वक़्त

वक़्त का ही तो सितम रहा होगा,
तू खुद से यूँ खफ़ा क्यों है?

उठ देख ये वक़्त का क़हर,

जो कल दूसरों को बांटते थे
हर मर्ज की दवा,
आज वो मजबूर है पीने को ज़हर

Happy Now?

I looked for you amidst the crowd, and I saw you laughing. I gazed at you, admiring your smile and your happy face. Your grinning face made all my weariness go away for some time. I was elated to see you happy.  Maybe this is what I wanted—your happy face! Maybe this is what I was craving!  But there was something melancholy about it. Maybe some promises and vows were left midway through the journey of our togetherness! But hey, I wanted to be happy. I wanted to smile and laugh, and I wanted to give you a bear hug, because all I have done lately is cry, and all I am becoming lately is a human without emotion, without love, and without his significant other. I wonder sometimes how you promised to smile, laugh, and cry together, and now when I see you happy without me, my heart aches!  Not because you are happy without me, but it aches because I’m not a part of your happiness anymore.  It hurts because now I don’t feel any sort of happiness in life without you!  But shall I be happy now?

What are the things which you want to hold on for your inner peace? Are these things in your control? On the up and up I think the answer is quite hazy. Things which makes us happy are generally not that easy to attain, one have to fight for it. Fighting for our own happiness is not less than any battle, you may require to cry your heart out for it sometimes. We often get confused with our inner peace and happiness but these two things are poles apart. I would say inner peace is the gateway for your happiness. In this scrambled lifestyle we are more prone to hold on things which can bother us instead of holding up thoughts which can actually lea

मैं इश्क़ हूँ या बारिश मैं?

मैं इश्क़ हूँ या बारिश मैं, मुझे अश्क़ बन रहने दो दूर हुए हम जुदा नहीं यूँ आँखों से अश्क़ न बहने दो, मैं इश्क़ हूँ या बारिश मैं, मुझे अश्क़ बन रहने दो इश्क़ तो यूं ही बदनाम है दूर होकर भी हम एक नाम है, जैसे हो नदिया में बहती धारा कुछ वैसा ही तो है साथ हमारा, यूँ बारिश में भीगी हुई तुम्हारी ज़ुल्फ़ों का नज़ारा, मानो समा रखा हो उसमें पूरा ज़माना, अब अश्क़ बहे तो बहने दो, मैं इश्क़ हूँ या बारिश मैं, अब सिर्फ मुझे तुम अपने ख्यालों में रहने दो. ~विशाल आनंद
