butterfly

The six poems in this collection, published first on Facebook in 2010, strung together through the thread of the individual, present the first volume of my poems on the self.

They carry contemplations on the necessity of metamorphosis, memory, self-reliance and multiple perspectives

butterfly

there isn’t a bit of doubt my friend

that the caterpillar has to meet its end

so the world sees joy in a butterfly

‘m filled to the brim in longing, ‘m about to fly

between shadows

often the clouds are just too dark
often the sliver is not just a line
often i forget my strengths when ‘am sad
or fail to see a shadow beneath the shine

ज़हन

न कागज न सियाही 

पर मुकर्रर तलाश

न ख्वाब  न  उम्मीद

गर  बेदर  याद्दाश्त

narcisist

to love the sound of my melancholy voice

and admire my script glide and quiver

it isn’t really a despondent choice

to find my moist eyes shine and shimmer

call it conceit, or a simple need to rejoice

going’s gotten tough, tough’s gotta get better

अक्स या तस्वीर

.गुरुर सूरते-अक्स, .गुमां रु.खे-तस्वीर

बीच .खामोश साया या आहट सी इक लकीर

ख़रोच खुरेद तराशता वाजूदे-शम्शीर

यहि मेरा मकाम, मेरी जुस्तजू और तकदीर

बिखरे .खयाल

फिर वोह सवाल हुआ है खडा

कौन्सी मंज़िल तेरी और क्या रास्ता

खुली कलम थामे कोरे पन्ने तकता

अधूरे गीत बिखरे धुन गुनगुनाता

रंग… न तमन्ना भरे न सियाही बने

रूखी कुम्ची खयालों में भिगाता

फिर ये .खयाल है बिखरा पडा

क्या है मज्बूरी तेरी किसका वास्ता
