Remembering the Pursuit

Remembering the Pursuit...

Its been some time since I wrote The Pursuit, but I remember the poem that I wrote in the Pursuit! Arnav reading the poem and feeling the loneliness of a young woman! Her aspirations and thoughts! Her feelings and insecurities, and above all her hopes and her fears which makes him go to Sheesh Mahal in Pursuit of her...

Dil mein ek armaan hai... 

Sapney palkon pey hain jagi,

Jab yeh dil ki bujhegi lagi

Bachpan beetha kaisey

Hum jaan hi na paaye aisey

ki jab waqt aaya woh! Tab mila humey ek gulab ka phool!

Maa ney chodaa hath humaara

thaamey hum Pappa ki ungli,

Khushi ko sath na tha gawaara

tho humesha woh humsey karthi chugli!

Behthi hui Reva mein humney bahaye aasun anmol,

saath Maa key yaadon key... ek gulab ka phool!

Jab thaami humney Bapu ki ungli aur socha thodha man behley

jhat sey ruk gayi zindagi do kadam bhi naa chali...

Suraj dhalgaya, Khushi ka savera honey se pehley

hum phir nikalpadey wahi gali,

aagey badhthey gayein ...sab kuch bhool

thaamey huye yaadon ka ek gulab ka phool!

Jaisey humney hosh sambhala

zindagi ne yahi samjhaya…

Humesha sath rahega joh,

Bus baney ummeed humaari woh!

Koyi na aaya bus hum chalthey gaye

yoohin soone raasthey pey

jispey tha sirf dhool

aur sath humaarey ...yadon ka gulaab ka phool!

Ab armaan naye dil mein hai jaagey

bus koi hai jo apna laagey

Ummeed is qadar tha unpey

per woh issey pehle key sach baney

rehgaye humari yaad baney...

tho un yaadon ko woh bhaley hi jaaye bhool

hum neh thai kiya rehjaayien hum banke kisikey yadon ka gulab ka phool!

Barson beethey per humey na aaya nazar

jahaan hum rahey chain sey- woh manzar

Khushi ki jhoomey bahaar…

aur apna ho ghar parivar…

Hum akeley bhaley hamesha,

key jo sath chaley woh banjaaye tamasha!

Koi nahi bath agar na banpaaye kisikey hum

chalthey jayengey jab taq jaan mein hai dum!

kaheen hamari reh gayeen duniya banthey banthey

bikhri hui zindagi humney sameta hasthey hasthey

Arman banien hai pankhuri aur junoon humaara rang lal 

hum nahi tho kya! chod jaa rahein hai yeh nishaan bemisaal

saath apne rakhna yeh humaara tohfa anmol

humaarey ummedonka bus ek yeh gulaab ka phool!

I had tears in my eyes when I wrote this! Every woman's aspiration is "Ek Gulab ka Phool," which is nothing but , the one chance that's given to live life to the fullest! The aspiration that flies higher than the sky, and the dream that fills hope into someone's heart!

I dedicate this to every woman out there! Each and every one! Saluting all the women, who make this world beautiful and lovable!

Enjoy & Express!
