They are back
Filling the empty house
voices
invading the silence
Flurry of activities
Edging on the chaotic
And yet the cacophony
has a calmness
Like a breezy music
On a sunny day
Alongside a gushing stream
I just watch
And I sit and wonder
If it makes sense
Yet it holds
All that means to me
I am fascinated
by the sky
It play out a show
Every evening without a fail
With the sun
as an accomplice
And the clouds too
Both white and dark
In equal measure
Creating random patterns
Like a kaleidoscope
and tiles of colourful glasses
Random in form
to hide the artist
Casual and coincidental
to hide the master plan
The show plays
Everyday
Irrespective of the audience
Because the audience
Are the show too
And the sky watches them
Fascinated
Describe one of your favorite moments.
Sometime I just sit
Watch the rain
Wet the sky
Night
Me
5-4-3-2-1 syllables
I don’t know if it’s a form
A form that’s got a name
But it sounded good
And so it’s poetry
It’s sounded like one for me
At least 😊
I turned
And she wasn’t there
Sleep broke
Dream interrupted
I turned
And she wasn’t there
I walked too quick
Kicking up the dust
I turned
And she wasn’t there
Wind blew
Tapping my shoulder
I turned
But she wasn’t there
I waited
For the next day
The world turned
Yet she wasn’t there
Closing my eyes
I saw her
In me forever
She was always there
अपनी ही धुन में
थिरकते पांव मदमस्त
बेख़ौफ़ बेफ़िक्र
दरिया की मौज
किनारों के अंकुश से
कभी की वफ़ादारी
तो कभी बनी बाग़ी
दरिया की मौज
चले समंदर की ओर
अपनी सुदबुध छोड़ कर
अपनी पहचान भूल कर
दरिया की मौज
हिम की औलाद
समंदर में समायी
रह गयी तो बस
दरिया की मौज
Far above the clouds
There lies no boundary
Down where the shadow travels
The bind remains same, but the rule changes
Flying as a speck in the sky
There is just the wind and sunshine
Down where lies the fissures
Meaning remains same, but the sound changes
Flying far above the din
Blue sphere floats serene
Down below in the flat land
Sunshine remains, but colour of the skin changes
Far above the clouds
where there is no boundary
And down below where it’s divided
People remain same, the thought changes

दोस्तों के साथ
छुट्टी का आया है मौक़ा
भर के रखे खूबसूरत कपड़े
बस कोई नक़ाब नहीं रखा
कुछ उसने किया
कुछ हमने कर लिया
सबसे बेहतर होने का
ऐसा कोई ख़िताब नहीं रखा
जितना सोचा
उससे ज़्यादा खूबसूरत पाया
जितनी सुंदर यादें बटोरी हैं
वैसा तो कभी ख़्वाब में भी नहीं देखा
कई नज़ारे देखे
ख़ुशियों का ख़ज़ाना हाथ आया
जितना भी मिला बाँट लिया
बस कोई हिसाब नहीं रखा
हर चीज़ ख़त्म हो जाती है
अच्छे दिन शायद कुछ और जल्दी
फिर मिलेंगे, ये जानते हैं
इसलिए अलविदा कहने का रिवाज़ नहीं रखा
The warmth
You feel in our embrace
is not of the blood
coursing through my veins
but of the beating heart
Filled with love
The embrace
goes deeper than the skin
Through the welling eyes
And the fragrant breath
To the echo of the heart
And to the bliss there
In that core
You will find me waiting
For there, is where we first met
and there, is where
we will find ourselves
Together,
Forever
