Raahi Chaand


महकी हुई सन्नाटों में वो चाँद आहें भरता है आज भी 
महफ़िलों के उन चँद रंगों को वो निहारता है आज भी 
हैं ये दिन हसीन और शामें जवाँ अब भी मगर 
नर्म मुस्कानों में वह बातें याद करता है आज भी 

थे कुछ अनकहे से लफ्ज़ अब भी बाकी शायद 
उन लफ्ज़ों की शिकायत निगाहों से करता है आज भी

नज़र की नज़ाकत चाहे पलकों से घिरे रहें मगर 
तारों को रोशनी के किस्से बेबाकी से सुनाता है आज भी 

किस्तों में बादलों से मिलना होता है कभी कभी मगर 
उनसे समंदर का हाल-ए-दिल वो पूछ लेता है आज भी 

वह लहरें जो बेक़रारी में क़रार ढूँढती थीं तब 
उनके शिकवे में दास्तानों की गूँज सुनता है आज भी 

कुछ कहानीयों में राहों का आगाज़ रहता होगा शायद 
हर कहानी के मोड़ में जाने क्या राह तलाशता है आज भी 

रास्तों मे अक्सर भटकते होंगे राही मगर 
पर क्या भटका राही मंजिलो से ख़फ़ा रहता है आज भी?

Ek Baar Aur

वह सिर्फ एक तस्वीर थी
या तसव्वुर की कोई परछाई,
मालूम न था मुझे ठीक से,
फिर भी ...
एक बार और मुड़ के देखने की इच्छा हुई  ।

है वही आसमान सी खुशबू
आंखों में कशिश...जैसे सागर की गहराई,
शायद हजारों बार देखा,
फिर भी...
एक बार और मुड़ के देखने की इच्छा हुई ।

लबों पे वह दिलकश हंसी
जिससे नवंबर की धूप भी थी शरमाई,
भला भूले वह कैसे कोई,
फिर भी...
एक बार और मुड़ के देखने की इच्छा हुई ।

================================================

English Translation:

Was it just a picture
Or a figment of my imagination 
I was not too sure
Still..
I wished to see it once more.

I could smell the fragrance of the sky in there
Those alluring eyes...feels like the depths of the ocean
Have witnessed it a thousand times maybe
Still...
I wished to see it once more.

The lips adorned that charming smile
Which makes even the November sunshine to shy away (or feel less confident)
Who would ever forget that
Still...
I wished to see it once more.

An Evening Promise

Amidst an evening of bliss,
intertwined with thoughts,
as vibrant as the colors
painted across the horizon,

The Sky blushed,
as the Sun kissed goodbye,
with a gift of the stars and the moon,
and the promise of a new day.

Forever.

A little something:

Written as a reply to a prompt  : "Evening".

Destined



It was probably
Just another afternoon sky
But every aspect of it
Reminded me of You
Smiling preciously
While nonchalantly stroking Your hair
With a blushing warmth
Adorning your eyes
And I realized one more time
You are the destined journey my smile takes
To find a home in my eyes everytime.

Kiss of Adore

As the evening glided
With a soothing pace
The memories whispered
Of tales twined in pastel green lace

Chronicles of the breathing sky
And memoirs of the balmy breeze
Narrated the stories of the one
Who lives across the seas

It reminded me of your dreamy smile
And the sweet kiss of adore
And of glorious moments that we treasure

Chocolate Tone

The sweetness in that tone
Is fascinating
Like the white overhead sun
Inching along the silhouette of the sky

It had the aroma of exuberance
And just enough splendor
To touch the soul
And radiate a smile

You would not know
How that chocolate like tone
Can sparkle a zillion emotions.

Of a Rose

The blue morning air
Smiled with a calming flair
Witnessed the dawn arise
Blushed as she breathed the
Fragrance in the skies

There was a sweetness there
That was quite rare

The ray of sun looked at her eyes
And he replied with a smile

For you sweetheart I chose
The sweet scent of a rose

Enshrined

As the tresses of the grass
Swayed with the purple wind
She looked up at the sky
As the day reclined

I will see you soon
Replied the sky
Until then... 
There will be the stars
And the moon

She thought with a smile
The stars are lovely
And the moon is kind
But you sweetheart
Is the only one
Forever enshrined

Autumn Skies

There is sunshine in your smile
And sparkling stars in your eyes
Across miles.....
Yet every while
I unfold memories of you
Looking at the autumn skies.

------------------------------------
Thoughts that led to the poem:

Have you seen the sky recently?
It is so beautiful! Isn't it?
Every moment spent looking up at the sky
somehow feels... surreal! Does it not?
As if you have stardust in your eyes...
As if you can feel someone's essence
In your Heartbeat...
As if you are mesmerized by the
Dance of Destiny..

The Mesmerizing Sunset

For here the sun might be setting
But the promise of a new day
Must also be fulfilled
The other side waited eagerly
As the sun was making the transition
From a mesmerizing sunset here
To a glorious morning somewhere else.

Blue Sky, white fleeces of clouds
Greeny trees and the breezy shroud
Turqoise Sea and the golden sand
Mystical colors of nature reverend!
