A Thousand Thoughts


One thousand thoughts crossed my mind.
Yet, the heart is so empty within.

Surrounded by a thousand more men.
The spirit stays lonely.

A thousand blazing torches, yet the soul is so dark.

A thousand fine dresses yet reveal the scars.

Maybe I cried a thousand times, yet the pain remains.

A thousand morning suns, yet the soul sleeps.

A thousand miles of plane but the path so steep.

Many more thousand names and no identity.

A thousand more births to take to reach the divine entity.

Died a thousand deaths yet the heart beats.

Danced to a thousand tunes and no feet.

Answered a thousand questions yet not revealed.

A thousand teardrops yet the smile not concealed.

A thousand quiet nights with chaos within.

I write a thousand times still my thoughts dwell in.

From Fame to a Flame

It was like music when it rained. Pretty amusing when I gained. Very abusing when it dawned, That all of it; was a game. I heard the music when it rained. I sip on gold, I sip on fame, My own desires in a frame, My all emotions in a flame, I should have known, it wasn’t water when it rained! I think, I say. I say, I think. I was so thoughtful before it came. And I wanted to dance, when it rained. I thought you heard. I called your name. All my love, All in vain. I was so happy when it rained. Now I am still. Now I am cold. I lose all power that I hold. And now I am desperate. Now in drain. I long for that music when it rained. I fooled myself in the fooling game. I heard the music when it rained.

भ्रम

ना हो कर भी तुम मौजूद हो यहाँ, सुन सकते हो जो मैंने मनन में कहा, किसी और की परछाई में भी जब तुम दिखो, कुछ और नहीं ये मेरा भ्रम ही तो है । ये मेरा भ्रम ही तो है जो मैं आज भी, रातों में रहती हूँ जागती, कहती रहती हूँ जो तब ना कहा, सुनती हूँ तुमको मैं आज भी । इस दुनिया में अब तुम्हारा निशान ना कोई, अपनी यादों को मैं भूलती गयी, मिटा कर सारे निशां दुखों के, तुम्हे भूल जाना मेरा भ्रम ही तो है । इस दिन से हर साल मैं भागती, ना आये तू याद ये दुआ मांगती, ना आएगा याद तू, ये सोचना, ये सोचना मेरा भ्रम ही तो है ।

Ambition’s Long Race

To start with, career, ambition, job, promotion, salary hike and high position in any organization, are the requirements of life that take the priority seats and everything else has to travel third class. The competition, from scoring high marks in schools, colleges, to having a successful career, great paying job and high position in a company, is never ending. One never has enough of anything. We always want more. Sometimes want what others have. Sometimes want to build something of our own. And often end up dissatisfied with ourselves, our own hard work, and doubt our own potential. Who and what to blame? The world only recognizes the competitors and achievers. All the others can live in misery and without an identity. So, where is all this competition taking us? To best positions, to best jobs, to best pay scales or most desirable careers? Actually, mostly to a psychiatrist’s chamber or even hospitals. No, not joking or being a pessimist. It is so common these days that young p...
