Beyond the holding hands on escalators,
Eating pani puri,
And putting into each other's mouth,
Letting her head on my shoulder
In the park,

I would watch your eyes
And dive into them
To reach her soul
And listen to its beating
For me.

Reading
The newspaper

Adds to mind

Reading
Poetry

Adds to soul

I couldn't cure the leaf
That crept to my

Exhausted feet

While strolling
Down the woods in autumn

Earlier
When they were spirited

I couldn't help any

For I cannot fly
Like the grasshopper

How shocking to people
I'm still sailing
Despite the storm
In my life
And their contribution
To the rising ripples
Befooled them

We have no solutions

Because

The majority has opinions

And do nothing

Asking someone
How it looks

Is the loss of its beauty

Surviving in a war-inflicted region
Is like walking on the edge of a thin wall.
You have no roof and no ground,
Still you have to walk to avoid any sudden fall.

Like photography,

Friendship needs your favour.

If you have a well developed mind

You can catch any beautiful scene

In one go.

Life is short
But not too short
That we cannot spend some time
On making it beautiful

When
You regret and repent of your sin
It's the moment
When you
Retain your lost dignity
