ख़ुशी की तलाश
मैं
ढूँढ रहा था खोज रहा था तलाश रहा था
खुशी कोने कोने में
सबने यही कहा ख़ुशी नही मिलती ओने पौने में
फिर गुरुदेव ने बताया उस शख्स का पता
मौजूद है जिसके पास मेरी खुशी का हर सामान
मौजूद है जिसके पास मेरी हर खुशी का आयाम
मिला जब उससे,पता चला, मुझे जानता है जनम से
मुझे भी लगा पहचाना सा, कहता हूँ कसम से
उससे मिलते ही,ना जाने क्यों आँखें बंद हो गई मेरी
चेहरे पर खिल आई अनायास ही एक मुस्कुराहट
वो भी मुझे देख रहा था, आईने से,बिना किये कोई आहट !

Pursuit Of Happiness
I
Was searching
Was seeking
Was enquiring
For happiness
Frantically
All around, in all corners
Everyone said happiness is not easy to get
Not very cheap to be found.
Then my beloved Gurudev
Gave me the address of a person
That someone
Who had all the tools for my happiness.
That someone who held with him
All the dimensions of my happiness.
When I met him,
Viewed him in this new light
I came to realise,
That I had known him ever since birth.
He felt so very familiar, I swear
As soon as I met him,
I don’t know why my eyes closed
And
A big smile suddenly appeared on my face.
As I stared at him
He too was looking back at me
With a serene smile
From the mirror!
I had found the address of my happiness.
