Spaces of Time

I think about you
And make faces in the air
Are you alive
Or am dreaming a lot
May be one day
I will come out of the dream
But I don't want to
I wish it be to true
And we be
In the same spaces of time

Musings

I saw a dream
I wished it were true
And there came you
You're just a thought
Sometimes a shadow
Are you a face

I try to believe
That stories can have
A happily ever after
Reality is blurred
People often have
Just false hopes

I get confused
Between dreams and memories
Are both unreal
I kept a stone
If I see it closely
It thumps sometimes

कोरा कागज़

एक कोरे कागज़ का एकाकीपन 

बस वही चाहिये 

एक नयी नज़्म लिखने के लिये।

लिखना तो और भी बहुत है 

कुछ सपनें, कुछ अरमान,

कुछ चाहत, औ कुछ दुयाएँ,

पर कोरा कागज़ नहीं बचा। 

सबमें एक मिलावट आ गयी है,

खयालों में, औ सवालों में भी,

सब मिलावट के साथ ही

कागज़ पर बिखरे पड़े हैं। 

कुछ कागज़ों पर से निशाँ 

मिटा नहीं सकते हम 

और कोरा कागज़... वो कहीं नहीं है।  

I & You

When I am not with you 

I often dream of you 

And those dreams are such beauty

As perfect as a fairy tale.

I dream of two happy souls

Contently smiling.

Their hands are clutched

And shoulders leaned.

I dream of me sitting on your lap

My hands around your neck

And you reading to me

My favourite poetry.

I dream of moments

When we just know

That love suffice

And rest of the world fades.

I dream of those things

You say with your eyes

And then we look somewhere far

Silently savouring the moment.

I dream of times

When I see you after long

And hug you the tightest hug ever

And never let you go again.

I dream the days

When we travel the world

Measure every inch on this earth

Together.

I dream of starry nights

When we lie on the terrace

Talking endlessly

And loving.

.

.

.

And when I see YOU,

These beautiful dreams just shatter

Leaving me alone with

A grim Reality.
