Un-done

रेत के घरोंदे
फिसलते बंद मुट्ठी से
धीमी आंच पे
जलती ख्वाहिशें 
बेपरवाह-ए-अंजाम
चंद मंसूबे
खुरचन से ख्वाब
सीलन पड़ी दीवारों से
उड़ते रंग, चड़ते साल
बनते बिगड़ते हर काम
इस साल की 
अधपकी फसलों के नाम....

All in the Name


Crushed again,
Burst again,
Something has changed,
Something isn’t same.
No, its not sour,
It isn’t pain,
I do not feel
Anything,
I feel all the same.
I see myself
Alone
On the check board,
Was I playing by my rules,
In someone else’s game?

Where is that smile
That lit my eyes?
Where is that tear,
That fell
Untamed?
Where is the anger,
That made me
Stammer?
Where is the zitter,
That I felt
In your name?
Where is the sense
Of belonging,
When I heard my name?

Not surreal,
just indifference..
Scattered in pieces,
with no acceptance..
All those days,
appear like dreams..
Far far off
Lost in the maze,
Of my mind
In my own game.

Why did I believe
That we would live,
To see the day
Come true,
for me and you..
But I still dream
with No night
of exception,
of u, of us
of our own terraine..
Every morning,
I call you names..
and I curse myself,
For being so lame.

Only if,
I could feel
The fall..
that I had
I would have told
How hurt I was..
But I,
am still floating
over the cross lane
Or, have I already
hit the rock bottom
and have lost all touch
Of reality,
Of being humane..
I do not blame,
you or me..
As confused,
I remain,
with nothing
ascertain...
but certainly I have lost
the game..
of love..
all in the name...
of love..
Yes, all in your name,
Trying to find
my identity..
My true name!!!
