My Past Haunts Me

Arrival of a new day,
An energetic wave tries to make way,
A fresh start with a smile,
Enthusiasm adds to your style.

No worries of the future,
New skills I try to garner,
A heap of possibilities arise,
That give me positive vibes.

There's always a link, I believe,
Between what you gain and what you leave,
The space between them is too narrow,
There's always something from your past that you borrow.

On the ladder of success,
I use the skills I possess,
But somewhere I find situations that daunt me,
Yes, my past haunts me.

Sudden flashes of the years gone by,
I can hear my sobs and feel tears trickling from my eyes,
The struggles I'd faced all my life,
I feel them all come alive.

People making a mockery of me,
My efforts to bring myself to normalcy,
Even after time has healed most of the scars,
Our memory leaves them as they are.

It is hard to move on,
Our minds still replay what had gone,
To the world, I may seem strong and happy,
But in reality, my past still haunts me.

KUCH NAYA SOCHTE HAIN!

Roz ki bhaag-daud mein,
Pheeke pad jaate hain sapne.
Kaheen nahi dikhti manzil,
Bas bhatakta rahe yeh mann aur dil.

Har kaam karte hain dimaag se,
Kuch faisle lete hain dil se.
Kyon naa kuch sochte hain,
Jahan dil aur dimaag, dono ki bhaavnaayein mile?

Har subah uthte hi,
Jagti hai umang nayi.
Aaj kuch naya karte hain,
Chalo, kuch naya sochte hain.

Apne sapno ko udne do,
Apni baaton mein urja jagaao.
Kayi armaan hote hain dil mein,
Apni manzil hogi haasil har haal mein.

Apni soch ko badhne do,
Kuch naya karne ki bhaavna rakho.
Parishram hi aage badhaayega tumhein,
Har soch ke saath rakho sakaaratmak bhaavnayein. © Kritika Bhatia

THE MIRROR

Whenever I see myself in the mirror,
I ask it,
"Mirror oh mirror, can you please tell me,
What's are the special qualities that you can see?

The whole world admires themselves,
When they see their reflection in you,
They feel so confident and prepared,
To face the world, they are no more scared.

But, after a certain limit,
They start getting so conscious,
Their bodily changes become prominent,
Aging gives them a hint.

Still you can't hide,
All their features,
Why, for once, can't you lie,
And let satisfaction pass by?" "I'm never an enemy,
I just reflect what I see,
I am a pool of revelations,
I have a list of people's hidden intentions.

People rehearse in front of me,
I am their audience,
They also curse me,
Because of my silence.

I am made to reflect,
The reflection is my response,
To all the people who love to hide,
The truth from themselves and just adorn." The mirror's reply was so honest,
I got lost in my thoughts,
The world looks really different from its perspective,
And truth is the only factor it supports.

MUSHKIL HAI

Zindagi mein aise bhi hain pal,
Jo dil se nahin paate nikal,
Laakh koshish kar lo,
Phir bhi woh nahi bhula paate ho.

Log kehte hain,
Zindagi mein hum bahut sehte hain,
Kuch cheezein todte dil hain,
Unhein bhulana mushkil hai.

Bina parishram ke,
Hum kuch bhi paa nahin sakte,
Haar jaaye kismat se,
Magar woh koshish hum bhula nahin sakte.

Har samay yeh sochkar,
Dil mein udaasi aati hai bhar,
Samajh lo ki beeta waqt kal ka kaatil hai,
Usse dil se nikalna mushkil hai.

Kal se kal ko mat ujadna,
Abhi bahut kuch baaki hai savaarna,
Door apni manzil hai,
Iss manzil ki raah ko paar karna mushkil hai. © Kritika Bhatia

LOVE AND CARE

Something seldom found,
Something very rare,
This world is now,
Bereft love and care.

There's no pardon for sins,
Or mercy on the poor,
With a bag full of stolen property,
People go on a tour.

Their share they never got,
They've got tired of protesting,
They have been struck by poverty,
While the rich are enjoying.

The old are abandoned,
Into age - care,
They don't complain much,
But dear, that's unfair.

They've brought you up,
With efforts and sacrifice,
Why don't you let them,
Receive the respect and ignore differences that arise?

Love all you have,
Care for their worth,
Once you've lost them,
You will realise their dearth.

Realise before it's too late,
The clock is ticking,
Have some mercy and be thankful,
Those are the best qualities one can ever bring.

Something seldom found,
Something very rare,
This world is now,
Bereft love and care.

Main Unn Jaisi Kyon Nahin

Sabki apni khoobi hai,
Sab mein ek khoobsurati hai,
Kuch jhalakte hain chehre se,
Aur kuch log kalakar hain.

Har kisi ko Bhagwan ne,
Banaya hai khaas,
Main unn jaisi kyon nahin,
Yeh sochkar na hona udaas.

Saari ungliyan ek samaan nahin,
Sabki soch alag hai,
Kuch bachpan se hi ameer hain,
Aur kuch logo ki acchi taqdeer hai.

Tulna kabhi na karna kisi se,
Tum bhi ho kaabil,
Kuch cheezein usse na mili ho,
Jo tum kar paate ho saralta se haasil.

Kuch log apaahij hain,
Kuch log padh nahin sakte,
Sabke paas sab hokar bhi,
Parivar toh hai hi nahin.

Dhanyawad karo uss Vidhata ka,
Ki Ussne tumhein sab kuch diya,
Garv hona chahiye tumhein iss baat par ki,
Tum unn jaisi ho nahin!

Masoomiyat

Daudte waqt ke saath,
Hum toh muqabla karte rahe,
Na jaane kitni saari cheezein,
Kurbaan kar baithe.

Samaaj ke saath,
Kandhe milana,
Humein sikhaya jaata hai,
Aur badti umar ke saath usse nibhaya jaata hai.

Ek chhote se bacche se,
Uski masoomiyat cheen ni nahi chahiye,
Woh dheere se seekh jaayega,
Kaise samaaj mein rehna chahiye.

Log kehte hain,
Ki bacche hain Bhagwan ka roop,
Unki nazron mein yeh duniya,
Hai sundar, bhale hi sach mein ho woh  kurup.

Bachpan ki masoomiyat,
Hai ek anmol ratan,
Jee bhar ke jee lene do,
Hoshiyar toh woh banega hi jab rakhega iss duniya mein kadam.

Waqt do usse,
Na ban jaana bojh uss par,
Iss bojh ko uthate - uthate,
Na kho baithe woh masoomiyat apne bachpan mein.

Woh Zindagi Hi Kya!

Woh parishram hi kya,
Jisme asafalta na ho,
Woh barf hi kya,
Jo pighalta na ho.

Woh aag hi kya,
Jo jalkar bujhta na ho,
Woh dard hi kya,
Jiska marham milta na ho.

Woh sooraj hi kya,
Jo roshan na karta ho,
Woh zindagi hi kya,
Jo rulaati na ho.

Har samay, har pal,
Saamanya nahin hota,
Dukhi hone ke kaaran,
Tu aane waali khushi ko kyon hai rokta?

Kyon tu hai pareshan,
Kyon kho baitha hai hausla,
Yeh waqt hai, guzar jaayega,
Har sthiti ko tu nahin haraa paayega.

Magar har baar muskurakar,
Agar tune kiya zindagi ka saamna,
Toh koi bhi adchan,
Tujhe safal hone se nahin rok sakega.

Woh kaamyaabi hi kya,
Jisme eershya na ho,
Woh raah hi kya,
Jiski disha na ho.

Woh vijay hi kya,
Jisme jung na ho,
Woh indradhanush hi kya,
Jisme saat rang na ho.

Woh jugnu hi kya,
Jo raat mein chamakta na ho,
Woh zindagi hi kya,
Jo har waqt sabak sikhati na ho.

हमारी ख्वाहिशें

हमारी सोच,
हमें अपनी मंज़िल तक पहुंचाती है।
अगर सोच अच्छी हो,
तो मंज़िल मिल जाती है।

हर कोई इस दुनिया को,
अलग नज़रिए से देखता है।
कामयाब हर कोई बनना चाहता है,
हम कभी - कभी अपने आप से ज़्यादा ही उम्मीद करते हैं।

पैर उतने ही फैलाने चाहिए,
जितनी चादर हो।
यह मुहावरा प्रसिद्ध है,
और हमारी ख्वाहिशों के लिए बराबर है।

हम बहुत ऊंची सोच रखते हैं,
हमारी पहुंच उतनी तो है नहीं,
फिर भी अपनी सोच को कायम रखते हुए,
हम कुछ ज़्यादा ही मांगते हैं।

यह ख्वाहिशें हैं ही ऐसी,
चैन से सोने नहीं देती,
हर दम सताती है,
जब भी सपनों में आती है।

WITH LOVE, MAA

Mom was rushing through the aisle,
Tensed and worried,
She had to pack some things,
At the last minute, she hurried.

I bid her adieu,
For her outing with friends,
It was a blast that she'd have,
With nobody to interfere till the end.

She ensured cleanliness,
She couldn't ignore her responsibilities,
After all she was a wife,
And also a mother to 2 "matured" babies.

I saw a note by the bed,
It had something scribbled on it,
I opened it out of curiosity,
It was Mom's letter that contained duties to be completed. "Dear Aarav,
I'm out for a week,
But my responsibilities aren't,
Hence, to complete them, a little help I would seek.

While I'm away, do the dishes please,
Tell Dad to take his pills,
Also remind him,
To pay all the pending bills.

Take care of the house,
Do not make things untidy,
Eat your food on time,
And don't remain hungry.

Don't worry about my health,
I'm not too far,
I'll be with you all soon,
With love, Maa." I planned a surprise,
Since her birthday was near,
All the preparation was almost done,
When the phone buzzed, I burst to tears.

I got the information,
That a car was found destroyed,
I informed Dad immediately,
And we rushed to the highway teary - eyed.

She was declared dead,
Her face was smashed,
She lost the glow she once had,
Her car had completely crashed.

Till date we are unable to,
Move on with time,
Life seems still and stagnant,
Without your love, Maa, nothing is fine.

बीते लम्हे (गाना)

यह सारे लम्हे जो हम,
साथ में गुजारते हैं,
कब यादें बन जाते हैं,
इसका कभी भी अंदाज़ा नहीं लगा पाते हैं। वक़्त दौड़ता है,
रास्ते मोड़ता है,
हम हो जाए परे,
मगर याद रहेंगे सदा वह बीते लम्हे। कुछ लम्हों में,
मुस्कुराहट है,
तो कहीं,
चीखते हुए रोने की आहट है। वक़्त दौड़ता है,
रास्ते मोड़ता है,
हम हो जाए परे,
मगर याद रहेंगे सदा वह बीते लम्हे। घाव भरते हैं,
मगर यादों में फिर जलते हैं,
कुछ बातें हम भुला न सके,
रोना नहीं चाहते थे मगर खुद को रुका न सके। वक़्त दौड़ता है,
रास्ते मोड़ता है,
हम हो जाए परे,
मगर याद रहेंगे सदा वह बीते लम्हे। खुशियों का जश्न याद है,
उनमें अलग सी दाद है,
एक दूसरे की अहमियत का एहसास है,
साथ निभाने के वचन अब बन गए इतिहास है। वक़्त दौड़ता है,
रास्ते मोड़ता है,
हम हो जाए परे,
मगर याद रहेंगे सदा वह बीते लम्हे। © कृतिका भाटिया

Sangharsh: Safalta Ki Neev

Kehte hain ki koshish karne waale,
Haar nahi maante,
Unhe khud par hai bharosa,
Ki unhein zaroor milegi safalta.

Sangharsh se hi,
Safal hota hai aadmi,
Bina Sangharsh ke,
Koi bhi aage nahin badh sake.

Har koi apni kahaani,
Duniya ko bataana chahegi,
Isse paane ka koi aasaan rasta nahin,
Har kisi ko milegi safalta kabhi na kabhi.

Der se hi sahi,
Kabhi himmat haarna nahin,
Muqabala karte raho har baadha ka,
Yaad rakhna, ki sangharsh ke har kadam mein chhupi hai safalta.

Utaar - chadaav toh hote rahenge,
Kaamyaabi ke safar mein,
Sangharsh karne ke baad hi safalta prapt hogi,
Kyonki sangharsh karne waalon ki kabhi haar nahi hoti.

Hurray! Christmas Is Here!

Winters settle in,
Chilling winds make us shiver,
As the month of December ends,
With joy we say, "Hurray! Christmas is here!" Such a peaceful festival,
Lights and Carols all over the place,
As we head onto the streets,
We see people with a smile on their face.

Greetings to one and all,
Santa comes on his sleigh,
Distributing gifts and blessings,
In the snow, people love to play.

The Christmas tree is decorated,
With lights and other material,
Cakes are baked along with other confectionery,
Houses decorated with happiness that's perennial.

All the wishes are fulfilled,
New Year also rings the bell,
Double celebrations happen,
As people have many stories to tell.

My grandparents' anniversary,
As well as my friend's birthday,
Fall on this day,
So, for me, it's always an occasion filled with excitement and love anyway.

Masquerade

Angels still exist,
But in different forms,
Whenever you need them the most,
They'll be present during even hail or storm.

It's their duty to save lives,
Or even make someone lucky,
They have masquerades on their faces,
To hide their identity.

It can be in any form,
An angel does not require gender,
It is not necessary for them to be similar,
It can be an animal or any creature.

Angels are messengers,
Of God and all the ancestors,
They bless us in different ways,
They work secretly, that is why they wear masquerades.
