Bas Yun Hi

Dhadkan ke aage bhi ek ehsaas hai ..
tu Dur hoke bhi kitna paas hai ..

lakeeron me sambhal ke rakhta hun,
anjaane rishton me bhi koi aawaj hai .. ..

Dil se kaise jude huye hain kai Dil,
sochta hun, puchhta hun, shayad koi jawaab hai ..

Dhadkan ke aage bhi ek ehsaas hai
tu Dur hoke bhi kitna paas hai
..


"regujar me raasta dikhta hai,
raahon me saathii koi .. "

Dream ..

in the niche of sleep,
lets place ourselves ..

me, a crescent darkness, tempting ..
you, an ivory hued lap, fondling ..

carve out a world of dream for me ..

Pigments

your kisses are still 'green' on my lips,
so are my blues

i am, here, shuffling hues ...
waiting for another 'pink' blush

drop !

eye blinks,
a tear drop drips,
tries to jump on my palm ..

it evaporated in the half-way

was it your heat in closure of mine

or

was my heart burning for the distant you ?

Dariyaa ..

koi Dariyaa tarasho meri is jameen pe,
ke aaj beh nikalne ka man kiya hai ...

pighlaa to chuka hun apne wajud ko
par kya wasl-e-yar ho paayega ..
kya do jism ek rooh ho paayenge ...

hawaon ka isharaa kya kehta hai ?
kis simt chaloon mai ab ?

Iconoclast

blast me O Iconoclast
explode the core me,
i've got tired in my hollowed shrine,
amid my petrified nuiances,
pebbled glances and chafed touches ..

blast my inner O Iconoclast,
abrase those sillouthee
that occupy a lucidity hung invisbly in the milieu ..

inject the thunder in me,
cracks are treading its way into me,
let the air entraped in my voids loose

smash, crump me ..
shatter me into pieces of varying volumes

Chronological ..

chronological ..
some years back ..

remembering you,
may be you are present in there, within my memories
or just cause a pain
in the rear of my head
of being absent ..


today ..

morning was as sunny as was on that day ..
and may be the night will also hum its song,
wondering what semblance was there in us !!

perhaps you were a superstition
reforming each year
yet in an unchanged way ..

or just a myth,
a tale that i always wanted to tell
to my heart ..

..



fishing the moments
out of the sea of time ..
got some crabs also,
- crablike memories of yours -
each time when a bit of it pops up,
other pulls back it ..
but believe me, i am glad now ..



.. dribbling my words ..
