खुद की तलाश

कुछ वक्त गुमनामी ही सही, भूल जा ज़माना ,औऱ खुद की तलाश कर।

भटकता रहा जो दर-बदर शोरगुल के पीछे, 

थोड़ा रुक और खुद की खामोशी से बात कर।

नज़रो ने देखे हैं तेरी , हैवानियत के किस्से,

आंखों से धूल हटा, और इंसानियत का आगाज़ कर।

चंद लम्हे जुटा ले खुशियों के तू,

भीड़ का खिलौना ना बन, मुस्कुराहट की बौछार कर।

इल्म बहुत है ना , तुझे तेरे वजूद का,

अंधेरो को उनका रास्ता दिखा, रौशनी को ना नाराज़ कर।

कितना जिएगा अब औऱ, झूठी शान में,

ये ज़मी तेरी अपनी है, इसे और तो ना ख़ाक कर।

बाहों में भर ले इंसानियत को, बेड़ियाँ लगा दे हैवानियत पर,

दोज़ख़ बनी ज़मी, अब तो ज़न्नत कर।

सरहदे ज़रूर बनाई है हमने, फिर भी मोहब्बत फैला दुनिया मे,

हिफाज़त का ताबीज़ बन कर।

Dear Rainfall

My dear rainfall,

Please allow your first drop

To fall on my beloved’s face.

It shall bring colossal pleasure

And a sense of freedom to her.

She is as pure as your first drop

And her heart is as luminous as you.

In her ecstasy lies my happiness

And in her smile lies my life.

I beg you to fulfil my wish

A wish which shall bring exhilaration in my life.

When you fall on her face

Travel along her soft cheeks

To touch her lips.

So that she can even taste you

And I shall find my sanity

After kissing her contented lips.

Just like you bless these leaves

Just like you bless these lands

Bless my beloved and wash away her sorrows.

My dear rainfall,

Please allow your first drop

To fall on my beloved's face.

अनकही बाते

   By Mayank                                  

                                         अनकही बाते

होंठ बोले ना बोले 

 आँखें बोल जाती है।

इस छोटे से दिल में छुपी 

जितनी कहानी हैं।

कभी आँखों से बोलती 

तो कभी साँसों से बोलती 

फिर भी दिल छुपा पाए 

तो धड़कने है बोलती।

है ये अनकही बातें
है प्यार तो समझ जाओगे।
है ये दिल की बातें
है एहसास तो समझ जाओगे।

कभी छुने से पता चले
तो कभी चूमने से पता चले।
बात जो दिल की है
वो रग-रग बयाँ करे।

कभी मुस्कराहट से बोलती
तो कभी आँसुओं से बोलती।
फिर भी दिल छुपा पाए
तो आहटों से बोलती।

है ये अनकही बातें
है प्यार तो समझ जाओगे।
है ये दिल की बातें
है एहसास तो समझ जाओगे।

THE PURSUIT

By Mayank                                        

I closed my eyes

And you were there

I felt anguish and obnoxious

I opened it abruptly

But you were not there any longer

I searched in the deep woods

I searched in the horizons

There is no place left now

Then it hit me hard

I was lonesome in darkness

I empathized how dim-witted  I was

 hadn't scrutinized the most palpable place

Finally I found you there, in my heart

You were standing and smiling at me

Straightening your hands to embrace me.

The Celebration Of Love

by Mayank

This is the moment we waited for

Just you and me, no other trace of living things

Seldom will we get this opportunity

Let’s live this moment, like never before

Your lips are soft and wet

Still I feel warm kissing it

My hands are thirsty and warm

Still you are shivering with every touch of it.

Your long black hair compliments your flawless skin

Your lips on me and my hands on you

It’s a sensuous ecstasy and a way to heaven

This temptation is rising and we are on cloud number nine.

Me over you and you over me, crushing each other

Right now this merger is our ultimate destination

Let’s reprise our love like no one ever did

This is not just a love making, it’s a celebration of love.

My Priced Possession

By Mayank

 The sea looks so beautiful

The sky looks so blue

This world seems so pleasant

When I am with you.

I have no necessities

When I have you.

When you hold my hand

I find tranquility.

When you kiss my lips

I find solace.

Our love is a gift of almighty

And we must not squander it.

You are my priced possession

And I don’t wanna lose it.

GUIDING ANGEL

By Mayank

The clock stop ticking
My heart stop beating
When I saw your face for the first time
I was not sure
Was it really you
Or an angel?
Who was coming for me
To hold my hand 
And to guide me towards the brightness
The brightness of love and solace.

Our Own Way

By Mayank

We have our own way

Don’t push us to be a rule's slave.

We have our own style

Don’t teach us what is traditional.

We want to run

We want to fly

Let us fall once

We’ll stand on our own

And shall learn form our mistakes.

DREAM

I have seen a dream
In that dream I saw a world
A world free from violence.
A world free from evils.
A world where only love and respect exist.
A world with peace.
But I am afraid, this was just a dream.
Still I'll not let this dream go
I'll pray, my dream shall come true one day.

THEN YOU ARE A MAN

When you stand for yourself, 

And distinct yourself from the barbaric crowd.

When you stand for the right,

And when you fight with the hounds.

Then you are a man.

When you respect a women,

And make her feel safe.

When you truly love a girl,

And provide her solace.

Then you are a man.

When you back your words and promises,

No matter what comes in your way.

When you understand the pain of others,

Even though they don't say.

Then you are a man.

IN THE MOON LIGHT

When the wind blows

and sun bids good bye

I see your face 

In the moon light

You came walking towards me

smiling in your red gown

We embraced each other

I feel your warm body

and our heart matches their beats

You took my touch with pride

as if its a crown

I stroke your hair

and you pulled me hard

We kissed We touched

In the bed we were tied

Tied with the bond of love

Never took our eyes away

Never took our hands away

Then I tighten my hold

You started breathing harder

You warm breath stroked my chest

and then that whole night

we didn't rest

BANJARA

Homeless and poor are no new term to anyone and this is affecting and impacting many people and their way of living from decades. This poem is a dedication to one such group of people called as "Banjara" , who are often recognized as "travellers". They move from places to places for their survivals. Though they walk in group but inside they are alone, their life are empty.

   BANJARA

बंजारा 

दूर दूर तक कोई नहीं 

बस ये अकेली ज़िन्दगी है।

हर वक़्त आबुदाना ढूँढती 

अब यही इसकी बन्दगी है।

पल पल तरसता है ये, जाने किसकी तलाश है

चाहिए इसे बस जीवन में पानी सा ठहराव है।

दर दर जाता ये बंजारा 

रास्ते में फिरता ये आवारा।
अकेले में आँसुओं को न रोक पाता
दूसरों के सामने हर वक़्त मुस्कुराता।

नज़रे इसकी झुकी रहती
पर देखता हर वक़्त आकाश है।

रास्ते पे कोई नहीं रहता 

चलता ये हर वक़्त अकेला है।

मिला नहीं है ऐसा पल ,जिसे ये कह सके 

ये पल हमारा है, ये पल भी बंजारा है।

बस एक अनमोल पल को ढूँढता 

ये बंजारा चलता अकेला है।

न बाँटी है कभी ख़ुशी 

न बाँटा है कभी कोई ग़म।

हर वक़्त रहती है इसकी आँखें 

आँसुओं से भींगी हो के नम।

दूर दूर तक अपना कोई दिखता नहीं

और बंजरो में बढ़ता हर वक़्त ये बंजारा है।

NOT DEFEATED, JUST A BIT TIRED

English translation of my poem "  हारा नहीं बस कुछ थक सा गया हूँ "

Stopping at a point does not always means that it is over for you, you are done/defeated.Even it sounds so negative. Well on the positive side I can say stopping at a point is always a "PAUSE" in which you find a solution,prepare yourself to move further and get ready to fight more.
So whenever you stop in front of any problem always say to yourself "I AM JUST TIRED NOT DEFEATED".
  

                              NOT DEFEATED, JUST A BIT TIRED

            I am repeatedly falling

            The way is difficult some how I am walking

            Yes, I'm waiting

            But this journey has not ended.

            Hey, the moon appeared in the sky

            Why are you laughing looking at my wounds

            You yourself are full of marks, why are you forgetting

            Yes I'm burning in your heat sun

            But why are you feeling relieved

            I'm burning right now

            But you burn all the time, why are you forgetting

            Don’t know why the path feels happy

            When it puts gravel beneath my feet.

            Why are you forgetting that the gravels are underneath my feet

             But it is sitting on your head all the time.

             Yes, due to all these injuries I am standing still

             But I am not defeated, just a bit tired.

NO THINKER NO EINSTEIN: I JUST WANNA BE ME

Let me play

Let me be a game

I wanna be a clay

Flexing and taking different shapes

I don't wanna be a sheep

who'll follow a path

No thinker No enistein

I just wanna be me.

Let me fly

Let me be a bird

I'll do things on my term

Moving and seeing different places

I don't wanna be an ideal child

With side parted hair and dressed formal style

No thinker No enistein

I just wanna be me.

Let me live

Let me be myself

Don't put me in a science lab

I'll do experiments in a lab called life

I don't wanna be a scientist who invent

I just wanna discover myself

No thinker No enistein

I just wanna be me.

MUSKIL SE MILA THA, AAJ FIR SE KHO GAYA

In bad times we go through hell and at the end we are shattered but just like after every night,morning comes, every bad time is followed by good time. The world again becomes a good place to live and we live happy. But the biggest irony is after every good time ,bad time comes and we are lost again.

"मुश्किल से  मिला था आज फिर से खो गया"

 मुश्किल से मिला था मैं खुद को  

आज फिर से खो गया।

सोचा ढूँढू फिर से मैं खुद को 

पर मुझे मेरा कोई निशान न मिला। 

गया शीशे के सामने जब खुद को देखने 

तो मुझे बस मेरा शरीर  दिखा।

हूँ हैरान मैं खुद को देख के 

हैं जब साँसे नहीं तो फिर आसूँ  हैं मेरे निकले कैसे ?

चल नहीं रही जब धड़कने मेरी 

तो इस दिल में दर्द हैं कैसे ?

 अब ढूँढू मैं खुद को कहा 

आज मुझसे मेरा पता खो गया।

 मुश्किल से मिला था मैं खुद को 

आज फिर से खो गया।

KHWABON KE PARINDEY

Everyone wants to fly and search for their undiscovered dreams and love, but sometimes we are really strict for our self. Sometimes we dismiss a dream saying its impossible and sometimes we do not allow anybody to come close to us because we think he/she may hurt us (but, yes we should sometimes trust our instinct).

Do we ever realize that the boundaries we create are actually the only obstruction between our self and our dreams & love.

So let your birds fly and "discover your life and yourself."

                                KHWABON KE PARINDEY    

                                              ख्वाबों के परिंदे 

ख्वाबों के परिंदे को उड़ जाने दो 

दिल खोल इन हवाओ को खुद  में समां जाने दो।

ना आने दो उन्हें जो दिल को पहुचाएँ चोट 

मत रोको आने से उन्हें जिनके नाम से ही मुस्कुराते हैं होंठ।

जब दिल खोलोगे तो पता चलेगा कौन हैं अपना 

जब पंख फैलाओगे तब पता चलेगा क्या हैं सपना।

ख्वाबों के परिंदे को उड़ जाने दो 

नयी नयी जगह उसे देख आने दो।

ना आने दो उन्हें जो दे जाये आँसू 

मत रोको उन्हें जो दिल को कर जाये बेकाबू।

जब आँख मिलाओगे तो जानोगे किसमे हैं तुम्हारा सपना 

जब हाथ मिलाओगे तो जानोगे एहसास जो हैं अपना।

FROM HEART WITH LOVE

Happy Love Week and A Very Happy Valentines Day (in advance or depends when you are reading this). Since it is a love week so it is obvious that this update is all about love.
We all wish our love stay happy and safe forever because we cannot afford to see him/her sad and we do not want to lose them forever. Gosh! the thought of losing love it self is breath taking.
This is not a hardcore love poem, it is all about what you wish and what you pray for your love "from heart with love."

                           FROM HEART WITH LOVE

I wish I see your face

Everyday I wake up.

I will wonder how you manage to look so good

Without any make up

I don't know I'll be there with you everyday

Or may be I'll go in sky one day.

No matter where I am

I want to see you safe and healthy.

This I pray from my heart with love

I want you to stay the way you are

Cheerful and bubbly that's how you are.

You smile I smile, You cry I cry

You stop but I don't until your teardrop gets dry.

Holding you is my only relaxation

Feeling your breath is the ultimate sensation.

No matter where I am

I want to see you smiling and happy.

This I wish from my heart with love

RAAH PATA NAHI

Everyone wants to fly everyone wants to rule but not everyone knows "How to". Many do not know their path, they just walk somewhere with illusion in their eyes which leads them to nowhere.They do what they are asked to do as a result they cry they curse and they feel lost in life.
In short they just "do not know their path".

         RAAH PATA NAHI

            राह पता नहीं।

जाना है दूर पर राह का पता नहीं
जो रास्ता दुसरो ने बताया वो अब तक जँचा  नहीं।
फिर भी बढ़ रहा हूँ उसी राह पर

क्यूंकि खुद की राह का कुछ पता नहीं।

इन राहों पर काटे बहुत हैं
इतनी मशक्कत करने की चाहत नहीं।
इस राह पर आखें भी बंद नहीं कर सकता
पर सोने की आदत अभी तक गयी नहीं।

मंजिल तो पता हैं मुझे
पर उसका फायदा क्या हैं?
और जिस राह पर चल रहा हूँ
उससे मुझे कोई आशा कहाँ हैं।

छोटे छोटे कदम बढ़ा कर बढ़ रहा हूँ
काँटों पे चलते चलते अब थोड़ा थक सा गया हूँ।
फिर भी बढ़ रहा हूँ उसी  राह पर
क्यूंकि खुद की राह का कुछ पता नहीं।

               HARA NAHI BAS KUCH THAK SA GAYA HOON

                       हारा नहीं बस कुछ थक सा गया हूँ ।

        बार बार ठोकर  खा कर गिर रहा हूँ

        रास्ता हैं मुश्किल  किसी तरह चल रहा हूँ ।

        हाँ रुका हूँ मैं अभी

        पर ये सफ़र ख़तम नहीं हुई हैं ।

        ऐ आसमां  में बैठे चाँद

        तू क्यों मेरे घावों को देख हँस रहा हैं 

        तू खुद दागों से भरा हैं ये क्यों भूल रहा हैं ।

        हाँ मैं जल रहा हूँ तेरी तपिश में सूरज

        पर तुझे क्यों सुकून मिल रहा है

        मैं तो अभी जल रहा हूँ

        तू तो हर वक़्त जलता है ये क्यों भूल रहा है।

        ये ज़मी भी मेरे पैरो  के नीचे  पत्थर दे

        ना जाने क्यों खुश हो रही हैं

        भूल रही है जो मेरे पैरो  के नीचे  धूल  सा हैं

        वो हर वक़्त तेरे सिर पे बैठा है ।

        हाँ इन सब चोटों से थोड़ा ठहर सा गया हूँ

        पर मैं हारा नहीं बस कुछ थक सा गया हूँ।
