Shayari bhool gaya hu main


लफ्ज़ों के सहारे अक्सर मुशायरे जीत लिया करते थे
पर अब तो जैसे खंडहरों का बुत हो गया हूँ मैं,
शायरी भूल गया हूँ मैं।

यूँ तो हमने लोगों से हमेशा ही नज़रें चुराईं थी
लेकिन दीदार-ए-दुनिया से नफरत का अब आलम और है
घर से सिर्फ मस्ज़िद तक ही चहलकदमी हुआ करती थी पहले
पर अब तो जैसे वो रास्ता भी भटक गया हूँ मैं,
शायरी भूल गया हूँ मैं।

बना के खुदा तुझे, खुद तेरे आगे नाचीज़ हो गया
ये बोल के एक दिन खुदा से भी उलझ बैठा यूँ तो
ज़िंदादिली इतनी थी के जहन्नुम में मुस्कुराते शायद
पर अब तो जैसे साँसें भुलाने में मशगूल हो गया हूँ मैं,
शायरी भूल गया हूँ मैं।

2 Corinthians 6:2

I will kill him tonight. A person who has never done any wrong. I will crush him quick, and drain him dry. He has longed for this day, and for so long. His sin was he loved, he cared. Now he will be thumped for this, and dazed. I tried to stall him, as for this, he was to be slayed. Salvation will be hurled upon him, as his arrogance always prevailed. Enacting the hangman, I will carry the death to him. But the sinner resides in my own soul, hence I will, solely, be the victim.

Happiness is..

Lazy weekend afternoon. It's 45°C outside. I cant do anything but to sit tight inside my room and waste some hours. Just when I realize I should pick on my dead blog this summer as no adventure is waiting for me in this steamy hot weather. Umm.. so here I go. ---------------------------------x-------------------------------x---------------------------- Few days ago I was in a nearby restaurant having my dinner. A family of four took their entrance. The couple in their mid-30s and two daughters. They seem very subtle to me in first glance. Nobody was wearing nothing fancy. And they all were happy. They weren't smiling but you could tell by reading their face or the composure that they were one happy family. Manager's cabin was a few steps away from my table. After ordering from menu (each member went through with the list and ordered the cuisin of their choice), the husband, or let just continue with the word father, got up and marched towards the manager's

Have you ever been in love?

Have you ever been in love? The kind of love that lasted for years. The kind of love where you spent a lifetime together yet you didn't know each other. The kind of love where you knew about each-other's friends, family and everything else but you also knew that there is something missing in between you two. The kind of love in which you had so many questions in your head but no responses, and so much to respond but nobody to notice. The kind of love where you did everything one should do to keep the feelings in motion yet you stood still. The kind of love where there was a smile on your face but deep inside you were just a hollow-being. Have you ever been in love? The kind of love that didn't last longer than a summer. The kind of love that felt like a chilling breeze piercing through your heart, melting your brain like some fierce flare, outpouring your soul like a drizzle on your face. The kind of love where you wanted to surrender yourself to your better-half. No
