Kya Baat Hai!!!!

kitabon ke panno ko palat kar sochta hu,
yu palat jaye zindagi to kya baat hai,

khwabon main roj milta hai jo,
haqiqat main aaye to kya baat hai,

kuch matlab k liye dhundte hai mujhe,
bina matlab aaye to kya baat hai,

katal kar ke to sab le jayenge dil mera,
koi baaton se le jaye to kya baat hai,

jo sharifon ki sharafat main baat na ho,
wo ek sharabi kah jaye to kya baat hai,

aapne rahne tak to khushi dunga sabko,
jo kisi ko meri mout pe khushi mil jaye to kya baat hai.

Ai dost jinn se hum ko tawaqo gulon kee thee,
Woh raaston mein khaar bakhere chale gaye,

Bass chandd hee dino ke thay dere chale gaye,
Khana –badosh log savere chale gaye,

Haath mein apne jaal sunehri liye hue,
Gehre samundron ke machhere chale gaye,

Kuchh maikade kee sammat gaye jhoomte hue,
Kuchh manchale faqeer ke dere chale gaye,

Pehle se abb kahan woh mohabbat ke roz-o-shab,
Shaamein chali gayi who savere chale gaye,

Ai dost jinn se hum ko tawaqo gulon kee thee,
Woh raaston mein khaar bakhere chale gaye,

Jo loot-te thay din ka saqoon raat ka qraar,
Kis desh ko woh haseen lutere chale gaye.

 

us ne kaha k mujh se tumhain kitna pyar hai
main ne kaha sitaroon ka koi shumar hai

us ne kaha kon tumhain hai buhat aziz
main ne kaha dil pe jisay ikhtyar hai

us ne kaha kon sa tuhfa hai man pasand
main ne kaha woh shaam jo ab tak udhaar hai

us ne kaha khiza main mulaqat ka jawaz
main ne kaha kurb ka matlab bahar hai

us ne kaha k senkroon gham zindagi main hain
main ne kaha gham nahi jab ghamgusaar hai

us ne kaha mujh ko yakeen aaye kis tarah
main ne kaha k naam mera Aitebar hai…!

Koi miltaa hi nahin humse hamara ban kar,
Tum mile bhi to bohut duur kinara ban kar,

Har aik ummid nigahon se chhalak jaati hai,
Unka har lafz aankhon se sharara ban kar,

Aur sab toot gayin cheezen khilono ki tarha,
Ek yaaqin saath mein rehta hai sahara ban kar,

Tum rahoge is chhoti si zameen tak mehdud,
Hum to chamkeinge aik roaz sitaraa bann kar

Kanto main Phulo Ko....

Kanto main phulon ko khilte hue dekha hai, 

Tufano main kashtiyonko sambhalte hue dekha hai, 

Andhero ko ujalon main dhalte hue dekha hai, 

Hamane waqt ke saath logo ko badalte hue dekha hai,

Kanto main phulo ko……..

Jab jab bhi aaye kisi ki yaad,

jiske bina dil rahetatha hardam udas,
jab wo aakar mila bahot dino ke baad,

Tab aasuonko bhi kushiyonmain badalte hue dekha hai,
Kanto main phulo ko…….

Apne haq ke liye bar bar insano ko ladate hue dekha hai,
Hamane kai acche logonko buri sangat main padate hue dekha hai,

Budhe lachar Maa Baap se jawan bete aur bahu ko,
zagadate hue dekha hai,

Banate bante kam ko kai bar bigadate hue dekha hai,
Kanto main phulo ko…….

Hamane kai baar apne matalab ke liye,
khun ke rishton ko bhi tutate hue dekha hai,

Apni jeb bharne ke liye dusro ko lootate hue dekha hai,
Aur pakade jane par choro-jebkataronko marte dum tak,

pitate hue dekha hai,
Apne hi desh ke logonko dharm aur jati ke naam pe,

batate hue dekha hai,
Kanto main phulo ko……..

BHARAT DESH hai hamara,
Jag main hai sab se pyara,

jab jab bhi kabhi ispar aanch aayee kisiki,
Tab tab desh ke shur-veer jawano ko,

Matrubhumi ki raksha main Amar hote hue dekha hai.

Ishq Aur Fareeb

Ishq ka baaki imtihaan aaj bhi hai

Ishq ka baaki imtihaan aaj bhi hai
dil par tera nishaan aaj bhi hai

tum toh bhool gaye jaake nai duniya me
tere liye koi preshaan aaj bhi hai

log bhoole hai jala tha kisi ka ghar yaha par
magar khandhar ka nishaan aaj bhi hai

jamane ka kya bigda jo lut gaya kisi ka jahan
jamana toh mutmaaeen aaj bhi hai

nibhaya hai tumne khoob wafa ka vaada
meri peeth pe khanzar ka nishaan aaj bhi hai

banaya tha jo tumne hamari kabr-e-ishq pe
wo mehel aalishaan aaj bhi hai

tumne jaani me apne, na kasar kuch rakkha
fir kyu atki hui meri jaan aaj bhi hai

tum toh kehte the k tum bhool gaye ho ranzish
fir kyu meri maut ka saamaan aaj bhi hai

 

  

Kuch log sitam kerne ko

Kuch log sitam kerne ko
taiyaar bethe hain
kuch log mager hum pe
dil haar bethe hain

Iss kashmakash mein hum se
pehchane nahi jate,
kahaan dushman hain aur,
kahan dost yaar bethe hain

Ishq ko aag ka dariya hi
samajh lijiye hazoor,
koi uss paar betha hai tu,
hum iss paar bethe hain.

Kon kehta hai ke is shehar main,
saare hain bewafa,
hamare samne du chaar
wafadaar bethe hain.

Kal tak jin ki hasrat thi
hamien badnaam kerne ki
ajj wohi log apne kiye pe,
sharamsaar bethe hain.

Duniyaa se rooth jane ki
khwahish hai hamari,
kiya karoon is khwahish pe
pehredaar bethe hain..!!

Maa........

Umer Bhar Seene Se Laga Kar Pala Hai Maa Ne
Ghalat Batoon Pe Thora Thora Mara Hai Maa Ne

Abhi Tak Wo Bachpane Ki Yadein Hain Baqi
Aur Wo Bachpane Ki Batein Hain Baqi

Ke Jab Mein Ne Bola Tha Maa Pehli Baar
Maa Ki Aankhon Mein Bhara Tha Kitna Pyar

Paida Huwa Tha To Kuch Nahi Tha Mein
Maa Ki Wajha Se Aaj Hoon Kya Kya Mein

Lalach To Kuch Nahi Meri Maa Ko Magar
Acha Ho Jo Dedoon Dil Tohfay Mein Agar

Maa Ko Choorte Hain Aise Kuch Log Hotay Hain
Phir Auroon Ke Liyay Wo Hamesha Soog Hotay Hain

Kuch Logoon Ke Liye Maa Ko Choorte Nahi
Chahay Kuch Ho Jaye Moo Moortey Nahi

Maa Se Hamesha Hamein Sukh Milte Hain
Phir Bhi Us Ko Hamse Dukh Milte Hain

Kash Qurbaan Karoon Mein Sab Us Ki Sada Pe
Aur Wo Mujhe Pyar Karey Meri Issi Ada Pe

Maa Se Mujhe Meri Koi Juda Na Karey
Karoo Pyar Kissi Aur Se Khuda Na Karay 

 

Bas Mujhe Mera Pyar Cahiye

Jo bani ho Mere lye
Jis ke lye mai Jee raha hoon
 

Jo kahe Hum saath hain Tere
Jise dekhne k liye Tarap raha hoon
 

Ek aisa hi Dildaar chahiye
Bus Mujhe Mera Pyar Chahiye

Aane se jis ke Phool bhi Sharma jaye
Chalne se jis ke Hawa bhi Tham jaye
 

Ho har Waqt rahe saath mai Mere
Chahe saari Duniya Mujh se Rooth jaye
 

Aisa hi kisi ka Aitbaar chahiye
Bus Mujhe Mera Pyar Chahiye

Jis ki ek Hansi k liye
Mar jane ko Dil kare
 

Jo kehde ek baar to
Phir Jeene ko Dil kare
 

Aisa hi Ek Humsafar chahiye
Bus Mujhe Mera Pyar Chahiye

Ek baar mili thi Mujhe woh
Par pata nahi kaha kho gayi
 

Ab agar mil jaye toh
use kahi jane na doon
 

Wohi khoya Yaar chahiye
Bus Mujhe Mera Pyar Chahiye

 

Mohabbat Chup Nhi Rehti...

Wo Boli, Dil Ko Koi Beyaqeeni Hai Muhabbat Me
Mai Bola, Thik Hai Per Ishq To Imaan Hota Hai

Wo Boli, Arzoain Dil Ke Andar Bain Karti Hai
Mai Bola, Thik Hai Mujh Ko Sunayi Dete Rahete Hain

Wo Boli, Hum To Jaise Ek Musalsil Dukh Ke Qaidi Hain
Mai Bola, Thik Hai Ye Zindagi Dukh Ka Tasalsul Hain

Wo Boli, Koi Shab To Khab Me Bhi Khab Aate Hain
Mai Bola, Thik Hai Kuch Hasraten Aise Bhi Kartin Hain

Wo Boli, Bareshon Me Aur Ziyadh Jaan Silagti Hai
Mai Bola, Thik Hai Ye Aag Pani Ke Masael Hain

Wo Boli,Raat Kion Mushkil Se Katti Hai Judai Me
Mai Bola, Waqt To Kaifiyaton Ka Naam Hota Hai

Wo Boli, Chahaton Me Dard Ke Rahene Ki Qahish Kion
Mai Bola, Dard Ke Mare Howoon Ko Chain Mil Ta Hai

Wo Boli, Ruh Ki Aasoodgi Ko Kiya Zaroori Hai
Mai Bola Ruh Ko Aaloodgi Achchi Nahi Lagti Hai

Wo Boli, Chand Ki Aur Chandni Ki Kiya Kahani Hai
Mai Bola, Aadam O Hawwa Ki Chahat Ki Nishani Hai…

Funny Poem (Hindi)

Click ho gaya Mouse

Ho gayi galti humse, click ho gaya mouse
Duniya ki parwaah chhodo, ban jaao meri spouse!

Tumse mila main kal to, mere dil mein hua ek sound,
Lekin aaj tum mili to kehti ho; Your file not found!

Ab aur kaho na tum, “but” ya “if”
Tum ho meri zindagi ki animated gif

Aisa bhi nahin hai ke, I don’t like your face
Par dil ke computer mein, nahin hai enough disk space

Ghar se nikalti ho tum jab, pehen ke evening gown
Too many requests se, ho jaata hai server down

Tumhaare liye pyaar ki application, create main karoonga
Tum usse debug karna, wait main karoonga

Tumhaara intezaar karte karte, main so gaya
Yeh dekho mera connection, time out ho gaya

Kya chaal hai tumhaari, jaise chalti hai koi cat
What is your ICQ numbre, aao karein chat

Tum jabse meri zindagi mein, aayi ho banke female
Yaad raha na ab kuch, na postman, na e-mail

Main tumhein pyaar kyun karoon, tum nahin ho Ash,
Phir bhi tumhe dekh kar mera, system hota hai crash

Phoolon ki Tarah

Phoolon ki tarah lagti ho
Chandan ki tarah mahakti ho
Khud bhi tum gamakti ho
Auro ko bhi gamkati ho
Tum rajni gandha ki tarah lagti ho
Badal ki tarah barasti ho
Sawan ki tarah andheri raton main
Bijli ki tarah chamkti ho
Barsat ki suhani rato main
Khud bhi pagal ho jati ho
Auro ko bhi pagal kar deti ho
Tum morni ki tarah lagti ho
Titliyon ki tarah ithlati ho
Jab phoolon ko dekhti ho
Bulbul ki tarah chahkti ho
Jab ‘Avinash’ ko dekhti ho
Khud bhi tum bahakti ho
Auro ko bhi bahkati ho
Tum ‘Basanti hawa’ ki tarah lagti ho.

Kohre ka Jab Dhundhla

Kohre ka jab dhundhla kambal odhe subah lautegi
Uni shal main simti ladki fir se mujhko sochegi
Sham Udashi ki hogi aur jhoom ke barish barsegi
Kab ye maine socha tha wo aisi rat main bichhregi
Aaj shajar ki shakh hari hai kitne parindo thahre hue hain
Ek din aisa hoga sukhi, dal parinde dhundhegi
Ja e ‘Avinash’ Uss se kahna duniya mujhse jeet gayi hai
Rel ke chhut jane par bhi jo, rasta mera dekhegi
Bachna nadiya barish ke iss pyare pyare mausham se tu
Aisa karegi tujhpe sitam tu, apna sahil dhundhegi.

Brothers and sisters Poem

Brothers and sisters Poem


Brothers and sisters
Fight like cats and dogs
They also teach and learn
And grow together
Looking out for one another
In the best of times
And through the worst
In the end
Sometimes our best friend
Can be a sister
Or a brother

A Sister's Love

There is nothing better than a sister's love,
 She knows exactly what to say and what you are thinking of.
 A sister will be there in your time of need,
 When you go astray, down the right path she will lead.
 A sister will be an ear when you need someone to talk to,
 She will be a shoulder to cry on when you are feeling blue.
 A sister's love will never die,
 The kind of love shared between you and I  

Poem About India

"Where the mind is without fear

and the head is held high;

Where knowledge is free;

Where the world has not been

broken up into fragments by

narrow domestic walls;

Where words come out from

the depth of truth;

Where tireless striving stretches

its arms towards perfection;

Where the clear stream of reason

has not lost its way into the dreary

desert sand of dead habit;

Where the mind is lead forward by thee

into ever-widening thought and action-

Into that heaven of freedom, my Father,

let my country awake."

Kabir poems(2)

My body and my mind....

My body and my mind are in depression because.
You are not with me. .
How much I love you and want you in my house! .
When I hear people describe me as your bride I look .
sideways ashamed, .
because I know that far inside us we have never met. .
Then what is this love of mine? .
I don't really care about food, I don't really care about .
sleep, .
I am restless indoors and outdoors. .
The bride wants her lover as much as a thirsty man .
wants water. .
And how will I find someone who will take a message .
to the Guest from me? .
How restless Kabir is all the time! .
How much he wants to see the Guest! .

 

The bhakti path....

The bhakti path winds in a delicate way. .
On this path there is no asking and no not asking. .
The ego simply disappears the moment you touch.
him. .
The joy of looking for him is so immense that you.
just dive in, .
and coast around like a fish in the water. .
If anyone needs a head, the lover leaps up to offer .
his. .
Kabir's poems touch on the secrets of this bhakti. .

Kabir poems(1)

I have been thinking...

I have been thinking of the difference between water
and the waves on it. Rising,
water's still water, falling back,
it is water, will you give me a hint
how to tell them apart?

Because someone has made up the word
"wave," do I have to distinguish it from water?

There is a Secret One inside us;
the planets in all the galaxies
pass through his hands like beads.

That is a string of beads one should look at with luminous eyes.

 

Are you looking for me?

Are you looking for me? I am in the next seat. .
My shoulder is against yours.
you will not find me in the stupas, not in Indian shrine.
rooms, nor in synagogues, nor in cathedrals: .
not in masses, nor kirtans, not in legs winding.
around your own neck, nor in eating nothing but.
vegetables. .
When you really look for me, you will see me.
instantly --.
you will find me in the tiniest house of time. .
Kabir says: Student, tell me, what is God? .
He is the breath inside the breath. .

There's a moon in my body....
 

There's a moon in my body, but I can't see it! .
A moon and a sun. .
A drum never touched by hands, beating, and I can't hear it! .

As long as a human being worries about when he will die, .
and what he has that is his, .
all of his works are zero. .
When affection for the I-creature and what it owns is dead, .
then the work of the Teacher is over. .

The purpose of labor is to learn; .
when you know it, the labor is over. .
The apple blossom exists to create fruit; when that.
comes, the petal falls. .
The musk is inside the deer, but the deer does not.
look for it: .
It wanders around looking for grass. .

Mirabai Poems(2)

O My Mind

O my mind,

Worship the lotus feet of the Indestructible One!

Whatever thou seest twixt earth and sky

Will perish.

Why undertake fasts and pilgrimages?

Why engage in philosophical discussions?

Why commit suicide in Banaras?

Take no pride in the body,

It will soon be mingling with the dust.

This life is like the sporting of sparrows,

It will end with the onset of night.

Why don the ochre robe

And leave home as a sannyasi?

Those who adopt the external garb of a Jogi,

But do not penetrate to the secret,

Are caught again in the net of rebirth.

Mira's Lord is the courtly Giridhara.

Deign to sever, O Master.

All the knots in her heart.

We Do Not

We do not get a human life

Just for the asking.

Birth in a human body

Is the reward for good deeds

In former births.

Life waxes and wanes imperceptibly,

It does not stay long.

The leaf that has once fallen

Does not return to the branch.

Behold the Ocean of Transmigration.

With its swift, irresistible tide.

O Lal Giridhara, O pilot of my soul,

Swiftly conduct my barque to the further shore.

Mira is the slave of Lal Giridhara.

She says: Life lasts but a few days only.

Life in the World

Life in the world is short,

Why shoulder an unnecessary load

Of worldly relationships?

Thy parents gave thee birth in the world,

But the Lord ordained thy fate.

Life passes in getting and spending,

No merit is earned by virtuous deeds.

I will sing the praises of Hari

In the company of the holy men,

Nothing else concerns me.

Mira's Lord is the courtly Giridhara,

She says: Only by Thy power

Have I crossed to the further shore.

Mirabai Poems(1)

In a Sudden
 

In a sudden,
the sight,
Your look of light,
stills all,

The curd-pot
falls to the ground.

Parents and
brothers
all call a halt.

Praise out, they say,
this thing from your heart.
You've lost your path.

Says Meera:
Who but you
can see in the dark
of a heart?

 

That Dark Dweller

That Dark Dweller in Braj
Is my only refuge.
O my companion,
Worldly comfort is an illusion,
As soon you get it, it goes.
I have chosen the Indestructible for my refuge,
Him whom the snake of death
Will not devour.
My Beloved dwells in my heart,
I have actually seen that Abode of Joy.
Mira's Lord is Hari, the Indestructible.
My Lord, I have taken refuge with Thee,
Thy slave.

 

The Plums Tasted

The plums tasted
sweet to the unlettered desert-tribe girl-
but what manners! To chew into each!
She was ungainly, low-caste, ill mannered and dirty,
but the god took the fruit she'd been sucking.

Why? She knew how to love.
She might not distinquish
splendor from filth
but she'd tasted the nectar of passion.

Might not know any Veda,
but a chariot swept her away-
now she frolics in heaven, ecstatically bound
to her god.
The Lord of Fallen Fools, says Mira,
will save anyone who can practice rapture like that-
I myself in a previous birth
was a cowherding girl
at Gokul.
