Happy New Year 2021

Remembering Carrie Fisher

Merry Christmas

In his lane, all ordeals wane.

May the sick be eternally healed.

May the healthy invariably stay healthy...

Happy Children's Day

May the age of the child in each one of us be equal to the age of our mortal bodies...

Happy Diwali

May every heart be brimmed with love and benevolence and every smidgen of hate and greed be burned...

Happy Birthday Shah Rukh Khan

 55 Years ago, he saw the light of day and since over three decades, he has brimmed millions of lives with love.

May the camera of your life eternally roll and may your might never fail to delight whenever there is darkness in sight...

Happy Navratri

 May the lives of all always have a presence of a divine light that keeps us safe while bringing us back to our nests at the end of every day...

Whenever

 I listen to your recordings whenever I get time from looking at your photos…

Aaj bhi

 Jis rahguzar ka tumne barson se deedaar tak bhi nahin kiya

Wo aaj bhi tumhaare pairon ke nishaan ko apna gehna bataati hai

Jis rahguzar ko tumne barson se yaad tak bhi nahin kiya

Wo aaj bhi har shab tumhe yaad karne ke baad hee soti hai…

International Day of the Girl Child

 The conception of a girl child is a benediction and her birth is the birth of eternal bliss. The ones who are blessed by a girl child will invariably be blessed by God…

Waqt

 Gaye the lekar saath jis waqt ko

Lautna toh usko bhi saath le aanaa

Gaye the lekar saath jin yaadon ko

Laut naa paanaa toh dil mein unko hamesha zinda rakhna…

Shama

 Bujhti hui shama par has raha tha kal jo

Aaj roshni se mehroom hokar ro raha hai wo…

Happy Birthday Lal Bahadur Shastri Ji

 Duniya se jaakar bhi duniya mein reh jaate hain

Ek aab-daar yaad bankar Aalam ko mehkaate hain

Shaan ko unki lafz apne hudood mein kabhi bhi samaa nahin sakte hain

Sirf khud ke liye jo kabhi jeete nahin hain...

Chapter

After reading your chapter in the book of my life, I always run out of chapters...

Difference

Unlike you, your memories invariably make me cry...

Faded

Faded memories of our relationship have kept you happy and their vivid counterparts have kept me alive...

Taqdeer

 Lafz-ba-Lafz yaad hai humein har lafz uska

Likha nahin khaaliq ne meri taqdeer mein saath jiska…

Happy Daughters’ Day

Divinity never leaves a home that is blessed with a daughter.

The birth of a daughter is a moment, the beauty of which must never wane in the lane of memory...

Rest in Peace Dean Jones

A repertoire brimmed with every possible shot a human mind can think of, a praiseworthy articulator while commentating and a fun-loving person.

The game of cricket and millions of its lovers will never run out of love for you...

Beauty

“My beauty owes its all to your eyes,” she used to tell him. Years later, he closed his eyes forever and his death coincided with the death of her beauty...

Death

His exit from this world changed her favourite colour from pink to black...

Haseen

Teri yaadon ki daulat mujhe hone nahin deti miskeen

Tere liye likha mera har lafz hamesha rahega haseen…

Parted

He parted ways with her after looking at her hairless scalp.

She thanked God for her malignant tumor, held his photo and her last words were, “Pity you”…

Aashnaai

Kabhi kisi khat yaa kitaab ko padhte waqt agar yaad aaye humaari

Sharminda naa hona sochkar jhoothi aashnaai ko tumhaari…

My Magnum Opus

Lab-o-rukhsar hamesha dilkash naa rahenge

Laaziim hai sirf ishq ko zinda aur jism ko pakeeza rakhna...

Happy Teachers' Day

I will never run out of gratitude for my teachers and my reverence for them will live in me till the moment I run out of life. Thank You for keeping me afloat in the ocean of knowledge...

Bereavement

If you have been able to part ways with bereavement, you were never bereaved...

The Art of Lying

 She pretends to have succeeded in forgetting him but her sternum hasn’t mastered the art of lying till now…

Yaad

 Shab ki zulmat mein, tanhaaiyaan jab bhi gherti hain,

Guzri hui zindagi yaad bahut aati hai.

Seher ki roshni mein, mehfilein jab bhi daraati hain,

Guzri hui zindagi yaad bahut aati hai.

Dhalte hue aaftaab ka deedar ye aankhein jab bhi karti hain,

Guzri hui zindagi yaad bahut aati hai.

Tumhaare khaton ko padhkar jab bhi yaadein rulaati hain,

Guzri hui zindagi yaad bahut aati hai…

World Photography Day

People change, photos don’t. This reason, alone, will invariably be enough to call the latter divine...

Aalam

 Is Aalam se us Aalam ke safar par tere nikal jaane ke baad

Dilkash na rahi nikhat baarishon ke baad...

Rest in Peace Rahat Indori Saahab

 Mustaqbil ki be-shumaar mehfilon aur mushaayaron ko rang-o-noor se mehroom kar gaye,

An-ginat shaayariyon ke jamaal ko yateem kar gaye...

Pain

If you can cry, your pain is bearable...

Vasl-e-yaar

Be-shumaar baarishon mein tanha bheegne ke baad bhi

Zikr-e-yaar jaayaz lagta hai.

Duniya se jaate hue dekhne ke baad bhi

Vasl-e-yaar mumkin lagta hai…

Roz

Har roz gham ka sabab bas yahi hota hai

ke deedar-e-yaar ka roz roz-roz nahin hota hai...

Happy Raksha Bandhan

A sister is the most beautiful personification of a blessing for her brother. Divinity always finds the safest abode in every sister-brother relationship...

Happy Friendship Day

Friendship will always be the most beautiful noun and selfless will never fail to be the most revered adjective.

Life continues to be bundled with bliss as long as friends are a part of it…

Maraasim

Har gul se nikhat ne saare maraasim tod liye,

Reh gai ansuni jab dua tujhe shifa haasil hone ke liye.

Sabab Zindagi mein na raha zinda rehna ke liye,

Na rahi zaroorat kisi bhi shama-o-jugnu ki roshni ke liye…

Happy Eid al-Adha

Bid farewell to malevolence, sacrifice indifference towards the ordeals of others and embrace benevolence...

She cried while he died

The sight of a few uncalled tears from her eyes surprised her. 1198 miles away, at the same time, his doctor pronounced him dead…

Nothing

"Did you lose anything owing to his exit from your life," her mother asked.
"Nothing," she replied with her closed, crimson-rich eyes that used to be brimmed with hazel while he was alive...

It is her

He placed her favorite strawberry cake under the cloudless sky, embellished it with candles and looked up. One of the stars gleamed and he was certain that it is her…

Future

Saath chale the jis rehguzar par kabhi hum
masarrat se wo kabhi mehroom nahin hogi
jamaal-e-hayat ka sabab thi jo kabhi
mustaqbil mein humaare wo humaare saath nahin hogi...

He proved her wrong

A perfect love story, she used to think, was a chimera.

Selfless love, she used to think, was ephemeral.

Years later, he proved her wrong…

Heaven

Baab-e-iram khula mila us jism-farosh ko
Zindagi mein nafas ka jisne kabhi sauda naa kiya...

Cry

You can't ever make me cry unless you cry...

Anyway

No one wished her on her birthday.

She smiled anyway...

One Day

You may, one day, run out of money.
The divine reward of benevolence will always be with you...

Realization

Before coming across a five-year-old girl craving for water, I had a penchant for branded clothes...

Blessed and Happy

Felt blessed to afford food.

Felt happy while buying it for others...

Rest in Peace Saroj Khan Saahiba

Be-shumaar logon ko apne be-nazeer raqs se raqs-parast banaane ke baad aaj Mallika-e-raqs ne is duniya ko alvida keh diya...
