Condescension

Saudagari ke peshe main ghaate ki baat kiye ho

Lutaya dil, lutaya sab kuch, jan bhi nisaar kiye ho

Majboori ke naam per is qadar ziadati

Os pe hal ye ke khuda khuda kiye ho

Meri aabru ke tukron se dalail bana kar laye tum

Bharam ko zamane main dhuain ki nazar kiye ho

Bethe ho sabr ka daman thaame bare be-murawwat

Muddat guzri faisla howe, ab kis ki aas kiye ho?

Dikh raha hai aankhon main dard tumhari larazte howe

Agarche fasla hazar sahi magar, parwa buht kiye ho

Buht dour-andesh ho tum, ye maana hum ne

Ab ke magar nadani main khudaai ka dawa kiye ho

Ode to Buggie

Like the mild, warm sunshine in cold winter days, like the dawn breaks the dark and everything feels alright, like the peaceful flowing of water in a river, such is as close as I can get to describing where you stand for me, and more. You’re like that parrot from ancient stories of wizards, the one with the wizard’s life in it not only because you have my life in your own lively, precious little self but also because you make me feel as powerful as a magician and as protective of you. You smell like freshness, you feel like poetry. You careless adolescent make me realize how wonderfully a whole person you are, with your innocent idea of being the king of the world, of singing out loud without caring of slipping off keys. Your all original theories move me to the core. Every time you smile with your eyes all bright and shiny, I feel like the stardust is showering down the sky, sparkling the entire world around me.

May God forgive me for comparing my sinful self as this but you make me feel like Mary, being a mother with chastity. You are a relief in times of pain, in times of misery. You are a tranquil escape from my woes. Its music to my sense on hearing when I hear you laugh. You with your clean conscience have polish mine. Today when I held your growing hands in mine, when I embrace you as my child, I couldn’t have put into words how much I Luv you, how wonderful a blessing you are to me and how I cannot thank God enough for a bliss as yourself.

Happy Birthday Buggie <3

An ode to you:

As the ocean bears a pearl

A pearl so white and fine

As the spring feels so fresh

So soothing and divine

Like a dawn after rain

Like a free flying kite

Young as you are yet so gallant

Oh you brave little knight!

You’re like a hope to me

A hope like fairytale

And yet I believe you are

As true as an angel

Adam's posterity

So when you have it, it just lies around in your room. Every now and then you may take notice of it, and sometimes -but not as much as you thought you would, in the beginning- make use of it. You still think it’s beautiful, you know all It’s qualities and it has more of them than you initially thought. Sometimes you get the time to admire it, and sometimes you don’t because there is an everyday routine of your life, and not that it isn't a part of that routine or that It’s not important enough but look at it this way; water is so important that you can’t live without it, but you don’t go around drinking it all the time. Despite all your routine, your lack of taking notice of it and all your carelessness, if you find out that it might be snatched from you or it actually gets taken away, your life has a fair chance of turn up-side down, and most probably it would.

Such is the nature of this son and daughter of Adam, and never in another million years will this vary. But if its bothering you, know this and tie it to your immediately-negative-thinking pea size of a brain that if he is like this, so are you –a little less, a little more- but you are; and likewise for you, gentlemen.

My dear, my dear..

My dear, my dear

I'm right here

under the sky and close to you

now shut you eyes and feel me through

let me brace, let me tend

your form and soul, I shall mend

My Luv, my luv

I have you here

resting at my bosom, safe in my arms

free of any bounds and free of all the fears

I shall give you all my bloom

that all your seasons be halcyoned

My sweet, my sweet

I am forever close to you

to kiss you when you wanna be loved

to nod when you wanna be approved

I shall take you by the hand

past highs-and-lows till the end

My strong, my strong

I need your strength

this rain remind that sky may be dark

you shall walk us through and i'll be the spark

you need not worry, you must not fall

hold my hand and stand tall

My amor, my amor

we are boundary less

I'm here, I'm near

I shall catch each of your tear

I'm with you in everything you sought

I'm here my luv, even when I'm not..

Tear

Na yun tabah kar mujhe

Na ese tou juda kar mujhe

Wahan ho ankh pur-numm

Aur na mile daman-e-tar mujhe

Ye do kadam hain ke mit-te nhi

Ke paar hon, mile ghar mujhe

Kis kadar hai shadeed justuju

tou kyun na dikhe wo dar mujhe

khamoshi main guzara hai jo waqt

Lage jese ek umr mujhe

Ab ke toot raha hai zabt

Ab tou aghosh main bhar mujhe
