Crossroad

Stupefied by emotions,

Memories gone by.

I see your hands leaving

Your steps receding away.

Tears crossing your cheeks

Muddled dreams with outburst of pain

Puts a wall of silence across.

Where are you going ?

I want to say sorry

Alas! She kisses me on the crossroad

She touches my heart that beats for you,

The heart that is yours.

She holds me tight, hugs

The wall reinforces ...

but I want to ask!

Are you expecting an apology?

Are you expecting a confession?

Standing on the crossroad,

Bewildered, I am battling with myself.

तेरी-वो-बात-ना-आई-है

राह देखते तेरी , शाम  ढलने को आई है।

तेरे क़दमों के निशाँ मिटा भी ना पाई की रुश्बाई चली आई है,

आई है सूखी पंखुरियों की खुशबू,

बस तेरी याद आई है , तेरी परछाई ना आई है ,

बस तेरी याद आई है , तेरी परछाई ना आई है।

बंद करने पे आँखें, तेरी हर बात नज़र आई है ,

बिखरे ख्वाबों को समेटते , मेरी आँख भर आई है।

लायी है तेरी प्यार की चाहत ,

आई है दुआ तेरी , तेरी वो बात ना आई है,

आई है दुआ तेरी , तेरी वो बात ना आई है।

My diary becomes my keeper

A long day is worth noting some day A lonely night is worth quoting sometimes When you are not with me My diary becomes my keeper

A silent talk is worth telling something

Some hushed voices are meant to shout When I miss you, My diary becomes my keeper.

Your ignorance is a bliss,

Caring a felicity When memories perturb me My diary becomes my keeper.

Today, the keeper is restless, anxious and wet with my tears Ink whimpering over nib Tears ensconced, hence failed to slake.

अंतहीन-सी-इक-आशा

अंतहीन सी इक आशा लगी वो 

मेरे माथे को चूम के 

निकल पड़ी किसी की तलाश में 

कदमों को छूके उन्हें उड़ने की चाह देके 

निकल पड़ी किसी की तलाश में 

अंतहीन सी इक आशा लगी वो 

गुदगुदाती हुई, प्यार से इठलाती हुई 

आगे पढने की प्रेरणा दे चली वो 

दे चली मुझे चार पल की जिंदगानी 

लिख चली हथेली पे इक निशानी  

अंतहीन सी इक आशा लगी वो 

किल्कारती पुचकारती 

ख़्वाबों के पंख लगाके 

मेरे सपने बुनते हुए 

निकल पड़ी किसी की तलाश में 

मुस्कुराती खिलखिलाती 

अंगडाईयां लेती हुई

मेरे गालों को सहलाते हुए 

निकल पड़ी किसी की तलाश में 

वो अंतहीन सी  आशा

The world within me

It’s realm of turbulence

Annealed with broken hope,

Quenched by worldly expectations,

Roaring every second from agony

Accumulated over eons

Imprisoned!!!

Fighting demons of bodily need

Haunted over failures

Recollecting shattered pieces

Fixing inch by inch

And praying to divine

The world within me

Is seeking peace and liberation.

Free Will

Flying on knee
floating on elbow
Refracting beyond slit
Crossing the curve line
An utopia of desire has come
Leaving behind stretches
wrinkled with worries
The way Aaron once phrased
Free will has taken a new leap.

Speak your heart Out

Written on 

On Occasion of international women’s day, 

Dedicated to most important women of my life, my Mom, Mausi, Didi, Ma'm, CollegeMates and Someone Special ;)

Weeping at Corner of room,
Hiding enough from the world;
Rude, Materialistic and selfish;
Frozen tears on cheeks;
Dry hair and Cluttered frocks;
Soul is sinking beneath unspoken.

Circulation of red is slowing down.
Racing beats is question of wounds.
Consolation fossilized with dry lips,
Carrying burden on heart,
Cycling through dusk and dawn!
Oh Come on! It’s over!

It has over now!
Come one!  Speak your heart out!
Stand up on feet and
Hold my hand to walk without Complain.
Say to world “Hello again”.
Resurrection of love is smiling,
Knocking at the door to open,
Spelled by your Beauty Divine!!

Come on! Speak your heart out!
Activate and continue your fight.
Laugh and Smile under night.
With Confessions made in heaven,
Stars are lit seven.
Promises are kept to hold you forever!
Hold your hand tight ever and forever!
Oh Come on! Speak your heart out!

You say heart of stone never loves!!

You say a heart of stone never loves,
never loves a broken crockery,
a cracked piece of glass and
Crushed tumbler kept at my table
and broken piles of wood
lying on muddy floor.


But have you tried to touch my heart?
Have you ever felt love unconditionally
Bonding beyond visible range
Where Mother Nature is loving
So truly and so holy

Signifying each and every atom
Presence of love from lap of almighty father
Kiss of holy mother at forehead
So true and pure
synchronizing you and me with
every vibration, up and down
beyond unimaginable thinking

Holding fallen 

Grasping unbalanced

keeping you by side

helping days and night

Chills and burns, sandy storm

Frozen, cold and molten form

Almighty never stops caring

Loving endlessly without a glitch

making presence every moment

at height higher than thinking

with depth deeper than sadness

Unquestionable unstoppable

Sparking and igniting dead’s into living

Answers to every quest fundamentally proving.

And still you say heart of stone never loves!!
