Mai Ne Chand Aur Sitaron Ki Tamanna Ki Thi..

A gr8 poem by sahir ludhiyanvi...

Mai ne chand aur Sitaron ki tamanna ki thi
Mujh ko raton ki siyahi ke siwa kuch na mila

Mai wo nagma hon jise pyaar ki mahfil na mili
Wo musafir hon jise koi bhi manzil na mili
Zaqam paye hain baharon ki tamanna kit hi
Mai ne chand aur Sitaron ki tamanna ki thi

Kisi gaisu kisi anchal ka sahara hi nahi
Raste mai koi dhandla sa sitara hi nahi
Meri nazron ne nazaron ki tamanna ki thi
Mai ne chand aur Sitaron ki tamanna ki thi

Dil me nakam ummidon ke basere paye
Roushi lene ko nikla to andhere paye
Rang aur noor ke dharon ki tamanna ki thi
Mai ne chand aur Sitaron ki tamanna ki thi

Jo baat tujh me hai teri tasweer me nahi
Rangon me tera aks dhala na to dhal saki
Dilbar se pyaar ke shararon ki tamanna ki thi
Mai ne chand aur Sitaron ki tamanna ki thi

Duniya me koi cheez nahi hai teri tarah
Phir ek bar aaja samene mere kisi tarah
Apne sanam se mine bahanon ki tamanna ki thi
Mai ne chand aur Sitaron ki tamanna ki thi

Soch aur hakikat k beech…..ye dooriyan

Door se dekha,
Kisi ke sath ja raha tha vo.
Awaaz aa rahi thi jaise,
Gunguna raha tha vo.
Masti me chalta aise,
Itraa raha tha vo.
Nazdeek pahunche to,
Tasweer hi badal gayi.
Na chahte huye bhee,
Aankhe machal gayi.
Akela hi tha vo us din,
Ladkhada raha tha vo.
Vo ro raha tha us din,
Ghabra raha tha vo.
Dooor se na pahchaana,
Vo kaun shakhs tha,
Kohra ghana tha us din,
Vo hamara hi aks tha.

Dil Ki Aawaz...

aaj ye dil keheta hai, tu ab laut chal
guzarti nahin hai, meri koi bhi pal
mujhko yahaan se le chal
aaj ye dil keheta hai, tu ab laut chal

woh manzil yahaan nahin milegi
jise tujhe talash hai
woh manzar yahaan nahin dikhega
jo tere dil ke aas paas hai
milti nahin hai mujhe yahaan koi bhi hal
mujhko yahaan se le chal
aaj ye dil keheta hai, tu ab laut chal

waise log yahaan nahin hai
jinko dhund raha hai tu
yahaan log waise nahin hai
jinse jud raha hai tu
na banegi yahaan mere sapno ka mahal
mujhko yahaan se le chal
aaj ye dil keheta hai, tu ab laut chal

“Any time you sincerely want to make a change, the first thing you must do is to raise your standards. When people ask me what really changed my life eight years ago, I tell them that absolutely the most important thin was changing what I demanded of myself. I wrote down all the things I would no longer accept in my life, all the things I would no longer tolerate, and all the things that I aspired to becoming.” 

Anthony Robbins

“I am Me. In all the world, there is no one else exactly like me. Everything that comes out of me is authentically mine, because I alone chose it -- I own everything about me: my body, my feelings, my mouth, my voice, all my actions, whether they be to others or myself. I own my fantasies, my dreams, my hopes, my fears. I own my triumphs and successes, all my failures and mistakes. Because I own all of me, I can become intimately acquainted with me. By so doing, I can love me and be friendly with all my parts. I know there are aspects about myself that puzzle me, and other aspects that I do not know -- but as long as I am friendly and loving to myself, I can courageously and hopefully look for solutions to the puzzles and ways to find out more about me. However I look and sound, whatever I say and do, and whatever I think and feel at a given moment in time is authentically me. If later some parts of how I looked, sounded, thought, and felt turn out to be unfitting, I can discard that which is unfitting, keep the rest, and invent something new for that which I discarded. I can see, hear, feel, think, say, and do. I have the tools to survive, to be close to others, to be productive, and to make sense and order out of the world of people and things outside of me. I own me, and therefore, I can engineer me. I am me, and I am Okay.”

“I asked God for strength that I might achieve. I was made weak that I might learn humbly to obey. I asked for health that I might do greater things. I was given infirmity that I might do better things. I asked for riches that I might be happy. I was given poverty that I might be wise. I asked for power that I might have the praise of men. I was given weakness that I might feel the need of God. I asked for all things that I might enjoy life. I was given life that I might enjoy all things. I got nothing that I asked for, but everything I hoped for. Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered. I am, among all men, most richly blessed.”

जिन्दगी के मोड्

जिन्दगी के मोड् खुद किस-किस तरफ़ को ले गए
उम्र ढलती गई और हम सोचते ही रह गए,

इक दौर था जब सफ़र में हर शख्स अपने साथ था
उस कारवां के अब यहां बस नामो-निशान ही रह गए,

जब ज़िन्दगी की शाम ढली तो बुझ गइ जलती श़मा
और यूं तड़पते हुए परवाने सब सह गए,

रवां थी कश्ती मगर हर तरफ़ अन्धेरा था
चराग दिल की लौ से जलाकर हम उजाला कर गये

ग़म से मुझे कोई रंज नहीं पर अऱमान खुशियों का था
अब आंसू की तो बात ही क्या हम ज़हर हंस कर पी गए,

तो क्या हुआ ग़र ज़िन्दगी ने दर्द का दामन दिया
हमने उसमें भी खु़शी के हर रंग भर दिए,

ऊंचे-नीचे रास्तों पे कइ बार जब लड़्खड़ाए कदम
इक बार ठहरे, फिर संभल कर हम ज़िन्दगी को जी गए।
