☆ Eternal Longings (The Bliss of English Shayari) # 1 ?

(Some couplets)

Lifelong Confinement 

Just a bit of confinement

Made you feel so suffocated

But caging the birds lifelong

You always relished so much…!

☆ Unpredictable Time ☆ 

Always felt, it would take a

long time to change the life…

Never knew that the changed time

would change the life in a jiffy..!

 

Wait for a while… ☆ 

 Circumstances have decreed that

it’s not possible to meet again…

But the everlasting faith keeps

insisting to wait for a bit longer..!

Rightful Claim ☆

 Now, even the aloofness has

also started staking its claim…

To fall in love, proclaiming:

 “At least, I am not unfaithful..!”

चलो अब ख़ामोशियों 

की गिरफ़्त में चलते हैं…

बातें गर ज़्यादा हुईं तो 

जज़्बात खुल जायेंगे..!!

☆☆

Let’s get arrested now in

the regime of silence …

If we kept talking anymore

Emotions may get revealed…!!

☆☆☆☆☆

बादलों का गुनाह नहीं कि 

वो  बेमौसम  बरस  गए!! 

दिल  हलका  करने का 

हक  तो  सबको हैं ना!!

☆☆

It’s not the crime of clouds

If they rained unseasonally!

After all everyone is entitled 

To lighten burdened sorrows

☆☆☆☆☆

काश नासमझी में ही

बीत जाए ये ज़िन्दगी

समझदारी ने तो हमसे 

बहुत कुछ छीन लिया…

☆☆

Wish  life could pass 

In  imprudence only

Wiseness alone 

did snatch a lot…

☆☆☆☆☆

दिल ना चाहे फिर भी यारो 

मिलते जुलते रहा करो…

करो शिकायत गुस्से में ही

कुछ ना कुछ तो कहा करो…

☆☆

Heart may not desire still 

Friends keep on meeting

Complain even in anger only

But at least say something…

English Literature – Poetry ☆ The Grey Lights# 42 – “Your kind” ☆ Shri Ashish Mulay ☆

Shri Ashish Mulay

? The Grey Lights# 42 ?

☆ – “Your kind” – ☆ Shri Ashish Mulay 

What can I say about your kind?

for you are ‘the kind’

seen you countless times

yet felt you very few times

 

how blind to the fact I was

a human there was

but when I felt thee

something melted inside me

 

you are just like me

but softer than me

yet harder than me

what’s more beautiful than thee

 

foolish me thought

what I should not

right or not

always hurt you a lot

 

then I found the light

cut the chains of your might

you could believe it or not

but I liked your kind a lot

☆ Remembrances ?

As usual, my hands were

empty when I left your town,

If only I had the life left,

I’d have given that too…

*

Every nook and corner of your

city recognizes me now,

Since I’ve spent my entire

life frequenting this place…

*

This time, I really felt intrigued

while seeing off my friends…

Unexpectedly, they didn’t inflict

any wounds, as always…

*

So many travellers must have

passed through this alley…

They sure could’ve removed

the thorns from the path…

*

Agreed I was a burning stone

in the simmering hot desert…

But you, being a river, at least,

could’ve quenched my thirst..!

☆ Eternal Longings (The Bliss of English Shayari) ?

(Some couplets)

Heartthrob…?

How can anyone say that

Heart is in chest only…?

My fingers too throb deeply

Whenever I write to you…!

 ☆ Unhealed Wounds ☆ 

Wound is of the separated soul

So the pain is rather intense….

Silent lips are the sentinels

of the incomplete fairytale…

☆ Shattered Ego ☆ 

He lost to me but his gentle

conceding pat on my back…

Shattered my ego, my victory,

my pride to the smithereens..!

Lethal Glance

Was trudging along merrily

in the journey of my life…

Your casting a glance on me

made the journey go astray…

गर यूँही घर में बैठा रहा

मार डालेगी तनहाइयाँ…

चल चलें मैखाने में जरा

ये फ़ना दिल बहल जायेगा…

☆☆

If I keep staying at home like this

The aloofness is going to  kill me

O’ dear  let’s  just  go to the bar…

This dying heart will come alive!

☆☆☆☆☆

इक किस्सा अधूरे इश्क़ का

आज भी है दरम्यान तेरे मेरे…

हैं मौजूद साहिलों की रेत पे

पैरों के कुछ निशान तेरे मेरे…

☆☆

A tale of inconclusive love still

exists between us, even today…

Few of our footprints are still

Present on the sand of shores…

☆☆☆☆☆

मरता तो कोई नही

किसी के प्यार में…

बस यादें कत्ल करती

रहती है किश्तों-किश्तों में…

☆☆

Nobody ever dies in

someone’s  love…

In installments just the

Memories  keep killing you…

☆☆☆☆☆

दीदार की तलब हो तो

नज़रें जमाये रखिये,

क्योंकि नक़ाब हो या नसीब, 

सरकता  तो  जरूर है…

☆☆

If urge of her glimpse is there

Then keep an eye on it patiently

Coz whether it’s the  mask or

luck , it moves for sure…

Shri Ashish Mulay

? The Grey Lights# 41 ?

☆ – “The God Question” – ☆ Shri Ashish Mulay 

Have you seen glass pot filled with water

where the fishes are colourful swimmer

 *

for fish is contained inside the pot

how really can he see the pot

all he can feel is that glass wall

holding together this water ball

 *

fish’s job isn’t to define the pot

for it is impossible of the task

fish’s job is to understand the water

pot’s job is only to hold that water

 *

but one day comes,

in a dream one fish awakens

going to the glass wall

all he sees many reflections

 *

revealed other fishes his tale

how the pot removed the veil

fishes bothered more about the pot

have to tread waters they forgot

 *

when they assumed they understood

why can’t we create says their mood

made their own pot inside the water ball

all it takes is just that invisible wall

 *

started living behind those walls

but forgot it should be of a glass

that’s when they became blind

for they were trapped in game of mind

 *

how similar we are to those fishes

existing in the water called ‘universes’

held by that glass pot called ‘God’

think twice when say ‘MY’ God….

☆ Who will ever see ?

Who’ll ever see beautiful sights

when you’re present there..?

Everyone will see you only in

the fair, who will see the fair..?

*

Where enchanting songs have

been enthralling for long …

Who will ever endure the

sombre tunes of silence there?

*

Hope not that your business of

liquor comes to a grinding halt…

Who’ll ever buy your drinks,

when her eyes are present there..!

*

Don’t make entire gathering

so inebriatingly senseless

If there aren’t any spectators,

then who’ll watch the show?

*

O’ Lord of the universe!

Your world is so beautiful,

But who’ll dream of You when

You are present there live..!

Infatuated Endearment… ?

If we ever get separated in the life

My heart will never be happy again,

Seemingly, it may start feeling happy

But in reality it won’t be happy again..!

*

Though he may appear unhappy

but in actuality, he is rather happy

While I’m not happy but I’d never

appear that I’m really unhappy..!

*

Never make my heart a makeshift

stopover of your fickle heart,

I know it for sure that your heart

Would never stay there for long..!

*

Yours is more of an infatuation

than the real seriousness about it

How can a huge tree ever grow well

in such a diminutively little pot..!

*

Too much of undue caring also

spoils a prosperous relationship,

If you start getting too much scared,

Then, oneday you’ll not feel scared at all..!
