Happy New Year 2020!



आओ लिखे हम-तुम 
कुछ नयी बातें 
आओ रचें हम-तुम 
कुछ नयी यादें। 

बीते सालों पर आओ करे पर्दा 
देखे सूरज जो उग रहा 
गुनगुनी धूप में आओ बैठे हम-तुम 
देखे ख्वाब एक नया सा। 

जो बीत गए है लम्हें 
फिसल गए जो हाथों से पलछिन
आओ भूल चले उन्हें हम-तुम 
बनाये लक्ष्य एक नया सा।  

जीवन चलते समय-सा
कुछ समेटता-सा कुछ पीछे छूटता-सा 
आओ छोड़ चले वो बातें 
बनाये जीवन एक नया सा। 

बहुत हुआ मेरा-तेरा 
जीवन में करे कुछ नेक सा 
आओ कर्मभूमि-से इस जग में 
बनाये मोक्ष कुछ नया सा 
एक नयी उमंग, नए हौसले सा। 

Wishing one and all a very happy and blessed New Year!

BROKEN...



The artifact you held on to your heart
shatters in a million tiny pieces,
You stand there and wonder
How to bring it together 
Where do you start?
Which corner you begin picking with?
Which direction you go?
Which piece to preserve?
and what to let go!

Amidst all this uncertainty 
You are blatantly aware
It won’t be the same marvel again
As it used to be once,
The strength the grace
It won’t anymore exhibit,
May be the pieces will
Make a mosaic of its own,
But won’t be quite the same!

No matter how broken it looks
Even after piecing up,
Remember it was once yours-
A thing of joy, and peace,
Hold on to it,
Face it eye to eye with head held high
with strength in your heart and
a prayer on your lips!

That’s what it’s all about...Hope amidst pieces.

The Fire Within!



Pristine, pure
the glorious fire within,
Succumb to it
make it your very own!

Do not be scared
do not lash it away,
Let it burn you,
and consume you fully!

Kins, words, promises
signs of all things transient,
None holds you,
you belong to none, in effective truth!

Let your eyes show it
let your heart feel it,
Let your breath hold it
the fire within!

Let it kiss you,
pore by pore,
Inch by inch of your existence
submit yourself without a doubt!

Embrace, hug, kiss it
the best possible you could!
The fire is all your flesh & blood,
All that you are, all that you could be!

Devour it, the FIRE WITHIN!

'While I Trek With You!'



The swirling melodious terrains 
of white water,
The gushing cool breeze
flowing all along,
the scent of bright wild flowers
flaring up the senses,
The touch of the bees & flies
making their way,
The rubbing of our palms
as we walk together,
The glimpses of yours I steal
while you capture,
The constant murmur of my heart
ready to gallop on your single note...


...is all I paint,
is all I feel,
is all I breathe
while I spend my life with you!
