हुनरमंद (The Talented Ones)

  लोग जिसे बर्बाद समझते थे आज वह हुनरमंद कहलाता है सीना चौड़ा हो जाता है सबका जब देश का बच्चा मेडल लाता है कुछ तो हालात खुद्दार बना देते हैं कुछ हुनर जोश दिलाता है जी तोड़ मेहनत रंग लाती है तो यही बच्चा देश का गौरव कहलाता है लेकिन कहां रहते हैं यह लोग जब यही बच्चा गरीबी में सो जाता है खाने पीने के लाले होते हैं कोई मदद को सामने नहीं आता है क्यों यह मोहताज है शोहरत का क्यों कोई मदद को नहीं आता है जो चाहे देश की खातिर खेलने को कोई कोई स्पॉन्सर नहीं मिल पाता है कैसी बेशर्मी है यह ,   कैसी बेहयाई है सपोर्ट के नाम पर चिल्लर दिया जाता है जो भूले भटके मिल जाए कामयाबी तो हर नेता क्रेडिट लेने आ जाता है जो मेडल नहीं ला पाया वह भी हुनरमंद है फिर सबका विकास क्यों नहीं किया जाता है सिर्फ मेडल वालों के साथ ही क्यों फोटो सेशन किया जाता है यह सवाल कचोटता है हर आम हिंदुस्तानी को क्यों ऐसा सोतेला सुलूक किया जाता है देश का गौरव मेडल जीतने के बाद ही क्यों खिलाड़ी का सम्मान पहले से क्यों नहीं किया जाता है © Mohammad Atif

Childhood Desires

This Heartless World

Those flags and fires Burn me a lot from inside When I wish for peace, I get wars and riots The world has become a boiling pot where Your happiness is persistently being tested and tried The fight for dominance is never ending It keeps flying like a reckless kite If you do not want any such spat Better hide yourself in the dark of night Vested interests will seldom come to a halt So why not keep consuming fake news bite If it creates commotion anywhere around Avoid the woundeds, deads, and the orphans’ plight Learn to be heartless, shed off your tears Nowadays, emotions are a rare sight Don’t mind if you encounter red stains in the vicinity Instead of blood, it could be tomato sauce, am I right? The thought of happy days is just an illusion That will remain unfulfilled till the time infinite If you really aspire seeing genuine smiles all over Wait for heaven, coz chances in this life are not that bright   © Mohammad Atif    

Peace of Mind

Whatever you think is not  Always possible to happen It is your behaviour that can  Take you to hell or heaven Why are you so restless,  Why are you so impatient Whatever is in your fate, your will get it,  Whether odd or even Running after money  Will only tend you to lose your peace Listening to your heart  Will keep your relaxed Twenty Four-Seven So keep your calm, be patient And leave behind your aggression May be your anger  Help you get concession But in the long run, it will compel  To leave behind your prized possessions Your family, your loved ones, your friends All will part ways one day If you adopt the policy of suppression Live and let live should be your sole moto Only then can you achieve salvation.  © Mohammad Atif
