Khamoshi

Sun-na Tabhi chahati hai duniya,
Jab zuban khamoshi chahati hai.
Ajeeb si is reet ko ab aur kya kahein
Nakab pehne hue ek umr nikal jaati hai

Kabhi jab kehna chahta hoon kuch
Kisi humzuban ki talash reh jaati hai
Lafzon ke toofani bahav ko
Khamoshi ki deewar rok jaati hai

Kuch pal aur sahi keh kar chup reh jaata hoon
Dafn ho jaata hai Ek aur khayal kahin seene mein
Aur akele mein kahin waqt nikal jaata hai
Uski kabr talashte shamshan-e-seene mein

Kuch wahi khamosh palon ko jee raha hoon aaj
Par duniya to duniya hai aaj bhi wohi

Sun-na Tabhi chahati hai duniya,
Jab zuban khamoshi chahati hai.

To Define which does not exist...

The world we live in defines itself in the best possible manner as a place, where a someone can kill his best friend for a gallon of water in times, when it becomes the most valuable thing to survive. The Basic survival instinct in us, provokes us to be selfish in tough times.

Deb, a very dear friend of mine and I were on a usual talk when he said .. "What do you think is Hell?" A place where people can kill people for silly reasons, where everyone is selfish, thinking only of themselves and nothing else. Where people are chasing everything that they think they need but they dont have.. Sounds familiar? Welcome bro.. " We are being punished, this is hell".. And we will come back again and again..

Today I feel, Deb you are right, where we live now is hell.. We all are dead men, may not be physically, but somewhere deep within us our conscience, is dead or may be a part of it.
