Hichki… hich… hichki

Hichki… hich… hichki

Aaj hum tumhe yaad aaye?

Jaane aaj kya baat hui

Kyun aaj hum tumhein yaad aaye

Hichki… hich… hichki

Lo phir hichki aayee

Kyun yeh tere naam se hi rukkti hai?

Kyun meri yaad tujhe aaj aayee?

Hichki… hich… hichki

Mujhe hi kyun sataati hai yeh hichki?

Tujhe to hum bhool naa paaye

Kya tumhe hurr waqt nahin aati hai hichki?

Hichki… hich… hichki

Arre bas bhi karo yaad karna

Ub saamne aao, milo, baat karte hain

Beete zamaane saath mil kar yaad karte hain

Hichki… hich… hichki

Aaj hum tumhe yaad aaye?

Jaane aaj kya baat hui

Kyun aaj hum tumhein yaad aaye

Beyond Labels

 “What’s your religion?”

he asked.
I looked at him,
smiled,
and said -
“Love… and Humanity.”

He paused.
“But what about God?”
I smiled again…
My God is too vast
to fit into a single name,
too infinite
to be confined within a label.

My God is One -
faceless,
formless,
beyond gender… beyond definition.
and yet -
He is however I choose to see Her:
loving,
compassionate,
forever forgiving.

My God is everywhere,
in every person.
Even you, I said.

He continued,
and asked me
what I believe in.

And I said -
I believe in living,
and in loving…
not in judging.
I believe in searching for good,
even where none seems to exist.
I believe in giving love
without keeping score.
I believe in second chances -
in forgiving,
in letting go,
in moving forward…
Because life
has taught me these things -
not gently,
but deeply.
