kisee khushnuma baat ka jab jikra ho
kisee ki saugat milney ka jab sabra ho
kisee honey waali sambhavana ki ummeed
jab poori honey ka paida karley intzaar
to samajh lena merey dost,
ab waqt aagaya hai, khmoshi ka
kisee lamhey ko uski niyati tak pahunchaney ka
ek hi aarjoo hai merey man mein
koi abhilasha na ghar  banaley apney dil mein
toot jayengey gharondey saarey phir
banayaey hain mil kar ab tak
ham sabney jaamaney ke liye

ek aawaj hai, jisko aaj bhi sun sakta hun

kisee ayojan ke bina,

apney baag ke phoolon ko

tumharey baalon mein gunth sakta hun

kabhi jhuk kar agar aasman thoda paas aa bhi gaya

to apni aaknon mein uske saarey baadalon ko panah de sakta hun

aise hi kisee badal par baith tum jab gaye they kahin

intzaar mein uskkey, koi aitraj na karey,

is liye yaadon ko uski befikra mita sakta hun

why has myopia become an universal disease

why do visions become so narrow

what has happened to the human desire to look

beyond

has telescope maker of the world

taken leave

have we all become
possessed by myopia,

is it possible that we overcome it soon

or is it just a vain utopia

Meri sadhana ab hogi aisi

Tum dorogi, bhagogi, na hogi koi muflisi

Kisee ka nahin rehna hai ab hamey muhtaaj

Hotho par hogey nagmey, hathon mein hoga saaj

Nahin uthaney hai kisi ke nakhrey

Par mohabaat me kami na hogi,

 lekin karenegy thode se jhgadey

 

Kisee ke liye assman ko bantaney main

Nahin hogi koi bhi ab  kanjoosi

Koi ilzaam lagayey chahey kitney bhi

Unko nahin ab shikayat honi chahieye

Laga tha ki unka hissa cheena tha kiseeney

Aaao dekhen apney bharat ke liye ek sapna

Thoda ho tumhara, aur thoda ho wo bas apna

Thodi si ho usmey nafasat,

Thodi si ho usme shararat

Thoda sa ho usme pyaar

Aur thoda kardey wo sabko hoshiar

Aao dekhey apney bharat ke liye ek naya sapna

Dard lagey ab apney, unkey jinhoney uthayey anginat khatrey

Koi na kahey kisne izzazat di, malham kyun jakhmon pe lagaye

Thodi si ho ab halchal,

Pad jayey unkey chain me khal

Thodi si paida ho baichaini

Thodi se kam ho jaaye parehshani

 

Aao aisa buney ek aakash, jisme ho paiband muhabbat ke anek

Koi rakhey apni uljhaney sambhal ke, aur koi de unko befikri se phenk

Zamana ho masti ka, umango ka, haath me haath dal chalney ka

Band ho jaayey chalan ab, kisi majboor ko, bina sharm  chhalney ka

Aao dekhey apney bharat ke liyey ek sapna

Thoda ho tumhara, aur thoda ho wo bas apna

ek aakash tumharey paas hai,
ek baadal merey pass hai

kuchh muskurahatey jab idhar udhar miley,
to unko sambhal ke rakho,
kya pata, kis mein chhupi ho,
thodi sarsarahat
thodi si shararat,
aur thodi si aahat
un yadon ki jinnhey
ham bhulaney ka bahana to kartey hai,
par unkey yaad yaaney par,
bahut gehri saans ley
aanhey bhartey hai

yeh jindagi ka sach,
chhupao mat
imandaari se jiyo
kuchh gabhrao mat
sachhai se jeeny ka sukh sabko kahan milta hai
jinkey garondey ret ke hain
unhey toofano ki god
mein sir chhupaney ka sukh kahan milta hai

mainey toofano se dosti ki hai
mainey jamaney ke dastooron ko toda hai
maine dard ke sej par
apni kabra ko khoda hai
aao, aaj phir se mil kar
yeh pran kareny
jo bhi miley
uski takleef kam karey
apni takleefon ko
raaastey ki dhool samajh
hawaon ko arpan karen

Have you tilted the rainbow

In your eyes a bit too much

Have you stumbled a bit

too often, but not really, as such

you did not need to hold my hands

when you gathered some strength

howsoever I wish, again and again

we will hold hands, nevertheless

I will always laugh, when you fight

With little one, and care for him so much

But if I demure a bit, and chuckle

Because I will be noted, to miss that myself

We have to get used to be overtaken

By a wave of time,

that takes it in its own stride

all that we like, love and call, a landslide

the times are changing, our love too

I have been wrong, I have been negligent

And I still want to be loved

Being Imperfect, inadequate and ever aberrant

15.4.07 on way to china

Why did you not wipe

my tears, ever,

In fact not a tear

Even when your hands,

Your warm hands,

were so near

why did you hold the pain,

all of it for so long

why did not you let me flow

why did you become so sane

what is this which makes me

feels so bewildered

have I plucked the flowers

forbidden, even if withered

why will you cry now, when

it is all over

I have to heal my love

No matter what it takes, for ever

You may worry a bit now and then

And also complain, if I do not take care

Of myself, and also of the little lilies,

We sowed in the backyard together

But the times do not last, always

As they seem to be, at least

And thank god, they do not,

As said a wise man, change stays

Let us love, live and learn

All at the same time

Do not bemoan, do not regret

Why some tears become, a sign so sublime

We always crave for the things that we do not have

And ignore the bucket full of  smiles lying around

Is it the irony of  our times, we realize too late

The sparks of light on the way, seem like a bait

Life tests us often, and tries it old tricks, without a slip, or a slate

We miss the friends, fellows and all those

Who walked and walked along for thousand of miles

In search of truth that some considered a waste

For others, a mistaken adventure, of dried twigs and tears, just a paste

I am not sure, if I know, whether I will walk long enough

Some times, I might stumble, without having a hand to hold

Your shadows will chase me, even if you are too tired to stand

I will come back, with lot of flowers, some hot soup, and a warm hand

do not knock so many times

heard the breeze

and stopped for a while

door was not closed completely

but the darkness inside seemed to suggest

the inmates were away

wind decided to knock again
