Ashamed of Being a Hindu !! ??

Mark that, the title includes an Exclamation mark as well as a Question mark at the end, as even I am confused which expression should I follow.

Jis Hindu kaa Khoon naa khaule, Khoon Nahi Vo Paani hai … (Those Hindu’s whose blood doesn’t boils, don’t have blood but water … ) is one of the slogans coined by RSS. And who gave them the right to constitute this in their own terms.

“Jai Siya Ram” used to be the cry of those, who attacked Muslims in the 1993 riots of Mumbai. How beautifully, L K Advani and his associates, modified one of the most sacred lords of Indian Mythology as a catalyst for war.

I am myself a Hindu, but no Shloka ever taught me to kill people following other religions, for the sake of “preserving Hinduism.” This shows How “insecure” we are!

“Will Raise Hindu population to 100%”, says Pravin Togadia, a leader of VHP (Vishwa Hindu Parishad). I pity, he never said, “Will raise Indian GDP to 10%” OR “Will raise Literacy rate among Hindu Females to 100%.” One’s ambitions defines his way of achieving success.

They talk about Hindu Population, they talk about conversion, then they themselves talk about reconversion. “Hum hindu hain, Hindustan Humara hai, Hum yahan ke maalik hain”, said former RSS pracharak and VHP organizing secretary, Dinesh Chandra. He has forgotten those wars in which millions of Muslims, Christians, Jains, Shikhs have lost their lives to keep India free and Independent.

The Image portrayed by these, so called saviors and keepers of Hinduism, have tainted the impression of Hinduism. I won’t ever comment that they are not “Hindus”, Indeed they are, But this is not the Hinduism that we practice. 

Tehreek – e – Talibaan Pakistan (TTP), performing monstrous acts on the name of “Allah”. Indeed they are Muslims, but this is not what “Islam” teaches. I have been listening since my childhood that, “Islam prohibits the killing of innocents, one innocent killed is the killing of humanity.” But we all are much familiar with the inhuman and coward act they have done in Peshawar. From centuries, Politicians, Terrorists have been using Religions to frame their agendas. Religion seems to be a very sensitive and obvious topic, through which Mass can relate.

The much trending, “conversion row”, activated by RSS and VHP, is another silly example of foolish facts and logics stated by these groups. They are the only ones shouting that the hindu population is declining, while most of the statistical studies have debunked the theories of declining hindu numbers. And even if its true, I feel substantially happy that at least hindus are sensible enough to initiate Population Control drive in India, and are contributing in the development of the country.

Interestingly, “Reconversion” is being promoted as a voluntary return, while “conversion” is said to be illegitimate in few cases and legitimate in the other. Now the question arises, “How can a religion, into which one is born without choice, be voluntary ?” Pulling up threads on Conversion or Reconversion harms the shadow of Democracy. Indian is a Democratic and a Secular state. Where one, has a right to choose his/her faith. Conversions signifies mobility, flexibility and plurality.

Kuran, Bible or Gita, basis are same. It’s insane and a never ending debate to talk which is superior. What’s good about our country is that we have freedom to follow, whichever we want to. What RSS and VHP have been doing on the name of Hinduism, is baseless and useless. When we have problems like poverty, illiteracy and unemployment, we are busy discussing Religion Conversion. Those books are same for all of us, it depends upon the intellect of the reader how he/she interprets the words written in those books.

Yours Sincerely, An Indian Muslim ...

I am Ali Akhtar, a 21 years old, pursuing my bachelors in Law. I am a permanent resident of India, live at ‘Shivshakti’ Enclave.

Yesterday I met a guy on my way back from college. I gave him lift to a place on the way. After some casual discussions about job, work and family, he asked me, “Are you proud of being a Muslim? ” I looked at him from the right most corner of my eyes, with a blunt face, trying to understand the intent of his question. He explained further, “I mean Allah has given you a perfect life, so in return what have you done for Islam.” I didn’t replied, and tried to explore his thoughts. He continued, “This country is known as ‘Hindu’stan, don’t you think, that we are always dominated, these people show that they care for us, we are equal, but is it really like that.” In a strong and terrifying tone he said, “You remember godhra, 1982, we have lost so many of our brothers and sisters, Now it’s time for us to Unite and teach them a lesson.” 

It was enough to test my patience, I stopped, asked him to step down of my bike, looked straight into his eyes and said, “Islam never taught me to take revenge, it has taught me to spread love. Whatever happens it happens because of people like you. Yes I am a Muslim, but I am an Indian first.” And drove towards my home.

Few days later, I was enjoying a weekend at my home. There was a knock, my sister opened up the door, there were 4 men outside, wearing saffron clothes. They asked for water as they have probably missed the way, they were heading towards. I did the courtesy, one of them thanked me and said, “We are here to guide you to convert your religion.” Well obviously I was shocked. The other one continued, “Religions are just for the sake of politics, how does it matter to you whether you are Muslim or  Hindu or Christian.” The third one said, “Convert to Hindu. Along with your whole family, we will give you 4 lakh rupees, 1 lakh per family member. In addition will give you a BPL card, and ensure you government job. Also, if you can convince your friends to do so, we will commission you 50,000 per person.” I angrily, took the half empty glass of water, bashed the door and shouted at them to get out of my house. 

Guess, what all would be going through my mind. Fear, Anxiety, Anger.

Yes I am a muslim, 

1. I live in a locality dominated by hindus, the voice that wakes me up at 5 in the morning, is the sound of the loudspeaker from the Temple 50 Mtrs away from my house.
2. I voted for Mr. Narendra Modi, in these elections, and not any of the Muslim candidates because I knew that he is the one who can bring the desired changes in India.
3. I am as terrified on the Godhra Kand, Parliament Attack, Mumbai Bomb blasts as you are. Trust me, I want Dawood Ibrahim and Hafiz Saeed to be executed as much as you want.
4. Yes I have by hearted Quraan and I have also by hearted Our National Anthem, National Song and Preamble of The Indian Constitution.
   
   
5. Yes I am a big fan of cricket. I never miss a single match of Indian Team. I support India, when it’s India Vs. Pakistan.
6. Don’t ask me If I Love India or Not. How would you feel if someone will ask you the same, about your mother who gave birth to you, took care of you and brought you up. India is the same to me.
   
   
7. For many of you, Shahrukh, Salman or Huma Qureshi will be among the favorites. Well, I have seen Amitabh Bachhan’s Sharabi 22 times and posters of Dipika Padukone are in my bed room.
8. Lata Mangeshkar is one of my favorite singers. I am sure many of you tune to the tracks of Mohammad Rafi every evening. Singers of many Indian Patriotic songs and spiritual songs are Muslims, and its even more fascinating that those songs are played at every temple daily.
9. I celebrate Diwali, I love those lights and tasty sweets. I celebrate Holi also, I love Colors. And I invite friends over Eid, they love Sewaiyaan.
10. I have a crush, a Hindu Rajput girl. Trust me it’s not Love Jihad, I just love the way she smiles.
11. And I won’t change my Religion, Not because I disrespect Hinduism but because I respect Islam. I am a Muslim by birth, but an Indian by choice.

I feel highly disappointed after reading all those media headlines daily. Those political and religious groups. There are some political jerks on your side, there are some political jerks on our side. Lets Unite, Lets show them that we are on one side and they are on the other. India is one of the biggest Secular states in the world. People have fought and died for this country, as freedom fighters or on the borders, regardless of their religion. I request all of you to stay united, stay together. Spread Love, and not allow these bastards to divert us from the path of Humanism & Nationalism.

Jai Hind, Jai Bharat

Yours Sincerely
An Indian Muslim

When My Girlfriend got Married ... !

Yes, Love is all about what you "give" and not "what you ask for".

Two Years before, when we met for the first time. It was the December winter. That dark night, you were standing across that road, waiting for the bus, shivering, breathing heavily and in your mind playing a game with your “foggy breath”, like an 8 year old kid. 

The journey started when we were sitting “together” on a double sitter seat, despite of the fact that the whole bus was empty.

From all those nights to this very night, when you are standing there, with someone else, smiling, promising to be his for the whole life. It’s the same situation. A dark December winter, you are standing across the stage, smiling on the photographers and in your mind, playing a game with those gloomy lights, just like an 8 year old kid.

We saw many days together, we have seen many nights together. We have seen those falling stars, we have seen sunlights together. Days before you were into my arms saying, “I want to melt.” And Today you are there, Yes Right There into those stiff Glossy Colours, Smiling !

And that’s me, right over there, in that dark sky, among those Stars, Ready to fall on your next wish ... :)

Maa ( माँ )

I wrote this in my 1st year. Please don't relate things, don't think too much. Just Read It. :) [If you are unable to understand words written in Roman English, Please refer to the text written in Hindi Below.]

Apni har galti pe pachtava mai aaj karta hoon ...

Rota hoon bahut, aur tujhe yaad karta hoon ...

Jab is duniya me aaya to tune sambhala tha mujhe ...

Har dard sahkar, 9 mahine apni kokh me paala tha mujhe ...

Jab aankhe khuli to mai har kisi se anjaan tha ...

Zubaan pe sabse pahle, "Maa", bas yahi ek naam tha ...

Mujhe aaj bhi yaad hai vo paalna jisme mai soya karta tha ...

Tu ek pal bhi aankhon se ojhal ho jaaye to roya karta tha ...

Jab chalna nahi aata tha, to ghutno pe chalta tha ...

Jab pairon pe utha, to teri ungli pakadke sambhalta tha ...

Bhatak gaya hoon mai, mujhe raasta dikha jaa ...

Mai haath jodta hoon Maa, ab to aa jaa .....

Bahaut shaitaan tha mai,to sab bhagate the mujhe ...

Meri har galti ke liye taane sunaate the tujhe ...

Tu mujhe sabse door le jaa kar, baitha ke samjhaati thi ...

Apne haath se khaana khilaakar, thande aanchal me sulaati thi ...

Teri aawaz ko taras raha hoon Maa, ek baar beta bula de ...

Bhookh bahut lagti hai aajkal, apne haath ki roti khila de ...

Bahut door hoon maa tujhse, to aaj rota hoon ...

Khana acha nahi banta, aksar bhukhe hi sota hoon ...

Nahi sunana kuch aur Maa, bas ek lori suna jaa ...

Mai haath jodta hoon Maa, ab to aa jaa ......

Mujhe yaad hai ki kaise ghar chalati thi tu ...

Khud to ek saadi saalon pahanti thi, 

par mujhe har mahine kapde dilaati thi tu ...

Khaane kaa bada shaukeen tha mai, 

to roz kuch naya banati thi tu ...

Jab chot lagi thi haath pe mere,

to dudh apne haath se pilaati thi tu ...

Takiye ki chahat nahi hai, bas teri god me sona hai ...

Baha ke sara dard apna, tera aanchal bhigona hai ...

Pahle kamra tu saaf karti thi, ab kahan safai hoti hai ...

Sheeshe ke saamne joote, aur jooton ki jagah razai hoti hai ...

Bistar pe zuraaben aur zameen pe shirt sukhaayi hoti hai ...

Pahle kamra tu saaf karti thi, ab kahan safai hoti hai ...

Kamra jaisa hai rahne de, bas tu apni ek jhalak dikha jaa ...

Mai haath jodta hoon maa, ab to aa jaa ...

अपनी हर ग़लती पे पछतावा, मै आज करता हूँ ...
रोता हूँ बहुत, और तुझे याद करता हूँ ...

जब इस दुनिया मे आया तो तूने सँभाला था मुझे ...
हर दर्द सहकर, 9 महीने अपनी कोख में पाला था मुझे ...

जब आँखे खुली तो मै हर किसी से अंजान था ...
ज़ुबान पे सबसे पहले, "माँ", बस यही एक नाम था ...

मुझे आज भी याद है वो पालना जिसमे मै सोया करता था ...
तू एक पल भी आँखों से ओझल हो जाए तो रोया करता था ...

जब चलना नही आता था, तो घुटनों पे चलता था ...
जब पैरों पे उठा, तो तेरी उंगली पकड़के संभलता था ...

भटक गया हूँ मै, मुझे रास्ता दिखा जा ...
मै हाथ जोड़ता हूँ माँ, अब तो आ जा .....


बाहौत शैतान था मै,तो सब भगाते थे मुझे ...
मेरी हर ग़लती के लिए ताने सुनाते थे तुझे ...

तू मुझे सबसे दूर ले जाकर, बैठा के समझाती थी ...
अपने हाथ से खाना खिलाकर, ठंडे आँचल में सुलाती थी ...

तेरी आवाज़ को तरस रहा हूँ माँ, एक बार बेटा बुला दे ...
भूख बहुत लगती है आजकल, अपने हाथ की रोटी खिला दे ...

बहुत दूर हूँ माँ तुझसे, तो आज रोता हूँ ...
खाना अच्छा नहीं बनता, अक्सर भूखे ही सोता हूँ ...

नही सुनना कुछ और माँ, बस एक लोरी सुना जा ...
मै हाथ जोड़ता हूँ माँ, अब तो आ जा ......


मुझे याद है की कैसे घर चलती थी तू ...
खुद तो एक साड़ी सालों पहनती थी, 
पर मुझे हर महीने कपड़े दिलाती थी तू ...

खाने का बड़ा शौकीन था मै, 
तो रोज़ कुछ नया बनाती थी तू ...
जब चोट लगी थी हाथ पे मेरे,
तो दूध अपने हाथ से पिलाती थी तू ...

तकिये की चाहत नहीं है, बस तेरी गोद मे सोना है ...
बहा के सारा दर्द अपना, तेरा आँचल भिगोना है ...

पहले कमरा तू सॉफ करती थी, अब कहाँ सफाई होती है ...
शीशे के सामने जूते, और जूतों की जगह रज़ाई होती है ...
बिस्तर पे जुराबें और ज़मीन पे शर्ट सुखाई होती है ...
पहले कमरा तू सॉफ करती थी, अब कहाँ सफाई होती है ...

कमरा जैसा है रहने दे, बस तू अपनी एक झलक दिखा जा ...
मै हाथ जोड़ता हूँ माँ, अब तो आ जा ...

Why You Should Start Studying ? : 7 Most Practical Reasons !!

Hello Folks! Welcome to the time of sleepless nights and bathless days. When Chai & Coffee bills increase like anything and When the guy at the "PhotoCopy" shop becomes our best friend. Welcome To EXAMS ... !!

Since our childhood we have been fed with thousands of reasons as, "Why we Should Study ?" From Leisure, to Money, to a Comfortable Lifestyle, our parents have tried to boost us up with every possible perk. But today I have tried to provide you guys, 7 Most Practical Reasons as, "Why we Should Start Studying ?"

1. Life is Good in a 4 BHK with Dolby surround sound, and Central AC: Well, starting with few most common answers. All that we are enjoying today is because our parents our earning. But what after we are 25 !! So start studying to keep on enjoying all those luxurious settings. 

2. A Beautiful Wife: How many times does it happen that you see an "Angel" like girl, with a "Black Mamba" type guy [No Offenses, I am no racist -_-], and drop your jaw with a sighing feedback, "Yaar isko ye kaise mil gayi .. !!" Well, Welcome to reality, "Money Rules The World." There comes a time, when our so called "Bimbos" are smart enough to make a life long lasting choice. So start studying, to have a beautiful wife, if you are relying on an arranged marriage. :P

3. Marry Your Love: This is one of my favorite points, "One of the best feelings in the world is when your GirlFriend becomes your wife." So start studying if you want to Marry Your Love. It's a bitter reality of life my dear "Love can't pay bills". It's good that you love her, but to keep her, you have to earn. And I guess, the priceless love at least deserves this much. ;)

4. Your Honeymoon "Paris or Palampur": Indeed a very important point. Man! You have to study at least for this. If you can stay awake a few nights now, then you will decide the nights after marriage will be in "Paris or Palampur", "Switzerland or Shimla", "Malaysia or Musoorie".

5. A Lamborghini: Well, that's my choice, you can dream about your favorites. If you want to buy that "White Beauty", start studying, because it costs some "Bloody 2.5 god damn crores at least". 

6. Pay Bills on a Family Dinner/Outing: Again, one of my Favorites. Our parents have been paying for us since past many years. Imagine the feeling, when you can hold your father's hand and say, "I can pay today .." :) . Remember when you were ill, they arranged the best possible treatment, they will need you the same way, a few years from now, prepare yourself to be a good son/daughter.

7. Live Life King Size: Walk Like your own master, Talk like a personality and Live like a King, everyone wants all this. Fortunately OR Unfortunately, You have to "WorkHard" for all this. ;) :)

Things are not that difficult, they never were, Rather, we are the ones who make them tough. I remember once, one of my teachers told me in 8th standard when he saw me practicing signatures at the end of my notebook, 

" 'Scratch' your Pens Now, so that you can enjoy 'Signing' in the future, AND if you will waste time 'Signing' Now, You have to 'Scratch' your Pens in Future."

Reforming Indian Education System ...

“Education is the manifestation of perfection already existing in a man”

-- Swami Vivekanand

Indeed, the words of wisdom from a great India icon. An Indian Personality, obviously with an Indian “introvert” mindset, delivering an Indian thought. But, do we Indian adhere to it.

Shall I expect my parents to allow me to drop everything and roam around in this world, just because I like to explore and write. Will our parents allow any of us to drop engineering and learn music, dance or even start a business, Just because we like it. The answer is an obvious NO. 

Sorry, “Swami Vivekananda”, due to traditional theoretical attitude, “We love to read about you and your thoughts but can’t follow you.” 

Ironically, you won’t find any of the Indian Universities in World’s top 100 Universities, BUT Ironically, you will find an Indian at every top and respected position in this world. Let it be UNO, WTO, Worl Bank, Harvard, Cambridge, USA, UK, Canada, Australia, Japan, Germany or anywhere else, you will find an Indian name into the top chairs. 

“Education System of India”, has been the hottest topic of the past 10 years for discussion. We discuss, Indeed, we discuss a lot. But certainly, we are not able to implement anything. We go to US and UK for higher education as they have a better system to educate, but we don’t try to pick up those good points from them and process them in India.

I won’t talk much about the Present Scenario, or the statistics, Because all of us are well aware of that. Rather, As a citizen of Democratic India, I would like to suggest some of the reforms to the Indian Education System, to make it better, stronger and Sustainable.

• Starting with the various boards in India: We have different state boards, a centralized C.B.S.E board, a so called “much difficult” I.C.S.E board and many others. Just like the “Diverse India”, our basics of Education are also very much Diverse.
  
  We should have a single Board of Education, for the whole nation. So that it will be easier for us make laws, policies for them. Because now if we start to make any change, we face problems like, marking system, “strictness” and course plan of different Boards are different. A single board can have all the state level subjects, languages etc, as options. This way all will be equalized, in terms of quality of basic education.

• In the view of “easing the pressure” of the student community, we have fallen into a wrong cycle of easing the course plan till 10th and then suddenly give them an IQ booster in 11th and 12th.
  
  We are actually missing the real reason of “Pressure”. Well, it’s not the studies, it’s not the course. It’s the “society.” If someone can do what he likes to do, the term called “pressure” can be erased.
  
  I suggest to include topics like Differentiation, Integration, Vectors etc. From 9th or 10th class onwards so that it suddenly does not strike like an “alien” in 11th & 12th. This way we will ease some pressure from 11th class. Also the students opting for commerce or arts, may skip mathematics as a subject altogether, and study whatever they like.

• Primary School Teachers: Education starts from the basics, so teachers teaching us the basics should be efficient enough. Primary school teachers are appointed by BTC or B.Ed.
  
  The procedure for selection of these courses is simply a written test, although they are going to educate “The Next Generation” for the coming years. Most of these BTC & B.Ed teachers are not interested in any kind of “Generation Building”, rather they are just bothered about 20,000 rupees per month.
  
  Hence, I propose to conduct a GD (Group Discussion) or PI (Personnel Interview) for the aspirants of these courses, to judge their seriousness as well as willpower for such a great job. Just like we have it for applying in the private companies or other reputed government jobs.

• To further Enhance the quality of teachers, we should have a separate University to make teachers. Just like we have for engineers, doctors etc. Where they will be taught and groomed just to become a teacher.

• The reservation has been an epicenter of the issues in the Indian Education System. The simple reason offered for granting reservation to some communities is that, “They are not in connect with proper primary education, hence they are offered reservation at graduation.”
  
  First of all, that could have been the case 40 years from now. But, now even the guys from backward communities are liable of good education, still they are offered reservation. Hence, reservation should be given on the basis of “Income”, if it’s has to be given, and not on the basis of caste or religion.  
  
  Secondly, we should ensure compulsory and quality primary education for all, by following the reform mentioned above, so that we can remove reservation entirely, maybe 10 years from now.
• Assignments & Project Based Practical Education: The Idea is simple, instead of sessional or midterm examinations, we should give weekly or monthly assignments or projects to students. And they will be evaluated on the simple credit basis.
  
  Students have to achieve some set credits to pass the respective semester. For that they have to do a set of assignments or projects. Instead of a written examination, they should give presentations and vivas on the topic of the project. This will ensure practical as well as theoretical knowledge.
• Mushrooming of Engineering, Diploma, and other such institutes and universities is a “proxy development” for our education system. Such institutes, do not provide proper infrastructure or opportunities for such a, technical course.
  
  So instead of granting licenses and permission to every second college in the country. The Indian government, should increase the number of seats in the colleges, with good quality education and infrastructure. Because the low profile institutes, use infrastructure, power and other resources, but what they produce in return, is hardly of any use to the nation or mankind.
  
  Hence, No. of seats in IITs, NITs and other prominent private and government colleges and universities, must be increased, so that more and more people can pursue a quality education.

Education was not ever meant to be what it has become today. Even a farmer can be educated irrespective of that fact that he can't even write his name. The whole idea of Education is to become aware about yourself and your surroundings, but we are failing that pathetically.

The list of educational reforms can be never ending. But through this article, I have just tried, to provide some basic and obvious reforms to the Indian Education System.

“Learning is like a cow of desire, it yields in all seasons.”

-- Chanakya

Hence, I wish a Strong, Feasible and Sustainable Education system in my country.

Jai Hind, Jai Bharat.

Shayari #013 ... ( शायरी #013... )

Nahi peeta hun yaaron mai, aaj ek raaz mujhe sabko batana hai ....
Ye nasha aashiqui kaa hai, uski nigaahon me basa ek maikhana hai ....

Naa roko ab koi, doob jaane do is nashe me,
Bujha do ye shammayen aaj ghar andheron se sajana hai ....

Aaj phir hai uske labon pe, kisi aur ki saanson ki mehak,
Vo phir jhuth bolegi, aaj phir peene kaa bahana hai ....

Kya shayari kya gazalen, sab bejaan hain uske aage ,
Naadan hun mai, aur uski nigaahen shayraana hain ....

Roz ek bheed hoti hai, uski nigaahon se roobaroo ,
Use kaho ab to pehchaan le, ek shaayar bhi uska deewana hai ....

"romeo"

....................................................................................................................

नहीं पीता हूँ यारों मै, आज एक राज़ मुझे सबको बताना है ...
ये नशा आशिकी का है, उसकी निगाहों में बसा एक मैख़ाना है ...

ना रोको अब कोई, डूब जाने दो इस नशे में,
बुझा दो ये शम्माएँ आज घर अँधेरों से सजाना है ...

आज फिर है उसके लबों पे, किसी और कि साँसों की महक,
वो फिर झूठ बोलेगी, आज फिर पीने का बहाना है ...

क्या शायरी क्या ग़ज़लें, सब बेजान हैं उसके आगे,
नादान हूँ मै, और उसकी निगाहें शायराना हैं ...

रोज़ एक भीड़ होती है, उसकी निगाहों से रूबरू,
उसे कहो अब तो पहचान ले, एक शायर भी उसका दीवाना है ...

Chehra ( चैहरा )

Chehre pe haste chehre, chehron pe hasta chehra ...
Ek muskurahat ki aad me, thahakon se bachta chehra ...

"Kaun saa naqaab pahnu main ?", Khud hi se ladta chehra ...
Jitna sajata khud ko, utna hi bigadta chehra ...

AAg se darte chehre, par chehre se 'jalta' chehra ...
Chehre pe haste chehre, chehron pe hasta chehra ...

Chehron se milte chehre, chehron se chupta chehra ...
Kuch saans lete chehre, un chehron me ghut ta chehra ...

Kitaabon ko padhte chehre, un chehron ko padhta chehra ...
Andheron me jeete chehre, un chehron se darta chehra ...

Har taraf hain naqaab, naqaabon me jeeta chehra ...
Naqaabon ki hai keemat, har keemat pe bikta chehra ...

Samundar me khada hokar, lehron pe hasta chehra ...
Chehre pe haste chehre, chehron pe hasta chehra ...

Bikne vaale chehre, bechne vala chehra,
par khareedne vala, ek naqaab hai ...
Padhta jaa ae shayar, yun hi sareaam,
har chehra ek kitaab hai ...

Har mehnge naqaab ke piche, chupa ek sasta chehra ...
Chehre pe haste chehre, chehron pe hasta chehra ..

"romeo"

.........................................................................................

चेहरे पे हस्ते चेहरे, चेहरों पे हस्ता चेहरा ...
एक मुस्कुराहट की आड़ मे, ठहाकों से बचता चेहरा ...

"कौन सा नक़ाब पहनूँ मैं ?", खुद ही से लड़ता चेहरा ...
जितना सजाता खुद को, उतना ही बिगड़ता चेहरा ...

आग से डरते चेहरे, पर चेहरे से 'जलता' चेहरा ...
चेहरे पे हस्ते चेहरे, चेहरों पे हस्ता चेहरा ...

चेहरों से मिलते चेहरे, चेहरों से चूपता चेहरा ...
कुछ साँस लेते चेहरे, उन चेहरों मे घुटता चेहरा ...

किताबों को पढ़ते चेहरे, उन चेहरों को पढ़ता चेहरा ...
अँधेरों में जीते चेहरे, उन चेहरों से डरता चेहरा ...

हर तरफ हैं नक़ाब, नक़ाबों मे जीता चेहरा ...
नक़ाबों की है कीमत, हर कीमत पे बिकता चेहरा ...

समुंदर मे खड़ा होकर, लहरों पे हस्ता चेहरा ...
चेहरे पे हस्ते चेहरे, चेहरों पे हस्ता चेहरा ...

बिकने वाले चेहरे, बेचने वाला चेहरा,
पर खरीदने वाला, एक नक़ाब है ...
पढ़ता जा ऐे शायर ! यूँ ही सरेआम,
हर चेहरा एक किताब है ...

हर महँगे नक़ाब के पीछे, छुपा एक सस्ता चेहरा ...
चेहरे पे हस्ते चेहरे, चेहरों पे हस्ता चेहरा ...

Kaash Mai Deewana Ban Jaaun ... (काश मै दीवाना बन जाऊँ ... )

Note: People, having problem in reading this gazal in "roman English", may refer to the same text written below, in Hindi.

Zindagi Ki Haqeeqat kaa Afsana ban jaaun ...
Kaash maut aane tak, mai deewana ban jaaun ...

Kisi ke liye to koode ke barabar bhi nahi mai,
Shayad kisi ke liye Khazana ban jaaun ...

Chand saalon me naa khatam ho ye shaksiyat meri,
Mai is kadr jiyun ke ek Zamana ban jaaun ...

Likhoon to raaton me, padhun to uski aankhon me,
mai nazm - e - aashiqui kaa ek Thikana ban jaaun ...

Kaash maut aane tak mai Deewana ban jaaun ...

Naa lagaun sharab hothon se bas jeene ki khatir,
agar piyun to is kadr ki Maikhana ban jaaun ...

Jo koi hothon se lagaye to behak jaaye,
Mai chalta firta ek Paimana ban jaaun ... 

Zindagi Ki Haqeeqat kaa Afsana ban jaaun ...
Kaash maut aane tak, mai deewana ban jaaun ...

ज़िंदगी की हक़ीक़त का अफ़साना बन जाऊँ ...
काश मौत आने तक, मै दीवाना बन जाऊँ ...

किसी के लिए तो कूड़े के बराबर भी नही मै,
शायद किसी के लिए ख़ज़ाना बन जाऊँ ...

चंद सालों में ना ख़तम हो ये शक्सियत मेरी,
मै इस कद्र जियूँ के एक ज़माना बन जाऊँ ...

लिखूँ तो रातों में, पढ़ूँ तो उसकी आँखों में,
मै नज़्म - ए - आशिकी का एक ठिकाना बन जाऊँ ...

काश मौत आने तक मै दीवाना बन जाऊँ ...

ना लगाऊँ शराब होठों से बस जीने की खातिर,
अगर पीयूँ तो इस कद्र कि मैखना बन जाऊँ ...

जो कोई होठों से लगाए तो बहक जाए,
मै चलता फिरता एक पैमाना बन जाऊँ ... 

ज़िंदगी की हक़ीक़त का अफ़साना बन जाऊँ ...
काश मौत आने तक, मै दीवाना बन जाऊँ ...
