अंधेरे की चादर

अंधेरे की चादर खा गयी शॅक्स सारे
हो गये है अधजगे एहसास सारे
खुद ही बाज़ी चल कर
खुद ही से हार जाते है
खो गये है कहाँ?
रात मे होश-ओ-हवास  सारे
मैं उसके लिए जान भी दे देता
दे देता मैं उसके लिए अपनी जान भी
पर इससे भी ज़्यादा मेंहगें
है उसके एहसास सारे
पूछते है लोग रात
मे चाँदनी का सबब
तो खुदा का कभी चाँद
का बहाना कर देते है
कैसे कहे इस अकेले अंधेरे मे
जल रहे है, अरमान सारे, एहसास सारे
अंधेरे की चादर खा गयी शॅक्स सारे
हो गये है अधजगे एहसास सारे

Nobody notices effort
a cleaner puts

Nobody notices effort
a cleaner puts
to clean your bloody mess

they always come
shout at you
for stains that are left

Bitch of Patel Nagar

walking in the evening
from the rock garden
that lay behind these bricks

i saw a black happy dog
waving tail to me
he was classy an exotic dog
not a dog you generally see
for a belt in his neck
and a chain with the master
he looked pretty happy and glee

but then i saw a bitch behind me
she too was a pretty thing
black and white the patches of hair
over her skin, looked but some thin
half the size of blacky
but a little dim

suddenly it clicked, the waving tail
and the smile, weren't for me
they were for that bitch
who made him love his slavery

as the bitch came closer
the smile flourished
the joy was in every twig

but the bitch started barking
as if she was saying
'get the fuck out you greedy starer,
let me pee in peace
 Blacky kept smilling and waving his tail
as if mesmerized by whatever he received
that my friends is real love
was there a 'dog cupid' in the trees?

And then when i felt it was over
the bitch turned and saw
Blacky in his meditative glee

Bitch too felt Blacky's emotion
but barked to make his master please

she was hurt and fucked before
so she can't trust blacky
though she knew he was different
just don't want to take the risk
cause dogs are known to fuck
and ditch every bitch they see in street

and i walked among jungles
of concrete, stones and slavery
talking, walking, shouting freedom
using love to legitimize slavery

walking in the evening
from the rock garden
that lay behind these bricks
i see love of-in-for bondage
and a bondage to set you free  

पहले तुम जलाते हो
रोशनी करने के लिए
अपने ज़हन मे सच
की तलाश मे कही

हम जलते रहते है
आग मे अपनी
ढूँढते हो सुकून
मेरी आह मे कही

जब खाक हो चुके
तो जूस्तजू भी है
क्या जला क्या नही
क्या रहा क्या नही

अगर उपर उठ जाए
इस तमाशे से
तो उन्हे तकलीफ़ है
की दिल मेरा क्यूँ अब

पहले की तरह बहलाते नही
क्यू हर आ पर मेरी
दौड़े चले आते नही
सहम जाते नही

पहले की तरह क्यू
अब प्यार जताते नही
क्यू तुम मुझे अब सताते नही 
मेरी बाहों मे क्यू अब समाते नही

फिर भी उनकी यह अदा
की हम सिर्फ़ दोस्त है
बात उनकी मुझे कभी
यह समझ आती नही

आती है हमे भी आदाएँ कई
पर यूँ सॉफ झूठ बोल कर
मासूम हो जाना, अदा ये
हमे आती नही, सताती नही

बात उनकी मुझे कभी
यह समझ आती नही

filled with heartless people
this world we live in

people who understand
language of only vaue

people for whom
emotions are nothing

people for whom
loyalty is nothing

people for whom
love is nothing

people behind some
imaginary perfection

what weird place is
this world we live in

hating stereotypes we ourselves
have created new weirdos

what kind of perfect inferno
i have made my world in
