A Hat for You and A Hat for Me

Safar(सफ़र)
We started the journey(सफ़र)
Of the known and unknown
The day we were born
The day we shook hands with death
And agreed to meet him somewhere in between
Or in the end as he called it
And then spent the life wishing never to see him again
Somewhere in this journey we found ourselves
We lost ourselves
We understood, got confused
And in this journey
we trusted God
we blamed God
Ignoring, avoiding, being indifferent to suffering around
And still hoped and prayed for his mercy
Somewhere in this journey
We became rebels
Stood for values
Fought for one
Agreed with none
Stood up for something’s
And regretted not standing for that one
Somewhere the hope died
Somewhere a new shoot was born
Rainbow failed to show up
Sun peeked through heavy clouds
Somewhere in this journey we found love
Lost it, all heart broken
To be filled with love and warmth again
Or may be never
Some rivers found their oceans
Some lost their route or the zest
Somewhere in the journey
Some found courage,
some lived with conscience muted
Some wrote, some listened
Some got married and some..
Well some of them still say single makes sense
Some lived happily ever after
And some never found out what it was
And in these alleys of the life we travelled
We ran, we gave up and sat for a while
And in these alleys of life we expressed
Sometimes we howled out loud
Sometimes we muffled the screams and the laughter
And just let our body talk
And in these alleys of life we lived
Dying every night
Coming to life every morning
Wishing for more, hoping for less
What ever worked…
And in these alleys of life
We met death
Some called him, embraced him
And some begged for another chance
Sometimes he came straight to us
And sometimes he just shook hands and said
Some other time
And in these alleys life ended
life began..
