The spirit of Libertine
Looks at me with her elegant cut eyes
A hellfire burns in my heart
An importunate seeker
She lays a siege to my infallible resistance
A constant vigil

-

तो ईन रास्तों को आराम दे दूँ मैं
इस सफर का काफिला बसा दूँ
और भटकते ख्वाबों को सुकून की पनाह दे दूँ मैं

She sings me melodies in her liquid voice. Lilting and fluid, even the boring things sound sweet. It is ungraspable until you swim and drown in it. I remember not what she said but how she said it as if her voice has strings of a violin.

A crumpled rose
Inside a dust eating diary
Is it a memory of love
Or memory of a murder

-

सोचा न था इन फ़िज़ाओं में है मेरी बसर
ज़िन्दगी में तुम यूँ आये बेखबर
ना जाने कब बन गए मेरे रहबर
दिलचस्प है दिल का सफर
हमसफ़र ऐ हमसफ़र

-

Let me sacrifice time for you
In the morning I want to whisper to you some things that were left unsaid last night
The thought of being apart in the day torments me
The night lasted lasted shorter than it normally does

-

Lover Ungrateful
I will dive to the forbidden obscure depths of your psyche
I will trample on the tyranny of elegance
I will take apart the life's ennui
I will usurp the societal conformity
I will tear down the mask of masquerading niceness

And fill you with
Disdain for convention
Anti naturalness
Capricious taboos
Emblazon them like a thunderbolt strike
And I shall turn you into a decadent dessert my darling
Too indulgent for my own good
But I shall have you regardless

-

If I was given the carte blanche
I'd write us a tango ballad
And dance away till there is no air left to breathe
And collapse into each other

-

Disposable Darling

Daughter of desire
Filler of void
Stirred up a renaissance decoyed
In my life's empire

Explored dark sides together
Transgressed to the deep rooted pleasure

But darling don't think you have my heart
You might be a charmer
But you're not my closure
O disposable darling, it's time you depart

-

Into which I extend my hand
To get hold of your gleam
But the more I try to reach out
The farther you seem
I am falling into this abyss
And I can't scream
It's like I am living a requiem
In my dream
