Khvab

Ek khvab jo dekha tha humne…
Jis khvab ne duniya bhar ki khushiyan sametkar..
humari hatheli par rakh di thi…

Jis khvab ne har ansoo ke saath
hazaron muskurahaten di thi..
Jis khvab se bejaan tamanayen
door aasmaan mein udne lagi thi...

Usi khvab ki tasveer ab feeki hone lagi hai
Hawa ke har jhonke ke saath rang bhi udne lage hain
Hathon se girti ret ke samaan
ab har khvahish bhi fisalne lagi hai…

Bas kuch pal aur…
Phir sannate se ek cheekh niklegi...
Aur woh khvab waqt ke bhanvar mein doob jayega…

Bas yahi thi uski zindagi…
Bas kuch hi palon ki aawargi…
Khvab hi to tha…
Jo dekha tha humne…
Khvab hi to tha…

The Meeting...

Close your eyes
Feel your soul…

Tear the garb of sanity
Plunge into the madness …

Ditch the words…
Sip the silences …

Flap your wings
Unclutch from life..

Face your fears
Admit defeat...

Walk this dark tunnel
for many lonely years

and then may be my friend
we shall ‘meet’.

Jaa rahe ho?

Woh doori jo mitae thi tumne
Wahin faasle chode jaa rahe ho…
Jis chehre par hansi layee thi tumne
Wahin gam ka saaya odhe jaa rahe ho...

Hanske vida karna hai tumhe
Paar ek baat jaan lo dost mere..
Bachi kuchi kuch meri sanseein
Tum apne saath liye jaa rahe ho...

I dance alone…

Somewhere between skin and flesh
Amongst the highs and lows
I look for staring eyes...
I look for tears that can mingle with mine

I flow, I writhe, I smile, I hold…
But it doesn’t stay
It passes me by…
Another day, another night…

When the door is shut
When the sheets are cleaned
Somewhere in the water drops
I try to wash the pain away…

Back to sanity,
I try to fill the gaps
I look for answers
And make sense out of life…

But nothing happens
The trance is not broken
The hole in my heart…
Keeps getting bigger…

No tears to mingle with mine…
No one to answer the questions
No one to dance the trance…

I close my eyes..
I wipe the tears..
I dance…
Alone…
