At last free

Water is free
From the confines
of the unseen glass
It leaps out
Off the rim
Into the free wind
Caught by the gust
It dissipates
into million droplets
Losing its identity
No longer liquid
Just a free vapour
Existing unseen
Separated droplets
Flowing in the air
Evaporating into clouds
There they gather
and make a plan
They hurl down
as a torrid rain
Through rivulets
they travel
Gushing on preset path
In the river they meet
Finally united
as one
Together they flow
At last free

Sadje’s What do you see # 140 #WDYS

In between the moments

Who decides,
the next moment
Does it wait for me
Or do I seek?

When do I exit
the past
and enter the present
I wonder?

If I do move
from the past
to the present,
what do I traverse?

From the past
to the destination
That is now
Where do I exist?

Does that journey
in between
go without noticing
As if in a sleep?

That state between
the then and now
Is the place
Beyond then and now.

I have left the last one
I can see the next moment
In between lies
An abyss wide and deep.

here I pause
In between the moments
For a little while
That’s where is forever.

5 am

Just in time
With the sun
Or some time
a bit before

I rise
From a blissful sleep
Or sometimes
a tumultuous one

Meeting the day
Fresh
Or sometimes
a bit groggy

Off the bed
With purpose
Or sometimes
Just laying down

A cup of coffee
a moment staring at window
or sometimes
Hitting the snooze

Its another day
We just met
I think we like each other
It would be fun

Ek sham guzri khushi ke saath

एक शाम गुज़री
साथ ख़ुशी के
बहुत हंसे
ठहाके लगा के

लायी एक तोहफ़ा
एक मुस्कुराहट
एक हँसी
ख़ुशी अपने आँचल में छिपा के

कई बातें कही
कुछ उसकी सुनी
कहा सिर्फ़ जो अच्छा लगे
बाक़ी सब मन में छिपा के

गरम हाथों से छुआ
दिलों की गहराइयों को
बैठे साथ साथ जो
हाथों में उसका हाथ लेके

एक नमी सी महसूस की
मुस्कुराहट के पीछे
ग़म की परछाईं दिखाई दी
जाने जो लगी, ख़ुशी यूँ मूड के

एक शाम गुज़री
साथ ख़ुशी के
बहुत हंसे
अपना ग़म छिपा के

Nayi dosti

फिर अजनबी हैं
मुलाक़ात का
मौक़ा ढूँढेंगे
जान पहचान का
बहाना ढूँढेंगे
वो सहमी नज़र,
उस मुस्कराहट का
इशारा ढूँढेंगे
नयी दोस्ती है
मोहब्बत का नया
फ़साना ढूँढेंगे
