The Last Rain!

वो  सिलसिला , तुम्हारे आने जाने का 

   थम गया था उस बारिश के बाद 

उस शाम जब छोड़कर गए थे तुम 

                                ये  मकाँ

हवा नम  थी , सबकुछ भारी सा था 

 शायद तुम्हारे क़दमों की आहट भी. 

तभी तो , गहरे निशां  पड़े थे  
       पैरों के,लॉन  की जमीन पर....... 
बारिश का मटमैला पानी जमा हो गया था उन गड्ढो में 
रिसता हुआ उतर गया है ....
रूह की घाटियों से लेकर आँखों के छितिज तक.

सब कुछ बर्बाद हुआ है इस तलक!

शर्ट की बायीं जेब में ,
 एक तस्वीर जो छुपा रखी थी...

     तुम्हारी नजरो से ,
बीते वक़्त के साथ उसमे सीलन लग चली है.

वो गड्ढे आज भी नजर आते हैं आँखों में 

सहेज रखा है तेरी यादों की तरह 

धुंधली! धब्बेदार! 

गोया चाँद हो मेरी रातों का....

मुद्दतें गुजरीं, 
ना तुम आये न बारिश 
पर नमीं गयी नहीं ,शायद!! , उन गड्ढों से 
और वो शाम जवां न हो पाई फिर 
इंतज़ार था उसे भी शायद किसी का...... 

 मेरी तरह !!

Saudade !

See a desert in my side 

And, all I behold is brown
Moon is brown and the Sky
Cause after You are gone

All that remained is...
The Sand and Foam!

Wave of life is missing

For the Sand, Sea is reaching

But I lie shattered in the Grey Oblivion
Too far from the Blue desert
Perhaps to save the Shadows....

And, The Sand and Foam.

All, I embraced was the  Love

Alas! I never Embraced Thee

Running for the Shadows,
Chained to the Horizons,

Crying for the Moon, Celestial Love

My Dreams stampede you in the turmoil
And in this hour of departure 
I long for The Sand and Foam.

                                                                        

YOU summon me in this dry hour

You raise yourself to me

Ah ! I do not know how I could contain You
In the earth of My soul, in the cross of my arms!
Or in the Desert of my fervent Dreams!

For, the Love is ever incomplete....

And you and me,
Like the incomplete breath of Unfinished kiss.
   Cause You come and go

And Toils are great, but in vain

Of the Sand to contain...

Without cease, I seize your Remains

But moments pass, and The Foam is gone...

   A stroke of wind blows The Sand away.

Who says Time is a healer ??  

Entangled on The Parting of worlds

But how do I meet Thee?

For Thou livest in Infinite depths.

Like the sand, I wander with the crazy wind

oh ignorant! my craving for the light
But the Sun is eclipsed and the vision skewed,

All that I see is a dark Horizon...

And everything sank,  in the Sand and Foam.

You rise from the lost horizon...

But I am the Lost discoverer!

Wounded and blinded soul,

In the black solitude of the Islands,

My Dreams in exile!

Oh deserted me! you are far

Farther than all,

You are the un-worshipped deity,

And I am the yet un-offered flower of your ruined temple.

In the Depths, On the Shore

We lie in deathless neglect!

Oh abandoned me! But I feel your Thirst 

With every coming tide..

You fill my frail vessel.

Like the emptiness of sand,

My Voyage of Longing.

But my love for foam, In you my longing fell

My Destiny! In you everything sank.

Who can fathom whose longing's more?

Off the sand of endless shore!

Or the foam of infinite Sea!

Thou have filled me with the greatest sea,

Such is Thy love for me.

I Know not, but I keep it in the shrines
Still,
Like the wait of (over) an Unborn Tear...

Life is an endless Saudade,

Of What ?? You ! Love !

Or The Sand and Foam !!! 

 

Gravity Always Wins !

 Sinking Down !

  Feeling the Might of Gravity

Just want to hit the Bottom

Bleed ! and transcend

To that exotic place

of  Darkness and Infinite Ignorance

But I see a Shadow cast

Over the deepest sacred shrines

And something within me

Has kept me in limbo !

For many journeys through Centuries

Who says ? Gravity always Wins !!

Perhaps ! at the Unforeseeable  End .....

Waiting For The Rain.........

 

                                               

I have seen the colors of your eyes
clear and bright as blue skies
Let no shadows ever cast

And let there be no rain ....

sometimes when trying to kill d pain
A  haze grows on them
and the whole world becomes grey
But
 let there be no rain ...

Even if the world  turns into a yellow terrain
 I will walk the desert  (in vain)

and may i die of thirst and pain

looking in your eyes
waiting for the rain

But Let there be no rain......

Seeing the hint of a rain
I crave for resurrection
but
let me drink it from far

Even
 all of me turns brown
let me die this time
For still, i can wander in your deep blue eyes
But I can't see a rain....

 let there be no rain .....
