GIRLS LIKE YOU ALL

I want to marry a woman who is smarter;

More than me.

I want to marry a woman who is ambitious;

More than me.

I want to marry a woman who is funnier;

More than me.

I want to marry a woman who is selfless;

More than me.

I want to marry a woman who is better;

in every possible aspect of life,

More than me.

Is it too much to ask? 

I was brought up in a house where the culture is such.  

Yes, my father used to think;

my mother doesn’t know about the tech stuff much. 

But it was she who learnt to make a video call first. 

Coz she had that thirst. 

To learn and not lag behind. 

Just in case she has to be bread earner of the house. 

And play the roles other than a spouse. 

Yet, she is afraid of the mouse. 

But reassures us whenever a doubt may arouse. 

So I leave you all with this question to think

Do you want this? 

Because I would marry someone like this in a blink.

माँ

वो जो दूर खड़ी आँखों में आंसू लिए मुस्कुरा रही है। 

उसे बस इस बात की तस्साली है की मैं खुश हूँ। 

उसने अपनी सारी उम्र मेरी ख़ुशी में खुश होके निकाल दिया।   

वो जो दूर खड़ी आँखों में आंसू और होटों पे मुस्कान लिए दुआएं दे रही हैं। 

उसे बस इस बात की तस्सली है की उसकी दुआयें काम कर गयी।  

उसने अपनी सारी उम्र मुझे दुआयें देने में ही निकाल दी। 

वो जो दूर खड़ी आँखों में आंसूं और होटों पे मुस्कान लिए झोला पकड़ के खड़ी है। 

तुम जाके देख लो उसे आज भी तो एक ठन्डे पानी की बोतल और एक बिस्किट का पैकेट मिलेगा।  

उसने अपनी सारी उम्र इस झोले को भरने में ही निकाल दी है। 

अब तुम ही बताओ कोई कैसे मुँह मोड़ सकता है। 

कोई कैसे इन आशाओं को तोड़ सकता है। 

कोई कैसे इतना कठोर हो सकता है की मूड के भी न देखें।  

कोई चिड़िया कैसे उसके आँगन में न चेहके। 

क्या हुआ गर इसने कोई ज़िद पूरी नहीं की तुम्हारी। 

क्या हुआ गर मारा तुम्हे इसने तुम्हारी भलाई क लिए। 

क्या हुआ गर दूर कर दिया खुदसे तुम्हारे सपनो को पंख देने के लिए। 

तुम समझते हो की इसने वो साल बहुत ख़ुशी में जिए है 

तो तुम गलत हो। 

मेरी मनो तो अब भी समय है पलट लो। 

के कही कल देर न हो जाये। 

यह इंसान तुमसे कही दूर हो जाये।  

और तुम हाथ मलते रहना और अपनी किस्मत को कोसते हुए कहना। 

के एक बार तो अपने गले से लगा जा। 

इन आंसुओं को रोकने का तरीका बता जा 

तू एक बार। 

बस एक बार माँ मुझे चुप करने के लिए आजा।  

THE BRUSH

The brush mixed 

with the colours,

and started running; 

with my stroke.

I was taking some time where,

I was trying to explain my goals;

to the brush.

It takes time,

to draw the track but 

as the brush was losing the colour 

the track was getting invisible, 

It is then the canvas shout and

The brush was thud 

to which it jumps in the colours.

As the tape of the track was getting close, 

This time colours were getting finish,

It looked as if they are done

the brush started to jump 

as fast as possible and 

as the same is important 

the brush started 

making the track full with puddles

And in the last stroke 

The track tape saw visible 

but as I was watching my location 

the track was full of invisible huddles. 

Now I don't know should 

I held my head high on the brush 

or just break it down.

The Three Words

Sand may be washed by sea

It was minor misinterpretation.

No one knew it could ignite

a new,

yet beautiful relation,

Between you and me.

You stormed in like a breeze

and settled in my conscious with ease.

I would urge you

to stay longer, please.

Your voice is refreshing

and full of life

I wish for you nothing

but happiness and joy in rife.

I would never want to see

a drop of tear in your eyes.

I will never tell you any lies.

Whatever I have told you

is cent percent true.

I was holding back for long

The three words

On the tip of my tongue

Was not to be spoken

or sung

or whispered

to anyone

till I scream

on the top of my lung

and say that I love you.
