अगर इज़हार-ए-मोहब्बत में मुश्किल थी
तो यूँ हमसे आँखें न चार की होतीं
कि तेरी आँखों ने हमें आशिक़
और ख़ामोशी ने दीवाना बना छोड़ा…
अगर हमसे न करनी थी मोहब्बत तो ज़ालिम
हमसे यूँ मुलाक़ातें न की होतीं
कि तेरी नज़दीकियों ने हमें ग़ाफ़िल
और दूरी ने पागल बना छोड़ा ।
Nehaan in Persian means ‘secret’ or ‘hidden.’ In Japanese, the same word means ‘nirvana.’ In these pages, I will make an attempt to explore, and if possible, partly or fully reveal what lies hidden from our view in our day-to-day lives. The path will be characterised by a certain lack of method which I think is characteristic of human intuition. I write and shall continue to write only when inspired to do so. This also means I might occasionally make forays into varied fields such as science, music, philosophy, language, linguistics and poetry, to name a few. I hope this would not put off new readers and tire the old ones! But who am I to complain–even the lovers of fine wine feel repulsed by the first drop and still, quite strangely, dizzy by the last.
Nehaan
