Gazal

Kandeyaan de wadde Wade jhaad hoye ne,
Sajjna ve tere baajon kivein ujaad hoye ne,

Gamaa da si kall takk nikka jiha tibba jihaa,
ajj door door teek dukhan de phaad hoye ne,

Lokkan waaste baddal warda saun aaya,
saade painde dil par jeth waale saad paye ne,

Kayi din ho gaye ke sooraj chadeyaa hi nahin,
hanereyaan de din saare karazdaar hoye ne,



Lakh koshish par jwalamukhi phut ke rehnda,
lok taayin mere hizar de raajdaar hoye ne,

Ohnu labhiye kithon jihda kade gwachya ni,
lok pucchde ne kon kitthe fraar hoye ne,

Ohnu mnaayiye ki jihda kade russeya ni,
lok puchde ne oh kehdi gall ton nraz hoye ne,



Is agg noon bujaayiye taan bujaayiye kivein,
lakkhan saagar hun takk is te bekaar hoye ne,

Main dekheya kayi phull ture sann es raste,
sab de sab ant bimaar te khaar hoye ne,

Chaahat de khanjjar chalde nitt dilo jaan te,
Deh de naal hadd takk taar taar hoye ne,



Tusin keh dinne ho ke bass nikkal aao,
toofanan chon eidan kithe koi paar hoye ne,

Tusin keh dinne ho bass khehda chaad dao,
par oh kivein chade jihde hoe girftar hoye ne,

Tusin keh dinne ho ke bass bhull jao,
par kivein, oh hoye andar bahr paye ne,



Eh preet da dukh lageya chirokna asan noon,
saadi zind layi ehio smaan tyaar hoye ne,

Mar mar ke jeena te jee jee ke marna,
takdeer agge tadbeer sitte hathyaar hoye ne,

Eithe jivein kievin bass handaa jaani hai,
agge puchange, kyon din dushwar hoye ne.

Phir ki hoya je mere naal laddi hai

Phir ki hoya je mere naal laddi hai,
mainu par pyaar bada kardi hai,
addha ghanto daftron let je ho jaavan,
vich meri yaad honke bharde hai,
phir ki hoya....

Raah vich jaande mainu je koi dekhdi hove,
ishq aapne di roti lagdi je sekdi hove,
aakhan ohnu vikhuandi aa, ishaare naal samjuandi aa,
haae! kud kud kardi aa, bud bud kardi aa, baldi aa, saddi aa,
Phir ki hoya ....

Kadi chaul te saag paalak bnaane kite saukhe ne,
khade pair banda koi keh dave ta duggne okhe ne,
par ikk waari je moohon mein kadd davaan,
saare kamm chadd ke ose wele dhardi aa,
phir ki hoya....

Kappde baau ji main laa laa sitti jaana,
khedan jaana roj shaam mitti mitti ho ke aana,
mere kolon ni hunda par kade ohne eh ni kiha,
chakkdi, kathe kardi, dhondhi, sakaundi,press kardi aa,
phir ki hoya....

Ikk din vi hun kade koi bill saada late nahin hoya,
devies da OS vi sab to pihlaan mera hunda update hoya,
khilaare saare saambhdi, sab kuj tikaandi laavndi,
jihdi cheez mangg lavo use wele liya dhardi aa,
phir ki hoya....

Te mera warga banda jihnu likhan to kade wehl nahin,
zindgi jeeni vich masti koi fikar, koi jhamel nahin, 
phir vi tarraki ho gayi do waari do saal ch,
raataan beh beh ke mera daftar da kamm vi kardi aa,
phir ki hoya....

Dard e app developer

Lok che che mahine app update ni karde,
asin lakh mehntaan karke navin bnaayi di,
lok puraani da khada hi nahin chadde.

Sada rehan mashookan waang khijaunde,
kal kal karke saanu laare launde,
uton puraane karke yaad gile shikve,
play store te gaalan kadde,
lok che che mahine app update ni karde...

Sajjna waang kayi sunehe ghalli de aa,
discount vi dayi da ghatte vi jhalli de aa,
par phir vi lokin bhora aakhe ni laggde,
lok che che mahine app update ni karde....

par je sochiye lokaan da vi ki kasoor hai,
three g pack mehnga hi Inna hazoor hai,
te sajjan beli wifi da password ni dassde,
lokin che che mahine app update ni karde...

Eh laala hai eh laala hai

Eh laala hai eh laala hai,

Eh sada aapni hi muaj ch hai rehnda,

Jittan layi score kinna vi chaahida hove,
putthian siddhian maarada eh chaalan hai,

Special ehde layi asin roje vi rakh laye,

Hun taan asin ik banda ghatt mann ke hi challi da,
Duniyaa daari te naate bass ehnu batting te ghalli da,
bass ik hi honslaa hai hun taan saanu,
koi saal do saal ch eh retire hon hi waala hai,
eh laala hai, eh laala hai...

Letting it go

It is easy to know
all I have to say is no,
but it is ultra hard
letting it go.

For the memories
are not magnetic disks,
over and over,
painful thought kicks.

And the mind
so good at processing routines,
but alas it's affinities
for corrupt routines.

Stuck in the wilderness
of infinite execution,
the system is often
on the brink of exhaustion.

Ah!! machines today
I am so jealous of you
so much happens but
almost nothing perturbs you.

Ho sake taan bandeyaan phull de waangu ho

Utton sohna, te vich khushbo,
ho sake taan bandeyaan phull de waangu ho,
je koi dekhe taan dil khush hove,
kole je koi aake baithe taan chitt raaji ho,
Utton sohna, te vich khushbo,
ho sake taan bandeyaan phull de waangu ho....

A lost diamond

I am almost 28 years at the time of this writing. During the course of my life i have met many great people. Beautiful, skillful, kind, caring, disciplined, dedicated, you name a quality and immediately the pictures of people flashes in front of my eyes to whom i can attribute the virtues. But of all the people one guy stands out whenever i think of the best i have met. My judgment or admiration is more from the point of view of completeness rather than of prodigy. By completeness i mean who was competent in all the aspects i can or could think there are in life.

Starting with the first thing that gets noticed, the physical aspects. He was at least 6 feet, a tall and handsome man. If a little interpolation is allowed and a visual clue is needed you can think of Hrithik Roshan. Trust me i am not exaggerating much. Under similar circumstances and with similar resources at their helm he will be quite a match to him. He was quite proficient in dancing and what to say of English songs he was totally into it. It was quite unusual for someone from the place i belong to have so much interest in English songs and be so much aware of it considering that those were the years from 1998 to 2003 with no Internet. He had some relatives living abroad may be that was the factor.

Moving to sports he literally had the batting style of Ricky Ponting. His stance and pull shot was exact carbon copy of Punter. Once our gully team played against the team he was in. It was a 12 over match i think with a cosco ball in the proper ground. We swept of their team very cheaply in very few overs and at the end he alone was standing. We had a rule for the match the last man who is left after everybody gets out also gets to bat till he gets out. Then came the big thrashing. I don’t remember the exact scores. But he alone took the score of his team to 75 by the end of the innings. I was literally dumbstruck to see him scoring so easily and so quickly. Then there was once a cricket match at our school where our class played against our seniors. I was not in the team since it was played using the red cherry the leather ball. Our seniors scored quite a good score and sitting behind the stumps on stage i was not sure whether we will anywhere near the total. But then came the Punter, he thrashed them all over the place and with a magnificent hit which landed on the swings on the other ground of the school our class won the match.If all that is not enough he was quite good at bowling and batting left handed also.

Coming to his leadership skills, there was hardly anybody in our class who did not have his respect. Everybody was at his command. He was the chief of all the mis-chives. From starting the class cricket using a ball of paper sheets to throwing people in the paddy fields in the recess time, convincing other boys to bunk the classes for 2 to 3 hours and go to market to buy the eatables. Clapping suddenly unnecessarily in the class, not sitting after the teacher has repeatedly asked to sit down after the afternoon wish. This may not show much of the leadership skills and the following he has as there were hardly any opportunities to put them to good use.

Now considering all the above adoration, one may get the impression that he might not be good at studies. To be frank he was the star in this arena also. He was mostly in top three at school. All the teachers had very high hopes from him always. During his spare time he used to learn C programming from a local teacher. It may not sound like much an accomplishment considering how aware people are of computers and programming because of the recent revolutions in the computing world. But considering the times they were and on top of that a small municipal with a population of ten thousand where it is still hard to find a science teacher to teach in a school, i was astonished to know how aware he was of things going around. Even now at my place hardly anybody learns programming in school.

I literally used to look at him with an awe and always wanted to be like him. I always felt like he could choose any thing. Acting, Sports, Studies and he would become a topmost player in his field. Of the many things i was curious about future, one was what profession he will choose and how excellent he will be in it. We all passed our senior secondary and he took a very strange decision to drop for a year and try out his hand at various things. Once i was in my hometown during vacation that year and he asked me what should he do for a career. He seemed so confused and unsure that day. I felt so bad and low seeing him in such a state. Here was the man i was thinking would conquer the world and i would get to rejoice in his success and here he was asking me for advice. I felt like my dream was shattered a diamond was lost. An Ashoka was left confused in the maze called world because no Chankaya picked him up. An Alexndra has lost his path as no Aristotle was there to guide and teach him.

But in the end we all get what we want subconsciously deeply in our hearts. He once told me life is all about seeing the world. World he is seeing now. But i still feel he could done much much better with his talents and definitely a diamond has been lost.
