ज्वालामुखी

मानव तू मुख है ज्वाला का
सब सोच समझ कर बोल
तेरी तपिश जला देगी पृथ्वी को
नयन ज़रा अब खोल॥

तुझे ज्ञान नही तुझमें सीमित
है बुद्धि और शक्ति अपार
तू स्वर्ग बना सकता धरती को
या कर सकता है तार तार॥

जिस कोख में तुने जनम लिया
जिस आँचल में तेरी पलनी
जिसको तू माता कहता है
कर रहा आज उसको छलनी?

जहाँ बहती थी नदियाँ दूध की
वहां बहती है अब लहू की धारा
मचा हुआ कोहराम चहुओर
त्राहिमाम करे है जग सारा॥

तुने देखी ममता है बस
नहीं सुना अभी भीषण हुंकार
मत बेबस कर माँ के मन को
करने को तेरा ही संहार..

The Train and the Station

"There was a train which used to go from one place to another daily.In between it halted at a few stations and it enjoyed its stay ,though for a very short while, very much. Everyday the train would stop at those stations and they had fun together.
As time progressed, the stations started to undergo some changes , new things which a few of them liked and a few did not.Slowly, they started feeling that they were not enjoying with the train anymore, The train being unaware of that would come daily ,stop for a while , try to have fun. It also started seeing signs of the same but thought the stations will be fine.The stations ,on the other hand started feeling more uncomfortable with the train and gradually all of them changed their names except one. That one was also undergoing similar changes , but it enjoyed its time with the train and hence tried to be as usual. The train would come daily , stop at the old stations with new names hoping they would want to get back together and then go to one that did not change. As time passed, the train started to realize that the old stations were not willing to change.So it stopped only that one station. The train and the station tried to have fun like the older days, but they both knew inside that times had changed a lot and it was not possible to keep everything same.
The train then one day changed its track and did not pass that station for long. Someday down the time, the train heard a man asking for that old station. It started thinking and realized that it was punishing the station for no reason. Despite the fact that the station tried to keep things same, the train had abandoned it. So it finally decided that no matter what it would always stop at that station. The station and the train never felt sad since then."

Castle of sand

castle of sand
----------------
I remember the first time
I touched your hand
And you touched mine
it felt so fine

As we walked the subway
You talked all day
Of which I couldn't get a word
Yet I loved it that way

Oh Dear, our first kiss
brought me the ultimate bliss
You said, I was the one
I knew my search was done

And the world seemed so nice
Lush green valleys with the bluish skies
I flowed in that stream
Hoping it was not another dream

Until the day, I heard you say
"I am not the one,
Anand, you please move on"
You left me in deep thought
Of what went wrong
And we talked on the phone
Arguing all days, long

I did not know what to do
To talk to whom,Where to go
As I tried to figure out
how easy 'twas for you

I drank bottles of that thing
And somked all the night
I lost the power to think
What was wrong what was right
In the rains,in the fogs
I walked the lonley roads
I wrote poems and sang songs
Plucking flowers,kissing thorns

Amidst crowds, I felt alone
I forgot my very own tone
Life seemed to be a huge lie
And I wished I could die
With only one truth in my hand
"I built a castle of sand"


.............I could not finish it because I was not in my senses, hope to complete it sometime.

STRUGGLE



When thing are not ur way;
Dont retreat,Oh Dear!!,there u stay;
u cry,u fight and pray;
while u see the moments pass away;

Come Hell or High Water,u keep on going;
the Aim's Oceans apart,keeep on rowing,
dont feel abject, You have to strive;
go on ,You, till the very end of LIFE.

Show ur heart,dont be Joe Bloggs
Gird up the loins n pull up Your socks
You have to struggle ,Oh Braveheart!!
with all ur kins leaving apart.

STRUGGLE is one truth ,u cant deny;
face it, as u have no other choice;
so,u have to think n have to apply;
and give ur best,and then u rejoice;

Oh TRAVELLER!!

The Road's endless,dont You ever rest;
You alone, with noone abreast;
so fight for Yourself and noone else;
as You pave Your path ,feel the essence;
the essence of victory..my frend;

as u make history ,n set new trends!!

मधुशाला को समर्पित मेरी कुछ पंक्तियाँ ...
------------------------------------

माँ का आँचल भी फीका है..
प्रेयसी का आलिंगन ढीला..
उन्मुक्त हुए तो भाव सभी ..
बस तेरी गोद में मधुशाला!


उत्सव की ज़रुरत उनको है
जिसने न चखी हाय हाला
वो तो जलसों में डूबा है
जो नित दिन जाए मधुशाला

छेड़े ह्रदय में मधुर तान
जब गिरती प्यालों में हाला
गाये राग दीप, मल्हार, राग सब
एक ही सुर में मधुशाला!

वो खुद से बातें करता है
वो खुद से करता है खेला
वो ही इश्वर..वो स्वयम भक्त
जो पूजता जाए मधुशाला!

क्या है मिथ्या क्या परम सत्य
ये भूल चूका पीने वाला
उसकी नज़रों में एक ही शिव
सुन्दर भी एक वो मधुशाला!
