Aaj fir..

Aaj fir udasiyon ne, dil pe dala dera,

Utha zamin se koshish ki, udne ki ambar ki oar,

Bahut kacchi hai lekin, mere hauslon ki dor.

Kadam mud gaye udhar fir, mila thoda sukun wahan,

Ja baitha us sahil pe, dubi kayi kashtiyan jahan,

Thodi dur hai aur raasta, jata jo kshitij ki oar,

Kuchh lamhon ka hai faasla, dhundhun kya wo antim chhor?

Prayatna kiya mann ne bahut, badhne ka aage do kadam,

Shayad aaj mita hi jaoon, bandhnon ka ye bharam,

Darta hu lekin, kya ye saahas kar paunga,

Kyunki ye janta hu main,
Do kadam badha to dub jaunga…

New Year.. New Beginning..

Beginnings they say are arbitrary..

Sometimes we are too close to things to see them.. Sometimes we are too far away.. We choose starting points when in fact every single moment that is, exists in the context of every single moment throughout time that precedes and follows it! Its a tapestry with no beginning or end and even if we like to believe that our stories start at a certain point, the truth is, it is a long eternal tale..
