मैंनें पत्थर तराश मूरत करना चाहा
हाथ कुछ न आया छालों के सिवा

Have you noticed
the starless sky
trees and flowers
but no butterflies,
what might be the reason
treason or season
bitter truths
or sugar coated lies
Is it the beginning
or dusky demise
or broken promise
of a heart so wise...

-

Butterflies of love
what did you do?
what did you do
on his blooming smile,
his questionnairing heart
and sensational lies....
where did you fly?
when his pinky finger
entwined mine
and the pauses talked
those buttery lines
in a candlelit diner
of garrulous eyes...

-

She's a snowflake
perfectly carved
but ephemeral.....
a delight to be felt
yet cold as hell,
a heavenly soul,
thaws when held.....

-

As a river,
I'm destined to join the sea
But,
The water in me,
often flows beyond the brim
in search of its purpose
and truthful meaning,
So, it's a reminder to self-
'a river flowing'
you grow, you search
you find, you reason
it's in your stars
to meet the oceans....

-

Her love stretches out to the very end of the city, so He abodes in the outskirts to have the bestest view of it....

-

ज़रा सी देर क्या हुई दिले बंजर सजाने में,
मयख़ाना इश्क़ से हटकर नेतागीर बन बैठा।
अमा छोड़ो हटाओ अब तो तख़्त-ओ-ताज की बातें,
सुना है दर्दे सौदागर शहर में पीर बन बैठा.....

-

Am I wave or ocean?
Illness or potion?
A chord that fits no guitar
A night of no star,
Am I shallow or just hollow?
or a distasteful truth
hard to swallow?
What am I?
Define me,
For I'm not the same
as once you found me,
I don't agnize this core anymore
It's a little mine and a lot yours...

-

What have you done with your life? They ask...
Am I the controller? I seek...

-

सब मिलता है उस दुनिया में
जिसे ख़्वाब कहते हैं,
कि अब वो ज़िन्दगी है जीनी
जिसे 'काश' कहते हैं।
