Rendezvous

My love,

Meet me at the traffic jam

And take me away from this crawling world

Light hangs from many lamp posts

But roads are too dark

I walk around with a candle

Of your burning memories

My love,

Meet me like the traffic jam

And crawl into my world forever.

Trust

My love

Don't say I can’t bear the pain of your separation

Desert is never afraid of autumn

Knots of love

I have tasted salt on your lips

I have sailed seas in your eyes

I have been collecting my shadows from there

Come closer

Do you hear noises inside my head?

I have been reading all your letter whole night

I haven’t answered any of them

My fingers fail me tonight

Come closer

Do you hear sea inside my chest?

The moon of your face inspire high tides

Tonight the sea inside me is rough

Tonight

 No sailor is going to pass through

Except you.

Reflection of the self

I threatened the mirror with a stone

But I couldn’t scare the reflection

Without scaring myself

Ode to throat infection

There is a stranger in my throat tonight

It doesn’t allow me to speak to you

The voice creaks

Like an old rusted iron door

So my love

Come closer

Tonight

I can only whisper my love to you

News at dawn

Your eyes cast hooks

Onto me

And send thousand ships sailing 

To my heart

Carrying blessed news of your arrival

At the dawn of my hope

Politics of love

There is no democracy in love

You rule my world 
Forever

What if!

What if every moment we lived together

Becomes a kiss

Or a long-awaited hug!

What if all the winters we have borne together

Become a cold memory

Like a book on my desk!

What if all the letters we wrote to each other

Become butterflies

For me to search in every garden!

What if all the pain of losing you

Becomes an empty cellar

Bigger than my empty house!

What if all the doubts between us

Turn out to be lies

And what if I find you reading my poems

In the balcony of my winter sun.

Lehaaf

Jaan!

Aaney wali sardiyon se daro nahi

Mai baahon ki lehaaf liye kabse khada hun!

Love's manifesto

Let’s count the clouds again

And name each one of them together

Let’s not make them feel neglected

So they might cry rain!

Let’s wash every mirror with rainbows

And hang them on the walls outside home

Let’s not make people feel stranger

So they might walk alone!

Let’s listen to the sea flowing inside us

And surf on the eternal waves of love

Let’s not stop when storm comes

So we might save ourselves!

Being matrix

You have reduced me

To nothingness

Virtuality of a cyberspace

You paste your password on my lips

And enter my world

Like a fearless obsessed gamer

You tap with your agile fingers

All the apt keys

Writing unknown mysterious words

On the pages of my heart

Whose reference I find

Only in the curiosity of your ravenous eyes

You have created a world

Of your own inside me

I am becoming a web

Convoluted in its own being 

Confession

In the prison of your eyes

I confess my only crime

“I love you."

"Forever!”

Suno!

Suno! 

Meri aankhon mai rehtey ho

To aaraam se raho!

Kitni baar

Kaise kaise

Pighal ke

Beh jaato ho!
