Angels

….and there were wingless angels still out there who wanted to laugh,
who wanted to play, who wanted to hug, who wanted to cry.
But alas! tears won’t break through their deep curious eyes
…b’cz these angels didn’t know how do they cry!

तेरी आंखो के नाम

कब से था इस इंतज़ार में,

न मुझे न किसी और को हवा हुई !

तेरी एक नज़र काफी थी,

खलबलि फिर से जगा के तू चली गई |

तेरी आँखें ओंझल सी थी और अब भी है,

जो देख के भी अनदेखी रहती है |

कसक है ऐसी मेरे दिल में,

फिर भी फुर्तीला चल रहा हू मैं |

तेरी हर वो मज़ाक, तेरी हर वो हसी,

क्या तु इतनी बेखबर, मुझे कैसे छू जाती !

कभी तेरे आँखों तले बैठता हूँ मैं बस ये सोचे,

फव्वारों के ध्वनि जो अजीब नशा एक लाती,

तू चाहे बादलो में गुम हो जाए जब भी,

आशाये, एक दिन अपना मुझे समझोगे कभी ||

……..My first touch of romanticism with lines in Hindi.

I see you

I must be dreaming a dream
and if it is so, I ain’t wanna wake up!
But wake up I must and get back
to the utter grossness of reality;
and yet when I open my eyes
my eyes desire that it’s you I would see.

The best of the lot needs no convey
It’s all in the signs, ain’t need the say.
I have painted my walls bright enough,
the shine I seek but I will never see.
Let it be strands of chemical imbalance;
Let it be me who is trapped in this avalanche.

My only relief outta this hearty outrage
is in the melody I create outta six strums.
I’ll await as the seasons come and go
for a different chord, rattles and hums.
Qualms I shall try notta have any,
’cause that’s what appears to be a duplicacy.

What I see now is like the coldness of the winter
like a dim light through the misty vapour
I shall still be seeking you.
You come every time in my dreams
and yet when I open my eyes,
I desire to see you, forever with me!

It needs two to whisper

I have heard them say “Oh! Why didn’t we meet earlier?”
And then it went on, same as before!
Wishes ethereal I so have had unscathed unplanned,
much as I had not so desired.
And then it went on, same as before!
Much as they talked, all in a whisper;
No analogies drawn but just holding on to a relentless appeal.
I am gonna be there for you, are you gonna just smile back at me?
Yeah it needs two to whisper, not much left to realize,
Yeah it needs two to whisper, signs alot went through my eyes.
Helter-skelter is what is getting on me
a stable me, just waiting for your entree
its just in the single me, that whispers don’t agree
It needs two to whisper, will you be the one to whisper to me?
