maya
your
intriguing smiles
and flips of eyelids
at your will
but in directions
every ones thinks is theirs
has beguiled the garden of hope
has spawned the fishes of faith
in the lake of love
swim as much as you can
and the banks of this lakes are being now
cemented
by links of a chain
that will grow in times to come
beyond the boundaries of known
and also unknown
be yourself always
just be yourself
just be
be

( blessings for a new born)

will you dare to stream against the tide

when  pressures will mount to succumb, will you stand up

and say, what you you like

or will you just smile, turn your face away

and take a side

of those who are unjust, unfair and  arrogant

or will you forego

the love and affection

of the loved ones and still say,

only what you must and do

what only you will

why should we break the pot of patience

just when the curry of uneasiness

is about to be ready

is it just the whimsical desire

to claim the fire

fire that engulfed us one day

when no body knew the way

of geting away

from one self

how did reflections on the scattered waves
got lost in the whirlpool of desires
the path on which we walked so long
got wiped
away
by the storm
that arose when winds moved madly
in search of a sail of a boat
which they had committed to move
across the sea of silence

how do i see my face in mirror

when my mistakes are far bigger than those

who i punish often

using my privileges

today they will decide

and by letting me go lightly

punish even harder

when the sun melted and the earth swallowed its pride

there was no option for the sea

to just be there and let both,

dissolve their heat and coldness in each other

did seasons ever betray the faith of seeds in the soil

why did then sun change its axis

andlet new forms of shadows emerge

why should rainbow in your eyes seek cover of clouds today

celebrate, be happy

share your joy with all those

who have found in you

a tree on which they hang

the threads of their faith

sneha panapey, kuchh moh ghat jayey

hriday na kampit ho, dhara bah jaayey

nayanon mein vishwas paley

pairon ko chlaney mein na koi badha aayey

jao door kahin, jao ab saathi,

mat dhundo mastool yahan

hawa naw ko ab kaisey le jaayey

na leheron ki chinta

na koi dhaga ab milta

khul gayi hai mala

kaun bikhrey moti

ab phir se un mein pairayey

when did silence rupture the meditations of a lake

lost in the whirlpool of thoughts

the boat was nervous

whther to sink, swim or just float

but then the hole in its bottom

was covered by you

folded hands blocking the leak were frozen

let me burn

so that your hands can be warmed

do not mind the smoke of burning dreams
