May be I'm the stagnant water
Lying on the depression created by them
Gradually getting filled with filth
Perhaps I was supposed to flow and not merely lie here

-

तू ओस की धुँदलि चमक
तू गुलाब की प्यारी सी महक
तू फ़ैज़ की शायरियों की रुमक्
तू सुंदर सुंदर बालियों की झुमक
तू वो जो अपने ज़ुल्फों को मेरे चेहरे
पे राँझ कर........

कुछ बातों का खौफ़ है मेरे अंदर,
ऐसा नही की मैं कमज़ोर या बुजदिल हूँ,
बस कुछ लोगों की गनघोर आस है मुझसे,
वरना बेपरवाह या लापरवाह होकर मैं भी खुदको निर्भीक कह सकता था ।।

Though my history was hazy, questionable and unclean,
You ripped up all the filth from me and honoured me as your source of dopamine

-

you are crazy
like a kitten
insecure that
you might lose my attention

You are crazy
like a kitten
irritating yet loving
so that
you don't lose my attention

-

बहुत कुछ बनने की फ़िराक में
शायद मैं कुछ भी न बन पाया

-

I wish to be doomed under only one curse
where I'm caged with you forever in poems and verse.

-

My thumb awaits to clean
the chocolate on your lips.
May be cause my lips could
do the same.

-

I'm tired but I'll be okay.
things ain't smooth right now,
but they too will get okay.
My loved ones are in pain
but sometime later they'll be okay.
Nothing's going my way but I have faith in Krishna
he'll make things okay.

-

The tantrums you bring are like cookies that
I have to accept in order to browse your love.
