women dont struggle in vain

not when they are alone

even if they  have to be ressucitated

every time their bodies are  about to give up

their spirit has endured for centuries

negotiations  around empty spaces

bahut door se chal kar aaya hun suno tumharey paas
tum mujhey thoda aur waqt to do,
kuchh kaam baaki hai, unhey bhi nibta lun aaj
kabra ko sajao, lekin besabri na uski shaksiyat ho,
chian se so jaunga, jab mujhey usme dafan karegi duniya
lekin jo ped ugega us par,
uski shakhon se
kuchh to badlega is duniya mein
is lieye aur kuchh ho na ho,
meri raakh mein teri mehabbat ki thodi kashish to ho
jo bhai baithega is ped ki chhaya mein
usmein kuchh kar gujarney ki khwahish to ho

waisey meiney ibadat mein kabhi kami nahin ki hai
teri mohaabat mein jamaaney ko badalney  ki justaju ki hai
tu agar mujh par meharbaan ho bhi jayey, to aey khuda
mainey to sada dard ke kajal se nasihat li hai
aaknon ko kabhi nam na karunga yeh kya bas  ek vada tha,
arey muskurahat ko chehery par tanganey ki kasam jo li hai

jee karta hai gehri neend mein so jaun
peepal ki parchhai ki tarah
teri god mein kho jaun
lekin jindagi itni aasan bhi to nahin ho sakti
ssaasno ki khusboo se seeenchu main apna chaman
tum bhulo ya na bhulo kuchh bhi
lekin main kaash sab kuchh sada ke liyey bhul jaaun

Ek ped bola ek chidiya se,

Tu kyun baar baar in purani shakhaon par aati
hai

 

Aakar apna ghonsala  banati
hai

Chidiya
boli,

tu to pagal hai

Teri chhaya se dil mera ghayal
hai

Ped
kahan sunta tha aisi meethi baantey

Bola,
pagal to tu hai, jo sunati nahin kuchh bhi

Itney
chhaya dar ped hain, par jaaney kyun

Inee shakhon par ghar banati
hai

Chidiya boli, sun, tujhey ek raaj ki baat batati
hun

Saara ka saara aakash

Mein apney pankhon me chhupa laati
hun

Tujhey
kabhi jarurat padey to batana

Barish
na ho, sukha pad jayey

To
mujhey bulana

Merey aanuson se apn jadon ko
phir se jilana

when a few leaves are shed

a tree does not cry o r bemoan their departure

it just readies for the new ones

but do the  leaves feel the same way

morning dew has soaked all the grass

walk slowly and dont mind

if your feet are wet

washed

and with little knocks by the grass blades

tinglings awaken your senses

to dream all the beautiful things

that you and the spirt

growing in you

quietly aspires

dosti ki khatir khud ko khatm kar bhi do, to kya gam hai

lekin apni jado ko seenchaney ki kasam ka kya hoga

badlon ki vasiyat

ek sachhi si niyat

aur un sab aankhon mein

ubharey aansuo ki neenv ka dard

kya wo in sab se mit payega

lekin usko mitana hi kyun jaruri hai

sab kuchh saha hai, bahut saha hai

kya is liye chup rehna majburi hai

jab khamoshi ki aawaaj bahut unchi ho gayi

to fizaon mein achanak chuppi chha gayi

aur hawon ne bolna band kar diya

aur darakht saham se gayey

badalon ne sharm se aakash ki chadar audh li

aisye mein kuchh shabdo ne janm liya

lekin vivash ho, unki   kokh ko kya hua 

paribhashayen badli

barf si chattane pighli

lekin ek nadi ka dil ab adheer hua

samundra na sukh paya

lekin dhara ke sneha se

usney bahut saar bojh uthaya
