Month: January 2007

little worries and big joys,
come in the bundles, u c
when i ask, look do not sleep
keep awake, lest dreams over take
i am being stingy,
the images of intimacy
are not etched in stone
these are like clouds
which rain
when u need them
and do not rain, some times
when u need them
but they always provide the shadow
under the bright sun
walk, walk, my dear friend, walk
do not run

we pray through the silence

we meditate

when we are on precicpice

why not stop, slow down and ask

are we seeking the answers

or just observing

what had been the season’s smile

fallen flowers

and wind did not like the piles

take away

wither

scatter

do not colelct

these signs

indicate hope

that times will change

it will rain

when parched bellies

of the earth

will burst open

wait

why will images shrink when eyes open

the doors are ajar

and the windows are closed

the curtains are crying

why did glasses betray

the sounds

of sighs

that were masked by the smiles

i saw onyour face

when u came, stood, and turned away

sea saw will continue its swing
best is to remove the fulcrum

or else be ready to let mood get wings
to fly, or dive or look deep

search some memories or promises

from the heap

who knows what will turn your destiny today

when two season,s yug, times, moments meet

little blossoms on the way
do not ask
whether to stay awake
or sway
the moods of the bumble bee
who comes some times
and decides to remain away and free

sneha mila itna saara, phir kyun man mera thoda sa khali hai

kitney hridayon ki dhadkan mein, kampan yeh kaisa bhari hai

kyu hua aaj, kya bana kaj,

jo itni ummeedein ban badal chhayi hai

kahin koi poochhey panchi se,

kya khabar nagar se laayin hain

lagta hai, shodh hua kuchh aisa

antarman ko chhua kuchh aisa

jitni bhi shikan thi maathey par,

ban muskan wahi ab sabney payi hai

chalo karey kuchh nayi shuruat

miley phir se, aur karey kuchh baat

jeevan ki manjil abhi mili nahin

phir kyun sansein alsayin hai

chalo karao prayan, taano aisi taan

bhul sabhi dard puraney,

kirno ke taron se, ab tumney

chadar swapno ki bunwayi hai

walked for years
on the road,in the villages
and amidst mountains
looked at all the valleys and peaks
the wells which were deep
harvested smiles
harnessed piles
of laughter and cries,
now i am empty
waiting for the sun to rise
morning bird is already
chirping
announcing the clamour of some rays
to enter
my heart
from here, there and every where
why not the window locks be broken
why not the sails of the boat
be opened
let me be flown away
roved by the waves
some where
the hopes meet
the bigger sky
every day, every time and
without asking
why

when we blend with the spirit of the time and place

we liberate each other from

the bonds of accountability

just to ourselves

we expand the space

and fold the time

in wraps around the meanings sublime
