मर जाओ उस दहलीज़ पर
जिस पर बैठने‌ वाले
पचहत्तर सालों से
खून‌ के धब्बे
तमगे की तरह पहनते आ रहे हैं
अधकचरे तर्कों का पुलिंदा
या सरकारी दफ़्तर का बंदा,
याचना का गला पकड़ लेता है
याचक की विवशता जकड़ लेता है
जहाँ धूल उड़ती ही हो इस मकसद,
कि ढँक जाये बड़े-बड़ों की बरकत
न इरादों की हरकत,
न हरकतों का जमघट
न्याय तो कोई तौलता नहीं,
भीतर भी कुछ खौलता नहीं
यह रोग है,
भयंकर
जब सब की नसों में
खून की कमी हो जाती है।

Her criticizers
melted her with their rants,
But their raves alloyed her spirit
to become a Titanium

I don't know when but I stopped caring
About the mess I left behind
Juggling my consciousness and memories
Somewhere down the line I stopped living in the moment
Amidst all the chaos I kept straining my ears
Just so I could revel in the all so familiar cacophony
Of silences and silent stares
Somehow with the anxiety I kept inside I forgot to smile
The urge to make my imagination come true,
It took on me so bad but when did it happen?
I don't know when
I don't know how
But I stopped caring
About me.

Raftaar se dosti kya kar li,
Kambahqt
Sukoon se miley ek arsa hua.

When the sun peeps
into my naked soul,
he flares up in agony.

I can only imagine
what my naked soul
could do to you,
a mere human.

If you are good, people will see some bad intentions behind that.
In case your efforts don't go as expected, you will be called bad & mean.
If you are supportive, people will see some hidden selfish reasons behind that as well.
The point is no matter how good you are, people are always going to see you as someone who is doing all this for some benefit.
It's tough to expect from them to understand and support you.
But it's okay ! Yes, let it be okay.
Let people think what they wish to & don't get bothered much as long as you have clear idea about what you are doing.
The point is being true to yourself and that should matter the most always.

Closed hearts often open,
to the knocks of love.
Few others,
close forever when knocked down by love.

Pessimists : What if ?
Optimists : So what?

Now that you are leaving,
Do me a favour,

Give me back to me.

Karma

A Vagabond,
who cuddles you in private,
And nails hard in public.
