Love cruises...

  • In the ocean of heart,
    love cruises...
    Do the friendly Dolphin hear 
    the thundering heartbeat...
    Only it understands the signals or the language too...
    O Starry Eyed Sea God,
    what magic spells you cast...
    The moon becomes shy and has a cloud veil now...
    In the ocean of heart,
    Love cruises...very noisily...
    With what name You call me..
    Everyday i hear a song...
    Every day i search for you...
    With a lantern in hand...
    In fog-sorrunded island...
    Only to find your garland fallen upon a flute...
    And a known name written upon it...
    And Love sails...
    Passangers are all familiar to me...

Aag Payal

Jali phati chhatri se
Na dhoop, na barsaat...
Kuchh nahi rokta,
Bas, hath na khali rah jae,
Tavi dhare rakhna tha...

Jale hue pairon ko
Tapte ret se dard keisa,
Jab pairon me khanke,
Aag ka payal,
Tab dhire dhire jalne me dar keisa...

The Smile Manta

Horses....
And a Farm land...
And thereafter a streching meadow...
Full of poppies and bees..
And your smile...

A fantasy,
An imagination
A reality
Or another life...

Here i herar a horse neigh...
There one gallops...
And somewhere afar You whistle...
And there materialize Uchhaisrava and family from heaven
Looking startled...

And you smile...
So many times i have asked you 
To share the mantra with me...
But you hesitate always...
This time will You....!

Rain Man

I don't know about the Rain
That drips from the sky
To drench the earth...
I don't really know-
Whether it rained today or yesterday...
But it rains in my heart....
Your soft voice ....
Your loving self ...
They are more than monsoon music for me...
Yes, i know you as Rain Man !

Akhi-heena Pakshi

Jungle ra kartha kuha akhi bhitare
Kuaan tara phuti uthe....
Mo chhati ra paataali kua bhitaru
Akhi-heena pakhi kichhi 
Dena jhadi udi jaanti
Dura digbalaya ku,
Surya ra pada-chinha mapi mapi...
Rasta dise, diseni agaku....
Dena phad phad karu thae,
Rati ru dina, dina ru raati....

Love- a wild flower of the Soul

Love is a wild flower of the Soul......
This wildness, the ancient thread that springs from it,
Attaches me to You...

This has become something so familiar
I know without even knowing it..
Its on my blood, in my bones...
In my heart beat...
In every twinkle of your eyes...
In every breath I take....
Like a memory,
Clings to the Soul like a royal cloak...

Returning Bird



I still remember clearly the lonely waterfront...
And the strong wind caressing my hair,
Those deserted steel benches ...
Where i imagine you still sit sometimes,
With or without me...
And the thousands of returning bird,
Their eager cries ...
Upon reaching the destined trees...
And...
Your voice in my ear,
Echoes, re-echoes all the time...

And your black glasses....

You...
Your down-caste gazes,
Grazing my imaginary eyes in the dust...
And your  Black Glasses...

Befikr...

Dard Tumko v hota hai...
Tum to sare dard k pare ho, O Manraa re.....
Kahungi nahi,
Apne swarth ke liye,
tumhe v dard k samajh ho...
Befikr rahna O Musafir,
Gam aur khusi se...
Ye to maya ki do pankh hain...
Kahan ...kis mod par tu phasna jana...
Agae chal, agae chal...
Chala chal, chalte chal...
O Rahi,
Chalta chal...

Sakheen

Tere ankhein samandar,
Mere chhoti si nao re...
Jane tu kab juar bheje,
Kabhi shant sameeran...
Ye tere pe hai...

Uthna padna lehron k sang
Adat si hai ab to...
Akele akele yun bahte jana
Jaan, ab pasand v hai mujhko...

Tere chhati me,
Tere ankhon me
Chhota sa lantern lie,
Raton ko tairna
Saukh ban gai ab to...

Pata chala hai....

Raste, chaurahein, galiyan-
inko v muskurana ata hai,
Pata chala hai....
Ye bejaan si ...
Inko v hasna ata hai,
Pata chala hai...
Kabhi ye sach much me has pade the...
Jagah jagah khushion ki dere aur muskaan ka muhalla sajake rakhe the
Ye pata chala,

Aj in bejan raste, galion aur chaurahon ko gumshum, ahh bharte suna,
To ye pata chala hai,
K inko v hasna ata tha...

~an excerpt from a soldier's diary ~

To the Universal Peace,
i send thousand greetings!
And to the loving faces,
I send heartfelt wishes...

to those half forgotten ocean-streets,
Where once i used to dwell
As a mermaid, bejewelled,
I send hundred sounds of conch shell,
in a coral envelope....

Will the air tell me about the delivery,
Can the sea send me a receipt -
That my tidings have reached the destination,
It always wanted to be...

In this blood-hewn, scream filled barrack,
Who shall tell me about it...

May be the hidden lamp in my heart
Will light my dinghy sphere...
But what happens when i gradually lose eye sight...

This battlefield...
Will it be the last abode of this life-time......



Tu ayega

Tu ayega, jo janungi,
Jo tere unt ki ghungru sun lungi,
Aur nagra juton ko dekh lungi,
Tu aya hai aur pash khada hai mere
Jo ye band dhadkan ki pitari kahegi,
Thamte hue sansen kahenge,
Najar ke dayre me hun tere,
To ek nhi, do nahi, teen nhi,
Saat ghunghat karungi...

Najron ki nadi me nahani nahi,
Nahi to itni ujli chehra sakhion ko bhati nahi,
Koi hoor kahe, koi Noor,
Koi chudail, koi bhutni,
Mai is jag ki lagti nahi,
Islie Chand, tere Chandni me nahani nahi..  💗💚

Sochun par, eisa koi jagah nahi,
Jahan tera ana jana nahi,
Chhupu keise tujhse...
Keise kisise me kahun mai Bhutni nahi...
O Chand re...
