है सालगिरह आज
लगता है पहली रात है
बहुत साल हो गये
पर आज भी वैसा ही है
चेहरे की झुर्रियों से
उम्र का एहसास है
दिल रूमानी कल भी था
आज भी कुछ वैसा ही है
कदम धीमे
और लड़खड़ाने लगे हैं
हाथों में हाथ कल भी था
आज भी कुछ वैसा ही है
तस्वीरें याद दिलाती है
गुजरे लम्हे
आईने का बयान
आज भी कुछ वैसा ही है
है सालगिरह आज
लगता है पहली रात है
उम्र सिर्फ़ एक लम्हा है
जन्मों का साथ है
🎉🥰😍❤️
A crack
From a fall
Widening deeper
disintegrating the pot
Till only mud remained
And then I knew
Mud it was
Only
Pot
was built
By two hands, Not one
crafted by care
Bound by love
And it was built
Not bought
एक फ़ैसला
जो सबको मंज़ूर हो
या वो सच
जो सबको महसूस हो
Beauty
Waits for the eyes
That sees
For when
It recognises
It glows
then it
truly becomes
Beauty
Jot down the first thing that comes to your mind.
Where’s my pen?
My job is done
I am now to wither
To merge with the soil
And feed the nether
From my nectar
Will rise the next
Drawn to me
They did the rest
My colour is lost
that was me indeed
I am not gleaming in the sun
I am in the depths, buried
I am withering away
Yet I am complete
I am not the flower now
I am the seed
Have you ever had a bad dream, that wakes you up sweaty, and then it lingers in a fuzzy way? And scared to even fall asleep. So you stay awake… Staring at the dark….
Bad dream
Plays out
Torments
behind the closed eyes
Cold Sweat
on the brow
and a pounding heart
That almost died
Woke up
relieved
It was unreal
made up with a bunch of lies
Awake now
Dream yet lingered
Fading, yet Laden
With a list of whys
Unreal t’was
But the fear wasn’t
limits of reason
It brazenly defies
I try and forget
and sleep again
unable to shed the memory
Despite the eager tries
There I lay
Staring at the dark
Afraid of my own mind
Of what it can conjure and fantasise
Half asleep
Or half awake
drifting in between
the fretful mind and tired eyes
I saw your splendour
In my first sight before dawn
And my world glowed too
