"pankaj" poems
DEAR
GALTI MERI THI
USNE MUJHE CHAHA HI NAHI
MAI CHAHAT SAMAJH BAITHA
GALTI MERI THI
USKI PAL BHAR KI MUSKURAHAT KO
PYAR SAMAJH BAITHA
GALTI MERI THI
WO TO HAR BAAT PAR HAA KARTI THI
MAI HI IQRAR SAMAJH BAITHA
GALTI MERI THI
USNE MUJHSE JYADA AHMIYAT DI MERE DOSTO KO
MAIN USKI YE AADDA MAJAK SAMAJH BAITHA
GALTI MERI THI
USNE KAHA V THA
KOI AUR HAI USKI ZINDGI ME
MAI HI KHUD KO USKI
ZINDGI SAMAJH BAITHA......
GALTI MERI THI
..............
........

What is Loneliness, you may ask,?
Good question if you have never experienced loneliness
Never did you encounter a situation where there was no one
No one you could talk to, understand you, love you
You always had friends and family for company
Loneliness does not occur because you are alone
Loneliness occurs when no one understands you
When no one loves you, when you are treated with contempt
You can be alone and yet you are not lonely
Or you can be part of a large family, but completely isolated
Pankaj Udhas, the Ghazal singer, says in one of his songs
" Koi nahi sunta jab tanhaiya bolti hai"
Tanhaiya is the Hindi word for loneliness
What he says is "No one listens when loneliness speaks"
Never a truer phrase I have heard
Loneliness is the solo traveller who cannot stop anywhere
As every stop has strangers, he cannot connect with
Loneliness is the tune you sing yourself
As no one else can understand it
Loneliness is walking along the road alone
Till you find someone who is also lonely
And who gives you "company"
Then loneliness says, "We part ways now"
For company and I can never be together
We are the two sides of a coin that never meet.
