There was a time I wanted to be heard
There was a time I searched for a herd
To preach perhaps, power I preferred 
But to belong somewhere was the greater urge
And I was ready to mingle and merge
But now, Its solace that I seek the more
I search now for a secluded shore 
Where I can ground my boat and rest my oar



Onto each great mind I peep
Onto paths they traversed
I see always a lingering lunacy
Genius perhaps, beyond my comprehension
May be it’s my madness
I am yet to transcend

Lamhen




इक  अरसा हुआ लिखे
मगर  वक़्त  का  क्या
जब  जब  लिखे  हैं ....बस  तब  तब  जिए  हैं
मेरे  अतीत  के  वीराने  में
बस  कुछ  वही  लम्हें  रह  गए  हैं
सियाही  जो  चख  गए  हैं
कागज़  पे  जो  उतार  गए  हैं
है  मंज़र  कई  याद  हमें
मगर  जज़्बात  सारे  खो  गए  हैं
उन  खंडरों  में  अब  बस्ता  नहीं  है  कोई
जिन्हें  लिख  दिए  वोह  साथ  चल  दिए
बाकि  सब  जाने  कहाँ  चल  दिए
चेरे  याद  हैं  उनके
गर  हैं  फिर  भी  अनजाने  वोह
बरहाल  जो  छोटा  सा  कारवाँ हे
अब  बस  वही  ज़िन्दगी  है

हे राम तुझे कैसे पूजूं



राम तुझे कैसे पूजूं 
हे राम  तुझे कैसे पूजूं 
हे युग पुरुष, तेरे त्रुटियों को कैसे भूलूँ 
इस पूरण सभ्यता का 
तू नीव है, सारांश है 
तेरे पुरुषार्थ के प्रतिभिम्भ पर  
है धर्म स्तापित, मर्यादा बंधी  
राम नाम से जना, राम नाम से बना 
राम सेतु ही सामान 
श्रद्धा एवं भक्ति से  
निर्मित यह सम्पूर्ण सभ्यता
कर दशानन को धरा 
तुने बुधि, शक्ति, समृद्धि पे  
अहंकार और अथिक्रमण पे 
सत्य साहस स्नेह को 
सही को स्तापित किया 
हे युग पुरुष फिर क्या हुआ 
सीता पे क्यों अन्याय हुआ 
गर सीता पे न यकीन था 
तो युद्ध फिर था 
सिर्फ मान अपमान का
तेरे शंका का भी सीता ने मान किया 
तेरे ही नेत्र समक्ष  
स्वयं को अग्नि से परीक्षित किया 
जिसे अग्नि न झुटला सकी 
जो शास्वत सत्य था 
तेरे प्रजा के संकोच पे  
तुने उस सत्य का...सीता का क्यों त्याग किया 
वर्त्तमान प्रजा तंत्र भी  
तेरे राज्य का प्रथिभिम्भ है 
सत्य से बड़ा यहाँ आज भी बहु मत है 
न्याय को दीखता नहीं 
जो सुना वही सही 
तेरे दिखलाये मार्ग पे  
चल रही यह सभ्यता 
इस सभ्यता का तू 
इतिहास भी, वर्त्तमान भी 
और इच्छित भविष्य भी 
हे राम अब तू ही बता 
मैं तुजे कैसे पूजूं  
हे युग पुरुष तेरे त्रुटियों को कैसे भूलूँ

Let Nature


 
Let the grass grow on the plains
Glow green with morning dew
Dance dizzy to the whistling winds
Let deer’s nibble on its tender leaves
Tigers hide and prey
Let nature reign
Men, time has come to return her domain
Lest she shall soon, seize it all
With vengeance make men pay her due

For whom do I write


'Ah' who doesn't like a bit of fame
For what is said, is said to be heard
But if one were to ask
Would I say still, what I have to say
If there is indeed no one to hear
I would say 'yes'
For even in the black, blank void
What I say, echoes onto my soul
For I am my eternal audience

life and death


If death is dark, life is darker
For no one sees death but once
Most however pass through life
Without a whiff of her essence

what do u feed


Most work to feed their stomach
Hard they toil all their lives
Needless to say they survive
However harsh the world may be
Some but favour to feed their heart
Sing their way through their lives
Needless to say they find happiness
However sad the world may be
And there are few who feed their soul
Dedicate their lives to some pristine goal
Needless to say they leave a mark
However dark the world may be

Paths


Many men, many lives
Transverse through the same flux of time
And through their minds infinite possibilities arise
Some in anger smoulder take paths of violence and crime
Some in care and compassion take noble paths sublime
Some learn to progress others to descent
Some learn to bond and belong, others to dread and dissent
Some to speak few to listen
Some see light others see darkness
We live the same time, but each taste it different
And what we derive decides destiny of ours
Decides where we head, which paths we find

Time


Time is like a river, she never stays
But she is chaste, never betrays
It is just that, some see her going,
Slipping away
And some see her coming,
Opening the way
