“
Reh Gyi Rasm-e-Azan, Rooh-e-Bilali Na Rahi
Falsafa Reh Gya, Talqeen-e-Ghazali Na Rahi
Azan yet sounds, but never now Like Bilal’s, soulfully;
Philosophy, conviction-less, Now mourns its Ghazzali

Kaun bata sakta hai yeh mulaqaat pehli yaan aakhri hai..
Na jaane kitni baar mil chuka hoon tujhse aur kitni baar abhi milna baaki hai...
Har daur mein hota hai koi kirdaar mere jaisa..
Na jaane kitne qisson me zikar hai mera aur kitni kahaniyon mein abhi likhna baaki hai...
Sadiyon se chal hoon ekk kaafile ke saath saath..
Na Jaane kin Manzilon ki talaash hai aur kahan abhi Pahunchna baaki hai...
Suna hai Sau raaste jaate hai usski jaanib ki taraf ...
mujhe ek bhi nai mila, lagta hai nasamajh kadmon ka abhi Bhatkna baaki hai...
Na thama hai, na hi thamega yeh ranjishon ka silsilaa 'Mehram..
Na jaane kitni dafa toota hoon abhi kitna aur bikhrana baaki hai...
Khwabon me khawab dekh raha hai ek mitti ka bhut zameen pe..
Uske Khwabon ki ajal mein bas Palkon ka jhapkana baaki hai...
Wajood-e-adam ke dayaron se nikal toh chuki hai zaat meri..
Bas saanson ka rukna aur rooh ka bicharna baaki hai..
Uss roshni ki talaash mein jo phir raha hai dar-ba-dar...
Dekh Patangey ney Samait liya haunsla usme Jitnaa abhi baaki hai...
Kaun bata sakta hai yeh mulaqaat pehli yaan aakhri hai
Na jaane kitni baar mil chuka hoon tujhse aur kitni baar abhi milna baaki hai...

naa bharegi yeh khalaa,
naa milega yu sukoon bandeya...
sunn meri dastak,
khol dil ka dar,
kar mujhe qubool bandeya....
le haath mera thaam,

masoom bache si muskurati,

chup chaap khoi si, har pal jaise kuch dhoondti,
lafzon se parda karti, phir bhi sab kuch bolti.
aaine sa sacha bayaan hai,
yeh aankhein uski rooh ki zaabaan hai

Arré, let's go further, janaab. There is much to be seen in Pahalgam."
Mushtaq took a long time to understand that I hadn't actually wanted to come to Pahalgam. When we moved forward after having girda and kahwa, I saw a dense deodar forest beside the road. I asked him to park on the side, and we entered the forest.
"There are many such places in Kashmir,' Mushtaq said as he sat on the grassy ground.
"These places are so special.' I could lay bare my Kashmir in front of Mushtaq. There was something about him that put one at ease. I kept touching and looking at the deodar trees. How nice it was to roam with this form of life, hundreds of years old; what all they might have witnessed, and, in spite all that, they stood quietly, emanating so much peace and calm. I lay down under a tree. Mushtaq walked down to the river, washed his hands and sat down at a distance to perform the namaz. There could not be a more pious place than this to pray.

I took out my laptop, and my fingers began to dance on the keyboard. I wish I knew how to write! I wish I knew how to live! The gap between the movement of my fingers and what I was feeling so intensely in that moment was so huge that I could see the knots in the formation of each sentence being written. Then, in the process of untying the knots, I would get so entangled that I would lose my grip on what exactly I was feeling. There was a tiff going on between my living and my being. I would write and delete, again write and again delete. Each time I felt I was being untruthful. Every time the word 'Kashmir' would appear in front of my eyes, I wondered why this word seemed to be so distant. I left my Kashmir. I tried to write Shabeer's Kashmir or tried to narrate from Mushtaq's point of view. Why had my Kashmir faded so much?
”
”
Manav Kaul (Rooh, A Novel)
“
I feel it is important to write personal narratives about Kashmir. There should be plenty of stories of Kashmir from all points of view. Our enemies are often those whom we don't know. It has been thirty years; it is only through these stories that we can embrace each other. It is in the stories that the skill of forgiving and being forgiven is hidden.

Manav Kaul (Rooh, A Novel)
“
For previous generations, progress in life so far would have meant going through the motions prescribed by caste and class: together, the imperatives of education (inevitably vocational), marriage (nearly always arranged, with love regarded as a folly of callow youth), parenthood and professional career (with the government) imposed order, without too many troubling questions about their purpose and meaning. Regional and caste background dictated culinary and sartorial habits: kurta-pyjamas and saris or shalwar-kameezes at home, drab Western-style clothes outside; an unchanging menu of dal, vegetables, rotis and rice leavened in some households with non-alcoholic drinks (Aseem’s first publication in the IIT literary magazine was Neruda-style odes to Rooh Afza and Kissan’s orange squash, Complan, Ovaltine and Elaichi Horlicks). We belonged to a relatively daring generation whose members took on the responsibility of crafting their own lives: working in private jobs, marrying for love, eating pasta, pizza and chow mein as well as parathas, and drinking cola and beer, at home, taking beach vacations rather than going on pilgrimages, and wearing jeans and T-shirts rather than the safari suits that had come to denote style to the preceding generation of middle-class Indians. Our choices were expanded far beyond what my parents or Aseem’s could even imagine.
