us rat

saans ko chum raha tha
ya soch me doob raha tha
kya tha seene me us rat
jisko na jane kab se dhoond raha tha
fatwa jari karta tha har rat ko
chashmadeed bhi mei aur khushamdi bhi meri
par fir bhi na jane kyu,kabhi samajh na paya
ki kya tha us rat ko seene me mere

aisa kya tha seene me mere
jo na samjha paya farak mujhe
mere marne aur jeene me mere
aisi aag kya thi jo ek tadap na jhel pae
aisi bat kya thi jo ek jeevan ne dekh pae

kyu paye dir ne pankh aur kyu hari meri zaban
lafz thak gae khud se,kyu khatam hua har paigam
aisa kya tha us rat me,akhir bataye koyi
ki har rat ab bas dekhta hu khud ko tanga
khoonte pe kahi,har rat seeta hu ek aur sapna
gada hua kabro me kahi

akhir koi bata de mujhe
ki kya tha us rat seene me mere
jisne na fark karne dia
na jeene me aur na marne me mere

Shhh

The pull is on

as a paper all torn

You write first

or let us be written

It is the fall of the pawn

or a king's return

The banter makes sense

or it is just a shrewd pretence

Sly swelled years

Glutton visible in peers

My breath fumbles

as my glance stumbles

As I fail to leave an impact

You all crusade and label me

a concoct

But I am not a brew

nor a whisper

nor the mockery

or the hushed fear

Catch hold of me

cause I am all yet the tip of the spear

Count your days

cause mine are numbered too

Pull up your socks

cause I am dirty too

From head to toe

to leg to temple

I will quiver my brow

To show you the omen

A dungeon seeths and a tornado weeps

cause they know that what I feel

And once I feel

You meanest of the mean

Would forget what actually feel,feels...
