Sochna To Chhodo

कोई नयी उमंग पनपी है कल, कुछ नयी तरकीब और एक हलचल, पर तू उन्हें लेकर बैठ गया है परेशान, सोच रहा है कैसे करूँगा, आखिर हूँ एक इंसान, हर बार यह डर की, अकर्म की, रस्म तो तोड़ो करने की अब बारी है, तुम सोचना तो छोड़ो. करने की अब बारी है, तुम सोचना [...]

Raakh

उन्ही राहों को ढूढ़ते, ना जाने मैं कहाँ बढ़ गया, ना जाने कैसी तलब थी कि मैं हर पहाड़ चढ़ गया, अँधेरे के पीछे भागते हुए, एक चिंगारी ही तो लगी थी पैर पर, पर उसे नज़र अंदाज़ कर, मैं आग में सुलग गया फिर लम्हों की राख ले कर, आगे मैं चलता रहा, बीच [...]

Beneath Apparent Depression

As I blast my hopes away, for the millionth time today, I struggle in subtle desperation, to find myself a way… As I look up in the sky, reminisce the time went by, I feel incapacitated, Now, I just want to fly… As I brush away my tears, Those experiences of the years, I look [...]

Mitthi

मिट्ठी, छोड़ गया तुझे तेरा पिया मिट्ठी, ओ मेरी मिट्ठी, छोड़ गया तुझे तेरा पिया, तुने ही तो जाने दिया, मिट्ठी छोड़ गया तुझे तेरा पिया. मिट्ठी, अब का करेगी तू? ना तेरे पास गाडी है, ना तेरे पास फोनेवा, कैसन पहुचेगी पिया पास, मिट्ठी कैसन पहुचेगी पिया पास. मिट्ठी, तू रोती काहे है, गलती [...]

The Man In The Mirror

Another day has gone, Another night approaches, While I lie and yawn, The danger nimbly encroaches. My preparation is effete, My morale, wavering, Though it is a good beat, But my voice is quavering. As the day draws near, I fear I will be slain, I dwell on the thoughts of my dear, While the [...]

Yawp?

I am at the pinnacle of my success, Every eye in this room on me, People waiting for me to speak, to share with them the knowledge I had accumulated, over the past few years. Most of them businessmen, looking to save some paper, some looking to use it to climb one more step, of [...]

Torn in Two

Why would I do this to myself? Should I answer this now, or later? Is this turmoil necessary? To what end? Is there destiny? Or do we write our own? How many times have I asked “Why me”? How many times have you replied “You deserve it.”? I’m afraid, this is as far as we [...]

She and I

Did I give it all? I wondered. Could I have walked an extra mile? Was it karma or was it fate? Answering it will take a while. I held myself and let her go. Maybe I had given up on guile. She sat in the car and looked at me And saw me waving with [...]

Days of Ends

And here we stand beside the place, Where once there were rainbow and rains, We are the victims of this rat chase, How do we remove these stains? Why did we fight, we do not know, And look what we have now done, Irony in the phrase quid pro quo, is now evident as none [...]
