इन आँखों में जो ये सागर लिये घूम रहे हो तुम
कहीं ये सैलाब ना बन जाये एक दिन,

इनसे छलकी एक बूंद
आंसू नहीं आग कहलाती है।

Amidst all the
metaphors and
synonyms,

You are the one
that rhymes the
most with my poems.

On some days, I just cry
for the pieces I lost from myself

-

सामने एक समुद्र है खूबसूरत सा, ठहरा हुआ
पर मुझे तो तैरने से डर लगता है।

-

Have you see a mosaic.

Made from the broken pieces of glass

It might be broken.

But it's more beautiful than
its original self.

You are a mosaic too!

-

People who
don't find their
true selves, always
try to find
themselves
in others and
end up
disappointed.

-

You run to your home when
you are afraid of the world.

But where do you run to
when you are afraid of
what you call your home.

Neither you can go
out there nor stay in.

You trap yourself in your own cage,
And cannot run to anywhere now!

-

A Moon, too bright
and spotless
can blind us,
hence the dark spots!

-

I looked into the
broken mirror everyday.

Until one day I
realised I was the
broken one staring
at myself in the mirror.

•Rain

I sat across the window.
It was drizzling lightly.
The soft pitter patter of the raindrops
on the roof felt soothing.
The smell of the wet soil was heavenly.
The black clouds enveloped the sky
shadowing the whole ground.

I stretched my hand outwards
and catched a droplet in my palm.
It looked like a tear drop, shimmering
in my hands like a crystal.
I wondered whether the clouds
were weeping silently.
Just like we all do when we just cry
alone in the corners of our room
without wanting to talk to anyone.

Thunder roared, lightning striked
& it rained more heavily than ever.
It felt all too familiar.
Just like we do sometimes, when we
are angry but also cry after we get hurt.
There's so much we want to say
because we are hurt, angry but
can't form words so tears make
their way like rain among the thunder.

Nature reflects on human behavior
And there I knew why I loved rain so much
