jeetey kaun is se mujhey sarokar nahin

jeetey kaun is se mujhey koi sarokar nahin

agar hari hui manasikta ko door ham kar na skey

is jamaney mein, bahut saarey log khitab to paa letey hai

lekin baat to tab hai, jab  kisee ka dard ham apney seeney me jasb karey

do we notice all the frowns that laminate the love

do we notice all the frowns that laminate the love

do we ask why then some one decides to close the doors

through which could pass the breeze

of counsel of carefree concern

you are upset because of some hurt

but are you aware that  this hurt does not end

when we tend it so often, by cementing it with our atention

and drain all the energy that flows through

the corridor of  curiosity

about why do we get hurt

think of the little soul

seeking shelter in your lap

why should  she not smile

if you can not enjoy

the sunshine even for a while

when did i say, do not stay

when did i say, do not stay
i always wanted every moment
with you to be prolonged
and be , or may
but then life demands movement,
river has to flow
who will care
about the storms
if they were to leave the trees undisturbed
some will be uprooted
some will just swing
but a few which which get tilted
may now grow not straight
like the paths, on which we walked, straight for long till
the path turned
into an abyss of nothingness

sailboat is yearning for another whiff of breeze

sailboat is yearning for another whiff of breeze

i can see it struggling on the bed of waves,

not wlling to  leave the shore too far away

yet wanting to go to unknown island

where she may find a safe harbour \

will you be like that sail boat

or return to the place where you were always

full of intrigue and angst

but undecided about what to say, hold, hear and stay

or let the breeze have her way

sachhai ki sard hawaon se sapno ko kaissey bachayen

bahut phoolon ko dekha hai,
kabhi khiltey huey
kabhi murjhatey huey
lekin jab koi phool dandwa mein phans jaatey hain
adh khieley se, thoda muskuratey hain
koi samjhey unka matlab,
is sey pehley wo anjaan hawaon ko galey lagatey hain
tum hi batao, aisey mein kaisey kahun.
kya mainey phoolon se seekha hai
kin sapno ko apni adhuri neend se seencha hai
naya kaya hai, kya batayeyn
yadon ke beejon ko,
sachhai ki sard hawaon se

kaissey bachaheyn

maya

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, arav

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

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
