ज़िन्दगी ही तो है

 
रेत का खूबसूरत किला है
एक लहर आये तो बिखर जाये
फिरसे किला बनाने की हिम्मत है
ज़िन्दगी मासूम कोशिश है

भरोसा टूँटने की देर है
सपने बिखरने की देर है
फिर से नयी शुरुवात की आदत है
ज़िन्दगी नयी उम्मीद है

घना जंगल भी तो है 
सारी दिशा मे पशु और अंधेरा है
मन का रचाया चक्रव्यूह है 
ज़िन्दगी एक वनवास है

शत्रुत्त्व की तपन है
प्रेम का जहर है
अपनों ने ही लगाई हुई आग है 
ज़िन्दगी अग्निदिव्य है

समय ने दिखाई हुई
भयानक सच्चाई है
आये दिन नयी लड़ाई है
खुदसे भी लड़ने की तैयारी है 
ज़िन्दगी संग्राम है

मुक्ति का प्रयास है
कर्मो का दामन है 
हर एक कदम एक एक सांस
मृत्यु के करीब लाया है 
ज़िन्दगी एक सफर है

कौनसी मंजिल है, कारण क्या है 
कौनसा उद्देश्य है, और क्या रास्ता 
सबसे अनजान होकर भी 
जीत कर लौट आने का जूनून है
ज़िन्दगी योद्धा की हिम्मत है

ज़िन्दगी ही तो है..

कठपुतली का खेल है
सारथी ने संभाली हुई डोर है
हार भी है जीत भी
न जाने किससे लगायी बाजी है
ज़िन्दगी अजीब परेशानी भी है 

दोस्ती जैसी प्यारी है
माँ की गोद मे आनेवाली नींद है
बच्चे की खिली हुई हसीं है
कुछ खास कुछ आम है
ज़िन्दगी ही तो है..

ज़िन्दगी अपनी लगती है
पर धोखा है,परस्वाधीन है
मृत्यु परायी लगती है
पर वो निश्चित साथ निभाती है

नवरस से भरा रोमांच है
भावनाओं का खेल है 
संगीत का अनसुना राग है
कवि का सुंदर सपना है
अंतिम सांस तक चलने वाली
आत्मशोध की कहानी है

ज़िन्दगी ही तो है 

मुक्ता 


Closer Than The Breath

 
When you say you are closer
To me than my own breath
So far, it was just a poetic expression
Until today when I  realise its depth

Before I breath in my tears
Before I laugh out with tears
it's you who check me out
Ensuring my survival
with either kind of the tears

Closer than the breath truly
Gloomy day, happy or moody
Unknowingly I did judge you poorly
We are closer absolutely
closer than the breath

After I breathe my last
I will have you as my companion
Surely this is also not
 just a poetic expression 

Such an Assurance this is
that you are closer to me
than my own breath
I am not lonely 
whether alive or dead

The inner voice of mine
My guiding light
you are closer to me
than my own breath

Most ignored & taken for granted
Loved & trustworthy Friend
In true sense a soulmate
you are closer to me
than my own breath

My Friend

You hold my hand
Take me along
I dont really care
If the journey is long

The Rhythm of my life
You are my life's song
Let there be as many storms
With you beside me
I will stay strong

You are a friend of mine
A rare true companion
Even after losing sometime
I feel like a champion

You will be there for me
Even if I go wrong
You are my true shelter
You are where I belong

Friend, I let you down sometime
You continue to stand strong
Someday I want to make you proud
Just so that I hear you applaud

I see the value now
My priceless possession
Better late than never
But I do realise your significance

My Friend , you just stay around
I will feel safe and sound
No matter how wrong it gets
With you alongside,
my life will surely rebound

My Friend, I lack words
To say what I feel for you
Words are so small
For a princess just crowned

I should not play with words
Its meaningless chatter 
Your friendship makes me feel astound
And thats what really matters

You just hold my hand
And take me along
I just dont care
if the journey is long...

Complete


This Moment is complete
with me and you together
This Moment is pleasant
With you and me together

This Moment is complete
With our hands together
This Moment is complete
With our love and laughter
 
This Moment is peace
With our silent conversation
This Moment is complete
With our forever integration
 
You give so much to me
And I get angry at you
Then I complain & Feel guilt
You again catch me
And make the cycle complete
 
You deserve that constant
Flow of love from my little heart
I want the warmth and protection
In your loving strong arms

There is no bigger happiness
There is no bigger treasure 
This Eternal love gives me wings
And I fly like a feather

At last There is contentment
At last there is light
Conflicts surrounding all over
Yet, with Calm, I continue to fight

Roots have deepened
Flowers have blossomed
My journey has begun
A grounded worrier continues to battle

Gratitude creates distance
But we continue to BE ONE
There is no 'Give & Take' in true love
But I do Thank you for this love

I took a deep dive in your eyes
And life has become phenomenal
Thank you for this eternal love
Thank you for taking me to my core......
