None for No One

If i die
No one is there
Who will miss me
Not a single stone will be upturned
Not a single drop of water will be disturbed
Not a single leaf will stir..

If i die
Nothing will happen
Not a single set of feet will stop for a moment
Not a single bird will sigh
Not a name will be mentioned..

If i die
No Sun will feel a void
No Moon will sing a song upon my dead body
Not a single ripple will rise in the waves of cosmos
There is none for a nobody.

If i die
A small girl may cry for sometimes
Then she will forget all about me by n by
Only she will feel the discomforts in her daily chore
She will bloom into a large lotus-fragrant n vibrant
And will shake n discard a dirt from her shinning petals
If i die
I will be no where labelled as nothing.

~Tu Akela kahan!

Kavi kavi lagta hai-
Jo mai kisi raat chal basun
To Tumhe likh kar kaun bhejega...
Kitna v paisa kusiko thamao
Koi eisa saqs nahi
Jo mara hua insaan ka kaam karega...
Tab kya hoga-
Jab mere batein Tumhare phone ko
knock nahi karenge
Tab to Tum akele ho jaoge...
Ab to mere batein...aur mera saya
Tumhe mashruf rakhte hein...
Sath dete hein hamesha...
Tab kya hoga -akele pad jaoge!
Tumhara dekh bhal kaun karega...
Pyar namaste kaun bhejega..
Jhagdega kaun Tumse..
Tumhare man ki baat padh kar
jaan kaun lega...
Yehi soch kar sina bhari hone chala
Aur bhar gai ankh bhi, Khajiooria!
Par... Ye dilasha v ai sath dath
Ki tab khud mere rooh Tere sath hoga...
Aur kisi na kisi baat se
Ye ehsash deti rahegi-
Tu Akela nahi Banke,
Roli Tere sath hai...
Barabar hai...

~Tu Akela kahan!

देवाबास (~Devábás)

Aj bhi woh ghar -
wese hi adha chhaon adha Alok se
dhaka hua ek anchhuan mandir ki tarha seeatal shanti bikiran kar raha hoga...
Ab v wo adha swarg adha martya ka
ek hissa jeisa apne mahaniyata me
prabhav shali lag raha hoga...
jahan mai ek suitcase-
suitcase ke andar mere hriday-madhu sajaye, mithai ki tokri hath me lie gai thi kavi...
Aj v wohin par eise hi unka chappal-
dhoya, sajaya hua rakha hoga...
Jeise koi kabhi pahna nahi ho-
saalo bit gaya ho-
us jute ko unki pair sparsh ka...
Woh megh-mahal sa ghar...
Aj v wo ghar wese hi khada hoga...
thanda, shant, sheetal,
adha chaaya, adha alok me dhaka hua-
kisi devta ki akanksha me...
aj v uski jharokhe me tamaal lata
lipati hogi...aur aj v kisi taila-chitra se
Nikla hua ek sketch ki tarha...
Kisi ki sanson ki gahri ahat ki tarha-
Wo ghar ka mahol saja hoga...
Aj v ....

Take wings...

Bright Bliss
Take wings...
Fly up...up ...
With the sacred fire,
Tag a wish!

Start as a Fire-Fly
And slowly become a Fire-Flower
And then a Dazzling-Star!
Mount the radiance of my soul
And illuminate the darkness around...
Tag my heart...
Make it fly as a blue burning kite...

O Bright Bliss,
Take wings...

Dusra Dil

Wo pyara sa phone
Jisme mere hriday ki sare batein
Jakar ke samaahit hote hein,
Uski darshan ke lie aj subah se hi
Na Jane man kyun byakul hai...
Jab Tumhare hatho k shree na badhata ho
Tab kis halaat me kahan par rahta ho...
Mere Man ka ghar
Mere Dusra Dil-
Tumhara Phone!

Recalling

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...

The Map

Your Footprints …
along the bay of my heart 
create a LifeLine for me...
Holding which i start the non-ending journey... 

On my way i find
scented flower beds 
with angels playing sweet music, 
fairies dancing to their tune, 
with a bright brilliant sunlight
smiling somewhere in between...

But somewhere i stumble ...
deep dark pits with evil creatures lurking inside...
mouth agape, screaming...
if i fall, they will devour me ...
But i hold onto the Sacred Charm
that fell from ur eyes,
and the single candle of love
that we both have lighted with a fire, non-stop!

i cling to the LifeLine that you gifted me,
and i pass by the dangerous tunnels, pits and caverns...
Each time i emerge out of a deep dark creek,
there is light everywhere,
and earth smiles at me..
Holding the Sun in your hand you stand
there in the yonder and call out my name...
Again and again ...

A beautiful Map of Your Foot Prints spreads before me,
and i start the Treasure Hunt again...
