रात गए जब अन्धकार में सारा संसार सो जाता, और मन में निराशा जगह बनाती भोर हुए, आस दिलाने को आती क्षितिज की पहली लाली सांझ हुए अन्धकार में घर का रस्ता भूल कर इधर-उधर जब भटके पंक्षी राह दिखलाने को उसको आती चंदा की कोमल लाली जाड़े की कठोर कम्पन्न से जब अंग-अंग ठिठुरता ऊर्जा संजो कर अपने भीएतर ह्रदय वेग को मद्धम करने आती आदित्य की चंचल लाली आहुति दे बलवान जब गिर पड़ते घायल हो उस पावन भूमि पर युध्य की धुल मंडराती सिर पर बलिदानी की शोभा बढ़ाने को आती शत्रु की लहू की लाली
Will you buy that book from the used book store down by the river? The words are awkward and lines cheesy, but that’s not why I read them on weekends! Will you go to a game of test cricket on a beautiful Caribbean island? I didn’t understand the rules of game and the strategies, but … More Dream a dream of us!
Voracious emotions vacillateBetwixt various meta-stables Tempers flare and revered bonds breakI stand there, disgusted at self Often a rush to fill the voidThree dimensional shadow of self I stagger, stumble instantlyConsequences of an inherent flaw Ataraxic state of soul lostRealized undeserved aponia Every atom of existence renegesUncountable promises unfulfilled A timorous mind lets it all … More Death of a promise!
When the sun has set, and the sky ablaze with fiery stars When the earth has cooled, and the zephyr blows at lazy pace When the mortals have slept, and the darkness whispers silently When the Endless roams earth, and people dream his infinite realm When the demons descend, and the angels flutter wings to … More Beyond!
In an ever expanding universe We move closer defying darkness Violating Hubble’s sacred law As we gravitate towards the center Amidst the confluence of our Own twisted, convoluted emotions Rupture the fabric or space and time Conceive our own ephemeral continuum We embrace, we annihilate the other In a brilliant burst of infinite … More Death of a Universe
It started in a lucid Dream Lying beside the last witch The fingers weaved pleasure Atoms align in ataxic trajectory The body in motion curved To the dictates of passion The hearts ascend in ecstasy Propelled by lust and Desire Soul dances in pandemonium Of feelings raging within A tempest of irresistible force Destiny’s veracity … More Saudade
You are but a constant breeze in my life Soothing soul, when the summer sun burns Pleasing, while the ephemeral spring lasts Freezing the bones when winter arrives Now I am in my personal perennial winter The chill is not desired and neither are you Yet I can lose you not for memories live long … More Constant!
Far edge of a long night Sky attuned to lunar theme Angels string the cloud A million colors erupt out Coupled to memories in past An iota of saudade in present Dawn draws near, unabated I beg moon for another ray Sun’s callous rays spill over Realm turns white, colorless!
میں حسرتیں بیان کرتا رہا وه لطیفہ سمجھ محظوظ ہوتے رہے شب-فراق پھر آی بغلگہیر ہونے خوشنود صبح کی امید میں شب سے لپٹا رہا انکے دل پی سرد لہری سی تار تھی جسم آفتاب کی تپش میں جھلستا رہا خواب اور خیالات کا ایک اندراج تعبیر کی تلاش میں احمد بھٹکتا رہا
Alone, venture into darkness In search of an ancient myth Flew too close to the sun Heart burst into a million flames Ashes slip through clenched fingers A broken promise all that survives Fractured body abhors self And the trail of tears thus formed Ordinary beauty gravitates the mind Soul rejects the ephemerity of it … More Yet Again!
