You and I,
standing on opposite sides
of a barbed wire.
They tried to cut apart our petals.
You and I,
we dared to bloom.

-

My mind recalls your existence,
as if it is an unfinished verse
of a poetry stuck in the bottle
floating across the oceans.
And I wander from one coastline
to another,
just to have its one glimpse
before I drown myself in;
never to be found again.

-

तेरे ख्वाब तो हमें हर रोज आते हैं
मगर कंबख्त वो भी
हमारे रिश्ते की तरह पूरा
होने से पहले ही टूट जाते हैं.....

-

बातों में उलझने का वक्त ही कहां
अब जब दोनों के दरमियाँ ही कुछ ना रहा....

-

There
at a distance
I saw her
in the arms
of her eternal love.

It was so alluring
that I fell in love
with the distance
instead.

-

हां अलग होना भी प्यार होता है,
जब आप एक दूसरे से नफ़रत की वजह से नहीं,
बल्कि एक दूसरे की खुशी
और सलामती के लिए अलग हों,
तो वो अलग होना भी प्यार होता है।

-

you & me,
never became we,
love & trust,
never meant for us

-

हम दोनों थे जैसे रेल की दो पटरियां,
पास तो थे हमेशा पर कभी मिले नहीं।

-

The stage waits for you
And I, in all my pensive moments.
But you who never arrived
took those unsuspected
turns away from me
Making even the mirrors around me
Drunk with your absence
Reflecting only my mournful image
Everything in me is you
Yet in that togetherness
We forlonly stand separated.

-

Distance could never separate them,
but misunderstanding did.
