मैं जा रहा हूँ स्कूल फिर से

school corridor
“कमीनों कल स्कूल आ जाना,
क्या करूँगा तुम्हारे बिना स्कूल कॉरिडर पे अकेला खड़ा होके…”

भाड़ में जाए सब कुछ, मैं जा रहा हूँ स्कूल फिर से,
अब नही झेली जाती ऑफीस की झिक-चीक,
घरवालों की खीट-पीट,
मैं चला स्कूल फिर से,
सफेद शर्ट सीला लूँगा, नीली पॅंट तो पहनता ही हूँ वैसे,
छोटे भाई से ले लूँगा टाइ उधार,
काग़ज़ों के जहाज़ बनाने है आज से,
पहली बेंच पे अब नही बैठूँगा मैं,
बॅक बेंचस होंगी मेरा ठिकाना अब से,

पढ़ाई अब नही करूँगा मैं,
ना ही रात भर जगूंगा फ़ॉर्मूला रटके,
किस लिए बर्बाद करूँ स्कूल के प्यारे दिन,
उन चीज़ों पे जिनका कल कुछ सरोकार नही मुझसे,
अब तो बस स्कूल की सीडीयों पे बसेरा होगा,
बाकी बातें लाइब्ररी में बैठके होंगी,
ज़िंदगी से ऐसे सबक मिल चुके हैं के सब टीचर्स से यारी होगी,
रोज़ क्रिकेट मैचेस होंगे, क्लास में अंताक्षरी होगी,



एक तरफ़ा प्यार में अब किसी का दिल टूटेगा नही,
कुछ इस तरह इज़हार-ए-दिल करेंगे की उसको भी हमारी फ़िक्र होगी,
अपना खुद का बॅंड भी बनाना है,
कॉपियों के पिछे चित्रकारी करनी है,
लंच के लिए टीफिन भी तैयार करना है,
पर चाहे कितनी भी छुट्टी की घंटी बजे मुझे घर नही जाना,
मुझे पास होकर बड़ी क्लास में नही जाना,

एक बार स्कूल की चार दिवारी के बाहर जाकर देख चुका हूँ,
यहाँ दोस्त मतलबी बन जाते हैं,
यहाँ दुनियावाले बहुत बुरे बन जाते हैं,
सब कुछ चाहने वालों मेरे हिस्से की कामयाबी भी तुम ही ले लो,
मैं तो चला स्कूल फिर से,
बस इतनी सी इंतेज़ा है अपने स्कूल के यारों से,
कमीनों कल स्कूल आ जाना,
क्या करूँगा तुम्हारे बिना स्कूल कॉरिडर पे अकेला खड़ा होके…

Revenge Of Karma

Demonstration scene
“Rules are rules…”

Standing in a queue at the railway station,
the crowd was pushing each other in frustration,
there was a policeman beating a man with a stick,
I was among the meeks, witnessing this,
the lean man was pleading and his head bleeding,
the cop was ignorant of all the begging,
“Please sir, it’s urgent, my mother is dying,
I need to see her for the last time”,
“that’s your problem, rules are rules, now go
and stand in the line”,

The man was crying, he was on his knees,
“God is watching from above, help me please”,
Everyone was watching but no one dared to speak,
nobody cares until the suffering is about his,
he wiped his tears and saw the face of the “diligent” policeman,
he left with his steps lost in the voices of the common,



Time passed as it has no other option,
my friend was having a knee operation,
sitting in a waiting room of a hospital, I saw a long queue,
after all, this is a democracy of rules made for me and you,
a man rushed through the main door with a kid,
the kid was hurt, unconscious, probably a car-hit,

“Sir please admit my son, he is badly hurt”,
“Wait in line, don’t you see, minister’s wife is having a check,
They probably didn’t remember,
they were the same policeman and the man beaten in the September,
“Sir my kid will die, I beg you”,
“It’s your problem, I am helpless like you”,
“Rules are rules…”

Standing In A Queue

People standing in queue
“Our whole life passed standing in a queue…”

Perhaps this must have happened with everyone and you,
Our whole life passed standing in a queue,
Now, this has become a habit,
Don’t fight, we are born with it,
Standing in a line for the school assembly,
We spend our whole education to high school from nursery,
We finally come out and get lined before the college gate,
Holding the admission forms in the horde of thousands for the same,
Standing in the line of the Delhi Metro,
Buses, railway, and flights, it is the same wherever you go,

Read another poem on Sad Reality of Life: Revenge of Karma



Damn its life! we have to even fight for love,
There are dozens, standing in a line for a girl,
you are nobody where everybody is somebody,
in the populations of millions, you are no better than a doggy,
you get shot and nobody sees you again,
no one talks about you or remembers your name,
the line grows even you live or die,
there is no shortcut you can try,
so don’t fight, you are born with it,
like others soon it will become your habit,
Perhaps this must have happened with me and you,
Our whole life passed standing in a queue…

Be My Valentine

romantic couple sitting together
“You are an idiot but I still like you…”

Sun went into the clouds that day,
wind lightly whispering as leaning to say,
dressed in black blazers, white shirt, and a black tie,
I brushed my hairs twice and gave the gel a try,
then took my bike and headed to the school,
all girls looked at me, they thought I was cool,

With a rose in my hand, I stood up against the wall,
glanced through the crowd that was chirping like birds in the hall,
struck by the girl in the black dress with a delicate accent,
Oh god! I never knew she was that cute and elegant,
Her prettiness was tearing me apart,
I was losing myself, she had already taken my heart,

I gave her a red rose and said “Be my valentine”,
“I have finally lost my heart this time”,
she saw me falling for her,
and said, “You never get serious for any girl”,
she kept the rose on the bench and went away,
I also left for the parking, there was no reason to stay,



I was riding my bike when saw her standing at the gate,
thought to try again but didn’t want my heart to break,
Anyways, I went to her and offered my hand,
“My sweetheart life is like footprints on the sand,
you will never be so beautiful again,
as young I am, neither I will remain the same”,

Sun went into the clouds and winds whispering by,
when she leaned on my shoulders, sitting on a hillside,
she said, “You are an idiot but I still like you”,
you are not what I want but you are you”,
those moments like bubbles met the same end,
she kept her head on my shoulder, holding the rose in the other hand…

Cold War

sad and heartbroken lover
“Perhaps you could have anyone,
but what should do, when I got only you…”

Yeah, it’s true that I did wrong,
shouldn’t have messed up things around,
but now I missing you badly,
there are friends but I am still very lonely,
please end this cold war, my sweet girl,
I am already losing this battle,

I still remember touching your cute face,
sliding away your black silky hair,
how my throat choked talking to you,
didn’t say the things I wanted to,
I still got all your messages,
our love story written in a thousand pages,



I don’t believe when you say you aren’t perfect for me,
my heart beats for you only,
Just tell me what should I do?
I am miserable, everywhere I just see you,

I paid the price for my stubborn attitude,
without you, my life is a never-ending solitude,
Would you ignore my childish issues?
I know there are quite a few,

Now I am a little shy to come near to you,
wouldn’t say that I really need you,
Are you waiting for me to say sorry?
I will even do that if you come back to me,

Perhaps you can have anyone,
but what should I do, when I got only you…
