जो तेरा था ही नहीं उसे
खोने का ग़म क्यों,
जो पल ठहरता ही नहीं
उसे खोने का ग़म क्यों,
हवा भी पराई,ये सांसें उधार की
फिर चिंता से उदास मन क्यों,
जो आया है वो जाएगा एक दिन
फिर मोह में फंसा ये तन क्यों....!!

दिल की हसीं वादियों में
यूँ ही कहीं पनप जाता है प्यार
गूंजता है फिर होठों पर
आँखों में झलक जाता है प्यार
खूबसूरत कोई जज्बात है ये
जो हसीं ख़्वाब दिखलाता रहता है
हर कदम पर फिर हाथ थामे
जिंदगी जीना सिखलाता रहता है।।
यूँ तो समेट लाए हर चीज़ गाँव से मगर,
धागे तुम्हारे नाम के बरग़द पे रह गए ।
हाथों में हो बस तुम्हारा ही हाथ ,
ख़्वाब चाय हो तुम्हारा साथ...
ख़ुद का यक़ीन जीतना
ख़ुद से मुलाक़ात करना
ख़ुद के साथ वक्त बिताना
और ख़ुद से ख़ुश रहना
दुनिया की बड़ी से बड़ी उपलब्धि से बढ़ कर है।

And here children, is a prime example of learning history from social media. The answer to this lies in the very definition of "colonialism", quite a contrary to the mughal rule in India.
Not another post whining about why “mUgHaLs WeRe nOt cOlOnizErs” like girl, they were literally foreign invaders who forced you to speak their language, broke your temples, tried eradicating your culture and collected zizya taxes motivated by religious bigotry in hopes of forcing your people to convert! At least have some shame and consideration for your ancestors.

windows and sunsets.
outside my window, i adore
a crimson sunset's grandeur.
Bleeding with hues of orange and pink
I can't take a moment to blink.
The sky's on fire, a sight to behold
the sun dips below the horizon, so bold.
Windows and sunsets are a perfect blend
A magical moment, that will never end.

The night is long.
The moon is alone
And so am I.
Alone ,ethereal and yet
Fighting in the darkest hours of night.
