Nostalgia

 A Trip Down the Memory Lane

Haphazardly I went from the woods of barren land

Seeing the worst of nightmares

The cries of lost fertility crave for freedom

I plead for an Arcadian(idea of life believed to be perfect) town in this fleeting livelihood

Where effervescent(blooming) is nowhere to be seen

UNSPOKEN WORDS

Do you remember a place from your childhood, that used to be filled with joy and happiness?

Perhaps lush green lands, gardens blooming with flowers.

Or farms decorated in gold of sunflower or wheat.

That smell of soil after rains.

Wasn't it all so serene.

But with time, it lost all its charms.

The happiness and colours turned dull.

The writer is trying to tell about such a place close to her heart.

The writer says that she came to such a place after a long time and cannot believe what had happened to the wonderful place.

She uneasily went through the place.

Where there used to be tall green trees, now lies a barren land which has nothing but just sand left.

Even in her worst nightmares, she could not imagine that this place, which was the source of livelihood of tireless farmers, is now infertile.

The land now seems to be crying about its lost glory.

The town is filled with nothing but a gloomy silence.

All that the writer wishes is that somehow that old calmness and joy would return in this town which is no longer present.

She wishes somehow the soil turns fertile and the people of the town get back their livelihood and happiness.

She hopes to see this town just like it was during her childhood.

The circus of Life

LIFE AS WE KNOW IT

Hope is no longer the same.

Longing onto seems like a job in vain.

The zeal of living is no longer the same.

Faking it seems like an act in vain.

The beauty of the dreams is no longer the same.

Appreciating it seems like a talk in vain.

The warmth of happiness is no longer the same.

Feeling the aura of it seems like a shot in vain.

Unspoken Words

Life is full of ups and downs.

 It can take many twists and turns. 

Throughout this journey, hope is the most important thing that stays with. Hope helps us live through tough phases and wait for happy times. 

But how long can one hope? How long can one wait for things to change? 

The writer is trying to express the fight she is fighting within her mind where her hopes of something good happening in life is diminishing fast.

The writer says that her hopes are no longer high. 

She has been holding onto hopes of good times to come for so long but now it all seems vain.

She has been living her life full of passion, full of hopes of great things happening.

 She might be sad, her heart may be heavy but she would carry a smile on her face. 

But now it seems futile.

 It is hard to fake a smile anymore.

She had so many dreams of doing great things in life.

 She had planned great things for herself.

 But now it seems like the world of dreams is crashing down. 

She can no longer talk about its beauty as they are slowly turning into a nightmare.

She was once encircled with happy thoughts. Filled with joy. 

There were once warm feelings in her heart about life. 

But now it is the all cold harsh reality. 

The reality from which she has been trying to run away but she can't. 

The sadness has taken over all the hopes and all her thoughts of happiness are in vain.

Unheard Truths of Life

Noise of hymns, I hear.
Shadows of the past, I have seen.
Ranting of souls, I wonder.
Rumbling of clear water, I fear.
Ethereal blossom of the dead, I smell.
Epiphany about mere existence, I Honor.

Unspoken Words

What is life?
What is the purpose of life?
What happens after life. Mere thought about these questions can be spine-chilling.
The writer is thinking about these questions and expressing the emotional rollercoaster ride as these questions come to mind.
We hear so many songs, about love, about God, about life.
But do they really mean anything or is it just noise.
We make uncountable memories in our life.
I remember sweet memories of childhood.
I can think about those times but never relive it.

Every person has some inner desires.

Some dreams and passions, which they wanted to fulfil but could never do.

Is it because they didn't do enough or is it because it was never meant to happen.

Who knows.

Sometimes everything looks so beautiful yet feels surreal.

Everything goes smooth. Yet I fear something might spoil this moment.

Is it a calm before storm.

Everything seems beautiful, but then you never know what bad might happen.

If life has a beginning ..it will certainly have an end.

But it is up to us how we live. We can make life happy journey for ourselves and others.

We can stay content with what we get or regret about unfulfilled dreams.

It doesn't matter how we live it.

Everything will end some day. And nobody knows the other side of it.

The Troublemaker

The troublemaker

Was it me?
Was it her?
Or
Was it you altogether?

      Unspoken Words

We all have been in several kinds of relationships in our lives.

Some work beautifully well, but some end up in a dark alley.

We regret each passing day, sometimes we blame ourselves for the mess.

But very few of us really dig deep what could be the reasons for that(Relationship) to end.

Here in this particular post, the writer is introspecting.

Here she is trying to analyze the root cause of her broken relationship.

It was not her. 

Her love was all one could ever wish for.

It was not even the girl whom he cheated with.

It was him. 

It was him from the start.

It was him till the end.

He was the root cause of everything.

He did not have the capacity to love, to cherish it and to protect.

He did not even love that girl either.

He was for real the Troublemaker.

Tiny Little Things In life which excite me

The sweet Florals of the night delight me.
The warmth of my favorite sweater pleases me.
The melody of my windchime soothes me.
The beauty of my handmade notebook mesmerizes me.
The sound of temple bells ruminate me.

Unspoken Words

This particular poem as the title suggests is trying to illuminate the tiny little things that excite me in life.

Sometimes the value of the worldly pleasures diminishes and we get inclined to more natural things in life.

Things which truly have the capabilities of touching your soul and triggers your mind.

The basic things can give us immense joy which money can't buy.

In this poem, I have tried to capture the few things which have a great impact on my life.

The sweet mild fragrance of the flowers which blossom during the dark delight my soul.

The warmth of my favorite comfy black sweater pleases my body and soul.

The engaging fairly distinct pitches of my windchime soothe me.

The charm of my wood-carved notebook delights me.

The sound of morning prayers and temple bells meditates me.

The Impossible

I hear strange voices in an empty room, filled with feelings.
I feel the cold breeze in a warm desert.
I have been to places where starlight mingles with a fully cloudy sky.
I have looked at the afternoon sun with bare eyes.
I feel the airs of heaven in this cruel sky.
I have witnessed the heart of gold with a wicked smile.

The Unspoken Words

This particular poem is really close to my heart.

In this poem as the title says the writer is trying to experience the "IMPOSSIBLE".

The above statement is an irony in itself.

The poet is in a zone of Uncertainty and unattainability.

Every line of this poem is contradictory to the world.

She has heard voices in a room where no one is present.

She has felt a draft of cold air of in a hot desert.

When the sky is fully cloudy there is no scope of stars or starlight but here poet has been to such places.

Such statement is a contradiction to itself.

You can never look at the bright afternoon sun with your bare eyes again "Impossible".

The poet claims that she has experienced heaven in this cruel world.

And last but not the least, the biggest irony of all

witnessed a person so genuine and pure basically a gem

with a "wicked" smile.

Shayri for Love

• URDU SHAYRI

Nirangi -e -halaton* Mai hum reh Gaye
Jazb -e -dil phir bhi tumharey liye dua karta Raha
*Nirangi-e- haalat -dhoka

निरंगी ए हालातों मे हम रेह गए।

ज़ज़्ब ए दिल फ़िर भी तुम्हारे लिए दुआ करता रहा।

*निरंगी ए हालातों - धोखा

Unspoken Words

When someone betrays you in love a part of you is dead. You lose the meaning of your life.

You feel like your soul is parting ways with your body.

Your world crumbles around you.

You feel the world is a place where you will get betrayed most of the time.

Here in my shayri, the writer is trying to convey the thoughts and feelings of a lover whose partner left him.

That world of self-doubt and betrayal is called Nirangi-e-Haalat.

After her lover betrayed her she indulged herself in this world of self-loathing and betrayal.

But still, her heart only beats for her lover.

Even after all this,

what he did, her heart(Jzb -e-Dil) still prays for his well being and growth.

Her love is too pure to curse him or even utter anything against him.

Love Poem

Tumko mainy apnay dil kay itnay kareeb rakh liya tha , ki jab tum gaye toh laga ki dil ka tukda nikal liya ho jaisay.

तुमको मैने अपने दिल के इतने क़रीब रख  लिया था  , कि जब तुम गए तोह लगा की दिल का टुकड़ा निकाल लिया हो जैसे। 

Unspoken Words

When someone is in love, he or she makes his or her beloved his or her whole world.
Their life revolves around the person they love.
They dream of having a beautiful life with them.
And some fortunate people are living a life of their dreams.
In this post, a lover is trying to introspect her feelings.
She was madly and deeply in love with her partner.
She has made him her whole world.
He used to live in her heart. No one ever got so close to her but him.
But when he parted his ways, she was devastated.
When he left a part of her died. Her soul died.
She cannot love anyone ever again.

Love can be destructive and constructive both at once.
