Month: November 2007

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

you will not understand

why do i wait for the  sounds of  bells

in the temple so far away

but then you have not touched a moist soil

and have not smelled its aroma

you have not seen freshly bathed banks

of a river

i have

did you see a rainbow  fractured by my faith

i was unable to let the mist decide when it will

let rainbow emerge

in the sky that seemed

so dark that any light

no matter how rerfracted

would hardly have escaped

its resolve to retain all that it could possess

but then it gave way

and i lost

why did it give way

when arguments defeat the purpose

when the trapeze is loosened in between the circus

one can not ask for more

one just lives on

and hopes

that arguments will evolve

slowly and slowly into a rumination

may the new year bring new hopes,
not only for you or those you know or love or care for
but also for those who you do not know, as yet
but who deserve your love, faith and concern ever more
