Papa,kya likhun main aapke bare me jin hathon ne in pairon ko chalna sikhaya jinki chanv me khud ko badhta hua paya jinhe dekh dekh jindagi ka mayna samajh me aya khud ki khushiyon ko tak pe rakh humare liye wo jeete marte hain shayad humari ek khushi ki jhalak se hi wo apne sab dukh bhul jate hain wo is bhag daud ki naukari me hume waqt nahi de pate hain shayad wo bhi kanhi kuch palon ko churakar humare sath jindagi jeena chahte hain phir kyon maa ke pyar ke age unka pyar pheeka pad jata hai shayad unka pyar jatane ka tarika hai alag jo hume kabhi samajh nahi ata hain -Ashish Lahoti  June 19th 2011  (  Father's Day  )

unhe dekha pahli bar to dekhta hi raha gaya unke sath jindagi nibhane ke sapne sanjota gaya unhe to khabar bhi na thi mere ishq-e-ikarar ki main apni hi dhun me badhta chala gaya waqt gujarata gaya rang pyar ka gaharata gaya is intzar me na jane kitne khwab banata gaya jis shiddat se chaha tha use utani mannate ki main apne taraf ka pyar nibhata chala gaya phir aya ek din wo bhi jab ishq-e-izhhar hua jab mere dil ka dard ek khuli kitab hua laga diya unhone mujhe apne ashiqon ki line me mera izhhar to jaise ek majaak ho gaya  o yaron sambhalo mujhko ke jeena mushkil ho gaya unke aise bartav se main gamgeen ho gaya nahi kar sakta jurrat tujhe bhul pane ki ki ab har saans me teri or sirf teri hi yad hai [Ashish Lahoti]  May 27th,2011 :(

English version of my poem "छोटा था तो अच्छा था !" I still remember, the days of my childhood, The innocence and truth, The laughter, the attention, the life of carelessness, those were the days of my youth. When crying and weeping were my leverages, To get any sweets, any beverages When I used to fake a headache to miss my school, When my toys were enough to me to look cool. I remember those days, when we used to cry On mother dearest every small fry, When she used to pick me up then in a bit, That sense of gratification, the bliss. When waiting for dad was a pain everyday, For the facade of studying was worth the pay, When my brother was the best partner in crime, When we covered our sister dearest everyday in slime. Then came the friends, the groups , the games, Along with the fights, the joys, the flames, Those days are now gone far behind, But at my heart, I am still a child. (Translated by : prateek saxena)

जो  कभी  कह  कर  गए  थे  तुम जैसे लाखों मिल  जायेंगे बाजार  में वही आज ना जाने क्यों हमारे कंधे पर सर रखकर रो रहे हैं |

Through this poem, i tried to project the meaning of 'LIFE' with different perspectives,objects.Hope you'll like it.. jindagi kya hai,rishton ka janjal jisse jitna dur bhagna chahta hun,utna hi apne pas pata hun jitna bhi samajhne ki koshish karta hun,utna hi ulajh jata hun jindagi kya hai,waqt ki gulam jab chahta hun usse dur bhag jana,wo har saans me mere sath rahti hai jab chahta hun kuch or jeena,wo har roj meri umar kam kar deti hai jindagi kya hai,rangmanch ka tamasha jisme hansna hai to rona bhi hai,ruthna hai to manana bhi hai jisme pyar-dosti ka vada hai to dushmani nibhana bhi hai jindagi kya hai,samudra ki lahar ya phir ret wo jitna shor or ufaan lekar ati hai utni hi shaant laut jati hai us ko jitna pakadne ki koshish karo,utni hi chutti chali jati hai jindagi kya hai,mad ka pyala jitna peena chahta hun,utna hi chalak jata hai ek jaam to humesha kam pad jata hai jindagi kya hai,ye aaj bhi raj hai pata nahi kab koi iske asli maksad ko samaj

एक छोटी सी पेशकश मेरी तरफ से मुझसे  खफा होकर तुम  कंहा जाओगे  ,मेरी वफ़ा को ऐसे कैसे भुलाओगे मैं तो वो अक्स हूँ तेरी चिलमन का, बंद आँखों में भी हमे ही पाओगे --आशीष लाहोटी    २४-मार्च-११ एक आशा रात है आगोश में लेने को ,कुछ अनबुने ख्वाबों की सौगात लाएगी  |  क्या हुआ गर कल नहीं था अपना ,फिर एक नयी सुबह आयेगी  | -आशीष लाहोटी      ३०-मार्च -११ तन्हाई  वो फिर आयेगी एक बार दिल को ये समझा रहे हैं ,दर्दे तन्हाई में बस यूंही बीते जा रहे हैं | -आशीष लाहोटी     ७-अप्रैल-११

वो आए  इस कदर  हमारी जिंदगी में ,की तन्हा दिल का मंजर  बन गए जो लब हमारे सिल गए थे शायद ,उन लबों के वो शब्द बन गए जिंदगी कितनी हसीन है ,अब आया था समझ में हकीकत हुए वो आज ,जो कभी थे सपने पर इस ज़माने की बेदर्दी देखो ,वो ना समझ पाए इस रिश्ते को आज हम फिर से तन्हा हैं और फिर उसी की तलाश है | -आशीष लाहोटी     २७-मार्च-११
