Happy Year 2009 - A Message

A very Happy 2009 to everyone. This year (as its still 2350 HRS as I write here) we might have seen a lot of worst and things of a little less than this degree, but I believe in seeing the matters in a little positive manner always. So while I sit back and rethink the past one year, I try not to recall and associate bad memories and odd times we all had in the past year. Sometimes, when I am stumbling upon such things, I try to bring out even he least of the positive stuff out of it (as its always there). I believe this is the only way to learn from life and carry on. Yes we can linger upon past for a while but only for learning and not to punish ourselves.

A message to all just before the beginning of the new year;

"Please learn to forgive people. Who knows who will be in this world the next day, the next hour and even the very next moment. We must not let any chance to go away".

I couldn't write much this night like I always do. But I am posting a poem in Urdu (apologies from non-urdu readers here) which I had written a few years earlier. However, it does not depict the present sentimental state ;)

Ik guzar gya, ik aur bhee beet jaye ga

Ik saal kya ehd-e-umar bhee ikhtataam paye ga

Hein aur bhee mausam saal ke sunta hon mein

Kya kabhi kya mausam-e-dil bhee badal paye ga?

Hay her jagtay lamhay, her khwaab ki her muskaan o aah mein

Tha kabhi socha woh is qadar yaad aye ga?

Ker dee yeh khata ke umeed-e-wafa dilai usay

Khabar thee kya ke apna bhee iman jaye ga

Saal ki pehli shub, athwein ka chaand, chandni kahan ki?

Gazb-e-aber dekha, yeh noor bhee chheena jaye ga

Chirian tinkay, mein yaadein ikathee ker raha hon

Woh qareeb-e-inteha, magar mujhay waqt lag jaye ga

Aber hay jo barasta toh barsay, akhir asmaan khul jaye ga

Yaad hay aaj aata, milan kal ho he jaye ga

May God bless you all....
