Music playing
in my ear
Earphones
filtering the noise
I am with me
Alone
Dancing unabashedly
in my mind
Yet sitting placid
for the outside
This imbecile foot
Tapping to the unheard rhythm
And that
imprudent smile
Giving away
My secrets
My music
Within
बादलों के परे हूँ मैं
शायद
आसमान हूँ मैं
ख़ुशियों की हवाओं में
है मेरी उड़ान
फिर भी परेशान हूँ मैं
अपने आप को ढूँढने निकला हूँ
अपने आप से
अनजान हूँ मैं
फ़िज़ाओं में क़ैद हूँ
हाँ ख़ुदा नहीं हूँ
इंसान हूँ मैं
Letters got typed
Sticking together to form words
they appear familiar
they mirror my thoughts
Sometimes truly
Sometimes to please
In their shadows
She stayed
screened and protected
They meant well
Always bearing the scorch
Shielding the sun
But little did they know
She never bloomed
She was missing the sunshine
Today she stepped out
Into the bright sun
her upturned face turning pink
In the dark he went
Leaving a scent behind
Alone I wait
On the edges
of darkness
The deep lonely black
Closing in on me
I stay alive
and sane
hanging on to the hope
Hanging precariously
on the imagined footsteps
On his cloths that hang
And a shrinking strip of light
Blank
Canvas
Stares back
Mirrors the mind
Blank
Thought
Appears
In the white
extended hands
Pull
There
Is Born
In friendship
A masterpiece
Love

Many colours
on our wings
We are like
the butterflies
Fluttering
in the breeze
In frolic and in pain
Always looking nice
The warm long hugs
The loud happy laughs
Pats on the heads
And the soothing lullabies
Talks on the swings
stretching into the night
songs of nostalgia
and a pair of moist eyes
Memories add a tinge
to the colours on our wings
Some dark crimson
Some matching the blue skies
Sun glides
on our wings
Turning dawn to dusk
Swiftly the time flies
We spring and fly
onwards on our own
Wings a bit laden
with tearful goodbyes
Bound to be back
tethered to our kaleidoscope of love
Like the rays of the sun
And the butterflies
सुबह की
ख़ामोश रास्तों पर
रोशनी की किरण हूँ में
रात की
सोए हुए अंधेरों की
पहली सुबह हूँ मैं
ख़्वाबों के
अधूरे अल्फ़ाज़ों की
अनकही कहानी हूँ में
सफ़र की
अनजान राहों का
अकेला राही हूँ मैं
मंज़िलों की
पहचान नहीं हैं
शायद पहुँच गया हूँ मैं
