नज़र
नज़र को नज़र की तलाश हैबूँद – बड़े सागर पर, यादों का भवर सवार हैबह गया तोह प्यार बह, रोक लूँ तोह हमारी कहानी हैपलकों ने फिर की सांझेदारीपास रह कर भी, मिल ना सकी बेचारीपास रह कर भी मिल ना सकी बेचारीदूरी का उन्होंने एक बाँध बनायाबाँध ने रोक ली किस्सों की नदियाँ सारीबस पल – दो पल का ही तो इंतज़ार है बस पल – दो पल का इंतज़ार हैनज़रों का दोनों तरफ एक सा हाल ही हैना रह सकेंगी बिन दीदार केमुश्किलें भी ना रोक पाएंगी अब इन्हे, हौसलों की बुलंद मशाल है बस पल – दो पल का इंतज़ार हैनज़रों का दोनों तरफ एक सा हाल…

FRIENDS :: The One Where They Get Back Together
Spoiler : I just saw the FRIENDS Reunion Episode for the second time. Caution : Hey, even if you have never heard of FRIENDS, don’t worry.. this is not about the show. But honestly tell me, how could you NOT have heard of the Show? Not seeing it – Well, This is one of the blessings I got from COVID-19 and I have myself seen it now. The show is a good and indeed really good show but I am still not a part of the FRIENDS cult. So, please dont hunt me or feel bad if you havent seen it yet! Though, if you need something to watch, it…

A Drop of Sweat
A drop of water That defines my tales My lows and my turmoils The courage and all it takes A drop of water Saline and pure Rigor and vigorous Times of uncertainty and unsure A drop of water To sing all melodies Of success and triumphs Of learning and happinesses For it was this drop of sweat That made it through Which didn’t leave me When I was week and shrewd The drop to make all the difference To make a warrior from a frightened man A drop that I always cherish For galas die But hardwork persists

Stopping Time
Why won’t you stop? Why won’t you just listen? I need a moment Or maybe more Till it all sinks in From the moment that I started With you as my constant companion A shadow in the watch A friend, sometimes a foe An observer in oblivion Till the highest of peaks And deep into the oceans great In school, in the mall In office, in my hoe Like a pendulum, you gyrate Breaking me from within And teaching me to move on You are the teacher, I yearn for When I reach out You are long gone O Time, yet again I plead This is one moment that…

Rain
Sound as grand as it might a rain is not always a delight slippery and clogged is how it leaves the roads jams and chokes everywhere, the city is not a pretty sight It doesnt allow the mango to ripe It makes men do extra sweep and wipe It floods the drainage systems and fills the mines It causes disruption of signals It disconnects twitter and skype Worms infect the Lychees in rain Crunch of the Crunches goes stale in vain Need an Umbrella overhead, all the day Rain makes the day mundane If you think I hate it, read twice All the above, is what elders advice Rain clears…

The one for whom I compose this Song
A pinch of right and a pinch of wrong Is the one for who I compose this song He’s bitter, He’s sour But maybe that’s the flavors of his heart He’s dedicated, He’s divine But maybe its just his less known part His journey is not this short; it is rather long Of the one for who I compose this song So much pain is in there In the heart that he bears Yet I see him smile Even when nothing good he hears Never had a friend, did he for very long The one for who I compose this song At times he can get greedy Wanting more than…

The Rhythm of my own Song
They want me silent They want me controlled They need me to fit their perfect mould To walk and talk like a lady to cook and clean and be a heliolatry To be the one who’s easily defined not too rugged but can sail through every grind. But in my head, stuck there is a song it is not too loud but it has been there all along Its speaks of a place I want to see It speaks of the people who wish, just like me It sings the verses of brave knights of battles and wins here, I can only dream at night It tells about the women…
