Akhiri Khwaahish

ek raat ek farishta neend se jaga ke bola

"maang ae bande teri aakhiri ichcha kya hai"

ek pal ko to jahaan tham sa gaya

sochke,dil hil gaya

fir maine khudse pucha

"Itni jaldi!"

"akhir meri saza kya hai?"

wo un andhere galiyaaro me se fir bola,

"akhiri saans lene se pehle,

palke humesha ke liye moondne se pehle,

kya kisi sapne ko poora karna hai chahta?

kya chahat hai teri, kya hai armaan,

Kya hai jo apne jiwan se hai chahta?

Kis manzil tak chahta hai jana?

ya kisi galti ko chahta hai sudharna?"

fir maine khud se pucha

aatm-sameeksha kar man ne batlaya,

ek arthheen, be-maksad,

bhautik sukhoo me lipt jeevan

antheen ichchaaye, hazaroo khwahishe,

yahi sochte hue ek aansu jhalak aya,

khud ko shaant kar main bola

"Bahut si chhoti-chhoti cheezein

Ek boond paani

Ek lamha pyar

Ek katra vishwas

Ek pal ki shanti

Ek chain ki saans

Ghadi bhar ka saath

Ek shaant muskaan

Ek khushi ka daan

Ek gham ka nidan

Ek rasta anjaan

Aur EK PEHCHAAN"

sunke meri baat,farista muskuraya

"maang liya poora jahan

in choti choti ichchaoo me

ab tak kya kar rha tha,

so rha tha kya insaan?

jee le kuch aur pal,

kar le poore apne armaan"

Muthhi mein ek sagar thama ke

Mujhe mera rasta dikha ke

Dekar aur ek mauka, farishta woh mera

Gayab yoon hua, ki nazar bhi na aya

Ek pal ko thamke, fir maine mudke

Muskarati zindagi apni se kaha

"Tune mujhe ek naam ek wajood diya tha kabhi

Aj tera karz utaarne ka samay hai aya"

17 Again!

This segment just arose from a weird thought, after i saw the movie 17 Again. It was all about a middle aged man who returned miraculously back to his teenage, where he corrected the mistakes, he made earlier, to set things right.
we all set priorities in life, we all do it knowingly or unknowingly, whether it is career or it is personal life. A folk is also there which just live their lives with no priorities, even they have a one.

I at this age, realized, rather admit, that I too did some mistakes in my past, whose impact are coming up now. But what i should do about today and tomorrow, the mistakes I am making today are going to shine in near future, they can petty ones or can be one, with the deep impact. I will not get a second chance, Then?? what should I do? How will i know at this point of time that I am committing a mistake? Maybe according to my intellect I am making a perfect decision now, but it is not! Assume there are two choices, 1 can take me to skies, and 2nd one just like that, slow steady types. Which one to chooose??maybe the first one can take me high and then after few years i will regret why i made this choice, and the 2nd one which seems to be slow and static, will going to boost me up beyond limits. So how should I decide?
May be you won't find it much appealing if you are satisfied with your life, with your deeds, but if you are not, i am sure your vote will surely go to me.
