where will the waves go
the banks are eroded
and the sand does not shine any more
rays rebound
the smiles abound
and yet the pain has a few games to score

every storm -passes
so does the day into  night
but then some things stay still,
the stars which only fade away when sun
insists on taking all the space
but once it is tired
they have a chance to say
their part
in the play
who knows the end
why should one know the end
next is the moment
which will embrace the
fires, untold, unfelt, unseen

fear of being found out
in love with my reflection
i broke the mirror
but with many more images now around me, scattered
all over, i had realized
i was not afraid
of my reflections
nor of the pain
of finding out so many variants
i was actually afraid
of finding in me, the truth
of Your presence

when out of generosity, tomorrow eats today

the moments are saved and the era gives way

whatever happened to the basic faith we lack
why do people get annoyed, when mirrors  crack

how do we reconcile, why rays are stronger than the sun

when do feel, what did we give, when was our job done

be the road, not the destination

said the priest

sitting on the road side

for weeks

meditating and praying quietly

but the flow of the river

will not stop

no matter how much you try and hope

let me the boat

without oars

let waves rule the time,

and let light wear a meaning sublime

baton ka jikra kyun, shabdo ki fikra kyun

mausam yeh maun ka hai,

awaz ka intzaar kyun

jab hriday swayam bolta hai

FELL ON THE GROUND

THE BRANCHES COULD NOT CONTAIN

THE FURY OF LONE,

SO RARELY FOUND

AMONG THE BIRDS,
THAT SELDOM FLY together,

and yet leave

scars of their

seduction

on the back of the saint

lost for so long

in his deep

meditation

TUMNEY MAUN LIYA, SHABDO KO TAUL LIYA

JO BHI THA SWARTH,  MAN MAEIN GHAUL LIYA

THODA YADI SOCHA HOTA, YADON  KO NA KAUSA HOTA

JO BHI THA BHEETAR DARD

USI KO MAAN SACH, MERI NISTHA KA YEH MAUL KIYA!!

WASNA KI JAMEEN SE, GHRINA HI TO PAIDA HOGI

SNEHA KI BEL BADEGI, JAB TYAG KI SEEDHI HOGI

TUMNEY KAB SAMJHA HA MITRA, JEEVAN KE IN MARMO KO

THODA THAMO, DHEEMEY CHALO, AUR SUNO

DHADKAN SACHHAI KI AAS PAAS HI KAHIN HOGI

sneha ke pul banao

aashaon ki seemayen todo

sankalpon ke beej ugao

jo man ho akeley, unko jodo

jab bhi socho, bas itna socho,

kasey kasey dharaon ka mukh modo

shant, maun,aur  mukharit  ho kar

dard na unbharey, dambh isee ka ab mat todo
