where am I

slips, touches the edges running, 

finding the end, where am I?  

I run all around,
above and underneath the ground, 
searching, screening, finding the here about, 
run run run, they shout.

I am here, all over again in pain, insane.
I need a resting corner it is a serious concern.

I need not hold my shadow faith in him, I bestow 

survival is what I need little of rest and some peace.  

but my feet don't seem to stop 

never ending is the road of life
where am I?  

still hunting the treasured end
the eternal satisfaction I have ran all around,
yet no where is my soul to be found where am I?
above or underneath the ground? 

zindagi ki har cheez lagti hai dekhi-dekhi

phaake mein din gujaare, rahisi bhi dekhi,
mehfilein jamayi, tanhaiyan bhi dekhi.

kuch iss kadar badhi, waki-fiyat hamari,
ki zindagi ki har cheez, lagti hai dekhi-dekhi.

dekh kar kisi ko undekha sa karna,
waqt ke sath-sath nazar badalte dekhi.

jee na sakunga tum bin, hazzaron dafa kaha tha,
jane ke baad unke,  jeene ki chaah bhi dekhi.

tere bina hans paunga, yeh socha bhi nahi tha,
jillat se hans ke maine, sochein badalte dekhi.

kuch iss kadar badi waki-fiyat hamari,
ke zindagi ki har cheez, lagti hai dekhi-dekhi. 

loneliness

I have often divided my lunch with her, 
she knows all of my dreams, 
my ambitions, my dark days often, 
however I don’t really know 
what to tell her because 
she puts me to uneasiness. 

there are mornings in which 
she drives me mad,
because she is not invited, 

yet she introduces herself
with the first lights of the dawn. 

she walks all day long by my side
in the middle of the crowd at times,  

however I have also loved
and desired her more than any other things,
as when gazing at the splendour of nature
or while listening to a good music. 

she has seen me crying for an ended love,
for some sad, though I believe 

that lot of times she has endured pain for me. 

once I have seen her caressing
a dead leaf fallen on the ground,
another time I watched her running
after my sigh.. always silent and discreet. 

while persons in love
are kissed and embraced,
she is with the others
with those who crave for a love. 

when the world is closed out alone
and the night is ready to knock at door,
she is there awaiting..
on the pillow soaked with tears. 

at times she is beautiful as an angel,
at times ugly as sin,
but she is always a lady,
and she is called  "loneliness"

bad’duaa de ya duaa de, kuch samajh aata nahi

chalte chalte raah mein woh thokarein khaya kare,
aankh jiski aashmaan ki aur uth jaaya kare,

ek dafaa hota hai raushan aafataab-e-zindagi,
ek bhi katra na iske noor ka zaaya kare,

kya hua jo parr patjhar mein na chhaaya kar sake,
sukhe patton ka bichhauna ban ke bichh jaaya kare,

baarahaan apne diyen to aandhiyon mein bujh gaye,
ab to ek jhonke se dil apna seham jaaya kare!

aankh ka paani kabhi dhota tha mann maila mera,
jab se pathraayi yeh, ek katra na barsaaya kare!

ek kandhe ka sahaara jeeteji milta nahi,
chaar kandhe maut par har shaks hi paaya kare!

bad’duaa de ya duaa de, kuch samajh aata nahi,
zakhm dekar jab wahi zakhmon ko sahlaaya kare!

kya hua chaahat nahi, lekin khuda ki dain hai,
jo mila hai, hum ussi se dil ko bahlaaya kare!

the rock the sea and the sand

I am a rock..
seated at the seashore,
I ask questions to the horizon.

I am the sea..
that softly kisses and embraces,
whatever is here nearby me.

I am the rock..
the sea cuddles me in her arms,
and time can not consumate me.

I am sea..
but the rock doesn’t fear me,
he believes to be immune to me.

I am rock..
the sea caresses me continuously,
it starts to give me pain.

I am the sea..
that slowly takes away with it,
also the most resistant rock.

I am sand..
the only fruit of a love,
between a rock and his sea.

raaj teri bas yahi aadat buri hai

milega kabhi sachcha dost mujhe,
ab to chodd chuka hoon us aas ko,
jis pe bhi kiya khud se jada bharosa,
ussi ne toda sada mere vishwas ko.

mera kasoor sirf itna hai ki,
maine sada dil se dosti nibhayi hai,
milti hai saza burayi ki kisi ko,
maine to shareef hone ki saza paayi hai.

kabhi dil kisi ka maine toda nahi,
phir dil mera kyun har baar toota hai?
kya koi nahi jis par vishwas kar sakoon?
kyun mujhe mere hi apno ne loota hai?

yahan sab ke chehron par nakab hai,
inki baaton mein meethi chhuri hai,
na kiya kar itni jaldi vishwas,
ki raaj, teri bas yahi aadat buri hai…

yahin kahin tum se mile the

yahin kahin tum se mile the,
yahin kahin tum ko kho diya,

in nagmon mein tum ko paya,
tannhai mein tum ko kho diya,

apne sawalon mein tum ko paya,
aur jawabon mein tum ko kho diya,

raat ke saaye mein tum ko paya,
aur ujaalon main tum ko kho diya,

lakhon nazaron mein tum ko paya,
do anshuon mein tum ko kho diya,

sadiyan bitayi teri talaash mein,
ek hi pal mein tum ko kho diya.
