We Are JNU

We are JNU
We are love
We are JNU
We are life

When the nights of hatred 
Are long and cold
When the darkness of ignorance
Crawls in hearts
We sing together the songs of light
We are the last children of light
We are JNU
We are the light

When treasures of dreams
Are sold for sleep
When life is mortgaged
To insure against death
We color dreams with red blood
We embrace death
Without being dead
We are JNU
We are the life
We are JNU
We are not dead

Who can imprison the soul of fire?
You may kill the body, not desire
We are the fountain 
The source of life
We are the spirit of fearless truth
Of unashamed springs
Of relentless love
We are JNU
Yes
We are the revolution
We are JNU
Dear
We teach love

P.S.:"At the risk of seeming ridiculous, let me say that the true revolutionary is guided by a great feeling of love. It is impossible to think of a genuine revolutionary lacking this quality... We must strive every day so that this love of living humanity will be transformed into actual deeds, into acts that serve as examples, as a moving force." (Che Guevara)

The Name On The Glass

Wrapped in your warm shawl
Looking out of the window
Sleeplessly loud city
Crawling noisily towards the dawn

You scribble my name
A slow magical movement
Of your index finger
Dipped in an invisible ink
Of your moist breaths
On the window-glass

I love the way you look
Longingly
The spell of your smiling lips
Is nothing less than a kiss

I start melting down from the glass
While you shamelessly think about me

They Found Me…

You should run
Run away to the place
Where nobody knows you
They found me
They found me reading your last letter
Your intolerably scandalous letter

They read it out loud to everyone
To mock and ridicule me

“My Love
You bought me for nothing.
Such a gifted trader you are
I sold myself so fast.
As soon as you placed
Two moist kisses
Adeptly on my hungry lips
Nothing remained same after

You burned all the libraries inside me
I have no language to follow
No words to speak through
My yearning grows deeper and longer
Deeper than your meditative breaths
Longer than your love-making nights

I announce to the world today
I love you
I love you so much
I have given up all hopes of coming back

Hold my hand
Before I’m consumed
By this relentless passion

While these seething cries of longing reach
Farther than the dark of night
I’ll patiently wait for your reply.
Be kind.
Soon.
Ever yours…”

My love, 
When you know
The reality is the other way round
Why do you write such scandalous things?
