ऐ मौत तू ज़िन्दगी से ख़ूबसूरत है क्यों ?

NOTE: English translation is given below the Original...

तेरे ही आग़ोश में हर एक को सूकून मिलता है 

ऐ मौत तू ज़िन्दगी से ख़ूबसूरत है क्यों ?

न चाह कर भी हर कोई तेरे आग़ोश में सिमट जाएगा 

हर पल डर का मगर एहसास दिलाता है क्यों?

Tere hi aagosh mein har ek ko shukoon milta hai

Ae mauth tu zindagi se khoobsurat hai kyun?

Na chah kar bhi har koi tere aagosh mein shimat jayega

Har pal darr ka magar ahsaas dilata hai kyun?

Everyone finds solace in your embrace

O Death! Why you are so beautiful than Life?

No one likes you yet everyone will ultimately be embraced in your arms

But why do you scare everyone with your presence?

THE FLOW

I will not fight with the flow...
You have designed for me to flow...
I know there will twists & turns...
Ups and downs...
Blockages for a while...
Ultimately, I will meet to submerge in you...
Forever in boundless joy and energy!

... because they were poor villagers!

No one to burn candles...
No one to protest on the street, any more...
No one to hold any fancy placards
Reading ‘Rape is not Fun’

... because these three innocent children were poor villagers!

What?
What was their crime?
What was their fault?
Just aged 6, 9 & 11 –
To be brutally Raped
and to be mercilessly Murdered
Murdered by the Demons
Created by the Civilized Society.

... because the three innocent children were poor villagers?

Yes... I know, there will be no Protest,
No Speedy Action by Police,
No Fast Track Justice,
No one will be seen on the streets
Shouting aloud for justice for them,
No laws will be redrafted
NO ONE will demand Death Sentence for the culprits.

... because the three innocent children were poor villagers!

Intelligently enough,
The CM has purchased the Silence with 10 lakhs
The grieving Widow Mother has been orchestrated
By the very System
to divert the case on her Mother-in-law...
All in the name of being females!

Because... the Raped, Murdered children aged 6, 9 & 11 were Poor Villagers
Because... the Raped, Murdered children aged 6, 9 & 11 were Poor Villagers…

P.S: The poem is the anger within me about the Nation's people, the Evil System... who have closed their Conscience, Eyes and Humanity... because these three innocent children were poor.

पल वो पल

हर पल जो बीता कल
बन गए वो लम्हें
वो लम्हें हर पल कल के
सताए आज भी मुझे क्यों

यही सोच आज मैं
डूब गया मैं कल में

हर पल जो बीता कल
बन गए वो लम्हें
वो लम्हें हर पल कल के
सताए आज भी मुझे क्यों

OCEAN OF LOVE

They come one by one, oh so consistently!
Like waves hitting the shores, oh so constantly!
I am amazed how the bubbles vanish every time!
Coz all I do is flow like a fish in the Ocean of Love!

TREASURE

From the abyss

Tiny sparkling pearls

Rolled down the slopes

One by one

To form a stream

Red molten of lava

Erupts finally from within

Fearlessly I allowed

Feeling the crystals of salt

Drying up my wrinkled skin

Like a bird

Soaring high in open sky

I spread my wings

To glide and glide

Gauging the dark abyss from above

Darkness engulfing with fondness

So many unsolved mysteries

Lost in the oblivion

I wiped the crystallized salts

To allow my lips to hold the treasure intact

LONGING...

Every moment was such a joy!

As we shared our lives

Togetherness was so much fun

With no pretentious lies

I know you do

As much as I want

To enjoy togetherness

In joys of love !

I long so much to hold you in my arms

Kissing you softly in passion

Yes, I really wish to embrace you forever

To never let you go far away ever again

I know you miss

As much as I do

To share the magical moments

Of togetherness in blissful love !
