Do you?

Do you repent?
words
said, unsaid
defined, meaningless
unspoken, yet felt
spoken, but not felt

Do you cherish?
feelings
said, unsaid
long term, momentary
shared, euphoric
hidden, scared
Do you believe?
thoughts
said, unsaid
long term, random
discussed, celebrated
confused, chaotic
Do you?
be you?
or, a designed version
of you?

आज फिरसे

आखें बंद करी
चेहरा मुरझाया है
आज क्या फिरसे
छाया गम का साया है

सब कहतें हैं नहीं है मेरे पास
कोई वजह गुमसुम रहने की
मेरा है जो हाल कभी
कौन समझ पाया है

हवा जो चलती है
लहराते हैं पत्ते कई
इस हवा के रुख के साथ
क्या बदला अपना परया है

मामूली लगते हैं मुझे
यह दुनिया के कीमती गुम्बद
इस शीशे सामान पिंजर मैं को
न जाने कितनो ने रुलाया है

न चाहिए मुझे कोई हाथ
जो रोक सके इस बिखरी हुई सोच को
मेरे इस बहते हुए व्यक्तित्व को
मेरे ही बनाये तिनके का सहारा है

खुशियां हैं मुझसे
और मैंने ही संभाले हैं अपने गम
इस रेत के सामान किनारे मन में
कौन सी लहर का व्यक्तित्व समा पाया है.

Closures

I need a shovel. 
To dig a grave. 
To burry these memories. 
I have to be brave. 
Brave to fight myself & you
Memories so lovely, yet so few

Those smiles so rare
That I could cry
Those tickles so crazy
Difficult to find even if I retry
Brave to fight myself & you
From red to blue

That walk along road less traveled
Unraveled treasure
That drive to d near by store
Unspoken pleasure
Brave to fight myself & u
How we grew

Those fights so cruel
I miss them now
Those silent duals
Fluttering in me somehow
Brave to fight myself & u
That's how the wind often blew

Stood by there for other to know
Presence was pleasure
Good & bad both times unseen
Nobody 2 measure
Brave to fight myself & u
Drops of dew

You kiss n tell what to keep
For m at crossroads
You point me out in wat 2 weep
For m carrying loads
Brave to fight myself & u
Start a anew

You kiss n tell what to keep
For m at crossroads
You point me out in wat 2 weep
For m carrying loads
Brave to fight myself & u
Start a anew

Myself & u
To fight myself & u
The world I give no care
I need a shovel to dig this grave
Don't ask me if it's anymore fair!

शब्द - निशब्द

यह कविता मेरी
नहीं कोई ज़रिया मुझे जान्ने का
यह तोह बस एक दूर का मृगजल है
पास आओगे, तोह छुह हो जायेगा!
-------------

अदृश्य दीवारें जो दिखाई देती हैं
कल्पना कि उपज हैं तुम्हारी
मेरे इस टेढ़े मेढ़े दर्पण में न देखो
खुद को अनजान समझने लगोगे

--------------

लहरें आती हैं, लहरें जाती हैं
किनारा वहीँ का वहीँ रेह जाता है
लहरें तोह शायद किनारे का फिर भी सोच लें
किनारे को कभी किसी एक लहर पे रोते देखा है?
---------------

चाहे कहो उसे धुप या सूरज निराला
है वोह बारिश के तीर, पानी कि बहती ज्वाला
कभी रेगित्सान कि मिटटी और कभी बंजर यह ज़मीन
कभी मीठी सी खुश्बू, कभी बेरंग नमकीन

उड़ती चिड़िया, जुडी हुई जड़ें
अनसुना संगीत, शान्ति कहीं है खड़े
आग या हवा, अनजान एक कहानी
कैसे शुरू करोगे सुनानी?
---------

जो लम्हे अभी जीए नहीं
उनको सोच के क्यूँ ए दिल तू है परेशान
जिनमें सांस ले रहा है ए राही
उसमें क्यूँ नहीं छोड़ देता अपने कुछ निशान

Stars above me, fire within me


I have this silent rage that makes me restless inside
On face I am calm, confident and carry a smile
I try to hide, I laugh it and keep it aside
It crawls back to me, tells me to sort otherwise it will pile.

The life in my city is super swift, super fast
The sound, the lights and the thousands of people around,
They make me feel lifeless, hollow and empty, alone in a land so vast
The happiness is lost somewhere or still hiding, waiting to be found.

As I leave the crowd, the silence in countryside calls me aloud
Tells me that these are my roots, the roots of my soul
Brings back my smile, my heart beat make a normal sound
Make me wonder relevance of my life in this world, question my role

On one side is this city with building oh so tall!
On the other side lies a sky with stars shining so bright
The artificial world around makes me feel so small
If I could run away from the city, I just always might!

But I know I miss the city after a certain point
Because that’s my life, where I belong
Live in the moment, the words echo from every joint
And with a smile and a solution I sing my lullaby song

Today I sleep, with a smile as thousands of stars blanket me
No lights around but still I shine so bright
They make me feel blessed, they make me feel free
With a wish that they stay with me forever, I hug them tight!
