My soul has been through lifetimes,
evolving through scars,
venting through happiness
only to born again,
quest through the lanes
where my other peaceful half awaits
with the other world.

Flow unplanned.
Life will fill the spaces with miracles.

Tere maathe par koi shikan na rahe
Tere hathon ki woh lakeer banu
Bas itna sa hai ishq mera

अनगिनत रातों में नींद खफ़ा रहती थी पहले कभी,

अब बेवजह दिनों में ख़्वाब पूरे होने लगे हैं।

You have no time to remain emotionally paralysed. Liberate your breath. Move !

Yun hi nahi usne jahaan ko shayaron se nawaza tha kabhi

Akhir kisiko to khamoshi se lafzon tak mohabbat karni thi

-

परतें पड़ गई हैं कई,

फ़िर एक ज़ोर पर दर्द आज भी है।

The City

The city was mad
So was I
The city became dark
So did I
The soundless havoc prevailed all around
The dry leaves, the hounds

The city made me fall in love
But dreariness was crushing my soul into ashes
My soul rushed for comfort
I ran, I stumbled, I fell on the road
The dust and insomnia seemed neverending
I watered the plant amidst the battlefield
The sixty days' manifestation bolstered my shield

I moved back to the city
The City, THE CITY
The city was alluring as ever
New leaves were born
The wind fostered the night
The sunbeams nurtured the day
The evenings were filled with stories
Stories with "Chai, Maggie, Sandwiches"
The city was finally liberated

You never remain the same person. You grow and outgrow. Make sure it's a positive one.

ना वो वक्त रहा, ना वो लोग रहे,
वो सब हैं, वो मैं हूं।
