आँखें तेरी हो या मेरी हो...

I got the idea of this poem from 'Splitsvilla 5' theme song from 'Agnee'. Around 3 months back Agnee invited to complete the theme song as it was having only 1 stanza. I started writing 3 months back but, yesterday was able to give some dedicated time… 

कोई गम कहीं तेरा, है मेरा दिया
शायद अनजाने में कुछ, तूने भी किया
लगता है हर किसी में, हर कोई है छुपा
तोड़ के किसी का दिल, कौन है जिया
आँखें तेरी हो या मेरी हो
आँसू ना हो...आँसू ना हो...

कल तक था हर लम्हा, हमने भी संग जिया  
मौसम के हर एक रंग को, एक प्याले में पिया
था सूरज संग और साथ में था चंदा
अब लगता है वो सब, सपना खुली आँखों का

आँखें तेरी हो या मेरी हो
हो बस मुस्कुराहटें...
मुस्कुराहटें...

तेरी हर अदा पर होती थी अठखेलियाँ
दरिया की लहेरों संग हरकत बच्कानियाँ
बारिस की बूंदों संग कुछ शैतानियाँ
और हवा के झोकों संग तारों की गिनतियाँ

आँखें तेरी हो या मेरी हो
हो बस मुस्कुराहटें...

कुछ अनजाने सवालों की नादानियाँ
और कुछ अधूरे जवाबों की गलतियाँ
कुछ जो नक्शों में दिखती हैं बस दूरियां
सब बन गयी अब रातों की खामोशियाँ
आँखें तेरी हो या मेरी हो
आँसू ना हो...

कोई गम कहीं...
आँखें तेरी हो या मेरी हो...
शायद अनजाने में...
आँखें तेरी हो या मेरी हो...
आँसू ना हो...आँसू ना हो...

let smile comes through your eyes...

'Vyom this is not fair,' Romi said. 'What is that 'this', which is not fair,' Vyom with his usual reaction for this kind of situations. 'ohh...youuu...I have uploaded my outing pics and still no comment from you,' Romi with her usual sweet anger.'Ohh Romi...you look beautiful even in anger,' Vyom said. 'So you mean to say I should be angry all the time,' unexpected reaction from Romi. 

'Ohh calm down please...I saw the pics...I guess only 5 or 6 pics, no doubt you are looking good', Vyom said. 'I really wanted you to see the pics and you...'Romi said halfhearted. 'Ohh Romi...do likes or comments matter,' Vyom said. 'No...but you have seen the pics, at least you should tell me' Romi replied. 'Ohh...I was waiting for more pics to be uploaded,' Vyom with his unique logic. 'You are great and above all your logics...you have all answers ready,' Romi reacted as always. 

'Ok...I am looking your album...you just wait for my comments,' Vyom said.

After watching album...'Did you plan the trip...I mean the place and all,' Vyom asked. 'Yes...why you are asking,' Romi replied. 'Romi, the picnic manager...nice location and the best pic, you posing the victory pose with children,' Vyom commented out. 'Ohh thanks,' Romi said with smile. 'You know what's the best thing in that pic...you are enjoying like a kid...you look great in random clicks,' Vyom continued with his unique way. 'Yes...that pic is really good,' Romi said.

'Romi...you know...don't try to put smile on your face, it can fall...let it comes through your eyes...I can see the smile in your eyes in this pic,' Vyom said. 'Ok,' Romi said. 'What ok...you always say ok like a kid...I am waiting for your reply,' Vyom said. 'I am still feeling alienated with your words, but it was beautiful,' Romi replied back. 'Ohh...nice joke... you feeling alienated cause you are an alien and you know that...hmm,' Vyom said. 'Youuu...', Romi smiled with covering her eyes with one hand... 

Smile...

“When you are going for lunch?” asked my colleague. “mmm...I am stuck with this, will give 1 more try,” I said. “ohh, ok ok...you know we have a meeting today,” my colleague reminded me. “Ohh...then I have to go,” I said and picked up my tiffin.

I put my Tiffin stuff in bowls and was waiting for oven, as it was having tiffin of that chubby girl. “I always think of having something from food court, but end up with my tiffin ,” girl said to her lunchmate. I think 2 minutes are enough for tiffin, but here I can see it’s more than that. “It’s done, can you please,” I asked the chubby girl. “Ohh...thanks,” she replied back. And what was that unusual thing oven got off when I put my plate inside. Yes very unusual, it was serving throughout the day even when Northern power grid was down.

“Ohh...sorry,” said the girl. Her expression was like a kid, asking for sorry after messing up the whole lunch table. I looked at her like,’ Why are you feeling sorry kid, it’s just a fluctuation’. I really wanted to do that ‘googly woogly woosh’ act with her cheeks. “It’s ok...just a fluctuation I guess...now power grid is up,” I said. She smiled back just like an innocent kid, the real smile syncing up with her eyes...  

Really real things are so rare and powerful. With that real smile pantry area was smiling again and the oven got life back.

I wish every smile I see, could have that intensity...
