I(caps)n this poem, I’ve explored the deep-seated frustrations and hopes that many of us carry. The lines “Mujhe barbad tere ishq se jayda, mere khamoshi ne kiya hai” (I have been ruined more by my silence than by your love) and “Thak gye rooh, ab to awaz uathai jaye” (My soul is tired, now it’s time to raise my voice) reflect a yearning for change and a desire to be heard.

Setting up the stage

At some point in life, we’ve all faced sorrow and frustration due to circumstances beyond our control. These experiences can deeply affect us, and it’s often difficult to move past them. In this poem, I’ve used metaphors to express the emotions and arguments that arise in such situations.

Poem: Chale hai baat, to fir ye baat chalai jaye.

Chale hai baat, to fir ye baat chalai jaye.
Kahani aadhi nhi, puri sunai jaye.

Aur mai nakam hu, ye to sab jante hai.
Par mai kamyab kis had tak tha, ye bhi baat batai jaye.

Mujhe barbad tere ishq se jayda, mere khamoshi ne kiya hai.
Thak gye rooh, ab to awaz uathai jaye.

Hmse bach ke niklne ki, kar rhe the tum kosis.
Lo aa gya farman, ek nayi raah banai jaye.

Kursi ki hood aur batware ki rajniti, sab siyasi pachade hai.
Badlaav agar chahiye, to koi sarkar nayi layi jaye.

Madir tod ke gar, masjid bna rhe ho to.
Khuda hamara bhi to hai,  chalo ab masjidon me he guhaar lagai jaye.

Kisi ka tod kar dil, kabhi bagwaan khus hue hai kya.

Bade nadaan ho yar, ab tumhe kis tarha ye baat samjhaye jaye.
