We are a mere reflection

We are a mere reflection
ऊँचायीयों से डर लगता है
गिरने का खौफ है
उड़ने का हुनर, सीखा नहीं
गिरने का शोक है
क्या फ़रक है
कौनसा सही
एक उभरता है
एक ढलता है
दोनों सिरों में
डोर तो एक है
एक पाने में जुटा है
एक खोने में खुश है

Wishing you all a very happy Independence Day. May we remember the reason we are independent and the people who made it possible. May we remind ourselves the price and responsibility of independence. Jai Hind 🇮🇳

This night is weary
I will close my eyes
let’s creat a new day
I need a bath
Soap and froth
Spray of water
A scrub and wash
Body weary
Full of grime
Heart laden
With hate and crime
Some I like
Others I hate
Cage of destiny
Bind of fate
Happy moments
Brings a smile
Sad ones follow
After a short while
Full of anguish
String of regrets
Missed opportunities
And some lost bets
I carry the burden
Memories from the start
Furrows on the forehead
Worries in the heart
In the holy,
One dip I yearn
to unshackle the web
Many things to unlearn
I run the water
Bring up the froth
Scrub clean the weary skin
Emerge free, pure at heart

घास के पत्तों को
कुचले जाने की आदत है
मेरी खवाइशों की भी कुछ
कुछ ऐसी ही आदत है
औस की बूँदों ने
हर बार सम्भाला है
ख़्वाहिशों की मौत को
कई बार टाला है
ज़मीन से जुड़ा हूँ
मैंने कहाँ जाना है
कुचलते कदम गुज़ार जाएँगे
मेरा तो यहीं ठिकाना है
किसकी जुस्तजू है
किसकी आरज़ू है
यहाँ क्या ख़त्म है
कहाँ कुछ शुरू है

the morning comes
The day begins
Some asleep, some are awake
Some step out
Some stay in bed
Everyone has their stake
It belongs to everyone
Equally and fair
The sun, the clouds, the lake
Meeting old friends
Living through those happy moments again
Memories refreshed
Bonds made stronger
Feeling trenched deeper in the hearts
Connections of heart
Stronger than relations
Find your Path
Live your Dream
Be your Purpose

Arrow of time
It moves perpetually forward
Uncaring of happiness
we are steeped in
Happy moments
we cling to blissfully unaware
till the moment of goodbyes
Quietly creeps in
