Path lost in darkness . .


Path lost in darkness . .
I was focussed and tried my best be on road to dreams
Oh i have been late, slow traveller, paths seems to be lost in darkness

This is a competition those gone ahead will reach the destination and i seem to have lost
Miles i travalled, Miles i toiled but oh lost by lately laziness
Challenge is what i need to give myself and prove myslef wrong
Rhythm is what i need to set, rest all seems as easy as song
Not being able deliver as on now makes one no looser
You Got to fight Tempest, you are the cruiser

Book By My Grand Mother

My Grand Mother Taja Begum has inherited all literary genes of her great dad. She has compiled a huge no of verses of poetry.
She is part of Sufi Sect so was her father, although i am no fan of Sufi -ism but still i respect all intellects for their writing, Yahaan toh ghar ji baat hai.
Poetry is of two types Ishq-i-haqiqi (Showing Love for God) and Ishq-i-mazazi (showing worldly Love). Thank God our family has divine bend, My Grand Mother Appa we call her has written huge amounts of poetry expressing love and devotion to God, it is pretty inspiration too. As my Great Grand Fathers (Lassa Khan Fida) Poetry still echo's in my mind "Bad Minath sham Kadiri shus shum ni Gham". their is soo much devotion in them.
I am planning to get a book published for my Appa as except her younger brother Guslhan Majid who is expert on Central Asian studies in University no one else has published after Great Grand Father.

Today Is Just Like Every Other


With huge difficulty i try convince myself to write
Idea's and languaue seem away from me and too bright
I always keep one step away from making in perfect
I need to bring out the perfect act

Confussion, delima and lack of of focus
Sit down boy, chart a plan be target the right locus

Somany things bothering my empty brain
Even thought process seems a pain
Hay boy wake up and devise a new way out
You are capable to figure it out with no doubt
---- This is a start for writing better as i need to improve and will ----

My connection with poetry ..

My Great Grand Father was a great poet, philosopher and a writer called "Lassa Khan Fida". He has composed a great book called "Gul-I-Bakavli". which i never read although i have heard lot of his poetry on TV and local artists in Kashmir performing on them.
Off late i realised that i have great literary heritage behind me and still i am devoid of ny artistic skill, i cant write well, i cant think great ideas and inspirations i cant wrote few lines of poetry n prose so where is it i have gone wrong..
My Grand Mother Taja Begum also writes great poetry so did her brother Late Gh. Nabi Khan (Ibni Fida). Do i need to rethink and re process my ideas, do i have a philosopher with in me. Noh i don't think so even my dad is just a great Professional not a artist.
But I am going to give it a try, may be my language is not that good but ya i start from very basics, may be it will be funny but let it be.

Now on what ever i write it will be recorded in here and hope i improve with every post ..
