ghazal in punjabi by kapil anirudh

Kapil Anirudh

मित्रो पंजाब के प्रवास ने सहज ही पंजाबी में लिखने की प्रेरणा दी है। दो दिन पूर्व कुछ स्फुरणा हुई और कुछ लिखा गया । उसी स्फुरणा के कुछ अंश प्रस्तुत कर रहा हूँ।

 छुपके चुपके मार उडारी तोड़ गगन दे तारेयां नूँ
अन्दरो अंदरी नच्ची गाईं गुमसुम लब्बी सारेयां नूँ

मार छलांगां जित लै जा के उच्ची टीसी तूँ सजना
 वेख सकेंगा उत्थे जा के जग दे जित्तु हारेयाँ नूँ

अपना दीबा आपूं बन के रोशन कर दे राहां तूँ
तूँ की करना बाजीगरां दे झूठे सच्चे लारेयाँ नूँ

लिख सकना ताँ लिख लै मन ते उस दा सच्चा नाँ कापिल
छड्ड दे हत्थ विच्च पकडे बैनर भुल्ल जा सारे नारेयाँ नूँ

The bright and Shiny Life - an article by Surbhi Kesar

Life they say is not going to be bright and shiny.  Troubles are going to come. And not just come but charge on you with all their might. Matters what, is the shield you have to protect yourself, mainly an emotional and mental shield. A shield strong enough to take all impacts so that you are not wounded. We all might think it’s impossible since as the impact happens, it’s pitiful state so we try to hide, forgetting about the shield that we have. An all encompassing shield and once you have realized the true strength of that shield, that’s when miracles being to happen. Miracles that happen all the time but our eyes are not too sharp to catch them. The sun that shines every morning devouring the dark, every night the sun triumphs after a long battle is nothing but a miracle. Every morning when the birds chirrup and that smile it gets on an early dawn seeing them play with a climber, no matter what blocks your mind, trust me it’s miraculous how that teeny tiny bird makes you forget all the troubles for a small second. The trees that rustle and sway alike in loo, a breeze and cold wind, as if accepting all  that comes to it with the same spirit of acceptance. Think again and it’s miraculous! A little kid walking down the street giggles at you and you just forget all and smile back. No connection but just enough to call for that little silver lining around the dark cloud. The silver linings, the miracles, the gestures are always there, only that we never realize that we had the shield of these emotions which can always save us from the impact. So don’t blame the shield if you don’t know how to use it. Don’t blame him when you can’t see how he is always there, just right there. How when and where he comes and offers you help through someone’s hand, someone’s smile, someone’s chirrup, someone’s acceptance, teaching you the greatest of lessons of life, you have no idea. He creates miracles in every day you live. Don’t blame him if you can’t see it.

Life they say is not all bright and shiny or who knows life is all just bright and shiny.
