Untitled

I reached out my hands into the pure white, accumulating light
Like in my memories from that day
So that I don't lose them
I send my feelings, entrusted to words, to you.

Illuminated by moonlight
Pieces of dreams dance in the night.
I even remember the warmth
From when you snuggled up to me while shivering.
Even if u lose sight of tomorrow
And ur heart is stolen away by the changing seasons.

I reached out my hands into the pure white, accumulating light
Like in my memories from that day
So that they don't break
I send my feelings, hidden in my heart, to you.

Untitled

Will you understand if i write it on paper?
Will it be visible if I turn it into words?
Everything Disappeared, but my body felt heavy.
I finally noticed the words that were lacking
Even though they wrap up everything now.
No matter how many times I call out your name
it'll never reach you,
but now I recall that your smiling face,
looking back at me was dazzling,
so i fixedly lowered my eyes
Even though I thought that
I wouldn't ever come to love
Someone else again
Because it was you, I relaxed
However, you're not around anymore.

A Little More

Ever since the day,
my senses I bore,
Life has always been,
A little more.

When dad told stories
from his folklore
I always wanted to hear
A little more.

When I used to play
and mom called to do the chore,
I would call out and say,
Just, a little more.

 
Then I grew up,
wanted to do so many things.
but I had to study,
always, a little more.

When results came out
and i looked at my score,
A thought came to mind,
if only, I had studied,
Just, a little more.

 
Then I fell in love,
with the most beautiful girl
The apple of my eye,
more precious than a pearl.
She always had to go early,
reach home by four,
And I would sigh,
wanting her to stay with me,
Just, a little more.
 

Had a dream to earn enough,
and live on the sea shore,
But then I got the paycheque,
always wanting,
a little more.
 

Thus I went through the years,
chasing my dream,
eluding me forevermore,
Always pushing myself by saying,
Just a little more.

And today Death is standing,
waiting at the door.
But I, I want to live,
just, a little more.

I didn't Know

I didn't know,
expensive things could be so cheap
I didn't know,
It's the unwanted things, that you want to keep

I didn't know,
What I say is not what I mean.
I didn't know,
I see the world with eyes unseen.

I didn't know,
I believe in luck ,when I don't believe in fate.
I didn't know,
I like,what I hate.

I didn't know,
My shallow emotions are so deep.
I didn't know,
I am awake, but still asleep.

रेत के महेल

सपने सजाते हैं लोग
दिल जाता है बहेल
बनाते हैं जाने क्यों लोग
रेत के महेल॥

हवा से बिखर सकता है
लहरों के आगोश में सिमट सकता है
फिर भी लोग बनाते हैं,
रेत के महेल॥

कुछ सींचते हैं मिटटी से, पत्थर से,
सपने उनके दूर तलक रहते हैं
नहीं कहलाते वो सिर्फ रेत के महेल॥

और कुछ युहीं छोड़ जाते हैं
सब बह जाता है
बचती है तो सिर्फ रेत,
नहीं बचते, वो रेत के महेल॥

Contemplations

I look at my life
and I think of the past
I look at my life
and wonder how long it'll last.

I look ahead at the road
and I see my journey end.
But I hope in my mind,
its just another bend.

I think of the time
when I will have my last breath
And leave this world behind
in the loving embrace of death.

I look at my life
to see what I am leaving
And yet in my heart
I am not grieving.

May be I want
to live a little more
But then I see,
I am already at the shore.

I look back to find
something worth living for
But then I find that
Dying is the day worth living for.
Dying is the day worth living for...

दिल धुन्ड़ता मेरा अब तुझे रात दिन
कटती नहीं ज़िन्दगी अब यूँ तेरे बिन॥

तलाश है तेरी, जाने कबसे मुझे।
जगती नहीं रातें और दिन भी बुझे बुझे
पर तू न मिली, सब पलछिन तेरे बिन॥

दिल धुन्ड़ता मेरा अब तुझे रात दिन
कटती नहीं ज़िन्दगी अब यूँ तेरे बिन॥

ख्वाबों में रोज़ आती हो, हकीक़त में भी आ ।
पर यूँ दूर रहकर अब मुझको न सता।
अब मिल भी जाओ, जग सुना तेरे बिन ॥

दिल धुन्ड़ता मेरा अब तुझे रात दिन
कटती नहीं ज़िन्दगी अब यूँ तेरे बिन॥
