Rewind - August 2020

August was a very good month. There was a lot I learned from personal experience which I will imbibe in the journey to be a better human being. I also realized the importance of a healthy enviornment. Cutting ties with toxic people and places has been the greatest learning of August. On the writing front, or, writing-for-pleasure front, I wrote the following:

जिस दिन से तुम मिले हो 

कमबख़्त रातें कटती ही नहीं 


Jis din se tum mile ho

Kambakhat raatein katti hi nahi

08/06/2020

कुछ किस्से नए से हुए 

पुरानी यादों को ताज़ा करके 


Ishq kahan samajh aayega un logo ko

Jo sirf jism dekhte hai


इश्क़ कहाँ समझ आएगा उन लोगों को 

जो सिर्फ जिस्म देखते है 

08/12/2020

इंटरनेट पे बोलने वाले भी कमाल करते हैं 

बिना कुछ जाने चरित्र पे सवाल करते है


Internet pe bolne wale bhi kamaal karte hain

Bina kuch jaane charitr pe sawaal karte hai

हे रब

कुछ उल्टा हो जाए

लोगों के मुँह बंद हो

पर दिल खुल जाए


He rab

Kuch ulta ho jaaye

Logon ke munh band ho

Par dil khul jaaye

काफी मिलती-जुलती है उसकी मेरी आदतें

हम दोनों ज़िद के लिए इश्क़ छोड़ सकते हैं

08/17/2020

वैसे खामोशी सुकून देती है

पर जब आप चुप रहते हो दिल छलनी हो जाता है


Waise khamoshi sukoon deti hai

Par jab aap chup rehte ho dil chhalni jo jata hai

रिझाना कितना आसान है

आपको जनाब

चंद लफ़्ज़ कागज़

 पे उतारेंगे

और बेहक़ जाओगे आप


Rijhana kitna aasaan hai

Aapko janaab

Chand lafz kaagaz pe utarenge 

Aur behak jaaoge aap

Being Human

Under the roof of winter, Latches of my door open without making a sound. It's cold out there, Someone lost his ground. My soul shivers, Not that I'm cold. Someone from my land, Sleeps under the bridge while dreaming of gold. How can I... tuck myself in the quilt? When the winter storm is blowing, Hopes they have built. I have to get up, Do something... Before I start questioning who am I? And, they start saying...'Humanity dies.' Let's work out something, Take a resolution. Walk across all kinds of bridges, And, just be human... From centuries people are migrating for work or for better opportunities. But, not everyone has a smooth sailing...some live under miserable conditions. Most heart wrenching fact is nobody helps them, not even people from their own countries. I know, everybody is busy chasing the bigger purpose of life. But don't you think we should help people in need? Let's try to be better human being...

I Am Not Alone

Last year blessed me, He walked silently into my life. It was Love, That took me in its stride. One evening we walked holding hands, Then, I told him what I felt in heart. He said we were one soul, Who were living in parts. To bring the parts together, We fought with the world and tied the knot. Being one soul, Gave life a whole new spot. Chirping birds, floating clouds, Nature conspired for us. Always swimming against the tide, Life was in an adrenaline rush. This year cursed me, He walked silently out of my life. It was Death, That took him in its stride.       Yesterday his soul was saying, Fearing memories will fade, he can’t move on. He will stay and admire me, Standing always by my side from dusk to dawn.

Rewind - September 2023

 I wrote the following in September. Sometimes, I feel I will forget the art of writing couplets because I am not writing at all this year. I strongly believe you have to practice to hone your craft. And I am not doing that. Perhaps I schedule a time to write a poem. Or I need better time management skills. Date Published 09/05/2023 मुझे उसके जाने का इतना अफ़सोस नहीं हुआ  जितना इस बात का कि इतने सालों तक उसे रहने ही क्यों दिया  Love, Saru
