khayal - part 1

Khamoshiyon mein doobein alfaaz hai

Behke hue se kuch saaz hai

Mausam mein aaj kuch khaas hai,

 bekabu se hamare  jazbat hai

ji chahta he tumko chura le tumhi se,

majboor magar halaat hai

khayal...

Shikayaton ka silsila hai

Har zubaan pe bas gila hai

Bewajah umeed ka sila hai

Ranjisho ko chor kar

Rishton ke rang aayo bikharein

Afsos mein kahin kat na jaye

Yeh waqt jo mila hai

Fursat

Fursat ki talaash badi mehngi hai
Fursat ke siwa sab kuch chheen leti hai
Suno behti hawa halke se Jo kehti hai
Haathon ki siahi suqoon nahi deti hai
Waqt ki raftar fiza badal deti hai
Mile Jo lamhe unhe jee lo jee bhar ke
Kya khabar zindagi aisa mauka phir kab deti hai

Be positive!

Be positive. 

How many times have you heard this, read about it, been advised about it, and contemplated it? Probably a thousand times; is it good enough? NO

The point is how many times you have BELIEVED it, that is the KEY.

If the universe works on the law of attraction then it would be worth a try don’t you think?

We all live in tough times.  It was prophesied long before mankind came into existence that there will be a time when being positive will be hardest thing to do. Not because it is tough, but because it has long term returns. Somewhere along the journey we got so consumed by returns that we forgot the investments. You see returns are directly proportional to investments until a catastrophe changes that (any banker would vouch for it) the only difference about the investments in our existence is that it is governed by the spirit above and he does not have loopholes in its rules, they are universal.

Yet we find excuses to investment and are obsessed with returns.

How about an investment in positivity?

Consider this.  

What has thinking negative got us, more pessimism, idolatry, inaction, procrastination, resentment, frustration, etc? On the contrary thinking positive will give us hope, motivate you into dreams, action, perseverance, being pleasant, happy, and cheerful. Your feelings will then transcend into reality. Again, you could say what if it does not help. My question is what if it does. You have to be relentless, when you have spent years thinking negative, why give up on positivity in a day. Be positive for years and then tell me it does not work, are you up for the challenge?

If emotions are contagious then just maybe our positivity will cause the ripple effect to change the course of things in the world now that would be something isn’t it?

Channelize your expectations!

Expectations beget disappointments.

Really then, most often than not, disappointments are results of our expectations. There can be expectations from circumstances, people and things. 

This is good news! Something’s are in our control after-all!

Trouble starts when disappointments are accompanied by reactions. Reactions we know are always in our control.

Be careful, reactions automatically put you in the wrong. 

They lose their purpose because only the existing can be refuted, amongst conventional relations; circumstances, people and things have frivolous correlations. Hence consideration is non-existent. In those circumstances especially, expectations are futile. The sure shot way to negativity. It is a hidden ditch you have to avoid like plague. 

Only then will you be able to differentiate between the real and the surreal and transcend into the joyous existence where all the expectations you have will be from the spirit above, where every expectation of yours will be honored in abundance. Live better, live free that is the only way to be!

Waqt

Waqt har waqt nahi rehta
Waqt ka itna imtehaan na lo
Bewaqt kisi ki jaan na lo
Bewajah waqt se hairan na ho
Bematlab waqt se anjaan na raho
Yeh waqt guzar gaya to phir na aayega
Bina waqt ke kahin phir pareshaan na ho

You were busy...

Sometimes in life, we are so busy that life slips away from us. We may choose to seem busy or be really busy, the bottom line is…we take out time for the things that we really want to do and important to us no matter how busy we are.

However, sometimes while being busy we lose out on something very precious, sometimes life give us second chance to rectify things, alternatively, sometimes it gets too busy to consider!

You were busy…

I needed to talk but my friend, you were busy
A little advice to take stalk, you were busy
I did not disturb, you were busy
I did not want to interfere, you were busy
I thought I’d ask you if you had time but how could I, you were busy
I was looking for you before I closed my eyes, you were busy
I had too I could not bear the pain anymore, but you were busy
They took my body by your window, you were busy
You could see the pyre burning but you were busy
At last you got the news and your came running to the ashes
You said sorry you were busy
You voice echoed amidst the remains and it rained
The universe was crying that you were sorry you were busy
It's alright I understand you were busy!
