Day 2 of 21

21 or Less

It takes twenty-one days to form a habit
Or break one -
Like opening the door,
Making plans,
Shaking hands,
Eating out,
Hugging friends,
Walking on the street,
Breathing.

Less so, perhaps, for the dead.

Day 3 of 21

All the World's a Stage

This is my stage - this room and the next,
This balcony, this shelf full of books.
The light will be on for eighteen more days.
Act natural, I tell myself, the world is your audience.
Be the character you would like to be remembered for.

Day 1 of 21

A New Normal

Wake up. The sky is blue.
Can you spot the moon?
It's still there, isn't it,
Round and thorny, crown-like?
Who wants to wear it?
Forget it.
It's a new day,
The first
Of twenty-one.
This is a new poem.
Let's not write of old things.

चाहू तो पल भर मे कतल कर दू अपने जज़्बातो का..
पर.....
जो जीते जी ना समझ पाए उनसे अपने जनाज़े...
मे आने की दरखास्त करना मुनासिब नहीं..

-

क़ेह भी नहि सकते जाना
कितनी याद आती हो तुम

ख़यालों मे पल पल आना
हमे कितना सताती हो तुम

साँसे सिनेमे रुक सी जाती हे
सपनोमे जब दिखजाती हो तुम

आँखो से ही मुसकाती हो तुम
मेरी यादों मे बसजाती हो तुम

क़ेह भी नहि सकते जाना
कितनी याद आती हो तुम

-

I'll love you for thousand springs
With despise winter
and summer we'll live.
I'll be the brief, the medium
Of the moment
We collide in the space
Under the damned roof
Making our own bed
Of hell in life,
All together in another dimension
And I want to write
All the discrete touches,
The humming kisses,
The smothering ties of our finger skin,
The doses of dreams,
Igniting needs.

Just like the ancient anecdote

I'll be the last leaf
Of our beliefs.

-

You have left.
So has sadness.

-

log puchte hai mera kaam kya hai ?
aur mera jawab hota hai -_-
jadugar hu kagaz pe kalam se jadugari dekhati hu

-

जिसके दीदार की तुम दुआ करते हो
मैं वो खुदा हूं
जिसे पाने के लिए तुम जतन हज़ार करते हो
मैं वो सदाह हूं।

I don't understand
how to make you feel ,
how much i endure sometimes !
