A Sweet Scar

Perfume lingers across the valleys of reveries,
When my heart turns the pages of old diaries.

Blooming flowers remind me of her lovely face,
I’m the luckiest person by the God’s grace.

The heart is mine but it always beats for her,
Without her, to my eyes all things are a blur.

She dwells in my heart, so I never feel lonely,
I enjoy days of my life with her memories only.

As a souvenir she has given me is a sweet scar,
That's how I tell how lovely her memories are!

काव्य: दिलीप मेवाड़ा

दिलीप मेवाड़ा

ग़ज़ल

माना दिल को तेरे वादे प एतबार नहीं
इतना भी नहीं के तेरा इंतिज़ार नहीं

बस जब तुम आई थीं तब ही तो आई थी
उसके बाद से तो आई यहाँ बहार नहीं

बनाता  ही  रहता  है  ख़्यालों  के  घरोंदे
नसीब में इस दिल के कोई इतवार नहीं

वो चाहती है पार करना आग का दरिया
दिल की कश्ती के पास मगर पतवार नहीं

वैसे तो हर कर्ज़ चुका दिया ज़िंदगी का
सिवा खुशियों के पास मेरे कुछ उधार नहीं

ग़ज़ल

चलो किताबों से निकल के बात करते हैं
चलो फिर धूप में पिघल के बात करते हैं

आँखों और दिल के इशारे तो राएगाँ
चलो ख़ुद ही आज चल के बात करते हैं

आँखें नम और हैं बातें गीली अपनी
चलो ज़रा सा सम्हल के बात करते हैं

पिछली मर्तबा हँसी हँसी में टल गई
चलो आज लहजा बदल के बात करते हैं

माना उनकी बातें नज़्मों से कम नहीं
चलो तो ग़ज़ल में ढल के बात करते हैं

ग़ज़ल

फिसल गया दिल अपनी ही राहों से
आँखों  की  गीली गीली  बातों  से

बारिश  की  धूप  का  क्या  ऐतबार
परिंदा  आस  का  बोला  शाख़ों  से

सुबह हो गयी पर अभी तक न लौटे
घर में ख़्याल चले थे जो शामों से

बातों  के  जंगल  तो  ख़ैर  ठीक  थे
छिल गया दिल लहजे के ख़ारों से

हुयी  बरसातें  तो  भर  गये  वरक़
लफ़्ज़ों  की  रंग  बिरंगी  नावों  से

Poetry: Dilip Kumar Mewada

Dilip Kumar Mewada

1. Poem

Her style is my poetry, how can I forget her obligation
Her company is my dream, she herself is destination

Our hearts remain engulfed in pleasant conversation
Between us, even if there is no verbal communication

My heart wants to remain stuck to her imagination
It accepts all her words without much observation

In love, feelings of heart do not require any explanation
Sometimes soul is also delighted by wrong interpretation

I admit, my poem is noting but her beautiful reflection
But also true, I often write good couplets in frustration

2. Ghazal

Life seems to be very meaningful
When one comes in life who is beautiful

Whether they are in books or in garden
Flowers of love are always colourful

Description of her beauty is not easy
But fortunately my words are helpful

She showed me her real face in trouble
Earlier attitude of life was very joyful

My style of narrating thoughts is different
My couplets are less exciting but truthful

3. Ghazal

It is just my unique style of representation
That, in my Ghazals people see her reflection

The words become fragrant automatically
When eyes start taking part in communication

You can achieve anything in life that you want
It is just matter of your hardship and dedication

I can tell you just meaning of the word but
Only lovers can explain what is the separation

I suffered a lot in life not because of inability
But just because of my habit of hesitation
