Ye Jindagi Ek Premgeet Hai!

ये जिंदगी एक प्रेमगीत है ।
माना अब गा रहा इसे पंकज उधास है ।
कभी ये जगजीत सिंग की मीठी ग़ज़ल हुआ कराती थी ।
जब उनकी किलकिलाहट से हमारी सुबह हुआ कराती थी ।

हां अब बिरह की काली रात चल रही है ।
मन के सागर में यादों की सैलाब चल रही है ।
शायद ये तांडव प्रेमगीत नही हो सकता
पर मौसम हमेशां ही तो बरबाद नही रहता ।

ढल जायेंगे जुदाई के बादल
और आसुओं की बारिश भी रुक जायेगी ।
बस वो मुस्कुरादे एक बार, हरियाली फिर लौट आएगी।
जिंदगी फिर से एक प्रेमगीत बन जायेगी |


OK, so that was it! My first poem on this blog! And yes please ignore the grammar. I can't really write Hindi that well.

This poem started from one of my friend's Gmail status line which I thought was really sad. But more than sad it was pessimistic. Yes luck matters and some really shitty things happen to us, but sometimes how you look at it is more important then how it is.

I believe in hope. Yes I am a hopeless romantic.

  1. brilliant stuff mate...usually, i do not understand or even begin to comprehend poems or poetry...but i actually read this one with interest just to understand the viewpoint.....

    i felt this is ur dig on shweta's gtalk status???:
    "jis kavi ki kalpana mein
    zindagi ho premgeet
    us kavi ko aaj tum nakaar do"

    its just serves as a curtain raiser of the realities of life, i feel...and mainly, its a dig at the musshyy musshy romance that bollywood currently showcases aka SRK, YRF, Dharma prod...........

  3. I didn't read the poem :P

    however understood what you trying to implement...I second whatever chirag pointed out..having said that here is my view ....term 'preemgeet' meaning all goody goody and nice.....we not giving up on prem part there :P anyways by saying so 'zindagi' can be bitchy too and not always nice...its not losing hope..in fact that is when the hope builds in when life becomes really bitchy to you :) ..more than sad its real i guess or may be practical

    Yes sometimes Zindagi is horrible, but most of the time it's not really that bad. And if you have friends and family who love you, Bad bhi Good ban jata hai.

    The real relationships get stronger in bad times. Aur agar thumahare paas 'apano ka pyaar' hai to 'Jindagi Ek Premgeet Hai...'

    Anyways I was just trying to bug you :-P

    @Chirag

    What's wrong with "musshyy musshy romance" films by SRK, YRF, Dharma...? I like them! They are "nice"!

  6. another thing, since i have not seen gulal and dont know the context of the line i read it as ...

    "jis kavi ki kalpana mein
    zindagi ho,... premgeet
    us kavi ko aaj tum nakaar do"

    :P

    but now i get it the pause is after premgeet :D

  13. I found it somewhere and thought that i should post it...just because its funny :)

    There was once a young man who, in his youth, professed a desire to become a great writer. When asked to define "great" he said: I want to write stuff that the whole world will read, stuff that people will react to on a truly emotional level, stuff that will make them scream, cry, wail, howl in pain, desperation, and anger!"

    He now works for Microsoft, writing Excel error messages.

    LOL funny....


    I hope that doesn't happen with me. But even if it happens then probably I would be programming an application which almost everybody in the world has to use. So I guess the money part won't be that bad ;-)
