Tales of an immortal

 The taste was exquisite bringing old memories in mind, 

when food was everything for which humanity strived.

Nature provided people full stomachs and some more,

for fruits were in abundance and in plenty for all.


The battle for survival forced the humans to adopt,

from throwing stones to learning to play with rocks.

Even they had excess to eat from each kill they got,

Foraging and hunting they began to bound at last.


Ores the earth provided and the mastery of light,

the wild beginning to look different every night. 

Man and machine were mating together in one,

as engines would bring closer the world to fun.


Exploring the world on ships travelling around,

connecting cultures so the treasures were found.

Instead of being together around a small fire,

differences born hid upon walls getting higher.


Where once there was aplenty it wasn't enough,

as all kept it within and keeping empty the trough.

Where stones were shared now gold were saved,

tools became weapons to protect with the braved.


I had survived this universe through endless time,

walking together but feeling loneliness still fine. 

I have seen the world change but not be better,

my friends were bit simple but fun was greater.

A love affair of a nation divided in two

सरहदों में आशिक़ी है ।

 कागज़ों में ज़िन्दगी है ।। 

सफर अधूरा रह गया क्यों । 

यारी हमारी टूट गयी क्यों ।। 


सपने तो हमारे एक से थे ।  

जश्न तो साथ मनाने थे ।।  

लकीरो ने कर दिया अलग सा ।  

खून से सनी एक दीवार सा ।।  


परिवार तो एक हमारा ।  

रिश्ते भी पुराना हमारा ।। 

नफरत का नाता कैसे ।  

चाकू बन्दुक ही कैसे ।।  


समय आगे ही बढ़ता जाये  ।

दूरियाँ भी बस बढ़ती जाये ।।   

नाता ना अब रहा कुछ । 

याद भी ना बची कुछ ।।  


देश अब बिखर गया ना । 

साथी भी अब बिछड़ा ना ।। 

वापिस लौटा दो वो लम्हे ।

प्यार से वो बीते जो लम्हे ।।


मजबूर है वो आम लोग ।

कश्मीर के जो है सब लोग ।।

बात है सबने समझने की ।

हम सब को है अपनाने की ।।  


नफरत की हो जंग ख़तम ।

जज़्बाती हर एहसास ख़तम ।। 

कर ले आज हम फैसला ।

दुरी को मिटने का फैसला।।  


फिर से साथ रहेंगे सब । 

ऐतबार करेंगे हम सब ।।

देश हमारा फिर एक होगा ।

मुश्किल में साथ हमारा होगा ।।

First limerick

My first limerick and it was a teaching moment. Trying to teach someone about it helped me create one of my own. 

"

Muskan has no money 

But she is so funny

She needs some work

or we call her dork

for being a lot puny

Learning from the world

Moon is always on my side,
hence I can face in the tide.
Sun follows me whole day,
bringing hope in every day.

Rain  keeps falling all night,
making me think I am alright.
Wind hammers away at will,
letting me know no pain is still.

Ocean reminds us of peace,
calling joy of travel a lease.
Forests are a place to be lost,
to finding myself at any cost

Sand always slips from hand,
so worry shouldn't look grand.
Stone can be just unbreakable,
my will too shall become noble.

Iron has been bent with fire,
life's lesson is to forgo desire.
Gold is for the fortunate rich,
but none makes life a beach.

Kuch dur saath chalo

कुछ दूर साथ चलो
तुम आज मेरे साथ। ..

 मिलने आयी हो तुम
आज पहली बार।
चलने साथ ज़िन्दगी
के लम्हे कुछ और। 

कुछ दूर साथ चलो
तुम आज मेरे साथ। ..

बातें हुई हमारी की
हो पुरानी पहचान।
साथ बैठे बिता समय
लेकर नई रफ़्तार।

कुछ दूर साथ चलो
तुम आज मेरे साथ। ..

इंतज़ार बहुत किया था
पाने तुम्हारा हाथ।
छोड़कर जाने का मन
नहीं मेरा आज।

कुछ दूर साथ चलो
तुम आज मेरे साथ। ..

अँधेरा बता रहा है
वक़्त नहीं अब और।
जाने वाले कदम कुछ
रुख के जाना बस।

 कुछ दूर साथ चलो
तुम आज मेरे साथ। ..

लौट के आना तुम
फिर मेरी ओर। 
दोबारा न हो पाएगा  
इंतज़ार फिर और। 

 कुछ दूर साथ चलो 
तुम हमेशा मेरे साथ। ..
