The ink has now dried !!!!!


For a few weeks now, i have been wanting to write,
Took a pen in my  hand and again i tried.

Kept staring at the paper and my hands dint move,
i told myself , maybe i am not in the groove.

Writing a poem can't be rocket science ??
The hands started to move, and i wrote a few lines.

i couldn't make sense of what i was writing,
maybe to write about, there was nothing exciting ??

but in the past this was never the case ??
maybe this was a just a funny day ????
 yes that surely must be the case  !!!

 Few weeks later ,  i decided to write,
took a pen in my hand and again i tried.

to my surprise the same thing happened,
will i ever write again ? now i was starting to feel saddened.

this is  the time, when something strange struck my mind,
it was not me, but her thoughts that always moved the pen in my hand..

with her now gone, my mind seems so blank,
when i  started to feel happy, life said, " hello !!! it was a prank …."

i thought i was a poet, but i was so wrong,
thoughts now feel empty, and this paper seems too long...
Its been a few years since i sat down to write,
paper is still blank and the ink has now dried.
Never took a pen again in my hand and never again i tried……never again i tried….

Kya Rahogi Meri


Kya rahogi meri


Raat hai sabko de ti sone ki vajah ,
Bas hum hi hai jo bewaja jag gaye..

Neend se jaagna naa badi baat hai,
Baat to yeh hai ki, hum sochne lag gaye.

Kuch saal pehle ki yeh baat thi,
Pyaar hi pyaar mere dil ki jasbaat thi.

Puchatha jab bhi usse..kya rahogi meri ?
Haa main teri sada, thin kasam  usne li.

Uske baaton pe karna tha mujko yakeen,
Gehra tha mera darr, naa le koi usko cheen..

Saal do saal beete darr yeh kayam raha,
Haan main teri sada , usne ab bhi kaha..

Kuch dino ke liye mujhe door rehna pada,
Khud ke pairon pe tha mujko hona khada...

Pyaar naa mera thoda bhi kam hua,
Usko naa khone ki ab bhi karta dua.

Darr jo tha mera woh ab bhi kayam raha,
Phir se poocha ki kya meri rahogi sada,

Is baar jawab use kuch aur mila, 
Sar se pav tak tha main bilkul hila,

Mere mata pita se main karti hu pyaar,
Ek lauti main unki, woh mera sansaar.

Jaanti hu ki tu mujhko karta hai pyaar,
Par is rishte se hai mere gharwalo ko inkaar,

Chod de rab pe tu, tha uska jawab,
Chehra uska dikha ab jo nikla hijaab..

Koshish ab bhi hai jaari,hu main karta yakeen,
Naa mile hum agar, to hogi tu bad naseeb..

Faisle pe ab uski hai ruki meri saans ..
mere darr se jeet jau main ab... Hai meri yeh ek hi aas..

Laurel and Hardy

Lol is what you always say,
And please dont stop cause i like it that way.
May the smile on your face, for always stay,
Cos its even more beautiful than the morning sun rays.
We started  an important journey of our lives together,
You have always stayed besides me however bad be the weather.
In a year from now hopefully the journey will come to an end,
But i must admit, for others you have set a trend.
I can proudly say today that u are my best friend,
For even if i dint ask u always lent.
In your life today has come this beautiful event,
I am sure to see you smile everyday even god wud pay rent.
Happy birthday to you from your bestest friend,
And a prayer to god that may this freindship never ever come to an end.
Wah Wah !!!! i know is what u wud now say,
and i wont stop u, cos unlike u we are never used to listening that phrase.
Enoy your day today and have a great party,
These are the wishes from Laurel to her Hardy !!!!

                                                       -  From her thru me to you,

                                                          Imagination were hers i only drew.
