Falling

Falling
I am falling
Faster and heavier
Pulled inwards
Yet surging out
The tear is wider
Ripping open the truth
Layer by layer
the sheaths are parted
the endless fall ends
Static at the bottom
There in the abyss
There appears a light
Clear as crystal
The vision is clear
In a mind placid
There are no sheaths
There is just me
And there lies the truth

Silent windows

Ever seen lights
in the night
Little windows
Curtained or otherwise

Spilling lights,
Telling tales
Inocent traitors
of secrets inside

Telling all
Yet holding back
Held back by
Vaguest of ties

Each one lost
In multitudes of lights
Hiding, yet being a beacon
Of another life

Another life
Full of sorrows and lies
Celebrating a happy moment
Or a momentous high

Each one trapped
With losses and gain
or with a dread
of living in vain

Each one oblivious
of other ties
other lights
with other lives

That’s why
I am indebted to the silent windows
of the things they left unsaid
of untold stories indoors

Blissfully ignorant
Greatflul to the lights
of silent windows
Curtained or otherwise

The music of the flute
And the breath of the sound
is him
The smile on the lips
And the happiness within
is him
The moment in the flow of time
The past, present and future
is him
The twinkle in the eye
The beauty in the eyes
is him
The glitter of the seen
The presence of the unseen
Is him
The warmth in the hug
The unbridled love
is him
The hope in his birth
and the unborn forever
is him

Badlon ke Pare

बादलों के परे हूँ मैं
शायद
आसमान हूँ मैं

ख़ुशियों की हवाओं में
है मेरी उड़ान
फिर भी परेशान हूँ मैं

अपने आप को ढूँढने निकला हूँ
अपने आप से
अनजान हूँ मैं

फ़िज़ाओं में क़ैद हूँ
हाँ ख़ुदा नहीं हूँ
इंसान हूँ मैं
