Serendipity - Poetry, Articles and Life Stories

When you can't sleep and the past replays on loop, When the night is young but your thoughts are old, When you can hear the fading tick tocks of the clock and silence screams, When you are tired and sleepy but still scared of your own dreams, When the dust on the window pane becomes your mid-night concern, When the careless whispers of the night become conversations, When you are lonely, But act mature and don't admit, When you want to cry, But act brave and don't break down, Let the night speak to you when you refuse to listen to yourself, Let your regrets fade off and allow yourself to laugh at them, Let your anguish empower your wisdom for a while, Let your madness overpower your sanity for once...

Kahin bheed mein kho Gaye tum, ab dikh bhi jaate ho to gair lagte ho tum, intezaar bhi nahin, ummeed ka tinka bhi nahin, phir bhi kyun yaadon ko kyun khangaal jaate ho tum

Jab intezaar ka bhi intezaar ho, Tujhse milne ki tamanna hi baar baar ho, Jab tamanna ki bhi tamanna khoobsurat lage, Aur Milne ka din na ho tayy par wahi ek zaroorat ho... Jab chaand nikle par, Chandni se roshni na chhane, Zikr ho tumhara aur, Kaagaz par sirf nazm aur ghazal hi bane, To puchna tum bhi, Apni khidki par jami oas ke tinkon se, Mere sheher ki hawa se unki Kya mulaaqaat huyi ? Kyunki mere aayeene Tak, Tere tasavvur ki khushboo hai bikhri huyi, Aur kamre mein Teri maujoodgi bhi zara uljhi huyi, Aur tujhse milne ke intezaar ke intezaar mein hun, Ho gayi hun bekaar aajkal, Kyunki main Tere pyaar mein hun...

Two things are the easiest to do in life... One - Hurting someone for your own benefit or sometimes satisfaction, Two - Giving up ! I don't know you much but I know that you'll never choose the easy way out ! These are phases of self doubt, existential crisis, pain that you can't express or explain and tears that don't come out but scribble your self belief with sharp edges ... I'll just say that believe in yourself and believe in the fact that after every dark night there's a bright day. There are things that you can't cope up with, there are things that don't let you sleep, there are things that don't make you feel good about even the brightest of days and best of times, but that's how life is... Unpredictable yet beautiful in it's own ways. Just wait for your time and trust me, it will all be awesome again... But again.. life will keep happening and like a pendulum you'll keep touching the extremes and coming back to the same places an...

Kal ki mulaakaat se aaj ki mulaakaat ka waqt, Yun hi nikal gaya, raat ka andhera Yun hi khaamoshiyon mein pighal gaya, aag jal rahi thi kisi Kone mein, par lamhon ki garmaahat  baaton mein kaid thi, hansi aur thahaakon ke beech, guzri Zindagi ke kisson ki goonj bhi thi, yeh kaarwaan bhi hai, aur daastaan bhi, kuch waqt hai meherbaan bhi, guzarne do is lamhe ko, sahi galat ka hisaab mat rakho, ki waqt ko waqt se samajh Lena hi Zindagi hai....

I always heard stories about love... watched films.. n read poetry... n had certain ideas n ideologies about it. Unconditional.. unselfish... patient.. kind... that's all what I had always believed until I met you. Because it was then when I understood and felt the actual depth of this four letter word. It is not just unconditional but a little demanding... as it demands some level of acknowledgement if not love in return. It is not just unselfish because it expects  ... as it desires fidelity.. it is not just patient but restless as it endures pain but still manages to show its happiest phase... it is not just kind but a little mean.. as it makes us negative towards the person who want to hamper it's essence. I have learnt about all the paradigms of Love through you... I have seen myself changing for good.. for bad... for the best n the worst. I have seen myself growing n witnessed my own decline.. I have seen my own damage n recovery... I have learnt so much about myself.. ...

Gum ho jaaun, Woh zarra nahin main, Tinkon ki ginti ka, Koi Tukda nahin main, Rangon mein ghul jaaun, Kuch aisi tasveer Hun, Main manzilon ki seedi, Aur dusron ki taqdeer Hun...
