena ka, Par sirf intezaar mein uske jee paoge kaise. Khol ke dil ke darwaaze pyaar se kar do usse ruksat, Varna usse khush dekh paoge kaise. Mehboob dil main hi basta hai, Dil se na nikaal paoge usse, Bichad ke jo woh kabhi chala wo jaaye, Zindagi ki har yaad main basa lo usse, Phir na bhula paoge usse.
