Be-naam Nazm

Likhne ko main aaj bhi likhti hoon lekin, 
Zehan mein ab kisika chehra nahi aata.

Be-matlab se hain yeh alfaaz mere, 
Inhe padhke ab kisika aks nazar nahi aata.

Khamosh si padhi rehti hai kalam kone mein, 
Shabh dhaley ab koi khayaal nahi aata.

Deedar-e-yaar ko tarse hai nigaah magar 'Nazneen',
Door talak ab yaar ka wajood nazar nahi aata.

Bahut mauke diye the tumhe....

Bahut mauke diye the tumhe mujhe rokhne ke liye,
Tum na jaaney kis masroofiyat* me uljhe hue the.

Bahut manaya tha maine apne dil ko ki rukh jau.
Tum na jaaney kis naraazgi ke shikaar hue the.

Bahut se khwaab piroye the un chaar dino me maine,
Tum na jaaney kis khwaab ke peeche deewane hue the.

Bahut koshish ki halat-e-marasim ko badalne ki maine,
Tum na jaaney kin halaaton se majbur hue the.

Bahut haseen the woh din ye jaanti hu main,
Tum na jaaney kyun kuch roothe hue se the.

Bahut peeche chodh ayi thi main tumhe us roz,
Tum na jaaney kyun aaj bhi lautne ki aas liye hue the.

Bahut mauke diye the tumhe mujhe rokhne ke liye,
Tum na jaaney kis masroofiyat me uljhe hue the.

Ek Awaaz Uthakar to Dekho

A poem in wake of the Delhi gang rape case. It's for those you think that this issue is related to particular person or a region. This might not help but collectively, we can make a difference.

'Ek Awaaz Uthakar to Dekho'

Kab talak yeh sochkar chhup rahogey,
Ki uss ghar mein aag lagi hain.

Pata bhi na chalega aur,
Ek chigaari tumhaarey ghar bhi aa gireygi.

Royoge bahut, chillaogey tab;
Naa ayega jab koi,
Tab shayad yeh dard samajh paoge.

Aag chaahei'n jaha'n lagey,
Iski lapet mein har koi giraft hota hain.

Aaj gar na roka isse,
Kal tumhara ghar bhi sulag jayega.

Aao aaj awaaz uthayei'n;
Kisi ek ke khaatir nahi,
Janhit ke khaatir, hum ek ho jaayei'n.

Hain asar bahut awaaz-e-awaam mein,
Khud ko kamzor samajhne ki bhool na karna.

Har-su badlega yaha'n ik roz,
Tum fakt ek awaaz uthakar to dekho.

Arz Kiya Hai...


A few of my shers for the shayari lovers!

Raat ka ye rumaani alam aur dil ki ye tanhaai,
Mat puch ae 'Nazneen', 
Is pal dil ko kiski yaad ayi!


Badla khudko uske khaatir is tarah 'Nazneen',
Khade ho ab aaene ke saamne,
Apna hi wajood dhundti hu.

Waqt ke khanjar ki ye talaash khatam to ho,
Bahut jee chuki ae 'Nazneen',
Ab maut se mulakaat to ho!

Do pal ki thi gar wo khushi 'Nazneen',
Gam bhi fir yeh muktasir hi hai.

Yunhi ek birha ki raat hum bhi miley the,
Yunhi auro ki tarah maine bhi kayi sapney bunne the.
Laut gaye ik roz tum un sapno ko tod kar,
Jee rahi hu mai un tukdo ke aks peero kar.

Guzarte hai jo raaste dil ki raahon se,
Untak woh pahuchte nahi.
Bebasi-e-hyaat hai kaisi ae 'Nazneen',
Milti hu har raat khwabo me unhe,
Haqeeqat me jo mujhse milte nahi.

Nind nahi ayi ankhon me meri,
Khwabo ko mere jabse tune alvida keh diya.

Ae rehguzar ishk ye ek karwaan hi to h,
Zindagi na khona fakt in do palo k liye.

Tum kya jaano hijr ki raaton ka nazaara 'Nazneen',
Sath khwabo me wahi hota h, hakeekat me jo paas nai!

Wo chauraahein dikha do.. 
Jo us raste le jaati h,
Laut gaya tha yaar mera jaha se..
God me meri ruswaiya daal ke.

Shor

Shor sa tha bahut in kaano me,
Dil me ek be-chaini si thi.
Socha band kar du us awaaz ko,
Par na jaane wo awaaz kiski thi?
Band hui wo awaaz,
Sath ankhein bhi meri band ho gayi,
Nadaan thi mai jo samajh na payi;
Shor na tha wo kisi gair ka,
Awaz wo meri apni hi sanso ki thi.

Value of Love


Love is a highly misused word in today’s century. People seldom understand the depth & meaning of love. Love has many facets & meanings. Meaning of love changes in every phase of life. For a child, mother’s hug is love; for a teenager, having a partner is love; for an adolescent, having commitment is love & for an old person, companionship is love.

 Love is multifarious. Every facet has something to give, as love always gives. Understanding love takes a lot of time. As the old saying goes, "A lost thing is cherished even more.”  Same is with love. One realizes the value of love after it’s lost and loss paves way for regret and regretting anything is futile.

Love is the most cherish-able feeling in the world. Expressing and communicating are the two most important aspects in keeping love intact. Taking love for granted is a very common trait these days. True love has faded away. Meaning of love has changed enormously. In olden days love used to be timeless and these days love has become time-pass.

Valuing a person in his presence is sensible than loosing him and then realizing his worth. The moment is now and it will never come back again. Letting go off a valuable thing is utter foolishness. Express your feelings before its too late.

Time, Communication & Relationships


The world is shrinking as far as communication is concerned but this shrinking world has increased the radius of intimacy between relations. Everyone around is so engrossed in their own undertakings that they are unable to chalk out their priorities appropriately.

Like a sown seed needs continuous nurturing till it grows into a beautiful fruit bearing tree similarly relations too need continuous nurturing for their longevity. Giving time & communicating are the two integral nutrients required for a healthy relationship.

Relationships in today’s time keep going through stringent litmus tests. It has become difficult to maintain a healthy communication even amongst the closed ones. This is a cumulative result of various factors. The most common and toughest to deal with factors are lack of time and the ‘my space’ syndrome.

People fail to understand that communication is the essence of a relationship and cutting down on the communication, whether knowingly or unknowingly, leads to sourness in the relation which turns bitter after a certain time. To avoid this, one should prioritize the time in an efficient way. The ‘my space’ syndrome creates a lot of communication gap between people. Everyone wants there space but in getting/providing that, the essence of a relationship is lost. Communicating your feelings is essential in every relation.

Nobody has time until they decide to find it. Just giving an excuse for lack of time is effortless. When one tries and wants to be in touch with a person, he’ll find out time by any means. Life is uncertain and no one knows what’s going to happen the next moment. Loosing a person and then regretting makes no sense. One should take care of the relation when the person is there.
