इरशाद

है हर तरफ से आ रहा इतना प्यार,
फिर भी है दिल को उस एक की दरकार|
उस ओर भँवरे बिना तनहा वो फूल..
यहाँ तू बीते लम्हे में मुश्गूल||
तन्हाई की ओढ़ में न छुप तू..
इतने प्यार से न डर तू|
ज़िन्दगी तुझ पर भी है मेहरबान..
हैं तेरे भी इतने कद्रदान ||
भूल न तू- इन्सान को दूजे की थाली हमेशा सुहाती!
समझेगा तू कब नादान ए दिल... कसे मुट्ठी में मिटटी नहीं समाती!

Happy Deepwali :-)

Khushnaseeb hoon main jo tumhe dost paya hoon
Hazaron se mila fir tumpe aaya hoon
Aapas mein samjhe, dono khoob boojhe
Diya jo jala kabhi na wo bujhe
Mann karta hai har ek se jakar kahoon.
Deepawali mane to aise mane,
Warna aangan mein diye to khoob jalate hain
par mann mein diya tale andhere ka kuch nahi karte.
Kisi ke paas dost ho tum jaisa to koi samjhe.
Deep aise ho to parv na hota teen din ka.
Zindagi bhar ke liye deep jala laya hoon.
Khushnaseeb hoon main jo tumhe dost paya hoon.

aa jaye pal jab banke toofani hawayein
Cha jaaye zindagi par kaali ghata ke saayein
andhera mitega, aisa khud se kehte jana
yaad karna mujhe,aa jaaunga main
in andheron ko mita na paoon to kya
andar dhoop ki kiran to jaga doonga

aayegi zindagi mein fir bahar
khila khila uthe phool jaise
hogi jeevan mein nayi tarang waise


baad mein poochogi apne aks se kabhi
ye janogi wo jo main tha;
tum hi ho
tum hi ho

What am I doing with my life?

What am I doing with myself, my life?
Am I heading for the destination? Am I following the path correctly?

Taking risks at every point, taking on any situation unprepared!
‘Spontaneity is a good characteristic’ people say. But is this it?
No, I sometimes feel, because it borders insanity!

Many a time even people who understand me, misunderstand me!
Not realizing their worth in my eyes;
What some people mean to me in my life!

Let no one believe-I’ve never lied except when it is for the good
I’m nothing without my support- my family, my friends.

I may not be the best.
But I know I’m good- good at heart
Loving peace and enjoying fun

TRUST and FREEDOM I value and demand in any relationship
And place those special people on the pedestal

I always try and do justice to my conscience, my intuition.
Do what I feel is right!

I always….

But still amidst all this, there’s a lacuna where I ask myself….

What am I doing with myself, my life?
