Quiescent

Tammanna ne mere

Honton pe ungali

Rakh kar

Jaise hi kahan

Shhhhh………

Mere sare  Khwab

Thitak kar

reh gaye

Khamoshiyan yun mere

Labo par

Aa kar he

tehri

mere sare alfaz

 bhikar kar

 reh gaye

Socha tha sham se

Pehle ghar 

laut jaenge

Par in rasto me

Bhatak kar

Reh gaye

ye to nahi tha maine

chalna nahi chaha

par ye

 kambakht

pair  chipak kar

reh gaye.

It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer

We have to stop running from our problems. No I am not saying it is going to be easy you have to face them head on. Now obviously there is no person in this world who can flawlessly handle every punch thrown at them. We can’t solve problems instantly. This is not how we are made. Infect we are made to get upset, sad, hurt, stumble and fall. I guess it is the way this things works we have problems we face them we learn adapt and solve them over the course of time. In the process we gain experience we believe in some things. So that if we face similar situation again in life we won’t fall again. But in my case it seems as I am growing older and gaining more experience and wisdom, I am abandoning what I used to believe  .

However

Yun to ye sagar mere kabu main hain

Par ye boond hain jo sambali nahi jati

Yun to maine  jindgi akele kaati hain

Par ye lamha he jo gujara nahi jata

Yun to gamo ka pahad mujse hain gujra

Par ye choti si tees hain jo mitai nahi jati

Yun to dekha hain jamane ke dilo main

Par iss aks ka nishana saha nahi jata

Yun to rahon par abb bhi kabu hain

Par chalne ki himmat jutai nahi jati

Yun to shabdo ka khajana hain mere pass

Par dil ki baat samjhai nahi jati.

Lamho me koi fasana khojta hun

Haathon se fisla  wo jamana khojta hun

Wo khula-khula sa aakash

wo mausam suhana khojta hun

is zindgi ke sagar me

bas ek tinke ka sahara khojta hun

raat dhalne ka naam nahi leti

kahan gaya wo ujala khojta hun

ruk gaya hun chorahe pe

chalu kis taraf koi ishara khojta hun

halatho ke tufan se

 chupne ko ek ashiyana khojta hun

Jindgi ki talash karte karte thak gaya hun

Abb to maut ka bahana khojta hun

Beyond Horizon

 

Kshitij ke kinare

Nange paon chalte hue

Aksar maine

Jindgi ko nihara hain

Yahin maine kawitaon ko socha

Lafzo main piroya

Kuch nishchal ghumte

khwabo ko  disha di

Meri kawitayein

Mere alfazo ki jarurat hain

Inke bina main kya hun,

Kuch bhi to nahi

Jab bhi inko padta hun

Lagta hain samne aks hain

Kshitij ke bina

Mera wajood hi kya hain

Kshitij meri zarurat hain

Badlo se kaho

Dur jaye

Jine de mujhe
