I want to wrench out a day from the heart of time
And bleed out all love,
to find: for what it pines......
What is it that makes it so
sacrosanct and divine,
and all that i could have,
but did not fight, so afraid to
own it as mine.

If you decide to move on
in life, without me,
I will let you go.
I will not even question you,
Why so?
I will let you go,
because you had left, even
before you, let me know.

I will give you back your thoughts, your moments,
your time, your words, you know.
I will wrench all feelings,
I will bleed all emotions,
no, I will not say another word.
Cut off all threads that tangle,
to set you lose.

But,
Will it belie our Destiny.
Will it change our course in life,
Will you relive again,
What you have lived in me.
Will you be able to rewrite,
what we wrote in each other.
Will you be able to do so,
again?

Na tum hi ho
Aur na hi hum
Phir bhi, hai kuchh toh
darmiyaan......
jo toot ta hi nhi,
ek dusre se jo,
baandhe rakhta hai hume,
hamesha.

-

I walk towards the Sun
leaving behind all shadows
hoping somehow,
the magic of earth
blooms me back to life.....
touching all those remote corners never realised.

-

Under a canopy of stars
I lie weaving dreams
Half asleep and half awake,
Unconsciously conscious,
merging unreal into real,
creating life:
like a vision of delight,
upon an ocean
of sparkling stars, stolen
from the slumbering skies.

-

If you love me.........



If you love me,
your heart will know me,
even, before you know.
If you love me,
You will feel me.....
even when we do not touch.

If you love me,
my heartbeat will find you
in your heart's song.
If you love me,
even if you try, you will not
be able to leave me.
You will not be able
to live without me.

Only, if you love me.

-

Flowing: like the river.
Quiet and deep......
sighing, changing course,
destroying, forging, moulding
into new.

Finding its way to the sea,
where from, where for, not known,
charting the unknown.
Lost, to be found.
Leaving all landmarks behind.

Slithering, like a snake,
cold and unyielding,
moving, relentlessly towards the goal,
precision and strength:
the only story.

-

उनको क्या कहें, उनका क्या है,
आज यहाँ तो कल वहाँ हो लिए,

कभी सारी हद्दें पार कर लेते हैं
तो कभी दयरों में बंध जाते हैं,

आते तो हैं वो, पर केवल जाने के लिए
ऐसों पर कोई कैसे भरोसा कर ले,
जिनमें कोई स्थिरता ही नहीं?
बादल तो, कहीं भी बरस जाते हैं,
कहीं हरियाली, तो कहीं
केवल तृष्णा।

-

I open my wounds
all those hidden crevices
for you, to view,
as the day changes hue.

Each of those broken pieces,
dripping honey dew,
breaking all chains, all links, binding me to you.

I give you all my vulnerabilities
No, it is not weakness,
it is something thicker &deeper
long imprisoned in heart.

Now flowing, bursting through!
it will not stop
it will crop,
many seasons, anew.

-

हर इक वो पल जो तेरे आलिंगन
को समर्पित किया,
स्वर्णिम हुआ,
कतरा कतरा अरक़ अलंकृत तत्व शुभा
