Did I do well my Mother...?

"An eye for an eye, and soon the whole world is blind."- Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi
..
This poem of mine is dedicated to the martyrs and the brave soilders of Indian Soil who nailed the terrorism back to its' grave...A salute to souls of all those brave heroes.

Did I do well Mother?
It was the sea side shore
there were the wings who wanted to fly once more
I was little scared
But not afraid of dying
Would I be able to do it
Would I be able to save some dreams
Thousands of eyes outside
And inside I found silence standing alone
I was searching some 'evils of vain'
Who brought humanity tears and shame


Here I killed one.. Here is that dead pain
Everywhere around bombs were turning on
Sometime I heard crying
Sometime I heard moan
I did fight for them who I really don't know
this is the chance to show gratitude and honor
To the respected motherland I belong
Here I die mother I did all my best
What I could not complete
My fellow will do the rest

I wish I had more than one life !
I would have given up all
To destroy the foe of peace
Now I am taking some prayers with me to HIM
For the one who lost their loved ones
This time I will not fail my mother!
This time I will not...
Thinking of you gave me so much of strength
You were with me all time
It was the last exam I took
My mother so tell me
Did I do well my mother?
Did I do well...!

छु कर पल-पल, कहती है जिन्दगी

छु कर पल-पल, कहती है जिन्दगी;
हूँ तेरे पास मैं, अब भी कहीं;
न अश्क दे इनमें, है जिनमे मोती कहीं;
होठों से बिखरा दे, जहाँ मैं हँसी के दरिया कई;
निभे गर किसी से, या कोई हो खफा;
तू दिल की दुआ में, बस मोहब्बत सज़ा;
हर एक रंग यूँ तो, होता है जुदा;
कोई भी मगर, न तन्हा खुबसूरत हुआ;
मुझसे आती जाती हवा, कह देती है सारी सदा;
कहीं छुपा सा है कोई, ख्वाबो में कहीं;
छु कर पल-पल, कहती है जिन्दगी;
हूँ तेरे पास मैं, अब भी कहीं।
