This too I write in vain...

[Parastaar]

I wonder if my achy breaky heart brought me to this...that my pen left the structured Urdu...and ran amok with English...the language I ve always loved but discovering Urdu put on the back burner of my writing...

My soul is troubled my heart in pain
I know I write this too in vain
Oft I have met with disillusioment and in tears
How often have I placed happiness in fading gains
I've never learnt, I'll never learn
To hold things by the value of their worth
Sublimal bliss I've never craved
But God can I have some joy without pain?

My heart a fool's heart
My eyes of a blind
I prayed for the joy
That was never mine
Let my love remain unquenched
Let it flow like a river unbound
Over your soul, over your heart
Over your joys, over your cheers

I loved you with my body and my soul
I loved you purely and freehold
I loved you with passion and my grief
I loved you with love that was meant to lose
Happiness ebbed and flowed in my veins
You became the Soverign of my being
Had me attending to your every whim
My love was my day and my night
My love was my treasure and my might

Dull the senses numb the pain
As with the price your departure came
Your happiness for my tears
Your warmth for my frigidity
Your blossoming for my withering
Your brightness as I fade...........

hi paras ji how are u?

mindblowing
aap english mai bhi itna achha likhti hai aaj pata chala ye lines bahut pasand ayee

My soul is troubled my heart in pain
I know I write this too in vain
Oft I have met with disillusioment and in tears
How often have I placed happiness in fading gains
I've never learnt, I'll never learn
To hold things by the value of their worth

My heart a fool's heart
My eyes of a blind
I prayed for the joy
That was never mine
Let my love remain unquenched
Let it flow like a river unbound
Over your soul, over your heart
Over your joys, over your cheers

bas aise hi likhte rahiye
take care
regards

hello paras ji...
this is really nice...
this isnt just a poem...i gues much more than that
words that espaced frm a heart bleeding with pain...
but so much pain??? ...take care of urself

[GKS]

hello Paras ji,
i had read another poem of urs in urdu and in tht i found the passion and touch of magic between two lovers(i dont remember the title if u will give me the link to tht then it will be really nice to read tht again) .although 2day the excruciating pain of seperation came into existence with the end of this poem.
from the birth of a beautiful dream,nurturing it to the extent that the sole reason for our existence becomes its nourishment and to the time of seperation when tht dream considers us no longer his/her companion.
really liked the feeling of selfless love present alive in your words.

Paras di,

The language of a poet changes but the feeling does not... the form of poetry changes but the expressions do not... if thoughts had any barrier then life would not have been so unpredictable...

So let them flow and touch the sky as it did in this poem... kuddos for writing a heart felt poem...

Dull the senses numb the pain
As with the price your departure came
Your happiness for my tears
Your warmth for my frigidity
Your blossoming for my withering
Your brightness as I fade...........

Guru...

paras meri behan

ek makhtalif andaaz ke saath tumhari yeh nasriya tehreer bhi behtreen hai.
tum ne apne ehsaasaat aur jazbaat ko khoob bayaan kiyaa is mein.
lagta hai shayr o adab ke is maidaan mein bhi tum apni shanakht banayo gi.
baherhaal behtree ki gunjaayesh to hamesha rehti hai.
bas tum isi lagan se likhti raho ham parhte rahein ge.

God bless you.

Hello Rohin...

Thanks for your words of encouragement...and also the insight into life's unpredictability...so true...tum jaise bhi mansoobe banaate raho, zindagi wahin se mudhegi jahan se use mudhna hai...circumstances will be will be...que sera sera...it is how you embrace them and what you do with them...to make it the best you can...

[Parastaar]

Arre meri Parul...

maine socha tum gussa thee mere iss kalaam pe...phir bhi tumne jawaab diya...well kuch tau tumhein pasand aa hi gaya ismein bhi...take care of yourself...

yeh gaana tau nahin suna lekin...sukhwinder singh ka gaaya yeh gaana aap sun naa...very nice lyrics...album ka naam hai Dewaanapan

kamli kamli kamli kamli kamli
kyun bante log diwaane
jo ishq kare wo jaane
saari duniya wich kamli kamli...

bus yahi baat hai...ishq ki har baat hi niraali hai...take care
