THE FEAST DAY

Shadow sprinkles

Pushing the gaze

Towards the ladder

Sipping steps down

At the Loyola Hall

A bent silhouette

Entered hall inside 

In all reverence.

All thoughts vanished

In spectator's gathering

What words spoke

Was already spoken

Roamed, inside eyes

Silence dried

In beckoning of his

The limp of leg

Occurred in an

Uneven call

Camera was the

Only witness, in

All its click!

Alas! The feast day.

INSTILL FAITH

Why you sit
Couched with pain
Eternal gain approaches

Every cracked surface
Will sprout flower-joy
In your ruined walls

Attuned thyself
Pervading all
Light with delight

LEAF FALLEN

Lovingly lifted 
A fallen tree leaf
On my palm,
Nothing remained 
Of my thoughts
To patch my words.
All gurgled away!
Pain sizzled 
Through the
Tree frame
Was that ME
Wriggling in PAIN!

MAGNIFY THY SIGHT

Magnify thy sight
O, lovely eyes,
You colonized
Every bit of
Unfathomable space.
Every blink
Twinkles in smile,
Every touch
Waft in delight.
You are the
Diamond of son, and
The daughter of lullaby
You are the Father, in
Aged sight
The Mother, in
A drop of tear.

Magnify thy sight
O, lovely eyes!

एक पल

इसी जिद्ड़ो जहद मे 
रफ़्ता रफ़्ता 
गुजर जाते हैं
ये दिन और रात 

ना जाने 
एक सहमी सी 
आवाज़ वहाँ 
देता है, कौन 

बिताए पल 
की बेवफ़ाई 
लब पर चोट 
करती है 

कौन यहाँ 
जिता है 
मरने तलक 

मौत की खुसबु 
हर घर से 
मसाले रौशन 
नज़र आती है 

आस फिर, दोबारा 
लौटती नहीं 
लमहों के 
इस खेल में 

ख़ाक-ए-बुत के 
गुजर जाने के बाद 
हवाओं के झोंकों से 
मेरा पता पूछते हो!

SOMETHING FROM NOTHING

YOU regulate me
In an unfathomable womb,
I will centrifuge
From thy pull
To my freedom, someday!

Will transcend
Boundary of silence,
Orb the void
In many hues
Holding time rein

Will peep a hole
In sturdy look
At creation, from
Beyond the Big Bang

Resonated thus,
To thee, will I ask :
Is this SOMETHING
Which thee,
Created from NOTHING!

AMEN

Flowers bloom
Light of dawn
Demystifying mystery

Joy sprinkles
Smile benevolent
Distancing gloom

Every particle
Hop and pop
In thy sway

Sweet fragrance
Breath thy essence
Enamour every soul

Whistling their hearts out
They chorused a noisy amen!
