DIL KA HUJRA SAAF KAR , JAANA KE AANE KE LIYE!!!

This ghazal was recited by a saint "Shri Tulsi Sahab" to a Muslim Businessman, who wanted to understand how to find ALLAH!!

Dil ka hujra saf kar, jana ke ane ke liye,
Dhyan gairo ka utha uske bithane ke liye.

Cleanse the chamber of your heart, so that the Beloved may enter,
Remove all the foreign impressions, so that He can take His seat there.

Chashme dil se dekh yaha jo jo tamashe ho rahe,
Dilsita kya kya hai tere dil satane ke liye.

See with the heart's eye the astonishing spectacle of this world,
What heart ravishing scenes appear there to entice you.

Ek dil lakho tamnna us pai aur zyada havis,
Phir thikana hai kaha uske tikane ke liye?

One heart, with many desires, and always the lust for more,
Where is there any place for the Lord to come and reside?

Nakali mandir masjido me jae sade aphosa hai,
Kudarati masjid ka sakin dukh uthone ke liye.

It is a great pity that, going in the false [imitation] temples and mosques,
The indweller of the true mosque [the human body] is made to suffer.

Kudarati kabe ki tu maharab me sun gaur se,
A rahi dhur se sada tere bulane ke liye.

We should listen with attention in the prayer niche of the true Kaaba,7
The sound is coming from the Court of the Lord and is calling you.

Kyo bhatkata phir raha tu e talashe yar me,
Rasta shah rag me hai dilvar pai jane ke liye.

Why are you wandering around lost in search of the Beloved?
The way to reach the charming one lies through the shah rag.

TULSI SAHAB

PAAGAL MAN KI HALCHAL!!!

na jaane kaisa ye sailaab hai...
umadta hai aur kabhi theharta
na jaane kaisa ye ajaab hai..
ek mauj jo uththi hai seene me
kyo hamko baha ke le jaati hai
kyo iski lehere reh reh kar
tere dil se bhi takrati hain...
dil me bane is jwaar ko kaise
tere saamne la kar dikhlau..
kya chahta hai ye paagal man
kaise mai tujhko samjhau ...
nahi jaanta hu mai kya karta
ho sakti mujhse bhool bhi hai
meri bhool ko dil pe na lena
wo sach me mera pyaar hi hai ...

Mere sapno ki Mallika!!

dekhe maine khwab na jaane kitne saare

anginat the bahut kai the bahut hi pyaarepar sabse pyaari jo cheez thi mere sab khwabo me...

kya tum jaanti ho .. wo tum thi...

--
mere har khwaab ki hamsafar... tum thi

aur jab kaandhe par mere sar rakh kar muskaai

mere khwaabi ki wo badli chhatney ko hai aayi...

aankhein khol ke dekhta hu tum mere saath khadi ho...lagta hai tum mere sapno se nikli ho..

MY SUNSHINE!!!

I miss my sunshine
I miss my moon
Those sleepless nights
And sleepy afternoon
Where is that smile gone..
Who stole it away
How do I find it out..
Whom do I pray…
Has it gone for real?
Or is this just a dream?
Switching of emotions
From one to other extreme.
Hope that smile would come back
And forever it would stay..
Wish I’d see the sunshine
Once again I pray

A SQUEAL!!!

Licking up the wound that can't be healed

and covering the scars that are revealed,

i try to retaliate but i feel tired and lost

i feel haunted by my own ghost.

Looking at the mirror, i feel nice,

Is it the truth, or it tells lies...

when will i know, who would clarify,

those thousands of doubts, will they pacify?

EK ARZ.. !!!

Patharo ke jangal me lage Insano ke is bazaar me,

Kaano ko cheerte is tanhayion ke shor me,

Karodo ki bheed me apne akelepan se bhaagta,

Badhawaas thaka sa mai, sone ko do gaj ki panaah maangta hu!

Kaagajo ki syaahi ke beech ke khali nishano ko dhundta,

Aur un khaali nishaano ko jod kar naya lafj banata,

Fir us lafj ko apni hi jabaan par dafn kar ke,

Bhoole lafjo ke yaad aane ki dua maangta hu!!

Khule aasmano me ghutan mehsoos karta,

Janjeer nahi, par kate pairon ki jakdan mehsoos karta,

Apni azaadi se inta ghabra gaya hu mai,

Ke teri baahon mein kaid hone ki sajaa maangta hoon!!!

-------------

(this is wat I used to be)

Sehra me yu hi chala ja raha tha,
Mai bilkul akele jiya ja raha tha.
Ye ankhein tarasti hain, socha nahi tha,
Meri bhi hasti hai, socha nahi tha.
Fir ek din jaise suraj ug aya,
Andheri gali me diya jagmagaya.
Ye kaisa ujala, ye kya roshni thi,

Achanak hi meri bhi duniya haseen thi.

(How is she like?)

Ankhon me uski ajab roshni hai,
Chehre pe uske gajab saadgi hai.
Kehta nahi kuch, hai mehsoos hota.
Ke baato me uski, to kuch baat bhi hai.
Dekhoon mai jab bhi wo hasta hi milta,
Ke gam jaise uske nahi paas bhi hai.
Kya uske hi jaisa hu mai bhi ho sakta,

Uthe mere dil me ye jajbaat bhi hain.

(What’s special about her?)

Ye duniya ko dekho, gamo se bhari hai,
Har ek dil pe chaayi, kya murdaanagi hai.
Gamo ko to usne bhi jhela hi hoga,
Ke duniya ke khelo ko khela bhi hoga.
Par ek baat hairan karti hai mujhko,
Jo duniya se usko juda kar rahi hai.
Pareshaan duniya na raato ko soti,
Wo din me bhi sapne naye bun rahi hai.

(What do I think looking at her?)

Jagi bheed me jhapki leti wo ladki,
Hai masoom bachhon si soti wo ladki,
Kabhi neend me hi behekne wo lagti,
Kabhi girte girte sambhalti wo ladki.
Magar uski ye baat mujhko hai bhaati,
Wo soyee hui bhi rahe muskurati.
Duniya kya soche nahi usko chinta,
Hai kaisi ya alhad si bebaak ladki.

(What she might be doing in her dreams)

Wo khwabon ke sagar me gote lagati,
Wo taaron se sapno ka aangan sajati
Wo kis yaad me kho ke duniya bhulati,
Kahaan ko chali hai, wo kya gungunati
Wo apni hi dhun me magan naachti hai
Meri bhi nigahein usse baanchti hain.
Agar sun sake to tu sun meri dhadkan
Tere dil me thodi jagah mangti hai.

(My dilemma)

Mere dil ki kashti kaha hai bhatakti,
Ye ankhein meri kyon teri raah takti
Kahu pyar isko, ya kuch aur samjhu,
Ye kaisi paheli, ye kyo na sulajhti.
Magar chahta hu, na ho naam iska,
Bhale jo bhi ho chahe anjaam iska,
Ke gujre jo lamhe mere teri janib
Mai kaise chukaunga ehsaan iska

(My only message to her)

Agar tum jo meri kabhi ho na pao,
Ke sapno ko mere, jo sanjo na pao,
Kasam tumko hai, meri parwaah na karna,
Khud se hansi ko juda tum na karna.
Magar jaate jaate ek ehsaan karna,
Agar ho sake to kabhi yaad karna,
Tha jis shakhs ko tumne hasna sikhaya,
Tum jab bhi hasogi, samjho wo muskuraya.

Would u say anything?

Shouting at the silence that surrounds me through
And asking it the questions that meant for u,
Would u someday, to me, say anything?
Or will u just in any way, pass a blink?
Tell u what, If u have something to tell,
Believe me, u don’t need to spell,
I’d understand only with your smile,
Will u just pass me one, will the time stop a while?
For the moment I’m waiting for since so long.
Don’t limit in words, don’t sing a song,
All I needs to know is your smile and a glare.
But don’t know, how to make u understand my prayer,
Will u see, before God, whenever I kneel,
Never do I pray, not to sway what u feel,
But for once, at least once, make u listen to my squeal.
Please! Say something! Let your heart reveal.

GHUTAN!

Khuli Ankho se dekhe jo khwaab
Suna mom se pighal rahe hain,
Tang ankho ki ghutan se nikle,
Khuli palko me tehal rahe hain.

Ye khwahishein jo dil mein pali aur
Bayaan hone ko hotho par aayi
Hothon se jab bol na nilke,
Tab naino sang preet lagai.
Naino se tapke ye geele sapne,
Chehre par sookh kar ubhar rahe hain.
Tang ankho ki ghutan se nikle,
Khuli palko me tehal rahe hain.

MY FRIEND

this one i'd written for my best friend.. though not too good.. but close to my heart. coz my friend is also that close to me :)

here it is : 

It’s been ages,
I’m kinda fillin the pages.
Trying to revive a rhythm,
Always end up with scribble.
I’ve always been a slow learner,
And time is my only teacher.
They say that time heals all wounds,
Though love heals faster, sweet it may sound,
But never did I dare to try,
Afraid that it brings disasters.
But God, may his name be blessed,
Who swaps deserts with pastures.
The rain of my share was still due,
Will it ever pour, never had a clue.
Then one day, it stormed, enlightened and roared,
Angel smiled on the one who was ignored.
They say, angels are feathered, but my angel was not.
It looked like a human, not what I was taught.
He didn’t reveal from the ocean, neither came out of sand,
He’s very much like me- a mortal and I call him my friend.

MY FIRST POEM!

Born up with cries and screams
I also grew up with dreams
Dreams of fame, dreams of name.
Dreams so simple, but not lame.
Never wanted to reach the stars,
But to get rid of my scars
Never tried to catch the moon
Never yearned a big fortune
But I envied something, and thats all I envied.
Fill my blanks with love, is what I plead.
And this is what I always regret.
The strings of my happiness that I never kept,
Were into those hands who were unknown,
He was my God and I, a mere clown.
Once again my God betrayed,
The broken promises he once made,,
Were shattered right before my eyes,
And here, before me are scattered, my shattered dreams,

Heavily breathing and dying, with rare inaudible screams.

Guess I've gone insane, for I recollect those dead pieces,

Mad I must be to believe, Phoenix rises from ashes.

No sleep left in my eyes, no more courage to dream,

Tears dried a long ago, but there's left a gleam.

Once more my eyes are heavy, longing for rest

Though afraid to dream, but ready for the quest.

Once more I clean the blanks, revealing out the ship that sank,

Once more I dare to try, this time I'm prepared to cry.

And I'm celebrating this gamble I fancy,

Tonight after so long, I shall embrace the dormancy.
