आज आसमाँ भी हुई तेरे क़तरे से लाल, कहीं ये रंग लिख़ ना जाएँ इस देश का भावी हाल। बारूद के धुएं में अब सांस लेना हैं मुश्किल, रखवाला ही बन रहा हैं इस धर्ती का क़ातिल। येह ज़मीं हैं तेरी भी फ़िर काहें का रेष, चंद लम्हों की ज़िन्दगी जीले बिन द्वेष। – अंकुर…

The Sun Temple Guide
Well, this was the first ever hired guide in my life. I refrain from talking a guide and prefer reading the boards instead. However, that morning, he walked right in front of my face and even I managed to crack a good deal with him. So, there was my guide “Mr. Bideshi Swain”. Well, I…
Witful
I was flowing in the wild, like the marram grass. Dry and gusty, and was so jaunty. You sneaked into my life, hiding in the mist. Quenching my eternal thirst, with your dripping tears. I bestowed myself with your dews of love, wilful that I will be clammy forever.

Your love came in a palanquin, And the day it was offered, I vowed to keep it unscathed. Here, I’m just a keep; keeping my oath from that day till my last.

Darkness Beneath Luster
I walk past the lanes, Invaded by many and countless times, Still want to invade it in my own way. Through the hours of darkness, I emerge with my glitterati, Leaving my surreal remark. They see my pass by illuminating and hoot with laughter, But they fail to see my darkness beneath the lustre.
Incomplete
You covered my sky like life with your clouds. They were bright, bubbly and smiling. You made me look good. Everyone looked up to me because of you. You made me look beautiful. Sadly, they have become dark. So, dense that even your sunshine can’t penetrate. They are so heavy with pain and emotions that…
