Mirror or Mirage?

A journey in self-discovery about me... about life...about what it means to be... what it means to be happy... and what it means to be alive. Are we really living our lives? Come and explore - reality awaits.

Dil Dhoond Rahaa Hai

Dil dhoond rahaa hai ek sawaal ka jawaab
Par na soch kaam aaye, na guru, na kitaab

Kal tak toh lagaa tha
Ke tanhaayee baDgayi hai shaayad
Lekin agarr dil khud hee tanhaayee ko dhoonde
Phir tanhaayi se kya shikkaayad

Tanhaa honaa koi gunna toh nahin
Tanhaa rehnaa bhi ek kalaa hai
Kyun ke tanhaayee mein rehkar hee
Insaan khud se millaa hai

Leykin tanhaayee ki ek khataa hai huzurr
Tanhaayee mein kahin istarhaa na khojaayein
Ke khud ki pehchaan na rahe
Aur hum khud ko hi dhoondte rehjaayein

Insaan toh akhsar bheed mein khojaataa hai
Leykin aaj kal toh tanhaayee mein bhi kho behtTe hain khud ko hum
Chaahe paas aarahi khushi ke pehmaaney ho
Yah phir tarapte tanhaayi bharre sitamm

Phir bhi bheed se ziaadaa
Toh tanhaayee lagti hai pyaari
Kamse kam tanhaayee mein chaahe kuchh aur kyun na dikhe
Par dikhti zaruur hai apni parchaayee

Sabh kuchh saaf dikhrahaa hai
Aainaa bangayaa hai yeh tanhaa saffar
Khud ko dhoondne nikli thi mein
Har mod par mein milli mujhse, anjaan, bey-khabbar.

    Awesome! Such a lovely follow up to the previous one!

    Also the title reminds me of the song Bheed mein tanhayee mein...

    But too much of soul searching does leave one confused at times... those are the times I come back to being my materialistic best/(worst?)

    Tanhaee is the ultimate eventuality
    - one can run and hide in bunch of friends
    - one can get lost in the bheed of ppl around
    - one can drown in the noise of life

    but every one is essentially alone...

    Waah ..
    "tanhaayee mein rehkar hee
    Insaan khud se millaa hai"
    very nice line ..
    Very deep!

    Ek sher yaad gaya Meena Kumari ka ..
    zindagi kya issi ko kehte hain
    jism tanha hai aur jaan tanha.

    Looking forward to more ..

    @Anshul,

    Thanks! :) Glad you enjoyed it!

    @Casa,

    So true, at times too much introspection can leave one confused... but generally, I think given the pace of our lives, we hardly do engage in the level of introspection we could if we really wanted to enjoy this mystery and life's mysterious ways...:)
