curiosity, concern, compassion and collaboration
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, YADONÂ 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
gandhi ki baat ko, chalo ab aagey badaya jayey
uskey dandwo ke beejon ko, chalo phir se ugaya jayey
spashta saral hai, par arth dhumil hojaatey hain
dandwo ke paton mein pis kar,
kuchh kshana sahaj ho jaatey hain
chalo unhi kshanao ki baad ko ugaya jaayey
jo bhi ankur senha ke komal hain
unko apekshayaon se bachaya jaayey
depth of a lake
asked the breadth
do you feel the
difference
when the sun dries
your boundaries
and you come closer to me
inch by inch
breadth coudl not help laughing
we are just the reflection
of each other
can one live without
the other
why should then
this question bother
how will breadth reply
what will happen to sun
when it will have no more
light to scatter
dilemma of a priest
put him in a tight spot
should he answer the prayers
and step down
or stand on pedestal and let
the devotees frown
he changed his clothes
went to a forest
to harvest the tubers of a creeper
which had intertwined around the trunk
of a tree
alone and free
