i am very happy that 

you are back 

where u belong, 

the ethereal world of faith, hope and trust, 

who knows, and who cares

whether there has grown

on the iron girdle, a lot of rust

what matters is the cleavage

in the destiny of all the constraints

which prevented you from crossing over

to this world

here and now

the joy, love, and a concern, very fair, very just

 jab bhi hoga raushan,

koi diya tat par kisi nadiya ke,

kya malum kis lehar ko,

 phir sujhega thoda chhal,

 bina kisee andolan ke,

phir bheegega koi aanchal,

tum ab aur deep jalao,

 man mein koi geet bajao,

nahin kisee ki karo prateeksha,

chaltey jao, bas tum chaltey jao

why should the morning wind

not spare the grass

of caresses of dew

and strokes of warm slices of touch

of the wishes that blossom

in the garden of instinctive love

why should we remain on the edge

of the lake

in which lillies bloom to attract the bees

that will not betray the

nectar of disinterested

devotion,

boond boond kar ke bhara tha, sagar itna bada

kyun tumhey yeh khali laga, bolo, kyun laga

kya suraj tumharey baag mein ek naya ug aaya hai,

uski garmi ne sara mom merey dil ka pighlaya hai

jara soch kar batana, kitna bhoja dil par tha  ab tak

kis ki baat lagi thi dil par, kyun man itna aahat tha ab tak

 kya ab shaam ho chali hai jindagi ki, kisney kaha

yuhin kabhi koi takleef kam hoti nahin, mera dil bahut baha, khub baha

do we escape the orbits of oscilating time bells

why should not we shout

at the peak of our voice

how nice is it to

feel

what is said, and what is not

but then we should still express

all the thoughts

that surface on teh brim of teh cup

in which you have poured the tea of tired tears

conundrum is not what it seems

the mist only evaporates when light sparkles

but then urge to explore wanes

so, better we pursue long term goals

not knowing what is better, reaching some where or just trying to

kyun har saans ka hisab rakhtey ho bhai,

kitna hisab dena padega,

jara socho to sahi,

har pal khush raho

yahi to dua kee thi, phir kyun Kaali naraz ho gayi

kya udaasi ke mausam mein

mayusi ki chadar udhana jaruri hota hai

nahin mein to muskano ke pardey mein se tumko dehunga

tum agar mayus bhi ho to, koi baat nahin,

hans jao

jindahi ke saarey gam  pi jao

ummeedo par hi to saara aasman kayam hai

tum chand nahin to koi tara ban jao

smile o little  drop of dew

after all you have succeeded today

in making her  eyes wet without making her cry

she may not realize

what it takes to be happy

but you have moistened her lips

so that she could avoid he cracks

that will leave a bad taste in mouth

and then she would forget all the good things of life

bless her, she is like a breeze

which does not just shake the curtains

but also opens the windows

so that one can see through the rays

which you, o drops of dew reflect

every time some one loses hopes

shine shine, o drop of dew

nothing can stop, nothing actually ever stops

kya Kaali tum thak gayi ho

phir kyun tumney itna anand diya

kyun baaaarish mein bhigo diya

saarey baalon ko

jinko sukhaney ke lieye mujhey alwa ab jalana hoga

lekin google ki gond ( dhoop)  bhi to jalaani hogi

kahin khushboo kam ho gayi

aur tum phir se rooth gayi

to kya hoga

moist breeze has manured all the pains 

but i have decided that  

i will not let them take over

 all the terrain  

that i had extracted from the jaws of

time

that you and i shared all the while

clouds gathered their share of drops

from all around

i will smile, laugh and try

that you let me steer the boat

when waves protest and you are unsure

but only then i feel

will manure of unsaid meanings
