सफर

साथ तो था पर
सफर, किनारो सा था
चल रहे थे कदम मिला
फिर भी मीलो का फासला था

Shore

The shrieking silence of the shore is broken,

when a lonely heart walks along it.

The roar of sea waves conceals the heart break.

The shore witnesses unlimited memories.

Glistening joys and aching pain.

Kaleidoscope of emotions,

 exist on the same plane.

 Life goes on that way,

 intertwining pleasure and pain.

Pearls are cocooned in oyster shell,

Layers of mysteries have to be unravelled to

reach the real treasure.

Shooting stars

The serene black beauty of the night

Penetrated deep down the heart creating

a vacuum.

Took me on an inner voyage,

I found myself standing on the edge of an ocean watching shooting stars.

The quiescent beauty created emptiness,

As if something is breaking down inside me.

Tears roll down my cheeks,

I wondered does God also cry,

Watching human suffering and misery.

There was brightness outside and darkness inside

But wait a minute!

 Hope arrives the moment

I made a wish to the falling stars

With a belief that my wish will be granted as

Stars too know the pain of falling down.

एहसास

मन की गिरहें खुलने का एहसास तो था,
उन शिकवो और शिकायतों पर
धूल की चादर पड़ चुकी थी अब,
जिसे झाड़ने का न वक्त था न मन
पर फिर भी न जाने क्यों
सुबह तकिया गीला मिलता था।
