DILASA

Gum ho gaya hai yeh jahaan

Sab kuch lagata hai paraya sa

Kisi pe ab bharosa nahi

Darr lagta hai khud se bhi

Khushi har pal mein aati hai

Lekin jaane kahan pal mein ghum jati hai

Gham bhi dost jaisa saath nibhata nahi

Har pal aake satata yahi

Iska koi hal ab dikhta nahi

Koi saccha ab lagta nahi

Har koi aake salah de jaata hai

Apne tareeke se behlata hai

Pyar ka matlab mujhe samajh na aa paya

Ya yeh pyar mera naa ho paya

Pyar ka jasba ab baaki nahi

Dimaag ka khel hai sab dil ki zaroorat nahi

Koi aake yeh Dilasa de jaye

Pyar hota hai saccha yeh batla jaye

Koi aake yeh Dilasa de jaye

Dil aaj bhi anmol hai yeh samjhaye

BIGGER PICTURE

When everyone asks me what is love? All I can think of are different kind of adjectives describing it. The feeling I used to have, the POWER the word 'love' had on me seems to be lost. There is no one I can blame it on. It's me. It's inside me. It's me who has changed. But just like every one has. We are all so engrossed in reaching the peak that we our somewhere forgetting the 'larger picture'. We forget there is something big, something we cannot fight. It is Destiny. We always believe in it. But how often do we have faith on it.

When i was young and fell in love, I never thought of constraints, problems or issues. I just felt it. I was in love. So i just let myself be. Believed in it with full faith. And that is why that is the only time I felt churns in my stomach, my eyes twinkling, my cheeks blush and my knees crumble. And now, I keep a condition to even meet a person. I question myself, IS it really growing up? AND the answer is 'No'. Its compromise. We have forced ourselves to believe that love in reality is way  different as portrayed. Despite the fact that majority of us want the same thing.  Its just that we have stopped believing in the bigger picture.

If only you let destiny play its role. If only you stop questioning yourself. And if only you believe in the Bigger Picture. Will you realize what you are losing in life.
