Anavart Ho Sakungi (Will I Come to Life ?  )  

Hidden in a stone, there lies my face

Will I ever come to life and unveiled?

 

Those life's songs and verse

I am longing to hum and sing

Will my voice ever be heard?

 

Buried deep, in the depths of my mind

are the dreams that are still alive

Will those ever, return once more to life ?

 

The silenced words and a soul,

Struggling, trapped and fraught

Will ever find their release ?

And flow out like tears in spree.

 

 

Stree ( A Women)

To stay happy, come what may

Is how a woman lives. Always!

She survives, even the scarcity

Growing like a weed even in adversity

 

She knows, how to compromise

And keep her afloat against the tide

A home cooked food, a nice dress

A favorites book or a glass bangle nevertheless

 

Are all that takes to make her happy and content!

Even if there is no love around, as she intents

Or beloved cheats on her with other women

Still she cares for home and all dear once

 

 To keep the roof over her head

She keeps alive the illusion home instead

Accepting everything as destined

She strives to keeps herself thrilled

 

Like a waterfall, her pain flows

In strangers comforting ears, find its cure

 She thinks about what all she has

 not in what all she lacks.

 

 To stay happy, come what may

Is how a woman lives. Always!

 

Barsaat Ki Raat (A Rainy Night)

The lashing rain outside,

soothes my mind

As it reads my thought.

Understands my silence after all.

 

The pain inside my heart

Oozes out as tears flow

And the thunder above

Becomes one with the inner row.

 

In the sky above, it slaps and smacks

Like the thoughts inside my mind clash

This rainy night forces me to write

And a new poem sees a light.

 

Nirmohi Wo Kaun? (A Ruthless Soul)

Why my mind suffers?

What's this pain

That forever remains.

 

What thrist is it?

That I fail to quench.

 

What nectar is that?

I long to taste.

 

What's that hope inside me?

That refuses to give in.

 

 

Who is that ruthless soul?

For whom I my heart wait and call.

 

 

How difficult these moments are to endure!

I fail to cross and go beyond.

 

Within those window-less walls?

A bird is caged and mauled.

 

Where is that sky?

I long to fly.

 

Gammon Ko Dafan Kar De (Let's Bury Our Pain)

Let's gather all pains and grief

And put them in a coffin to bury

 

Deeper inside the heart, let's bury it for sure

And something on it, let's pour

 

Say the sour memories of today

Where it melts and becomes

One with our soul someday.

 

And there slowly dissolves all our blues

And cleans away from the heart and mind too.

 

Because if it is allowed to stay

It is sure to erupt like lava one day,

 

Sometimes from eyes or voice there in

And maybe one day,

Shattering the body it resides in.

 

Bina Prem Ke ( Without Love)

Even during the heated passion

A man fails to surrender his obsession

 

The mania with his ego

That he refuses to let go

 

But something there he misses

When he refuses to give in

That without love...

 

Heat of the moment will be there for sure

And cool breezes of the monsoons to lure

 

But like a drugged man and his vice

Your soul will fail to find peace and life.

 

Yeh Tum Hi Ho (It's You)

It's You...

Who desires and demand

 

The two faces of hers

Of a slave and a lover

Both known and a stranger

 

Yet when it comes to commit

You choose your limits

Not disclosing your love

 

And telling her, you want to stay

In the depth of her love always

It's You...

 

Who drives her into the gloom?

Dumping her where only darkness creeps in

Making her, the sinner and a sin.

 

And the trembles ran all over.

I felt alive

Then, I realize

How beautiful is life!

 

 

Andhere Mein Kandeel (A lighted lamp)

Holding  thousands of darkness within

Is blazing a lamp

Held between cold trembling hands,

Is blazing a lamp

 

Not even a ray on it falls

But whom to complaint as she recalls

That since the long back it had been the same

It's always been dark beneath the lamp.
