On Parting


Parting is sweet
It guarantees you meet
All over again

And there is an "again"
And a "nothing to rhyme"
And a "till another time"

There is a greet
And a rising heartbeat
Sitting at its feet

There is more to say
On a brand new day
Something of a "hold sway"

There is always a song
And a favourite line
And that which could be
A "be mine"

Then there's the unfolding
Of the old and moulding
After much withholding

There is some charm-ing
And some more disarming
Till it gets alarming
And the doors lock down

So that after lackluster
Right beyond mundane
Just another "same old" away
There is another parting
Starting
To guarantee you meet
All over again

To Mother, With Love


Its been a while since you and me
Its been a while since being free
From here inside me I can see
That I am you and you are me

The more I know me, the closer you are
Near or far, doors shut or ajar
Forever may seem like a bit too far
So the more I know me, the closer you are

At the expense of sanity
I proceed infinitely
To where I am you and you are me
To where the world's a mockery

And the more I know me, the closer you are
Bright, dark, however bizzare
Forever may seem like a bit too far
But the more I know me, the closer you are..

Baatuni Lamha

Aaj ek lamha mila
Bhag daud mein se
Poochha tu kaun hai
Har ek aur mein se

Teri awaaz kaunsi hai
Saare shor mein se
Koi chaah nikli hai
Dil-e-kamzor mein se?

Koi jawaab na aaya
Fikr-o-ghaur mein se

Shayad meri hasti
Har ek aur si hi hai
Shayad meri awaaz
Ab ek shor si hi hai
Par lamhe ki taqdeer bhi toh
Bhag daud ki hi hai

Aaj ek lamha mila
Bhag daud mein se......
