I said goodbye
to yesterday
It stayed back
in the past
with it
stayed back
my clinging,
grieving part
it was good
till it lasted
then at midnight
it became, today
I moved on
ever changing
now I am today
then I was yesterday

I said goodbye
to yesterday
It stayed back
in the past
with it
stayed back
my clinging,
grieving part
it was good
till it lasted
then at midnight
it became, today
I moved on
ever changing
now I am today
then I was yesterday

I need a new eye
an inverted one Perhaps
to see
what I see not
I need a new eye
an unveiled one perhaps
to see
Beyond the taught
I need the eye
That sees everything
I need an eye
That needs no thought
Then I will close my eyes
And I see it clear
With none of the colours
And without a fear
Then I will open it wide
And see beyond
With none of the forms
Just that happy song





मेरी हस्ती का है
रोशनी का दायरा
रोशनी से लिपटा
अंदर, साये से भरा
रोका है
मैंने रोशनी को
नादान,
उसके सामने खड़ा
तिनका
उस रोशनी में
रोक कर समझूँ
अपने को बड़ा
ना हूँ मैं
तो हो सिर्फ़ रोशनी
पहचान जाऊँ जब
अपनी असल कहानी
नयी सुबह की भोर में
दायरा सिकुड़ जाएगा
बस रोशनी होगी
साया पिघल जाएगा
If there was no me,
will there be a shadow?
Would I lose my shadow
or will I create light?

For all that I get
A bit more I desire
Will there ever be enough
Than what I require?
I must now starve
For I have eaten enough
Till the crave is lost
And there is none to corrupt
I have filled the pot
it now brims over
Must scoop every bit out
Till there ain’t no leftover
Better still to break
the clay pot into dust
Spilling all it has
Seeping and merging with Mother Earth
Scorched earth
Would call for rain
The flowing water will take away
the dust and stain
And when the new sun shines
From behind the grey clouds
There will be fresh new grass
and the shining dew drop of bliss
कई अल्फ़ाज़
यूँही रह गये
खुले आसमान में
कहीं बह गए।
वहाँ बादलों से
बारिश के साथ बरसेंगे
उन बूँदों में कहीं
शायद
अपना क़ाफ़िला मिलेगा


Six strings resonate
Strummed by deft blessed fingers
Makes music alive
