And you were the
eraser that I
always lost.

A black bug

If I woke up someday
next to you;
not as the beautiful wife
you always imagined
but a black bug that
generally everyone stamps
with foot,
would you still love me?
would my
'I love you' still make sense?
or would you ever
love the black bug
and still compliment those eyes?
Or you'll be scared like
everyone
while I die gradually,
waiting for you
and will you ever come
to even check
if I'm alive?
Or let me rot like
a helpless moth,
slowly burning in fire.

Me and my poem
play hide and seek,
It hides my pain
and I seek
for words
to describe it,
until the
reader comes
shouting
"Stop hiding!"

When did love start having
hues of red and green?
The time I realised it
is love,
when I saw the sun in
your brown eyes.
For me sunshine hasn't been so beautiful before.

Only if you could hear
the times I begged god
to see a glimpse of you
and the times you
appeared like God
to those needy eyes.

But when you're infront
I become a child
that has not learnt to
speak yet.

And I wonder what
you think of me;
when I think of you,
is it the same sudden blush
out of nowhere?
or am I the topic to you
that you skipped to learn?

My friend says it is better
to confess then being
delusional about you,
but why should we wake up
if the night is beautifully dressed?

-

Maybe a poem isn't enough for the
Unspoken feelings burning in
My eyes
But you know its ashes fly
And reach your breath;
I think that's the only way to reach you now.

Now you give him space.

On weekends go to the chapriest place near you. And start making reels, "Hindi or Spanish"...

तू येतो असे माझे मनात,
جیسے تھم جاتی ہے یہ کائنات.
(Jaise tham jati hai ye qaayanat)

But how do I know if it is love or a lie?
कारण तू डोळ्याने कधीच बोलला नाय.

यद्यपि आपके नेत्र इस प्रकार पढ़े है मैंने
جیسے کسی بچے نے پہلی دفعہ سیکھا ہے الفاظ پڑھنے.
(Jaise kisi bacche ne pehli dafa sikha hai alfaz padhne)

My eyes seek for you everywhere; my beauty,
जसे चिमणी शोधते पेंढे घर बनवण्यासाठी.

محبت تو کرتے ہیں پر یہ بات تم سے ظاہر کریں کیسے؟
(Mohabbat toh karte hai par ye baat tumse Zahir karein kaise?)
because when you're near, I often forget to say;

कि मैं अगर नदी, तुम चंद्रमा की बिंदी मुझपे प्रिय,
बीत जाए ये रात, बहती रहू तेरे साथ,
हाथों में तेरा जो हाथ प्रिय।

Mai wahi khada ho kar tujhe dekhta raha,
meri aankhein tujhe rok kar sukh gayi,
mere shabd cheekh kar khamosh hogye
aur tu,
Tu mud kar aya bhi tab,
jab maine tujhko aisa paya
ki mai khudko bhi yaad na rakh paya.

बड़े दिन बाद उस गली से जाना हुआ
जिन लम्हों को बिताए हमें जमाना हुआ।

वो चूड़ियों की दुकान वही थी,
वो चूड़ियाँ भी वही थी,
लेकिन पहनने वाले तुम्हारे हाथ
मैं भला किस नसीब से लाता?

तुमसे बात जब से बंद हुई है
मैं खुद का हाल पूछना भूल गया हूं,
क्या पता तुम्हें भी याद आती होगी मेरी,
या इश्क में सिर्फ मैं ही पागल बन गया हूं।

मुझे पता नहीं अब तुम कैसी होगी,
पर जेसी भी हो तुम मेरी नहीं होगी।

और मैं भी तुम्हारा इंतजार कहा करता हूँ अब,
बस पायल की झंकार सुन
आज भी मेरा दिल थम जाता है,
याद तो नहीं करता ये तुम्हें लेकिन
भूलना भी भूल जाता है।
