I wrote this poem on 14jan 2003… one of my earlier works… probably why nothing dark in it
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
I shall be there for you,forever and ever to come
To be with you always,to be not two but one
walk with you through lanes ahead dark and sly,
be with you through all your sorrows and strife.
We shall show the [...]
I will love you .. come what may
Maybe that night…
This is a translation of a Hindi poem I wrote in May 2004 …
Dusk was approaching the city covered by lights,
there was commotion all around, hustle in someone’s mind.
Shadows cast by dark clouds encroached upon the sunlight,
as he kept walking on a path that had been nothing but unkind.
An ordinary man, he traveled on the [...]
The devil and Man’s future
A foul quiet shattered as the breeze filled the midnight with an eerie howl,
Both quiet and howl were deafening ,the land lay devoid of any soul.
The moon was at its full in the sky,it’s light immaculate milky white,
Land bereft of it by such clouds,whose darkness was envied by the night.
Suddenly rose a pandemonium piercing the [...]
On the path of love….
His body was on the ground,as life was dripping out
His eyes were dry and open,as the sun burned them out
The hay was flying hither tither, dust swirled in the air
The dryness of the Lips,was causing them to tear.
He lay there amputated,not his body,just his soul
He just wanted to leave,bid adieu to the world
His mind held [...]
you complete me
Every moment that passes by,
Holds your picture in my eyes..
The thought of you does not go away,
I love you, in my heart you stay…
O! my love , it was an Utopian life,
Free from discontentment and strife..
I still feel the soothing sight of your smile,
Feeling lost in paradise for a while..
I wonder, how you made me [...]
Darkest night falls, humanity’s getting lost
I saw the shadows of the day fading …
and the need for illumination rising,
There was a fear of darkness spreading,
as the darkest night ever threatened of falling…
I had seen uncountable sinners in those shadows…
sins so grave, deserved to be sent to the gallows,
their conscience is still missing,guilt never follows,
what good was it then sealing them [...]
Order and Beauty

One moment led to a Buddha, a Gandhi, an OshO.
Rendering them such power, a nation they could steeR.
Depriving themselves form petty desires,their souls they freeD
Enduring all odds, reached the highest pinnacles with easE.
Reticence not being a virtue, words were their speaR
Austerity being the media,they penetrated [...]
… could not give it a title…
Initially I cud not come up with a title but then a friend suggested a title i liked.. so shruti bansal thanks for naming it for me..
Love lasts…Come what may..
A cool breeze was blowing,the night was milky white
clouds were on a break, stars were shining bright.
the curtains fluttered often,breaking the silence of the night,
they lay [...]
his bride
a day dawned and went by,
giving way to a lonely night
the stars were up , a crystal clear sky,
with a full moon looking milky white
dew on the grass filled two eyes
depleted with hope, towards the skythe drops did fall as the ground bore sweat,with the burden of his grief, the fate he had metthe wind [...]
This is me…Why did you not love me..?
I had watched you smile,and cuddle with me,
you had held me close, purged the sorrow in me.
I had seen you cry,taken your tears away with me,
you had made me a child,disinterred the innocence in me.
Bad times had come and you saw other sides of me,
You liked some,and prayed for some to leave me
There you [...]
Zinda kaise rahoon….
ek ghutan si reh gayi bas saansoon mein..
ek anjaani si kami mehsoos ho rahi hai armaanoon mein…
jeene ke liye tamanaaooon ki zaroorat hai magar …
jeene ki tamanaa hi nahi rehguzar dil ki panahoon mein..
kai khwahishein puri hui hain meri..
ek iltija abhi tak namanzoor reh gayi..
hasne ke liye chand haseen lamhe hote hain kafi magar
hasne [...]
Mai…..
main aankhoon ke sahil pe basta hoon..
udaas paani se rubaru hai meri…
mai uske mol ko samajhta hoon..
aisi uske saath yaari hai meri..
tere daaman ko kinare se dur
basane ki chah hai mujhme…
kyunki paani mein jalne ke dard ko
main behttar samajhta hoon.
aana mat mere aashiyaane ke paaas..
tujhe nahin maalum
mai kaise kaise sailaab dabaa rakha hoon;
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
mai chal raha [...]
Trapped !!
I live in a world
governed by reasoning & emotions,
I know not how they synergise,
I can see only corrosion.
For every decision to be made,
in my mind there is commotion,
Whether to trust reason or follow my heart ?
I have neither answers nor notions .
Both seem to be important,
Am often left desolate in ambivalence.
Just when the weight [...]
sher-o-shayiri
tere hoonthoon ki nami ko apne saath leke,unpe sharbati ehsaas chod jaoonga..
tere badan ki narmi mein simat kar apne saansoon ki garmahat chod jaoonga
teri aankhoon ki gehraiyoon mein sama kar apni ulfat ki tasveer chod jaoonga
teri ek muskurahat ko leke ..tere jahaan ko jannat bana jaaonga
main tujhse kya kahoon..
main tere se dil ka haal bayaan karooon to kaise karoon..
khoya hua hai wo gardishoon mein uska deedar karvaoon to kaise karvaoon..
mere armaan ki tadap ka ehsaas dilaoon to kaise dilaaon..
tujhse har baat samajhne ki umeed rakhta hoon to kaise samjhaoon..
main khud hi bikhar raha hoon tujhse gila bhi karoon to kya karoon..
neend bhi zalim [...]
Laya hoon..ek nagma…tere liye
laya hoon ankahi…ajnabi si pyaar ki ek pankhadi….
khwaboon mein rehguzar hogi jo,aisi hi..ek pankhadi
pheroonga usko main tere tan pe,O pari
halki si chuan se ,badan ki tilmilan se aayegi ek hasi
gulab ki panhadiyon jaise tere laboon pe
laya hoon aise pal…simta ke teri aahoon mein
jo khule to failey charoon aur mastiyaan..
sunahre kalpanaon ko bhi wo sharmajayegi
tere [...]
Khwahish
Khuda main unke armanoon ko apne dil ke aashiyaane mein sajaa leta..
unke har ek khwaab ko haqueeqaat bhi bana deta..
unke har lamhe ko haseen nazaaroon se rang deta..
ulfat ki shama ko sada roshan karne waali ek daastaan racha deta..
agar khuda tu…sirf ek baar meri dhadkanoon ko naseeb ki bandish se rihaee baksh deta
after a long time..a brand new composition…
I write today a story of two songs..
one ringing life in , other death’s gongs
the former, has many forms and is alive
it has happiness, surprise, routine and strife.
it flows in our moments memories and veins..
it gives us a kaleidoscope of pains and gains.
it engenders avarice and redeems our desires..
it has many vendors and a lot [...]
