क्या खोया क्या पाया

 


क्या खोया क्या पाया 

कुछ समझ ना आया। 


चंद सांसों की ख़ातिर 

जिंदगी को बेच आया। 


खुदी को मिटा कर 

मैंने ख़ुद को पाया। 


कहीं और जाया जाए 

जहाँ है देखा दिखाया। 


मेरे ख़्याल और अल्फ़ाज़ 

बस यही मेरा सरमाया। 


जब सब जगह वो समाया 

कौन अपना कौन पराया। 


खुदी : अहंकार, सरमाया : धन-दौलत



~ संजय गार्गीश ~ 





Life is kind enough to impart invaluable lessons though sometimes in unkind ways. Jotting down my ruminations, life experiences for my loved ones so that they may live each and every moment fully.

Leave Your Body Before It Leaves You.

Death is not only unpredictable, it is also even-handed. Not only it catches one unawares, it also doesn't discriminate between a newly born child and an octogenarian! I have found that there are two ways in which one can bid goodbye to this world : (a) When one's body leave one. (b) When one leaves one's body. Try loving intensely anything belonging to this material world. Take it from me, you'll ultimately be a loser. You'll be deceived by the same thing on which you have showered your affection, in which you have reposed your utmost trust. I have discerned that any material thing, be it money or relation, that gives joy initially, would finally prove to be a pain in one's neck. King Midas was crazy for gold. The "yellow metal" brought ruin to him, proved to be his nemesis. The wealthy monarch finally died due to "starvation". Eminent business tycoon Vijaypat Singhania, the man behind the ultra - successful clothing brand ...

"Emptiness" Is More Valuable Than "Fullness".

Contrary to the popular opinion, I have come to the conclusion that "Emptiness" is more valuable than "Fullness". I totally disagree with the western saying that an empty brain is the devil's workshop. I strongly believe that a brain at work, full of ideas, will only bring miseries, disasters. The brain has produced ultra sophisticated weapons that can annihilate the whole creation within few minutes. Infact, even the so called "good things" that have grown out of brain are ultimately useless, dangerous. Air conditioners, fuel driven vehicles seemingly have made the human life comfortable. But these have caused innumerable lifestyle diseases, tremendously increased the global temperature, contributed towards the elimination of various medicinal plants and animal species. It has now been conclusively proved that radiations from mobiles, electric bulbs, microwave ovens cause many deadly diseases including cancer. Better medical facilities leading ...

तूफ़ान-ए-हवादिस

I want to share my new गज़ल (poem) with my friends. Hope you like my new composition. (a) तूफ़ान-ए-हवादिस में अक्सर फंस ही जाता हूं मैं एक शीशा हूँ, हर पत्थर से टकराता हूँ मैं (b) मुझे रूला कर वोह हंस ना पाता है जब रोते हुए भी बहुत मुस्कुराता हूँ मैं (c) कई पुराने गमों को दफन करने की ख़ातिर शाम होते ही मयखानें पहुंच जाता हूँ मैं (d) यार की बाहों में आखिरी हिचकी आए कुछ इस तरह से अपनी मौत चाहता हूँ मैं Meaning of Urdu words : तूफ़ान-ए-हवादिस : storm of misfortunes , दफन : bury , यार : beloved/ the almighty. Translation : (a) Like a piece of glass attacked on all sides by stones of different sizes, I often find myself in the midst of a storm of misfortunes. (b) Any person who makes me cry would not be able to laugh at my miseries. This is because I smile a lot even during my miserable, tough times. (c) In order to bury my old sorrows, I have to go to the pub in the evening. (d) I wish to take the last breath in the arms of my beloved/ the almighty. That's how ...
