I wrote...

I wrote…
I wrote…
and I wrote some more…..

I wrote my feelings,
wrote my dreams,
wrote my senses,
wrote all my screams,
I kept on writing forever it seems.

I wrote my body,
wrote my skin,
wrote my desires,
wrote all my sins,
I kept on writing the song I sing.

I wrote my questions,
wrote my doubts,
wrote my worries,
wrote all my bouts,
I kept on writing my gut out.

and then,
I wrote…
I wrote….
and I wrote some more.

..........

i wrote some more
to feel the roar
out of the pen's core

i still wrote more
hoping my heart will question no more
couldn't help that cause but my fingers sore

I then realized
the more I seek for more
will trouble me the more

so i left it for a cause
pain is best eased when I pause
but my love for pain grew to shore
that I again wrote some more !!


my work was incomplete... I intended it to be.... may be because after a point i was unable to connect the dots together. Then came along this marvelous and humble guy, who i shud mention doesn't kno "how to write poetry". Such a 'Cliché' for a guy with his talents and potential. He simply connected my random thoughts with perfect sense. Depesh, I don't have words to thank you so i will not even attempt. This is my tribute to you. Its an Honor to have your words on my insignificant rambeling space.

kabhi kabhi.... yoon sufi sa mein!

Kabhi kabhi yeah kyon lagta hai?
Ki mein sufi ho jaoon.
Dhoondhoon kaheen par khudaa ko apney,
Ramtaa sa basanti jogi ho jaoon.
Yeah parbat mere, waadi sab meri,
Inmein kaheen mein kho jaoon.
Behtaa rahoon saath uss rooh ke,
Aawaara sa baadal ho jaoon.
Bandhan rokein, dantein aur tokein,
Kaisey inko samjhaoon?
Zaat nahee koi bandhegi mujhpar,
Chaoon bas khud dhaaga ho jaoon.
Rahey na mera mujhmein kuchbhi,
Mein khaali ho jaoon.
Rachtaa, rakhtaa har zarrey mein basta,
Kuch dhokey sa ho jaoon.
Dhoya hai khud ko khudee par kab se,
Chaoon bas aab halkaa ho jaoon.
Kabhi kabhi bas yoon lagta hai,
Ki mein sufi ho jaoon.

Ek Banjaaran

Naram saundee se kuch hawaoo mein,
Barish ki boondon ko amber se utartey dekha,
Usi barish mein sadak kinarey bastee,
Ek banjaran ko ujadtey, kuch ukhadtey dekha.

Uskey haathon se janmee murat ke rangon ko,
Baarsih ke pheekey panee ko rangeen sa kartey dekha,
Aanchal ki silvaton mein liptey uskey bacchey ka chehra,
Kuch aansuon se kuch paani ki boondon se bheegtey dekha,

Dekha usko aapna pallu hatatey,
Baarish se bhidtee us akeli rani jaansee ko dekha,
Dekha meiney uska ghar bikhartey aur phir simattey,
Uskey cherey ko hotey patthar sa meinn dekha,

Plastic ke lifaphey mein usko kuch lapettey dekha,
Uski mamta ko har chin meiney badtey sa dekha,
Baarish se hotee uskee ladaii ko meiny dekha,
Khud ko hotey bebas laachaar sa meiney dekha,

Aansoo nahee they uske aankhon mein kaheen bhi,
Uski khudaaree ko meiny chattan sa sakth dekha,
Sar jhukaa uss maa, uss jananee ke aagey,
Uski parchaaee mein kaheen bastey sacchey khuda ko dekha.

A complete 'Zero'

Past few days I have been stuck up with the number zero. Have been thinking about the importance of this number. Placed right between the positive and negative numerals it symbolises neutrality all by itself, both ends lying on either side. Its like the number knows the art of balancing and yet shifting to create meanings for the positive’s or negatives. Symbolised by a circle, ‘zero’ signifies Balance, stability and symmetry, a beginning of a never ending journey around a locus. ‘Zero’ is complete in it self. Put a negative sign or a positive sign in front. The end result zero again. The more the number of zero’s behind a number the more becomes the value of that number itself. Imagine a life without zeros. Can you?

Yet we entitle a person who’s failed with being a ‘ZERO’. WHY?

To, wish!

An evening split into pieces,
An hour at a time to belong,
Belonging to one then to the other,
A deep void inside for belonging to the self.

Carrying yet dragging,
To the shores of uncertain future,
A gift for my imaginary humanity,
My blood, my flesh, my soul.

My perpetual dreams,
Amalgamating with my desires,
A brilliant ray of gold across the skyline,
Like a brushstroke made in haste.

To the wishes I burry today,
And for all those I have buried already,
I shall awake to your wishes too some day,
Oh! My wish, tell me what you wish for.

jeena udhaar

Katee chatee si koi aahat,
Udhaar mili thodee raahat,
Hooton pe padee muskuraahat,
Ek admaree si chaahat.

Naram garam se kuch alfaaz,
Pehney akalmandee ka libbas,
Kamptee si ungaliyon mein,
Kuch shaayraana andaaz.

Taraashey huye kaagazon pey,
Tapaktey se kinhee kono sey,
Zindagee sa kuch kartey bayaan,
Hotey sey yeah kuch meharbaan.

Baandhey zindage potalee si,
Kuch ehsaason ki oodhanee si,
Kuch gaanthein lee utaar,
Jeeney ka bhi chukaa deingey udhaar.

Witness the storm chasers

Chasing storm's he said "it feels like being alive, when you are in so much of danger".
Walking on a volcano alive, he said "life's an adventure, live it."
Looking into a deep stormy night he romanced with the violent winds "Its going to be very very noisy and very very violent" he flirted knowingly
"AWESOME!!!!" is what he said and walked right into it.




P.S - this was one of the discovery channel brilliance i was able to witness. Obviously being high (not 'high on life kinds' but the alcoholic sorts) makes me extra sensitive to such words. The only disappointment was that i caught this episode few minutes before it was about to finish. I am sure i would catch up with this series to see 'the man' again.

mujhee ko mujhko lautaa jaoo

Rooko na mujhey,
Paagal hoon mein,
Bhar raha hai kuch zakhm,
Shaayad ghaayal hoon mein,
Usee jaat ki tooti si pattee mein liptaa,
Sang hawaaon ke udtaa hoon mein.

Katee katee si kuch batein,
Kyon abb bhi chubh rahee hain mujhey?
Tumharey tootey chasmein ko dekha kal phir,
Wheen rakhaa hai jahaan padaa hoon mein.
Kahaa tha dhoond logi agar gum gaya kaheen toh,
Kahaan hoo aab? Dhoondo mujhko, gum gaya hoon mein.

Aao ley jaoo wahee sab saamaan jo tumhara hai,
Wohi toota chasma, wohi adoori tasveer,
Wohi khat jo bataney ko kuch likha tha mujhko,
Wohi tasveer tumhari, wohi tumhari yaad,
Ley jaao who sabkuch sood sameet waapas,
Bas mujhee ko mujhko lautaa jaoo.
