Main Kyun Likhta Hun?

मैं क्यूँ लिखता हूँ ? (Mein Kyun Likhta Hun?)

I often asked this question to myself that why I write when I don't have many readers?  Not only on blog but in real life also those who know I write stories/poem never complain when I don't write. When I keep things to myself ? When I pour untold emotions in my writing no one ever noticed but I have no regrets and I have some other reasons to write which I better keep to myself. Here just sharing questions which comes in my mind in form of a Hindi poem.  


जब कोई पढ़ता नहीं,
किसी बात का दुनिया पर असर पड़ता नहीं,
किसी का दिल सिसकता नहीं,
कोई भी कभी तड़पता नहीं,
तो फिर मैं क्यूँ लिखता हूँ ?
Jab Koi Padta Nahin,
Kisi Baat Ka Duniya Par Asar Padta Nahin,
Kisi Ka Dil Sisakta Nahin,
Koi Bhi Kabhi Tadapta Nahin,
To Phir Mein Kyun Likhta Hun?

किसी को भी मेरी बात पर जब हसीं आती नहीं,
कोई बात भी तो मेरी नई सोच जगती नहीं,
चुपके से दिल धड़काती नहीं,
कोई आग भड़काती नहीं,
तो फिर मैं क्यूँ लिखता हूँ ?
Kisi Ko Meri Baat Par Jab Hasin Aati Nahin,
Koi Baat Bhi To Meri Nayee Soch Jagati Nahin,
Chupke Se Dil Dhadkati Nahin,
Koi Aag Bhadkati Nahin,
To Phir Mein Kyun Likhta Hun?

किसी को भी तो इन्तिज़ार नहीं, 
कोई नफ़रत, शिक़ायत या प्यार नहीं,
बहुत कुछ कह तो देता हूँ,
पर समझने को कोई तैयार नहीं,
तो फिर मैं क्यूँ लिखता हूँ ?
तो फिर मैं क्यूँ लिखता हूँ ?
Kisi Ko Bhi To Intizaar Nahin,
Koi Nafrat, Shikayat Ya Pyaar Nahin,
Bahut Kuch Keh To Deta Hun,
Par Samajhne Ko Koi Tayyar Nahin,
To Phir Mein Kyun Likhta Hun?
To Phir Mein Kyun Likhta Hun?

Meri Keemat Revisited

Meri Keemat Revisited ( My Value)


This is the first poem I shared on this blog on 30th August 2012. I don't know why by I felt sharing it today. Maybe because I have more readers now than I have on those days. It's a bilingual poem expressing feelings of poet who is feeling dejected as world didn't value him even when he was of the character set by society as the superior. Like today then also I didn't care what others think but its just expressions of a sad person. Experienced earned in the course of time has helped it made better. 




मेरी कीमत अगर पूछो ज़माने के बाज़ारों में,
तेरी क़दमों की खाक भी बिकेगी मुझसे बेहतर ही।  
Meri Keemat Agar Pucho Zamane Ke Bazaron Mein,
Teri Kadmon Ki Khaak Bhi Bikegi Mujhse Behtar Hi.

If you ask my value in markets of the world,
Dust of your foot better than me will be sold.

भलाई, सच्चाई ,प्यार का कोई मोल क्या होगा,
यह वोह दौलत है जो रख्खें हैं कुछ मुझसे ही। 
Bhalai,Sachchai,Pyaar Ka Koi Mol Kya Hoga,
Ye Wo Daulat Hai Jo Rakhkhein Hain Kuch Mujhse Hi. 

Goodness,truthfulness,love,faithfulness,doesn't hold any value,
These are things few like me can value.

हमें रुस्वाइयाँ प्यारी ,हमें धिक्कार से क्या ग़म,
ख़ुश हैं हासिल करके बस तन्हाईयाँ ही। 
Hamein Ruswaiyan Pyaari, Hamein Dhikkar Se Kya Gham,
Khush Hain Hasil Karke Bas Tanhaiyan Hi.

Ignorance is dear to us,rudeness we don't care,
Just happy with the loneliness adhere.

अश्क छलका कर भी आखिर क्या करें हासिल,
न ग़म आये नज़र तो बस रोलेतें हैं दिल में ही। 
Ashq Chalka Kar Bhi Aakhir Kya Karein Hasil,
Na Gham Aaye Nazar To Bas Rolete Hai Dil Mein Hi.

What to get by shedding tears,
Without showing pain make lone weeping deer.

इबादत उस खुदा की अब मुझसे नहीं होती,
जो बस देखा किये है सब मुझसे छिनते ही। 
Ibadat Us Khuda Ki Ab Mujhse Nahin Hoti,
Jo Bas Dekha Kiye Hai Sab Mujhse Chinte Hi.

I can't pray to that God any more,
Who has seen me lose every thing dearly store.

'सिफ़र' का मोल करना हो तो कुछ ऐसी नज़र लाओ,
देख सकती हो जो दुनिया में मोहब्बत भी, शराफत भी।
'Cifar' Ka Mol Karna Ho To Kuch Aisi Nazar Lao,
Dekh Sakti Ho Jo Duniya Mein Sharafat Bhi,Mohabbat Bhi.

'Cifar' can be value by only those pair of eyes,
Which can sight in the world love,honesty and wise.
