Poetry

Poetry is something that resonates with my every breath and most of the time, most of those less ordinary observations about the presence of People and Nature around me end up being written in my diary with beautiful expressions of my heart and unparalleled power of emotions. Most of the time, I write poems in Hindi and Gujarati (my mother tongue), and at times, I don't mind writing in English as well but can't describe how horrible I can be while writing a poem in English. 

I generally write poems on various things such as the beauty of Nature and how the shadows of this beauty are reflected in humans, how truly a person can love another person and still remain silent holding so much unexpressed, motivation and loneliness. 

• Most humans have kept at least one wish that they want to be fulfilled once they are gone which is some kind of legacy. Primates, earlier human civilizations, and to a larger extent even today's civilizations have wanted to leave their legacy through the lives of their offspring. Many, in positions of power and control have decided to leave their legacy through religious expression, culture, and institutions they create. Ever since we started learning to speak and sell the stories, we decided to tell the stories as our legacy. This legacy, both in its explicit and implicit form, has inspired many to seek the truth and leave lesser explored truth for others to wander on. This poem through the hindi word "विरासतें" meaning legacies is aimed to describe what is it as its core for an individual. It talks about the legacy one should aspire to make so that the notion of legacy can't be kept limited to just one person but rather, it blankets everyone to spread the ideas of efforts and hope.

विरासतें कुछ ऐसी बनाता चलु जिसकी कदर सिर्फ मुझको ना रहे...,

वक़्त भले ही मुझको कमजोर बनाता जाए पर यादें मेरी हमेशा अमर रहे...!

लम्हे कुछ ऐसे बांटता चलु जिसकी फ़िक्र सिर्फ मुझको ना रहे...,

वक़्त भले ही खामोश करता जाए मुझको पर आवाज़ मेरी हजारो कानों में गूंजती रहे...!

बातें कुछ ऐसी कहता चलु जिसकी चिंगारी सिर्फ मुझमें ही जलती ना रहे...,

वक़्त भले ही हवा ना दे पाए उस चिंगारी को पर वो हिम्मत की अग्नि लाखो दिलों में सुलगती रहे...!

कमजोरियाँ खुद की कुछ ऐसे हराता चलु जिसकी आदत सिर्फ मेरी ही ना रहे...,

वक़्त भले ही कठिनाइयों से भर जाए पर वक़्त को पीछे छोड़ने का जूनून हर और छाया ही रहे ...!

अकेलापन कुछ ऐसे रंगो से भर दु जिसकी मुस्कराहट सिर्फ मेरी ही ना रहे...,

वक़्त भले ही अनजान रास्तों पर अकेला छोड़ दे मुझे पर अनेक उम्मीदों को राह दिखने की ख़ुशी मेरे चेहरे पर हमेशा महकती रहे...!
