SOUND OF SILENCE

शोर ओ गुल में रूह की आवाज़ को भी सुन,
नूर ओ रंग में इस दबे राज़ को भी सुन।

बहुत दिलकश हैं ज़िन्दगी के हसीन नग़मे,
पर दूर कहीं बज रही है यह हल्की सी धुन।

फरेब-ऐ-नज़र है, सराब है, महज़ ग़ुबार है दुनिया,
जागते सोते चंद रोज़ के खवाइश-ऐ-ख्वाब न बुन।

रिश्ते, मुहबतें, याराने सब दिल ओ दिमाग की हैं बातें,
शहनाई की मुबारक धुन, घुंघरू की यह रूण झुन।

हमसफर रहे हैं अभी तक लालच, अना और खुद गर्ज़ी,
दौरान-ए-हयात में अब रहमत ओ रूहानियत भी चुन।

हंगामा-ए-जंगल में आवाज़ें बहुत रही हैं बुलंद,
गौर से, रवि, अब इस नन्हे परिंदे की भी सुन।

Shor o gul mein rooh ki awaaz ko bhi sun,
Noor o rang mein is dabe raaz ko bhi sun.

Bahut dilkash hain zindagi ke haseen nagmein,
Par door kahin baj rahi hai yeh halki si dhun.

Fareeb-e-nazar hai, saraab hai, mehz gubaar hai duniya,
Jaagte sote chand roz ke khwaish-e-khwaab na bun.

Rushtey, muhabattein, yaarane sab dil o dimaag ki hain baaten,
Shehnayi ki mubaaraq dhun, ghungroo ki yeh run jhun.

Humsafar rahe hain abhi taq laalach, anaa aur khud garzi,
Dauran-e-haiyaat mein ab rehmat o ruhaniyat bhi chun.

Hungama-e-jungle mein awaazen bahut rahi hain buland,
Gaur se, Ravi, ab is nanhe parinde ki bhi sun.

I have done a long stint in the Indian Navy that lasted for nearly thirty seven years; I rose as far as my somewhat rebellious and irreverent nature allowed me to. On retirement, in Feb 2010, the first thing that occurred to me, and those around me, was that I Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (you will find an article with this title in this blog) and hadn't lost all my noodles and hence thought of a blog titled 'This 'n That'. I later realised that every third blog is called 'This 'n That' and changed the name to 'Sunbyanyname'. I detest treading the beaten track. This blog offers me to air 'another way' of looking at things. The idea is not just to entertain but also to bring about a change. Should you feel differently, you are free to leave your comments. You can leave comments even when you agree and want to share your own experience about the topic of the blog post. Impudent or otherwise, I have never been insousciant and I am always concerned about the betterment of community, nation and the world. I hope the visitors of this blog would be able to discern it.
