Ehsas

Ehsas ke saath

Afsos bhi hota hai...

Gar ehsas zinda hai to aansu bhi aate hai,

Aur hansi bhi...

Maine to jab bhi koshish ki rone ki khud pe,

Hansi hi aayi...

Aansu barish ban ke

Man ki sukhi mitti ko khushboo se sarabor kar jate hai,

Aur banjar ho chuki dharti par andekhe phul khil aate hai.

About Me

My photo
Kagaz ke phoolo me mehek purani kitaab ki.... Zang lage guitar ke taar, aur dhun ek jaani pehchani... purani. Log kehte hai ki safar hai, par sab makaam dhundhte hai; Subah chale the, sham tak koi rah hume bhi dhundh legi...

A rainbow lost

In a dew drenched morning, we stood at a crossroad,

Neither I nor you knew what stood beyond the veil that covered our eyes...

It was through the winter fog... I thought, I saw a path laden with roses;

Fragrance of jasmine strong in my nostrils.

A Mild chill touched and my cheeks blushed...

A drop of January rain settled on my eyelash.

I looked at the sky and the fog gave way to the sun....

A single ray of light fell on the drop

And the drop broke into a rainbow...

Seven colours of the universe scattered on my face...

Delighted I looked for you, just to find myself standing alone

Your distant shadow visible walking away...

I stood there long, I was sure you will come back...

The sun rose higher up the sky, the veils of fog and dreams removed,

I was alone at that crossroad...

I wondered why I did not follow you; why didn't I ask you to stop...


Ages passed, I did not follow you; but why didn't I take another path?
