तुम्हारी ख़बर
बंदिश के किवाड़ों से छन के आई,
तुम ख़ुश हो,
बेहद ख़ुश हो,
मैंने तमाम ग़मों को
छुपाते हुए मुस्कुरा के कहा,
भला "सुकून" और क्या है?

-

that
your name is the
final prayer
that I whisper
before I surrender
to the silence of sleep.

-

for the meaningful silence
that we shared,
night after night,
saying everything,
yet saying
nothing.

-

smiles - matching the giggling lights,
verses dancing in the air,
comforting warm fragrances,
eyes echoing unspoken dreams
and
a touch sparkling with whispered promises
us,
heaven,
no more.

-

share my story,
I want to listen
to yours.

-

to witness
as my existence lies utterly shattered,
pulverized to the last grain,
yet all my shards speak only
of the pain that colors
my being
and the gentle fragrance
of your love
emanating from it,
wish you were here.

-

All the scars,
the faults,
the flaws,
the struggles,
the wins,
the falls,
the flights,
the passion,
the rawness,
the loud stares,
the silent outbursts,
the fierce retorts,
the quiet remorse,
they all
define who I am,
Anything more,
anything less,
anything else,
it wouldn't be me.

-

and I shall wait
for you tonight
just as the sky
restlessly wait
for the moon
to rise
in its
arms.

-

I still seek,
endlessly,
the path
to your
elusive
heart.

-

Don't you see
every verse
speaks of you

-
