Tanhai se bhari yeh zindegi
Kisi nashe ke bina
Munasib toh nahi
Agar ghum hi bas ek nasha ho
Zindegi mein
Toh yahi sahi

To the Unknown

Beyond the horizon of darkness


To an unknown illusive world

Where love flows through the lips

In each and every word

I know not who calls me

I yearn to go there

Where death larks at every step

And life is but rare

Is this the end of the day

And a new beginning there

...

I Wonder wander in amazement

no one to share

I long to know why so

Oh my mind let me go

On my new car

Aaj mon cheyeche ami hariye jabo
Hariye jabo ami Garir sathe
Serial suru howar age, ghore pouchate
Ekti GPS ache amar hate...

Tumi bhashao amar ei cholar sathe
Police-er hath theke dur hote
Tai ja dekhi aaj sobi bhalo lage
Ei nuton garir signal-er age

Keno din alor moto prokhor hoye
High beam ta jole thake
Chicago rate...

Pain

Pain gives a purpose to live for;
Which happiness does suffer-

Satya meva jayate

We all know, we all feel
Truth may not always triumph;
Few know - guts to follow truth
Is more rewarding than triumph

Perfection exists only in moments.
Let moments be made eternal..

Real and Ideal

In my passionate pursuit for ideal love,
I failed to recognize real love-

Traveler

I traveled through the mountains,
I traveled through the wood;
I wandered through the forest
As far as I could-

I sailed through the rivers
I breathed in the sea
I tried to touch the horizon
As far I could see-

I climbed the skyscrapers
And the lofty tower
I saw the brilliance
Of the cruel power;

Roaming through the world,
As my traveler cease-
Nowhere nowhere could I found peace-

And then finally I went to cities
I went to slums, the villages
And the people there is-

I saw their struggle
Their weakness and strength-
Their pain and miseries
What all they meant-

I empathized with them
And their trembling faith
I supported them in their peaceful gait-

I fought for their rights
I felt their smiles
And with them, through them
As I walked for miles-

Suddenly I realized
I found peace
The unrest of my heart
Now cease to exist-

My wandering heart have found the nest
And this is the place
I have traveled best

For nothing is more wonderous
Than the human
Their life's a story
As deep as it can-

And here I belong
After all I roam
My traveler's heart
Finds a home-

Often love gives us an opportunity to rise to greatness;
Few takes this and glorifies love.

Monday, March 01, 2010

The beauty of unrequited love is its incompleteness;
The beauty of requited love is its satisfaction.

Labour Law in India

Still today, even though

implemented in the Labour law

Hardly do they follow

Decades after the May Day

As the struggle of our fore-fathers decay

Under the grave of fear

Listen listen, oh brothers

There is nobody to hear

People even donot know

There exist such a law

Its illegal to make one work

Beyond the hour eight

That minimum pay do exist

In law book the Great

Yet rarely implemented in our people’s fate

This is such as much shame

That people are numb and maimed

In the grave of fear

There is nobody to hear

The death silence still prevail

In the Hippocratic cultural veil

As our nation derail

In the pomp and show of glamour

The Have-nots do clamor

And it goes to deaf ear

In the realm of fear

Of ignornance, which reign

In the rat-race of the world

What did we do gain

It is only shame

Oh brother please hear

There is only a small life

Please do not fear”

Dard

Dard itni bhi khubsoorat nahi
Ki uspe kabita likhi ja sake!

Strength is no lack of kindness
Weakness is no compassion
Words gauge as much as deeds
Solitude is no salvation!

Public opinion

Trust not in the thoughts of people
They vanishes just as bubbles blow!
Strange acts by a comman man are crazy
By a famous man, are trends to follow!!

Thoughts

1) The lover is always be greater than the loved, just as a giver is greater than the receiver; provided he knows to love selflessly.

2) It is difficult for me to express my feelings, so I am a poet.

3) You may lie to the entire world, how would you lie to your own self.

4) I know not what is winning in love. I have loved just to lose everything willingly.

5) Do not depend on love, its too transitory a feeling.

6) When you seperate the humane factor from love, what remains is just the instinct. 

7) I dare to run the risk of losing you in order to love in an idealistic way.

8) They do charity only for fame who cannot extend it to his family and friends.

9) Knowlegde without contribution is fruitless just as skills without creativity.

10) Let us give more emphasis to creativity than knowlege. Our education system fails terribly in this regard.

11) I would prefer beauty to imperfection,
I would value meaning more than beauty;
I would chose purpose rather than meaning,
I would regard contribution above all.

12) True love is not about how much you feel
But how much you care uncharitably.
It is not what you get out of it,
It is what you give.

13) When you give with pride, its charity
When you give with joy it is love.

14) When you are bored with cliches
You write quotes.

15) Don't believe in proverbs by famous men,
They are as erronous as any other statement.

Mohabaat

Is duniya ne humse mohabaat na ki thi kabhi
Ki duniya ko mohabaat karna aaya hi na tha!
