11. Need.

One has Money, needs Esteem
One has Esteem, needs Money
One has both, craves for Peace
O my Boy! What an Irony

One has Hunger, needs Food
One has Food, needs Hunger
One has both, wants to be served
O my Boy! What a Satire

One has Penny, wanna make Pound
One has Pound, can’t spend a Penny
One does both, still hunts for Joy
O my Boy! What an Irony

One has Shelter, needs Family
One has Family, needs Shelter
One has both, seeks Aloofness
O my Boy! What a Satire

Sometimes, life is taken as comedy
While, at times it’s all a tragedy
One day it all comes to an end
O my Boy! What a Parody

Suchit Comments -
The bard does not care,
For those who have neither,
Strange are miseries of fate,
But still does not make me any wiser!!

Dilip adds -
Besides there is one, who has neither
Thirsty is he for both, at least either…
Seldom found, who is happy with zero
I believe, he turns out to be the real hero

Suchit replies -
The real hero is the one,
Who has both but craves neither,
The world may be at his feet,
But its freedom that he is after!!

Dilip continues -
Having not having is all the same
Own and possess is all insane
Real hero is free and transcended
the body, heart, mind and brain

4. In this world...

In this (material) world...

Nothing is ever better than bad
Happiness is being relatively less sad
Still I wait for being completely happy
Can I be called, anything else than mad?

2. What am I waiting for?

In each moment, there is life and more
Go ahead and live it fully therefore
Smile, be happy and add to the score
Remember, there is infinite in the store

What am I waiting for? What am I waiting for?

All that comes along do accept and adore
Always have positive thoughts in the fore
Negative if appear kick’em off the backdoor
Think big, act bigger, target for a crore (slang for 10 million)
Think big, act bigger, target for the core

What am I waiting for? What am I waiting for?

Inside the ocean, there is a lot to explore
Don’t spend time wandering on the shore
Use to the fullest, body mind and the lore
Live a life that doesn’t turn out to be a bore

What am I waiting for? What am I waiting for?

5. Mujhe aisi jagah le jao (?).

Dilip exhibits his hypocrisy by writing -

Mujhe aisi jagah le jao…
Jaha naa ho cell, internet na ho email
Naa koi raftaar – bike gaadi na rail…
Naa koi bhaag daud, na koi jhanjhat
naa ye badi duniya, jo waakai me hai jail (well, jail lagti nahi hai wohi taklif hai :()

Mujhe aisi jagah le jao…
Jaha ho keval sacche anand ka khel
Khud aur Khuda ka ho aisa taal mel
Aisa jo jeevan ho, wohi saarthak hai
Warna is paribrhaman me, ek aur bhav fail :(

Mujhe aisi jagah le jao..
Jaha ant ho jaaye is bhav bhraman ka khel

Suchit replies with an eye-opener

Mat ro magar-machh ke aasoon,
Nahi hai tere til mein koi tel,

Daal-bhaat ki baat kya kare,
Tujhe chahiye sirf pizza aur bhel,

Badalnaa hai to yahi khud ko badal,
Warna kahegi duniya tujh ko bail.(bull)

Tujhe kidhar nahi jaane milega,
Kyo ki jaa kar tu banega bandar with tail !!

Thank you Suchit :)

4. Ferrari & Mumbai.

There was this guy who would tell
If I have Ferrari, life will be all well
He got one and in its love he fell
joy didn’t last long, soon he had to yell
cos after a driving attempt in Mumbai
the only option he had was to sell

3. Dil se...

Bande ko hona hai safal har kaam me
Usey chahiye har cheez waajib daam me
Uski khushi hai keval paise aur naam me
Dikhna hai usko sab se alag, avaam me

Iske liye, bhaagta hai wo, jee jaan se
dartaa nahi, bhook pyaas aur thakaan se
ek hi prarthana karta hai wo bhagwaan se
Jeeni hai usko poori zindagi aaraam se

'aaraam' shabd reh jaata hai jubaan pe
jaagta hai wo zindagi ki aakhri shaam pe
lutaa di poori zindagi, jis haseen anjaam pe
hoth bhi nahi pahuchte, bhare hue us jaam pe

ye sab baatein likhni bahut aasaan hai
kitaaben bhar ke shunya ka saamaan hai
us 'ek' ki khoj hi keval parinaam hai
baaki, zindagi jeyo na jeyo, sab samaan hai

------------------------------------------

Khud ki taarif karte hue apna ye bayaan hai...

Baat sirf faayde aur nuksaan ki nahi…
Baat sirf raah aur makaam ki nahi…
Jo baat dil se nikle usme hi mazaa hai…
Baaki to koi bhi baat kisi kaam ki nahi…

3. Purpose.

All my life, I have strived
to turn in pink, that was blue
First, I tore my life apart
And then I attempted to sew

In the midst of all, I failed
To live those moments few
Which were rare and precious
Couldn’t be bargained in Lieu

Time to live up will come later,
That will be way different & new
All that mattered was running hard
dreaming of pink & making it true

Alas! Running came to an end
The only conclusion I then drew
blue or pink didn’t matter
until I realized Why did I live?

2. Dincharya (Daily Routine).

Subah uthte ki Aaj Tak pe dhamaal
Aur phir Red FM pe Malishka ka kamaal

Sho-sha kartey hue bike pe 6 km ka safar
Tez raftaar se, 15 minute pe office me enter

Bombay times pe gossip ki bahaar
Chai tapri pe IT Industry ke samachaar

Waha se lautke ke karo mail-a-maili khoob
Kaam ke sivaa har cheez me jaao doob

Itne me bajti pet me bhookh ki ghanti tin-tin
Lunch ke liye sidhe pahuchna canteen

Post-lunch karna aankhen khol ke aaram
Kuch hi der me bajta 4 baje ka Tea-Alarm

Chai pe samay phir wahi chatar-patar
Aur plans banana, kya karege jaake ghar

Kuch plan naa bhi bane to doston se milna
Idhar-udhar ki baatein aur sadko pe khaana peena

Phir ghar aake TV Phone aur Internet me khona
Late night tak jaagke, complete thak se sona

2. Fun.

in the quiets of wellington
under bright and shining sun
my thoughts take me on a ride
making me feel, life is fun

although, desire is to return
to the place where life begun,
nothing should stop me from livin
this moment, which'll neva come

may continue, if i feel like... :)

1. Within.

How do I define lose and win?
Where do I end and where begin?
All that I have done all my life
How do I categorize in merit and Sin?

Most of the times, I choose not to lean
The way I wish and feel, I should be seen
I want to be selfish and still think about
Entire world turning to be pink and green

What I do crave for & from the outer world
Isn’t that already very much within?

3. Best Day.

Best day of my life is yet to come.
I expect it as no worries & just fun.

Day and night, relentlessly I run
So as to achieve, all that I yearn

I feel, with all money that I earn
I’ll buy everything under the sun

Once I have all in my possession
I start feeling I am the complete one

But new longing has already begun
Status has changed back to ‘none’

Why do I turn my life into pun?
When I can happily survive with bun

Living in present is the best option
Hence, today is the best day to reckon

1. Rishtaa.

Dilip Says:

Koi mujhe bataye……
Roti aur Bhookh ka kya hai rishtaa..
Pyaar aur Jism ka kya hai naata…
Paise se Khushi kaise hai milti
Dimaag pe dil ki kyon nahi chalti?

Suchit Says:

Roti khaye toh bhookh jaaye,
Jism ke maadhyam se aadmi pyaar paaye,
Paise karo kharch toh khushi milegi,
Dil ko aaye attack toh dimaag ki bhi chalegi

8. Talaash.

aaj kya kuch nahi hai mere paas
phir bhi rahi adhuri ye pyaas
kuch naya paane ke hai khwaab
hardin harpal badhti hai aas

aaj bhi hai mujhe...
...kisi cheez ki talaash

daudte bhaagte phool jaaye saans
rukna mujhe kabhi naa aaye raaz
paa kar sab hota dil baag baag
kho jaye kuch, ho jaata naraaz

aaj bhi hai mujhe...
...kisi cheez ki talaash

bhugatne ka samay hota barbaad
jama karne me juta, dil-o-dimaag
aise hi guzarte mahine aur saal
phir bhi dil se nikalti ek awaaz

aaj bhi hai mujhe...
...kisi cheez ki talaash

sab kuch haasil karne ke baad
gar kuch sadaa rehta janaab
naa hota dukhi naa koi sukhi
dukh ke ant pe hota sukh ka aaghaaz....

ye sab sochkar bhi, samay kar raha hun naash
kyonki, aaj bhi hai mujhe...kisi cheez ki talaash

6. Ego - A Verse.

There is this 3 letter word, EGO
That doesn’t let me freely flow
Each time I feel like learning
Dear EGO says, I know, I know

It doesn’t allow me to Bow
Neither does it let me grow
It always makes me stop
Whenever I want to go

Should I blame EGO or no?
Am I not the one, who did sow?
I am not ego but Ego is mine
This is something I did follow

But the reality is written below
I am ego and that’s the blow
If I experience this, there is a scope
To turn it off or at least make it low

PS:

Though reality (I am EGO) is not the ultimate truth, it’s realizing that I have always felt within that “I am EGO” but always pretended that EGO is mine and hence have always ignored thinking it as a 3rd party. This realization ultimately might lead to analyzing that I am not EGO but something else, which is a mystery for me as I am incomplete and so cannot comment further.

Last but not least, Thank you so much Suchit for your apt inputs, although haven't yet framed all of them.

2. Pain and Pleasure.

Before every Pleasure, there lies a Pain.
Hence people rightly say, No Pain, No Gain.

There are times when the Pain is full of Strain
While at times, it’s like a smooth terrain

Pain seems to be depressing if I use my brain
Heartily, Pleasure without pain is simply vain

I feel, Pain is a seed and Pleasure is the grain
In absence of Pain, value of joy doesn’t retain

Accepting the Pain ought to be the task main
Followed by enjoying the Pleasure again and again

Initially, I thought of replacing Enjoying with Accepting in the last line but then I kept as it is.

4. Phir Subah Hogi (?).

Subah se lekar raat tak, chalna aur bhaagna
So jaana yah soch ke, ki phir Subah hogi

Agle din phir bhaagna, girna aur sambhalna
Wohi raftaar, wohi umeed, ki phir Subah hogi

Paiso ke peeche lagke, din bhar ka tadapna
Karna hai wo kal karege kyon ki phir Subah hogi

Is samay zaroori hai, dhan kamaana, kuch ban-na
Sukh to tab bhugtege jab kal phir Subah hogi

Doston aur Parivar ka to yahin hai thikaana
Khub nibhaayege rishtey jab phir Subah hogi

Aatmavishwas ki parakashta hai dil ko behlaana
Jivanbhar saare Jivan ki aas me kya phir Subah hogi?

2. Patience (A 4-Liner).

Samay se pehle aur Naseeb se jyaada kuch nahi milta
Phir bhi sadaa chahiye mujhe, chutki bajate hi safalta
Mehnat karne se pehle, hai Fal prapti ki chanchalta
Vartmaan ko kho kar, sapno me hai mann machalta

9. Where?

Where is the home, I would love to stay?
Where is the temple, I would love to pray?
Where is the line, I would love to say?
Where is the tune, I would love to play?

Where is the floor on which I would love to lay?
Where is the food to put on a tray?
Where are the shades other than gray?
Where are the nights that seem like a day?

7. Hunger.

Sometimes 1 question makes me wonder
Why do I have so much of hunger?

hunger for name, hunger for fame
hunger to win each and every game

hunger for sex like a forest fire
hunger to fulfill each burning desire

hunger for food and all that taste
hunger to turn every edible into waste

hunger for fragrance that turns me pink
hunger to kill my sweats that stink

hunger for witnessing beauty and splendor
hunger to get rid of stuff which is horror

hunger for listening soothing music around
hunger to avoid what I feel is a bad sound

altering the question that made me wonder
doesn’t really make me feel better
still I would go ahead and ask my self
To put an end to all hungers; is there a hunger?

6. Khayal.

khayalon ka bhi ek jahaan hai
is pal yahin hai, phir wahaan hai
kabhi chalte khud ke saath hai
to kabhi saath me karvaan hai

khubsurat sa apna aashiyan hai
jisme saari aadhunik suvidha hai
peeche choti si ek nadiya hai
aur aage pyari si bagiya hai

ghumne ke liye saari duniya hai
ek jahaaz, darzan gaadiyan hai
aish hi aish chal rahi hai kyonki
koi poochne waala kahaan hai

saari kalaon me hum khaan hai
har taraf apni waah waah hai
apni hasti hi kuch aisi hai
hum mehmaan aur jag mezbaan hai

hum chahe to din me chandrama hai
apne ek ishaare pe badle sama hai
chahe ho swarg kitna bhi dur par
hum soche aur bas, wo yahaan hai

arre bhai, ye sab to ek kalpana hai
khayaalon se khush hoke lautna hai
phir apne jeevan me vyast hoke
wahi ghar,kaam aur wahi khaana hai

kya in khayalon pe sirf hasna hai?
kya is bhanwar me keval fasna hai?
ek aur khayal gaur karne layak hai
kshanik, har dukh aur khushiyan hai
