तन्हाईयों से अपनी में यूं बात करता रहा,
गुज़रे हर एक पल का खुद से हिसाब करता रहा ||

i have seen, people walking alone.
i have seen, people standing confused to step forward.
i have seen, people talking insane about others.
i have seen, people breaking trust.
i have seen, eyes blacking out.
i have seen, the hardships one can suffer.
i have seen, ones heart talking.
i have seen, times when people are seperated.
i have seen, the partial world.
i have seen, the world aggrieving.
i have seen, the worst.
i have seen, people loosing.
i have seen, the crowded places where u are alone.
i have seen, the burning souls.
i have seen, people's obsession.
i have seen, the ugliest charcters.
i have seen, the dark sides.
i have seen, the ruthless unsparing creatures.
i have seen, false hopes.
i have seen, the blind world.
i have seen, people suffering in pain.
i have seen, the merciless killers.
i have seen, the wheel spinning backwards.
i have seen, the need to change.
i have seen, tomorrow.
i have seen, the end.
I HAVE SEEN.

बेसब्र हूं;आवारगी तो करूंगा ही,
वरना प्यार करने वाले अकसर कैद हो के रह जाते हैं ||

each night
i collapse
under the silhouettes of the dark clouds,
with my aching heart
wet eyes
and shivering body.
as if the cold
has hit me on my skin
making cracks
and has entered my bones across the flesh.
but, it's the not the cold
that makes me tremble in the midnight.
it is the memoirs
we created
during this time
of the twenty fourth hour
which was once called as love
and has now ended up
being known as melancholy.

मेरी दिल्लगी ही मेरी मात बन गइ,
जब कह गए वो की तुम भी औरों की तरह हो ||

-

चल रहे हैं ज़माने में जज़बातों के कारोबार,
तुम भी कुछ ले दे के मेरी बोली कर लो ||

-

मेरी तिश्नगी क्यों छोटी थी,
उनका गुरूर क्यों बडा ||
वो थे बे-सबब अपनी दुनिया में मशरूफ़,
मैं इलतिज़ा में मरा ||

Doctor knew the cure
for my gaping wrist.
Funny,
my distorted psyche
was too busy
fighting the wounds
of my aching heart..
so much,
that all I could feel
was only my heart
being numb.

ज़िन्दगी में ये ज़रूर समझ आ गया कि इज्जत और तकदीर हमारे हाथ में होती हे,
कुछ लोग शिकायत करते हैं कि तुमनें इज्जत नही की,
अब उन्हे कौन समझाए कि जिस के लिये उन्होने हमें गुनहगार कहा है,
वो गुनाह तो हमारे बस में ही न था ||
