झुकी नज़रें

बातों ही बातों में
न कहते हुए भी
बहुत कुछ कह गए

वो इशारे ही काफी थे
समझने के लिये
उस बात को
जिसे जुबान तक न आने दे रहे थे

कल मुझसे नज़रें मिला पाओ
उस खातिर
आज नज़रें झुका कर
चले गए

लेकिन वो झुकी नजरें
भी छुपा न पाई वो कहानी
जिसे बयां न करना चाह रहे थे तुम

..light

Pondering over thoughts
And yet being thoughtless

Living & outliving lies
And contemplating truth

Shaking suppressions
And questioning the alter ego

Overcoming guilts
And discovering self

Living many lives in one
And labouring dreams

The movement

from darkness to light

and light to darkness

define life.

colours

within the grey vista of life

happy yet sad

fearing behind smiles

pleasant yet scared

vindicating himself at every criticism

with the wisdom of experience

speaking through his actions

supressing the whirlpool of emotions

hoping for a miracle

to swap his vicissitude

with a plethora of colours.

dew on the green carpet

Dew on the green carpet,
Birds chirping in their nests,
Some are warm in their quilts,
Some are guarding others concrete.

The sun is struggling to spread its warmth
Beyond the clouds that have come down from heaven.

The ruins of the hours spent by
Tell the story for everyone..
Its burnt coal and tree branches for some
For others it’s a spread out quilt.

But the dew on the green carpet
Is the same for everyone.

m learning....

I have lived two and a half decades
but I learn everyday
how to deal with cowards.
how to deal with maniacs.
how to deal with always sex on the mind men.
how to deal with life..

m learning..
how to smile with a baby...
look at the world from the eyes of innocence...
m learning how to look at the world from the transition from innocence to smartness.
m learning to be street smart.

m learning..
to understand friends..
to understand family...
to understand colleagues...
to understand relations…

m learning..
to rise up..
to raise my voice…
to let others know that m here….

m learning……
