Rain washed away everything


Rain has washed away all colors
And painted the city wet
Mud has spoken to my shoes
And moist is the air in my head
Tears are marrying rain drops
Sleep has divorced my eyes red
Sadness wore grey raincoat
Joy took shelter under my bed

All my poems are cold now
Cuddled up all behind my old books
I am all alone out here
Waiting for Sun’s warm looks.

Your love is the limit of my being


Your love is the limit of my love
I exhaust my being in you
To the very limits of my existence

I no longer remain sane
I swing between the borders
Of sense and senselessness

At time I sense
Even the whisper of a falling leaf
And at times
I am senseless
Even to the blazing fire in front of me

What have you made of me?

I part the river in two
And even find myself
Talking to you on the mountain top

You promise me flood
And make me build a ship
To be saved for you

What have you made of me?

You exhaust me in your love
Your love is the limit of my being
The limits of the limits of my existence!

"Sheene' Jung"

Tumhey yaad hai
Meri tumhari barf ki jung?

Tumney apne naazuk
Thand se magroor haathon se
Humari duniya jaisa
Barf ka aek gola
Merey seeney pe maara tha

Mai wo duniye
Apne seeney mai liye
Aaj tak fir raha hun

Ye soonch kar ki

Kabhi to muhabbat ka suraj nikley ga
Kabhi to mere seeney pe sar rakh kar
Tum
Mere wajood ki
Barf se dhaki duniya ko
Aek hi pal mai
Qatra qatra pigla do gi
