वो सुबह कभी तो आएगी...(#newbeginning, #newdawn, #newday, #hope)

There is always a fresh start, nobody and nothing can ever stop you from letting go and starting over. When things go negative, when we see sad faces around, when people have dark thoughts, when every soul is hurt, all we look for is "HOPE". 

Their is nothing wrong in Failing, each time we fail, we should get up and start over, there is always a new beginning, for everything.

"Life is hard, the only way around is through...!!!"

There are two mistakes one can make along the road to truth… not going all the way, and not starting.” – Buddha

Keep Hope, Keep Trust!!!

"एक आस लगी थी

बड़े दुःख की घड़ी थी

साँसें चल रही थी कुछ ऐसे

ग़म के बादल छाये हो जैसे

कुछ अपने छूट रहे थे सफर में

कश्तियाँ डूब रही थीं भंवर में

सब अपने खोल में सिमट रहे थे

साँसों के मोल लग रहे थे

मौत अपने संग ले जाएगी या

ज़िन्दगी बच जाएगी??

खोल किवाड़ पलकों के

फिर एक नयी अलख जगा

होंठों पर मुस्कान लिए

गिरे हुए को तू उठा

ग़म के बादल तो

धुआँ बन उड़ जायेंगे

चंचल पंछी ,अधीर खग

नीड़ छोड़ निकल जायेंगे 

अडिग रहना तुम;

अडिग, रहना तुम

अंधेरों से डरना नहीं

राह आगे की मिल ही जाएगी

वो सुबह कभी तो आएगी

वो सुबह कभी तो आएगी..."

"उस ने पूछा और उसने कहा था ..." ( She...who asked and He...who answered)

Year 1951, a Hindi writer, who wrote a total of 3 stories and became famous with his third story to an extent that not only it is said to be the best love story but it is included in top 10 Hindi stories ever. The great author, Shri Chandradhar Sharma "Guleri" wrote his most famous work, "Usne kaha tha" (उसने कहा था) immediately after first world war.

An era, in which no lover in India (at least) celebrated Valentine Day, exchange of rose, celebration of love on a particular day of the week/month, no promises were made, no commitments were done but even then it was and is the best love story I ever read.

Why am I talking about it today, because my new blog title is inspired by this story. Today I am going to write about two lovers, She...who asked and He...who answered.

वो पूछ रही थी...

 

"मैं बैठी थी आज भी, छज्जे पर अपने

और देख रही थी तुमको जाते हुए,

तुम्हारी तपिश पिघल रही थी सोने सी,

सुरमई चमक तुम्हारी,

उतर रही थी मेरी आँखों में,

मुझे अब बेसब्री से इंतज़ार है,

अपने चाँद का...

जानती हूँ, तुम जाओगे;

तभी तो झांकेगा, खिड़की से मेरी चाँद,

तुम से मिलना रोज़,

कितना आवश्यक हो गया है,

तुम्हारी दिनचर्या.से ही होता है,

जीवन गतिशील मेरा,

बोलो ना!! क्या तुम रोज़ यूँ ही आओगे...??"

 

उसने कहा:

 

हाँ, मैं चाँद हूँ
रोजाना आऊंगा
हरी दूब सी घास पर

चांदनी बन छिटक जाऊँगा 
चांदनी बरसाऊँगा
तुम्हें उल्झाऊंगा
सपने दिखाऊंगा
मुस्कुराऊंगा.....
तारों की आतिशबाजी पूरे आसमान में होगी
उनकी झिलमिलाहट से तुम्हारा दामन भर जाऊँगा
और सुबह
ये चाँद रात, सूरज की सुनहरी किरणों मैं बदल जाएगी
तुम्हारे संग रहेगी एक गर्माहट ले कर
हर आहट दस्तक देगी मेरे आने की
और मैं 

हर दिन, हर रात

तुम्हारे लिए, 

फ़िर आऊँगा..." 

 

Translation:

 

She asked:

 

As always

I was again sitting on my terrace today

Watching you leave

The light of the melting sun

Descending in my eyes,

I am now eagerly waiting

For my Moon

I know, you will leave

Only then, my moon will

Peep through my window

How important it has become

Meeting you every day

Your routine adds

some more breath to me

Will you come to meet me, everyday...?

 

He said:

 

"Oh yes, I am your moon

I will visit you every night

On fresh green grass

I will spread like moonlight

My light will sparkle everything

I will play with you

Show you dreams

Will make you smile,

The night

Full of shining stars

Will sparkle like fireworks

All over the sky

Their flicker, will fill your life

In morning

This moon night

Will change into

The golden sparkling rays of the sun

Will stay with you as warmth

Every sound

will let you know

That I am around

And Me

I will visit you

Every day and every night

Only for you..."

 

 

 

तेरी निकम्मी बातें ....(#nonsensicaltalks, #crazytalks #crazylove)

Long back, once a Psychiatrist friend told me, I was crazy; and all I could think was, I wanted a second opinion. Life is full of crazy ideas, crazy feelings, crazy friends, crazy moments, crazy talks. Sometimes these crazy talks are all one is left with.

I can't make out who I hate more, you for walking away or myself for still loving you. Love is so crazy and annoying and so frustrating but it is one of the thing to keep people going, to live, to have hope in life, to trust, to have #crazyfriends.

Sometimes i think, you are a loser and sometimes a lover, sometimes you are wonderful and sometimes you are not. Sometimes I date you and sometimes I hate you #crazylove 

So you decided to walk away because you thought we were over, but we were not, we won't ever. If you think not talking to me will shield off your feelings for me, you are wrong, I tried that and there wasn't a day that went by where I was not wishing it were our nonsensical talks, we being together #crazytalks.

"जब से मुझको ज्ञात हुआ

तुझ नकचढ़े से प्यार हुआ

उन निरि निकम्मी बातों में

अलग नशे का खुमार हुआ

नींद चैन सब चला गया

तेरी भोली सी बातों में

हर वक़्त खोयी रहती हूँ

जहाँ नहीं तू

वहां भी तुझको देखा करती हूँ

सुन लो तुम सब ऐ दुनिया वालों

मेरे अंदर कुछ जाग उठा है

वो जैसा है, जो भी है

पास है या फिर नहीं भी है

उसको सोचने भर से

एक ख़ुशी सी होने लगती है

सरगम के सात सुरों सी

हवा महकने लगती है

जानती हूँ

न होगा अब कभी दीदार तेरा

है इंतज़ार करना बेकार तेरा

जाने क्यों तुझ से दिल लगाए बैठी हूँ

दिल की वीरान दुनिया में

एक दीप जलाये बैठी हूँ

काली वीरान रातों में

तेरी निकम्मी बातों को

आज भी सीने से लगाए बैठी हूँ..."

 

Translation:

"Since the time, I realized

I am in love with finicky you

But those nonsensical talks

were no less than addiction

I am at loss of sleep and peace of mind

Always lost in your naive thoughts

I see you where you are not

I feel you everywhere

Its for you'll to know

I am awake

I am in love

Whoever he is

However he is

Near or far

When I think of him

I feel happiness all around

Wind is all so aromatic, when it blows

Just like a musical note 

I know,

You won't show up ever again

It's not worthy to wait

I don't know

Why I am still in love with you 

My heart is deserted

Still your love is lit 

Deep inside my broken heart

In such dark, lonely nights

Only thing close to my heart are

 your nonsensical talks..."

 

 

 

 

 

 

अकेलेपन का सहारा था...(Recourse...!!)

 Whenever my mind wanders, i find you. Every #lifestory has a sad part and mine is that I may end up loving you more without you being in my life. Not that I am not hurt; I am, but #loveneverchange and few may find it strange but love is in no way relative to the amount of time you have known someone, instead it's just love, which someone may have felt in a second and would have lived with that for a #lifetime.

Never imagined a life without you, but here I am, without you and in more love than ever.

"Sometimes we don't even know that we feel in a certain way because we have changed or because you have stopped loving..."

There is a whole world out there, full of people who will hurt you, give you pain, scar you forever, may be throw you out of your life but the real strength  of love is in finding someone that is worth the pain.

"There are days when you have to let go and let be, may be you'd find yourself in a better place. Stop running away from your failures.."

Open your heart to those who always loved you...!!!

"तुम,

पहले प्रेम बन दिल में उतर गए

फिर ना जाने क्यों , तुम बदल गए

लगा था कभी, साथ रहोगे तुम

हम अकेले थे और अकेले रह गए

आसमान मिल रहा था

धरती के किनारे से

क्या अद्भुत, विहंगम नज़ारा था

कहीं दूर उस किनारे तुम थे

और इस किनारे मैं

क्या पता उस क्षण

प्यार हमारा था

या दर्द हमारा था

सूनी पड़ी थीं यादें

बस अकेलेपन का सहारा था...."

 

Translation:

 

 

"You, got into my heart as love

And, then you changed for no reasons

There was a time, when

I thought you will stay with me

But then, I was alone and left alone,

It was such a wonderful sight

The Sky and earth were meeting

It was you

standing somewhere far away

on that side, and Me here

Who knows,

if pain was our in that moment or love

All I had were the memories

It was just the recourse

to my loneliness..."
