The lilies bloom!

For things may be tough.
the weather rough,
life unfair,
a world in despair,
and then the lilies bloom.

For words,may pierce,
others simply jeer,
or it is time,
to lower your plume,
and then,the lilies bloom.

They wait,to revile,
to kill,and defile,
to make it seem,
not worthwhile,
and yet,the lilies bloom.

They've seen it all,
the wait,the fall,
to glow bright,
ethereal beauty infinite,
and so,the lilies bloom.

Her

I loved a lady once,and I love her now too,
Her beauty ethereal,her eyes blue,

Her face chiseled,by the rays of sun,
Her hair,jovial,even in a bun,

Her gait elegant,her smell sweet,
Her grace flowed,as a satin sheet,

Her aura delightful,her words,wine,
Why her death was inevitable,but isn't,mine?

The universe!

Here's an argument to put to rest that there's multitude of deities and gods to govern us,to give out judgment,to help us at different times of the day and so on and so forth.

The argument is:
Try to decipher the true meaning of the word 'Universe'

Its composed of two words:Uni(one) and Verse(line or paragraph)

So,if the whole universe is composed of only one line,or maybe just one stanza,
how could it be so full of so many gods that the rest of us do not remain people?

A new age dawns?

Kranti ke is yug mein,anupam bhaar apna lo,

Hathiyaar to phalte hain,bas jung ke maidaan mein,
Is prem yudh mein,tum ghazalon ka saar nikaalo!
Word meanings:
Kranti:revolution
Anupam:valuable
Singh:Lion
Garjana:Roar
Lahu:blood
chinghaar:cry
Saar:summary

Meaning:
In this age of revolution,you take upon a valuable responsibility,
Scream out a lion's roar,a blood demanding cry,
Weapons are used in the battle field,
In this war of armor(love),you summarize poems.

What looks isn't so?

Akad na samjho,aisi chaal ko humaari,
Bina dekhe taare chchue hain kissi ne?

Entropy?

Don't you think you're wonderful?
truly lucky and amazing,just to be alive?

Well,I don't say so because of some spiritual guruistic knowledge,dawned upon me from some sixth adobe above the clouds.

I can say so scientifically!

I hope you know the third law of thermodynamics,about entropy,about everything moving from order to chaos,spontaneously?
That in order to reverse this process,it takes hell lot of energy?

and then you see around,and find everything around you behaving in accordance to this law?

Except you?

your body is a structural marvel!its a biologists nightmare!

so many enzymes,so many chemicals rolled into one,one concrete bound mass,not disorder,not randomness,but complete harmony,and synchrony!

why?how?

Of course it would take a lot of energy to maintain this level of order,so why does this happen?

Here's my abstraction:
The whole,i mean the whole system of the universe wants to express something out of you.That's why so many different chemicals,decided exactly of heir composition and came together to form you.

What it is,when it shall come,none knows.But that's the reason why such humongous amount of energy was spent in creating you,to create such order.

The very fact that,while i bathe,i do not disintegrate,is simply the reason,why i am so lucky!

Maybe..maybe when u're not acting to express something,or not acting at all,or maybe your expression is complete,you just disintegrate.Simply die.

die die die..my darling!:)

What if?

What if,the world that we now understand,is not as how we understand it?

Just take,for example,your eyes,which allow a visual display of all vivid colors and emotions around you,of all that is happening around you,your world,your home,your everything..the visual input,the camera,your eyes.

what if?

The eyes were not the input,not the camera.But a projector?

The world would change,your eyes projecting not whats around you,but whats in you.Projecting your prejudices,your attitudes,your emotions,your thoughts...but still,on a deeper level,your everything!

26/11

for 26/11 aniversary:


Us din ki yaad mein, hum ek paigaam laye hain,
Ek saal baad, ek naya makaam laye hain,
Jo dil mein hain, woh gehre hain ghaav,
Par zara kholo aankhen,dekho hum honsle tamaam laye hain.

har din har pal, us dard ko jeene ki himmat,
aur watan pe marne waalon ki woh kismat,
hum to reh gaye, na ja sake na jee sake,
Bas sar jhukaye, unke liye, ye kalaam laye hain

Word meaning suggestions:
paigaam:message
makaam:milestone
Tamaam:all
Kalaam:poem

Kal phir socha

Kal phir socha,ek ghazal likhen,
Kuch naya likhen,ya phir nakal likhen,
Kucha isa jo ghazalon ki hasrat badal de,
Misro aur panno mein kaid kuch aise pal likhen.

Labz mere aur naam tera ho jinme,
Mehak teri,kalaam tera ho jinme,
Honth mere aur jaam tera ho jinme,
Rooh tak pahunchta aaram tera ho jinme.

Alfaaz kuch duniya badal likhen,
Phir socha,ek ghazal likhen,
Par..khush bahut hun aaj,
to socha,kal likhen!


Word meanings:
ghazal:a poem
nakal:cheated
hasrat:condition
misro:stanzas
kalam:talk
rooh:soul

Cency,compla

Having won great victories and thinking of doing enough,you sit back,relax and try to enjoy.
Having struggled for long,desperate attempts to get past a situation,get a promotion,buy a phone,solve a crisis et al.

Relaxing.huh?

Then a thought crops up in your mind.

Is this what remains when you take away every thing?
And everything,means everything,including life(or the life death paradox).

What remains?

And talking of the life death paradox,how do you know that you're not already dead?
What is the difference between life and death?

And lastly,it is fine only,if such questions come to you after loads of joy and not out of gloom and darkness.

And he went on..

And he went on,
not hearing the voices in his head.
Thoughtless,
dreamless,
he had awakened,
his creative soul.

Thoughts?

Thoughts,thoughts and again,more thoughts.

Is there anything else you identify with?
Is there anything else beyond thoughts that our mind can feel?

Can that thoughtless state be achieved?

And how do you know,that you're not dead already?

They say,being dead means that the body stops working.Fine.That happens almost in my sleep.
So am I dead?

They say that the thoughts cease to exist.Fine,again in my sleep.

So what is it that makes you dead..or alive?
There has to be something beyond thoughts for it,since thats the last resort we take to define our selves.

So what do you identify yourself with?

"Waqt aa gaya hai,sita ko phir wohi laqueer dikhaane ka,
Sheron ko bilon se bahar kar,unki tasveer dikhaane ka!"

Arz hai

"un aakhiri palon mein,jab socha kya paya,kya khoya tha...,
kya zameen,kya jahaan,saara aasmaan roya tha.."
