Don't close the Window

In fear of some mosquitoes, let them in
Allow them to be the Mulciber(s) of your ideas,
Let them be your companions in the desolate hours
Flapping wings of whom drive you for a furnished window.

Let the breeze of the calm night in, through it
Inhale the freshness, to wipe the day's anxieties out,
Sit straight,look forward and keep your eyes to the paper
The paper brings you paper to celebrate your stake later.

Peep through the steel bars, observe the lamp
And vow to create a spark from the collision of resolutions,
Fill the windows of your mansion with that spark
Which will guide the another to take a vow again.

Observe the passing of the moon through the corner
That glows with the spots after passing the shadowy tracts,
Thrive through the tracts and you will shine one night
But, be sure of one thing, " Don't close the Window " .— % &

इस तुषार की बारिश में
मैदानों के बीच
सर पे ओस का ताज लिए
खड़ा एक तिनका हो तुम ।

चमकेगी ये ताज और
लौट जायेगी ये थरथराहट
जब निकलेगा ये सूरज
ये खयाल बस मन से न जाने देना तुम ।

-

खुद ही पेड़ की डाली काट के
यूं छाँव की बसेरा ढूंडा नहीं करते,
और अपनी हथेली से लकीर मिटा के
बेवजह यूं किस्मत के सामने रोया नहीं करते ।

The Hell of a Storm

The shady clouds were wandering
And roaming aimlessly along the wind,
Coming of chaos was there, he predicted
But could not expect that much in his mind.

It was an evening of cold and calmness
And he was shivering with the touch of breeze,
But all of a sudden The Hell of a Storm appeared
And he could do nothing but thudded with knees.

No sooner he blinked he found a heap of hails
Scattered around him and was stunned,
Could see golden-coloured paddy in white covering
And could understand what Indra had just done.

The bewailing was hefty and heart-wrenching
And all the sweat he invested, went in vain,
Couldn't think of anything by seeing the beheaded crops
Except Sobbing, murmuring and beseeching in the field with pain.

Wet was his heart with the shedding tears
And so was his fields with the curse like hail.

An ashen Rose

-

किरणों से भरी कक्ष में वो तम की तलाश में रहेगा
नापसंद करने वाला इंसान है वो, शहद में भी कड़वाहट पाएगा ।

-

इस बारिश की सुबह में तुझे क्या लिखूं ?
बूंदों के बीच खिलते हुए फूल लिखूं,
हवा के साथ झूमती हुई पत्ते लिखूं,
बादलों के बीच चमकती हुई कड़कत लिखूं,
तू बता, तुझे मैं और क्या क्या लिखूं ?

-

अफसोस किए थे वो हमे चुन कर
फिर हमने उनपे अफ़साना लिख दिया।

-

मैं उस काली रात की दाग से भरा चांद हूं
तुम उसका बगल में सुभ्र सी सितारा बन जाओ ना,
ज़िन्दगी की सफर में इतने दूर तो आ गए हैं
अब बाकी राह कदम से कदम मिलाकर चलते हैं ना।

-

बेगाना मंजिल की राह में
तेरा ये सफर कैसा है,
अभी तो हासिल हुई नहीं है वो
फिर उसे खोने ये डर कैसा है ?
