हम मजबूर हैं।
इसिलिए तो,
हमारे चाहने वाले,
हमसे दूर हैं॥

उनकी और मेरी पहली मुलाकात थी
दो दिलों के जुडने की शुरुआत थी
न जाने कैसे अनजाने डर की बरसात थी
खुदा की अदालत में मुझे अपना बनाने की शायद उनकी दर्ख्वास्त थी

ऐसी मुलाकात पहली नहीं थी उनकी, शायद
प्यार के सपने पहले भी बुन चुकी थी वो,शायद
अजीब कसमकस थी चेहरे पे उनके, शायद
इम्तिहान की घड़ी थी मेरी, शायद

होठों पर कुछ था कहने को
पर आँखों मे एक डर था उनके , शायद
कुछ था अतीत उनका जो चुभ रहा था
पर दिल मेरे संग भविष्य के सपने बुन रहा था, शायद

आंखें उनकी नम थी, शायद बुरा था वो साया
जीवन में पहली बार, वो मोती मुझे ना भाया
एकाएक उनके होठों की हरकत हुई
मेरे कानों को उनके प्रश्न की बरकत हुई

क्या तुम्हें प्रतीत है, मेरा एक अतीत है
झूठ बोलकर चाहती नहीं हुं पाना
सच कहकर नहीं है तुमको खोना

आंखों में आंखें थी, शायद उन्हें उत्तर की थी दरकार
पर न जाने क्यूँ हमारे बीच, चुप्पी रही बरकरार
न जाने मेरी चुप्पी मेरी गलती थी
या उन्हें जवाब की जल्दी थी

कहने लगी जाते जाते
चाहती हूं तेरे संग करना अपना सपना पूरा
मैंने भी हाथ थाम गले लगाया और समझाया
"दाग बिना चांद अधुरा"

आने से पहले उनके,
सुनसान थी जिदंगी।
जाने बाद उनके,
शमशान हो गई है जिदंगी॥

"Was I so imperfect for you?" I cried.
"Nah!, you are my bestie" she exclaimed.
That was what she said in front of all, but was fake from all inside.

What the hell that day was! It's memories still hurt me. They tear my soul deeply, beneath my patience and till today I am boldly accepting them.
That day, 8 years of friendship was broken down into several uncountable and uncollectible pieces.
"What was the reason? Was I bad? Was I a Savage to her? Was I bad at studies? Did I showed her my attitude?" I kept on lamenting but the reason was simple and straight. She was jealous of my popularly, my patience, my academic activities, my behavior, my companions and everything that was just amazingly good for me. I was simple but she made me complicated. That day I locked myself and cried a lot in the darkness. I thought myself to be so unfortunate.
I didn't curse her but loathed her secretly. Then I started thinking "No, I can't help it. Everything happens for a better reason". I'm so fortunate to have friends at least.

Human beings are in fact
imperfect to love others,
else neither no war
happens, nor the
poor people
yet existed.

Listen, understand, think and make decisions wisely..is what I learned. If you are reading
this now then an advice for you, never make
decisions in a hurry that will always lead you
to a problem. Always try to be calm that's
the key to be happy in an imperfect life.

-

If you are reading this now
then let me tell you,
I have changed.
I am a changed person now
not because everyone said
that change is inevitable,
not because everyone else was
changing and not at all because
of TIME.
I changed because it hurts now
not to be changed.
Now rabbit wins the race,
and crocodile eats the monkey
for trusting him
Fairy Tales do not exist now anymore,
they never did though
but in our mind,
we were child.
Imperfect yet innocent.
I wish we could be
once again,
but oh wait
alas,
I changed.

-

"Can you name the person who is 100% perfect?!"

Place this bet before anyone and
I swear you would be the winner!

Because we are all an imperfect human beings after all!!

-

If you are reading this now, then
You might have realized my pain!
But it's too late
I have learned to live alone!!
