मधु मुक्तक

बंद अभी करता मधुशाला,
अब न पियूंगा बिल्कुल हाला|
साकी की आँखें प्यासी हैं,
हा! ये मैने क्या कर डाला|

**********

नशे में बोलती हैं आदमी के दिल की आवाज़ें,
होशवालों की ज़ुबान में आवाज़ नहीं होती |

**********

तेरी नज़रों के पैमाने लुढ़क गये हम पर,
वरना हम यूँ नशा नहीं करते |

**********

कल जो लब से पिलाई थी उसने,
हम अभी भी उसी असर में हैं |

**********

सुबह सुबह बोतल शराब की बातें,
ये तेरी इंक़लाब की बातें;
होश आएगा भूल जाएगा,
हैं ये सारी ही ख्वाब की बातें |

**********

Some are truly made of GREAT

Image
We meet so many individuals during the journey called life. Every one of us is unique. Our experiences with them constitute the learning that makes us into whatever we become over a period of time. The best people to be with are the ones who inspire us. These are the people who know how to live and love with an open heart. Their thoughts, ideas, feelings make us trust them and with time, they make us understand the meaning of greatness. Greatness is not related to money or fame or heroism. It is a habit. It makes one face the troubling situations. Greatness is the test of substance of the character. Greatness is simplicity, love and true beauty of the inner self. Greatness is a rarity. Many of us are good at something or the other. Some of us are better than many of us. But Only some are truly made of great. This post is a tribute to those great inspirational individuals. I also encountered a few people who have truly been great and inspirational. These are the ones

I Warned You!

Team Name: Maximus Dramaticus Read the previous part here: The Warning “I warned you, you nasty bastard!” Shouted the lady clad in white standing behind him. She was holding a razor in her hand, soaked in deep red blood. It was the same lady whom Cyrus saw the other day. The sight was terrifying, the silence of the night was deafening. His heart sank with fear of death and he wanted to scream, but his voice betrayed him. His face turned pale, he stumbled and hit his head on the basin and fell unconscious on the floor. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cyrus woke to the irritating sound of Alarm ringing somewhere. He so wished that someone switches off that irritating sound, but it continued ringing. He was lying on his washroom floor. He tried to search the source of the sound as it was coming from somewhere in the washroom itself. The irritating sound persisted. It was his cell phone ringing alongside the basin. He tried to stand up but he felt unbearabl

थक गया हूँ बहुत...आज सोता हूँ मैं

आज मुझे सो लेने दो, दिन भर का थका हुआ हूँ; नींद में ही सही रो लेने दो।। जब उसका कोई सहारा ना था, वो किसी का भी इतना दुलारा ना था; तब सहारा दिया था उसे एक दिन।। उसके आँसू गिरे जब भी, रोया हूँ मैं, उसकी हर आह पर एक आवाज की; उसको जीने की हर पल नसीहत भी दी।। आज खुश है वही और रोता हूँ मैं, उसको चिन्ता नहीं एक पल के लिये; अपने आँसू से पत्थर भिगोता हूँ मैं।। गम की दुनिया में गम के ही साये मिले, दोसत जितने भी ढूँढे पराये मिले, एक मुद्दत से हूँ राह पर मैं खड़ा; लोग जितने भी देखे,सताये मिले।। गम नहीं रीत है ये ही संसार की, क्षुद्रता है यही स्वार्थ व्यापार की, किन्तु फिर भी तिमिर को सँजोता हूँ मैं; थक गया हूँ बहुत,आज सोता हूँ मैं।।
