empty-
spaces.
vacant-
places.
expressionless-
faces.
lifeless-
eyes.
hollow-
insides.
jaded-
mind.
vacuous-
feelings.
asinine-
beliefs.
meaningless-
triumphs.
paled-
euphoria.
deplorable-
life.
one walks in the shadows,
unequalled, solitary, alone.
one pangs to cover the path,
unparalled, unrivalled, alone.
victory might come,
be yours after all.
at what price,
at what cost,
when the breathing becomes alien,
the meanings are all gone?

Honthon ki muskaraahat mein,
Aankhon ki nami chupaate hain.
Chalne ka dil nahin,
Phir bhi hum daudte jaate hain.
Haklaake kucch shabd dauhraate,
Khud pe thopi bhaasha badbadaate hain.
Manzilon ka thikaana nahin,
Jaane kiss raste ki oor badhte chale jaate hain.
Hum kya chahate hain,
Aaine ka saamna karne se ghabraate hain,
Ek paraayi zindagi jeete hain,
Roz aansu peete hain,
Roz aansu peete hain.

patricide, virgins defiled.
unpure self, in peace of mind.
calm exterior, inner horrified,
a tale of split personalities, protagonist with the devil smile.
thoughts, wander, graze,
in a hollow shell, they refuge, they pledge.
no more shags, no more peepholes.
sadism in actions, necrophiliac fantasies harcore.
mr jekyll or dr hyde, the mask?
outside in, or inside out?
nouns declined, words defined.
disturbed thoughts, a jaded mind.

khamosh,
bezubaan raat.
sooni,
anjaani raahein,
tarashti, jhoojhti,
kaali raat.
khilaadi the hum kabhi,
iss jhilmilaati raat ke.
kaidi hain abb,
iss raat ke andhere mein.
na kucch aata nazar,
na kucch aata samajh.
raston ko begaana banaati hui,
sehme zehen to dastak deti hui,
ye raat.
kabhi ye andhera tha thikaana.
gum hue, khelte the iski parchai mein.
kabhi kiya karte the intezaar iske hone ka,
abb karte hain dua ke guzar jaaye ye,
raat.

author’s note: read it aloud for the effect to kick in. have written it that way. thanks for stopping by. 🙂
—
hota hai.
kucch khota hai.
kucch kareeb se guzar jaata hai.
kucch paas hoke nazar nahin aata.
chalta hai.
saala samay pal pal ke hisaab se badhta hai.
kucch sawaal ye humse karta hai.
kucch sawaal hum isse kurte hain.
ek doosre se phir mooh pher,
roothe hue chalte hain.
sambhalta hai.
jawaabon ka saamna kurne se darr lagta hai.
akele baith hum sochte hain.
khud se baatein bolte hain.
phir unhi alfaazon se ghabraate hain.
jaane kis se darr, hum sehem jaate hain.
nahin hota.
nahin chalta.
nahin sambhalta.
kyun hum isse samajh nahin paate.
ek sipaahi ke peeche hum apni raani ganwaate hain.
kyun hum ye jhooth jeete hain.
roz zeher ki do boond peete hain.
iss dil aur dimaag ki kashmakash mein.
hum dil ka saath kyun chodh dete hain.
hum iss dil se bhaagte hain.
aur ye dil humein khud se bhagaata hai.
hota hai.
kucch khota hai.
dagmaate hue, in lehron pe badhta hai.
girte-girte sambhalkar,
chalta hai.
hota hai.
kucch khota hai.

When the music dies,
When the songbirds cry,
When the pathos of our existence,
Flash before the very eyes.
When the lovers part,
When the separation haunts,
When the meanings decode,
Can you face what you come to know?
When the light fades,
When the mirror breaks,
When the self obliviates,
Does the subjection help you subjugate?
When the clock hits nine,
When the need of whiskey turns more than the taste of wine,
When the past hits the present,
Where to the future shapes, the self beacons.

here goes the second post in Hindi. penning something down is much more challenging here!
aye dil, tu kyun majboor hota hai,
chaar ghoont daaru se chupke tu kyun sota hai.
badh chal tu iss sama mein,
dard baantne se itna kyun darta hai.
vehem nikaal de ki tu akela hai,
apni pehchaan tu khud se kyun khota hai.
aye dil, tu kyun udaas hota hai,
khushi ka mukhota daal maayus kyun hota hai.
jo nahin tha tera wo aaj bhi utna dur hai,
ponch le inn aankhon se nami ki hansi chupa le.
baadalon ke peeche chupkar,
tu kyun sawaal kurta hai,
baras jaa malhaar ke saath,
garaj jaa uspar jo tujhe udaas karta hai,
aye dil, tu kyun sawaal karta hai.
manzil pe pahunch ke bhi tu akela hai,
kya hai jo tu sabse chupa raha,
bol de jo aaj tere zehen mein hai,
tu inta kisse darta hai.
tod de wo zanzeerein,
alfaazon ko ugal de.
shabd naa mile to gam nahin,
apni aankhon se tu sab bayan kur de.
ki aaj bhi tu kyun rota hai,
sab paas ho tu majboor kyun hota hai.
khud ko aaine se door rakh,
chaar ghoont maar tu kyun sota hai,
aye dil, tu kyun majboor hota hai.

First effort at Hindi. Wrote this just when I was done with Zindagi Milegi.. which as a movie, didn’t like much, but the poems were worth!
aarzo humein le aayi ye kahan,
manzilein nazar aati naa yahan.
kahan kho gaye hain hamare raaste,
sab kucch hai paas magar khud se door hain.
mehsoos karna seekh ehsaason ko bhool gaye,
neher mein kood, nadi ko tarashne lage.
chalna seekhne se pehle daudne lage hum,
jaagne se pehle sona seekhne lage.
kahan chale hain hum, kya hum talash rahe,
rasta haath lekar, manzilein kyun bhool gaye.

what transcends and what aspires,
of hopes, inhibitions, dreams and desires.
music has but failed in its course,
playing a sodomy, a vernacular intercourse.
disturbed thoughts, distorted dreams,
alive and kicking, a distant discourse.
what inspires and what deviates,
stuck on a crossroads, the mind fluctuates.
one cannot run, one cannot hide,
customary silences, a blessing in disguise.
what is love and what is life,
do we get the returns for the investment we desire?
carnal pleasures seem a thing of past,
someone to talk to, a protagonist’s desire.
jaded self, a weary mind,
where does he turn to, the clock is way past time.
