War of Mind & Heart

Why always the universe works
Opposite of what we crave for

And puts in our kitty that part
Exactly what the doctor hadn't ordered for

Why is the time always up
When we want a thing to stay On

And every second becomes an hour
When the chips are down

Why we always fall short of words
When our moment at the altar is upon

And can scribble pages after page
When seated in the crowd

Why we talk the stupidest thing
Just, for another minute, to hold on

But forget to note the sensible parts
For the laters, to laugh upon

Many a time I wonder
Is my memory so weak

That I cannot recollect
Even the simplest of things

The answer to this question is surely a NO
But it still happens, that I cannot ignore

Little introspection and the answer was staring on my face
Clear as day but eyes choose to walk away

It lies in The Moment, when its actually On
That The Moment is happening, heart can't believe upon

Do I deserve it, question first pops
Answer is No, now mind and heart are head on

Shattered by this No, heart totally shuts down,
Memories get clouded for the realisation blocks view of the town

Still I try to hold upon that moment, somehow
For it might happen again or not, totally unsure

So the only face in it remains, is that of a clown
There will be words and There will be smile
But no one ever knows what actually is going On

Bye Not So Good

Not sure goodbyes are actually adieu
Or is a hope to meet again

Not sure goodbyes are actually good
Or its coated for the bye to sound good

Not sure why it's so difficult to utter
Even when the inverse outcome is not in our hand, all time

Words fall short, voice falters
With a heavy heart, faces turn and part

Good wishes follow, with a little hug
But that Word, refuses to come out

The last wave, from a distance
Then brings down the curtains, you wish or not

Tomorrow will come, practical mind barks
But the pinch of today's goodbye, shall be doing the rounds
Until the sun rises, when the next Hi is seen and heard around

The Little Powerhouse

Little was her appearance
More little that beating heart

Yet it carried burden so heavy
Even a bulky man will fall apart

Heart craved to speak then
Listening ears couldn't be found

It yearned to cry out loud
But she found solace in the corner when dark

You are hell strong,
So you withered the storm

But you are human too, super, but human
And we all need an outlet, only to listen
A shoulder to lean when it starts pouring

Don't trouble that tiny heart, set it free
Keep the memories intact
But never remove the soul from the beating thing

स्वप्न तुमचे शब्द आमचे

काही तरी करावं असं नेहमी वाटायचं
पण नक्की काय, कसं, कुणासोबत
हे नाही वळायचं ||

इच्छा मनात खूप असायची
विचार सतत वाहत असायचे
पण दिशा काय सापडायची नाही ||

कलेने आपल्यांच्या चेहऱ्यांवर हसू आणलं
पण हे स्वतःसाठी करायचं
ते चर्चेतच मर्यादित राहायचं ||

अखेर YC कॅफेच्या टेबलं क्रमांक एक वर
आज तो सूर्य उगवला
रात्रीच्या त्या काळोखात चालण्यास 
ती किरण आज आम्हाला सापडली ||

आगमन सोहळा, श्रींच्या सोबतच आहे
सर्वानी लक्षात ठेवा ही तारिक ||

एक मेकांचा हाथ धरून, आज रणशिंग फुंकलं आहे
ज्यांना आपलं म्हणतो, त्यांच्या सोबत हा प्रवास सुरु करायचा आहे ||

मेहनत आणि वेळ देणं हे काळाच्या गरजेनुसार देऊ
आणि सर्वांनी एकत्र ताकदीने ह्या ज्योतीला मशाल बनवू  ||

Win The Day

Out of many, few are such days

When things happen as you expect

Out of many, few are those times          

When your desire becomes a reality

Winning every battle will never count

For the outcome war, defines the crown

Your moment at the altar, is now up for grabs

Cheers and celebration is in order tonight

Breathe in the moment,

Let it sink deep within

Push the throttle then, with all your might

Ensure to keep the expectations, in sight

Stay on your toes
For the best is yet to come

Call the shots, take control
Raise a toast, and make the most

Life is calling, bigger is the canvas now
And with your grace, You will scale these new heights

Tears will not hold you back,
For they will only strengthen you from within

And like the other battles,
Victory in here will also be yours

Curve Ahead

Something is changing, the heart can sense
Eyes too can see, but unsure how to take in

Times are passing, with the speed of light
The tracks are fading, with no vision insight

Curve would come, everyone knew
What after that, never thought it through

Change is inevitable, this law isn't new
How to breathe in it, I don't have any clue

-SR.

Karma is Destiny

There is only one god, the true one

Only one that can make you believe

Only one that can show you the peak

Only one that can give the satisfaction

Only one that shall grant you liberation

Dream is a fictitious reality of subconscious mind
Only one has the power to give it's taste to the conscious one

Faith in size of a mustard seed can move mountain
Only one can provide the throttle to make it happen

Hope does give a chance for another shot
Only one can provide the fire to hit the centre dot

That one is there, in every walking souls' hand
And it's utilisation only will define our lives

बीते पल

ना जाने क्यूं वक़्त थम सा जाता है
बीते हुए दीनो की तस्वीर देखकर
दिल खुद ब खुद मुस्कुराता है || [१]

हवा के झोंके, ज़िन्दगी के वो पन्ने
फिर आखों के सामने ले आता है
सब कुछ भुलाकर चेहरे पर एक हसीं छोड़ जाता है || [२]

उस तस्वीर को दोबारा जीना शायद आज संभव नहीं
ये तथ्य वो जानता है
फिर भी एक बार और कोशिश करने को
ना जाने क्यों आज दिल चाहता है || [३]

हर गम मैं साथ देंगे ये सभी ने कहा था
कुछ देर अँधेरा क्या हुवा
सभी ने अपने रास्ते बदल दिए || [४]

एहसास तो आज सभी के दिल को छु जाता है
अपने अहंकार के पार अगर झाका होता
तो शायद आज भी वो रिश्ता ज़िंदा होता || [५]

वक़्त ने जिन रिश्तों को तोड़ दिया
उसे अपने दिल मैं तुम टूटने ना देना || [६]

कभी राह मैं यूँही मुलाक़ात हो जाए
उस दोस्ती के खातिर, एक बार
तुम मुस्कुरा ज़रूर देना || [७]

कुछ पल

कुछ पलो के लिए
सारे गम भूलकर
हसने की कोशिश कर रहा था ||

सवालों ने अपना रास्ता
मुझतक का खोज ही लिया || [१]

कुछ पलो के लिए
सारे दर्द भूलकर
चलने की कोशिश कर रहा था ||

दुनियादारी की ठोकरों ने
फिर चौराहे पे लाकर खड़ा कर दिया || [२]

उस बीते हुए कल की हार
कुछ पलो के लिए भूलकर
फिर एक कोशिश करने चला था ||

वक़्त ने उस राह का दीपक
जलने से पेहले ही बुजा दिया || [३]

Why

Why do we feel sad
When we already
Knew the facts

Why do we feel broken
When someone points
That has already sunken

Why do we fall
When we knew
What was coming

Why do our eyes get teary
When everything around us
Was already dreary
