Month: February 2012

Just imagine a rock
Carved by a river
In millions of years
Just imagine
The patience, persistence
Continuous resistance
So that one gives
Little by little
In to the other
A piece of river
Carved into a rock

have not you already taken so much of poison
and still you are not satisfied,
has too much of nectar become poison
the dance of tandav ( destruction) has made the earth unstable
but your obstinate indifference is quite stable
it seems season of spring has mutated into autumn with leaves falling over
yearning for nectar has become the poison
has poison in your throat become nectar

wish paan kiya

wishpan to kiya bahut,
lekin atrapt kyun ho abhi,
amrut kahin atee to nahin ho gaya,
tandav ki dhadkan ne kiya asthir dhara ko,
par sthir hai phir bhi tumhari nisthurta
lagta hai, basant kahin patjhad ho gaya,
amrut ki pipasha wish bani,
wish terey galey mein kya amrut ho gaya

o shiv, mujhey itna adheer kyun kiya
kyun mujhey itna senha diya
vish diya mujhey sara ka sara
lekin phir jeevan dan dekar amar kiya
yeh kaisa ashirwad diya, shiv tumney
shiv tumney inta kyun sneha diya

may be, the tether of the teasing slant is still connected
the roost are not dry yet
the slimy skin of tadpole is still wet
though there is drought all around
dont ask, why
the address is unknown
why the name plate is torn away
why the street ends in a dead end
because the last house has broken down
debris will not be cleaned
the creepers growing on it will not bloom’
but i will still dig a grave
and bury the fallen stars
from our sky
lest they are picked by birds to sow stars
in your sky
any sky
on sly

when did i say enough
did i ask, did i stop
or did i complain
but then is it the reason
i am feeling the way i am

aaj thode udaseen se they tum
kuchh khaali khaali se aawaj thi
bhari bhari aankhey lagi
kahin kisee patjhar ki khushboo
to tumhey aangan mein lagey
foolon ki sugandh se takra to nahin gayi
shayd ab vasant halkey se aaya
tumhey dwarey kai khushiyn=an laya
aur badley mein
saari ummmedey
tang gaya
bahar ek keel par
jis ko abhi haal hi mein gadha tha
lekin hawaon ne un ummeedon ko bikhra sa diya hai,
tumhey shayad apney hi andar basa liya hai

dont ever ask why did not i ask,
for a reprieve
when you were around
and i was locked far away
in my fights with my instincts

when you emptied my vessel
and asked me to collect dew drops
if i had to find a way to
deal with tears
i could not say,
you gather all the smiles
from my garden and
evaporate the sugar solutions sprayed
in your vessel
may be the crystal so formed
will refract some light
and let you see, feel, and may be
delve into the crucible of pain
