"Not everyone thinks the way you think,
knows the things you know,
believes the things you believe,
nor acts the way you would act,
Remember this
and you will go a long way
in getting along with people."

फिर से दिवाली आयी है

फिर से दिवाली आयी है,

फिर बाज़ार में रौनक छायी है,

फिर माँ दीये जलायेंगी,

फिर पापा सीरीज़ लगायेंगे,

फिर से दिवाली आयी है,

फिर रातें दिन से ज़्यादा रौशन हो जायेगी,

फिर घर आँगन में रंगोली सजेगी,

फिर किचन से घी कि खुशबू हर कमरे में फैल जायेगी,

फिर से दिवाली आयी है,

फिर नए कपड़ों कि महक मन को बहलायेगी,

फिर नन्हे शैतान पटाखे-फुलझड़ी जलायेंगे,

फिर पकवान और तोहफे ख़ुशियाँ लायेंगे

लफ्ज़-ओ-अल्फाज़

कुछ खयाल और कुछ हक़ीक़त मिलते हैं जमाने में,

हम बयान करते हैं उन्हें अपने रह-ओ-रस्म से अफसाने में,

ग़ुल-ए-बाज़ार में महकता है हर इक गुलाब जैसे,

शाम-ओ-सुबह चलती है हमारी ये कलम वैसे,

नज़्म-ओ-मज़मून या कभी कभार साज़-ओ-तराने में,

उम्मीद है निगार हो इस मुसंफा के ज़खीरा-ए-अल्फाज़ में,

मुख्तलिफ ज़बान में लिखने कि आज़माइश करते हैं,

रहमत हो ख़ुदा कि तो पेश करते रहेंगे नई मोसिकि कयी बार ||

अपने  रह-ओ-रस्म - my way, ग़ुल-ए-बाज़ार - market of roses, नज़्म - poetry, मज़मून - article, निगार - beautiful, मुसंफा - writer, ज़खीरा-  storage, मुख्तलिफ - various, ज़बान - languages, आज़माइश - trial, मोसिकि - composition

Do not look back and grieve over the past, for it is gone; and do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come. Live in the present, and make it so beautiful that it will be worth remembering.

Purnima

Purnima or the Full moon day is considered auspicious in Hindu calendar. Since time immemorial, Hindus have believed that the fortnightly cycle of the moon exerts a great influence on the human anatomy just as it affects the water bodies on earth resulting in tides and ebbs. Devotees fast on this day to get their wishes fulfilled. 

Not only does it have a religious importance, but Purnima has a little more to do with the human fate. I read somewhere, a long time back, on the full moon day the gravitational force of moon towards the earth, is at its highest. Eventually your deeds and thoughts of this day are more likely to materialize and become true. Hence, on this day one must have only positive thoughts in mind and your thoughts shall become things! 

Happy Sharad Purnima. God Bless All.
