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….

Lost sleep like this

Never could I sleep

Tired night only slept off…

हर रोज़ ख़ुद पे ही बहुत…

हैरान बहुत होता हूँ मैं

कोई तो है मुझ में  जो…

बिल्कुल ही जुदा है मुझ से…!

Everyday  I  keep  getting

too  surprised  on  myself…

There’s someone in me who’s

completely different from me…

☆☆☆☆☆

सारी उम्र गुजर गयी……

खुशियाँ बटोरते बटोरते

बाद में पता चला कि

खुश तो वो लोग थे

जो खुशियाँ बाट रहे थे…

☆☆

Whole life passed away in

Picking up  the  happiness…

Only to find happy were those

Who kept sharing happiness..!

☆☆☆☆☆

कौन कहता है कि

दिल सिर्फ सीने में होता है…

तुमको लिखूँ तो

मेरी उँगलियाँ भी धड़कती हैं…

Who says that

Heart is in chest only

My fingers also throb

When I write to you…!

☆ – “Mirror” – ☆ Shri Ashish Mulay 

O you beautiful

use my eyes as your mirror

O dear look straight into them

and see nothing but a gem

 

see the gem that lacks nothing

life that means something

whatever dirt remaining

tears shall do the cleaning

 

don’t ask me about you

see it in my eyes can you

you won’t see a poor life

but a soul capable of rich life

 

you won’t see a desperate dishonest

but yet to be bloomed, the best

like a bud which looks sharp

before becoming beautiful flower

 

let the love ride your eyes

it shall make you rise

rise above the tears

rise above any mirrors

Grossly helpless by a tiny virus…!

बहुत पा लेने पे भी यही सोचते है…

We only bought slew of difficulties on our own

Kept craving continuously, even after acquiring a lot,

How nice it would be if only I could get something more

Shri Ashish Mulay

? The Grey Lights# 39 ?

☆ – “Colosseum” – ☆ Shri Ashish Mulay 

like a beautiful flower

falling of a branch

landed on the clay

they call worlds play

 

for them you are spectator

and for you they are

here comes the nervousness

they call consciousness

 

and in this brief moment

ride rattling stories

under their hooves

they chain your glories

 

but you will have to play

play with the chains

and embrace this clay

to embrace the way

 

all they want is spectacle

so be your own spectator

dead walls need a sparkle

be the player extraordinaire

 

set your priority not others

but your own chains

brilliant a game when you

are free and them in chains

 

and even if you die then

it won’t go in vein

walks out a free man

not sent or carried from

 

play here in this colosseum

find strength in your cheer

of this really yours arena

be your own Gladiator…

Shri Ashish Mulay

? The Grey Lights# 38 ?

☆ – “Race” – ☆ Shri Ashish Mulay 

It makes me laugh

when I hear someone

saying ‘Life is a Race’

for in a race only one is ‘The Ace’

 

doesn’t it mean all others

the second, the third

are losers not worth a word

weird is the word for the herd

 

for me the life is a multi-front war

that is fought in a fashion

fashion called a ‘Blitzkrieg’

doesn’t work there the rig

 

neither all fronts are won

nor all are lost

what ultimately matters

is nothing but the cost

 

neither there are winners

nor are there losers

with thousand wounds

there are just survivors

 

be the best of what

you were given

if at all there is a run

it is just from your own

Shri Ashish Mulay

☆ – “Her Power” – ☆ Shri Ashish Mulay 

What have you seen of hers

a flesh, a mind or hairs

If that’s all you have seen

then you have not seen

 

to see her truly

is to see her power

and her power is truly seen

when she is not seen

 

powerful force she is

than the gravity itself

for gravity pulls all the matter

but she, all the spirit

 

gravity starts pulling

when it is present

but her power acts

when she is absent ….

 

let her go, let her go her way

and you will see her beauty

for even from a distance

her light will motivate you

 

Like the MOON……
