चलता हूँ थोडी दूर हर एक तेज़रो के साथ
पहचानता नहीं हूँ अभी राहबर को में

I do not have any advice for you, I am as good or as bad or as confused as you are, Neither do i have anything to teach i myself is trying to figure out ways, in fact i cannot even guide a kid. Nothing of mine will fit anyhow (i may increase your confusion) what ever will fit you will not need words it will any way transfer to you, just by seeing, but yes i can tell you someplace which may have the answer to your quest, go to your heart, it knows... all . While laughing look at it while crying look it, before anything seek its permission and you will see it silently/calmly guide you. Like a yogi sitting at one place roam different worlds.

बहुत से खज़ाने हैं अभी खामोश
कान सुन नहीं पाते सदा उनकी हनोज़
The sound of the violen pierces my heart and blood oozes out as if the wire is being rubbed on my heart leaving a trail of blood where the wire passes from, making a passage deeper into my heart, which I can take someday and explain what I saw when I entered my heart some day.
Music is God speaking to me.

The thought to freedom enthrals me
the reach of a poet enthrals me
Freedom is the final frontier,
I become God when I comprehend freedom,
it starts entering in me and oozing out at the same time
my body hair stand on tip in salutation to the mighty expression
and nothing is visible or audible,
its all quite like the deep forest
Pin-drop silence
This cant be conveyed - only transferred.
With Love to my lesser self

मरासिम
देखिया मौत के मायने बदलिए
ज़िंदगी और मौत के मरासिम समझिये
बड़ी मुख्तसर सी बात है जनाब
अगर दिन न हो तो किसे कहें रात ,
मरना और जीना , एक हुनर की बात है ,
वो हुनर बिरले ही किसी को हासिल है ,
एक दूजे के कायल है ये ,
जो जिए शान से वो मरे शान से ,
बस एक अपना सफर है ये ,
सिर्फ अपनी बात होती है ,
जो जीना सीख ले अपनी तरह से ,
वो मौत से फिर शिक़ायत क्यों करे
मौत को दावत तो दीजिए ,
फिर ज़िंदगी के मजे देखिए
जब मौत के करीब ज़िंदगी जायेगी
तब खुद को थोड़ा समझ पायेगी
बच बच के भाई कुछ न होगा
बाहर कुछ है ही नहीं बचने लायक
सोच का फेर है सारा जहाँ और
खुद से कोई बचा नहीं अब तक

मेरी ताक़त में तेरा ज़ओफ़ भी शामिल है
मेरे दिनों में थोडी रात भी शामिल है
जब हँसता हूँ बेधडक ज़रा गौर से देख
इन आखों की चमक में थोड़ा अश्क भी शामिल है
फिक्र ऐसी जहाँ की सब उठाय हैं फिरते
लगता है सब सबों में शामिल हैं
मेरी तौबा पर जो हो शिकेब इतने
आगाज़ इसमे नई लत का शामिल है
देख कर तुझे जो मुझे फिर कुछ न दिखा
हुस्न में तेरे मेरी सोच भी शामिल है
हाय ! सोचा न था गुजरूँगा इस राहगुज़र से भी
इस हाल में माज़ी तो क्या मेरा मुस्तकबिल शामिल है
मेरे दिनों में थोडी रात भी शामिल है
जब हँसता हूँ बेधडक ज़रा गौर से देख

हुस्न तेरा अभी देखा कहाँ
जिसे अफवाह भी छू गयी वो यहाँ कहाँ
पर्दा जहाँ का यहाँ जाना कहाँ
दिखता है वो साफ पर दिखे कहाँ
मर्दों को ढूँढ रही है क्यामत की नज़र
साधे जो क्यामत को वो दस्त ओ बाज़ू कहाँ
कह कह न थके लोग तन्हाई के किस्से
हम खोज में पागल यहाँ वक़्त कहाँ
पैसे चुका दीजिय पढिये औरों के नज़रिये
इल्म ए मोहब्बत की यहाँ फ़ीस कहाँ
जिसे अफवाह भी छू गयी वो यहाँ कहाँ

27/12/06 Ghalibs Birth Anniversary.
Delhi celebrated Ghalibs birth centenary on December 26 with a lot of fanfare. It made me feel good. As for me I celebrate Ghalib everyday. So many of his ghazals come to my mind when ever I imagine Ghalib walking in the by-lanes of ballimaran, but on his birth anniversary these couplets have a special significance,
“न था कुछ तो खुदा था कुछ न होता तो खुदा होता
डुबोया मुझको होने ने , न होता मैं तो क्या होता ”
“हुए मर के हम जो रुसवा हुए क्यों न गर्के दरिया
न कभी जनाज़ा उठता न कहीं मज़ार होता ”
These couplets show the deep desire to slip into oblivion, the state of nothingness. I do not know from where this inspiration comes to him, and the understanding of spirituality and the final goal of human life. Eventually it comes down to this that we reject every thing to reach a stage of nothingness, the absolute intelligence, be it a matter of several births or few.
But if this comes on it’s own to Ghalib - and he wasn’t exposed to spiritual texts- the beauty of the couplets gives us an idea of the unending vastness of what we call God. It’s strong in the sense that we can relate to the story of a boy who since birth was kept away from any sort of exposure to God, to prove that our sense of God comes from our surroundings. The boy was kept alone since birth on an island and was just observed. One morning to the surprise of the people, the boy, who was about 10 years old now, was seen doing surya namaskar. He was asked what he was doing the boy replied: this morning when I saw the sun something happened inside me and I bowed down. It means that all profound things come from such inner turmoil’s and are not figments of our imagination.
Ghalib’s poetry is about the deeper quests of life. His poetry can be made into a mantra which every time chanted can inspire writers to keep on writing amazing poetry. I somehow feel the reason he was here was to give us this- what he has given us in his poetry,
I read in a recent article in some people said regarding Ghalib’s personal life (his habit of drinking, relationships with women, gambling), that we should not be bothered by his personal life and that we should concentrate on his work. May I know why? His poetry, letters came from the kind of person he was. He was way beyond us. We are commoners in our thinking as compared to the thinking of that man, can’t we see the tremendous courage of that man who would do things openly. Can you imagine the freedom he enjoyed to do whatever he wished to do, and take world head on , saying “शायर to अच्छा par badnam bahut hai” I wonder how many elite poets of our age can forge friendship with a man in the street and be open about it, and mind you Ghalib’s pride can be compared to that of the King of the world. You cannot separate a man from his work. Ghalib, in his life and poetry is at times no less than a bare warrior standing alone in front of an army ready to fight. But his enemies were not visible enemies, and his wounds were not of the flesh. Nonetheless much deeper and painful.
Ghalib’s life in itself was poetry. It is both complex and very simple at the same time like the word ‘Love’. As in many places I see the ability of the man to gaze so deep as if a modern laser beam scanning the cosmos for a sign of life, and produce a couplet which suggests that life was there.
Meena kumari, who I feel should have been a full time poet rather than an actress said in one her poems “ jiska jitna daman tha utnee hee saugaat milee”
Now it really depends on your capacity how much you can take from Ghalib’s writing. Gulzar saab’s daman seems big as he was inspired to do that serial. There are many more for whom each couplet of Ghalib is like a sip of wine sipped after a long -long time.
“Jala hai jism jahan dil bhi jal gaya hoga
Kuredte ho jo ab rakh justju kya hai”
I am indebted to Ghalib for life. His Ghazals and whatever I have heard of him have touched the deepest core of my heart, only to reveal that it was not the deepest. His philosophy has guided me and keeps guiding me in all the stages of my life.

पलकों पे बेचैन मिलते है ख़्वाब हर सहर मेरे
और दिन गुज़रे पल पल, रहें खाली हाथ मेरे
शाम को चूर बदन लिए लौटता हूँ घर
चलती है खामोश खामोशी साथ मेरे
वाजिब है मेरी उम्मीद गम्खाव्हरी की क्या
जब हाथ पकड़ चलते गम साथ मेरे
फिक्र मुझे किसी की नहीं बस एक खू है
निशाँ खोजते हैं तेरे हवाओं में ख़्याल मेरे
आहिस्ता आहिस्ता चले तलवार गर्दन पर
और कलम ढूँढ़ते है हाथ मेरे
ख़ुशी तुझे मिलती है ग़र मेरी बिगड़ी पर
मौका क्यों ये गवाए फिर लब मेरे
चांदी की ठंडक में है छुपा कहीँ आफताब
इस खामोशी में दफ़न हैं कितने नाले मेरे

One Morning ...
Today I walked with a butterfly
I saw it around me, when I wanted to cry
My tears stopped in the way,
as I watched it dancing on its way
It went around me as if it had something to say
I too was locked to as if to hear it say
It was bright and beautiful and a perfect blend of speed and grace
I was awestruck with some thing as simple as butterfly
Nothing was said and nothing was heard,
Something un explainable had occurred
Something was transferred to me I knew
My tears had given a way to tranquility
After some time it went away,
May be to some other teary eyed on his way
I wonder, how can I ever forget that morning
When a butterfly had come to show me the way

बने एक राह सोने की जब अश्क हो चश्म में
चेहरा धुन्द्ला पडे है वक़्त के साथ तेरा
पर कुछ और भी ले उठा था दिल तेरी बज़्म में
क्या खेल है ये क्यों खेलता जा रह हूँ मैं
एक पल को जीता हूँ होता हूँ एक पल मे ख़त्म मैं
तनहाई से तंग था अब वोही ही अजीज़ है
जानने को चैन होता हूँ क्यों बेचैन मैं

Ganga, there is something about this river, its shores touches the soul when you are near its waters।
A weekend trip to उंचा गाँव (in march 2005 ) taken amidst a time full of tension for me, turned out to such memorable trip, feel of the village and ganga flowing on its outskirts. Those green fields, walk in the mango orchards, that pitch black sky with millions and trillions of stars, the bonfire has stayed in my heart, i think forever. Some unknown hand was helping, because the moments captured in some pictures on the banks of Holy Ganges shows me as carefree as a billioneres son in Bahamas, I feel renewed seeing that photo because the laugh on my face expresses freedom (like a ghost) inspite of the fact that i was troubled those days and my wife's presence tells i chose the perfect person to share my life with!

Home for the mind
In life there should few activities in life which a person would like to do, just do. He/she should not look for anything from that activity, just love doing it , if he has even one such activity it can absorb all his pain, and give him a lease of life, in true sense. I ideally all mans activities should be such, done for the love of it, no reason attached to it, the reason should be love and nothing else, or else convert the activities one has to this.
This place will be the home of mind, It reaches there and rests without any inhibitions and then reaches out to the universe coming out of its pettiness, because of this relaxation.
Make a home for mind. Its free. We have big houses for the servant (the body) but it can never relax till its master leaves it free, and master will let it go on a vacation when the master has nothing to do, and nothing to get done.
No wonder enlightenment is closer to a farmer, than a business man, to the secluded than the famous, to the poor than the rich.

जो ना हुआ वो था ही नहीं
आपके कायदे से चलते हैं
जो ना दिखे वो है ही नहीं
चलिए सुलह करते हैं
माहौल बनाए रखें तो हो सके है
अपनी बात कभी समझा पायें
जिन्दगी से निकले फलसफे हैं सबके
अपने फलसफे हमने मौत के बाद ही बनाए
आप हमे नज़रअंदाज ना करिये , ना हम आपको करेंगे
ये मज़ेदर जिरह जितनी चले यकीन उतना रवां हो जाये
वक़्त ऐसा भी वक़्त तय है , लगता है मुझे
जब हम दोनो ही अपनी कमअक्ली पर शरमायें
खैर बातें चलती रहेंगी , हकीकत देखिये
दोपहर हो चली है , कुछ चल कर खाया जाये
फिर ज़िक्र छेड़ेगें कुछ ऐसे मसाईलों का , शाम हो जायेगी
और तब हम आप से इन्तेज़ा करेंगे थोड़ी मय हो जाये
रात होते होते आपकी सोच में फरक आएगा
जो दोपहर तक न दिखता था थोडा नज़र आएगा
दोस्ती में हमारी थोडा इजाफा होगा ,
एक दूसरे को एक नई नज़र से देखा जाएगा, फिर
खुदा भी कुछ वक़्त हमारे साथ बिताएगा
सुबह के सूरज जब निकलेगा , हमारी शाम को ख़्वाब कहा जाएगा
फिर नए मदान ए ज़ंग पे पुराना खेल फिर खेला जाएगा

Jo azaadi hum ne jeete hai, dete hain tumhe bhi

Bahane lakon mil jayenge har cheez ke jahan mein

Apni baateen apne tak hee rakhen to behtar hai

Bin rukay shauke se chode chaloon sare thiknane
Ye firaq kahan le jayegi, ke tu hai kahin aage
Jo azaadi hum ne jeete hai, dete hain tumhe bhi
Sochiye kuch bhi milkar, par kahiye mere aage
Bahane lakon mil jayenge har cheez ke jahan mein
Kabhi yun ho sakta hai yun, aaina bol pade aage
Apni baateen apne tak hee rakhen to behtar hai
Mehfil mein kahoon to paon tanhai aage
Faqat Samajhne kee galti hum karte nahin ‘Azal’
Adoo-e-sharafat hai, muskuraten hai guftgoo ke aage
Azal
I am with you darling,
In the rains and the sunshine,
In the darkness and in light,
In sorrow and in laughter
in loneliness’, or in company
If I have come to experience life
My life does not exist without you
My painting is never complete without you
and my couplet is half without you
you and me makes me, me alone is half me.

गया लम्हा मेरा कब था
वहम है वो अब भी , जो था
सासें लगी थमने तब दिखा मुझे
जिंदा होना ही मेरा इश्क था
हो रहा है पुराना दिल में उसका सुरूर
वो प्याला शराब का जो कभी पिया था
ग़र कायदों का रखूँ हर लहजा ख़्याल
क्या होगा वजह का जो जीस्त के बदले दिया था
सर ने झुकने की सोची ना दिल ने उठने की कभी
छूता है दिमाग मेरा अब दिल में जो छुपा था
अज़ल

क्या कहूँ तुम से मैं के क्या है इश्क ,
जान का रोग है , बला है ishq .
इश्क ही इश्क है जहाँ देखो ,
सारे आलम में भर रह है इश्क .
इश्क माशूक इश्क आशिक है ,
यानी अपना ही मुब्ताला है इश्क .
इश्क है तर्ज़ -ओ -तौर इश्क के तईन ,
कहीं बन्दा कहीं खुदा है इश्क .
कौन मकसद को इश्क बिन पोहुंचा ,
आरजू इश्क व मुद्दा है इश्क ।
कोई ख्वाहन नहीं महाब्बत का ,
तू कहे जींस -ए -नारावा है इश्क .
Mir ji जारद होते जाते हैं ,
क्या कहीं तुम ने भी किया है इश्क ?
मीर तकी मीर

Ibtadaae ishq hai rota hai kya,
Aage aage dekhiye hota hai kya.
Qafile mein subah ke ek shor hai,
Yaani ghaafil ham chale sota hai kya.
Sabz hoti hi nahin yeh sar zamin,
Tukhm-e-khwahish dil mein tu bota hai kya.
Yeh nishaan-e-ishq hain jaate nahin,
Daagh chhaati ke abas dhota hai kya.
Ghairat-e-Yousaf hai yeh waqt-e-aziz,
Mir isko raigaan khota hai kya.

Kya manzil rakhoon dil tere aage
Kal aaj aur kal sab ek tere aage
Jhalak hai tujhe aane walee sadiyon kee
Jo sochoon mein vo kam tere aage
Mein bhag raha hoon yun aage kee soch kar
Tu kahe baith zara jaise phool suraj ke aage
Jis kuch ko maine tahe dil se chaha
Tera hee roop tha kisi aur shakl mein mere aage
Khayaal khoye to khojta hoon jaise mashook ko bhir mein
Achanak chain chaa jaye tere khayaal ke aage
Duniya mein hain bahut badi badi takaten
Sab kuch bekaar hai teri masoomiyat ke aage
Tujhme sab chupa hai dil mere, malum hai mujhe
Tere ashq kee ek boond hai, jaise khuda mere aage

What’s wrong with me, why I am seeing a poem in everything
Azal
My God, how tiring is the journey, from nowhere to nowhere, from here to here.
Azal
Eventually boldness decides who is going to be in the top, of any chain, bold ness is the first trait of the great, it has got little to do with money or power, it Is unto itself, but on the way it gathers all, because they cling to it, they are attracted to it, if you personalize money/success and view it as female you will see, nothing has changed from the prehistoric times, female is attracted to the bold, that’s another thing once it has it, it wants it only for herself, and tries to change the very fabric she was attracted to, but it needs to be kept at bay, ready to be pushed away always, climb, keep on climbing one peak to another, you will always find something to conquer because the real quest is beyond the planet, the quest of no-thing cannot be quenched with any- thing. Live by the desire of life.
Azal
Badguman kabhi Husn gar kar bhi jaye
Dil kaid na kabool kare gar hum maan bhi jaye
Mushtaq nazar chane tera chera kuch is kadar
Marte ko jaise jeest ka nuksa diya jaye
Jo chahe soch lo humare bare mein dost
Hasil Sukoon e dil sau tarah se kiya jaye
Doston kee dosti par faqr hai mujhe
Kaam khudaya eisa pade jo khud nikala jaye
bemaqsad nahin talte yun muskura kar koi baat
Koi to ho saath jiske shaam ek piyala piya jaye
Halaat kisi kee juda nahin, khel ek hai
Lakhon tarah ek dard azal’ bayan kiya jaye
Khuda parast tha kabhi, baitha buton ke aage
Jitna samajdar hua utna jeena muhaal hua jaye
