Rewind - June 2020

Poof! Half of the year is gone. The world has changed. We all are learning to live with the new normal. And I am not writing as much as I should. I hope I write more in July purely because writing gives me sanity.

नशा कितना भी कर लूँ

ग़म उतरता ही नहीं 


Nasha kitna bhi kar loon

Gum utarata hi nahi

बिन बोले सब कह जाती हैं

आँखें लफ़्ज़ों की मोहताज नहीं होती

होपलेस है सजन हरजाई

मैं लाखों सा सवरी 

पर टिकटॉक पे 

नासपीटी कार की वीडियो लगाई


Hopeless hai sajan harjai

Main lakhon sa savri

Par TikTok pe

Naspiti car ki video lagai

कुछ ऐसे बदल गए है तेरे जाने के बाद

ग़ैरों से पूछते है खुद का पता


Kuch aise badal gaye hai tere jaane ke baad

Gairon se poochte hai khud ka pata

आज जुल्फें खोली होंगी उसने 

वरना हवाएँ यूँ महकती नहीं हैं


Aaj zulfein kholi hongi usne

Varna hawaayein yun mehakti nahi hain 


दो बोल प्यार के एक प्याली चाय के साथ 

तो बस फिर चीनी की क्या ज़रुरत

तेरी तस्वीर देख दिन कुछ ऐसे काटते है 

मानो आग अंदर लगी है पर पानी बाहर डालते है

Love killed hate with slow kisses.

छोटी-छोटी मुश्किलों में हौसला मत हारो

जूझते तो तूफ़ानों में बड़े-बड़े जहाज़ भी हैं

कौन मासूम रहता है यहाँ

ज़िंदगी थोड़ा बहुत हरामीपन सबको सीखा देती है 


Kaun masoom rehta hai yahan

Zindagi thoda bahut haraamipan sabko seekha deti hai

She is fire

She is hell

She is a fucking tsunami

And she is mine

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.

Wailing Woes

On her frail shoulders, the threads of Pashmina talk. Of a valley, of heaven, of a moonlit night. Demure, she froze amidst the discordant noise, Charred bodies around her, her flesh and blood died. On moonlit nights, hence she walks barefoot on the snow, Suffering within and out, I can listen, what her silence speaks out loud. Deranged, Demented, She drags her body around, Unaware, Listless, what she has lost can never be found. I call her, whenever she passes by me, I have been piling up sorrows as debris. Come! My child Let me hear your pain, Let me soothe your wounds, Let me jostle your soul, So you shed a tear. I know your pain, I have done all this myself, And I have been there. This poem narrates the sufferings of women who lost their families in Kashmir Valley. *Disclaimer - Title is inspired by  Sonnet 30  of Shakespeare.
