Human illusion - Informed by Great Poet Kaifi Azmi

We are brought here on this planet by the Power unknown to us. Thereafter, we grow, we learn, we earn, we fail, we succeed, we perform and collect many things in life mainly to experience happiness, peace, satisfaction and so on. But in spite of all this, restlessness persists. Satisfaction eludes. We never feel reached. We keep on missing some target unknown to us, but which is always calling us. We live as if we are waiting for something to happen. So, whatever we do, whatever we get, proves just insufficient to quench our inner thirst..

Great Poet Kaifi Azmi sahab says

Dil Ki tasalli ke liye juuthii chamak jhuuthaa nikhaar
( For my heart’s satisification, I have adorned myself in this false glitter and shine )
Jivan toh suunaa hi raha sab samjey aaii hai bahar
( Though it remains empty, everyone assumes that spring has arrived in my life. )

Here, Kaifi Sahab also confirms that life remains empty even after whatever human being has attained, though one does think that spring has arrived.

Kuchh dil ne kahaa, kuchh bhii nahii.n'
My heart said something; yet, it was nothing at all.
Kuchh dil ne sunaa, kuchh bhii nahii.n'
My heart heard something; yet, it was nothing at all.

Entire song is analyzing the question of real identity of human being who one really is. So, poet, in a way, motivates us to analyze the life, the purpose of life and how we can attain fulfillment... Poets are the real saints conveying His messages.
This Kaifi sahab's poetry is for the movie Anupama, beautifully composed by Hemant da and sung by another Great Lata Mangeshkar.



Listen, enjoy and analyze.......

HIS Eyes...

We live as if nobody is watching us, as if nobody is noticing us, as if we can break any bond, as if we are free to do anything. But no, this is not so. Some Presence is always watching us and our actions. Though we do enjoy full freedom as human beings but still the system which has conceived and developed human model and is encircling our existence, is watching us, though not directly interfering in our activities. Sitting deep down in our body, HE is waiting for our attention as HE wants INFINITE to unfold... Band- Police, has come out with a great poetry beautifully sung by Great Sting viz. Every breath you take Every move you make Every bond you break Every step you take I'll be watching you. This song lets us know that HE is watching us and waiting.......!

Poetry -- A CALL of the INFINITE

Poetry is not merely a combination of words. I believe it is an account of the Unknown and may be, by the Unknown. Poetry wants to talk with you. It wants to convey something very important to you. It wants to deliver some message to you. It desires to have your kind attention. It wants to hold your hand and take you to a secret   journey. May be it   wants to unfold the mystery. It seems to be carrying something very valuable. When the Poet Majrooh Sultanpuri says  “ Mere Ghar Main Aai Hui Hai Bahar,  ( Spring has already arrived in me ) Qayamat Hai Phir Bhi Karoon Intezar “ ( My God, I am still waiting for the spring )   Poet has conveyed a fact   which is secret to us. He reveals that   we are already equipped with all the potential of being in Heaven. We already have all the festivals in us. The question is how to decode this, how to connect with it.   But Amazing that in spite of being so rich inwardly, we are still ...
