Tere Bagair

Dhalte hue suraj ki tapish aaj bhi mehsoos ki tere bagair, Bas ek tak takta raha use. Aaj ek aur shaam dhal rahi tere bagair, Aaj ek aur din beet raha tere bagair. Aaj yeah aakhein phir tarsi tere bagair, Aaj ek aur din jee liya tere bagair. Kabhi socha na tha ki zindagi bitegi…

Amalgamation

This picture was clicked with a belief, that; Someday, this will be my forever. The perpetual dream that was persistent; To be together, To be FOR EVER. The destiny had some other plans, Which did not let me culminate; And left my yearnings unadorned. Someday my love, I will be there no more, But you…

Blank

The mind is blank,yet the canvas is daubed. There’s a lot written there,yet a lot left to write. I crossed miles looking for you,yet have to cross much more. The wheels got me far from everyone,yet I couldn’t get close to you. I swayed in your love,yet you couldn’t persist the thump. I am standing…

Meri Qaid

Mere purane daftar mein khirkiyan nahi thi, Thi to bas woh chaar deewarein. Subha wahan jane ke baad, Duniyan wahi simat ke reh jati. Kayi mausam aaye aur chale gaye, Un mausamon ki khabrein milti thi saame rakhe laptop se. Log apne kaanch ki khidiyon se mausam ka luft uthate, Aur daal dete uska haal…

तस्वीर

तुम जितना भी चाहो, समय को रोकना तुम्हारे वश में नही। पर दिल तब भी कहता हैं, काश में उसे रोक पता। रोक लेता उन लम्हों को, ठहरा देता उन पलों को; जिनमें मैं गुज़ारना चाहता था सारी जिंदगी। जानता था, समय अपनी राह पे चलता रहेगा, ना तू रोक पाया था, ना मैं रोक…

Pehchaan

Haan, main koi aur hoon. Jaanta hoon main, Aur jaante the tum bhi. Par jo naqaab tumne pehen rakha tha is jahan ke saamne, tumne use hi such maan liya. Haan, main koi aur hoon. Duniya ka dar bhool kar, Utara tha maine apna woh naqaab tumhare saamne; Taaki dekh sako tum mujhe, main bankar….

Empty Spaces

The heart and mind is empty,As empty as this space.Just like a designer,Even I reconstruct my memories.Like three years ago, the very same day,We raised a toast, for the very first time,With the crystals filled with Jim beam.The ambience smelled Italian,And we were served vegetarian.The music was classic that got the conversation to flow,And I…

यादें

इन नंगे पैरो पर आज भी जब उस रेत पे चलता हूँ, हां, तेरी याद आती हैं। याद आता हैं वो पल जब इस रेत की तरह, तेरे हाथ मेरे हाथों से फिसल रहे थे। पागल लहरो की तरह तेरा प्यार, मेरे पूरे तन को भिगोकर छोड़ जा रहे थे सिर्फ आंसू। मेरे आसुओं से…

Three Summers

On a briskly breezy evening;I met you the very same day,Three summers back.You are, my frightening nightmare.You still is, my most comforting dream.

The Life Guard

Meet “Mr. Jogendra Behra”, yes that’s how he says his name when asked. He is the life guard of the private beach for the resort I stayed on my recent vacation. He is merely 20 years old and working to support his family. His father is a farmer and doesn’t earn much to run the…
