Serendipity - Poetry, Articles and Life Stories

Ek nazm si chalti hai, Waqt ke kaafile mein, Jaise zindagi takra gayi ho,  Toote huye hausalon se. Intezaar, aur sirf intezaar,  Rehta hai mere hisse,  Khaamosh lafz,  Rehte hain kal ke daayaron mein. Ek benaam sa rishta hai,  Aur bekhauffiyat hai jazbaaton ki,  Gulaab ki khushbu sa behta hai,  Aur darr ki chaadar hai kaanton ki.  Uljhe huye sire kuch,  Kuch khoobsurat kisse hain,  Sirf baaton ke tukde,  Aur ghazalon se mukhde hain. Theherna hai, chalna bhi hai,  Bheegna hai, jalna bhi hai,  Kashmakash hai,  Haqeeqat bhi hai,  Aur dil ko tootne ki,  Aadat bhi hai.  Phir bhi aankhon pe parda sa hai,  Guzarte mausamon ka darr sa hai, Par nazar mein tassavvur khwaabon sa hai,  Aur aashiyaan sajaane ka manzar bhi hai.

Jab mere diye kurte ko pehen kar, Tum gair ladkiyon ke kandhe par, Haath rakh kar tasveer khichwaate ho, Kya us din, us pal, tum poori tarah, Mujhe bhool jaate ho ? Ya us kurte ko pehente waqt, Meri yaad ki khushbu, Tumhe chhoo jaati hai,  Aur us Udaipur se liye kurte se,  Tumhe meri pasand ki oas bhigaati hai, Log kehte hain bhool jaaun tumhe main, Jaise tumne bhula diya hai mujhe,  Par is nadaan Dil ko kaise samjhaaun, Jo khush hai ki mere diye huye kurte ko,  Diwali par pehna tumne.

Is this Depression ?  There are times, When you scream and there's no noise, When you cry and there are no tears, When you are sleepless in thoughts, yet asleep in real, When your mirror questions you and nothing answers, When each step feels like a milestone, And each breath feels like a lifetime... When you're not lazy but just tired, Not physically but emotionally, Drained and drenched with your own dark thoughts, Locked and blocked in your mind's own darker room, When you see good things happening around, But can't feel anything, When even the best weather doesn't create a difference, And every morning there's a heavy feeling... A drowning heart and dying spirit, But then the thought that this shall pass,  As it is said, as the last time it was, This is a new day, let's try again, Let's live, let's smile, at least pretend... The sun still shines,  The stars still glitter,  The winds still blow,  And seasons change,  But what is it that has bound

Kya tum bhi... Kya tum bhi meri tarah yeh baatein sochte ho,  kaise honge woh din aur raatein sochte ho,  jab waqt ki koi paabandi Na hogi,  mulaaqaaton ki umrein lambi hongi,  Jab har khayaal likh ke bataana Na padega, Aur doooriyon se pyaar jataana Na padega... Kya tum bhi meri tarah yeh baatein sochte ho,  kaise honge woh din aur raatein sochte ho, Jab hum har waqt ka khaana saath khaayenge, Aur bin soche bas kahin bhi nikal jaayenge, Jab saath baith kar ghanton yeh chaand takenge, Aur phir pehle ki baaton par pehli baar sa hansenge... Yeh baatein sochte sochte ek ek din main guzaar rahi hun, Tumse milne ka har waqt main intezaar kar rahi hun, Dekho aaj ek aur din kam ho gaya, Hamari mulaaqaat ka waqt kareeb aa gaya, Yahi soch kar muskura rahi hun main meelon dur tumse, Yahi soch kar phir khwaab bun rahi hun jodd ke tumse...

Yahan likhti hun kyunki yahan tumhe koi jaanta nahin,  Saari duniya mein elaan kiya tha mohabbat ka maine,  Par yahan hamara rishta koi pehchaanta nahin. Medhavi  24/10/24

Sach ki talaash nahin ab mujhko,  Kyunki har lafz tumhara dhokha tha,  Bas afsos hai, gussa hai khud pe mujhko, Kyunki mere sab apnon ne mujhko roka tha,  Yakeen tum par maine kiya,  Kyunki zindagi bhar mohabbat ko dhoondha tha,  Tum miley aur talaash khatam huyi,  Aisa kuch maine socha tha,  Ab dekhti hun tumhe gairon ke liye woh sab karte huye,  Jo Jo tumse maine maanga tha,  Meri zindagi tabaah kar tum yun hi chale gaye,  Kya ek pal ko bhi tumhara pyaar sachcha tha ?  Medhavi  26/10/24
