ई सुनत सुनत
छोटका गांव भी डेराइल बाटे!

-

you slept early
the night before the exam,
only to wake up early and then study:

-

ranting about people poetically.

-

Well, to climb a mountain
Some have access to stairs
Some carve their way.

-

हर रोज़ का ख़्वाब नहीं हो सकते तुम,
किसी रोज साथ ख़्वाब भी देखने हैं।

-

I'm not afraid to lose you
I'm afraid of the person I'll become, in your absence.

-

Dear Manju,
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry you lost.
I'm sorry you had to lose.
I'm sorry you weren't known as Qais,
But just Majnu, that too in a derogatory term.

You transcended this world
That doesn't value pureness and love.

-

Dear Doctor,
I never knew I'll be someone's
Subject of wondering and concern.

As I have been on the road
Since mom wanted us to be
Earlier, I had company,
Now I don't.
She passed away
And I'm unable to talk about it
You see I've followed her words
And instructions like a blind man
And what do I get in return?
A list of reasons why she died
And her ashes.

Yours Michael K

-

telling you I love you
without saying it.

I'll make your favourite recipe
Even when I'm not in the mood to
Just because I've promised myself
To be the witness of your joys amd smiles

I'll try to learn games,
That you ace at.
I'll be all that
You want me to be.
