मैं नहीं मानता कि एक नज़र में भी प्यार होता है,
इश्क तो साहब धीमी आंच पर ही पकता है।

-

Tadapta raha aur mar gaya,
Ek khwab hi toh tha woh bhi ujad gaya.

Yun toh bahoton ka hafiz hai tu,
Fir kyu mera hi kaatil ban gaya.

-

Everyone breaths but rarely lives.

-

Hai jo,
woh tha ho jayega,
Waqt ho kaisa bhi kat hi jayega.

-

हर रोज़ एक नई इल्तज़ा पनपती है मेरी,
पता नहीं इस बंजर जमीन को कौन सिच रहा है।

-

I can still see you,
I can see you from corner of my eyes,
Wandering,
Peeping,
Waiting for the moment,
Just the right moment,
To come out,
And shake me to my core,
When I am vulnerable.
I can see you,
I can still see the memories of you,
Wandering,
Peeping.

That moment when I lost the meaning of my name. Felt weird when someone called it.

Identity crises, midlife crises or something else.

I don't know.

I am about to drown and trying to hold to anything that I could.

This could not be the end, my soul is screaming. But this is enough, I have endured enough.

-

To,
The photon,
Which travels a million light years,
Only to create a reflection.
I am sitting here, waiting.
Only for you,
To reflect through me,
And create an impression,
In her life.

-

Lived in the perpetual hunger,
At last he died full.
Desires dissolved in mist of self doubt,
At last saturated and precipated.
He for a few moments only,
Lived a life.
In the last breaths,
He saw his true reflection,
A man, satisfied.

-

All the beautiful lines are faded long ago.
Now I survive on the ugly sentences,
wrong grammar and sometimes misspelled fancy words.
I often find myself in between comma and semi colon.
I rarely wander in a piece of poetry,
As I seek solace in weak prose.
I have built a castle with these leftover broken words.
And I now live in it.
I go to war time and again,
Whenever someone tries to enter.
