Khushk khushi: Arid ecstacy

Khushk khushi

Bohat khushi hui aap se milkar
Kasoor khushi ka hai ke woh behek jaati hai
Chhotisi khwaahishon mein palee hai
Darwaze par khat-khatahat sunkar lagta hai koi rehne aaya hai

Kabhi dekha hai
Uske haathon ki lakeeron ko
Aisa nahin lagta ke jaise
Kisine seene mein teer maar diya ho

Khushi aur main nikal pade
Kuchch na kuchch to mil hi jaata hai
Aasmaan se do-chaar badal chun liye
Aur bichcha diye banjar zameen pe

Darakht ki chhaon mein
Dhoop se to bach gaye hum
Lekin patte gin-gin ke
Phoolon ki chaah to nahin ho gayi kum

Kitni door saath chalengey
Yeh soch-soch kar saath hi chhoot gaya
Jab raasta mera alag hona hi tha
To usne apne pairon ke nishaan kyon chhod diye

Yeh khalish se azad hona
Mushkil to hai
Poore sehra ko saraab samajhna
Himaqat hi hai

Isi liye ab to reit mein hi
Aina dekh lete hai
Sookhi tasweer ka batwaara karna
Aasaan ho jaata hai

yeah I know the lyrics to that song might have nothing to do with your poem, but it came to mind. Particularly with the pairoN ka nishaan. . .

huge hugs!

a little out of place to ask this... but when will you write about the race to include Taj in the 7 wonders?

I dont know what you will have to write about the new seven wonders once the names come out.

I guess I should ask these Qs in an email seperately

:-)

Why? Who? Could not leave even the 'khushi' of a few words? While I am asleep a lot happens...
