Rewind - June 2022

June was productive in terms of content creation. I am reciting my poetry in reels. I am feeling good about it. I wrote the following in June.

मुझे आज़माना अपने बुरे वक़्त में मेरे दोस्त 

मैं मौसम की तरह वफ़ा नहीं बदलती


इतनी कड़वाहट बातों में

कहाँ से लाती हो

घमंडी दोस्तों ने बनाया है

या खुद चने के झाड़ पर चढ़ जाती हो


अंग्रेजी पियो या देशी 

शराब दुःख बहार लाती है, कम नहीं करती

फ़िक्र मुझे इस बात की है 

कि मैं डूब गई तो तुम्हारा सहारा कौन बनेगा

ऐ दिल थोड़ा खुद पे रहम

थोड़ा खुद पे ए'तिबार कर

जितना औरों से किया उम्र बार

एक बार खुद से उतना प्यार कर

06/23/2022

आप रहने दीजिये

ये इश्क़ आपके बस की बात नहीं

मुझे उम्र भर का चाहिए

हफ्ते, दो हफ़्तों का साथ नहीं


Aap rehne dijiye

Ye ishq aapke bas ki baat nahi

Mujhe umar bhar ka chahiye

Hafte, do hafte ka saath nahi

लगता है अपनों को समझाने की कोशिश 

उसने आज भी काफी की 

उसकी आवाज़ में सुकून कम 

सिलवटें बहुत ज़्यादा थी


Lagta hai apno ko samjhane ki koshish

Usne aaj bhi kaafi ki

Uski awaaz mein sukoon kam

Silvaten bahut zyada thi

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
