वक़्त

वक़्त

वक़्त कहाँ है किसी के पास
कोई यूँ ही चला जाता है
बिना खबर, बिना किसी आवाज़ के

कारवां ज़िन्दगी का थम सा जाता है
ये फ़िक्र, ये ज़िक्र, ये तमाशे, ये दिखावे
सब बेढंगे, बेमानी से लगते है

यादों मे सिमट गयी ज़िन्दगी की जंग
लौट आये शायद कभी, तसल्ली अच्छी है
जानेवाला तो चला गया, रह गयी यादें

वो मासूम, समझें भी तो क्या समझें
अपनी माँ को देखे और औरो को देखे
रोते रोते अपनी नन्ही सी उँगलियों को फेरे
भूख लगी है माँ, उठ जाओ,
मैं भूखा हूँ माँ उठ जाओ

कोई बतलाये तो कैसे बतलाये
माँ बहुत  गहरी नींद मे चली गयी
वापस आने की कोई गुंजाइश नहीं

कुछ टूटे दिल, कुछ नम आँखें और बस कुछ बिखरे सपने
समेटे एक टक देख खड़े है लोग
वक़्त कहाँ है किसी के पास !!

आकांक्षा त्यागी

Let me be

Let me be a stranger again to the world
As I was when I took an exit from the cozy womb

Let me do what I want to do
As I did being a toddler

Let me fly like a free bird
As I used to when I was a teenager

Let me take everything I wish
As I was allowed in my preteens

Let me be mine
As I am when all alone.
Let me be ........
   

Limitless me

You think I have a limit
Yes, I have a limitless limit!!

You think you can stop me
Well, I do stop once I stop breathing!!

You think you can burden me
Aha! I used to carry burdens

You think I don't care
Right, that's what I am known for!!

Your thinking is your identity
And I am not with sanctity!!

Home

I have a home with wall of hearts,
plaster of love and paint of memories
I have a home with decor of echo and fun cherished
I have a home in the conversations and chit chats
I have a home without boundaries exceeding the limits
I have a home when they miss me while closing their shutterbugs ,reminding them of my presence
I have a home somewhere in the corner of everyone's heart I met
Yes! I have a home wherever I go, whoever I meet:)

The real me..

Let me clean the dust
Over my soul
Let me see my self
As I struggle to know my core
Let people give me words
to unwrap
To show me the "real" perhaps
Let me know the dust
Covering me !!

It is not one layer but covered with multi layers
Encapsulated with numerous perceptions and experiences

Let me see to the inner me
Is it atleast fair to me?
Possiblity of the revealed newness
Or the older version of once 'me'

Let me dust it off
Prerequisite to knowing me.
Let me clear the dust over my soul
Let me see the real me.

The silence of the dawn

The silence of the dawn

The not so dark but darkness with a mild breeze
Which flows towards me,touches my hair and refreshes me to seize

The impetus to quit the fragile me and stand up to start again

That chirping alarm melody being unattended leaves no stone unturned in vain

This lovely camaraderie renegades to an obsolete silence of me and I .
With a harmonious company of us ,the mesmerised version does not want to leave

And the sky is in the process of shining striving hard to filter through the clouds

I and me ,we both became friends for that dawn being witnessed by the silence of the dawn ..

The Mask

The Mask

Take off the mask ,stop pretending
the stage was already set
The roles were already decided and the duration of each role was destined too
Even before your arrival to this dramatic world

No matter how much you possess
No matter how you portray yourself to others
"What you are" is already there up above
Instead of what you pretend to be

Time to take off the mask, be you,be the real,stop pretending

The milestones may be different but the final destination is same

Come on, be honest take on the world.
As what you are is too unique and special

He has made no copy of yours and you can create a history by being you.

Wake up! Now is the time ,you never know when he puts an end to your role .

But the show continues, audience may remember your role.
Play it well!!

AAj ki hawa

आज की हवा
न जाने क्या था आज की हवा में
पाया सन्नाटा मैंने आज की हवा में
थी शर्मसार ये दुनिया उसकी वफ़ा में
नज़रे नहीं मिला पाया कोई आज की हवा में

जाना मैंने ये की हैं शर्मिंदा आज ये
उसके गुनाह पर ,
अपनी रूह से भी न मिल पाए कभी ये
फिर भी हैं करते हैं अफ़सोस ये ,उसके गम में,
ये आज की हवा में

वाकिफ़ हुए लोग, उस एक के गुनाह से आज
पर झाँका, अब भी नही अपनी कारिस्तानियो पर
दूर खड़ा देख रहा वो भी
तेरे बेगैरत अंदाज़ को ,
आज की हवा में

उसकी सिसकियों में तू भी हैं शामिल
उसके दर्द में तू भी हैं शामिल
इंसानियत को रौंद कर हँस रहा तू
ऊँगली उठा रहा अपनी ही तरफ तू
अरे ! झाँक जरा तू अपने भी अन्दर ,देख जरा तू अपनी भी रूह
आज की हवा में।।।।।
