will write for food
for pain, for pleasure
for increasing figures
in the salary ledger
for the man on street
for feelings as easy treat
will write for nature
will write for world
will write for fame
for the worthy absurd
but will write i most
for love
for you, for me
will write for us
till it all dries up
“Half smiling, half crying;
Not alive, yet not dying…”
if all my existence could change that into something else…
if?
pyaar hota hai
sandhi jaisa
mila ke ek kar deta hai logon ko
– – – –
people are like words
there’s a space between
even when they are together
love is
like a conjuction
which blends these people together
some
come closer
and do things unmentionable
moving on
secretly pleased
with their assorted fantasies
only a few
are my master’s delight
they like the garb
he has put upon
my naked body
the feel, the colors
the texture, the style
best in the shop, he claims
my pretensions admired
are calculated for price
i stand inconsequential
i don’t matter
am just a mannequin
in the shop window of time
aurat
soft toy jaisi
ghar ke show-case mein
saja di jati
saal dar saal, gard khati
dheere-dheere
aurat
pichle darwaje jaisi
kaamwali se batiyati
kuda phinkwati
aur sajti
diwali par sabse ant mein
aurat
durga ki pratima jaisi
sajayi, sanwari
pooji jati
phir dus din baad
baha di jati, jamuna mein
aurat
sirf aurat jaisi
uske hone ka dard
uski apni hi khushi
purush samajh paya hai kya
aurat ko kabhi
