Gauri

[Gauri @_gaurixyz]

Aa, mujhe talaash kar—
sadiyon se khud ko bula rahi hoon main.
Par phir bhi ghum hu…

[Gauri @_gaurixyz]

Ek samundar hai jo mere kabu me hai,
Ek qatra hai jo mujse sambhala nahi jata.
Ek umra hai jo bitani hai unke bagair,
Aur ek lamha hai jo mujse guzara nahi jata.

[Gauri @_gaurixyz]

Is death really a curse?
when the life I am living is a tragedy, and death seems kinder.

[Gauri @_gaurixyz]

Samundar sa gehra vo,
Main behti rehne waali dhaara.
Vayu sa zaroori vo,
Main saanson ki awaara.
Vo jalta hua angaar,
Main dheere dheere khaak.
Usmein hi khona likha hai,
Phir bhi… usi ki talaash.

[Gauri @_gaurixyz]

Khaali panne bhi tera naam jaante hain,
Ashqon ne yunhi sab kuch jataa diya.

Qalam bhi kya karegi,
Tere wujood ko hi gunaah bata diya.

[Gauri @_gaurixyz]

Ek dehleez dil ke naam,
Us gali mein hum badnaam.
Naam mera aise neelam,
Kharidne wala phir se bola tera naam.
Bik raha tha tu bhi wahi,
Har us daam mein ishq benaam.

[Gauri @_gaurixyz]

Thandi subah ke bad nikli dhoop se ho tum..

[Gauri @_gaurixyz]

Bhagwan mile jo mandir me sirf,
Vo Bhagwan kaisa?
Dhundhu bhagwan mandir me sirf,
Main insan kaisa?

[Gauri @_gaurixyz]

Mujhse bhi toh haal pucho.
Batauga tumhein kahani meri,
Yuhi ek sawal pucho.

[Gauri @_gaurixyz]

Art is only as understood as its artist,
a poem only as known as its poet.
You don’t understand the art—
only what the artist chose to leave behind.
A poem never reveals itself;
it reveals its poet.

[Gauri @_gaurixyz]

Aao khayalon ka pitara khol kar,
yun hi kuch qisse chunte hain,
phir idhar-udhar se kalam dhoondh kar,
unka dard mehez lafzon mein bunte hain.

[Gauri @_gaurixyz]

Mehez lafzon mein bayan ho gaya?
Dard bhi ek qissa ban chuka hai?
Parinda pinjre se riha ho gaya…
Aur woh pinjra uska mazaar ban chuka hai.
