वो पहली मुलाकात..........

एक मुद्दत क बाद उठाई है कलम,सोचा कुछ नई बात लिखूं .

कुछ भूली-बिसरी यादें लिखू,कुछ दिल के ज़ज्बात लिखूं .

प्यार भरे कुछ नगमे लिखूं , या गम की बरसात लिखूं 

खुशियों भरे वो दिन लिखूं या तन्हा कोई रात लिखूं .

आओ सुनाता हू तुम्हे दास्तान इक रात की,

मीठी सी कुछ बातें उस पहली मुलाकात की.

शब-ए-फुरकत मे जैसे चाँद तारों का साया था ,

ना जाने क्या सुरूर मेरे दिल-ओ-जिगर पे छाया था.

सागर की लहरों को चीर के जैसे कश्ती कोई आती है,

कुछ इस तरह वो चेहरा मेरे नज़रो के सामने आया था

ज़माने भर की नज़रों से वो मुझे जुदा सा लगा,

अजनबी था वो पर ना जाने क्यू मुझे अपना सा लगा.

उसे देख के लगा ये सच ऩही एक ख्वाब है ,

खुदा की  मेहर है कोई या माहताब है

शबनमी सितारों पे जैसे इक फूल खिला है,

लगता है मानो रब से ही कोई नूर मिला है

थी चेहरे पे उसके अजब सी मासूमियत,

आँखों मे इक शरारत थी,

वो नज़रो को उठा के पलकों का झुकना

उसकी तो हर अदा मे मानो कयामत थी.

स्नेहा का वो एक पल था

वो भी ड्रँध थी मैं सबल था

जो मैने चाहा कह ना पाया,

वो जब बोली, मैं अचल था.

ना चाहत थी अब किसी और की ,

ना ही अब किसी की आस ही थी.

वो एक शख्स मेरे साथ था ,

ना अब मुझे किसी और की तलाश थी |

एक लड़की थी.........

एक लड़की थी अनजानी सी,कुछ पगली कुछ दीवानी सी,

एक मस्त हवा का झोंका थी ,थी चंचल कोई कहानी सी |

आँखो मे उसके मस्ती थी,  हर बात पे वो यूँ हँसती थी ,

जून की तेज़ दुपहरी मे, वो बनके बरखा बरसती थी |

हर रोज खुली आँखों पे , वो सपनो को सजाया करती थी ,

एक चेहरा बनाके ख़यालों मे, वो उसे बुलाया करती थी |

लिखती थी एक नाम हथेली पर, फिर उसे मिटाया करती थी,

जाने कैसी लड़की थी वो , जो मिट्टी के महल बनाया करती थी |

प्यार ने तोड़े उसके अरमान सारे, जो वो पलकों पे सजाया करती थी,

वक़्त ने रुलाया उसे बहुत, वो लड़की , जो सबको हंसाया करती थी |

अश्कों से भीगे अपने चेहरे से, ज़ुल्फ़ो को जब वो हटा ती थी ,

सहती थी हर ग़म को वो खुद से ही , पर चेहरे से मुस्कुराती थी |

  

ये दास्तान है एक परी की , जिस पर प्यार का साया था ,

जो टूट गई थी तब से , जब किसी ने उसे ठुकराया था |

मुस्कुराना चाहता हूँ.

आज फिर दिल मेरा उदास है, आज फिर से टूटी हर एक मेरी आस है.
आज फिर से ये आँखे नम है,आज फिर इस दिल को तुझे खोने का गम है.
आज फिर आँसुओ के फसाने निकलेहैं ,मयखाने से मानो पैमाने निकले हैं.
आज फिर से दर्द-ए-तन्हाई है,आज फिर मुझे तेरी कहानी याद आई है.
आज फिर जी भर के रोया हूँ मैं, आज फिर खुदा को मुझ पर हसी आई है.
आज फिर मैं गुम हूँ, गुमसुम हूँ और गुमनाम हूँ,भूला हुआ सा कोई पयाम हूँ.
आज फिर मैं तन्हा हूँ, अकेला हूँ ,गमो से घिरा कोई बादल सरेआम हूँ.
अब तो ऊब चुका हूँ मैं यूँ रोते-रोते,काश साँसे भी छूट जाए सुबह होते-2 .
कोई तो बताए कि मेरी खता क्या है, और इस खता की अब सज़ा क्या है.
आज फिर से मैं उन लम्हो को दोहराना चाहता हूँ ,मैं जानता हूँ की खुशियाँ नही है मेरी किस्मत मे
आज मगर फिर भी, मेरे गमों पर ही सही , मैं मुस्कुराना चाहता हूँ, मुस्कुराना चाहता हूँ..

Dedications.....................

Hellooooooo Friends,
How are you doing?I am sure you must have had a colourful holi this year.My holi was mixed this time. One day was so pleasing and awe-some followed by two very long boring days.Boring because I was all alone at my house and had a awful time really. But the purpose of this blog is not to tell you about my Holi weekend but it is something else.I would say this is not just a blog-post , this time it is a dedicated post . what…..yeh I m telling you .

One of my friend is in germany for last two months and we are missing each other(Am I Right?). Today we were talking to each other (as usual boys talk) and suddenly he started singing a beautiful song from an old blockbuster movie SHOLEY. So I am writing the same song and dedicating it to my dear friend.I could have given you a video link my friends but that would not really work for me, so just read and feel the emotions behind the song.

Yeh dosti hum nahin todenge
Todenge dam magar tera saath na chhodenge
Ae meri jeet teri jeet, teri haar meri haar
Sun ae mere yaar
Tera gham mera gham, meri jaan teri jaan
Aisa apna pyaar
Jaan pe bhi khelenge, tere liye le lenge
Jaan pe bhi khelenge, tere liye le lenge
Sab se dushmani
yeh dosti hum nahin todenge
Todenge dam magar
Tera saath na chhodenge
Logon ko aate hain do nazar hum magar
Dekho do nahin
Arre ho judaa ya khafa ae khuda hai dua
Aisa ho nahin
Khaana peena saath hai
Marna jeena saath hai
Khaana peena saath hai
Marna jeena saath hai
Saari zindagi
Yeh dosti hum nahin todenge
Todenge dam magar tera saath na chhodenge.




There is one more song which I want to dedicate to all my friends.This one is the theme song of FRIENDS beautifully sung by Rembrandts. I am dedicating this song to my friends Samridhi, Sanyam,Divya,Nitin,Gurpreet,Himanshu,Snigdha,Gunjan,and all those people who have come to my life and made it so beautiful.

I'll be there for you, cause you're there for me too.

So no one told you life was going to be this way.
Your job's a joke, you're broke, you're love life's DOA.
It's like you're always stuck in second gear,
Well, it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year.

But, I'll be there for you, when the rain starts to pour.
I'll be there for you, like I've been there before.
I'll be there for you, cause you're there for me too.

You're still in bed at ten, the work began at eight.
You've burned your breakfast, so far, things are going great.
Your mother warned you there'd be days like these,
But she didn't tell you when the world has brought you down to your knees.

That, I'll be there for you, when the rain starts to pour.
I'll be there for you, like I've been there before.
I'll be there for you, cause you're there for me too.

No one could ever know me, no one could ever see me.
Seems like you're the only one who knows what it's like to be me.
Someone to face the day with, make it through all the rest with,
Someone I'll always laugh with, even at my worst, I'm best with you.

It's like you're always stuck in second gear,
Well, it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year.

But, I'll be there for you, when the rain starts to pour.
I'll be there for you, like I've been there before.
I'll be there for you, cause you're there for me too.

HOLI... A Festival Of Colour Of LOVE......

Hi Folks,
Wish u a very happy and colourful HOLI. Holi is such a beautiful festival undoubtedly the most fun-filled and boisterous of Hindu festival. It's an occasion that brings in unadulterated joy and mirth, fun and play, music and dance, and, of course, lots of bright colors. Squirting colored water on passers-by, dunking friends in mud pool amidst teasing and laughter, getting intoxicated on bhaang and reveling with companions is perfectly acceptable. In fact, on the days of Holi, you can get away with almost anything by saying, "Bura Na Mano Holi Hai!”. Holi is the occasion to forget your hatred and accept everyone as friend; it is the day when heart meets with heart.

Although I have not been playing Holi for last 6-7 years but it does not mean that I don’t like this festival. I really love this festival. I started to love this festival when my NANI (grand mother) told me about the immortal love story of RADHA and KRISHNA.She told me that when Krishna complains to her mother about the fairness of Radha tha mother says him to apply colour on the radha’s face and then her complexion will change. From there on we started celebrating Holi as a festival of love. As a child this story had a great influence on me and I was completely mesmerized by the love story of Radha and Krishna.

Every person has his/her good or bad memories of holi like any other festival. I find myself lucky enough that I do not have such bad memories in my life but at the same time life is full of gud sweet old memories with my family and friends. Holi is not an unlikely case. Although I don’t play holi but I have some sweet memories of this festival with me. In my hometown Rajasthan I used to see to things on the ocassion of holi , one was DHAP and the other one is RAAS. These two are very beautiful classical dance styles very famous in those parts but in cities like delhi a very few people know about this.

As I told you that I am a great fan of Kishna I really loved the RAAS (or better word is MAHARAAS) which he did with all the Gopies and her best friend RADHA. I wanted to dance like him. So at one holi we tried to organize a MAHARASS with my Friends and families. Believe you me once it started the whole enviroment was so beautiful that it was giving a such divine feeling. Everybody was dancing with full love and joy. We did not use colour like gulal . abeer etc to play holi that day but colour of love was the only colour which was used to play holi and believe me this can be the only colour to play holi.

This was my favorite holi years back. I would like to quote few lines of that MAHARAAS song which are truly amazing…… I hope u like it and try to play holi with colour of love from next times. Lets hear it………….

Kanha re thoda sa pyar de, charno me baitha ke tar de.
O gori ghooghat utar de, prem ki bhiksha jholi me dar de.
Maya ka tumne rang aisa dala, bandhan me bandh gaya bandhne wala
Now listen this ….. simply divine and celestial……….

Aatma-parmatma k milan ka madhumas hai
Yahi MAHARAAS hai Yahi MAHARAAS hai.
Krishna komal hai Radhe Suhaas hai,
Yahi MAHARAAS hai Yahi MAHARAAS hai.
Shrishti ke Kan Kan me iska aabhaas hai,
Yahi MAHARAAS hai Yahi MAHARAAS hai
Taron me nartan phoolon me ulaas hai,
Yahi MAHARAAS hai Yahi MAHARAAS hai
Murli ki pratidhwani dishaon k pas hai,
Yahi MAHARAAS hai Yahi MAHARAAS hai.

Take care
Uttam Sharma
