Just like that: Bas, yun hi

Bas, yun hi

Laboun ko si hi lo
Ke kuchch kehne ki khwaahish to jaag jaaye
~ ~
Eik qatre ko palkon par barf ki tarah jam jaane do

Kabhi na kabhi to pyaas lag jaaye
~ ~
Maut ko aane se rok nahin sakte
Magar uske jaane ka to intezaam ho jaaye
~ ~
Agar rooh baat kar sakti
To uss se bhi jism ki tareef ho jaaye
~ ~
Lamhoun ko saans lene ki fursat na ho
Waqt bas aise guzar jaaye
~ ~
Kehte hai ke kismet likh kar aati hai
Humein bhi uske qaseede sunaaye jaaye
~ ~
Kehne ke liye hum bade khudgarz hai
Iss liye kaaynath ka khaalipan hum mein samaa jaaye
~ ~
Aaine mein chehra dekhna padta hai
Apne-aap se mulaqat karne ka bahaana mil jaaye
~ ~
Itni door chale gaye hai hum
Ke nazdeekiyan bhi sharminda ho jaaye
~ ~
Kitni deir tak intezar karoge
Kaheen phool darakht par hi murjha na jaaye

Brilliant! [Applause, applause, applause...]

Just curious to understand as to how the process of writing something so beautifully poignant works. If it isn't a trade secret or something personal, I would love to understand the process of creation in real, not abstract, terms.

And, why not a book of poetry? If there is already one, send the title etc. for us to peruse.

Circle, SM, Amandeep:

Bohat shukria...chhoti koshish...

PS:

Thanks. No trade secret, but it is perhaps abstract and in my case weird. Maybe a blog on that later...

No book of poems out, but years ago I had designed the cover, found a title and wrote the dedication...only there were no poems to put in there. Now the poems are there and I am lost...
