Let your naked soul meet...
Before meeting your naked body...

(Chalo baat agar nangapan ki ho he rahe hai toh ek Baat aur kahti hu)

Aabru Ko aap dusra chola v pahnah sakte ho...
Par hmesa, Samman he bus Aatam-Samman ka chola hota hai...
"Bhale he pahla beparda kabhi aapke Aabru ka hwa ho, par' dusra beparda kabhi Apne Samman ka Na' hone Dena"

मेरे उधड़ रहे बदन को
तुम्हारी नुकीली आंखें
सी देती हैं
इस सिलाई में
बहुत कुछ वह भी
टांक दिया जाता है
जिसे अभी और
धूप सेंकनी थी
हवा महसूस करनी थी
और हां तुम्हारे सांसों
की गर्माहट को दिल तक
उतारना था...
खैर अब सिल ही चुकी हूं
तो किसी दिन फिर
उधड़ भी जाऊंगी....

This one is not about love.
This one is not about loss.
This one is not about you and me.
This one is not about us.

This one is about those men and women
who have been made to feel bad
about their bodies ...

Burning of tyres was his hobby .

I wish he knew the difference between
Burning of tyres and Burning of body .

Reduced to Ashes, Born from Earth.
Our Body is nothing, But mere 'Dust'.

The cold wires of my body
can feel you both inside
and outside of my body,
she wispered on the verge
of stairs to heaven.
He was hardly in position
to get her, may be he
already knew that.

You should not have to
bury yourself
to raise another.

I don't want to linger with your naked body,
I want to wander with your naked soul.

you calling me bold
has never been a compliment
when you say i'm bold
you're saying that i'm the only sheep
that left the herd
to taste the grass on the other mountain
the only sheep that thought of an existence
that was more than just shedding wool
the only sheep that asked if
shepherds were needed at all

when you say i'm bold
you underline the normal that lies
beneath an italicized spine
normal for you is hiding your pads
behind a plastic burqa
normal for you is the curfew that won't tell you
what deserted streets whisper at 2AM
normal for you is
"too much growth yaa, i'll wear jeans instead"

so when you say i'm bold
my normal clashes with yours
(and then) some of you decide to crush me
(while) the rest of you raise me to the heavens
when all i ever wanted was
to exist
