यह वो समय था जब मैं लड़कपन के जोश में, बेबाक, बेफिक्र, मदमस्त हाथी की तरह चला जा रहा था | संतुष्ट जीवन की छाँव तले मेरे ह्रदय में बस एक ही आस थी | उन हसीन पलों में हर रंग थोड़ा और रंगीन लगता है, हर चेहरा आफरीन लगता है, इन हवाओं में एक नशा सा घुल जाता है और हर स्वाद तोड़ा और नमकीन लगता है |
इस दिल से उठती ख़ुश्बू के कुछ कतरे आपकी नज़र करता हूँ:
तकते थे राह उनकी,
इस कशमकश में यूँही ग़ज़ल बन गयी,
के दिल में उठा एक ख़याल,
और मुश्किल ख़ुद हल बन गयी ||
♥ ♥ ♥ doc2poet
वो कहते हैं तू ख़याल है बस,
इस पागल दिल का फ़ितूर है तू,
पर ज़िंदा हूँ मैं, खुद सुबूत है ये ,
के शायद कहीं ज़रूर है तू ||
♥ ♥ ♥ doc2poet
ढूँढता हूँ तुझे इन लकीरों में,
के तेरी ख़्वाहिश बेइंतहाँ है ,
बसा है तेरा अक्स इस दिल में,
पर जाने तू कहाँ है, जाने तू कहाँ है ||
♥ ♥ ♥ doc2poet
तेरे ख़यालों में ऐसा डूबा,
जैसे वर्षा घनघोर हुई,
जाने कब बीती रात ,
और जाने कब भोर हुई ||
♥ ♥ ♥ doc2poet
तेरा नाम लबों से गुज़रे अरसा हुआ,
पर मुस्कुराहट अभी बाकी है,
कैसे भुला दूँ तुझे ए हमनशीं,
के चाहत अभी बाकी है ||
♥ ♥ ♥ doc2poet
ख़्वाब में मिलीं कल नज़रें उनसे,
जाने दो पल में क्या कह गयीं,
हम अंदाज़-ए-बयाँ पर ही मर मिटे,
और बात अधूरी रह गयी ||
♥ ♥ ♥ doc2poet
ये तू नहीं, तेरी याद है बस,
अब कौन इस दिल को समझाए,
तेरी जुस्तजू ने शायर किया,
एक झलक जाने क्या कर जाए ||
♥ ♥ ♥ doc2poet

Love can be found in the darkest of hearts if one only remembers to seek it. Sometimes we need to see though eyes of others to see the love that lies within us. But it doesn’t always happen as the cupid desires to be, sometimes the worldly pleasures takes over our instincts. Sometimes we fail to see the light, the love which we have subconsciously locked away and the emotions cannot penetrate the shell around it. In a world of “tit for tat” we are yet to see “love for love” to decide the fate of all love stories. Some love stories do not see the dawn of eternity, some love stories just fade away in time. Here’s one such story that met with a similar fate but remember that it is just the story or the characters that die, the love lives on and on and on.
Love at first sight it was, as pure as it can be, She is everywhere, it’s all he can see, Knows no boundaries, fears no fear, Just wanna love her, and hold her dear,
It’s a pity she didn’t love him, Mocked him & shunned him away, But he never learned to not-love her, Without her…he wouldn’t last a day,
She was everything for him, He loved her unconditionally anyway, But his love couldn’t prevail, She wouldn’t believe-no matter what he say,
He didn’t know anything but to love her, So he loved her to his last breath, And proved his love in life and in death…
***
It may be heart shattering to see your beloved but not being able to embrace her in your arms but remember that you are never alone if you love yourself. You don’t have to be what others want you to be.
दिलों में छलकती मोहब्बत, लकीरों में समा ना सकी,
जम के बरसी दोनों ही तरफ, पर प्यास फिर भी बुझा ना सकी…
You don’t have to be interesting or entertaining, spontaneous or sociable. You are beautiful the way you are. The right people are going to recognize your worth. Life is too short, and your own happiness is far too important to think otherwise.
मोहब्बत के बाज़ार में,
इक उम्र ख़र्च कर आए हम,
पर खता भी क्या इन लम्हों की,
जब ख्वाब ही थे सजाए कम,
फूलों की दिलकश चाहत मे,
कटों ने ढाए…कितने सितम,
बे-इंतेहाँ मेरे प्यार के,
बदले मे पाए केवल गम,
खुशियाँ तेरी तुझमें ही हैं,
कहाँ मुस्कान तेरी? क्यूँ आँखें नम?
दिल को थोड़ा…ज़रा यार समझा,
हर दिल को यहाँ, मिलता नहीं सनम,
करनी है मोहब्बत, तो खुद से कर,
कोई और मिले…तो करना कम,
कोई और मिले…तो करना कम… ||

Sometimes the best thing you can do is not think, not wonder, not imagine, not obsess. Just breathe, and have faith that everything will work out for the best.
A long due post in my “True-love” series and I am glad blogadda came up with this prompt. Hope you like it. Don’t forget to share and come back for more.:-)
Let yourself be silently drawn by the surreal pull of love.
A soul mate isn’t one who completes you but the one who inspires you to complete yourself. Someone who loves you with so much conviction and so much heart that it is nearly impossible to doubt just how capable you are of becoming exactly who you have always wanted to be.
Love someone who loves your free spirit,
Sets your wild self free and runs amok with it,
Someone who never belittles you,
Loves you in all shades of emotions,
All gloomy colors, any boiling hue,
Someone who knows how gentle you are,
But doesn’t kindle your fragile scars,
Someone who knows your might and feels proud of it,
Shares your secrets and flaws but doesn’t arouse guilt,
Find someone who is
Patient, forgiving, and apologetic,
Humble, kind and empathetic,
Not only with you but everyone,
The one who shares your soul,
And loves you like none…
The best place in the world is in the arms of someone who will not only hold you up and hug you tight at your weakest moment.
When you choose a life partner, you are choosing a lot of things, including
Your parenting partner: someone who will deeply influence your children,
Your eating companion for about innumerable meals,
Your travel companion: someone to share memories with,
Your retirement friend, career therapist and someone whose day you’ll hear about for the rest of your life.
All said and done but love can never be planned, it is always spontaneous. Never underestimate the power and possibilities of ‘koi-no-yokan’.
When you have found your ‘special someone’ and choose to tap your privilege to be able to say ‘I love you’ to him/her, remember that you have to earn the right to be believed, the right to be loved.
I love you in ways
you have never been loved,
For reasons
you have never been told,
For longer
than you think you deserved,
And with more
than you will ever know
that existed inside me…

Forelsket (Norwegian): The euphoria you experience when you’re first falling in love.
Koi-no-yokan (Japanese):The sense one can have upon first meeting a person that the two of you are going to fall in love. Differs from “love at first sight” as it does not imply that the feeling of love exists, only the knowledge that a future love is inevitable.
The love saga will continue…keep in touch for more:-)
Love is perpetual and illimitable and cannot possibly be squeezed into a few words (and the sugar coating doesn’t help either). It is the rawest, purest feeling which can only be felt with a pious heart. But we don’t need to figure out what love actually means to embrace it. It will find the longing heart itself. True love is born out of a divine connection between two souls and they need not necessarily be young adults of opposite sex but even parents, siblings and friends can share true love too. The hottest Bollywood theme of parents pitted against the amour has always sparked short circuits in my heart and brain. True love is more often portrayed as a pursuit of your beloved but I feel it is much beyond materialistic endeavors.
Love is a feeling of being inexplicably drawn to another person, wishing for his/her happiness without caring for your own self. Love is a gamut of adjectives and a conglomerate of emotions and feelings. It is crazy, complicated and most importantly real and it cannot be hidden where it truly exists. Love may be a lot of things but it is always a positive feeling. It may have a different meaning for each one of us on a scale ranging from infatuation to obsession; where true loves lies somewhere in between but is being mistaken more often than being understood. In this gadget driven virtual world people don’t like love; they only like the idea of love. The squishy toys and splashy gifts exchanged on national romantic days have replaced love for all practical purposes.
True love is eternal, true love never dies,
True love is illimitable; beyond oceans and skies,
