कारवाँ गुज़र गया------------
स्वप्न झरे फूल से ,मीत चुभे शूल से ,लुट गये सिंगार सभी बाग़ के बबूल से ,और हम खड़ेखड़े बहार देखते रहे।कारवाँ गुज़र गया , गुबार देखते रहे !
नींद भी खुली न थी कि हाय धूप ढल गई ,पाँव जब तलक उठे कि ज़िन्दगी फिसल गई ,पातपात झर गये कि शाख़शाख़ जल गई ,चाह तो निकल सकी न , पर उमर निकल गई ,गीत अश्क बन गए ,छंद हो दफन गए ,साथ के सभी दिऐ धुआँधुआँ पहन गये ,और हम झुकेझुके ,मोड़ पर रुकेरुकेउम्र के चढ़ाव का उतार देखते रहे।कारवाँ गुज़र गया , गुबार देखते रहे।
क्या शबाब था कि फूलफूल प्यार कर उठा ,क्या कमाल था कि देख आइना सिहर उठा,इस तरफ़ ज़मीन और आस्मां उधर उठा,थाम कर जिगर उठा कि जो मिला नज़र उठा ,एक दिन मगर यहाँ ,ऐसी कुछ हवा चली ,लुट गयी कलीकली कि घुट गयी गलीगली ,और हम लुटेलुटे ,वक्त से पिटेपिटे ,साँस की शराब का खुमार देखते रहे।कारवाँ गुज़र गया , गुबार देखते रहे।
हाथ थे मिले कि जुल्फ चाँद की सँवार दूँ ,होठ थे खुले कि हर बहार को पुकार दूँ ,दर्द था दिया गया कि हर दुखी को प्यार दूँ ,और साँस यूँ कि स्वर्ग भूमी पर उतार दूँ ,हो सका न कुछ मगर ,शाम बन गई सहर ,वो उठी लहर कि ढह गये किले बिखरबिखर ,और हम डरेडरे ,नीर नैन में भरे ,ओढ़कर कफ़न पड़े, मज़ार देखते रहे।कारवाँ गुज़र गया , गुबार देखते रहे !
माँग भर चली कि एक , जब नई नई किरन ,ढोलकें धुमुक उठीं , ठुमक उठे चरनचरन ,शोर मच गया कि लो चली दुल्हन , चली दुल्हन ,गाँव सब उमड़ पड़ा , बहक उठे नयननयन ,पर तभी ज़हर भरी ,गाज एक वो गिरी ,पुँछ गया सिंदूर तारतार हुई चूनरी ,और हम अजानसे ,दूर के मकान से ,पालकी लिये हुए कहार देखते रहे।कारवाँ गुज़र गया , गुबार देखते रहे।
स्वप्न झरे फूल से ,मीत चुभे शूल से ,लुट गये सिंगार सभी बाग़ के बबूल से ,और हम खड़ेखड़े बहार देखते रहे।कारवाँ गुज़र गया , गुबार देखते रहे !

English Script:
Swapna-jhare phool se,Meet-chubhe shool se,Lut gaye singaar sabhi baag ke babool se,Aur hum khade-khade bahaar dekhte rahe,Karvan guzar gaya, Gubar dekhte rahe.
Neend bhi khuli na thi ki hai dhoop dhal gayi,Paon jab talak uthe ki zindagi fisal gayi,Paat-paat jhar gaye ki shaakh-shaakh jal gayi,Chah to nikal saki na par umar nikal gayi. par umar nikal gayiGeet ashk ban gaye,swapna ho dafan gaye,Saath ke sabhi diye dhuan-dhuan pehen gaye,Aur hum jhuke-jhuke,Mod par ruke-ruke,Umar ke chadhaav ka utaar dekhte rahe,Karvan guzar gaya, Gubar dekhte rahe!
Kya shabaab tha ki phool-phool pyar kar utha,Kya kamaal tha ki dekh aina sihar utha,Is taraf zameen aur asmaan udhar utha,Thaam kar jigar utha ki jo mila nazar utha,Ek din magar Yahan,Aisee kuchh hawa chali,Lut gayi kali-kali ki ghut gayi gali-gali,Aur hum lute-lute,Waqt se pite-pite,saans ki sharaab ka khumaar dekhte rahe,Karvan guzar gaya, Gubar dekhte rahe!
Haath the mile ki zulf chaand ki sanwaar doon,Honth the khule ki har bahaar ko pukaar doon,Dard tha diya gaya ki har dukhi ko pyar doon,Aur saans yoon ki swarg bhoomi par utaar doon,Ho saka na kuchh magar,Shaam ban gayi seher,Woh uthi lehar ki dheh gaye kile bikhar-bikhar,Aur ham dare-dare,Neer nayan mein bhare,Odh-kar kafan pade mazaar dekhte rahe,Karvan guzar gaya, Gubar dekhte rahe!
Maang bhar chali ki ek jab nayi-nayi kiran,Dholke dhunuk uthi, thumuk uthe charan-charan,Shor mach gaya ki lo chali dulhan, chali dulhan,Gaaon sab umad pada, behek uthe nayan-nayan,Par tabhi zehar bhari,Gaaz ek woh giri,Punchh gaya sindoor, taar-taar hui choonri,Aur ham ajaan se,Door ke makaan se,Palki liye hue kahar dekhte rahe!Karvan guzar gaya, Gubar dekhte rahe!!Swapna-jhare phool se,Meet-chubhe shool se,Lut gaye singaar sabhi baag ke babool se,Aur hum khade-khade bahaar dekhte rahe,Karvan guzar gaya, Gubar dekhte raheKarvan guzar gaya, Gubar dekhte rahe

Tell defeat I'm stronger!
"Being young is like riding on a carousel of emotions—problems, issues, insecurities et al. But don't let this deter you from challenging life, says Dr Daisaku Ikeda. To challenge is to live a fulfilling, winning life!
Youth is a time of rapid change. It can also be a time of confusion. You may feel as if you're standing alone in a wasteland or on a battlefield. Sometimes you may think you can't believe in anybody, that no one loves you, or that you've no reason to live. You may feel anxious about your looks or have quarrelling parents at home, financial worries or a serious illness. From feeling confident and upbeat at one moment, you may be overwhelmed with insecurity, frustration or apathy the next.
You may have fundamental questions about yourself: Who am I? What should I do with my life? It is quite natural to feel unsure about how to proceed. I feel it is best to concentrate your energies on what you need to do right now, and gradually your full potential will emerge. The most important thing is not to give up on yourself, giving in to negativity or cynicism. Don't compare yourself with others. Be true to who you are and try to cherish and feel content with your own irreplaceable life. Even if you're sometimes laughed at, or people let you down, keep going forward and never let yourself be defeated. An easy life where everything goes your way might seem great, but it won't help you develop your character. You may even become a person who is of no help when things get tough.
There is no such thing as a whole life of smooth sailing. Therefore you're actually doing yourself a favour by taking on difficult challenges, strengthening yourself while you're young. Difficulties can enable you to develop a big heart and become a person of depth and substance. Rather than a life of blank pages, it's better to live a life crammed full of memories of struggles and wonderfully varied experiences.
Even if you feel powerless, that it is difficult to believe in yourself, please try not to be easily swayed by the views of others, and hold true to what you know is right. Try to believe in yourself !
You possess a treasure more valuable than power or fame. To be young is to have hope, passion and freedom. Your whole life lies ahead of you, brimming with possibilities. Set your sights high!
Twenty-one-year-old Edward Whymper was a nineteenth-century English mountaineer who set out to climb the Matterhorn in the Alps. It had never been scaled before. His first attempt failed, but he resolved not to give up, and year after year he pitted himself against the mountain. On one attempt he got within 430 meters of the summit, but slipped and was seriously injured. Another time a rock fall forced him to descend. He was defeated seven times, but he didn't give up. Finally, on July 14, 1865, on his eighth attempt, at the age of twenty-five, he made it to the peak.
Similarly, by challenging a great goal, you can break through your limitations and realise incredible growth. It all comes down to you. Don't rely on others or wait for them to do something.
Try to develop such a strong sense of responsibility that you can stand up to the fiercest storms, confidently proclaiming, "I'll do it. Just watch me!" Confront reality, looking it squarely in the face, and challenge everything that lies ahead of you with courage, wisdom and strength. "

Think Again & Think Hard
"Everything that's coming into your life you are attracting into your life. And it's attracted to you by the virtue of images you are holding in your mind. It's what you are thinking. No matter where you are now, no matter what has happened in your life, you can consciously choose your thoughts and you can change your life. The only reason why people do not have what they want is because they are thinking about what they don't want than what they do want."

Dance of destiny
It’s just a few weeks ago, I encountered with a devil destiny and anticipated that everything will fall into places; however bizarre time has brought me in a juncture where I am helplessly looking for some miracle to happen.
The 18th Nov, 18th Dec 2008, 23rd Jan and 24th Jan 2009, these few days have given me enough shocks; it’s not that before every thing was hunky dory yet the time was smoother. My mother is lying unconsciously for past few days in Apollo Trauma; docs are not able to figure out the root cause of problem. I am on the way to see her. Per previous docs those who treated her foolishly given us assurance that she will be alright but it didn’t happen. Mistakenly they lauded the problem as if it’s just a cold, cough or fever. She is in ICU for more than 58 hours and yesterday around 8.45 pm went through MRI test. I have been regularly calling my brother to know her condition and to my ill luck there has not been any sort of improvement in her condition. The report will come out today around 8 o’clock; we are impatiently waiting for report to know what docs say after that. By 11 o’clock tomorrow I’ll be in front of her but the memories of ill destiny of last incident which took place in August 2007 hovers large in my mind.
I remember it was a similar situation; like today, I was on the way to home to see my father when he was admitted in IGIMS. I thought, I would go and make the difference in the worsening condition of my father. However, God had something else for me; I could not even see his dead face. When I reached it was mere sobbing and quavering sounds of my kiths and kins were left out. I could not even complain as I knew “Those whom God loves die young”.
The life has already gifted me a lot of bad and cruel memories, don’t know when on earth it’s gonna come to an end. God, please..!!!

What's wrong?
A quest which is really bugging me for day in day out, don’t know what goes wrong with me every now and then. Why do I get lost amidst failures, why do I always peep into future, why do I get too hard on myself? Careless whispers always haunt and helplessly I find no answer to it. This is not the first time I lost control over myself, it's been repeatedly happening since childhood. I want to win my world and try to do that, however the attitude which I carry makes me sometime winner at the same time looser.
It's not that I don't want or try to overcome it, I have tried not to think too hard or take something too serious but whatever the reason it does not happen. Somehow today I lost too and the thing which I try to avoid, it happened again. I am upset...my face can’t hide, it narrates the whole story.
