I Miss You...

 शाम के बाद

जब भी आती है तेरी याद कभी शाम के बाद

और बढ़ जाती है अफसुर्दा-दिली शाम के बाद

अब इरादों पे भरोसा है ना तौबा पे यकीं

मुझ को ले जाये कहाँ तश्ना-लबी शाम के बाद

यूँ तो हर लम्हा तेरी याद का बोझल गुज़रा

दिल को महसूस हु‌ई तेरी कमी शाम के बाद

यूँ तो कुछ शाम से पहले भी उदासी थी 'अदीब'

अब तो कुछ और बढ़ी दिल की लगी शाम के बाद....

~अदीब

I Wish If You Could Be Here Forever

Mere Har Lamhe Me Hai Mukammal Daastaan Teri Mohabbt Ki...

E Kaahs Ki Hote Tum Bhi, Mukammal Zindagi Ke Liye..

- Alok Upadhayay

Going through the collection in my laptop, found some images... one of them had following words. I found it worth sharing and here it is... - 

It is hard for two people to love each other when they live in two diffrent worlds.

But when these two worlds meet and become one... thats what the situation...we call love..where we just give our heart to someone....

I wish if I could live in this beautiful world forever....

Tamaam Umar Bas Teraa Intzaar Rahaa...

Bhool Gaye Sab Manzar, Bas Teraa Chahraa Yaad Rahaa...

Tha Hakikat Yaa Hasin Khwab Koi Milnaa Teraa...

Bhool Taye Sab Fasaane Bas Wo Lamhaa Yaad Raha...

Distances - If It Could Just Vanish

तेरी यादों ने समेटा आगोश में अपने आज, तो एहसास हुआ...
गोया वो गुज़रा ज़माना लौट आया....

25 Jan 2011
Sitting in the sun of January, enjoying winters of Noida with ice-cream in TGIP, Noida, I was just filling like if I could make this day more beautiful... 
Suddenly a boy came to me, "Bhaiyaa, Gulaab le lo.....(Brother, will you please buy some roses from me...)."
Its common thing in Sec 18 Noida, one can easily find kids selling roses over there.
" Kiske Liye ?...(For whom?)"
"Jo aane waale hai..(The one you are waiting for...)."
He said in such a sweet way that I couldn't deny. He had 7 roses and I bought all of them....
He got a smile over his face, he giggled, said thank you and went away....
I just kept on watching him until he vanished in the crowd....
I just thought, even he has a hope that someone will come to whom I can offer these beautiful roses.
I wish if I could tell him that no one will ever come.... the one who could come has already gone...
That kid made to think about those days when I had you for these flowers .... I wish if I could change it... I wish if I could bring those days back...
I wish if....

Life - Teaching A New Lesson Every Moment

Everything that happens to us can be an opportunity. It is true for both good and bad. When one view everything as a learning experience, he/she will be thinking on a higher plane of awareness. It is there that one will find success.

The interesting fact is that, almost everyone knows this theory, but only few of us follow it...  :) :)

The Loneliness

 9:25 PM, Monday, 19th Sept.2011,

"Tuglakabaad Station, doors will open on the left please mind the gap." 

The mechanical voice of Delhi Metro for the arrival of Tuglakabaad Metro Station had got my attention now. Metro stopped and he walked out of the automatically opened doors. 

He was gone but was still somewhere there in my mind. 

I was noticing him since I had boarded Violet Line Delhi Metro from Central Secretariat, on my way to home. 
I was late today, there were very few passengers in that coach. 
He was just in front of me. At the very first sight, I had got a feeling that I know him. I was unable to remember where and when but I was sure that it was a long time. I thought to ask him but I didn't. 

Suddenly I remembered, I had met him before on the same route, a couple of months ago. Now I was more curious about him. The reason was the change. 

Yeah.. last time when I had seen him he was one of the happiest people I had ever seen in my life. I had a small conversation with him. I found him interesting. He was so cheerful as if he had got everything he had ever wanted.....but today...  I found him lost somewhere... no expressions at all. It was a little bit surprising to me...

I was just thinking how...why?

He just took out a paper and a diary out of his bag and started writing something.

He kept on writing until we were at our destination. We stood to move, he had left that piece of paper on the seat. 

I just looked at it and read it....

"What will you do, if you have everything and have got nothing?

What will you do if you have got everyone close to you and the one you want to be with is not with you?

What, if ................   and it was blank.....

If something was there it was a big question mark (?) he had drawn on that page... with a quote....

"For me it's loneliness.....it's the real loneliness...."

The Metro stopped, and I moved ahead....he moved ahead with me...I alone stepped out of the door. All fellow passengers had gone. Standing on the platform, I was thinking about that face I had seen in the translucent glass of Metro... Yeah.. I had lost it somewhere...

And what  I had in my mind was the above lines.

तन्हा यादें

वो कहते थे, जुदाई का इश्क में अपना ही असर है,
आज जो तुझसे जुदा हुआ तो एहसास हुआ....

Its all I have to say today...

Here is something I have written... Its the result of the those moments when I was almost lost in the situation... people say.. I am missin' someone....   but for me.. its the another face of the coin... I like to say.. I am enjoying some of the beautiful moments spent in my life....
