यूँ ही

आते जाते राहों में,

यूँ ही मिल गया था कोई,

एक मुस्कान से बस,

सीने से दिल ले गया था कोई.

बस एक झलक दिखा हमें,

उल्फ़त सिखा गया था कोई.

आते जाते राहों में,

यूँ ही मिल गया था कोई.

उनके दीदार को तरसते नैन हमारे,

नींद- ओ- होश ग़ुम हुए हमारे.

हाय ये इश्क है कैसी सज़ा,

यही है दर्द, यही है दवा.

कोई इसे कहे आग का दरिया, 

भगवान् देखे कोई इस में .

आते जाते राहों में,

यूँ ही मिल गया था कोई.

मेरे मन

हर अंधकार के बाद आएगा उजाला,

ये चक्र ही है कुदरत का कायदा. 

निराशा के समुन्दर में डूबे तो क्या,

आशा के द्वीप मिलेंगे, मेरे मन तू देखना.

तेरे जीवन की गाथा लिख रहा है परमात्मा,

एक दरवाज़ा हुआ ग़र बंद, नए रास्ते पे चल पड़ना.

हर आंसू जो तुने बहाया, बना है एक मोती,

एक दिन उनकी तू पहनेगा माला, मेरे मन तू देखना.

Sometimes I Wonder

So, I have been wondering about a few things these past days. The object that has attracted thought from me is, well they are some of those things that people say to cheer you up.For example I was told that :
1. Everything that happens, happens for a reason.
2. All is well at the end, and if it is not well, it is not the end.

I wonder that if any of this is true, or these lines were written by some super crafty person to console others and have been used since. Take the first one for instance. Is there always a reason behind everything? We, the humans often act on impulse without stopping beforehand and thinking that oh no, I must have a reason. Do we not do somethings just because we want to do them? Then why can't God act on impulse every now and then?

The second one, in a twisting and turning way, it says that all stories end happily. Well, I don't think that's true. I know many tragic stories. Everybody does.  Then how do we know that our story won't be a sad one?

I am on the lookout for answers to these questions. Someday, if I find them, I'll come back her and write them. Till then,

Signing off,
