एक हादसा..!!

                                      कल रात छत पर
                                      फलक की जानिब
                                      टकटकी बाँधे
                                      सियाह चादरों तले
                                      सितारों का खेल देखा
                                      कुछ मद्धिम कुछ उजले
                                      कुछ सर उठाए कुछ कुचले
                                      सब अपनी रोशनी में
                                      छुपे अंधेरों पर
                                      रोते-बिलखते से दिखे
                                      जब शायर ने
                                      किसी नाज़नीं के निगाहों
                                      को सितारा लिखा था
                                      सारे कैसे एक साथ
                                      मुस्कुराए थे,
                                      तभी अचानक
                                      एक हादसा हुआ
                                      हाँ, हादसा ही तो था
                                      धू-धू कर मेरे अरमान जले थे
                                      ख्वाबोँ का बेरहम क़त्ल हुआ था
                                      चाँद पर भी शायद खून सवार था
                                      तभी एक सितारा दूर कहीं
                                      मेरे नाम का टूटा था
                                     और
                                     सभी ने सोचा
                                     कोई दुआ क़ुबूल हुई ।

On the NIGHT of full MOON..

                                                On the night of full moon
                                                It's worth reminiscing something
                                                and reliving that moment
                                                when
                                                We were strolling together
                                                just for no reason
                                                You did have that gait and charm
                                                and I didn't have any choice but
                                                going on and on
                                                On the night of full moon
                                                all I had, was
                                                a crooning heart and a grooving soul
                                                at the very same time
                                                The feeling was sinking in
                                                was like almost divine
                                                So I named this journey
                                                truly solemn and sublime
                                                On the night of full moon
                                                I learned how to let your eyes talk
                                                how did even moon wade into
                                                that walk
                                                how an ocean absorbs a shock
                                                and how you said it all
                                                merely in mock
                                                On the night of full moon
                                                 this journey got fizzled out
                                                 the moon also started getting dim out
                                                 I am the one who is still so devout
                                                 in the end

                                                 this illusory night of full moon

                                                 was all about..

every NIGHT when...

                                         Every night when
                                         I try to close my eyes
                                         someone takes me away
                                         in a wonderland kind of
                                         Where everyone has
                                         a different identity
                                         like I have never ever seen before
                                         People were together
                                         not for any worldly desire
                                         but they were completing each other
                                         the sun was shining there
                                         but with a strange grace
                                         winds were blowing there
                                         but with a loving rhythm
                                         birds were chirping there
                                         but with a amazing exuberance
                                         rivers were flowing there
                                         but with a hope to be lost
                                         in the ocean of love
                                         There were
                                         No grudges
                                         No grievances
                                         No jealousy 
                                         No cut throat competition
                                         All it was around
                                         was the LOVE
                                         the sacred LOVE
                                         the unconditional LOVE
                                         without any manipulated definitions
                                         without any self made limitations
                                         Every night
                                         when I try to close my eyes
                                         It does happen to me
                                         and every night
                                         I wish that
                                         the night never comes to an end
                                         because beyond this dream world
                                         everything is a delusion for me
                                         No one has even a moment
                                         to share it with me
                                         It saddens me all the time
                                         But sun has to arise
                                         I have to awake
                                         a brand new morning awaits for me
                                         with some promising hopes
                                         and momentary pleasures
                                         don't know why
                                         but I am indifferent to all
                                         and I know it has to go on
                                         perhaps its called reality
                                         but I love that tiny space of mine
                                         with no boundaries
                                         where someone awaits for me
                                         Every night when
                                         try to close my eyes..!!!
                                         Every night when...
