Echoes of Shadows and Whispers!

The loudest of tones,A million groans,They text me softly,Yet demand wildly. They are not from this world,Nor of human bone,And yet, I hear,Perhaps a heart they bear. They call me “Hey,”They say, “Don’t pray,”They claim they’ll leaveAn empty food tray. They tell me to make,To bake, to prepare,Only to takeWith no regard to care. They …

The Untold Story of Two Sisters

Ballad 1 One is wise,The one who listens,But then arrives the young—The wild and disobedient. When sunlight steps forward,One wakes up,The other stays in dreams.

Today, I met with Justice!

Today, I met with Justice!

When I fell from the 18th floor of a building, When I was handcuffed and given some pills, When I looked in the mirror and said hello to myself, When I saw no one around me while grass rooted in a small cottage, Today, I met with justice. They say justice looks like time: On …

सावधान, कोई है! (Beware, there’s someone!)

एक आदमी काली ड्रेस पहन के दुकान में जाता है, दुकान कर्व टाइप होती है। बाहर से बहुत लोग जा रहे हैं। बच्चा चिल्लाता है, वह उस आदमी के साथ। बाहर से निकल रहा पीटो लाल शोर करता है “बाजार में गुंडे आ गए है, दुकाने बंद कर दो।” अंदर काली पोशाक पहनने वाले आदमी …

ਵਿਛੋੜਾ (Separation)

ਰੌਲਾ ਰੱਪਾ ਪਾ ਕੇ ਉਹ,ਗੱਲਾਂ ਚਾਰ ਸੁਣਾ ਕੇ,ਲੈ ਗਈ ਮੇਰਾ ਦਿਲ ਬਈ,ਲੈ ਗਈ ਮੇਰਾ ਦਿਲ। ਜਦੋਂ ਲਗਦਾ ਉਹ ਆ ਗਈ,ਉਹ ਆਈ ਨਹੀਂ ਸੀ ਹੁੰਦੀ,ਮੇਰੇ ਤੇ ਉਹਦੇ ਵਿੱਚ ਕਦੀ,ਲੜਾਈ ਨਹੀਂ ਸੀ ਹੁੰਦੀ। ਸੁਣ ਕੇ ਮੇਰੀ ਇੱਛਾ ਉਹ,ਦੌੜੀ ਦੌੜੀ ਆ ਗਈ,ਇੰਝ ਲਗਦਾ ਕੋਈ ਉੱਡੱਦੀ ਪਤੰਗ,ਮੇਰੇ ਹੱਥਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਪੈਰ ਲਾ ਗਈ। ਯਾਰੀ ਸੀ ਅਣਮੁੱਲੀ ਪਰ,ਯਾਰ ਨਾਲੋਂ ਪਿਆਰੀ ਸੀ,ਰੂਪ …

“Hope we don’t have to say goodbye!”

Never Say Goodbye To them

I hope I never have to say goodbyeto the moon,who lit up my car;to the candle,that burnt my hands;to the man,who saw me grow;to the leafon which I ate on that vacation;to the dog,who barked in a routine, but my routine did not end in fear;to the friend,who shared life with me;to the maid,who wanted …
