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…

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.

Dwindling

When I looked through the window, I saw you. I saw you, wrecked. I gazed through your cracks. I saw you, damaged. The sublime rays falling on your body, made your dwindling evident. And then in retrospect, I saw myself. Yes, you reflected me; my soul. Yet, we both; Here, standing tall; Sturdy. The melancholy…

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…

Where will I meet you?

There is a voice,Constant in my mind;And it’s the same question that it unwinds.Where will I meet you?Where will we be?Do you still, have that love for me? I go places,I see the humanity;But my heart revolves,Around a single identity. There may be no tomorrow,There may be no us;There may be no loving heart,To create…

Mera Sapna

Woh mulakat aaj bhi ek sapne jaisa lagta hain. Us shaam woh dabe paon, Chupke se mere kinare aake baitha. Uski muskurahat ne mere sapne ko hakikat ka jama pehna diya tha, Ek untarashe chehre ko tarashke meri aankhon ke samne bitha diya. Woh mulaqat aaj bhi ek sapne jaisa lagta hain. Meri aakhe ek…
