Yesterday, I was nothing .
I was happy.
You pulled me down .
Treated me like trash.
It ignited a fire in me.

Now, I shine bright ,
just like the Sun .
Don't come closer
You will burn ,
In my light.

I saw her walking on a full moon night ,
Wearing a silver gown ,
Her face shining like a brilliant star .
She looked at me and smiled .

I stood ,wondering who she was .
Soon, I found her standing next to me .
She greeted me with her embrace,
and a kiss upon my lips.

Alas! I  woke up -
It was only a dream.

My heart often sings for you,
The eternal song of love.
If it ever touches your heart,
Come to me.
I will be waiting,
For all eternity.

You cannot keep me chained.
You can't clip my wings .
I will not surrender.
I won't accept defeat .
I will break free .
I  will fly away .

I am freedom.

This is our world-
Yours and mine.
We call it home.
It's not perfect ;
It has flaws .
True, we can't make it perfect .
But with a little bit of kindness ,
and a little bit of love
we can always make it better .

Only if we try-
Let us try.

जिंदगी भर ना सही ,
दो कदम तो मेरे साथ  चलो  |
सारी उमर ना सही ,
बस दो पल मेरे साथ गुजारो
कुछ अपनी कहो,
कुछ मेरी सुनो |
तुम ना सही ,
ये यादें मेरे संग रहेंगे |
तन्हा जिंदगी के सफर में ,
यहीं मेरे हमसफर बनेंगे  ||

Once I was asked..if I could,
would I trade my broken heart with a perfect new heart ?
As tempting as it was,
I said I would not.
"Strange", he said. "Why not?"
With a smile I replied

"It is my broken heart that has turned me into a poet.
Each time it aches, emotions flows like a river
from where a beautiful new poem is born ,
which then I share with the world,
to bring them a moment of joy. "

Do not knock,
The door of my heart is locked.
Once,  it was a glorious place
Filled with the love of my dearly beloved,
and the soft sound of my heartbeats.
Now, it's empty and silent.
Graveyard of a dead love.
A forbidden place for lovers.
Please, do not knock
You can't enter
The door to my heart is locked forever.

I am afraid ,
not of dying,
but to be born again .

I am afraid ,
not of my enemies ,
but to fall in love again.

I am afraid,
not of death,
but to live one more life
with a broken heart.

If I  say, " I love you",
will you give me your heart?
I cannot bring you ,
the Sun, the  Moon and the Stars.
I have no superpowers .
I am only a human being,
madly in love with you.
Will you be my companion for life
If I  promise to always stand by you,
no matter what?
Will you love me as I do,
till death do us part ?

The world has changed so much.
But has it changed for better?
Swords are replaced by bullets .
But the killing goes on .
The thirst for blood of a fellow human being
still remains the same .
Advanced Technology, Artificial Intelligence and Drones are meant to make our life better,
But haven't they also made killing much easier ?
It really makes me wonder ,
Has the world really changed for better?

If I had the Magic lamp,
I  would wish for bullets of love
To **** all the hatred from people's hearts
And for bullets of kindness
To **** all the jealousy from people's minds
And then I would set the Genie free.

If hearts could speak to one another
Two things a broken heart would say to the unbroken heart -
" The person you love the most
Holds the power to hurt you the most ".
                               &
"A lifetime is not long enough to heal the wounds of a broken heart ".

I went on a quest,
in search of the most beautiful place on earth.
I saw beauty all around .
But what I went searching for ,
I  found it right here .
It is the heart,
for, heart is the sacred place where
the flower called love blooms.

If I were to define poetry,
I would say,
Poetry is ‐
The thoughts of our mind ,
The words of our  heart and
The feelings of our soul .
It has a language of its own
through which,
it connects with the world.

You judge a person
As if it's your birthright
As if it's your only purpose in life
You pass your judgment
By listening to one side of the story
You judge a person
Not by their character
But by their attire,
By the colour of their skin
By the way they look.
By their economic conditions.
Who are you to judge?
Are you so flawless?
Are you so perfect?
Are you that good?

Don't shed tears,
Over my dead body.
I am no longer in there.
I am free now ,
From the ******* of life .
You call me dead,
I feel more alive .
Keep me in your heart.
Keep me in your memories .
We will meet again ,
Through your dreams.

This is my story .
How I came to be .
Lying unconscious,
In my death bed
Waiting for the inevitable
Alas! I came back to life
Woke up all alone
Sad and lonely
No one to care or love
Thought dying would have been better
Was fascinated by the world of Art
Drawn towards Monet, in particular
Started to dream,
To paint like him
Soon to realize
It was a dream, too far out of reach
Felt lost again
Wondering , to which world do I belong
So I took to writing
And this is how I came to be.

If I had two hearts
I would give them both to you
As I know how much you like
Breaking hearts.
You enjoy being loved
But you don't love
Perhaps you can't
Maybe you don't have a heart
I can't help it, I love you
Love is all I have for you
I would give you both my hearts
With a hope beyond hope
That someday you too will learn
To fall in love.

"O,to be loved. "
A feeling like no other.
"Makes your heart fly like a butterfly"
In a garden full of flowers.

Come back ,
Or give me my life back.
You took all I had.
Come back ,
You are all I have.

Don't say your goodbyes yet.
You have a long journey ahead.
Not everyday will be sunny.
Some of the days will be gloomy.
You will feel so lonely.
On such a day,
Remember someone is there,
Who will sing you a happy song
To lift your mood.
Dance funny to make you laugh.
Stand by you to let you know,
You are not alone .
Will hold your hand ,
Won't let you fall .
Don't forget ,
Don't say goodbye, just yet.

One day you will see,
I  will make you proud of me.
That day will come,
When all my dreams will come true.
And then I will say to the world,
I told you so.

One day it will come .
The day of my dreams.
A world, peaceful and beautiful .
No hatred, only love abound .
Everyone offering a helping hand ,
So that no one falls behind .
No talks of riches or power.
No discrimination against any
Race, religion or gender.
All equal, all accepted and loved.
Such a day will come soon.
I may or may not be around to see.
But I can see it in my vision,
How the day of my dreams would be.

In darkness,
be the light in someone's life.
Lend a helping hand,
You surely will make a new friend.
If someone loves you,
Honour that love.
For love isn't a commodity,
You can buy.
To the one you love,
Give the gift of time.
Spread a smile,
In someone's life.
Your life will be truly worthwhile.
After all,  what is life's worth,
If it can't make someone's life better.

I started my journey alone,
into the unknown.
Alone I may be,
but not lonely,
for my dreams are with me,
to keep me company.
I don't know where my destination is
it is the journey, that is my goal.

I went to the gift store ,
to buy you a gift.
Could not decide on
what to buy
Should it be the costliest one
or the prettiest one .
You are precious, so should you gift.
So, I left the store empty handed
to be with you ,
and give you,
the most precious thing that  I have ‐TIME.

वो चांद ही क्या ,
जिसमें दाग ना हो |
वो दिल ही क्या ,
जिसमें आग ना हो |
वो नींद ही क्या ,
जिसमें किसी का सपना ना हो |
वो धड़कन ही क्या ,
जिसमें  गूंजता  किसी का नाम ना हो |
वो नज़र ही क्या ,
जिसमें  किसी की तलाश ना हो |
वो मुस्कुराहट ही क्या ,
जिसमें  छुपा दिल का कोई दर्द ना हो |

ख़ुशियों से मेरे दिल को आबाद कर दो ,
गमो को मेरे दिल से आज़ाद कर दो |
अगर उम्मीद पर कायम है  ये दुनिया  ,
तो उम्मीदों से मेरा दामन भर दो  |
तुम्हारी यादें रुलाती हैं दिल को,
अपनी यादों को मेरे दिल से आज़ाद कर दो  |

There's a pain in my heart
It doesn't go away
Does it hurt because it's broken?
Or is it because you are the reason
Is this what you called love?
Making promises and then leave,
Tearing my heart apart.
My heart is pure, so was my love for you
You were too blind to see
Lucky are those who are being loved
Someday perhaps, it will be my time
To be loved.

Never looked at any other face again,
nor did I travel the road of love again.
Locked up my heart, once and for all,
for you were, are and always will be,
my one true love.
The Sun shone brightly and then,
disappeared behind the horizon.
Stars twinkled all night and then,
they too disappeared.
Storm came and gone,
leaving behind a trail of destruction.
But my love for you stayed like a rock,
never faded nor disappeared.

Why follow when you can lead the way,
Lose your way you may, but never lose hope.
Accept challenges, never surrender,
Every time you fall, rise a little higher.
When one door closes for you, find a new one.
Love you may not find, but always look to earn someone's trust.
When you see a dark cloud,
Remember there is a rainbow around.
Don't be afraid of the dark night,
For, the night is the darkest
Just before sunrise.

I was lost in the darkness,
you brought me to light.
Showed me the world,
through your eyes.
Your laughter fills my heart,
with new hopes.
Your soothing voice,
calms my unsettling mind.
Your smile makes,
my world peaceful.
You are like my very own star,
that shines brightly in a moonless night ,
to light up my dark path.

I love no more, I hate no more.
I dream no more, I wait no more.
My time in this world is over now.
Now I rest.
Farewell to all my miseries.
Farewell to all my pain.
It's all over now.
For now I rest.
In the peaceful bed of death.
Farewell! O' my dearly beloved.

O' love....your name I hear everywhere
What are you?...I  asked.
A voice came from within the depth of my heart
Love is.....it said
"When the world is lying at your feet
Yet, you don't care to look
For you can't take off your eyes
from that one face. "
O' how truly beautiful love is...said I.
Come...come...love
Come to my heart
For I too wish to feel your touch
Dear sweet love.

Strange but true,
I fell in love with you.
Never saw your face,
Yet I gave you my heart.
For I saw your heart,
Full of love.
You went out of my life,
But can you leave my heart?
You were never mine for me to keep,
Yet you became a part of my soul.
No matter where you are,
No matter whom you love.
You will forever live in my heart,
For you are the love of my life,
The most beautiful poem of my heart.

Give life a chance,
Live a little longer.
Life is a gift,
Share it with the ones you love.
Hold a trusted hand,
The road of life will be smoother again.
Leave all your sadness behind,
Step into a beautiful new world.
Set your aching heart free,
Love will come in like a cool breeze.
