​​Dikhayi na pade kuch, andhera charon ore,

Kaanon mein gunjta hai khamoshiyon ka shor.

Dil mein chupe ehsaas umadne ki zid karte hain,

Belagam ghode bankar har disha mein daudte hain.

Kuch sahi hua to, par kuch hua galat kyun,

Aise sawaal khudse karti hun is peher kyun.

Jeevan mein mere jinki bharti kami nahi hai,

Hain door kahin mujhse, par baste ab yahin hain.

Haath badhau to shayad unhe chhu lu main,

Ho khwab ya ho chahat, mil jaaye to le lu main.

Sanson mein saans judke ek zindagi banti hai,

Katre si phir inayat kyun dil ki na milti hai.

      1. yes the stillness of night gives birth to great thoughts…however make sure you arent awake just to write this…health is most supreme in life and sleep is an imp ingredient for that.
        I had started doing that some time back..waking up at night and instead of trying to get sleep, writing blogs etc..Then the self created transformation started…even if i feel like hell i try not to touch mobile at night..instead read some book or even watch something on tv…and we decided to go out even if to nearby park for some physical activity on holidays….I hope i wasnt preachy or overcommunicative 🙂 🙂

        1. Haha….what does the word overcommunicative mean exactly? ????
          No, I wasn’t up just to write this. I had a writing assignment that took longer than expected. By the time I finished it was well past 1 and I had lost my sleep. After dillydallying for an hour I finally got up to write.
          I know it isn’t healthy but in the still of the night I get the peace to write. Else I’m somehow fitting my writing time in the vague gap I get in between both kids.

          1. overcomminication means jaha char shabdo se kaam chale waha solah shabd kahna 🙂 . i am told i ovter explain things ????
            what are these assignments..you write for some publications or on wordpress ? Its great to see your energy and determination and its very inspiring.

          2. See..through written medium some sort of explanation is needed. Else it is easy to derive separate meanings from the same words. I don’t mind this overexplaining. ????
            Thanks Parijat…is it ok if I tell you about this in private?

          3. i think i get what you mean…written words lead to a lot of interpretation and sometimes confusion as well as we arnt able to see facial expression or even tbe tone of expression…you are free to write whichever medium you feel comfortable with.

    1. Haha…you can say rebirth of a poet. If you dig into my archives, you will find quite a few I’ve shared.
      Thank you very much Sudhir. ????

        1. I tried…but somehow there were alignment and font-size issues, and I didn’t have much patience then, to be honest. For next time I will use Hindi font. Thanks for the suggestion. ☺

  1. By chance I came to this post and saw the chain of communication we had in the comment section. I really enjoyed it. Its ben nine years but it feels like we are having this conversation today. but i must admit one thing I was sharper and had better communication skills then. So I have deteriorated !! What do you feel about it especially your “sahi pakde hain” remark 🙂

    1. That was the time when writing and blog interactions were regular. Sometimes I feel I wrote better then since it wasn’t for work and I genuinely enjoyed it. You should blog again, maybe. It sharpens our skills. Sahi pakde hain is still a fun line! 😃

Appreciate your feedback!
