Where the winds may lead....

Destination matters not
Its the journey I care for
Just letting life hold your hand
And take you where it pleases

Could life ever, exciting be
If one could predict one's destiny?
And so the sciences of this world
Hold no more a charm for me

Astrology, Numerology I wished to learn
I yearned to know what the future held
Now it is the present that matters more
I fret not for what the next moment may bring.

Each day I unwrap a new gift from life
A challenge to be faced, a lesson to be learnt
A chance to witness different hues of this world,
to touch a life here, to bring a smile there!

As days advance into years, I age,I grow
I see, I hear, I realize,I know
I walk, I stumble, I fall , I rise
That's the summary of life I surmise.

Where the tides may turn
Where the winds may lead
Where my heart may nudge
There I shall be!!

An Urdu Couplet

 

Wo kashish na hoti mehsoos jo hoti thi kabhi

Socha na tha halaat ke sath badlenge jazbat bhi kabhi

Ek daur wo tha tum pal mein samajh jate the mujhe

Ek daur ye hai tum rehte ho mujhse bujhe bujhe

Mujhe dil ke kareeb mante the tum kabhi

Mujhe mujhse behtar jante the tum kabhi

Jane kaise a gayin dooriyan darmiyan

Jane hue kaise do dost anjan

Yad a jata hai kabhi yun hi bhula koi lamha

Ek sama woh that aur ek ye hai sama......

The Demon

There's a melody in my heart

That I've been yearning to sing

You've caged me long enough

Now let me spread my wings



I'm sick of your rules

I'm tired of your ways

I know I'll be sent for

I'm just counting my days



How can my fellow brethrens

Not see you for who you are?

How can they mistake your glitter

For the radiance of a star?



Your progeny is blind and deaf

Though they may have eyes and ears

They are fooled by the illusion

Their true voice they cannot hear.



You snatch away from them

All they hold close and dear

You numb their minds

With your silent savage spear.



They are unaware of your presence

They know not you exist

In the chalices of their hearts

You grow like a cyst.



I cannot recall when your

false words captured my soul

And gnawed at it unceasingly

Until I failed to feel whole.



How do I follow your kin?

For they themselves are lost

In having trusted you

They are paying a heavy cost.



I'd rather be called insane

Then be as sane as they are

For then I'd be trampled too

A little blossoming flower.



You've done enough damage

I can take no more

Help must be on its way

I prayed from my core.



Once I was naive

But now I know better

In paving my own way

I shall no longer deter.




Your tyrrany can't lost forever

Your day shall also come

Your game shall be busted

You will be undone.



O step away you beast and look

My mother awaits me

In her comforting presence

I shall learn of my destiny.



She will take me to a land

Where I can just Be.

I shall sing my song there

And set myself Free!
