☆ – “Over the Time…” – ☆ Shri Ashish Mulay 

Over the time

my buds will grow flowers

flowers will bear fruits

fruits will steer seeds

 

Over the time

my blood will turn thick

heart will miss the blink

in the wisdom, my passion will flip

 

Over the time

my blade will rust

rust will settle in dust

with wind the dust will burst

 

BUT

 

Over the time

my words will make sense

sense will make story

story will turn the dust to glory…

दर्द का आलम

कुछ ऐसा है कि

दर्द अब अपना सा

लगने लगा है..!

☆☆

Condition of the pain is

somewhat such that

The pain has started to

feel like very own..!

☆☆☆☆☆

सियासत में तो कभी अपनी परछाई

तक भी ऐतबार नहीं करना चाहिए

दिन में तो एक बार हमारी परछाई तक

साथ छोड़ दिया करती है..!

☆☆

In politics, one should never

trust even own shadow…

Once a day even our own

shadow also leaves us..!

☆☆☆☆☆

तकलीफें बाजार में नहीं

बिका करतीं यारों, अक्सर

बांटने वाला भी कोई अपना

बहुत नजदीकी ही होता है…

☆☆

Dear friends, problems are

not sold in the market,

Often the person giving them

happens to be someone close

Shri Ashish Mulay

☆ – “So called…” – ☆ Shri Ashish Mulay 

Life is so short

so short

but in dreaming it goes long..

 

Life is so restricted

so strict

where it fears other life..

 

Life is so framed

so tightly

where scene is always cropped..

 

Life is so contained in words

so densely

where meaning is ever evolving..

 

Life is defined

so vaguely

where Love is a sin..

 

Life is jailed

forever

in the hope of judgement..

 

Life is so good

damn good

for those who bring it to others…

Obsession… ☆

☆☆

वही जिद वही हसरत,

न दर्दे दिल की कमी हुई…

अजीब है मुहब्बत हमारी

न मिल सके न खत्म हुई…!

☆☆

Same madness, same desire

No lessening of pain in heart…

Strange is our love, neither could

we meet, nor did our love finish…!

☆☆☆☆☆

 ☆ Attitude… ☆

☆☆

हमने तो फ़क़त आईना

ही दिखाया था उन्हें…

वो तो हमें सख़्त तेवर

ही दिखने लगे…!

☆☆

I had just shown

them the mirror…

They started showing

me their attitude…!

☆☆☆☆☆

 ☆ Someone… ☆

☆☆

न थाम सके हाथ

न पकड़ सके दमन,

बड़े क़रीब से उठकर

यूंही चला गया कोई…

☆☆

Couldn’t just clasp the hands

couldn’t even gras the stole

Someone just got up from

so close and went away…!

Shri Ashish Mulay

? The Grey Lights# 08 ?

☆ – “Immortal…” – ☆ Shri Ashish Mulay 

If you can stand up

on the first ray of sun

when you are destroyed

on the last ray of light

 

If you can stand up

as a flowering tree

when you are knocked

down by the flowers

 

If you can gather up

all your courage

blown away by the

harsh winds of reality

 

If you can find

the will to move on

when you see

no road to go on

 

If you can manage

to live on the ground

when your body

is rotting deep underground.

 

Then you will become

one with the many

and be blessed…

blessed with ‘Immortality’.

? ~ Trikaal Mahadev… ??

In the longing to be immortal,

they kept fighting and

dying for a drop of nectar…

On the other side,

Mahadev became Trikal,

the timelessly pervasive

after drinking Halahal,

the deadliest poison..!

Occupants of Heart ☆

☆☆

जो हमेशा आपके

दिल में रहते हैं…

उनकी बातें दिल पे

ना लेना कभी…!

Never take the words

of those to the heart…

Who are an indispensable

part of your heart…!

Self-respect 

थोड़ी सी खुद्दारी भी

लाज़मी है, दोस्तों…

उसने बात नहीं की तो

हम ने भी छोड़ दी…!

Little bit of self-respect is

also unavoidable, friends,

When he didn’t talk to me,

I also brushed him off…!

New Life… 

☆☆☆ 

उस मोड से शुरू करनी है

फिर से नई जिंदगी,

जहाँ सारा शहर अपना था

और तुम एक अजनबी…!

Need to start the life allover

again from that point…

Where the whole city was mine

and you were just a stranger…!

यहां वक़्त पर कोई किसी

के काम नहीं आता  है…

हमनें तो अपने आप को

भी आज़मा कर देखा है..!

Here nobody comes

forward to help…

I’ve  tried it even

on  myself…!

☆ – “Judgement…” – ☆ Shri Ashish Mulay 

You will be judged

not by men not by God

not on a judgement day

but on a goddamn everyday

 

but…you “won’t be judged” for :

 

if were you a weak man

or a strong woman

a devoted vegetarian

or follower of a food chain

 

if were you an atheist

or a decorated priest

a good follower

or a bad believer

 

if you went to the temple

or went to the brewery

just loved one

or loved many

 

but…you will be “judged” for :

 

if you didn’t use the voice

or said as intended

if kept all in dark

or said truth even in lying

 

if you played on a dice

or made logical choice

if were just the life

or a ‘humane’ life…

O forge-master, Forge me

seen breaking in me

now show making of me

O forge-master, Forge me

in crucible molten me

nothing’s more fluid than me

who’s wiser than thee

 

O forge-master, Forge me

nature’s wind has blown me

from your hammer bless me

who’s kinder than thee

 

O forge-master, Forge me

your flowers watching me

your anvil waiting for me

who’s quicker than thee

 

O forge-master, Forge me

break me and make me

make me and break me

who’s patient than thee

 

O forge-master, Forge me

put your will in me

forge your ‘steel’ in me

who’s active than thee…
