Ek Aashiyana Unn Nigahon Main...

Ek pal ke liye hamari or dekho,

Aapki inayat hogi

Ek pal ke liye unn nigahon ko na jhukao,

Jinme hamare liye basi ek kashish hogi

Kal kisne dekha

Hum jeeye ya mare...

Bas iss pal ke liye

Basne do unn nigahon main hume…

Tell me….

Filled with eagerness

Tell me more

Of everything I don’t know

Birds and sky

The moon and light

Of people quibbling

By my side

If you tell me I shall know

Of the present, the future and all that is worn

I trust, I fail, I get hurt, don’t know where is the end to this start....

If you tell me I shall know

My love, my friend or my foe.

Filled with Eagerness, I want to know

            Why do we cry and why is it so!!

The Fear…

Heart’s aching

Don’t know what to do

Will I die?

Or is it shrills of fear

I ponder, look around

Nothing seems to approach

Yet an ache, a torrid one

That leaves me edgy  

Relax, calm down, relax

I’m told.

How long I want to know

I’m scared, it aches

Stifled I stay on

Compose is all I can do

Right within my heart,

I tell myself….

Look Ahead, Face It and You Shall Overcome.

Times - They are a-changin…

Till yesterday I felt the sky

Today I feel the ground

Yesterday I breathed my last in the open sky

And today I breathe behind closed doors

My wings quiver, wanting to fly

But now they are snipped and snapped to limbs

I know I still have to live, let live and not die

Am just an ordinary child

Who falters and yet rises

Not to be hated but loved

I wish I remained the innocent one

And not aged with time...

*The title is taken from a Bob Dylan's song

Moment called Life...

We are either sides of the same coin

Bring mirth and grief at intervals

And we are destined to happen

Am happy am there, am happy am gone

Coz it is a vicious circle

Life ought to be gone

Time in hand enjoy to the fullest,

Live Laugh Love

Don’t worry of what is on the either sides

Between being born and dead, what exists is Life!

The Beginning....

Today I met her

She stared across giggling 

Not at me but at the glow behind me

Her eyes lit up, to the ray that paved way

How innocent was her look

That she left me dazzled throughout the day

A tiny little God’s creature

Has so much to tell and be told, to be one of us…

But would she know

What life has in store

How do i convey it to her

This is the best time of her life

Coz tomorrow she would be, just one of us

Self-made manipulator…

             

Understand them…

They want to tell me a lot of things

Lot of things unspoken

Stare at the two

I feel the depth that leaves me dazed

Wonder do I understand you less…

Why don’t you speak up

Why don’t you tell me

Why do I have to try

I feel helpless

Soften up for me to realize

That your eyes speak more than you……
