The Tempest

You walked into
the dark corridors of my life
like lightening.
For once,
Lighting up
The whole alley.
Exposing
the naked “me”
I had so painstakingly,
So carefully
All along
hidden
in the layers of time.

You stormed into
The calm sea of my life
Like the tempest,
Tearing away
The vast depth
Beneath which

Tumahara Jana

Tumahara jana
Aachanak pushpo ki kaliyo se
Unke mahak ka ud jana.
Kal tak jo khila khila tha
Pal main
murjha kar mar jana.

Tumahara jana
Chand lamho main indradhanush ke
Rango ka ris kar bah jana.
Barso tak jo aabad sahar tha
Uuska chand minto mein
viran uujad ho jana

Tumahara jana
Aachanak chanchal hava ke
Rukh ka tufan mein badal jana.
Kal tak jo balwan khada tha
Uuska tut kar bikhar jana.

The Door Left Ajar

Everynight,
I wait for the dawn
Hoping,
You might just walk in
From that door
I had left ajar
Anticipating your return.

Then the dawn
Matures into the day
And the day
Dissolves into dusk
My door
Still remains ajar
Anticipating your return.

As the dusk
Gathers more of its colour
And embraces stillness
Like impending doom.

Mohabbat Kise Kahe?

Koi samzhaye..
Kisko mohabbat kahe?
Voh jo raato ko,
Kalikh lage aangan me jagaye,
Rulaaye, sataye..
Ya,
Voh job bhare saapno ko
Daman me liye
Hasaye, khilaye?

Koi samzhaye..
Kisko mohabbat kahe?
Voh jo chand ki bojzal aankho
Mei kajal ki syahi se,
dhundhli lage..
ya,
voh jo suraj ki ujjali dhoop
ki sunahari taap me mehke?

Koi samzhaye..

Aaj Mann Behad Udas Hai

Aaj mann behad udas hai,
Kah do meeghoo se,
Ke itna shor na kare
Mehfil me dil
youn hi tanha hai.
Kah do boondo se
Ke itna na barse
Palke ye yo hi nam hai.

Aaj mann behad udas hai,
Dil thoda khali tha,
Thoda tha bhara bhara.
Mann tanha, aakela tha
Par kam se kam
Kadmo pe the baadal.
Na ye sham ka
Syah aandhera.
Mujhko na tha yo aapne
Uudte rahne se gila.

Khushi

Khushi
Kya ho tum?
nam us lamhe ka
Jab pahli bar
Meine thi paakdi
Vo titli
Rango bhari
Lal, hari, neeli, aur peeli
Din bhar bhagne ke bad.
Ya ho voh pal
Jab pahli bar
Udte dekha
Apne he saapno ko
Door aasma par
laga kar paanchi ke par.

Khushi
Kya ho tum
Nam us aahsas ka
Jab pahli bar

Bhage Jaa Rahe Hai

Bhage ja rahe hai,
Na jane dur kis se.
Sochte hai,
janmoo ka ho
Tum me
Hum me
Phasla.
Na tum meri
Har saans mei
Dard banker basoo,
Na hum tumhari
Nazaroo mei khatke
Beaabroo dastan banker.
Yo meelo meel
Bhagte rahe
Aur
Har baar,
Har raah
Le jaati rahi
Tum tak.

Missing You! !

I lay awake
Deep into the night,
Missing you.
My heart
Loud!
Wonder if audible
Even to you.
My thoughts
A jamboree of emotions,
Some acquaintances
Some strangers.
Wonder if ever felt by you.
And then
even without a knock
You enter..
Vivid against the haze of
My open eyed dreams.
How I love
The lines
at the corner of your eyes

Parichay

Poochu kisse parichay aapna
Mei khud se aanjaan
Barso se parkha hai khud ko
Baanker ke vidwan.
Har baras
dar baras
Badle hai pehchan mere
Herat mei hai jaan.

Har pal badalta
Ek ek pal mei machalta
Kabhi dhalta, kabhi nikharta
Paraspar badalta
Mera aastitwa
meri pehchan

kabhi dhoondha hai
kisi ki aakho ke pratibimb mei
to
kabhi paya hai

As I Think About You

As I think about you
Tonight,
I just wonder..
Do you too sometimes
Think about me?
To me you are like sunshine
And
When you are beaming,
I wear your smile on my lips
All day long.
Do you? Beloved
Too wear mine?
I am happy when you are happy.
Sad when you are sad.
Infact
I carry your tears in my eyes.
Do you? Beloved
Too carry mine?
I liked you happy,
The way you were before.
