Insaaf

-

Insaaf ki thi jung
par har kaid mein thi surang
Bhaag raha yeh jahn
fursat hai kise, kahn
bediyon mein bandhi hai insaaniyat
Aazad hai toh, bas haiwaniyat
Kuch paane ke fitoor mein
Sab Kuch luta baithe
Pasina bahane ki umar mein
Ashqon se dil laga baithe

Nyaya ke tarazoo par
Rupai bikhre hain
jinse samaj banaya
Woh sab tukre hain
kalam ki nok se aaj
Khoon beh raha hai
Us syahi ke dhabbe
Har kisi ke jism par lage hain

Ab bahut ho gaya
ab aur Nahi
Suraj ki roshini, banegi mashaal
Seene ke kaante, banenge hathiyaar
Ab aur nahi hogi yeh maati raakh
Chahe saath ek khada ho
Ya lakh..

  On 1 January 2021, I landed back to Delhi from my trip to Kashmir. I reached home, talked to my family. My mother was a bit unwell and my brother was hopping around the house like a squirrel. The moment I lay on my bed, I instantly missed Kashmir. Delhi is a modern, jazzed up song that makes you move and laugh but Kashmir was an old song that you heard someone, whispering in metro and searched all over the internet to listen to it. And when you finally listen to it, you forget who you are and where are you going. It makes you fall in love. Yes, Kashmir was known to me only by whispers and news but when I myself got there it was completely different. There was one agathokakological statement that kept coming in my mind, “If there is heaven on earth, it is here, it is here, it is here.” Jannat-e-Kashmir was indeed heaven by all the looks of it. There are snow capped mountains and cool breeze, dry leaves and tall trees. The first time I walked on snow, my boots went straight insid...

Gullak

Ghar mein koi keemti tizori toh Nahi Par usse zyada khaas ek gullak zaroor hai Yaadon Ki gullak Jismein Maa ki lori yaaron ki yaari Jadugaron ki kahani Baarish ke paani mein tairti kagaz ki kashti Khule hue feete Bheegi hui uniform Kaju ki barfi aur gol gappon ka paani hai Yeh yaadon ki gullak mein Aansuon se seeche podhe Humseha taaze rehte hain Woh keemti lamhe usmein kaid rehte hain Woh gullak waqt ke saath ghar ke kisi purane kamre ki Purani almari ki Dehti daraaz mein reh jaati hai Par jab bhi duniya se thak kar Zindagi se jhagad kar Ghar lautte hain toh kadam us kamre ke paas thehar jaate hain andar jaa Kar jab us almari ki daraaz khol Woh gullak dekhte hain toh Woh purana kamra Woh khurdari deewar Woh tooti kursi Aur woh jaalon waali khidki Bahut khooburat lagti hai Woh kamra ghar Ka sambse apna hissa lagta hai Us bakse ko seene se laga so jaate hain Agli subah us gullak aur kamre ko band kar ek Baar phir duniya se jhoonjhne Aur Zindagi se jhagad...

Run

It's becoming difficult now. Every moment I feel like running away. I don't want to live like this. I don't like my home. I don't want to call it home. This isn't going right. I want to be free. I feel like locked up. I don't have a opinion of my own nor do I have choices of my own. This has to end. Or someday I will end myself. I feel like dying. Not physically. But mentally. There are clouds surrounding me. The clouds that want me to come to sky. To be free. To have no limits. No boundations. Just me and my dreams. I want to go woth them. I wish I had the courage to do so. But that is not possible. With all the responsibilities that are on my shoulders and all the people who look forward on me. I cannot hurt them. Even if in return I have to hurt myself every single day. I am afraid of my own shadow. It tells me how dark my world is. I want to be left alone. But then, I suffer pangs of loneliness every single moment. This has to end. I can't live like this...
