Whisper of the Silence.....

The winds blew with a heavy heart.....

Like running away with rolling tears....





At last the sun was waving a kiss...

Him, the night was going to miss.....





Did anyone see what the wind kept to herself?

Or ignore its broken self?





A faith, a hope, shattered today....

The wound it caused never happened in a day...





The howling wind made its voice heard....

In the den, it entered with a heart burnt...



Why should she talk in whispers?

In the grave of forbidden silences?



Nobody consoled her broken heart.....

She melted in her own arms.....



Away with its silent mourns,

It spread it wings on the weary charms....



The dusk settled and it started its cries....

The howl grew louder in wintery nights....



The trees hang down  their faces in shame.....

When her elbow rustles with leaves in pain.....



The whispers went unnoticed with times.....

Sometimes loud, fiery with lightening clouds.....



Her anger grew higher and sobbing decreased.....

When at last she punished the culprit in sleep.....



No one knows when she had her revenge.....

Why then she still whispers intense???



Is it the sadness, she can no longer hold?

Or is it the love, she had but never told?





I begin to sympathize with her whispers in cold.....

Whenever she whispers, I try to console.....



The silent nights move ahead in times....

Still at nights, she whispers her cries....





Still those whispers........

In those silent nights......

Ik khyaal.......

इक ख़याल......







अपनों  में  अजनबी  कितने??
अजनबियों  में  अपने  कितने?
ख़याल  ये रख  मन - 

मन में सवाल कितने?
 

सवालों  के  जवाब  कितने ?

जवाबों  के  हिसाब  कितने?
आज  वक़्त गुज़र  भी गया -
तो ये हिसाब-ए -इंतज़ार  कितने ?



इंतज़ार का आलम

देखो-कितना लम्बा है?

दो गज़ की दूरी है,

और सालों  का अँधेरा है.…





ज़िंदा सभी हैं...

ख्यालों के समन्दर में।

उठती लहरे हैं

ख्याल ही जैसे ज़िन्दगी हो।



हर ख़याल में क़ाबिज़ ,

अफसानों का इक सवेरा है।

देखना है अब तो.....

कब छटता  ये अँधेरा है।





अंधेरे को अब रोशिनी का सहारा है…

जैसे कश्ती को लहरों का किनारा हैं

मौत किनारे पर ज़िंदगी को देखे यूँ

वक़्त लहर बन ज़िन्दगी को धकेले यूँ।



ज़िन्दगी जिंदा रहने की जिद है.....

मौत तो एक बेपरवाह नींद है।

क्या आलम हो उस ज़िंदगी का.....

मौत से ना जिसको कोई  खौफ हो।

Promising Togetherness.....

My heart is where you live.....

Making it a home for you and me.....

The whispers laugh at our silent moments...

Drifting us away from the world to see.....



Seas of happiness confine us within every dream....

All night, hand in hand we chatter.....

Sharing smiles,tears, fears and laughter......

Love in our hearts, twinkling in our eyes.....



We dwell in a heaven of happy surprise....

Your dreams in my eyes......

Your love in my heart.....

Your smile on my lips...



Your eyes in my eyes.....

Your heart beating in mine.....

In your hands, my hands......

In your breath, I breathe.....



I don't care what year is it....

With you its a time standing still.....

My life is with you....

Every day and every dream....



As we move together.....

Waking up from ages....

I find you waiting for me.....

And you find me ......



Changing worlds as we are born....

I wait for you, every dawn.....

Some lives we steal for our own....

And promise togetherness before gone....

Nazm ik aisi bhi......

Nazm koi padhta hai shayar.......

Bandhta hai lafzon me jaise koi aansu....

Aankhon se chhalakta nahi dekha maine ....

Magar dil se toh roya zaroor hoga koi........

Kabhi hasi goonje kisi khwaish jaise.....

Zikra jab koi kar baithe bin soche....

Woh fir tanhaiyon me dhoondne ko jaise....

Chal padhe hain khayaalon ke kaafile....





Translation: A poet reads a poem.....

Like tying tears in his words.....

I didn't see them falling.....

But someone has cried I am sure.....





Like some giggle echoes as if a wish....

When unknowingly someone mentions.....

To search again in those loneliness.....

Thoughts take a walk like a caravan.....

 

Life and Love....

Is this Life?

Yes.....





Can I watch over till you hold me?

Am sorry!!!



I mean, can I come along?

Sure....but who is this?





I am Love. Don't you know me?

NO.





What???? That's strange.

I only know Death....





Great, I know her too, that evil lady....

Evil?



Yes, she steals everyone from me. Evil Witch.....

Sorry, but she is my bride....





Ohhhh!!!! Ok! Ok! I get it......She stole you too from me.

Am getting late.....You are on your own





Bye(sobbing)

Bye.







 

The Day will follow.....

The morning sun on its way.....
Climbs up and there it stays.....

How boring is to wait alone.....
To see all going home....

The noon got shunned away.....
The orange, yellow light died at bay.....

What made it, casted a spell.....
And down went the orange jewel....



The shades of clouds that made no sound......
Moved as if in a jungle , moves a hound.....

The prey is hidden well in the cave.....
And the predator is on its way......



Shadows approach and lay on the ground.....
Knowing well, below they will be found.....

When the darkness overtakes....
It will be felt in every place.....



But it's still time for eyes to close.....
Put off the lights and close the doors....

The stars begin to twinkle their smiles.....
And the sky looks like a beautiful bride.....



The silence singing its song to the ears.....
You don't notice, yet so near.....

Overtaking your tired body and soul....

Dreaming with eyes closed......



And all is this....
The day will follow every night.....
And it never does rest in quiet....

 

Two Friends......

Two friends met after years......

One was blind and the other could not hear......

The blind spoke of love and friendship........

Thinking the deaf would hear.......



The deaf  saw the blind smiling.....

And felt his words deep within....

Never was a word he missed to hear.....

And never was the silence so clear...
