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 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…

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…

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…

One Summer Noon

On a hot summer afternoon,on a secluded road;I stopped him for a ride.Like anyone else,Even his demand was obnoxious. But today, looking at him,I couldn’t bargain much.As if I really wanted to take that ride,not because of the weather;but maybe not to lose sight of him,even if it was for that span. I sat right…
