Few lines for my friend Arun

I have had the pleasure of knowing a human being called Arun P (Actually P denotes a lot of things, can be used to abuse him and also praise him, but lets be nice and hence let P stand for "person")

Well truly speaking, Arun is a dear friend of mine, and I have been trying to be good to him since I had always had the pleasure of harassing him to no extent. And now, he is eagerly looking forward to one of the most anxiously-awaited moments in his life. Well I do not know how to put this dramatically, but in very simplisitc terms, he would be subjecting himself to be an icon for the long-standing institution of human bonding ceremonized by the society of like-minded people or similarly-minded people or plainly-minded people; the process also being commonly referred to by the terms such as marriage, wedding, etc etc.

Hence, I thought of being a nice person and take the trouble of writing some good lines about him. If Arun P, you are reading this, please take this at face value (or rather, GUI-value) thanks again and wishing you the very best in life...

Lemme start in our rashtrabhasha...

Dost aise bhi kam hee bana paayein hum is duniya mein saari
Ki ghudgarz hee zamaana saara, kahaan aisa koi jiski pasand aaye yaari
Lekin uparwaala bhi nikla meherbaan, kuch kari usne bhi duniyadaari
tumhe bheja yahaan, dikhayi usne yun apni kalakaari


Now in English (praising you)

If not for you my friend, I would have lost hope in a few things in life
Fortune, good will and charisma would have all ended in a big strife
But as luck would have it, you are here to add more zest to our life
And yes, you are fortunate enough to get a loving and beautiful wife

Another brainwave

I am glad, I have not had to wait for another year to put in my next post. I have been able to put in some more lines.
I do not know why I do pen in these lines, but which is why I try to discover myself through Rex-Verso. But, let me put in a few lines which came up when I was mailing some of my friends....

Let me start off with.......I was trying to explain something to my friend, and was quite successful in confusing him.

Kuch baaton ko na samajhne mein hee samajhdaari hai
Agar usse samajh jaao to tumhaari hoshiyaari hai
Samajhaane mein to hum bhi shayaad nakaam rahein
Lekin tum jaise hoshiyaar ko ek ishaara hee kaafi hai

Then, the focus was on a person who has recently has got one of the "w"s that men crave for - wine, wealth, women, well-being.....

Aye mere dost, aaj tum zindagi kee kitab ke us panne par ho
jahaan se yeh kitaab saath mein padhi jaayegi
us apsara ke saath jiski kismat ab aage se
tumhaare kismat ke saath hee jud jaayegi

The next 4 lines are for people who are in the "search" mode for someone...

hum me se bahut to abhi tak
usi panne kee raah dekhe taka-tak
kee shayad kismet mein likha ho kabhi
kee yehi panna aa jayen yun yaka-yak

To top it all, the next one is for a very sweet couple I know who have been an inspirationto many....

Kuch dost to is panne par pahunche badi jatan se
likh liya hai itihaas, ab aage bade is prayan se
kee aage har panne par likhenge saath saath hamesha
apni zindagi, pyaar ke shahee aur bharose ke kalam se

Now, guess I have run out of ideas to continue on this thread of communication. But to display some modesty, I had to put in a few lines to a friend of mine who had some misconceptions about me. I am no poet, to even call these poetry would be a shame. These are mere outpourings of confused mind, puzzled and muddled by the complexities around in this world.

Aapki baaton ne kuch aise kee hai hosla afzaayi
Ki bayaan karen kya aage, sharam to badi hame aayi
In lafzon ko poetry ka naam na dein mohatarma
Duniya humme bhi bana degi ek shayar nikamma

Another brainwave for penning a few lines

As I say again, it has been a long time since I wrote something here. Today felt like posting a few lines here which I had written for some of my closest friends......

Kabhi intezaar bhi mein hai kuch aisa mazza,
Shayad unke deedar kee yahi hai sazza
Deedar na de, lekin apni yaadon ke khanjar se
Mar na de hame yun, yahi hai iltezza

Kuch paakar kuch khone mein dard mahsoos hota hai,
Shaayad dard ko paakar dil mehfooz hota hai
Lekin jo nahi mila ho kabhi bhi, kaheen bhi
Usse khona to poora namumkin hee hota hai

Tum pyaar se jab gussa karte ho agar,
Shayad hamari bhool hee sahi, magar,
Gusse mein jo pyaar chalakta hai,
Woh mazza to sharaab mein bhi nahi dikhta kidhar

Tumhe yun saath dekh kar aisa laga,
Shayad isi ko khushi kehte hain,
Agar yahi khushi hai to chaahat hai hamaari,
Kee kushi se kate saari zindagi tumhaari

Would want to write a few more lines, waiting for more inspiration...
