भ्रमर

एक अनजान बगीचे में
पागल भ्रमर भ्रमण करता
मिलन सुन्दर कली का हो
बस यही आस क्षण क्षण करता


यौवन पंख उमंग सहित
उस प्रेमी ने उड़ान भरी
हर अंग अंग खिला फूलों का
खिल खिल कर मुस्कान भरी


आलिंगन पर उन पुष्पों का
न उसके मन को था भाया
प्रेम-वश था विवश भ्रमर के
दिल में इक सुन्दर काया


मदमस्त भ्रमर वो मन मेरा
तरसे है प्रेम कली पावन
रंग भर दे सुन्दरता जिसकी
मोहित कर दे मेरा जीवन

The pain of separation

When the dawn breaks
the sun shines down
the wall of brightness
brings the darkness down


But I feel empty
that something is absent
I wonder why am not happy
in this wonderful moment


It was I who broke away
It was I who dismissed you
Is it strange that now I wonder
Is it strange that I miss you

Life

As life got busier and busier,
the time cruised by,
and now I try to catch some moments,
some memories flashing by.

undeterred and adamant,
the stream flows on,
how I wish could stop it,
halt it, but it goes on.

and soon would go the moments
that I would have loved to cherish
those flowers fragrant, the rivers tranquil,
those wonderful relations that I relish.

As I stand at the end of the road
looking back, I say to myself,
the end I ran to never did exist,
the end was in the journey itself.

Marriage

My heart racing fast
sweat on my forehead
My ears were oblivious
to what was being said.

I stood there stupefied
wondering what to do
what state of madness
this situation brought me to.

The nerves were a wreck
I wanted to run far away
I could not bear the burden
of responsibilities coming my way

Then she appeared before me
all demure and shy
A subdued smile on her lips
probably a tear in her eye

Her beauty was enchanting
and my heart skipped a beat
Her lips so full of life
her voice so sweet.

And suddenly the world changed
and I did not want to run away
I wanted to hold her, kiss her
and make love to her all day.

I could not live without her
that I came to know for sure
I could take on the world if she was with me
and suddenly I wasn't afraid any more.

Night-out song

नींद आ रही है
मुझे नींद आ रही है
नींद आने से
थक जाने से
उबासी आ रही है

कल भी मैं न सोया
और आज भी सो न पाऊंगा
ऑफिस में रहूँगा
घर वापस जा न पाऊंगा

नाईट आऊट मारूं
काम से हारूं
उदासी छा रही है

नौकरी करते करते
मैं तो सोना ही भूल गया
अब ऐसे दिन बीते
खाना पीना भी भूल गया

दिल बहलाऊं
और समझाऊं
कमाई तो आ रही है
