bourgeois हो या proletariat
rahoge to insaan hi
proletariat ko to insaan nahin samjhta bourgeois
sochta hai gulaam hai uska wo
apne joote ki nok par rakhta hai proletariat ko
...par proletariat ke bina to sansar nahin chal sakta
aap bourgeois ho ke bhi nahin ho
apni 60 ki raftaar mein bhi
aadmi-aadmi ka fark nahin bhule
aapse bourgeois ki kya fajihat
jisne pyar kiya insaan ko insaan ki tarah....

इर्ष्या है मगर मुझको बहुत उससे.........

मेरे अलावा भी बहुत सारे हैं दोस्त उसके
बहुत हैं जिनसे रिश्ता है जैसा मुझसे नहीं
खुश हूँ इर्ष्या है मगर मुझको बहुत उससे
मुझे मिला एक दोस्त वो जिसके है बहुत दोस्त
सब के लिए है समय उसके पास
बस मेरे लिए ही नहीं
गर ऐसा ही रिश्ता था निभाना उसको
क्यों कर आया वो मेरी ज़िन्दगी में
दूर रहता,नज़दीक नहीं आता
मन को बहला लेता यह कह
कि वो जहाँ है खुश रहे
नहीं है मेरी दुनिया में तो क्या हुआ
आबाद रहे उनकी दुनिया जिनके संग वो मुस्कुराता है!!!!

Floundering

Along life's road,
came someone.
Said he knew me,
from my childhood.
He could recall me vividly
while I was floundering.
Could neither place nor recall
him from Time's fall.
He poured his heart out,
shared his secrets,
hidden in the deep recesses of his mind.
He was scared and vulnerable too,
yet was ready to go with the flow.
Suddenly he closed his heart to me!
The heart which he said I had stormed!
Now I suffer the pangs of separation.
As if the umbilical cord has been severed too harshly.
The endless wait continues.
No message comes.
The brief period of sharing is already gone.
Time is passing by.
Is it the passing of the Time?
Or have I passed by his life?
Questions, questions and questions!!!
No answer.
Once again I am floundering,
this Time for lack of sharing.
Maybe a new dawn tomorrow,
which will lift this sorrow.
Now I pass Time in the hope
that he will once again share
what was so precious for him
and so special for me.

पता

मैं रब्ब=रब्ब करदी,रब्ब नू लबदी फिरदी!
न मिलेया ओह मंदिर, न गुरूद्वारे, न मसीत-ए!
रब्ब मिलेया माँ दे दुलार च,
पिता दे प्यार च,
हम-लफ्ज़, हम-ज़बां ,हम-सोच दे साथ च!
ओह मिलेया मेरे बच्चे दी मुस्कान च!
ते मिलेया मेरे अन्दर इक अँधेरे कोने च!
दुब्केया बैठा,
बाहर निकलन तों डरदा!
जदों मैं पुछेया,
ते रब्ब ने हौले जीहा केहा,
"मैं तां हर उस जगह वसदा हाँ
जिथे प्यार है!
मैं तेरे अन्दर डरेया बैठा
के बाहर नफरत दी आँधी च,
लोग झुलस रये ने!
मेरा पता हर इन्सां नू
उस दिन मिल जाएगा,
जिस दिन ओ आपणी 'मैं' नू छड
बस मेरे बन्देयाँ नाल प्यार करेगा"!!!!

मैं हूँ

मैं तो हूँ ही
सदा
दिल में धड़कन की तरह
जिस्म में साँसों की तरह
शरीर में आत्मा की तरह
मुझ से आत्मा तृप्त हो
मुझ में ही विलीन हो जाती है
मैं हूँ
मेरा एहसास है
और मेरे होने के एहसास में ही जीवन है!!!

The green grassy road

The green grassy road
Leading to the home
Home is where the hearth is
Hearth is where warmth is
Warmth lies in the eyes of my loved one
...The doe-like eyes are full of love
Love is for me aplenty
Plenty are the blessings of God
Blessings come through warmth
Warmth lies in the eyes of my loved one!!!!

जो आया है
वो इक दिन जाएगा भी
जिस ईशवर की गोद से आया है
उसकी गोद में जाएगा भी
जिस परम अभिभावक ने उसे धरती पर भेजा है
...उसी के पास सदा के लिए जा रहेगा भी
मौत तो आनी है, निशचित है
तो फिर मौत से कैसा भय
मौत तो मिलवाएगी
उस पिता से
जिस ने दिया है जन्म!!!!

God made man in His own image,
man defiled that image.
God wanted him to be humble and kind,
man had other things in his mind.
God fulfilled all his needs and desires,
man threw all his goodness in hell's fires.
God thought that man would learn from his mistakes,
man merely continued to increase the stakes.
God had created man as a wonder,
he turned into a monster.
God felt that man would stop his brutality,
there was no end to man's temerity.
Wonder when man would open his eyes,
and see the beauty of the limitless skies?
Wonder when man would realize,
that nothing but goodness survives?
........
Halt man!Put an end to your cruelties!
Or,nothing would be left for revelries!!!!!

तमाम उम्र ढूँढती रही आब-ए-हयात को
