अंधेरे में तो परछाईं भी साथ छोड़ देती है 
और हम लोगों से उम्मीद लगाए बैठे हैं

Andhere mein toh parchhai bhi saath chhod deti hai
Aur hum logon se umeed lagaye baithe hain

कोई ले जाए
डॉक्टर को दिखाए
जरा भी सुनता नहीं मेरी 
इस दिल के कान ख़राब है

तेरे बाद भी जो रहेगा पूरा 
बस ऐसा इश्क़ करने की गुस्ताख़ी की है मैंने

Bas aisa ishq karne ki gustakhi ki hai maine

जहाँ बिकते है रद्दी के भाव जज़्बात 
उसी बाज़ार से लाया था वो अपना दो टके का प्यार

Jahan bikte hai raddi ke bhav jazbaat
Usi bazaar se laya tha woh apna do takkay ka pyaar
02/06/2020
सामने से दागना गोली सीने में 
कि मौत मंज़ूर है धोखा नहीं

Samne se dagana goli seene mein
Ki maut manzoor hai dhokha nahi

Tell me when you're on the bed
On Friday night
You think of -
What all you would do to me
What all you would do with me
Because I think of only that

You and whiskey are made of the same things - a little intoxication and a lot of love.

I prefer Friday night meals on the bed, he said, the savoury taste of your mouth is where I'd like to start.

Unhooked, after unhooking her bra, he wrote dirty little stories on her bare back.
02/08/2020
He smells of musk, February, and lust.

Not a fan of loud noises, but in the dead silence of the night, the sound of her moans is music to my ears.

You hide your pain in the deepest recesses of your heart. It is also in there you find its cure.

आज कल का इश्क़ है या हरामीपन
फ़ोन पे कोई, दिल में कोई, और बिस्तर पे कोई और

Aaj kal ishq hai ya haramipan
Phone pe koi, dil mein koi, aur bistar pe koi aur

Vodka doesn’t understand me. I sob on the shoulders of Johnnie Walker.

Love is a condition in which the stupidity of one person looks magical to another.

Unwinged and helpless, misery bows at the feet of brave souls.

बहुत नादान है मेरे शहर के लोग 
इश्क़ को इबादत नहीं कहते है रोग

Bahut nadaan hai mere shehar ke log
Ishq ko ibadat nahi kehte hai rog

‪जब इंसान खुद का हो जाता है ‬
‪उसे तन्हाई में सबसे ज़्यादा मज़ा आता है ‬

Jab insaan khud ka ho jaata hai
Use tanhai mein sabse zyada maza aata hai

1000 कोस से वापिस आ जायेंगे आपके लिए 
बस 1 बार शिद्दत से बुला कर तो देखो

1000 kos se wapis aa jayenge aapke liye
Bas 1 baar shiddat se bula kar to dekho

वापिस ले आया डाकिया चिट्ठी मेरी 
बोला पता सही था पर लोग गलत

Wapis le aaya dakiya chitthi meri
Bola pata sahi tha par log galat

Being Human

Under the roof of winter, Latches of my door open without making a sound. It's cold out there, Someone lost his ground. My soul shivers, Not that I'm cold. Someone from my land, Sleeps under the bridge while dreaming of gold. How can I... tuck myself in the quilt? When the winter storm is blowing, Hopes they have built. I have to get up, Do something... Before I start questioning who am I? And, they start saying...'Humanity dies.' Let's work out something, Take a resolution. Walk across all kinds of bridges, And, just be human... From centuries people are migrating for work or for better opportunities. But, not everyone has a smooth sailing...some live under miserable conditions. Most heart wrenching fact is nobody helps them, not even people from their own countries. I know, everybody is busy chasing the bigger purpose of life. But don't you think we should help people in need? Let's try to be better human being...

I Am Not Alone

Last year blessed me, He walked silently into my life. It was Love, That took me in its stride. One evening we walked holding hands, Then, I told him what I felt in heart. He said we were one soul, Who were living in parts. To bring the parts together, We fought with the world and tied the knot. Being one soul, Gave life a whole new spot. Chirping birds, floating clouds, Nature conspired for us. Always swimming against the tide, Life was in an adrenaline rush. This year cursed me, He walked silently out of my life. It was Death, That took him in its stride.       Yesterday his soul was saying, Fearing memories will fade, he can’t move on. He will stay and admire me, Standing always by my side from dusk to dawn.

Rewind - September 2023

 I wrote the following in September. Sometimes, I feel I will forget the art of writing couplets because I am not writing at all this year. I strongly believe you have to practice to hone your craft. And I am not doing that. Perhaps I schedule a time to write a poem. Or I need better time management skills. Date Published 09/05/2023 मुझे उसके जाने का इतना अफ़सोस नहीं हुआ  जितना इस बात का कि इतने सालों तक उसे रहने ही क्यों दिया  Love, Saru
