Pitcher Perfect

Picture, a pitcher of glass, Into which, all your emotions pass, You fill in all your sorrows, all your joys, The pitcher holds them, so you may rejoice. Cheer the pitcher pours, in times mellow, Fear the pitcher holds, when you wanna let go. In all its whims and all its transparency, You fail to see, the pitcher's capacities, The pitcher drowns in its own blood, You blame the pitcher, letting itself flood. Made if the pitcher was of a mirror, Maybe then would you reflect on its sinner.

Deep Ends

Ends tie us together, Ends move us part, Ends mark the start, Of an untrodden path. Ends meet, Ends knot, Ends leave a mess, In joy once brought. Ends held onto, Ends let go, Ends burn down, By poison of ego. Ends calm, Ends make cry, Absence ends, Present flies by, All that begun, Shall meet an end, Ends give meaning, To life's tangled thread. In the end, Tears need mends, Before being dust, Where all ends blend.

Raahi Raah ke...

Do raahi, Jinki raahe takrai, Takrakar ulajhti hi jayi, Kabhi na alag ho payi, Gaate gaate, Nayan mil jaate, Chipte chipaate, Hoth uljhaate. Ek dusre banaaye ik yaad, Wahi bani pyaar ki buniyaad, Din na dhalte, bin unki pukaar, Kaash hum, na hote nadiyo paar. Din beetei, hue pure saal, Lafzon mei aate hue yaad, Kaate kai lamhe, din ya raat, Chahte hue uske zulfon mei haath. Ab kaate lamhei, kaate pal, Raahei rahi uljhi dar dar, Raahi nahi sulhenge iss chahat parr, Yahi hai mohabbat ka starr

Is it enough?

  Eagerly awaits, A lover at opening gates, Perchance lost in this maze, Will he find his precious gaze. Returning his bottoms, just an excuse, To yet again be his only muse. Eyes glazed with honey, Reminder of life's game, unfair yet funny. A child, upset at his smallest (non)vices In a moment, forgetting all his selfless sacrifices. Illiterate in the art of reading a room, Someday will be the beginning of his doom. Gestures, the language of his lover's love, Travelled the seven seas, to show him a turtle dove. Only dreamt of sharing meals, Here he is casually splitting bills. Held hands and shared wolves, Such love was difficult to be understood. Yet n'ver could they apart drift, Cuz wolves, in packs they live. Eyes tired, yet held grace and grievance, For bridges burning, fueled by arrogance. Night changes, they part, A question remains, "Dost thou deserveth, the man that says 'dust thou art'?"

Nazre Churana

Apni nigaho mei, paane mujhko Lad kar aaya, pure jahan se woh, Apne surile geet sunane mujhko. Mere aangan ki shaan sa woh. Garmi ke pehle ras se meethe uske bol, Kanha ki Bansari si madhur uski dhun, Nawabo sa uska lihaaz, Maaf karu usse sauu khoon. Ek akela, zulfo ka parda, nain dhake, Uska ishq, badhta hi rehta, bin thake Dil mei ghol amrit mere, Vish khud peete hue. Apna maan apno ko apnaya, Sapna mera sakaar karaya Chori chupe nazre milaye, Bin bataye, dil chura le jaye. Naino mei dub jau, jaise ganga ghat, Chappan bhog lage, uske saath daal bhaat. Muskaan jaise khadaan kohinoor, Shant ho jaye rooh rooh. Pal hi pal ka saath, Thaame haatho haath, Jaise janm janm judai, Ke baad mile, dooriyo ko nahi ghai.

Deceit and Disdain

    The dawn of time, A peck on the cheek, Judas to Jesus. The same on emergence of mankind, A dagger through the back, Brutus to Julius. They stay forever the paradigms, Of love, loyalty, envy & trust. A lover's dismay, Revelation of the other's unwelcomed paramour. This very day, could reality be  no more cruel, no bigger horror. Face he could not any more frays, Of life's eternal & inhumane torture. One he believed with his eyes shut, Would tread the world for, till his soles become bones and blood. The heartstring once pulled, now cut, All he sees is a blurry haze as his lost eyes flood The petal once laid, from a blooming bud, Stinging strong thorns on a bed of despair & mud. Believed him, his compadro, He understood him, thought he, Little did he know, That very notion would be the bearer of misery. Why is love hurtful so! He cried, reminiscing his pain & agony. Inferiormost of  hell's troops, Humbles you to the bottomless barrels of sorrow. None c

Embers ablaze

Embers ablaze A present from Prometheus to the mortals, An offense for which he was sentenced to a torment eternal. The gift came in unimaginable shapes and forms, But it always managed to keep his beloved mortals warm. You call them sparks, I call them flames, In the end they're all just mere names. Enlighten a home or engorge a town, Were it a person, you'd regret making them frown. Always to be worshipped, n'ver to be mocked. M eet a dreaded fate t hose that dare it anger, to no shock.  An ever-starved   entity, Bound by no sanity. Burning with the light of a thousand Suns, Leaving behind nothing, restrained by none. Sees no child, nor any old, Steals lives, leaves them dead cold. Dramatic, putting shame to theater. A creation feared by its own creator. The heart of a fierce fest, The place for Goddess Vesta to rest, In the temple it would nest, By its irridescence, the empire was blessed, Sacred to Rome, Doused, along with their home, A parental personality, Witnessed a
