Kalam

Mai kalam hu!
haan.. haan mai kalam hu..
tum hath ghumate ho,
aur mai tumhare tal se tal milakar – likhta challa jata hu..

Haan.. mai kalam hu!
tumhare khushi me khush,
tumhare dukh me dukhi mai ho jata hu,
tumhare dil ke har rang ko – mai kagaz ke panno par lekar aata hu..!

Haan mai kalam hu!
Khoon ki ek bund bhi nahi lagti hai mujhpe,
magar insaan ko puri tarah se
tood ne ki takat mai rakhta hu..!

Talwaro se lakh zindagiya
tabah ho magar
dil ke har taklif ko dur karne ki
takat lekar mai chata hu..!

Haan mai kalam hu….!

Aabhiman nahi garv hai mujhe
aapne iss fitrat pe ..
bina kuch bole hi mai
lakho ko sunna ne ki kabiliyat rakhta hu

Haan mai kalam hu…!

Na shabd mere hote hai,
na hote hai mere sawal jawab.
Mai toh hu ek mehanti gulam,
aur mere lekhak hi hai mere nawab..!

Issi soch ko lekar mai,
aapna jeewan guzar leta hu…
mai kalam hu mere yaaro,
lo, aaj mai aapni ye dasta tumhe sunata hu…!

Haan mai wahi kalam hu jo humesa sath tumhare rehta hu…!

A letter to you…

How do I cage you?
Into words ….
That will sleep,
in a book closed tight,
and will soon go out of sight!

How do I cover you?
For your potential – is far beyond.
Which guard do I order,
to ensure you do not ponder?

Like a butterfly,
wondering in search of something good,
you keep jumping-
wherever you could!

I am scared of
the plight you take,
I am worried of the outcome,
it will make.

Sharp as knife,
bold as fire.
how do I curtail,
your sapphire?

Oh mind… oh mind
your travel tires me,
a small gap of break,
and you are set out on –
an imaginary spree…!

Can we sit and talk?
Decide once and for all..
I want to slowly walk,
and you want to run out at every call…!

We need to settle for once,
at a suitable speed..!
I hope all that I am writing –
makes sense when you read.

So this time – on our date
let’s sit and talk.
oh and no escaping –
and do not act like you are shocked!

I’m listing my complaints -for us to resolve.
You can come up with yours.
Let’s be each other’s doctor
and come up with the cures…!

Don’t be quick to wake a hi !
don’t leave without saying a bye…
When someone you hate speaks –
do not show your emotions with a sigh!

Don’t assume they will know,
don’t be afraid of emotions to show.
Don’t judge by what they say,
don’t get fooled – by their way…!

Don’t hide your tears,
don’t run from your fears.
Don’t bury your dreams,
don’t shut your screams…!

Don’t laugh just for the sake
no one is worth the take.
Don’t stick when it pricks,
some cracks – do not have a fix…!

Don’t hurry to win it all
don’t be ashamed when you fall.
If you are tired of running, just rest
you are expected to live your life
and you get to the decide – what for you is the best…!

Don’t let others tell,
what you did well.
For only you know better
how many times you fell…!

Don’t look happy –
when you are not.
It is okay for people to know
that you have fought…!

It is your life,
and you do not need to hop…!
Experience it all here
even if it means – you have to stop.

Hold on while you can,
For most of your life, you have already ran!
Take a stroll and enjoy every emotion
please always remember –
that YOU are a worth creation…!

Let’s talk… Dad

I fell down
And you held me
Wiping my tears
You taught me how to fight my fears…

I crawled, walked and finally ran
When I turned back, I saw you
Cheering and clapping
Saying, come on my child – you can..!

I never asked –
How have you been?
For no one more stronger
Than you, I have seen…!

When days were hard
And ends were very tough to be met
You ensured I had enough of everything
And you – were hungry yet…!

When I had to lean
You gave me your shoulder
When I became weak
You made me stronger and bolder…!

You never said, you loved me
But your actions said it all.
You were ready to sleep on the ground
To ensure I do not ever fall…!

Never did I make any efforts
To know your path and pain
But I always silently noticed
The wrinkles on your forehead caused by the stress and strain…!

I knew you wont share your story
For you fear, it will reduce your glory
But to me you will always be the same
Struggle and loss are just a part of the game…!

So today dad,
Lets come a step closer
Lets peep a bit deeper
Lets talk a bit longer…!

I have always seen you bare the load
I suggest you pass some to me
Together we can pull it better, may be
Give me a chance and we will see…!

I love you dad
Let me say it loud
I am proud to have you in my life
For you are the best man in my life’s crowd..!

The bicycle of your relation
Needs a bit of oiling
Lets release off the tension
Come on Paa, lets have a chat,
the weather is wet outside and
the tea to accompany our chat is hot and boiling…
