हर घर तिरंगा लहराएगा ( Har Ghar Tiranga Lehrayega ) - Tricolor Will Wave at Every House भुके जिस्मों में दो वक्त जब अन्न का दाना जाएगा, बेरोज़गारी का धब्बा नौजवानों पर से जब मिट जाएगा, आने वाला कल जब लेकर खुशहाली आयेगा। हर घर तिरंगा लहराएगा। Bhooke Jismon Mein Do Waqt Jab Ann Ka Dana Jayega, Berozgari Ka Dhabba Naujawano Par Se Jab Mit Jayega, Aane Wala Kal Jab Lekar Khushhali Aayega, Har Ghar Tiranga Lehrayega. डिपो से राशन उसका जब जायज़ हकदार ही लाएगा, गरीब की सीट पर पैसे वाले का बच्चा पढ़ने ना जाएगा, सरकारी अस्पातल से भी मरीज़ जब जिंदा वापस आएगा। हर घर तिरंगा लहराएगा। Depo Se Rashan Uska Jab Jayaz Hakdaar Hi Layega, Gareeb Ki Seat Par Paise Wale Ka Bachcha Padne Na Jayega, Sarkari Aspatal Se Bhi Mareez Jab Zinda Wapas Aayega, Har Ghar Tiranga Lehrayega . मंदिर, मस्जिद, गिरजे, गुरुद्वारों से बहार जब इंसान आएगा, कोई धर्म नहीं, कोई जात नहीं जब वो हिंदुस्तानी कहलाएगा, छूने से असव्च्छ नहीं, ना छूने से जब वो घर जाएगा। हर घर तिरंगा लहराएगा। Mandir, Masjid, Girje,Gurudwaron S...

वो ईद, ईद न होगी। (Woh Eid, Eid Na Hogi.) Covid Era is a different time and we are experiencing the things differently. Our lifestyles has changed, the way world behaving has changed and it has also changed the way Eid will be celebrated this year. The feast of fasting (Eid Ul Fitr ) will not come with Feast,Fun, Sharing, Caring and meeting our loved ones. But we still make it happier by doing our part in helping the weaker sections of the society which we must do. As a writer and poet I have celebrated this by writing this poem which I am sharing here. Happy Eid.     जब तेरी दीद न होगी, फिर ईद, वो ईद न होगी।   Jab Teri Deed Na Hogi, Phir Eid, Eid Eid Na Hogi. रात में तनहा चाँद का दीदार तो हो जाएगा, मुबारक़बाद देने को मगर मोहल्ला न चिल्लाएगा, चाँद रात पर जब ज़रूरी ख़रीद न होगी, फिर ईद, वो ईद न होगी।   Raat Mein Tanha Chand Ka Deedar To Ho Jaega, Mubarakbad Dene Ko Magar Mohalla Na Chillaega, Chand Raat Par Jab Zaroori Kharid Na Hogi,  Phir Eid, Woh Eid...

क़यामत का मंज़र क्या इससे काम होगा ? (Kayamat Ka Manzar Kya Isse Kam Hoga?) - Will the day of apocalypse lesser than this?  Isn't this line true? Deserted roads, separated from love ones, fearing to connect to dear ones also, losing humanity, etc. Are these not the sign of a doomsday. Such feelings emerged to me the day #Lockdown of 21 days was announced in India as the Coronavirus Pandemic spread increased in India. I am sharing this poem ( ghazal ) here today on 11th day of the lockdown.  फ़ासला अपने दर्मियान कैसे ख़त्म होगा, क़यामत का मंज़र क्या इससे काम होगा।  Fasla Apne Darmiyan Kaise Khatam Hoga, Kayamat Ka Manzar Kya Isse Kam Hoga. ज़िन्दगी थम सी गयी,दोस्ती जैम सी गयी, आँखों-आँखों में मुलाक़ात का कब तक सितम होगा।  क़यामत का मंज़र क्या इससे काम होगा।  Zindagi Tham Si Gayee,Dosti Jam Si Gayee, Aankhon-Aankhon Mein Mulaqat Ka Kab Tak Sitam Hoga. Kayamat Ka Manzar Kya Isse Kam Hoga. अज़ीज़ सब पहलू में बैठे रहते थे, अपनों की झलक के लिए आज दिल नाम होगा।  Azeez Sa...

Zameen Pe Jannat - #SaveKashmir  Some temporary sections of #Artcle370 revoked by central government and our relation with Jammu and Kashmir changed. I am not talking about the geographical changes of dividing it into two union territories but confining of Kashmiri people into their homes. More than 25 days has passed and Kashmir is under curfew without proper schooling, shops are shut, no internet,television, landline, newspaper,media reporting blockade any means of communication with mainland India is blocked. I am writing after a long gap and this issue has provoked me to pen this poem which I am sharing here.  वो ज़मीन पे जन्नत जहाँ इंसान बास्ते हैं, अपनों की सुनने को आज जो आवाज़ तरसते हैं, सियासत की ज़ंजीरों में जकड़े हुए हैं, आँखों में आंसूं भी पकडे हुए हैं, रोकर भी अपने ग़म किसको दिखाएं, बंदूकों की दीवार के पीछे खड़े हैं।  Woh Zameen Pe Jannat Jahan Insaan Baste Hain, Apno Ki Sunne Ko Aaj Jo Aawaaz Taraste Hain, Siyasat Ki Zanjeeron Mein Jakde Hue Hain, Aankhon Mein Aa...

रंगो का त्यौहार - होली ! Holi is celebrated as festival of communal harmony in which Muslim friends are also invited in 'Holi Milan Samarohs' (Holi festival gatherings) and all enjoyed collectively. The practice has not vanished but is limited to few people and in few areas from last four to five years when animosity among the communities has increased due to 'Us' vs 'Them' politics. In this poem I wish the festival of color and joy bring happiness to all equally again. Happy Holi.   रंगो का ये त्यौहार, इस बार, दुःख-दर्द सारे ले कर जाये, नफ़रतें जो बढ़ रही हैं, उन्हें मिटाए।  Rango Ka Ye Tyohar, Iss Baar, Dukh-Dard Sare Le Kar Jaye, Nafratein Jo Bad Rahi Hain, Unhe Mitaye. गुंजियों की मिठास इस बार, करें चमतकार, देश के होते हुए भी जो हैं गद्दार, उनके सवालों के जवाब मिल जाएं, आये करार।  Gunjiyon Ki Mithas Iss Baar, Karein Chamatkaar, Desh Ke Hote Hue Bhi Jo Hain Gaddar, Unke Sawalon Ke Jawab Mil Jayein,  Aaye Karaar. The Festival of color Holi, destroy all animosity...

हिंदुस्तान बनाया।  Republic Day of India celebrates its togetherness in diversity. The constitution of India gives equality and liberty to all its citizen on 26th January 1950. I have written a small Hindi poem to show this feeling and celebrate this day. Happy Republic Day.  टुकड़ों में बटा हुआ था हमने मिलकर इसे बनाया।  घायल ज़मीं के ज़ख्मों को मिलकर मरहम है लगाया।  सारी भुलाकर जात-धर्म सबने सबको अपनाया।  संघर्षों ने सैकड़ों के है ये हिंदुस्तान बनाया।  ####### Tukdon Mein Bata Hua Tha Humne Milkar Ise Banaya. Ghayal Zamin Ke Zakhmon Ko Milkar Marham Hai Lagaya. Saari Bhulakar Jaat-Dharm Sabne Sabko Apnaya. Sangharson Ne Saikdon Ke Hai Ye Hindustan Banaya. #######

Eid-ul-Zuha - Share and Care This festival's actual motive is to recreate Abraham's act of readiness to sacrifice his own son for Allah's command. This not shows Allah promote killing but shows Abraham and his son's trust in God that HE will not do bad to them. That's what exactly happen his son was replaced by an animal and since then it become a tradition among Muslims to replicate the act. It is advised that sacrifice should be perform with cleanliness and with not pomp & show. The meat obtained should be divided in three parts out of which only one part is kept for self and other two are distributed among poor,needy and neighbors,friends respectively. I have written a poem to depict this message of the festival. Happy Eid-ul-Zuha.  A tradition started, not because sacrifice was the command, submission and trust was the God's demand. Festivity lies abated, if the animal's meat eating is your celebration, to share with poor and needy is the intention. ...

मैं क्यूँ लिखता हूँ ? (Mein Kyun Likhta Hun?) I often asked this question to myself that why I write when I don't have many readers?  Not only on blog but in real life also those who know I write stories/poem never complain when I don't write. When I keep things to myself ? When I pour untold emotions in my writing no one ever noticed but I have no regrets and I have some other reasons to write which I better keep to myself. Here just sharing questions which comes in my mind in form of a Hindi poem.   जब कोई पढ़ता नहीं, किसी बात का दुनिया पर असर पड़ता नहीं, किसी का दिल सिसकता नहीं, कोई भी कभी तड़पता नहीं, तो फिर मैं क्यूँ लिखता हूँ ? Jab Koi Padta Nahin, Kisi Baat Ka Duniya Par Asar Padta Nahin, Kisi Ka Dil Sisakta Nahin, Koi Bhi Kabhi Tadapta Nahin, To Phir Mein Kyun Likhta Hun? किसी को भी मेरी बात पर जब हसीं आती नहीं, कोई बात भी तो मेरी नई सोच जगती नहीं, चुपके से दिल धड़काती नहीं, कोई आग भड़काती नहीं, तो फिर मैं क्यूँ लिखता हूँ ? Kisi Ko Meri Baat Par Jab...

Eid in Palestine The world has endless problems some out of mistakes and some out of power yet people decode the every possible way to be happy and satisfied. Palestine is one such place and Palestinians are such people who are trying to remain hopeful when they are surrounded by debris of their houses and having pain of losing their loved ones. They are observing Ramzaan fast in such condition and will join Eid celebrations with the world also. Their spirit and never say die attitude prompted me to write this small poem for Eid dedicated to them. Happy Eid to all.  Shattered, tattered, with bleak hope, faith giving them power to cope, in love, peace, brotherhood has the scope, to tie the festivities & happiness with one tightrope. Their spirit is broken but not destroyed, in small occasions they are satisfied, Eid is the festival of giving and to fill void, pray that on a new day, new cheerfulness buoyed.
