F.R.I.E.N.D.S

Oh Yes! my memory recalled,

As i was holding the cup of tea,

How sweet it used to be,

When it was shared with "Thee".

We might not be BFF's,

We may not have shared cards,

But with "thee" it was all,

Nothing but days & nights of endless laughs,

And that was all that mattered,

A friendship just pure and true,

A frienship without any expectations,

The one, which, in every moment grew.

A friendship needing no proofs,

No oceans to cross, no hills to climb,

Just an assurance when we are sad & lonely,

We'll find a hug holding us tight.

Can't recall any big moments either,

Nothing which the world might claim to be insane,

It was all as Simple as,

A game in snow or a walk in rain.

We've been together

Together FRIENDS for so long,

Rhyming to our tune,

And dancing to our song...:)

HAPPY FRIENDSHIP DAY...:D

The Last memory

I remember it being a long long walk,

When in the heat, my body shivered,

I remember it being so clam and quite,

That I could hear what the air whispered.

Oh! I remember I was dull and I cried,

Yes I remember we didn’t fight,

But I fail to recall that something important,

Which went wrong but had to be right.

This..This was my last memory,

Last time I ever saw you,

Last time when you dropped me home,

You stayed outside as I walked inside alone.

The sun was setting in the sky,

I remember us saying our set of “Byes”

But I wanted to see you again,

And I just saw you again.

We met, we walked, we talked,

All nightmares were suddenly lost.

I could feel my heart getting lighter and happy,

As I sensed the disappearance of the troubled ghost.

And hence there is the last memory of you,

All happy and cheerful like a morning dew.

I would rather never see you again,

Which might give a chance to last memory to change.

Words Left Unspoken

There i was sitting next to the window,

Watching the dark sky turning yellow,

Trying to recount, the numerous times,

Those unspoken words crossed my mind.

Words I held back for so long,

Words I just failed to say,

Words which flowed with me all through,

But left just before i touched the bay.

Words which said I missed You,

But failed to express how,

And when silence prevailed all over,

They kept ringing in heart quite loud.

I saw summer passing by,

Tans fading, highlights getting dark,

But those unsaid words kept 

Haunting every minute of arc.

The words were as complex as I Love,

And as simple as I Cared,

But so afraid to loose you,

I guess I didn't Dared.

As I see sand moving down the hourglass,

I reflect back and wonder,

How different would this life be,

If only those words weren't left unspoken.

सूरज की पहली किरण

चुपके-चुपके घने बादलों के,
बीच राह बना निकल,
उतरी आँगन में देखो वो,
सूरज की वो पहली किरण |


धीमे-धीमे फिर सुनहेरा सा हुआ,
आँगन का हर एक कोना,
कुछ देर पहले जो था चांदी सा रोशन,
अब चमक रहा जैसे हो पिघला सोना |


चहक-चहक खुश हुए पंछी,
पंख फैलाये उड़ चले अपनी दिशा में,
महक-महक खिल यूँ उठे गुल,
नज़ाकत से अंगड़ाई भर फैलाई खुशबु फिजा में |


बंद झरोके से फिर दबे पांव,
बढ़ी किरण पर मुड़ी वहां,
पलकें मूँद कुछ आँखे,
एक सपना संजों रही थी जहाँ |

पास पहुँच उन आखों को,
यूँ नरमी से सहलाया,
कि बरसों खोये हुए सपनों को,
एक आशा का दीप हो दिखाया |

भूली -बिसरी यादों की राहें

भूली -बिसरी यादों की राहों पर

जब मुड़े तो यूँ लगा जैसे

हर एक कदम कोई दास्ताँ

कह रहा हो जैसे....

कहीं ख़ुशी के अनगिनत रंगों से

सजी रंगोली दी दिखाई

तो किसी कोने में अनकहे लम्हों की

छाप छोड़ गयी गम की सियाही

फिर..

थोड़ी दूर कहीं दिखे कुछ सपने

तितर-बितर इधर-उधर बिखरे हुए

जब पहुंची नजदीक यूँ सिमट घेरा मुझे

मानो हर सपना सच होने की

ख्वाहिश  कर रहा हो जैसे….

भूली -बिसरी यादों की राहों पर

जब मुड़े तो यूँ लगा जैसे

हर एक कदम कोई दास्ताँ

कह रहा हो जैसे....

चाहत तो थी कि यादों के साए में गुम

हर अधूरे सपने को

नील गगन में तारों सा टिमटिमाते देखूं

पर सोचा...

ज़िन्दगी कि इस भागदौड़ में

छूटे-टूटे सपनो के लिए था वक़्त कहाँ

कहाँ थी फुर्सत उनको संजोकर, सहेज कर रखने कि

सोचते हुए महसूस हुई कुछ नमी सी आँखों में  

मानो हर अधुरा सपना आंसू बन

अलविदा कह गया हो जैसे ….

भूली -बिसरी यादों की राहों पर

जब मुड़े तो यूँ लगा जैसे

हर एक कदम कोई दास्ताँ

कह रहा हो जैसे....
