my tryst with hindi...(part1)

had written the following at different junctions of life...some were sms that I had sent,many (rather most) were part of mails I used to send a friend and the others just random thoughts -all straight from the heart!

(ps: mucho apologies to all those hindi/urdu 'stars' urf 'poets'...have never claimed mastery over the same although some words just cannot be expressed in any other language!)

kya kare......jaan atki hai is kaidkhaane mein.

Ud bhi nahi sakte aur bhaag nikal

bhi nahi sakte ....

Yeh na poocha kabhi humse

ki humne kya khoya hai

Bas yunhi maan liya tumne

ki humne paaya hai....

Kya humne banaya voh humara nahi?

To phir kyun lagta hai ki hum the jaha

ab bi hai vahi........

Yeh maahol hume maar daalega,

aur hum khakh kya jee rahe hai?

Zindagi se badkar hai humara zameer....

par jab zindagi hi na ho,

to hum kya cheez hai!

(written when i was really frustrated with office!)

Hai tumhe pyaar

ki na koi kadar

paagalpan pe utar aaye hum,

teri chaah mein o bekhabar....

dil se aah nikli meri

jab gusre ham teri dagar….
**********************************************
Jhuki hui nazron ne kya ada chala di

Hum baithe rahe intezaar mein in hoton ki

Par aapki aankhon ne har baat keh di…
************************************************
Hum mashoor na sahi…

shayar to ho gaye

tumne kya jadoo kar diya,

hum hum na reh paye….

***********************************************

zindagi mein log bahut mile

kuch pyar kuch 'fool' khile

magar kasam us khuda ki

aap jaise paagal bahut kam mile!

tera mail dekha

poem pada

...par...

zubaan se labs na aaye

dil bhar aaya

aankh bhar aayi.

..kyunki...

tere jaisa yaar laakh duaon ke baad aaye

(for a dear dear friend called 'S')

*******************************************************

Aap aur aapka cell, kabhi saath nahi hote...

Voh hoti to aapka mere sms pe reaction kaisa hota,

Aap kuch baat par hairan hote,

aur kuch baat par kitne haste...

Aap hote to voh aise maayoos na hoti...

(A take-off on Mein Aur Meri Tanhayee ..a la Amitabh Bachchan)

*******************************************************

Purane dost mil gaye to naye bhula diye...

yaad bhi na aye to hum chale gaye...

Kisine poocha bhi nahi kahan ko chal diye

Kya laut ke aaoge yeh poochna bhi naseebwaale le gaye...

*******************************************************

jhoomti hui badalon ki yeh kahani

le gaye hume ek daur purani

barasne lage hum pe bhi woh barish aur uski dhun

ehsaas hua...ae ajnabee to socha...

is barsaat ke dil ki dhadkan bhi le sun...
