Meri Shuruwat

Aaj subah maa ne bataya, Tum aayi thi kal raat. Thakawt se neend kaafi gahri ho gayi, Isi liye tumhari aahat sun na paya; Ho sake to maanf karna. Suna, kaafi der tak thi tum. Aaj kal mehsoos hota hain tum mujhse kuch khafa si ho; Ek aankh micholi si khel rahi ho. Pichli baar…

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…

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.

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…

Silhouette

Hey Sunshine,When I stand facing you,What follows, is a shadow. Something that mimics me,Something that mocks,Something that echoes my inner darkened blocks. A dark shadow,A dark reflection of my very own,Yet seamless,Clung to me. What it doesn’t reflect is my shattered soul,My wrecked heart,And the fractured mind. If you look carefully to realize,It’s only you…

Moments

On the lonely roads, I wait for you, So that no one can see us together. No questions No complaints, Just cross paths so I can see you and live that moment forever.

May the history repeat itself

As I entered the airport last night,I was upset and missed you. Not because you weren’t there,But the fear that you may never be there. It did and will always remind me of the unfulfilled promises we made,And the untraveled destinations. They say that if you have to know your partner well, travel with him;I…

Covet

The earth broke apart,All the trails disappeared.The heart broke into endless pieces.How does one convalesce the broken heart?Unfortunate me, the happiness had always remained beyond my reach,But with my pyre, I light the lantern of your happiness.May you be blessed with it wherever you may go,I pray fervently that you thrive and attain your covets.My…
