sheeshe ki gudia...


sheeshe ki gudia aaj toot hi gayi...
naaz tha apne khwabon per,
ashaon per armaano per,
ankhon ki masoomiyat per,
ladakhpan ki masroofiyat per,
dil ki komal sarsarahat per,
khamosh pyaar ki aahat per,
khudai per insaniyat per,
dhadkanon ke ruhaniyat per,
izhaar ke nazuk ikraar per
do dilon ke sacche pyaar per,
aakhir mohabbat usse rooth hi gayi...
sheesh ki gudia aaj toot hi gayi..

sheeshe ki gudia aaj toot hi gayi...
apne kho gaye ek ajnabi khel mein,
chaahat bikhar gayi rishton ki 'sale' mein,
alladpan badal gaya ek karhwe ehsaas mein,
ankhein nam hui kashmakash ke gehre raaz mein,
deewani banke haari na-mukammal preet mein,
vishwas raha na uska jeevan na miit mein,
aakhir sapno ki duniya usse chhoot hi gayi...
sheeshe ki gudia aaj toot hi gayi...


The above piece is something i had penned down quite a while ago (in a weird frame of mind, im assuming..hmmm!)
I found it while cleaning my desk today and so decided to post it.

  2. sheeshe ki gudiya ko shayad ek din tootna hi tha, kismat ne ye pehle hi likh diya tha ... Everyone of us could relate to it somewhere, at some point of our life .. Beautifully penned ..

    and some lines from that same song---which indeed are very apt and true...

    "Duniya ek tamasha hai
    Aasha aur nirasha hai
    Thode phool hai kaante hai
    Jo taqdeer ne baante hain
    Apna apna hissa hai
    Apna apna kissa hai
    Sheesha ho ya dil ho
    Aakhir toot jaata hai
    Lab tak aate aate haathon se
    Sagar choot jaata hai"

    to that i can only say---
    woh din kuch aur the,
    woh samah kuch aur tha...
    jis lamhe ne yeh lafz likhe,
    woh lamha kuch aur tha...

    :)

if you think differently, go right ahead & express yourself..you might help me grow up in the process and i would be thankful.
if you think alike, you can ofcourse talk too..you might help me feel less alone in the crowd and i would be grateful.
Whatever you might think, i would love to know your reaction!!!
