Because William Wordsworth said – Poetry is a spontaneous overflow of feelings; it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility.
her arms are open
an empty a vessel in the ocean
without a drop of water
the warmth she one felt
is giving away to the dreadful cold
the cold is hitting her inch by inch
she longs like a baby
longing for his mother’s touch
for the warmth that once engulfed her
the hold that told her
that everything was fine
the world was as it should be
she is protected forever
from the harms of the wild
no tear could touch her or harsh words
she is at a loss of words,
of feelings, of thought
a numbness casts its evil shadow
in its realm she stands still
longing for the warmth that once engulfed her
longing for the affection that once surrounded her
she waits..
moments, days, weeks, months, years..
counting droplets of water in the wide seas
is there an end,
will the water ever drain out
she waits for the warmth,
the look that everything was okay
she looks at the horizon,
and sees no end
life seeming to be an endless tunnel
where she travels inch by inch,
the cold wind hitting her
in solitude, in pain, in silence, in tears
and waits..
moments, days, weeks, months, years..

मेरी मुलाकात, मुझसे…
सूरज की रौशनी में पत्तियाँ जाग उठी हैं
उनके जीवन में एक नया दिन, एक नई शुरुवात,
हवा भी अपना जादू चला रही है
पत्तियाँ इसी खुशी में दोल रही है शायद
मेरे चेहरे पर एक मुस्कान की कमी है
सूरज और हवा वो खिला नही पाती
झरोके से देखूं तो सब कुछ हरा भरा है
दिल में झाँकू तो एक वीरानगी सी चाई है
मेहफ़िल है मेरे चारों ओर,
कितने लोग, कितनी हसी,
आईना देखूं तो मेरे चेहरे पर हसी है,
लेकिन क्या येह मेरा चेहरा है?
पेहचन नही पाती मैं अपनी तस्वीर को
कभी कबार पेहचान लेती हूँ अपनी परछाई को
इस नई सुबह मैं खोजने निकली हूँ इसी दुआ से,
के किसी मोड़ पर मेरी मुलाकात हो जाए, मुझसे,
इस बार आफताब और हवा मेरी मदद करदे शायद।
An old one…
दिलों की कमी नही है, पर प्यार कितना कम है,
लफ्जों की कमी नही है, पर एहसास कितना कम है।
लफ्जों की कमी नही है, पर एहसास कितना कम है।
हवाओं की कमी नही है, पर साँसें कितनी कम है,
देहेकता सूरज होने पर भी, मेरी दुनिया में रौशनी कितनी कम है.
Yesterday or Tomorrow
Many a time my crazy self
Has wondered if I could turn back time
Ask the waves to go back home,
So that I could tread once again
Onto my footprints in the sand.
I will start from where I started
I will follow a few steps, I think
Then trace a different path
For the waves to take home
Yesterday is what I know
Yesterday is what was there
Tomorrow is an unknown
I dont know if it will be there.
This time, I will make some better choices
Coz Yesterday taught me the wrong ones
I will laugh a little more
Yesterday showed me when I cried.
I would go back to yesterday
Run to it as fast as I could
Change many things one by one
To make them memories for tomorrow.
This time I wouldnt ask the waves to go back
I wouldnt look for my footprints
Would hold on to yesterday and feel happy tomorrow
That I was lucky enough to get a second chance!!
