दिल्लगी!!

उनका शहर,
उनके लोग,
उनकी महफ़िल,
उनका निमंत्रण,
उनके कर्म,
उनका नासम्झना,
उनका जलाना,
उनकी बेरुख़ी,
उनके सितम!

हमारा इश्क़,
हमारा प्यार,
हमारी मोहब्बत,
हमारा दिल,
हमारी दिल्लगी!

आज भी एक निमंत्रण आया है,
और मैं सज रहा हूँ जलने के लिए,
डर सिर्फ इतना सा है,
हमारा जलना, उनकी महफ़िल में आग न लगा दे कहीं?

Bhai & Chai @ Watertank!!!

Gazing the stars from the rooftop water tank,
Counting the air-planes fly by,
Light Music at the corner,
And the Peace all around.

Sipping a Cuppa of Chai,
Chatting for hours and hours more,
Debating on the angel and the devil,
Decoding the future peril,
Laughter and the cries echo,
Seen one's reflection in the others eye,
Prepared to take the challenge as the time passes by,
Two comrades together and the life demystify.

Alas! Much time has passed since,
Many years have gone by,
Those were the golden days,
Two brothers together as the life demystify!

The Symphony of Time!

Sitting near a window,
Gentle breeze pass by,
Fresh as a morning dew,
Old as an etched memory,
Reminiscing the times gone by...

Imperfect present mirrors a perfect past,
Many lives, Many promises it casts,
Improbable future right at the brink,
Remains a promise as the present shrinks...

Caught in the realms of time,
The wind kept blowing,
Like a Mozart symphony,
Reminiscent of the the times gone by!
