ना तुम्हें याद करना चाहता हूँ, ना तुम्हें भुला पाता हूँ।

ना तुम्हें याद करना चाहता हूँ,

ना तुम्हें भुला पाता हूँ।


ना तुम्हें पाना चाहता हूँ,

ना तुम्हें छोड़ पाता हूँ।


बस हमारी आँखें तुम्हारा इंतज़ार करती हैं,

बस हमारा दिल तुम्हें पुकारता है।


अब हो गई उम्र,

अब हो गई जुदाई।


बस तुम्हें अपने पास चाहता हूँ,

बस तुम्हें अपने साथ चाहता हूँ।

Passerby shades

Wide and tall, it witnesses many souls around
Scared thread across, it encompasses  mortals heir
Withering in storm, it is passerby shades 
Standing alone, it live to see lives many

Pond beside, is filled with nature gifts
The bosoms around, are never passionately looked upon
Children plays entire day, none to scold and call on
Concerns never drown anyone, all happy and gay
Fresh and clean, the pond is life of the lives surround
Festive is in the air, blessed with internal bliss

The baby goats run on the mound, tired, sit under the tree
Mound guards the pond from all sides, is the evening place 
Villagers working in town, rush to sit around till dusk
They watch their cattle graze, coming from far on their own 
Few remains till midnight, to watch the fireflies dance 
At first light of morn, the birds sing their song

With spring, its leaves are back again 
Sheds it few branches, gives space for new chain
Dry not any more, the peepal tree is alight and live
New faces all over, many lives just arrive

You groped her, You are Lutyens’ police

You groped her though you took oath to save her
You tore her apart, promising to protect her
You raped the honour, the dignity, the innocence, she wore
Wearing Khaki, you breached the trust bestowed upon you

What was her fault, what was she doing
Standing far way, she was just holding a pen, a note book
Busy taking notes about the incident, while on duty
Neither she asked for anything nor she made any complaint
Quietly she capturing the act of violence in words and in lens
She was there, every was aware, and it was her right

You realized situation went out of your hand
You found her standing alone, weak
You ran towards her staring at her chest 
You pressed her right breast and pushed her back

Agast! She saw herself then beaten
Not by just one, but by several others
When looked around, another fellow was also down
Surrounded by dozen of Khaki puppets, she was in tears and pain
Holding her breath, she kept begging to spare her
When she almost lost her breath, she was left alone  

You in pride, your masters gave a pat on the arm
You did a great job, would be recommended for awards
You paid a lot to be where you are 
You are a brave heart, you are Lutyens’ police

The eyes I remember every moment of my life




The eyes I remember every moment of my life, 

the eyes that keep me awake every second, 

the eyes I am dying to encounter it again, 

the eyes that speak speechlessly to me, 

the eyes that haunt me in the crowd, 

the eyes that shiver my spine,

the eyes that make me complete, 

the eyes that I am scared of, 

the eyes that took away me from myself,

the eyes that reflected the angelic rays… 

Now left me all alone

Friends for ever

When winds were blowing,
We were holding each other's hand,
When it was raining, we were drenched,
Laughing at each other,

The sky was roaring, exposing us,
The trees were laughing, hinting us,
The flowers were smiling, ignoring us,
The sea waves were scaring, drowning us,

When things were bad,
We felt for each other,
When days were gone, 
We missed for each other.

Every day, I wonder this is what I wanted



Every day I wonder, this is want I wanted

Thinking of reply, I always get restive

The more I muse, The more I get blank

And truth remains same, I don’t want any more


Walking on streets while my heart is somewhere away

Going to office, and leading indiscipline disciplined life

Meeting acquaintances and engrossed in daily chores

Amidst the callousness and everything seems colorful

Talking and chanting, days, months and years go by

Heartedly kicking and running, fighting for own space

Sink with all and fly with some, it’s all time event

Going down, again climbing, is what we see around

Pushing, coercing the great master teaches to live with

The world around looks to be divine place to go on

When no one is around longing for left out is no more

It is all black and you are no more what you are 


No more, I wonder want I wanted to be

I think no more, I am no more restive

It’s all blank and I can’t see what I have to

Long lost, now no ways left to find what I want
