Move on?

Feelings outpouring in poetic form. 

It has been a while since the show ended. Everyone from the team has moved on to different ventures. Most viewers have moved on to other shows, moved on with their lives, studies, jobs, etc. But many are still here, keeping IPK alive in their hearts, watching and re-watching, relishing and reveling in its magic, getting inspired, learning and teaching the good things, getting enthralled with the unavoidable chemistry. In short, basking in the golden sun shine that IPK continues to reflect.  

Moving on isn't something that I can deliberately do, especially if it is about IPK. If it has to happen, I would like to let it happen naturally, with time. Till then, I am here, in this house full of crazy IPK people, just like me. And enjoy and be contended that such a beauty came into our lives that moved every inch of our body and soul. Move on? Nah ... 

This poem is a reflection of the feelings of my friends outpouring on the Blast from the Past thread.  An ode to the show that has earned a permanent place in the hearts of all viewers, of those who have left and of those who haven't.


Move on? 

वो कहते हैं  के अब हमें आगे बढ़ना होगा 
यादों के भँवर से निकलना होगा 
दोनों चल पड़े हाथों  में हाथ लिए 
तो क्या अब हमें भी यहाँ से चले जाना होगा? 

वो दुपट्टे संग लहराता बेइंतेहां  प्यार 
What the की गूँज हो या तुम ठीक हो की पुकार  
बात करने का बहाना, हमेशा उनका लड़ना होता 
दिल को बहलाते इन पलों से क्या अब उभरना होगा? 

न कम हुई चाहत, न कम हुआ दीवानापन 
इसी बहाने मिला दोस्तों का अपनापन 
अब भी मायूस चेहरे पे जो मुस्कान ले आता 
 क्यों ऐसी अनमोल रत्न से दूर जाना होगा? 

घर वो है, जहाँ अपने रहते हैं, पराये नहीं 
जज़्बात अपने दिल के हैं, बेगाने नहीं 
ये जज़्बात जब तक अपने दिल में क़ायम होगा 
 इस घर में तब तक हमे रहना होगा 


Move on? 

Wo kehte hain ke ab humey aage badhna hoga
Yaadon ke bhanwar se nikalna hoga
Donon chal pade hain haathon mein haath liye
To kya humey bhi ab yahaan se chale jaana hoga?

Wo dupatte ke sang lehrata be-intehaa pyaar
What the ki goonj ho ya tum theek ho ki pukaar
Baat karne ka bahana, hamesha unka ladna hota
Dil ko behalate in palon se kya ab ubharna hoga?

Na kam huyi chahat, na kam hua deewanapan
Isee bahane mila doston ka apnapan
Ab bhi mayoos chehre pe jo muskaan le aata
Kyun aisi anmol ratna se door jaana hoga?

Ghar wo hai, jahaan apne rehte hain, paraye nahin
Jazbaat apne dil ke hain, begaane nahin
Ye jazbaat jab tak hamare dil mein kaayam hoga
Iss ghar mein tab tak humey rehna hoga

Translation:

They say that now we have to move on  
Should leave from this twister of memories  
Both have left walking hand in hand  
So should I too leave from here? 

That limitless love, flying with the dupatta  
The echo of What the or the call of tum theek ho  
An excuse to talk would always be their fights  
Do I have to rise from these heart soothing moments? 

The love hasn't come down nor has the craziness  
On this pretext, got a belonging feeling from friends  
The one that still brings forth a smile on a depressed face   
Why should I go far from such a priceless gem?  

Home is where near and dear ones live, not strangers   
The emotions are of my heart not that of outsiders'
As long as these feelings sustain in my heart
I will have to stay in this house till then.

Hamare Arnav aur Khushi

Hindi poem posted on IF's IPKKND 2nd Anniversary Thread... 
 
हमारे अर्नव और ख़ुशी 

घर के छोटे पर्दे पर, बनी एक प्रेम कहानी 
इस कहानी की हुई सारी दुनिया दीवानी 
इन दोनों की छवि सबके मन में बसी 
ऐसे थे हमारे अर्नव और ख़ुशी 

न तकरार की कमी थी, न काम थे जज़्बात 
चिंगारियों से भरी थीं इनकी हर मुलाक़ात 
कभी नफरत की थी चिंगारी, कभी थी नशीली 
ऐसे थे हमारे अर्नव और ख़ुशी 

सपने हुए पूरे, वो बनी उनकी दुल्हन 
कई मुश्किलों बाद हुआ इनका मिलन 
साज़िशें बहुत हुई, इनका प्यार चढ़ा न बलि 
ऐसे थे हमारे अर्नव और ख़ुशी 

महीने बीत गए, पर इन्हे कोई न भूला 
बस यही बात हर एक का दिल बोला 
न पहले थी ऐसे जोड़ी, न फिर होगी कभी 
ऐसे हैं हमारे अर्नव और ख़ुशी

Hamare Arnav aur Khushi 

Ghar ke chotey pardey par, bani ek prem kahani
Is kahani ki huyi saari duniya diwaani
In donon ki chavi, sab ke man mein basi
Aise thay hamare Arnav aur Khushi

Na takraar ki kami thi, na kam thay jazbaat
Chingaariyon se bhari thi, inki har mulaqaat
Kabhi nafrat ki thi chingaari, kabhi thi nashili
Aise thay hamare Arnav aur Khushi

Sapne huye poore, woh bani unki dulhan
Kayee mushkilon ke baad hua inka milan
Saazishein bahut huyi, inka pyaar chadha na bali
Aise thay hamare Arnav aur Khushi

Mahiney beet gaye, par inhe koyi na bhoola
Bas yehi baat, har ek ka dil bola
Na pehle thi aisi jodi, na phir hogi kabhi
Aise hain hamare Arnav aur Khushi
Translation:
On the small screen at home, there was a love story
The whole world became crazy for this story
Both of their reflections was in everyone's heart
This is how they were, our Arnav and Khushi 

There was no dearth of conflict, nor of emotions
Their every meeting was full of sparks
The sparks were sometimes of hate and sometimes intoxicated
This is how they were, our Arnav and Khushi 

The dreams were fulfilled, she became his bride
After many difficulties their unity took place
There were many conspiracies, but their love was not sacrificed
This is how they were, our Arnav and Khushi 

It has been months, but no one forgot them
Only one thing, every heart said
There was never such a couple, nor will be there again
This is how they are, our Arnav and Khushi

Poem on IPK's Second Anniversary

Introductory poem in English posted on IF's IPKKND 2nd Anniversary Thread... 



Poem on IPK's Second Anniversary

We are here to celebrate IPK's second anniversary
A time to be nostalgic, but also a time to be merry
FFs, SSs, OSs of the show, can fill up a mini library
A show that gave us, our very own Tom and Jerry 

The entry in a chopper became the best entry ever
He entered into a million hearts to stay there forever
The girl on a two-wheeler, dressed in her best attire
Entered into the man's heart, which was a big ball of fire 

Sparks flew, tempers blew and challenges were made
Don't want to meet or talk, to each other they said
Like elastic, the more they pulled, the more they got closer
Like a magnet, every time, they kept bumping into each other 

Finally they overcame, their egos and their fights
They confessed that on each other, they always had rights
Arnav and Khushi are names that are taken in one breath
Together for a life long journey, these two are set 

This was no ordinary love story, told in an ordinary manner
This was a deep-rooted tale, to unite two people forever
The show created such a craze, the numbers on everyone's fingertips
Everything had a count, from almosts and kisses, to falls and lifts 

For many, this show has proved to be a boon 
A show that's called 'Iss pyaar ko kya naam doon?'
