Kho gaye hum

Dil hi dil main
Kho gae hum
Saanso ke palko main
So gaye hum

So gaye hum in nasheele baahon main
Na rok saki yea dil
is haseen muskurahat se

Ret ke jaise pighal gae hum
NA pyaas bujhi
In hoton ki baarish se

Na pyaas bujhi
in hoton ki baarish se
Na raat guzri
in lamho ki tarikh se

Girti patto ki tarah
Kuch bol na pae hum
Na pae kuch bol
in phigle fulo ki tarah

Agar ho sake to
rokiye na humain
Hum naachis jaise
kitne aaenge

Ap ki roshan se phigal jaenge
Kho gaye hum mitti ki tarah
Paani ki tarah beh gaye hum


Dil hi dil main
kho gae hum
Saanso ke palko main
So gaye hum

Beautiful rendition of love, Gently expressed in words. There seemed to be a soothing aura created in the backdrop from where the feel of the poem gently sinks in.

Keep writing more. Tc. :)

I am Society

I am society I am the mind I am greedy I am the kind I am love And I am peace I am what you Think of me is I twirl and twist And stop the change I break the bottle And shift the phase I am Mighty I am a Beast I can be tasty But I can be least Least bothered Least concerned Lest you make Me feel I am perfect I am time I am mortal I am fine I am a story I am a tale I was the king And the angel I am cold Cold like the mountains And I am warm Warm When the sunshine beats When the grenades fail I am the blanket I inhale All your sorrow All your grief I am old And I am ancient But I am patient I am the society - Saswati Barat

In Security

Where do insecurities stem from? How are they formed? Why do they keep bothering us? To put it nicely, I have met and dated a lot of men, and to put it professionally, I am an accomplished psychologist; pun excluded ; everybody has their own insecurities. Some in the form of past experiences, emotions they could not handle, a "Dil ka Dhoka" alias treachery or loosing trust to the extent of imagining or having what mainstream psychology calls pessimistic thoughts, i.e. they just cannot think anything else apart from "what might go wrong". Quite often, the circumstances of our present, our existence becomes "too" real for us. As natural as instinct, constant comparison to past memories and self idealized standards kills the thrill of here and now. What happens with constant emotional insecurity ? "It's insecurity that is always chasing you and standing in the way of your dreams."   -  Vin Diesel

Commotion

Let it go Let it stay Let it run But see it does not run away Let it feel Let it touch Let it hold But only till you can behold Sweet noise Purple dust Morning and Twilight of dusk Sincere love Pathetic anyways ? Sooth your heart Open it Smell it But see that you don't hurt it Don't eat it It might not taste so good As it looks to be Be like that Do like this Compare Don't Consult Judge by your brain Not your heart Judge By the ways You have experienced Life And not by the Ways taught to you Sense it And it will be yours May be Forever... - Saswati Barat 1:14 Am May 21,2009
