वो बादल भी बेचारा क्या करें...
जब भी होता है दीदार तुम्हारा!!
वो छुपा बादल भी जरा देखो...
तुम्हारे सजदे में झुक ही जाता है!!
प्यार जब भी बेहिसाब उमड़ आये..
तुम्हारा हुस्न देख कर बादल भी..
छुने के बहाने शबनम सा बन कर..
तुम्हारे बदन पर बिखर जाता है!!-
I refuse to be a firefly
in a glass jar.
I refuse your definition of beauty,
I'm with the wild flowers.-
Like a wildflower
He grew on my skin
Me, a wild jungle
Cradles him therein..
Kiss me hard before you wilt
Let's walk down the lane of guilt
Your love makes me grow
My warmth makes you glow.
I won't let you wilt my dear
Your beauty would
Outshine the roses for sure.

How she wishes she was like
a wildflower growing fiercely
in the most unlikely of places
firmly rooting herself
along with others
a little wild and free
tangled and mangled
but strong and
untameable-
I am barren land.
I have witnessed petrichor,
I have witnessed downpour too!
I have fostered the enticing flower,
I have fostered the wildflower too!-
She is the light in the dark
holding her own hand
One step forward, with an endless
set of discoveries inside her
she picked the dark colors of
grief, emptiness, sorrow, loss
dissolved them in indefinite hope
and painted a wildflower on the walls
of her heart soaring in love and healing
Her art is as breathtaking as her self
Her heart is as breathtaking as
a blooming flower-
growing freely in the world
roots shallow yet
fierce and untamed
holding against
most hot, most cold
and sudden storms
instilling in you a hope,
a hope to withstand
for they will try to
tear you down from
where you stand but
stand as tall as your dreams.-
