Memories

Like the cold wind near the ocean,

Life flows forever,

Heading somewhere, going nowhere

Chasing dreams, following none

Live every moment, coz moments hold memories

And memories?

They are like fading salt in a glass of water

Once stirred, they disappear

But what is life without this salty flavor?

Life

Days are still the same

The unforced battle upholds

Emersion of honest thoughts

Wassailing sorrows and regrets

Beauteous life, uncertain it is

Diffident I am, I fear life

Self anointed thrilling task

Bring home the bacon! Win!

Am I here to combat or to celebrate life?

I foresee the portrayal of self, 

Recalling life, recollecting memories

Seeking for the most beautiful memory

I question myself! Befuddled!

Sprang into my mind, the story of two lifers

One agonized, the other relished the flavor

The answer I realize is in the journey that I traverse

It is merely how you celebrate, each day is special

At times, wining has no significance 

Even defeat sometimes acquires

Raaz

क्या राज़ है तेरे चेहरे का

अंजान होकर भी अंजाना ना लगे

कश्ती को किनारा मिला हो जैसे

मुसाफिरों का ठिकाना सा लगे

आँखों में मासूमियत, सादगी हो जैसे

एक खाव्ब पहचाना सा लगे

राज़ हज़ारों छुपे हो जिनमे

हर राज़ एक आईना सा लगे

होटो पर कशिश, एक चाह हो जैसे

तपती धूप में, बारिश की बूँद हो जैसे

जिनके स्पर्श से कोयला भी चाँद सा लगे

कर दे अमर जिसे छू ले तू

असर ऐसा, कोई जादू टोना सा लगे

रोक लिया खुदको ये सोचकर

दूर ना चले जाओ तुम

कहीं ये इज़हार दीवानापन सा ना लगे

एक गीली तस्वीर जो तुम

जिसकी एक झलक भर में

हर रंग सतरंगी सा लगे

राज़ जैसे राज़ ना हो कोई

तेरा चेहरा मुझे

बस एक सुलझा हुआ जवाब सा लगे

Words

No, these are not words

But wishes and dreams

You see them, you feel them

Unreal may it seem

You plan

And hold tight

But deep inside 

You already know 

It's an eternal fight

So what?

Don't give up!

Coz life is bittersweet

It's substance, it's real

Love it

With great passion 

And zeal

Chase your dreams

Dance in sync

Not to win 

Not to lose

As the end is unchanged

Whatever path you choose

Wander my friend

Untie the knot

Things might fall in place

If you simply follow your heart
