When I walked in your shoes

Dear friend, it's been some time now..I haven't heard back from you..

Feels as if for you,am one of those strangers waiting in cue..

I think as if you have forgotten me altogether,

Have given up on all memories about the time we had spent together

Of course I am very proud of you,when I watch you climbing mountains,

With all the challenges that come across, you achieve success in tonnes

You keep saying to everyone, Life is busy,

Has it really been, or am I being too fussy?

Just to make sure,I decided to step into your shoes,

To explore about your life and how your boat sails

Honestly, I wasn't even able to walk with your shoes on, 

I wonder how do you manage to run with them all along

It is not easy to lead your life,I now understand,

Even in such a case, how do you manage to stand

I decide to put your shoes back and wear mine,having learnt enough lessons

I tried to look for my pair,and found them sitting on someone else's legs

My expressions turned from angry to happy, while checking on the person wearing them

It was 'you' after all this time, who had also been taking a walk through my life

We both smiled at each other, didn't say a word and gave a friendly nod

Headed towards our favoutite hanging place where we loved to go; 'without' our shoes on

Do Pattonki Kahani

वो पत्तोंकी सरसराहट तेरी याद दिलाती है,
तेरी खुशबू के रूप में जैसे तुझे ढूंढ लाती है

कुछ पत्ते अभी भी हरे हैं ,पेड़ जिनसे भर गए है,
नीचे गीरे पुराने पत्तोंको मगर वो अब भूल गए है

उन टहनीयोंपे  कैसे हम भी साथ साथ रहते थे,
सूरज की गर्मी हो,या बारिश की बूंदे हो,हम खुश थे

                               
                                  फिर जाने क्या बात हुई जो हमें यु पड़ा बीछडना,
                                 क्या हर पत्ते के नसीब में होता है यु ही गिर जाना?

                                  ज़मीन पे पता नहीं तेरा ठिकाना अब कहा रहता है,
                                  इसीलिए शायद हर आहट में दिल तुझे ही ढूँढता है

                                 कही दूर ही सही, मगर तू भी ज़मीन पे है ये अच्छा है,
                                क्यूंकि इसी मिटटी में मिलकर, कल हमें फिर से पेड़ पर साथ उगना है

Words....

A means of communication
A form of expression

A minds reflection                                                                  
A Soul's impression

They are powerful and strong,
They can form a beautiful song

They can make one smile,
They can make one cry

They can hurt one,
They can flirt with one

They can touch one's heart,
They can break one's heart

They can bring people together,
They can even force them apart

They are available for free, yet they are priceless
Everyone must be watchful about their use and should not be careless

Once they are 'out' there, they cannot return
May your words be wise enough to take a 'correct' turn
