The Promise

This would be the final and concluding part of my previous poem "it was never 'us' it was always you and me" 

All those pieces of my heart

which were shattered far apart

I kept trying to bring them near

and to put the life in next gear

Today I had to break up a promise

which I did to myself last year

not to come alone

and have a friend with me along 

I wasn’t so strong to handle this so early
the sparking smile and the memories
all came back to me within seconds
and will haunt me for more years

I can only wish you; a good life
with all the happiness and prosperity 

after all it was never ‘us’ always you and me :)

heard this funny poetry on some tv channel in dubai

"kon kehta hai key tum befawa ho
ya or baat hai key tum muj sey khafa ho
or agar tum khafa ho toh
jaldi sey idher sey dafa ho "

Going to Makkah

Going to Makkah is not the ultimate
Even if hundreds of prayers are offered

Going to River Ganges is not the ultimate
Even if hundreds of cleansing (Baptisms) are done

Going to Gaya is not the ultimate
Even if hundreds of worships are done

Bulleh Shah the ultimate is
When the “I” is removed from the heart!

- Bulleh Shah

O my Lord, pay heed to my appeal (Mori Araj Suno)

O my Lord, pay heed to my appeal
I am a faithful follower of my Creator
O my Lord, pay heed to my appeal
My true Lord, you had said
“Go man, you are master of the world
My bounties on earth are your treasure
You are the viceroy of your Creator”

After baiting me with these promises
Countless years have passed by
My Lord, did you ever enquire what transpired with your man
What your man has suffered in this world?

Somewhere, those in power and with the means intimidate, harass and terrorize
Elsewhere, draft and bribery are rampant
My soul is shaken down to my bone
Just like a bird flutters when caught in a trap

You made a fine king indeed, my sweet lord
All I have gotten are endless beatings
I don’t want kingship, my Lord
All I need is a morsel of respect

I have no desire to live in palaces
I just want a small nook to live my life
If you agree with me, I will agree with you
I won’t decline anything no matter how unreasonable

If you don’t look out for me God!
Then I should go and seek for myself another god
O my lord, pay heed to my appeal

With this grimace
Pleading
Sharing the pain
Rowing the boat
Asking for his blessings
Waiting expectantly
Countless centuries have passed by
Only now has it been revealed
The one who you had appealed to
The one who held your hand and guided you
Where your boat had docked
From whom you had asked for a panacea for your pain
The one who did not visit your temple
It was you only
It was you only 

Life's Sad Song

Life is a sad song
where you'll find no one by your side for long
people keep coming, people keep going
life keeps running on

it shows some happiness
it shows some tears
in the end its only you who is left
with some memories , with some tears

you built hope
you built dreams
you love someone , you hate someone
sooner or later , you lose them both

At times in life , you want to live free
you feel in prison of those who used to be the loved ones
you want to run but you cannot
you want to cry out loud but you cannot

How would it feel if i'm gone forever? if i'm lost forever
would that make a difference?
would that free my soul from this prison?

some die for money
some die for food
i just want one thing
that is the freedom of my soul

To laugh often and much

"To laugh often and much;
to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;
to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;
to appreciate beauty,
to find the best in others;
to leave the world a little better;
whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;
to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is the meaning of success."


-Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882) American Essayist & Poet

my DeathStar

i wanted to be a star

not the one you knw so far

up in the sky

lonely but nothing left to die

when i'll die

i knw some will cry

some might miss me

some might wish me

the life after death will start

when God will ask me what i want

i'll just ask him to give all my good deeds to my friends n family

the owes n the loved ones

i was making a building

i gethered my friends

we all worked togther

until there was a need for someone to work frm outside

being the one i took it on me

never knew i just threw an axe on me

we worked worked until i just realize

i'm the one standing outside

with no routes to get back

death isn't any game

its a life without any pain

so much to gain

things that will always remain

I Tried To Find Myself

I tried to find myself
I tried to burn myself
I left everything which was important to me
was it my family, friends or enemy

Every second I could feel the pain
you won't understand what I could gain
I wanted to burn myself
I wanted to find myself

But now I do miss all the good times
all the laughs and all the smiles
I know I'll get all of you back
but I won't b able to find myself after that

Today I don't feel any hesitations to cry out loud
I’m just leaving myself dead tonight
u won't find the same person ever
the one who wanted to know himself is lost forever

You won't see me sad again
do not think I’m insane
I just lost someone who was dear to me
it wasn't u but it was me

I wish I knew the end
I could have always pretend
that I never felt offend
as u r my best-friend

When You Love Someone - Bryan Adams

When you love someone - youll do anything

Youll do all the crazy things that you cant explain
Youll shoot the moon - put out the sun
When you love someone

Youll deny the truth - believe a lie
Therell be times that youll believe you can really fly
But your lonely nights - have just begun
When you love someone

When you love someone - youll feel it deep inside
And nothin else can ever change your mind
When you want someone - when you need someone
When you love someone...

When you love someone - youll sacrifice
Youd give it everything you got and you wont think twice
Youd risk it all - no matter what may come
When you love someone
Youll shoot the moon - put out the sun
When you love someone

Naney Asghar (A.S)

Naney sey bachey na bhi ek misaal kayam kardi

hussain(A.S) key maqsad main jaan bhar di

na bol paya kuch bhi nanna Asghar (A.S)

kam sini mein he hujat tamaam kardi

Aya tha pani ki talab mein

theen roz jo ho gay they pani ko band howey

khush galey mein jo zabaah ko helaya

teer na bachey ko shahadat ka maqam per pouchaya

It Was Never 'Us' It Was Always You And Me

It Was Never 'Us' It Was Always You And Me

I cannot say when was this second
I have no idea but it just happened
Suddenly my life was full of action
You just changed my life's passion

I cannot forget all the moments
Being with you and smelling your fragrance
Gettin stuck at things and asking for your guidance
Making you my only preference

Dunno from where i got the courage
To propose you and ask you for marriage
But i find there was some shortage
Or was i expecting too much privilege

With every wind that blew , i felt dat i mite lose you
But there isn't anything left to argue
It was just me who had no clue
It was me who just had this flue

It was never us it was always you and me
Why did i react so bluntly?
Now at this stage i do agree
That it was never us it was always you and me

I wish i could make you understand how important you are for me
Things weren't straight but i tried to be
I wish i could tell you how badly it hurts me
I wish these tears were worthy

Dunno i should be happy or sad
But i have one thing to be glad
atleast you considered me your friend
I still hav some time with you to spend

Today i lost my destiny
I wanted you so badly
But now i come to a conclusion
Was it just a confusion?

I mite get you or i may not
But i will always have this thought
That i wasn't the one you liked
That i wasn't the one you liked

I will always luv you as i did
Even if you forbid
I loved you truely and will always do
Even if you have no clue

I may not b able to complete this poem today
But my luv was complete the day i saw you
I cannot forget those days
But it was never us,it was always you and me

The Pain of Life

The Pain of Life

The pain of life will never end
its just the beginning my friend
everyday a new sorrow will hunt u down

doesn’t matter how much u frown

Friends, foes or even the dear ones

won’t be there, unless it’s for some fun

you need to bear all the pains of life

its like killing yourself with your own knife

Running in the life’s race

we might forget for what was this chase?

Trying to avoid the disgrace

we don’t even bother to face

Winning is not the only end

At times you have to lose it for a friend

they won’t get how important they are

how painful it was for you to go so far

The pain of life will never end

its just the beginning my friend

everyday a new sorrow will hunt u down

doesn’t matter how much u frown
