Kitni jaldi hoti hai na zindagi ko,
agay barhnay ki, qadam barhanay ki,
larkharati bhi nae, rukti bhi nae,
koi sathi gir jaey to puchti bhi nahi,
kitni tezi se guzarta hai ye waqt na?
Aj hum yahan, kal...kal bhi to a hi gaya!!
Abi to tum mere pas thay,
tumhara hath mere kandhay par,
qadm mere qadmon ke sath,
ye achanak kidhar gaey ho?
Kya tum nay ek baar bhi na murr ker daikha?
Wo yadain, wo baatain,
sub bhool gaey?
Dekha! Zindagi lay gai na tumhain,
torr gai na waaday,
chhor gai na sapnay.
Bas dhundli si roshni hai,
dhundli si rahguzar,
par yadain bohat roshan,
suraj ki tarah,
inhi ki tapish say to zinda hun,
k ye yadain hain us waqt ki,
jab main main tha,
tum tum thay,
ab kya hai?
Tum kahan ho may kahan hun?
Ek ajeeb sa rishta hai,
iss samandar k hotay huay bhi,
ek ajeeb si dori hai,
jo mujh ko tum se joray hai,
ye yadain hain humari,
anmit, anginat.
Bas!
Mujhe pta hai,
tum bhoolay nahin mujhko abhi,
thora to waqt lagta hai,
subah ko dhalnay may,
andhaira honay may,
tab tak,
yahi yadain apne pass rakhna,
ke yahi humara rishta hain,
phir jab bhulne lago,
mujhko aur in yaadon ko,
uss waqt ko,
to ek cheez yad rakhna,
iss dunya may kuch log hain,
jo agay barhtay nahin hain,
chaltay nahin hain,
bhultay nahin hain,
aur yad rakhna k muje bhi,
agay barhna nahin ata, bhulna nahin ata,
ke tumhari yadain hain,
anmit, anmol.

i found this in a notebook i used to write stuff in, actually i still do sometimes when i feel like using a pen. Now that i read this, i dont think i like it at all, except for the last stanza or part or watever its called. And i like the last part because i think its true for me. And by the way, there was no date on this, but i think its not older than 2 years at max.

ahem, wow long one huh. hm can i be a bit critical on this one? surely you wont mind that right ;)

these lines are quite well written,
the imagery of suraj, the connection b/w suraj and yadain is great
overall i thought it sounded a bit cliched :$
esp the part you mentioned is ur favorite :$
Lol, yeah i know its cliched, but then i'm cliched as well :P
and on a serious note dont be shy, i really dont mind if you'd be critical. Waisay i know it wasn't good but i had to put it on i dont why i felt like it. But you know things might get better someday and i'd be like faiz lol... Maybe not
faiz? eerr used to be my fav poet until now :p
lol, ya now that wud be some combination, a great football player cum poet :D
Until recently? Why? I think he's one of the best poets, alongwith iqbal, ghalib though i haven't read poetry alot...i've not even read these poets alot, but i like their style of poetry...have you read "hum daikhain gay"? Its by faiz i think. Its one of the greatest pieces of revolutionary poetry ever. Its beautiful.
lol. omG i thought i wont have to right the "obvious" girl trait thingie.
until recently i meant coz u sed you might be like faiz some day...there goes my joke down the drain
ya that ghazal is by faiz and sung by iqbal bano, whenever i listen to it, it gives my goosebumps. and most of the poetry is sung by tina sani, jo bhi faiz ka qalam hai.
Haha...now i can say i intentionally meant to spoil your joke..lol..waisay really it gives me goosebumps too, it somehow gives me hope...thats why i like faiz, even if its not in the voice of iqbal bano, it still sounds so full of feeling.
