Seperation

After you were gone

I folded my heart in grief

Hanged my eyes

Outside

On the branch of a tree

In your lawn

Ironed my memories

And stored myself in your attaché

Under your bed

To be opened by you

When you come back

Belief

It’s true

And it’s false

When I say

I love you

And I love you not

You believe the true part

I will disbelieve the false one.

Order and Chaos

You hugged me

And everything that measured within me

Piece by piece

Fell in their rightful place

I was no longer a puzzle to myself

I was solved, defined in my own being

Assembled like a doll house

But then you parted

And I was again immeasurable

The unsolved puzzle

Piece by piece

Scattered all along the coastline

Of my unsettled sea

Beqarari!!!

Pehley to
Aansoun ke sard hony tak
Dil sambhal jaata tha...

Aaj na aansoo sard ho rahe hain
Aur na ye kambakth dil sambhal raha hai...

Life teaches me

Life has been a good teacher and after all these years I realized that we all look for anchors...I started my life with the first anchor of breath and my last anchor will be death and the real purpose of life is to find other anchors in between...the best one I found is LOVE - even in each moments I breathe and I die.

Aao mere khwaboon ki barishon

Aaj meri rooh pe baras jao

Mera wajood ko reza reza bigao

Mujhe apne naam se bhi aaj paak kardo

Bus aajao, jald aajao!!!

Mujhse wo rang nahi utrey ga...

Ek choti si masoom ladki

Khushboo ki dukaan se

Khushboo ki khali sheeshiyan

Haath phelaye maang rahi thi

Unhe paa kar

Kitni masoom hasraton se

Khool khool kar soong kar

Apne maeley ad nangey badan par

Kissi dulhan ki tarha mal rahi thi

Aur khil khila kar

Apni hasraton ki khushboo pa kar

Masoomiyat se khush ho rahi thi

Mai uski hansi ki khushboo mai

Der tak masroor

Khada dekh raha tha

Aur wo mujhe dekhte dekh kar

Mere paas aakar kehne lagi

“Saheb, kuch paisa do na,

Mehndi lagani hai.”

Maine apni jeeb se

Kuch sikkey nikal kar

Uskey mehndi se khaali hathoon mai

Uski mehndi ki tamana ke naam kar diye

Mujhe nahi maloom

Uski mehndi lagi ki nahi

Par uski awaaz ki khushboo

Ki mehndi ka rang

Mere wajood pe chad gaya tha

Wo rang aaj tak nahi utra hai…

Wo rang aaj tak nahi utra hai…
