•when darkness shares its room with me•

I see light leaving me
In a speed faster than my hope,
And then carrying hope in its arms
And me alone, with the belief
of not returning again.
I see them leaving, through
The pores of the walls of my house,
Through my closed window panes
Locking cages inside my mind
And freeing up the cell of my demons.

It's not always the darkness that scares,
It's the hope too. It's the hope
of turning blind in the mind,
Of turning deaf to the muffled sounds of light
If it ever passes by my home,
Of turning dumb to scream
To stop it from leaving.

Girl, let not
The naked wind
Kiss you nether
Consuming the
Heat and those
Innumerable libraries
Of scents oozing out
Between your thighs
Up as they slither.

ख़ुश्क फूलों को किताबों से झाड़ देना
किसी शायर को महफ़िल में मार देना

दिखानी हो सच्ची मोहब्बत गर तो
किसी वैश्या की बेटी को प्यार देना !

बेचैनियों को समझना हो गर तो
माँ के बेटों को थोड़ा बुखार देना !

था नींदों का दुश्मन मोहब्बत भला कब
बिस्तर से पहले खटमल झाड़ देना !

खारों के जैसा ही बनना ओ साहब
इबादत में पुष्पों को तुम वार देना !

-

In this fake world .
Bcoz this world is
Full of fake people .
There is no place for
Genuine person.

-

And play with my eyes
My wet cheeks stare
As my good beliefs die

-

You should not have to
bury yourself
to raise another.

As soon as this thought surfaced in my mind..
My soul got filled with fear.. A terrible fear..
I frantically tried to feel my body with my hands..

Then suddenly..
My mind calmed down..
As I remembered..
My soul had already left
the body some weeks ago..
It was only taking time ..
to adjust with this reality..

-

Your Voice is The Music of My Rotten Heart...!!

Bestie...

-

Am tarrying inside
my charnel house and
tying my wreath of blossoms
with words.

Dont dig my kirkyard.
It would spread the whiff
of a sepulchre !

-

Come, slice my soul,
chant your holy words,
ward off the evil,
send me back into oblivion,
before i quaff
every single drop of yours,
before i leave you parched
and crucified.
