They say, "Cowards have dreams, great men visions",
When brave men speak, everyone listens.

Tonight you have dreams, and you say you're strong,
May be you're right, those who said the quote are wrong.

But that is all a phrase, some follow, some refrain,
If you've doubt, say it, don't let it remain.

Inside your brave heart, that has grown in lot of cream,
Or may be you've visions, not exactly dreams.

Well, whatever they are, don't let them decide your fate,
Row out to meet your ship, inside the house don't wait.

Coz there's a lot to find, a lot to know about,
The seeds of success need action, for them to sprout.

~Prashant Mishra

Bada natkhat hai ye dil na jaane kya kya sochta rehta hai,
kabhi bada khush toh kabhi zara sa dukhi rehta hai..

Karvata hai mujhse ye na jaane kaise kaise karnaame,
jinka uddeshya ham bhi na jaane aur tum bhi naa jaane..

Kabhi toh pyar bhare ek hi shabd se harshit ho jaata hai,
toh kabhi shabdon ki uljhan mein hi ulaj kar hatash ho jata hai..

Khush hota hai jab ye toh har baat mein haasya khoj leta hai,
par jab hota hai ye dukhi toh uss haasya mein bhi apna dard khoj leta hai...

Kabhi toh deewano ki tarah kisi khaas ko chahne lagta hai,
samay ke saath vahi khaas iss dil ko bhane fir lagta hai..

Na jaane kitni yaadein sanjoye rehta hai ye apne andar,
jaise andar bhara hua ho pyaar ka samundar...

Zindagi ki iss kashmakash mein bass iss baat ka khayal rakhna,
chori na ho jaye kahi issey zara sambhal kar rakhna..

~Ankit

Apni chahat ka falsafa unhe sunayen bhi toh kaise,
ab toh itna dur hai wo hamse pass jaye bhi toh kaise..

Meri dil mein unki jagah koi aur lega bhi toh kaise,
ye dil toh nadaan hai kisi aur ko pyaar dega bhi toh kaise..

Unke praharon se aahat hokar ab dukhde sunayen bhi toh kaise,
khabhi khush bhi ho jayen jo toh gungunayen bhi kaise..

Dono pahiyon ke bina ye jeevan rupi rath bolo chal payega kaise,
itna kaccha bhi nahi tha hamara rishta bolo tut payega kaise..

Mein toh tera hi saaya hun mujhse dur jaoge kaise,
tere dil ke kisi kone mein toh mein zarur hun;mujhe bhul paoge kaise..

Apni chahat ka falsafa unhe sunayen bhi toh kaise,
ab toh itna dur hai wo hamse pass jaye bhi toh kaise..

जब मंजिले नज़र आये और रास्ता न मिल पाए
रख हिम्मत मेरे यार, आओ एक पथ पर चलते ही जाए

जब रोशिनी दिखे कही दूर पर किरण न पहुच पाए
रख होसला ज़रा, चल एक नया दीप जलाए

जब रास्ते पर कुछ लोग तेरे लिए काँटा बन जाए
रख भरोसा खुदपर, देखना कही कदम ना डगमगाए

जब कड़ी धुप में हालात भी तेरा खून खौलाए
रख इतनी ढंडक अपने दिल  में कि इन्द्र भी खुद बरसाए

जब दुनिया में, तेरे आलोचकों की संख्या बढ़ जाए
रख संयम इतना कि उनको भी तू माफ़ कर पाए

जब अपने हो जाये पराए और दूरियाँ बढती जाए
रख उम्मीद हमेशा, देख दिल टूट ना पाए

जब जब  इन सारी बातों से तेरा दिल घबराये
भूल उन पलो, उन किस्सों को जो तुने थे सजाये

होकर मगन अपने धुन में याद रख सदा
राही का तो काम हैं चलता जाए, चलता जाए ||
~Kumar Utkarsh

दिल को बोला संभल जा ज़रा
दिल न माना फिर मेरी बात
एक बार फिर भरोसा कर के
पहुंचा ह्रदय पे गहरा आघात

ये क्या हैं विडंबना, क्या हैं बात
क्यों बहक गए हैं आज फिर से जज़्बात
याद नहीं क्या उनको वो दिन
जब खाया था एक विश्वासघात

सुना हैं बाखूब किसी शायर से
दिल संभल जा ज़रा फिर बहक रहा है तू
मैं कहता लौट कर वापिस मत आना मेरे पास
मैं खुद नहीं सोच पाउँगा की मैं क्या बोलू

खुदा के बन्दे पर नीमत हैं उसकी
बच निकले थे जैसे तुम पिछली बार
आखिरी बार कह रहा हू संभल जा
टूट न जाए कही दिल के वो तार,
और बिखर जाये ज़िन्दगी की झंकार......!!!

~Kumar Utkarsh

गर्दिश में तारे मेंरे  भले हो मगर
साथ न छोड़ देना तुम कभी मुह मोड़कर
वादा हैं जन्नत की सैर कराऊंगा
ख़ुशी और प्यार से तेरा हर लम्हा सजाऊंगा

चाँद के पार ना सही समुन्दर की लहरें दिखाऊंगा
सपनो का महल न बन सका तो रेत पर किला बनाऊंगा
तू अगर साथ रही हर दम, हर वक़्त, हर मोड़ पर
तो इन्शालाह एक दिन तारे भी तोड़ लाऊंगा

गर आज दे न सकू तुझे चंद फूल वो गुलाब के
ये न सोच लेना की तुझे भूल मैं भाग जाऊंगा
तिनके तिनके से जिस तरह बनता हैं एक घरोंदा
एक एक ईट उस तरह अपना घर सजाऊंगा

गर रूठ जाये भी कभी तू तो तेरे तकिये के किनारे
अपना सर रख कर मैं शायद अश्रु भी बहाऊंगा
पर कर यकीन मुझपर और याद रखना सदा
ख़ुशी और प्यार  से तेरा हर लम्हा सजाऊंगा....
~Kumar Ukarsh

सीने में आज ना जाने
मची कैसी ये खलबली हैं
आग सी हैं भड़क रही
दिल में मेरे जल रही हैं

दिख रहा हैं वो किनारा
हर पल अब तक जो धूमिल था
क्या इस बार ज़मीन मिलेगी
ख्याल हर सोच में शामिल था

डर हैं कही डगमगा ना जाऊ
यह सुन्दर स्वप्न न टूट जाए कही
कुछ एक को हैं खबर किस तरह हूँ बढ़ा
हैं भरता जिस तरह बूँद बूँद घड़ा

बस अब येही आरज़ू है दिल की
ऊपर वाले सदा देना दुआ
अगर मेहनत कर के भी हार गया तो गम नहीं
समझ लूँगा खेल रहा था ज़िन्दगी से जुआ ॥

याद उन लम्हों का पुनः आभास है,

Tu door bhi nahi aur paas bhi nahi,
Mujhse juda hone ka tujhe ahsaas bhi nahi,
Pyar tab bhi tha pyar ab bhi hai,
Intzaar kal bhi tha intzaar aaj bhi hai,
Fark kewal itna hai...
Kal tere aane ka tha aaj tere jaane ka hai,
Tu aur teri yaad ko dil se mitaane ka hai,
Din badal gaye shamaa badal gayi,
'Par' jo maine nikaale aasman badal gayi,
Daman tera chhod kar khud ke andar jo gaya hu,
kuyein se nikal kar samandar ho gaya hu,
kuyein se nikal kar samandar ho gaya hu...

~Raj

I’m your friend, i’ll share your pain.
I’m here for you through
the sunshine and the rain.

Through the pretty, the ugly,
the good, and the bad, i promise
to be here, my friendship is not just a fad.

Life is hard, but I’m here.
although losing you is my only fear.
but i know you’re strong and will
over come this fight.
just remember that in the end of
every dark tunnel you will always find
that shining light.

~Bunty

When things, as they sometime will
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill
When the funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns
As every one of us sometimes learns
And many a fellow turns about
When he might have won, had he stuck it out.
Don't give up though the pace seems slow
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than
It seems to a faint and faltering man;
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victor's cup;
And he learned too late when the night came down
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt
And you never can tell how close you are
It may be near when it seems afar;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit
It's when things worst that you mustn't quit.


~Unknown

The dogs barked.

I was on my bed,
The thieves said.

"Let's search the house",
I thought it was just a mouse.

They came inside,
I found no place to hide.

They came near me,
And asked for the locker key,

Bravely I said,"go outside
and keep this mission aside".

They brandished a shining knife,
In danger was my precious life.

They haunted me the whole night,
This drama ended with the first daylight.

I woke up from a deep sleep,
Still frightened of those truculent creeps.

My dream was really so scary,
Its unpleasant memory I still carry.

~Bunty

When you are sad,
When you are feeling bad
S gives you a smile
H do you feel for a while?
You think the whole World is against you
B there is someone who really cares for you,
If not, there's the sweet little smile,
That will be your companion all your life.

Have you ever eaten chicken or fish fry?
& heard someone's chocked cry?
Or ever relished elaborately prepared meat,
& tried to hear someone's tormented bleats?
No, we just want to satisfy our hunger,
At the cost of someone's flesh, skin,
And even nails from the fingers.
We need perfumes made of musk's,
& jewelery made of tusks.
We need good quality leather,
& birds with bright & colorful feathers.
Inspite of being killers we are never jailed,
Rarely if we are arrested, we easily get bailed.
Have you ever seen animals carrying heavily loaded carts?
& noticed there wounded & bleeding parts?
We are pleased to see zoos full of animals.
But never noticed their captive cries & yells.
No, because we don't have any compassion,
We merrily kill them for the sake of fashion.
These innocent creatures can't express their anguish,
& we don't want to see,
So, who are animals they or we?

Sets and classes, caste and creed,
Made by humans, for their greed,
Torn by apathy, with no empathy,
I am writing this one with full of sympathy.

The nations with people with varied stature,
Why do we have then, narrowed nature,
If I look into the, near future,
The country would be in mere fracture.

For their pockets to fill and treasuries to flow,
Now reservations are on the go,
Think for a moment, on your part,
SC and ST, why they are set apart?

Thinking of a bill for those Olympian races,
Where a SC made first, for the reservation he faces,
Others may have just their talents to show,
And hang their heads with shame and bow.

With privilege and priority, they are set apart,
Often we forget the realistic part,
Nation's pride is now on a bumpy ride,
Its now us to do, something from our side !!!!!!

Mein ab tum logo ko,
Uss duniya ki oor le chala;
Nawab aur rajao ka hi,
Marzi se jaha raj chala.........................

Ek hukum hi kafi tha, jab,
Kai sirr katkar gir jaate the,
Sirr utane ka b himmat, tab,
Bas sochte hi ham raha jaate the......................

Unki pidi toh khatam ho gayi,
Phir b aaj ham peedit hai,
netao ka veesh pehankar,
shayad, ab b ye jeevit hai..............................

Logo ka pratiniditva kehekar,
Apna shasan chalate hai,
beyimaani, beroozgari ko hi apna,
haatiyaar banakar chalte hai..........................

noto se har kaam ye chalate,
kya ham itne tuchh prani hai?
kaam aane par, muhh jo modte,
unn rajao se b haavi hai................................

Ek prashn ut tha hai mujme,
kya ye peedi, avyaay hi reha jaayegi,
kartavya samajkar, ham me se ek aaye toh,
sabki zindagi badal jayegi......................

Say every morning to yourself -"Today is going to be a great day."
Say before starting your day,"I am going to make someone happy today."
Say before you do any work,"Yes, I can do it easily."
Say if you are worried,"Things don't get better by worrying about them."
Say to yourself if you fail,"Let it be this time, next time will be mine."
Life is great,
Make the most of it and
Don't be sad because,
There is always something to jest,.
Be an optimist & believe in yourself.
Cause you are The BEST.

Ever since the earth, began to shape,
Life made, other planets to gape,
Varied forms, that gloomed and bloomed,
Human species, also mushroomed..........

Their senses made to look apart,
Of which, till now, they were a common part,
Considering as, masters of nature,
Started their way to mark their capture........

Their thoughts and woes seemed to divide,
Civilized ones were set aside,
Inhuman deeds started to creep,
Everyone were left to weep..............

Though modern era brought some change,
Liberty, fraternity were among the range,
Some good will were spread afar,
But loose ends were still ajar...........

Media played a dual role,
Instigating each and every soul,
Subtle changes that structured our stigma,
Often biased, but covered by a lemma.............

Crooks and goons, when started to boon,
Made us their bait, that too very soon,
Persistent ones were left to slay,
Others were just mere child's play...........

Often left as other's problem,
Never know, when you will be their emblem,
So please do consider and do heed,
To finish off this, new bitter breed..............

In the first period of civics,
I was doing the Home Work of Physics.

I was doing it seceretly & silently.
When the teacher came along quietly.

He gave me an angry look ,
& snatched away my book.

Terrified I stood there,
trembling to the tip of my hair.

"Get out", were the only two words I heard,
Indeed these were the words I fear.

Standing out of the class you know,
Makes one fell so depressed & low.

So I took a strong resolution,
Never to give in to the temptation.

Of doing the work of History & Physics,
In the first period of Civics.
