bahut intzaar rahega, agar koi khabar mile

 kya pata, kab hawa chaley, koi to patta hiley

Kisee ko lagta hai, khabar ab ho gayi hai janib

warna roshni na ho,  nazar mein,

chahat ki jab lau jaley?

baarish to bahut hui is baar

lekin phir bhi tha adhoora intzaar

koi kahey to bhi  kaise mainey

badlon ko kahan tha hawaon par aitbaar

seedi par chadhi wo kuchh aur paydaan,

lekin use to bharni thi ek lambi udaan,

 kudi nahin, na hi pankh lagayey,

par usko ab yeh kaisey samajh aayey,

 bina kude koi kahin pahunchata nahin,

 jo bhi hai aas paas wo door phir dikhta nahin

can you move a bit 

i will walk on my own in the garden todAY

dont push me

i am able to find my way through

dont protect me

i am alright there

when the difference between wanting and having does not exist

when the stairs dont take one up there

but one stays put

where one is

for long, without listening

arguing and asking

just being there

takes away

only strength stairs have

to take you up

there

the reflections of a cloud covered sun

have permeated the layers of algae

on the surface of the lake

which has not been stirred for long

by the oars of a boat

any boat

going any where,

but a boat

udaasi ki khaad banao

jitni ho, utni uski jadon mein lagao

jike beej they buoy tumney

jab chintaon ke pul todey they tumney

aao ab aanand manayey,

khushia unki ab apni baanyey

jo hain door, unko bhi sunayey

kitna madhur hai ris ris kar jeena

amrut ho jata hai, aansuon ka andar hi peena

khil kar mehko, o sundar ban ke neelotpal

mat bandho pathiko ke rath

met rauko unko jo hai rat

geet aneko gao aaj,

mat poocho, kyun na aya khat

jo bhi hai sundar, uski ho pooja

jo hai satya, na rahey  asoojha

bhujo isko, poojo isko, ho jao bas madmast

badalon ki saugandh hai tumko,

barso uskey angan mein,

jiskey haunsaley na hotey kabhi past

rehtey man mein,  jaaney kitney

unkhuley patra, unkahee baatey,

jaise ho aaj, dhundley kohery mein bhi

ek pathik unpratibhashit  sneha ke prati poora ashwast

when salt is made under an indifferent sun

i dont have a choice

when will cystals emerge

merely by  churning the water

i wait for crystals to emerge on zipta stems

but then reflections of sun rays through  those crystals

cant remove the darkness in my huts

i still stay there

in wait for sun to set

unlike others  who wait for it to rise

waqt aur kitna

hisaab mangta 

kaun khat likhta

kaun usko banchata

tum prashna karo

uttar jaan kar bhi

aur main chup rahu

jaise ho tum sahi

koi safai mat mango

suno mujhse ab aur

jindagi ko jiya hai

hans kar koi bhi ho maud
