Contentment

सब्र  की  एक  बात

बहुत ही अच्छी होती है…

जब आ जाता है तो किसी चीज़      

की तलब नहीं रह जाती है..!

☆☆

One  Godsend  felicity  of

the  contentment  is  that 

when it comes then there remains

no desire for anything else!

☆ Puzzling Doubt 

जाते जाते ही सही …

ये मलाल रह गया,

क्या उसे भी इश्क था…

ये सवाल रह ही गया ..!

☆☆

One melancholy kept on niggling me

even  while  being  separated,

This puzzling doubt kept tormenting me

if he was also in love with me..!

☆☆☆☆☆

इंतजार की हद भी

अजीब होती हैं,

ना दरवाजा बंद होने देती है

और ना आँखें…!

☆☆

The limit of waiting is

too strange, neither it

Permits shutting of door

nor allows closing of eyes

☆☆☆☆☆

डर लगता है इजहार करने से

इतने क़रीब हो तुम…

कि ज़िंदगी बदल देगा मेरी

तुम्हारा इंकार भी, इकरार भी…

☆☆

I’m too scared to disclose my love

B’coz you’re so intimately close that

It’ll  change  my  life  forever,  whether 

it’s  your  refusal  or  acceptance..!

English Literature – Poetry ☆ The Grey Lights# 49 – “Prison…” ☆ Shri Ashish Mulay ☆

Shri Ashish Mulay

?The Grey Lights# 49 ?

☆ – “Prison ☆ Shri Ashish Mulay 

Is there any prison

larger than the body

Is there any misery

beautiful than the biology

 *

Infinite bliss chained

in hope’s finite prison

this dungeon holds

neither logic nor reason

 *

death becomes meaningless

as the birth itself is

greatness, in front of time

not worth a dime

 *

It’s everyone’s punishment

not only yours or mine

let’s have a prison party

while we have a time…

☆ ~Unauctioned Entity…  ~?

Though the mesmerizing style of

his handing over was so charming

Making me resolutely bewitched by the

night of the first journey itself..

*

Exhaustion of days of sleepless 

nights  consumed  me  totally

The Sun was about to rise, that’s

when  I knocked off  tiredly…

*

Life  did  not  spare  me  the

shame of my impoverishment

It  made  me  stretch  out  my

hand  with  the  begging bowl…

*

Then  I was auctioned slavishly,

considering me to be worthless

Notwithstanding  that,  the  world 

even returned me to the auctioneer..!

Just an endless journey ensued

wandering around elatedly…

Life kept on passing just like that

gathering treasures of experiences..!

Evanscent Life ?

Life is ephemeral,

kept telling the coin…

He reversed the trend of time,

as he flipped it, resolutely

 Proclaimed the coin, now:

‘Fleeting evanescence

only inhabits the life…!’

Between the word and its meaning,

there’s a radiant  binding vision,

defining the journey from

miniscule to enormous…!

चुपचाप चल रहे थे

ज़िन्दगी के सफ़र में

तुम पर नज़र क्या पड़ी

बस गुमराह हो गये…

☆☆

Was walking quietly

In the journey of life

Just a glance at you 

Misguided me forever…

☆☆☆☆☆

हुस्न के कसीदे तो 

पढ़ती रहेंगी महफिलें

अगर झुर्रियाँ भी लगें 

हसीं तो समझो इश्क़ है…

☆☆

Citations for the beauty 

Congregations will keep writing…

If wrinkles still find you smitten

Then it’s undying love for sure…

☆☆☆☆☆

कोई रूठे अगर तुमसे तो

उसे फौरन मना लो क्योंकि

जिद्द की जंग में अक्सर

जुदाई  जीत जाती  है…

☆☆

If someone is upset with you

 Conciliate with him immediately

  Coz in the war of stubborness

   Often separation only wins…! 

☆☆☆☆☆

क्या करेगा रौशन उसे आफ़ताब बेचारा

लबरेज़ हो जो खुद अपने ही रूहानी नूर से

जब चाँद ही हो आफ़ताब से ज़्यादा नूरानी 

तो उसे क्या ताल्लुक़ात अंधेरे या उजाले से

☆☆

How can poor sun illumine him 

Who is self-effulgent with spiritual light

When moon itself is brighter than sun

Then what’s its concern with darkness or light

Shri Ashish Mulay

?The Grey Lights# 48 ?

☆ – “Future Lover ☆ Shri Ashish Mulay 

have you found my words

oh my future reader?

have you found me

oh my dear lover?

 

but do not accept me

as I am presented

clothes of my words

must be time tainted

 

wash me with waters

of your stranger eyes

below the ornaments

there my heart lies

 

they will turn my lines

into the borders

not the swords

but I sowed the flowers

 

see me for yourself

and not as they show you

I never hated you

whoever may be you

 

if you are all alone

in your future world

you have found me

just feel my word

 

meaning is to be mined

and not to be sold

word is nothing

unless learned by own

 

And

 

I will have all colours

including the darks

but they are of the night

when your heart sparks

Life Philosophy ?

I  kept on braving every single  

calamity fated in my life

Kept on blowing away every

worry like a leaf in storm…

*

It  was pointless to  mourn over 

every catastrophic  devastation

Elatedly enjoyed celebrating all the

bereavement scripted in my fate…

*

Whatever good or bad I got in the 

life, considered it as my destiny

Whatever  frittered away, happily

consigned that to the oblivion…

*

Where  there’s no  difference felt

between the sadness and joy,

Kept on propelling  my  life to

that  place  of  equanimity…!

Maverick Cloud ?

O’  dear water-laden cloud!  You keep

floating  over  the  dried  arid  land,

with an infectious melody of chiming wind,

Your  wondrous zeal is so heartwarming,

 Your beauty, so celestially enchanting…!

*

But intriguingly, why d’you keep saying:

“I’m just a poor homeless maverick cloud,

Just a wandering bubble of floating water,

everready  to  sacrifice  my  existence!”

*

But  sometimes, you look menacingly scary,

At times you’re  threateningly intimidating,

Yet, most of the times you do incarnate as the

life-sustaining Messiah descended from the

heavens above to save the helpless mankind..!

Never could I explain the condition of my heart

    Nor could I ever express my honest feelings

*

Though he keeps writing letters to me every day

    But  only  to  tear them  apart,  never  to post

*

I keep returning  after  knocking at  your  door

    You’re always fast asleep, never woke you up

*

Though I managed  to seal  my  lips, aptly;

    But the wretched tears always ditch me, sorely

*

He has organized a big musical gathering today

    But hasn’t invited any reveller for fun and frolic..!
