Poem: वो आसमान

कभी आसमान को देखा है रात भर बैठे, काले आसमान में चमकता हुआ चाँद कितना सुन्दर लगता है शायद ही कभी ध्यान दिया हो तुमने, कभी उस आसमान को सुनाई गयी कहानिया सुनी है तुमने, कितनी कहानिया है उस काले आसमान में शायद कभी तुमने ध्यान ही नहीं , कभी ढलते सूरज को अपने राज़ बताए है, जानते हो वो किसी को नहीं बताएगा पर शायद तुमने कभी उसकी खूबसूरती के अलावा कही ध्यान ही नहीं दिया , कभी खुले आसमान के तले अपनी ज़िन्दगी की सारी परेशानियों को एक परे रखकर देखा है , कितना अच्छा एहसाह होता , पर शायद तुम उन्हें अपने कंधे पर लेके चलने में ज्यादा मशरूफ थे, कभी बारिश की बूंदो को हाथ में लिया है , कितनी बेपरवाह होती है वो , कोई फ़िक्र नहीं की कितनी उचाई से गिरती है वो ज़मीन की प्यास बुझाने के लिए , कभी आँखे बंद करके सुना है हवायें क्या गुनगुनाती है , शायद तुमने हमेशा खामोश ही पाया है , क्योकि उनकी भाषा बंद आँखों से ही समझी जाती है , कभी सोचा है ये आसमान ना होता तो ज़िन्दगी ना होती इस धरती पर , पर शायद तुम अपनी ज़िन्दगी की भाग-दौड़ ज्यादा ही खो गए हो , कभी समय मिले तो सुना क्या कहता है ये , हैरान रह जाओगे की कैसे ए...

Poem: SCHOOL

"How we enter it and how we all left it had the same expression. We entered crying and leave it crying.  Though the expression was the same, the fears were different. From how are we gonna make friends to how are we gonna live without them, we lived a million happy moments. And when it came to what would be missed, what won't be missed we exclaimed." The friends we made The moments we lived The mischief we did The scolding we heard The periods we bunked The tiffins we shared The doodles we made The games we played The catnaps between the lessons we took The chalk fights and pen fights we did The treat from the canteen, The substitution fun, The dispersal countdown, Well, school isn't a place but a feeling we'll miss. --Ira Pandey Instagram: ira.pandey1803 , imperfect_ira

Poem: YOU ARE STRONG!

Image
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, I found a man standing by me. A man with a hat, an overcoat, and a bag, His eyes shined in the dark. He held me straight and whispered to me breaking the silence, That I was strong to fight the odds. His words seemed like magic, Filling me with courage and strength. I stood straight, ready to fight, Nor afraid, nor weak. Had this been the ending may be, But this was the beginning. There were a million hurdles to cross, a thousand answers to find. From where did I belong, Where did I come from? Who brought me here, or maybe I walked lost till here. Amongst the questions and the stories of victory,  His words still lay at the top. "You are strong!" as he said, I still wonder who he was. I am now on a journey to find him, For now, I ponder, strong and fearless. --Ira Pandey Instagram: ira.pandey1803, imperfect_ira
