This is a humble extension that I’ve tried out, of a wonderful piece of work which I had read on a friend’s blog. Please find a link to it at the end of this post.
Dil mein arzoo ho gehri agar muskarane ki,
Nakaamyabi mein bhi vo shohrat dhoondh leti hai.
Manzil ka chehra saaf hai jo uski aankhon mein,
Pata-thikana khud-ba-khud dhoondh leti hai.
Itni guzaarish hai mere dost, tu maayus na hona.
Tujhko kya maaloom, teri muskurahat ko meri gazal dhoondh leti hai.
Kuch is tarah mohabbat kar ummeed-e-zindagi se,
Ki jaise teri har saans uski khushboo dhoondh leti hai.

Wow! SIR, how do u manage to write so soulfully; please keep on writing, as it’s giving me reasons to SURVIVE in this world.
LOVE, Rashi.

@ Rashi
Thanks!
Praises – they simply exemplify the reader’s good reception of what the writer has tried to encompass into words. You’re being too charitable to call me “Sir”. And, I’d be more glad if instead of, it GIVING you REASONS to SURVIVE, it was ENCOURAGING you to overcome hurdles and LIVE LIFE optimistically. We’re born to LIVE & not just SURVIVE. Very much like they say, “Ummeed pe duniya kaayam hai”.
Stay Good!
Love, Viral.
P.S. I’m sorry, I had to edit your comment in some manner. I hope, that’ll not upset you.
P.S. You must read my post “In Awe” under the B+ category.

This is so beautiful, very hopeful, looking at light rather than darkness. :).

@ Mysoul
I’m glad you visited back. And good that you liked it. Also that you rightly acknowledged the implication. I am happy.
… Peace!

@ Nova
haha lol… good way of assenting that extension (originally on your page), hey! And I hope that wasn’t an ironic statement from you, lol.
If not “brilliant”, I wish it was atleast pleasant to sound, hear and read…. Besides, I’ll require to write thousand such shayaris before i can even think of book publishing.
And moreover,
Humko nahi shaukh ke zamaane bhar ki ronak ho,
Dil ki tarangon ka, bas dil se lafz ,
Aur aage kuchh apno tak ka safar ho!
Aadab!

@ Nova
And hey, by the way, you can suggest any Takhallus (pseudonym)..
October 26, 2007 at 4:06 am
@ Rashi
By the way, you can as well suggest a Takhallus (pseudonym).. 🙂
October 26, 2007 at 3:29 pm
Well I can’t imagine of any other takhallus than SIR, but you don’t like it, and if you are saying for myself then I like the planet venus. Hows tht?

May I have your permission to use your images of frustration on your website for a music video I’m making?
Thanks, Missy Schmit

@ Missy
I’m not the owner of those images. Incidently, I must have as well borrowed them from somewhere on the internet. I’m unsure of whether had I taken them from a free source or with permission from elsewhere. Hence, albeit that I’m not the authority to grant you the permission, what I could say from my end perhaps is – “Yes, you may use them”.
By the way, what kinda music video are you making?
Best, Viral Trivedi

Sorry for not visiting since long, but i was reading the thread and trying to respond with a good word, all that came to my mind was…
Takhallus kya de koi aapko
Huzzor hum to koshish kar kar thak gae
Chah rahe thae aapki adaakaari ko navaazae
Fir yu hua k alfaaz zubaan pe aa kar ruk gae…

Aadab Aapa!
