Seer

Desire to dream again,
Challenges nightmare!
'I am your dream real',
Truth with chest bare!
Shut eyes are witness,
To playback you glare.
Shocked at the encore,
You guess end is near.
The mind cries deja vu,
You tremble with fear.
'Seer!', grins the reaper,
His threat floats in the air,
Do envision the future,
Then wake up if you dare!

Believer
What will you do if you don't believe,
If belief is absent then so is reprieve,
Hope is a reprieve to the senses,
Frustrated from mending fences,
Walls created to keep out the world,
Broken anytime a word kind is hurled,
Poignant feelings do not suffice,
Let warm intrusions break the ice,
Water will flow as the barriers are down,
Moisten the eyes and release the frown,
Sorrows drown in desires intimate,
Embrace your vibe to feel fortunate,
Know you have earned your right to rise,
If at least once you let your fire blaze the skies!

दूरी

एक ही कश्ती के हम दो कब से है सवार,
एक तरफ तुम हो बेसबर,
एक तरफ हम है बेकरार,
कोशिशें की जो थी हमने,
लगातार वो, कई कई बार,
तब जो थी दिल की सनक,
अब भी दिमाग में बरकरार,
एक दूजे की बाहों में लिपटे,
दोनो बस प्यार करे बेशुमार,
शायद नामंजूर था वक्त को,
आपस की ये दूरी शायद मिटे अब की बार।

Scars from accidents, bullying, shaming
Remain invisible to all others
Psychological barriers I face in mirrors
Facing fears in all my prayers
Ragged, torn apart by nightmares in sleep
Slayed lies in mud the slayer
Self-effacing myself I try to seek my own self
I engage once again in a battle dear
Proof I seek to find before out I venture
My failings never were misadventures
I will continue to exist and remain strong
When I climb out safe of this argument of an adventure
Singing from the heart my victory song

Haunt of the past

Rewinding to days gone by will never be enough,
Moments gone by have left their mark,
Indelible scars legible for the emotional few.
Memories are not allowed to permeate,
The thin membrane of the past and present,
Nostalgia is a curse felt with the generation new.
Palpable are the losses as time fleets,
Energy of the youth springs laughing hoarsely,
Passivity adds insult to injury begging to begin anew.
Ruminating over a challenged existence,
Mind pushing body towards an inevitable encore,
Haunt of the past ensures culmination in a sense of deja vu.

Tired and surely bored,
Ignited I will be again,
Pieces of memory,
Float in vain,
Timely,
Flashes rain,
Reminding idiotry,
Insults more than gain,
Warned against a reload,
Prices that I can ill afford,
Of trips out of domain,
Randomised vagary,
Troubles insane,
Lately,
Alone in pain,
Incited the savagery,
Forgot to remain sane,
Bent I rode as did the road,
As my pent up adrenaline soared..

Pluck of flowers
Pluck of flowers we do not understand,
Growth in adversity we believe circumstance,
We desire to uproot them as they stand,
Beautification or glorification as suits the brand,
Defying the fact that their life stands no chance,
Flowers are adorable adorning even empty hands,
Plucking them from their beds we feel dominant,
Magnanimous in death defines their nonchalance!

भटक रहा है मन,
नज़ारे बदल रहे है या नज़रिया?
खुश रहना है लाज़मी,
लोगों ने कहा बदला है मेरा रवैया।
संभल कर नही चलना,
आंखें मूंद कर है अब छलांग लगाना।
हवाओं ने बदले है रुख,
तेज़ रफ्तार ने उनके दिल मेरा बहलाया।
टकराना ना मेरे वजूद से,
मुमकिन है तुम्हारे घमंड का टूटना बिखरना।

-

बीत गए वो पल जब चैन से सोते थे,
अब उलझनों में गुजरती है सारा दिन,
कटती है रातें गुत्थियों पर गौर करते।
किसीने हमसे के कह दिया था उस दिन,
उन्हे इत्मीनान था बड़े सुलझे हुए है हम।

-

Solitude is a company,
Kept by few of fortitude,
Bestowing them sanity,
In the chaos of multitude.
