Woh chale bhi gaye to kia hua
Mein unhein roz yaad karta hoon
Dil mein rehta he bus khayal unka
Un hee kee dhun mein jeeta marta hoon
Kon hoon mein? samajh na paya kabhi
Khoj mein kion Khuda kee
rehta hoon?
Loag kuch aur hee samajhte hein
Soach per unki aahein bharta hoon.
Sochta hoon ke mein bhi mar jata
Jab teri qabr se guzarta hoon
Teri ruswaee ka he khauf
mujhe
Warna mein kab kisi se darta hoon?
Virgin snow,
like idle perfection,
exists too short a time
for eternity to reckon.
So instead of standing still
take a step in any direction.
A left, then a right,
and a left yet again.
The prints in the snow
will tell exactly where you've been.
There's more to thee
than meets the eye
I shall warrant.
Much more akin to a canvas
lying dormant.
As eternity is reckoned:
who has time for idleness?
To let waste such un-noted potential?
A wise man once said,
"There's a lifetime in a second
and each precious second is essential!"
NOTE: I was inspired by the Danish poet, Piet Hein, inventor of the Grook form of poetry. The particular poem goes like this...
As eternity
is reckoned
there's a lifetime
in a second.
Do a Google search and check him out. You WON'T be disappointed.
Mujhey pata hey ..
tujhey khabar hey ..
zurd chehron per udasi k saye..
chahat k sub rung khochukey hein ..
hum mukhalif simton k raahi..
kisi aur k hamsafar hochukey hein ...!!
