There's a void in me.
I realise it everytime,
I think about it.
When you're not there,
and when you're gone,
it causes vacuum.

-

I would have kept it as it is,
but is it what you want?
Earlier it was necessary,
and now?

Sometimes, the journey can't be continued
from the point it came to a halt.
When the tyres of a truck are changed,
it's more of a new journey,
rather than the old one.
The truck starts from the same point,
but the new tyres aren't aware
of the path been covered
by the tyres that have been
replaced.
It's altogether, a path- unknown.

दिलकश वादियों में
यूँ ही गुलों को दफ़्न होने देते हैं,
चलो, कुछ ज़िंदा ख़्वाहिशों को
क़फ़न होने देते हैं

-

खामोश सी हो जाती हैं ये तनहा रातें,
यादों की गलियारों में बातें जो सुना करती हैं तुम्हारी...

-

They hoped it
to be gone with the wind,
but the fossilized remnants
had been preserved.

-

और जब थक जायेंगे लब हमारे
मोहब्बत बयाँ करते,
ख़ामोशी हमारी धड़कनों को
आहिस्ते सुना दिया करेगी।

She kept waiting in that unlit
corridor. She didn't have another choice.
She kept waiting...
Waiting for the night to pass..
Waiting for the goons to go away..
Unsure of the outcome..
Kept waiting..
Waiting to be found..
Waiting to be.. dead..

एक शाम बैठे शामियाने में
शान से शमा जलाकर
शांति कहाँ मुनासिब थी,
शरर ने शामत ला दी।

-

I wanted to know what you
thought of me.




that you didn't even think
about me.
