Inferno

Expectations..
always begin
as a little spark
ready to flare
in a wildfire ...

patience ..
a stream of
heavenly waters
to keep this
inferno in check....

Jungles

I was lost
in a vast jungle..

thorns and cactii..
of my own needs
pricking my feet..

bitter fruits of
materialism..
growing on each shrub ..

until i realized
his divine presence..

but i am still lost
in a vast jungle..

it might glitter with
the colorful rainbows
of his thoughts..

it might also be
fragrant with the
blooming flowers
of his mercy...

but i am still lost..
in a jungle of my own
thoughts and words...

bless me O'Almighty
so that i learn to
stop looking for you
in any jungles....

help me find your
divine presence
in the home
of my heart....

Dreams..

Dreams...
those silent conversations
of my soul
that I never remember
when i wake up..
unless...
the mirror of slumber is shattered
by an unexpected rock
from the physical realm...

Today....
in one of those fleeting moments..
I captured
the colorful butterfly of dreams
one more time ..
on the fingertip of my conscious
and smiled.. to realize...
...that the colors of rainbow..
were no longer dull and gray
of love and lust of materailsm...

but....
hidden behind
the curtains of dreams..
my heart was rejoicing
in the teachings of ..
great masters, teachers, prophets..
I was admiring the
deep and vibrant colors
of their love..
for the light divine

And...
I felt a hope..and a longing..
may be one day...
when the veil of dreams is lifted
i will not find myself
only admiring their love
for the creator of the world..
may be I'll find myself
immersed in that
deep ocean of love too....

and may be one day..
I won't need a boat
constructed of dreams
to find myself
immersed in that deep ocean ...

...may be ...

Mom (Wax)

Aye Khuda !
is dil ko tu
yoon mom kar de
ke mein bhi kuchh
jeenay ka hunar
seekh paauN

ke mein kisi
mushqiloN ke
toofaN mein
sookhey pattoN
kii tarah toot ke
bikharne na paauN

zindagi kii
har tapish mein
bas mom kii tarah
pighal kar
haalaat ke saanche mein
dhal jaauN...

I believe that happiness of the person is
related to his inner feelings and attitude.
External forces and situations have less to
do with happiness.. The more adaptable a
person is to external situations more
stable and happier the person is...

Faith

They say ..

Its so easy
to talk the talk
but so difficult
to walk the talk..

Knowledge
and practice
are two cities
miles apart ..

and only way to
cover the distance
is LITTLE FAITH
in the heart

Dua

Ya Khuda !
Dua mein
uthe ye do haath
aur jhuka hua ek dil
teri rehmat ke
muntazir hain
..
ke kabhi
in aankhon mein bhi
woh sailaab de
jo yoon nam kar de
is dil ki
banjar zameen ko
..
ke mein bhi
phir uga sakun
is nam mitti mein
teri ibadat ke
kuchh phool..

Meher karo kii pyaar karien..

wrote it last year - 2006

Rachanhaar ne khel rachaaya
Is qaynaat ka roop sajaaya
har zarre par pyaar lutaaya
pyaar ka sabak hamein sikhaaya

waqt beeta aur insaan bhatka
duniyaa kii maaya mein atkaa
paap baRha is duniya mein phir
dukh kii badlii barsi ghir ghir

zindagi ke syaah falak par
insaniyat ka chaand tha khoya
Paap basa jab dil ke ander
beghar pyaar bohot tha roya

wo baRa rahim-o-karim hai
to ye dua bhi atta karey
jab dil nawaaza khud rab ne
Ye dil pyaar se saja rahey

andhiyaari shab ke aanchal par
pyaar ke chand sitaary jadien
uskii nawazishon ke sadke se
gham ke andheray door karien

pyaar ke deep jalaaney waaley
auron ko mehkaaney waaley
rab ke dil mein baste hain
pyaar ke nagme gaaney waaley

lafzon ke khwabon se jagkar
pyaar ka chaman aabaad karien
karo karo to bohot keh liya
meher karo kii pyaar karien

meher karo kii pyaar karien
