Beyond Words


Something is missing,
in the words I wrote,
Its an expression,
I never miss to quote,
They aren't quite old,
still not new,
They do mean a lot,
but were just a few.

They hide in my thoughts,
but I have no clue. 

How do some words,
with people, disappear,
When someone so close,
is not so near,
First they excite,
with feelings they chime,
Rough for a while,
before fading with time.

Hard to see words,
unwritten, unsaid,
But how do I get them,
out of my head,
Words I whispered,
time and again,
Now wont be spoken,
for a fear of pain.

A Query to God


Bullied by myths,

my thoughts couldnt dare,
Read in some book,
or heard it somewhere;
That flowers are nice,
and cruel are thorns;
Those angels have harps
and demons have horns;
But isnt it all
as one would say,
For each in his own
experienced way;
And I do have
some stories to tell,
That someday i had
landed in hell;
And boy did I
cool off my heels,
Befriend some demons,
with some zeal;
Bought some time in heaven,
was alone and lost,
A price that I paid,
much more than it cost,
Alone I wandered
through mists in dark,
For angels were busy,
fixing their harps,
They sang away for themselves
and made their share of stew,
Now I wished to be back in hell
but I never got through,
So I might just finish off
with my little letter.
Hell was like heaven
but just a bit better.

अब ऐसा है ...


पहले परेश
न थे उन उम्मीदों से,
उन आँखो से आप हमेँ परखते हैँ।
अब हैराँ है अपनी हैरानी से,
आप हमारी भी खबर रखते हैँ।

किसके बोल हैँ मेरी स्याही ...


कुछ मैँ केह्ता कुछ मैँ सुनता
कुछ अपने लब्ज़ोँ मैँ बुनता,
कुछ बातेँ जो छुप जाती हैँ,
कुछ जो केह कर कर भी जाता।

स्याही से सब छलक के आते,
फ़िर बचते तो दिल पर रखता,
वो जो आँखो से है दिखता,
उनको मैँ किस कलम से लिखता।

सुनने वालोँ की खिदमत मेँ,
कुछ अल्फ़ाज़ ये जोडे हैँ,
न इन्होने तख्ते पलटे,
न तक्दीरों के रुख मोडे हैँ।

हर किसी का इन पर हक है,
मेरे हिस्से के थोडे हैँ.
किससे पूछूँ कौन सा मेरा,
जिसका उस पर ही छोडे हैँ।

Inspired Thoughts ...


अब तो हर आहट से डर लगता है,

कभी अपना था अब अनजान शहर लगता है ...
पहले दिल
मैं शोरोगुल का आलम था,
अब तो ये सन्नाटों क घर लगता है।

उनके आने से खिल
जाती थी कभी कलियाँ,
अब तो बहार पतझड लगता है,
बारिश
जिन बून्दोँ का इन्तज़ार था हमेँ,
अब बिज
ली का गरजना कहर लगता है।

इक इशारे से झुक जाती थी वो पलकें ,
अब पलकों पर अश्कोँ का दरिया
बहता है,
तेरी तरफ़ जो मुसाफ़िर
रुख कर ता था ,
अब उन्ही गलियोँ मैं वोह बेमन्ज़िल सफ़र चलता है।

अब तो हर आहट से डर लगता है,
कभी अपना था अब अनजान शहर लगता है ...

I kiss your silent lips


With a closed pair of eyes,

And pouted lips to kiss,
I seek my world back,
my lost eternal bliss.

I waited for this moment,
when in my arms you sleep.
but you leave for you ve got
some other promises to keep.

Many sleepless nights that I spent
to give you a pretty name,
And every day that I counted,
eager for the day you came

Weeping yet smiling I crumble
my eyes cannot lap my tears
I hold you close to myself, but
it hurts me with you being so near.

Stars are withering now,
and silent is the moon,
illuminating the darkness,
daylight will be here soon.

Every breath is stinging,
still a couple of sighs I drew
its time to kiss your silent lips
and say a good bye to you...
and I kiss your silent lips
and say a good bye to you...
