Shall I vanish in Silence?

 SILENT GOODBYE!!

Happiness is a Bliss

I am so happy for you,
For you have found happiness of a lover's touch
I am so happy for you,
For your waiting's ended and you deserve so much.

I am so happy for you,
For in a solemn bonding now two lovers are bound
I am so happy for you,
For love, warmth, joy and smiles you shall have abound.

I am so happy for you,
For my soul smiles, to think of you smile,
I am so happy for you,
For I love you from depth of my heart,
I am so happy for you,
For I am with you, I really Am.

I am so happy for you,
I congratulate and wish you "bestest" of the best,
I  am so happy for you,
'Cos my feelings are unfazed at any turn of events.

Ok. Bye

Rudely awakened at 3am when going to a deep sleep after a sleepless night at a distant land.  Rudely awakened with a message from one dearest to this heart, sending a cocktail of emotions down my soul and torrents of thoughts within seconds across my mind. Trying to listen to my wisest voices, I replied to it with a simple, " Ok. Bye".

Freedom from a distance yelled to me, not to mistake him for Unboundedness and to be wise when I seek him. So I thought to be bound to values I value, and sought to find Wisdom. And Wisdom, like an old sage on a mountian top,  appeared when all the foggy clouds of thoughts poured down as tears of rain, once again to nurture the heart. And Wisdom, with his fatherly concerned adviced me, "Son, keep your dreams alive. Build on your dreams. Don't break what is built."
Call me a coward, timid or enslaved. But  I heeded Wisdom and replied with a simple. "Ok.Bye"

She needn't know how hard it is to row my boat against the emotional currents of this strong stream. She needn't know how a greeting wish got so mistimed. She absolutely needn't know how a heart feels for her. She needn't be reminded of such reminders. Its a nuisance to her I reckon. And imbalances her emotions too I believe, though she feels naught for me. So as she wishes, and all the world wishes, I replied with a simple, 'Ok. Bye'.

Two words and Five letters. One may never know how depth it is from and how much it means. But, Ok. Bye.

Patience

Patience : Time will come.

Outpouring of a Heart

 
Am I a foolish wisher who is being a coward,
Am I a dutiful caregiver who protect and guard,
Am I a dreamer, but act naught to fulfil my dream,
Am I being too selfless to go with the flow of the Stream.
Am I a faithful doubter of plain and explains?
Oh! This world's Judgement!

A single Sun lights up many lands to bring smiles on faces,
A single Sun nurtures many plants on different places,
And one single Tree shades for many, and many seek it,
Yet, a single heart can't nurture another Love! Its being wicked!!
And why would it even hurt one or another?
Oh Yes! This world's Justice?

Echo of a silence

 A midnight star shined on me and as I looked into her beauty and shine, i found myself whispering to my soul,
" O Man, breakdown the shackles of work and reach out,
  O the Pained! Break the confines of your living and reach out,
 
A silent cries of a silent soul.
Not a day passes, without your thoughts in my mind...

In My Life

Souls' Dance

Many full moons ago, she peeped through a "window" that she shouldn't, and saw us dancing to the very beat of our souls. 

Ah!  That intangible dance, without a single touch or a caress or a kiss, with bodies so far apart. But the rhyme and rhythm so enchanting. Caught in the magic of moment, and in dawning desires we danced. 

And she peeped and she weeped. And cried, "You are so happy and so yourself, never have you opened to me like that. Never have you been so happy dancing that dance"

And after many full-moons sunshines and eclipses have passed, she asks, " Can you please dance with me, the way you danced with her?" And I gave a silent nod, an unspoken word from an unsure soul, trying his best.

Then she asks, "What single thing do you miss the most?" And again i remain silent, for sometimes silence makes peace better than any spoken word. But within that silence is a desire and a want..and a longing love.

And she looks into my eyes and nods, in silence and hugs me. Maybe a silent understanding is reached and a silence pact is made.

And in silence there is this bleeding story. 

Look deep  into the silence to understand me.

Feel My depth

Can you judge an ocean from its surface? Will you understand the silent caress of the gentle sea waves on your sandy shores, while you walk on there bare-footed? Will you feel the melody of the rhythmic music as the sea kisses these shores? Will you understand, this ocean if its waves' loving caress washes away the past  foot-prints you made on your sandy shores? Friend, you may not know, but this sea is destined to caress on your shores.

Yet, within the depth of this ocean lies its treasures and its curse.  
Dive, my friend, to find the depth of this sea and the secrets it beholds. Beyond the sunlight, see into the depth, then you may understand the calmness on the surface. And you may see the raging storms underneath too.

Friend, for you is this ocean, its tides, calmness and storms. For this ocean of Passion exists to caress on your sandy shores.

Behind the Stillness.

Behind the blood-stained curtains of Love

there are fields of flowers 

where the lovers wander.

While the mind sees only boundaries

Love knows the secret way there.

While the mind smells profit and quickly sets up shop

Love sees untold of treasures far beyond.

Lovers trust in the wealth of their hearts

while the all-knowing mind sees only thorns ahead.

To wander in the fields of flowers

pull the thorns from your heart.

~ Rumi

Lets Awaken

I've spent hours with the Devil,
Contemplating what you need,
And have come to offer comfort,
In request to your thought lost plea.

I fear not your haunting darkness,
Which is but the shadow of your light,
Cast against the backdrop of life,
As your soul's flame flickers,

Stretching to see it's own reflection,
In the mirror of my eyes,
As we share in this dance
Called remembrance.

We will awaken together,
From this nightmare called a dream,
When we realize reality;
It's not as it must seem.

Heaven - in Your thoughts

Stepping off another cloud,

Trying to cut through the shroud,

While heeding to an angel's call,

Trusting naught will let me fall,

I float ever gently down,

Responding to the grounding pull,

As with resounding, pounding wings,

My heart flies ever upward, full,

 WITH HOPE OF REACHING YOU.

Figments

Below are two food-for-thought stories by Kahlil Gibran.

GARMENTS

Upon a day Beauty and Ugliness met on the shore of a sea. And they said to one another, “Let us bathe in the sea.”

Then they disrobed and swam in the waters. And after a while Ugliness came back to shore and garmented himself with the garments of Beauty and walked away.

And Beauty too came out of the sea, and found not her raiment, and she was too shy to be naked, therefore she dressed herself with the raiment of Ugliness. And Beauty walked her way.

And to this very day men and women mistake the one for the other.

Yet some there are who have beheld the face of Beauty, and they know her notwithstanding her garments. And some there be who know the face of Ugliness, and the cloth conceals him not from their eyes.


THE FIELD OF ZAAD
  

Upon the road of Zaad a traveller met a man who lived in a nearby village, and the traveller, pointing with his hand to a vast field, asked the man saying, “Was not this the battle-ground where King Ahlam overcame his enemies?”
And the man answered and said, “This has never been a battle-ground. There once stood on this field the great city of Zaad, and it was burnt down to ashes. But now it is a good field, is it not?” And the traveller and the man parted.
Not a half mile farther the traveller met another man, and pointing to the field again, he said, “So that is where the great city of Zaad once stood?’
And the man said, “There has never been a city in this place. But once there was a monastery here, and it was destroyed by the people of the South Country.”
Shortly after, on that very road of Zaad, the traveller met a third man, and pointing once more to the vast field he said, “Is it not true that this is the place where once there stood a great monastery?”
But the man answered, “There has never been a monastery in this neighbourhood, but our fathers and our forefathers have told us that once there fell a great meteor on this field.”
Then the traveller walked on, wondering in his heart. And he met a very old man, and saluting his he said, “Sir, upon this road I have met three men who live in the neighbourhood and I have asked each of them about this field, and each one denied what the other had said, and each one told me a new tale that the other had not told.”
Then the old man raised his head, and answered, “My friend, each and every one of these men told you what was indeed so; but few of us are able to add fact to different fact and make a truth thereof.”

Beauty of a Woman

The beauty of a woman is not in
The clothes she wears
The figure she carries
Or the way she combs her hair.

The beauty of a woman
Must be seen within her eyes,
'Cause that is the doorway to her heart,
The place where love resides.
 

The beauty of a woman
Is not in a dimple or a facial mole,
But true beauty in a woman
Is reflected in her soul.

It is the caring that she lovingly gives,
The passion that she shows,
The beauty of a woman
With passing years - only grows.

You are Beautiful

You are beautiful.
A glimpse of you, and it seems the blood in my veins are rejuvenated. My heart rate gets increased with a new found vigour. And a warmth engulfs me, as lovely thoughts fills my mind. And a stupid smile gets fixated on my lips while my tongue gets twisted and knotted. within that moment, in that glimpse, I could think of no words, nor I could remember myself. Just a fraction of a second, just a glimpse of you, and i felt so alive and so happy.

You are beautiful.
You don't need cosmetic dusts smeared on your face and layers of foundation to complement your beauty. It never does justice to a beauty. You are beautiful as you are, plain and simple.

You are beautiful.
And it shall never whither with the passing of days and years. Because your beauty is from within. The goodness of a virtous soul is your beauty within. And it is radiated through your face, that beauty is reflected in your smile and saved as a mystery behind the depth of your beautiful eyes. Your beauty shall remain unwavered always, cause it is engraved in your soul as goodness, and the soul is not affected by passing of time.

You are beautiful.
For me you always will be. It is not just mere physical looks i see when I see you, but inner goodness too. And thats the true beauty.
Thus, within my heart, you shall always reign as a Beauty.

Thinking of You, always.

Aren't you my Soulmate? I am thinking of you, in sunrise, sunset and in between...

Yaara Tere Sadke Ishq Sikha Main Toh
Aayi Jag Taj Ke Ishq Sikha
Jab Yaar Kare Parwah Meri
Mujhe Kya Parwah Iss Duniya Ki
Jag Mujhpe Lagaaye Paabandi
Main Hoon Hi Nahi Iss Duniya Ki

O friend, I'm all yours, teach me to love,
I've left the world and come, teach me love..
When my companion cares for me,
Why should I care for the world..
The world puts bans on me,
I don't belong to this world..

Tumhi Din Chadhe, Tumhi Din Dhale
Tumhi Ho Bandhu, Sakha Tumhi
Every time every minute all the day
Tumhi Ho Bandhu, Sakha Tumhi

You in the morning, you in the evening,
you're the kin, you only are the friend..
Every time every minute of the day
you're the kin, you only are the friend..

Dil Ki Takhti Par Hoon Likhti
Ishqaa.. Ishqaa
Jag Kya Jaane Dil Ko Mere
Ishqaa.. kiskaa
Lag Yaar Gale Le Saar Meri
Mujhe Kya Parwah Iss Duniya Ki
Tu Jeet Meri, Jag Haar Meri
Main Hoon Hi Nahi Iss Duniya Ki

On the heart's slate I write,
Love.. Love.
What does the world know my heart feels
Love.. for whom..
Beloved, hug me and ask my well being
What do I care about the world
You're my victory, the world is my loss,
I don't belong to this world..

Bann ke chaahat nazron se khat
likhna.. likhna
Tu hai jaisa mujhko waisa
Dikhna.. dikhna
De sabak sarooron ka saaki
Mujhe kya parwaah iss duniya ki
Tu paas mere jag paas mere
Main hoon hi nahi iss duniya ki

I have to become love and write letters
with eyes.. have to write..
The way you look, I have to look like that,
have to look like that..
The cup-bearer of passions gives me lesson,
what do I care about the world..
You're with me, (my) world is with me,
I don't belong to this world..

Yaariyaan - My Friend.

This song is a reflected voice from a part within me, who never stops his yearning....

Alvida yaara alvida,
Ho rahe tumse hum judaa,
Le chale saare gum tere,
Khush rahe yaara tu sadaa..

Good bye my friend,
I am getting away from you,
I will take all your sorrows with me,
May you live happily, my friend..
 
Tumse bhi zyada hongi,
Ab yaadein pyaariyaan
Hum dono ki hain
apni apni laachaariyaan,
Ab hanste hanste tumpe
le khushiyaan vaariyaan

Even more than you
now your memories will be lovable to me,
We both have
our own problems,
Now happily, to you,
I sacrifice all my happiness.


Marz bhi hain deti
Chain bhi hain deti
Dard bhi hain deti
Jaan bhi hain leti

They give problems,
They give peace too,
They give pain too,
They take lives too


Yaariyaan
Na chhode yaariyaan
Woh oh oh

Friendships,
Friendships never end..


Ab jeene ko jaane ko, na koi raasta
Tanhaaiyon se hoga, ab dil ka vaasta
Hum khud hi khud ko, ab to kar denge lapataa

There is no way to live, no way to go,
the heart will pass through loneliness now,
I will make myself go lost now..

Maan le tu aise
Hain zara bholey se
Jaante hain waise
Hai nibhaani kaise

Believe me
I am a bit innocent
But I know
how to manage

Yaariyan
woh oh ho
Na chhode yaariyaan..
Oh oh ho..

Friendships
Friendships never end..
  Yaari yaari har koi karda ve
Yaari yaari har koi har koi
Karda ve karda ve karda
Yaari de bus jo peh jaave
Woh paglaa woh jhalla ve

Everybody indulges in friendship,
Everybody indulges in friendship,
The one going for friendship
goes mad and stupid..

Ab jeene ko jaane ko na koi raasta
Tanhaaiyon se hoga ab dil ka vaasta
Hum khudhi khud ko ab to kardenge laapata

Maan le tu aise
Hai zara bhole se
Jaante hain waise
Hai nibhaani kaise
Yaariyaan
Oh oh ho
Na chhode yaariyaan
Oh oh ho..

All The Beautiful Things

Everyday I wake up and wonder why
I'm alone when I know I am a lovely guy

Birds come down from skies so blue
See all the beautiful things you do
Why can't I just get with you?

Every night I carry out my plan
Pray to God that one day I can be your man

Birds come down from skies so blue
See all the beautiful things you do
Why can't I just get with

You'd be my only friend in the world
Or you could just be my girl

And if I do run away from this life
It won't be much for me in the afterlife
Although I know that you don't even care
I would rather stay in a world where

Birds come down from skies so blue
See all the beautiful things you do
Why can't I just get with you?

Heavenly Bodies

Moon is naught but a cold stone, hidden in nothingness of dark space, without the Sun's rays. 
So is my Heart without your Passion and Love.

And Sun is what, if it doesn't radiate the  light and rays, though its a burning gas?  
And I am what if I can't radiate a smile, thought with a burning inner core?

It is predestined that the Sun shall never meet the Moon. And if they meet, it will be havoc on earth. 
So it seems meeting You and Me.

Yet it is also destined Sun shall always shine and Moon shall always receive that sunshine, and reflect that sunlight as moonlight to light up the darkened skies.
So shall Your Love always flow, to light up the dark skies of dark nights where I am ordained to be.

Two Heavenly Bodies.
We both are.

Memories of You - A Happiness to Smile

Dedicated to my Love; for its sweetness and pain

Teri Qasam humko teri yaadein jo aati hain, hamein har pal satati hain.  
Ab to nahi lagta hamara dil tumhare bin , ab har dhadkan rulati hai.

Tumhara saath agar milta,  
hamara dil na yun jalta,  
ke jal ke humne raaton me,  
tadap kar bekarari me,  
guzaare hain wo kitne pal;  woh yaadon me.  

Teri Qasam humko teri yaadein jo aati hain, hamein har pal satati hain.......

Raho tum khush jidhar bhi ho,  
hamara haal mat poocho,  
hamari yeh duaa-een hain,  
tumhari jo bhi raahein hain, 
tumhe le jaaen gulshan me; bahaaron me.  

Teri Qasam humko teri yaadein jo aati hain , hamein har pal satati hain........

Qayamat dil pe yun guzri , 
bhulayen hum bhala kaise, 
dhuaan ut-tha hai dil se yun,  
lagi thi aag yeh kaise,  

wahi sapne, wahi yaadein ,
wahi beeti huyi baatein, 
 jab aati hain hamein har pal; chalati hain.  

Teri Qasam humko teri yaadein jo aati hain,hamein har pal satati hain.
 ab to nahi lagta hamar dil tumahre bin, ab har dhadkan rulati hai........
