ये वफ़ा की सख़्त राहें ये तुम्हारे पा-ए-नाज़ुक
मेरे हौसलों पे काफ़ी है क़दम तुम्हारा बढ़ना ।।

तेरे इंतजा़र के बहाने से,
अक्सर,
मैंने ख़ुद से मिलने का
इंतजा़र किया॥

The dangler that hangs
from your ears,
that you change everyday,
that you keep in the closet
after you are done with them.
I hang my feeling similarly,
once I come back after
seeing you in those
crowded ally everyday,
where you stand alone
with your friends,
just like me
who stands with a wish
to tell you
How much I love you
and that, I want you to
grow on me, just as
Life grows on people
and leave those wrinkles behind
and leaves people only to be
seen, cared, caressed, pampered
by the one with whom you share your wrinkles.
That feeling...I hang everyday
after I come back...after meeting you...on the nail on the wall...
Now there, i hang this piece that reminds me of the broken dream
that has gone weary, wilted memory of love
I once had.

//Now is not the time:

The sun will set
one day, forever
beyond the horizons
leaving the sky clad
weary of blues,
wilting the leaves
and woods, the rivers
and the flowers in dew,
the boats will sail nevermore,
nor shall the eyes long for picturesque earth anymore.
That day will come one day.
The niches will be surmounted
by longest darkness
and it will be heavy on the eyelashes.
That shall be the twilight of
our lives, our niches, our hopes
and dreams, our anstoss and 'object petit'.
Until then...
Let us share a memory, a smile, heart and soul.
Until then...
Live to love
Because...
Now is not the time!

फिर से एक बार
दिल बच्चा हो चला है...
चाहिए या तो सब कुछ उसे

क्या याद है तुम्हें वो शाम
जब कूर्सी पर बैठे-बैठे तुमने
एक स्केच बनाया था




आकर देखो
उस चिड़ये पर पंख निकल आया है॥

After all these years
she thought
what could be
more beautiful & serene
than "I Love You"
To that he said,
"You make me exist"
