favorite lines from kabhi kabhi

कभी रास्ते में मिल जाओ
तो कतरा के गुज़र जाना
हमे इस तरह तक्ना
जैसे पहचाना नहीं तुमने

हमारा जिक्र जब आये
तो यूँ अन्जान बन जाना
कि नाम सुनकर भी नहीं
जन तुमने

glued to the TV.. just following them,
another hapless beholder to the mayhem
wishing each moment,"may now end the wait"
at hindsight, i realize where lied the bait..

the sight goes further.. sees so much that did happen
asks self.."how many times did the eyes dampen?"

whole of villages were burnt down in kashmir,
where was your voice, your words , your smear.
farmers' suicide...found an electoral mention
dalal street crashing..the topic of your discussion
floods in bihar.. wait for water to recede
bad rains in mumbai and the nation would heed
an olympic gold.."good job my boy"
a t20 cup.. there are no limits to joy

yes, we are unfair, unjust are our priorities
they got it right this time..the terrorists became celebrities

कुछ भी बन बस कायर मत बन .

तेरी रक्षा का न मोल है
पर तेरा मानव अमोल है
यह मिट ता है ,वह बनता है
यही सत्य की सही तोल है

कुछ भी बन बस कायर मत बन .
