GOD WEPT ALL NIGHT

(The wide-spread violence all around the world, leaves God in tears)

A drop of dew on a blade of grass
asked me to lay and look across

So I do, what it say
keep staring, dead I lay
I can't find anything there
except the glitter and a glare

the dew now slowly disappears
making me sad and leaving me in tears
A drop slips down my sad face
now the grass-blade holds it with grace

The tear looks same as the dew I saw
'n' before any conclusion I could draw..
I hear the red skies shout from that height
-"God wept his eyes-out all night"...

Pursuit of happiness

My pursuit of happiness, made me pursue knowledge
Knowledge dragged me away from the materialism, so profound
and here I am, thinking about my country
The "I" is gone and what I see is a crowd of billions of people and
their journey in their pursuit of happiness.....................

सरिताएं

ये मेरी कैसी कविताएँ, कवियें ये आखर सरिताएं
सरिताएं की जिनमें डूब में जाऊं
डूब के इन्में क्या में पाऊँ
अब तुमको कैसे बतलाऊँ
ना पाऊँ में सीप या मोती
मोती के अन्दर जो होती
वो ज्योति ये सरिताएं
ये मेरी कैसी कविताएँ

सरिताओं की धार में आया
आ कर अपना जी बहलाया
पर बोलो सरिताओं ने क्या पाया
न पाई वो सीप या मोती
न पाई वो निर्मल ज्योति
फिर क्यूँ बहतीं ये सरिताएं

ये मेरी कैसी कविताएँ,
कविताएँ ये आखर सरिताएं

BALLOONS

When a child gets a balloon, he becomes very happy. He plays with it for some time and then either the balloon bursts or flies away from him. the child starts crying. He feels as if he has lost something.
Now, why does someone develops any sort of attachment to a thing which a property to fly away or to get destroyed, like a balloon? People around us are like balloons and they all will one day fly away. But we still make relationships with them....after all, the child within us is still there.

STOP GUIDING ME

Stood there, all alone and I was happy
I was exactly what I wanted to be
Someone whispers from behind my shoulders
and asks me to move and lift those heavy boulders
They say that I have got "That" in me
something which great and only they can see

They push me in the battle field
with a sword and a heavy shield
Now I am a warrior and they are happy
but I am not what I wanted to be.....
I am not what I wanted to be....

I was free, with not a single desire
They were the one, who lit the fire
I had to jump in the web of pain
The fire is gone in a single rain

Now I am troubled and am wondering were to go?
There's no one to tell and I don't know
surrounded by these ugly creatures
these haveing deadly features
I'll be stabbed, once I show my back

I am afraid and I am tired
don't know when I'll be fired
give me a hand and pull me out
I need nothing, o' i am sure
my heart was, and is still very pure

Thank you , O' dear CREATOR for your precious gift(life)
but it's now too heavy, and I am unable to lift..
Allow me in, I'm at your door
I would keep my head in your laps...
and finally therein ...I'll collapse

MY TASK AND MY SOUL

It's me and you here, the only two
There's a task ahead and there's a lot to do
The path ahead is long and a treacherous one
We'll have to walk and sometimes run
We can't wait and have any fun
as, there's a task ahead and there's a lot to be done...

My feet may bleed, as I don't have any shoes
but ii don't have anything..(and thus)
have nothing to loose
A single path lays ahead, none to choose
There's a task ahead and there's a lot to do

I can walk all day and night
all I need is a ray of light
I'll need you , if I loose my sight
the task can't be left undone
so walk by dear chase the sun.......

NOISY SILENCE


Your silence is disturbing me
You are hiding something ,I know
and that's all what I can see

Please tell if I ask you
as true friends like me are very few
share your happiness and sorrows too
show your wounds, whatever they may be
Your silence is disturbing me.

You need not walk alone any more
All your wounds, I'll cure
from all your pains, I'll make you free
But still....Your silence is disturbing me...

मेरे सच्चे शेर

 बड़ा पायाब रिश्ता है मेरा मेरी ही हस्ती से ज़रा सी आँख लग जाये, मैं ख़ुद को भूल जाता हूँ (पायाब: shallow)  दरख़्तों को शिकायत है के तूफ़ाँ ...
