Tere husn ki khushboo
Ne Kiya mujhe fanaa
Are yeh ishq hai
Beparwaah
Tere libaas nahin
Tera **** aankhein
Hee Hain Tere
Dhakne
Ki wajah
Teri rooh hi hai
Meri pannah
Are mohabbat
Aaja mere
Karib
Toohi hai
Meri ishq
Ham Hain
Ishqzaade

O I know you,know you,know you....
O the one from another land
O you live across the river
O the one from another land!
O I have seen you in a dawn of autumn
O I have seen you in the fragrant flowery honey night!
O I have seen you in the midst of the heart
O the one from another land!
O laying my ears on the sky,I've heard,heard your song
O I have given the soul to you
O the one from another land!
O having gone round the world,at last
O have I arrived at a new land
O I am the guest at your door
O the one from another land!

O on this red soiled path!
The drum beats
The bamboo flute
Plays
O my mind doesn't
Stay in doing work
O stay cannot I in my
Home
O the soul becomes
Sad!
O to the beats
Of the drummer
My heart and mind do sway!
Each part of my body sways,O
Each part sways!
O spring touches
The woods
Of saal and piyal
Trees
In the new flowers of
Khopai,O
In the new flowers!
O in the forests
Of mahua trees
The laughter
Of the mad moon
Falls down,O
O my eyes like whom
Will I see
Her at the
Turn of this path,O
O in her flying hairs
I would give her
The bulb hibiscus
Flower,O
O taking the blossoms
Of her necklace
She wouldwear
Flower rings
Her ears would sway,O
Her ears would sway
O to the gesturing beats
Of her dance
Someone would say
I love,I love ,O
I love.....O!

A cactus asked a rajanigandha
Both were together
In one of those
Floral shows
O people say
You are so beautiful
How do you maintain it?
The bragging rajani replied
O my tale is
No less than a rich
Young maiden's
She applies make up
I put on fragrance
I have pristine white buds
Planted with care I was
O I deserve to be
Called the queen
You grow
In the sandy places
Under great heat
You are green
Only in your stems
Otherwise
What show do you have
????????
The cactus had a flair
Started
O I may not have
Your beauty,O rajani
But I do have flowers
Colorful
They grow
Amongst perks
You don't
Don't forget
O dear
We all come
From the same
Gifts
Of harmony
Of this earth
Beautiful creations
Do have
An unseen
Foundation stone
Hidden indeed!

O in the garden of my youth
A bird sings aloud
O darling,arise,arise.....arise!
Opening your eyes
Filled with the
Sleepiness of
Good love
O the love that
Becomes your sole guide!
O darling ,awake,o awake
O today
In this night
So playful!
Awake in the
Sweet songs
Which herald
The maniac beauty
Of phalguna(spring month)
O in that
Song ,that
Lovely strain
Of first love
O you
The doubter
Of the first flush
Of love
O in my garden
The sweet cuckoos
Call out
O darling awake,o awake!
Awake in a
New glory!
O in the fragrance
Of new bakula flowers
O in the germination
Of the seed
Of the sweet
Soothing wind!
O in unseen
Secrecy!

O today in the
Overflowing floral
Decor
Awake in sweet
Shivering shyness

O in the bed of my heart
In my sleep
O listen
The sweet flute
Plays
In the depths
Of my heart
Of my inner
Soul
O darling,awake,o awake!

O Ganga!
You flow
Across the mighty
Mountains
O your youthful
Playful force
Making its way
Through the
Ancient boulders
Stream after stream
Joins you
To find its destiny
Happily
In your depths
To make you
O the vast Ganga we know
The Aryans found their
Abode on your banks
You saw the rise of Jainism
And Buddhism
O civilization
Not only flourished
But flowered
On your banks!
You've seen it all!
You travel down the Tehri dam
Across Rishikesh
And Haridwar
From the cow's mouth
O the Gomukh
Where your mother
Glacier Gangotri rests!
You enter the plains
Having crisscrossed
Roads many
And lives
Of many a being
Who consider you
As mother
Worship you
You bear their brunt also
Carrying heaps of
Garbage
You flow Kanpur
You see tanneries
And many more
You nourish them
Keep them running
But they end up
Slowing your run
You reach Allahabad
What's in a name
A tryst of cultures
O you have the
Gangs Jamuni doab
And Gangs jamuni tehzeeb!
Your sisters join you
And here at Prayag
You have Yamuna with you
O a mythical sister
Saraswati does find here way to you
They say
Life goes on on your ghats
As usual
People washing clothes
Themselves
And people offering
Flowers and performing
Rituals on your banks
O all but consider you
As an earthly mother
A heavenly gift
Just like Saraswati
You have your place in the scriptures as well!
You also
Flow out of mythology
Into our minds
O the mighty Shiva
Took you
In his mighty curls
Of hair
To allay your spirit
As you descended
Onto the Earth
To purge peoples
Lives
The Bhagiratha's
Penance you saw then
He got back his wish
Thousand brothers
They say
O you but still see
The Kumbh Mela(fair)

So many souls
You see the serenity
Of Varanasi
The beautiful spirituality
Of its
Ghats
O young wrestlers
Massaging before
The day's fight
Alongside
Seers in
Deep meditation
On your banks
O you have settled
This city
You flow across
Patna
The ancient
Pataliputra
Seen many imperial
Rise and falls
History echoes in you
You enter Bengal
The fertile
Gangetic plains
Bear testimony
To your gifts
With their lush green
And swaying fields
The Farakka barrage
Sees you in one of your
Giant avatars
You irrigate
And touch people!
You flow as the Padma in
Bangladesh
O you know
Two lands separated
By political shadows
You flow
As Bhagirathi
Hooghly
In Bengal
The rice bowl!
O your Ilish(Hilda)
People do relish
You flow graciously
Through
Flat extensive plains
Past Kolkata
The city of joy
And into the sea
At Gangasagar
Taking with you
So many memories
And promising
The continuity
Of your divine
Grace
O dear river,
You are Ganga!

O my Veena(lute) arises
Playing which tune?
In which new
Playful verse
O my heart vibrates
Today
In the beats
Of the
All encompassing
O come which youth
So devoid of calm

Flying across the vastness
Of the enchanted area
Of the region
O in the dance of light
The ends of the forests
Are joyous
In playful glee!
O in the premises
Of the sky!
O the mighty cymbals
Echo!
O in that flow of beats
Unheard
O applause
In the abundance
Of leaves!

O in the touch
Of house feet
Hope in the
Strands of grass
O the overflowing
Language!
O the wind
Without any boundaries
Is so pepped
In which fragrance
Of the forest!

Fingerprints of two
Don't match
O no one has the
Same genes
O quizzing
Is in his blood line
Not mine
Feeling bizarre?
O in this world
You find many similar ones
If not equal
Just like similar triangles
Not all of them
Are congruent
Similarity is in
Abundance
Let us all come together
To make this world
A better place
Every cloud has a silver lining,
You know
But every person also does
Let's combine
All of these precious things
The best of each one of us
To create a perfect
Harmonic equation
O if you can't find them
You are probably
Veiled disillusioned
But try at least
At least
We won't need
The Kalinga war
To change you
From chandasoka
To dhammasoka
O let all the bherighosa(sound of war drums)
Become dhammaghosa(sound of peace)
O peace has a sound?
Yes ,it does
Telling us
O you are the beloved of the gods
Devanampiya Piyadassi!

Loved have I you more than me
If you get it,o get it priya
My world has separated me
If you see,o see priya!
On every road
Every crossing
Your memories
Stop me
Everywhere
Is your touch
Loved have I you more than me
If you get it,o get it priya

I was alone a lonely bird
You extended your hand
Called and brought me
O you taught me
Such giving
O howsoever I try
Can't forget you,can't ,O priya!

O my mind is today
So unstable
Without you
Am I empty
O in my chest
Smoke unknown
Fills up!
Loved have I you more than me
If you get it,o get it priya
O the path doesn't end
The feet move on
I feel really
I have lost
The address
O the night doesn't end
Dreams don't come
O I doesn't know
How many moons
Of tears
O yesterday
Was my love
Today it
Feels so far
O the touch
Of memories
Unending !
Loved have I you more than me
If you get it,o get it priya!

Sunflowers bloom
They shine
Like faces
After a honeymoon!
O the shine
Moon gets
From his Sun
So does it
Blooms when the
Sun rises
Faces away when it sets
Doesn't ask for anything
From the Sun
Except for sunshine
Is it that
The sunflower calls
O dear Sun
Rise,awake
I need to rise
And when the Sun sets,
She says
O bye,dear
I need to bear
Another night
Of facing away
O the moonlight
Does not suit me
He is like me
He gets his glow
From you
You are,so
His cause as you're mine
So why should I leave you
And set a saga with him
He waxes and wanes
And is very'light'
Unlike you
Vigorous and radiant
Why shouldn't I be you?
What would the Sun reply
Does he shy
Does he act Herculistic
What do you say
Do you find someone
In this scene?

O that man
What he hath
Isn't it more than anything
That attracts my eyes,just
O dear?
Men don't have curves
They say
They cannot be beautiful
They have to be handsome
O so gendered is our tongue
So complex
OK so
He has a beard
Not a grizzly bear
But a beautiful
French cut
I revert to nationalities
You hear!
His cheeks seem to be soft
As sponge
O cake
I remember
His hair
Not bundled up
Neither not in place
Is perfect
Combed properly
O his eyes do the talking
They are so near
Verdant black iris
To people's hearts
O but he's forgotten
Some bit of
Hair
At the back of his neck
Small strands
Of masculinity!
You'd say
Not properly shaved
I say fine
O dear
His enigma bears
A thankfulness
To these ones
I swear
His face clean
After a morning shower
He looks handsome
Or beautiful!
O not only ladies
But li'l ones are
'Attracted' towards him
O one of them
Holds a piece of fur
And gently touches his chin with it
He feels roused
And greets with a smile
Not goosebumps though!
Simple joys!
O you think where I get
These weird words
O they were
In a newspaper advertisement
Glorifying
If not deifying
That page
OK enough
But I think
In such images
Apparitions echo
Telling us
Something to learn

O Kali
You hold the world
In the fleeing fleeces
Of your infinite
Black hair
You hold the the power
Of control
On this world
For your
Tongue
Protruding in glory
Points to the annihilated
Darkness of the world
You stand dramatically
One foot ahead
On your spouse
O he is no less
The mighty Shiva
As her and his eyes alike
Meet each other
Non contact forces
Working light years away
Hail you and him
O the Satan's head
Lies chopped
In your lotus palms
Yet they hold controlling it
With such a charm
Your glorious eyes
Glazing with the Kohl
The adsorbed sorrow
And dearth of your
Devotees' lives
You bless them
With your lotus palms
Which points but
Downwards
Oh this world but
Is bound by gravity
Oh that Satan's blood
Also falls
Under gravity
Signifying continuity
Of ones like him
Being born
And you
Annihilating them
Again and again
O Devi
Your rawness
Is so charismatic
You shelter your
Devotees'
Under the drapes
Of your clothes
The sword in your hand
Dispelling all evil
Let you guard and nourish as all
Forevermore
O Kali!

In the skies
Winds blowing
In the winds
Letters.....
O I am writing
On those letters
Only
Hey I wanna love you, love you
Hey I wanna love you, love you.
Just for once
O you, come
And say
You are my friend or not...
Hey I wanna love you, love you
Hey I wanna love you, love you
O in my heart
Do I love you so much
But I cannot tell you
O if you refuse
My heart will be shattered
O this chest wouldn't bear...
In the chest,the heart
In the heart resides the love
O I have fallen in love!
Hey I wanna love you love you
Hey I wanna love you love you
O sometimes I think
If I don't tell you
Someone else will
O golden girl, someone else
Would take her away
From my eyes
In these eyes, there is sleep
In sleep, dreams...
Hey I wanna love you love you
Hey I wanna love you love you...

O was there a lady
Her flight being late
Was she sitting steady
Cozy was it in that corner
Of the airport
Did she think of a sudden
Who would it be if something I bought
Not much
Hunted for a book
In the airport shops
A bag of cookies
In the props she bought
Now comfortable
She did sit
Down on a lounge
Looked at the airport clock
And started reading
Engrossed she was
Reading the book
As the minutes ticked by
Munching on the cookies
She bid a bye
To this world
Around her so mundane
Oh but not for long
What happened?
Oh a young man
Sitting beside her
On the next chair
Bold he was
Propped his hand
Into the bag
In between
And took hold
Of a 'mighty' cookie
She noticed it
But kept mum
To avoid a scene
At the aerodrome
As she read
And the minutes ticked by
In the clock
This gutsy thief
Diminished the stock
She couldn't bear it any more
For each cookie she took
He also took one for sure
Now was the time for the last one
Patiently was she waiting
To watch
The man took it
And broke it into half
And offered the half to
Her
And the other half he took
As the time came
She had accepted the half
And she reached
For her luggage
And surprise!
In front of her eyes
Were her bag of cookies
She realized
It was not him
But her
Who munched
On his packet
Nor hers
After all
He was a young man
Trying to share!:-) :-) :-) :-)

I have to but give everything
That I do know
All my wealth ,O God, all my words!
Through my eyes what ever
I've seen
Whatever has been heard
Through these ears
The diligent service of my hands
Everything else of mine
I have to but give everything!
O my mornings,my evenings
On the leaf of my heart
From anonymity
Holding your hand
Will I blossom
O now my lute(veena) is being
Stringed and tuned
O when it will play
It will
Be tuned to your tunes!
I have to but give everything!
Your joy fills
My pleasures and sorrows
O taking me do you
Make them surely your's!
Whatever mine have I got
By my powers
In the auspicious moments!
O when I will make them yours
Will they be mine!
I have to but give everything!

O that day
When both of us
Had swung
On that swing
Entangled with
Garlands of flowers
O those memories
Sometimes
In some moments
Are relived in my mind
O don't forget!
O that day in the air was there
O my mind's confession
Mixed perfectly!
O in the skies
Was scattered
The comparison
Of your smiles!
While going
On the path
In the night
Of the full moon
The moon had risen
In the skies
O I had met you
You had me
Who knows
In which great moment?
No more is it
My time
Will I so

Bear the load of longing
Solely!
O the rakhi(string of affection around the wrist)
Which I had tied
In the depths of your soul
Don't open it
Oh no,no no.....

O my night goes away
Writing about her
All the thoughts that flow through me
Find their way to her
Oh the white clouds of
Beautiful morning
Radiant in the sun rays
Thou reach her
Convey the unsaid
Pain and desires of my heart
O thou rain her
That smile
I saw
I fancy
I imagine
Would be my saviour
For the rest of
The play!

Tujhe chhoone par hai lagta
Tu jalti jwala re!
Tujhe niharne par lagta
Tu chaand ka tukda re!
Aisa Kya jadoo Kiya
Aisa Kya jadoo Kiya
Ore Priya re!
Tere sang Tere sang ishq hua re!
Bana Dene jaisa lagti ** tum
Ek chitra!
Are munh tumhara ek
Paan ka patta
Bana Dee gayi lagti ** tum
Ek moorti!
Sach jaisi
Konark ki kala kirti
Tujhe padhne se lagti hai tu
Sach mein  ek kahani re
Tujhe gaane see lagta
Tu ek geet re!
Aisa Kya jadoo Kiya tune
Aisa Kya jadoo Kiya toone
Ore Priya re!
**** bhar Teri
Rajnigandha ki khushboo
Teri chaal mein
Raj hansini ka chhand!
Barasne jaisa pyar tumhara
Madhu ki varsha!
Sabhi or hoti hai
Bas teri hi charcha
Tujhe tolne par
Tu lagti
Ek phool re!
Tujhe dhaalne par lagti
Tu kuchh rang re!
Aisa Kya jadoo Kiya
Aisa Kya jadoo Kiya toone
Ore Priya re!

Tere sang Tere sang ishq hua re!

Oh in these turbulent Rosy times!
Taking our moments of togetherness
Our precious memories
Making them closer to ourselves
Will we get lost in
Each other!
I am the lyric
You are the notes
Of joy
Oh my dearest!
Who is the most loving of
Me!!
Oh I am the river
That flows touching the shores
And you are my destiny
The ocean!
Oh in the garden of spring
Everywhere the colours reign
I am the fragrant aroma
And you are my carrier
O dearest wind!
Where am I,O?
Oh you are the moon
Of the night
And me,
It's happy dream!
Oh you are but
The everlasting dream
In our world
We weave
Around us!
Oh in these turbulent Rosy times!
Taking our moments of togetherness
Our precious memories
Making them closer to ourselves
Will we get lost in
Each other!
In the mirror of my mind
Is reflected in happy shame
The colourful mind of your's!
Like the pearl in the
Heart of the shell
Oh dearest,you are my life!
Oh playing with laughter
And tears
Will both of us
Go away
On the pathway of life!
Oh in these turbulent Rosy times!
Oh dearest,you are the warmth of my desires!
You are the heart of my mind!
Oh having loved you
I have found myself!
Understood my dreams
Not understood.
Oh in lives after life
You being my God
Would come
In the temple of
My mind's heart!
Oh in these turbulent Rosy times!

I wanna be in your arms
I wanna get lost in them
They are my sole respite
From the tyranny
Of the world
Which but
Appears cruel
The ocean of things unknown
Beneath your eyes
Echoes out to me
O honey
Come O come
Let the ship of my
Burning azure desires
Find its stormy way
To the shores of
Peace
Let my one half
Find its place
In the petty
Days of my life
Oh so happy is one
To get lost in this
Black hole
Oh but black is the
The one you find
When all other s
Get lost in each other
Loading their
Gravity
The profanity
Of their bonds
Breaks barriers
Physical and mental alike
To find a place
Better than anything else
Exchanging speechless messages
And precious glances
Of the determination
To get lost in a happy puzzle
Of life
In quest
Of each other's
Life's glory
Oh I happily
Dive into
This ocean!!

I am a flower
That doesn't need
Someone to be it's
Guide
Someone to show him the
Way
Someone to care like
Eager ghosts
Oh all in this world
Are but hosts
As she let's her virginity be lost
By the kiss
Of the bees
She turns into frost
She nurtures a baby
Provides her food
And colour
To enchant this world
I look and look
And get lost
Oh sweet flower
You are so
Interesting!

Oh dear,what are called thoughts here?
Oh dear,what is called pain either?
Oh you all say day and night
Love and only love
Oh dear,who is called love?
Is it only painful
Is it only the eyes' tears?Is it only the sigh of sorrow?
Oh then people do it
In search of such pleasure
Such a painful venture?
In my eyes all are beautiful
All are novel all are clear and pure
The blue sky,the prosperous green jungles
The vast moonlight,the tender flowers
All are but
Like me,no?
Only do they laugh
Only do they sing
Laughing and playing
They want to die
Neither do they no sorrow
Nor burst of tears
They don't know
The pains of pursuit so
Oh the flower laughs
And laughing it falls
Laughing the moonlight
Does get lost
Oh in the sea if light
Laughing the sky's stars
Leave why?
Oh dear,who is happy like me?
Oh dear oh come near me
Oh singing the songs of a happy heart
I will console your soul and heart!
Everyday if you
Cry and cry
Not even for a day
Do you laugh
Oh oh no
Let us forget all this sorrow
And sing together
To our heart's glory
For a day!

Oh my time fades away
In the evening
Tuning myself
To your tunes!
Oh a string of the ektara(a stringed musical instrument)
Cannot bear!
The melody
Of this song!
With you
Again and again
I have accepted
My defeat
In this playful game!
Oh tuning myself to your tunes
Oh this string of mine
Is tuned to a note so near
Oh that flute but plays far
Oh on the shores
Of the glorious acts
Of this melodious song
In reaching there to be lost
In you
Can everyone succeed?
Oh in the palace
Of the heart of hearts
Of this world
To weave a mesh
Of soulful raga-raginis(tunes)
Oh tuning myself to your tunes
Happily I do get lost
Oh my time fades away
In the glories
Of this evening!

My freedom will be in this light
In this light!
Freedom in these strands of grass
In this tiny particles of dust
Oh in this enchanting play
Of the mind and the body
I lose myself!
In the notes of this
Melody
And its Radiant songs
My freedom floats above
Oh my freedom
You are only in
The midst of the
Minds of everyone
In the difficult tasks
Where I do leave
All my sorrows
And worries of danger
Far behind
Oh does burn
The sacred sacrificial
Yajna fire
Rich with the
Eagerness of self sacrifice
In the heavenly abode
Of the one
Who holds this world!
O let me sacrifice this life
In the quest
Of this golden freedom
My freedom will be
In this light!

Fairs are
Layers of surprises
The cacophony of noises
The beauty of the various
Human creations
On display
Awaiting their
Customers
O Cashmere silks
Flowing like cream
The twelve yard long
Sari occupying
The seat of glory
Among all its mates
Glowing with its zardozi
And glimmering
Bridal wear
Handsome kurtas
And glorious turbans
Waiting to adorn
Men no less
Than their show
Shawls and scarfs
Beautiful raiments
Not only
Serve the human insecurity
But go well beyond
They glorify one's
Personality indeed
Maybe soon
Gender neutral garments
Would adorn these shelves
The world is moving
Pay heed
But now
This fair is making me romantic
Thoughts of daydreaming
Seeing so much
Wanting to get all of them
O I grow more infant
But I also see
In secret delight
Young lovers
Exchanging glances
This fair unites them
At least from
The bottom of their hearts!
I have to move on
O I see
Mighty rides
Brimming with people
The Titanic ride
Shouldn't meet
Another golden tragedy
Happy faces
And cheerful hearts
Do greet me
O my stomach is rumbling
Food is something
Without which
Our life gets
Tumbling
O jalebis
Roundels of joy
Dripping with ghee
And heavenly
Sugar syrup
These colorful goodies
I can't resist or stop
O boy
Pakodas being strained out
From hot simmering oil
Looks delicious
O what joy
Candyfloss
And sweets varied
Rich with magenta
Green and hues
Rapid
Greet me like
Those air hostesses
I crushed on
As a child
They do take me
On a flight of imagination
On gulping all of
Them down
One by one
My sweet tooth
Can't resist
O not
I see handsome hunks
Engaged in eager fight
Showing their power
And masculine might
Do they really have
Any hatred
Oh no
They are just friends
And they enjoy
Thus merry sport
O the dreaming young boy
Not bold but coy
Watches in wonder
He could not get those
Wondrous sweets
O wait
The fair had something for him
He could get
Those do paisa candies
At least!
He is enjoying with his pals
The fair
Is the blossoming ground
Of his long lasting
Friendship
But I am reminded
As I see dancing maidens
In sheer joy
That men but do come and go
But this saga of fairs has been going on
Since time immemorial
Only uniting the hearts
Of those
Who come here
To deal and feel
Some moments of joy
In this world
So mundane and real

Kiss
O what are you!
You make me blush
When you come
Into my life
Carrying Kamadeva(Cupid)
On your sugar coated
Fragrant vibrant hues
And blissful feeling
Of your aura
But thou art the one
In whose wait
I spend sleepless nights
When you happen
To near your ecstatic happening
You make me hot
With not only love's
Gentle warmth
But with something
Beyond
O what I feel
Set hot with temptation
Rich hot blood
Flowing through my veins
Rich with desire
You transform
Mundane days
To days spent
On cloud nine
You ratify the strength
Of human bond
The feeling of belonging
O you make me imagine
The pleasure
Of Rati
The consort
Of Kama
When her husband
Was to accompany her
O kiss you are the cause
Of happiness of beings
Even not blessed with
Beauty externally
O you take me away from this world
To only leave me with
Some great moments
And their memories
You are the beautiful
Expression
Of the most soothing
Cause of living for many
O kiss you are
The divine
Messenger of love
And heavenly goodness!

The lute of my heart
Sways to sweet tunes
Come,o come
Glorious conscience
The song filled
Lotus garden
Of my heart awaits you
O one who stays
In realms unknown
Holding the lute(veena)
Of my conscience
In her hand
Under her control
Not only is she the
Manifestation of
Ambrosia filled
Goodness
But the sacred
Goddess of the word
By whose divine touch
What surrounds her
Is blessed with such goodness!
Her very image
Is like the glory
Of light
Of a diamond
The beauty
Of the dreaming
Eyes of a deer
O somewhere
That radiance
Does reside
In my heart's place
By the presence of whom
This day and this night
Are sweet to enchant
To their heart's glory
O the fragrant enchanting
Directions
Touched by the honey
Of the cuckoo's song
O show yourself
O goddess
In this radiant glory
Let my eyes
Be blessed
Once by
Your divine grace
O do not
Reside anymore
In the realm
Unknown
Of my mind
Under the veil of
Shadowy illusion
Manifest yourself,o Devi
Let your grace enlighten me!!

I embarked on a fairytale journey
Set sail on a sail of dreams
Moving ahead with the oars of imagination
It was all as if a
Mystic celebration!
Had my past memories as my companions
Looking forward to gaining some more
As I'd anchor to harbour
Of unknown wonders
I was to create
A flyover
To new such movers
Of my mundane things
But as I was sailing past
Things of the past
Seeing and absorbing
Things myriad
Gypsies,fairies
Dragons and whales
The jungleman
Aboard his flying monkey plane
His dreams
Of eating berries
Hearing the sweet
Jungle cuckoo
Sing
Did feel I
Also felt his bravery
Of facing and making
The mighty tiger
His friend
Could I?
Puppets various
Dancing to tunes
Junglee animals
Howling in merry
They didn't seem sorry
Perfumes and ice cream delights
Mountains and heaps of
Sweets
Oh my sweet tooth,oh
My craving heart
What not saw I
One of them I did pick
To be aboard with me
On my sail forever!
Forget how could I
Oh but what I see!
All that's good comes to an end
Out of my dreams
From nowhere
The nasty mobile rings
I come to reality
And attend the call
Oh will I
Forget those things
For once and for all!

I love you
For being you
For stirring me
For never letting me down
Even in the darkest times
I can just imagine
Lying down in
Your arms
Looking at my future
In your eyes
You stir me
You like the taste
Of the raw honey
You get
Having undressed me
My soul
To the deepest cores
Of existential truths
In my heart
This is what I
Love bout you
The mornings
When I find
Myself chipped
Ashes flying
All round me
You see a loving
Patient of dermatitis in me.
My love is beyond
Just testosterone
It's adrenaline rush
Which makes me immerse
In you
My dear!!

I watch cooking for joy
I love it
When vapours rise
The scintillating smell
Fills and arouses my nostrils
And my mundane mind
I like being blown away by this juggernaut of joy,aroma
Sensual satisfaction
I enjoy
The spurt of cumin
In rich oil
I love the
Dance of
Mustard crackling
How asafoetida
Sets the stage on fire
How curry leaves sound
Being sauteed
Only to come out
In an enchanting form
The fairies take centrestage
In this cooking dream
In vegetables
As they simmer
And get coated
With raisers of
Your taste buds
And assume
Magnified beauty
The *** turns into
A flurry of colours
You seem to get lost
As you gaze in wonder
Then the splash
Of tangy lemon
Juiced to Glory
Comes only
To leave you amazed
Fresh coriander
Basking in glory
Of it's green leaves
Makes it's debut
To leave you amazed
Your senses overflow
And in case you're
Not done
With this
Mesmerizing magnificence
The Majesty of food
Has more to offer
Your mouth starts watering
And you slurp it down
Enjoying every moment
Attaining some containment
In the form of good food!!

I am a banyan(vatavriksha)
Standing like
The guardian figure
At the gateway of the village
Oh you thought
The champakas,rajanigandhas
Were envious of me
No,no
I am an old one
Seen some hundred summers
And winters
Children and tots
Playing merrily
In my cool shade
On a hot summer afternoon
The river near me
I daily see
Carries timelessness
Just like me
Lovers passionate
Passing on boats
Even in floods of fury
Dreaming of being
Radha Krishna
And gopis
What not
Do I see
Oh pralaya(destruction)
Did see Krishna
Floating away
On one of my leaves!
A baby ******* his toe
Untouched by any worry
My leaves are heart shaped
I do touch hearts of men
Read their minds
Some robust like me
Some weak
I wish to stand here
Endlessly
For just like holy kadamba
Under which Krishna gave gopis
Aatmananda(joy of self-conscience)
Rich with its divine glory
I am but a mere banyan tree!

Main hoon dasi
Kisi ki naukrani nahin
Na koi kaharin
Main hoon devadasi
Devalayon ki shobha
Sada saanjh ko
Kanak deep jala
Devstuti kar
Khud ko bhagyawati samajhti
Main hoon devadasi
Yahi to hai mera garv
Wah din yaad hai aaj bhi
Raja ne jis din meri pratibha
Ko samjha
Mujhe devadasi ka pad saunpa
Mere premi mere devta
Prabhu
Sada raat ko jinke liye
Ghunghroo pehen naachti main
Lekin garima meri hai aisi
Aashiq mere anek
Naachti jab main
Mujhe dekh
Woh kya maza lootte
Mere punya ko chhente!
He prabhu
Jeeti hoon ab
Roz shoshan ke dar mein
Uddhar Karo naath
Tumhari patni nahin
Aakul bhagat ki to guhar suno
Uddhar Karo prabhu
Kehlaun mein
Punya devadasi!

Love is something thrilling
That sets your soul shrilling
Unexpressed desires flow
Like shivers down the backbone blow
You're unnerved sometimes
But you do love it
You feel on the top of the world
You know
You're gonna be healed
Of every wound
Till you have your reaper
The redeemer of your soul
Beside you
Looking into the depths of your eyes
Wanting to get lost
Perhaps forever!!

I am a lover
Fanatic you may say
I am weird
Each single day
She loves me
So do I
But tell me O world
Why do you lie?
After we marry
Are together
Not seeing a giggling one
In my precious lap
You despise us
I know I am bereft
Of much potential
But do you ever think
Of my sacred love's potentials
OK so just because
I can't get it up there
Am but a soggy biscuit
Falling into a cup
Of tea
Missing that ecstasy
I can't give you one
One who will giggle
At uncertain future
To be a part of
Your glorious
Puncture
Which you made
Neglecting
Just love and affection
And the will of togetherness
This is how
You expect me
To be dressed
To get a blessed one
Like butter from milk
So I see
You are the catalyst
In breaking
So many contracts
Of love
And moreover,
Thirsty hearts!
I say this because
Someone is
At this juncture
Not allowed
To his luck's dispensation
For he is one
With erectile dysfunction!!

Hello world
Thanks for being
What you are
For raining
Golden fleece
As honey success
And torrential blows
As dark sorrow
But I realize
Success and
Sorrow
Are the two sides
Of the same coin
Like sisters parted
Due to storms
Of misunderstanding
So I resolve to move on
Every single day!

Ishq e Zindagi
Kya sitam dhaya toone
Na to tagaful karoge tum
Lekin hum khaak ** jayenge!

This world's a stage
Where plays myriad happen
And actors plenty get wages
OK
Wages of love
Of sugar parted breath
And sweet distances
Between two loving souls
OK
Sometimes this distance
Sweet as honey before
Becomes ugly
Attraction becomes repulsion
OK
Sometimes you feel your soul
Crushed like a plastic can
Words parting for breath
Having run a marathon
Just.....to be expressed!
OK
Sometimes you feel cared
As if someone's hand
For you is always there
Soon you realize
He was a figment
Of nothing but surprise
OK
You do the running
And find
All but human beings
Are so blind
Sometimes you do feel
Everyone's but a guest
Of two and a half days!
One to be born and brought up
Another to near death
O man!just don't give up
In the half for you left
OK
Finally I come to the point
To everything
How easy it is
To say an
OK!

He was a little child
Who loved chocolates
His dreams were
To be among the 'greats'

He loved his mom
And other family members
His birthday was just celebrated
With the family he remembers

Went to his school happily
To learn
Life's lessons
And be good in turn
But such was goodness
Who would know
His dark chocolate love
Would bury his life
In a brutal snow.

A bus conductor
Who had on him
Dark deep eyes all day
Just like an eagle
Who waits for his prey.
He was 'chocolate' uncle
To this lil one
So that day
He had some dark fun
Called him to the washroom
Tempting him
To his love chocolates
Smiling he went
Unknown that
His life would be
In a shambles

Out came the knife
Then you know
Severed was his throat
Left we're his eyeballs
Horrifyingly slow
Before this
Did he see
Some
Dark fun
If the uncle
As he played
With his childhood
And right through his pants.
But know
Won't be seen
His happy face
Brimming with joy
And dream's play
Oh society
Do you grow
So grey
With neglect
With ***** minds?
This is what I see
And wish to so
For we don't know
This li'l soul
Would be born again
Or no....

Oh honey child!
Whither are you going?
Your wedding cakes are on the hearth
Thither they are glowing.
      
People are coming
To bless you
For your bliss ahead
Oh honey child!
Whither are you going?

Your wedding gown
Decked up with
The chicest of jewels
Waits in silence
To witness
As your accompaniment
The storm of joy
Of merriment
And good hope
Oh honey child!
Whither are you going?


The honey bride says
I know not what calls me
To the nature's lap
The woods
So dense and deep
Periwinkles and wild roses
Daisies and vivid poses
Of the sceneries
Of Mother nature
Oh mother
I know not
My feet are chasing
Someone unknown


Oh honey child
Marriage is bliss
Why do you face away
And give
Your life's fortunes
A 'sad' miss?
The master groom comes
Lay your hands on his
Exchange the garlands
Of love and life's vows
Find your way
Merrily with his
Oh honey child
Handsomely would he come
And take you
For he is your loving bridegroom
Honey child'honey child!
Whither are you going?


The spirits of joy
The scent of
Blissful solitude
And beautiful happiness
The song
Of the koil scented
Riverbank
And the unknown
Merry wilderness
Calls me
O mother
Not will I stay
I will go.....

I start
From mounts
High up
Innocent as a little one
I chatter and bicker along
I carry people and cultures
I am a brook
I flow youthfully
Through the vales
The sunshine plays in my
Glowing waters
From pines to banyans
I see everyone
I carry messages galore
I am a brook
Lover's delight
Touch me nots
Grow by me
They tell me the beauty
And innocence
Of the blossom
Of love
In peoples heart
I carry immense love
Oh I am a brook
I enter the planes
Having nourished
Many people
Along my journey
As a loving mother
A student and
A lover
A teacher
And businessman
And a farmer and a preacher
All rub shoulders
As they cross my
Vast expanse
In a steamer
Conversations of life
Irrigating lands
Bringing a smile
To people's faces
So much I do
After I enter into
The brimming river
Oh I was a brook
Men come and go
Some carve a place for themselves
But I go on forever
Getting lost into the
Mighty river
My glorious destiny
Every moment!

I wish I had
                    The one I love
Beside me,her dark lover
                     Whether she
Would love me or not
                      I would not
Want to know
                      For my love would
Be like snow falling
                       Which doesn't know
For it,what's in calling
      My affection would be like
          The surface of the
            Furnace of the deserts
              Of vast Arabia
Her love,her precious kiss on my
Forehead
And her gentle touch
And the play of her black eyes
Her reciprocation
Of someone's courtship
Would be the rain
I would wait for
The time would pass
So may happen nevertheless
                          For my love
                          If true,yet'
'One sided'
As this world
Calls it aloud
Would find solace
In the meager sight of my love
At least in someone's lap
Looking into his eyes
With the same desire
With which I look into hers
Love is enjoyed as time passes
They say
The longing for
One another raging
In one's heart
Is the best thing
Life offers
If romance is sin
Then let me do it
To get the gin
The essence of life's
Story for me
And isn't it the same
For you
I wait to embrace
And enjoy
My dark love
Be it 'one sided or not'
For I stand still
Miles away
From such a spot!

I stand in a marketplace
Where goats wait
Tethered to the trees
Of neglect and sorrow
To be slaughtered
And carry with them
All bottled love,hate
And sorrow and things
Unknown from this life
Shopkeepers wait to profit
From someone's necessities
The customer's desires stem
From where
As a lover waits for his mistress
Amidst all hustle and bustle
Of this battle of life
Now the lady comes
They kiss in the dark
As I watch
Lodged in secret
I wonder
I question the
Purity of the actions
Of these lovers
And the person
Who but kills
Innocence
From this world
Why,weren't the emotions
Of the goat
The holy confidence
Of the customer
Killed
For the glowing love
Of the shopman
For his thrift
Should I despise the
Secret romance of the
People in love
Or the shopman's
Thrift(secret sweet sin)
This world's echoes
Cannot tell me
For they are
Just like me
Bound by the 'morals'
Of the 'enlightened'
Society
Ah.. Someone calls out
Don't look there
For they sin this world

I was a dream written in stone
I was a bundle to be delivered
A happy treat which scriptures Revere
I was the cream of my mom's imagination
But found the wring canvas
On my father stone
I was the daughter of a 21st century elite
But before birth do they delete
Such worthless creations of God
A knife ran
My growing soul freed
From the mortal body
Which this world
Would see
But despise not glee
I wonder do I thank god
Or curse him
As I see my mother crushed
By none other than a misogynist
He laughs
She cries
As the elite
Prepare to speak
On girls' day
O father
Dont you feel shame
At being called as father
Or is my sense wrong
terming a part
Of my genes my father's
I am a soul
Of a woman after freedom
I decide I am happy
I thank Almighty
For freeing me
From sufferings
Of a life
Which I
Would never see....
