Fake Shine.

Whole the year i waited for christmas,
wished if months got skipped,
but they didn't

December came , i prayed,
may soon start the celebration,
but it didn't

on the eve i slept in the hope that, Santa would come,
but he didn't .

same the day , my dad came,
with some gifts,chocs, and cake

then i realized ,my Santa
was  with me all the time
why i waited for the fake shine.

Black-Dot Scenario.

Screaming with pain,
begging to spare,
calling for help,
but none for her

They relentlessly ruined her life,
she got numbed for a while

she was nearing the end
still god has holded her hand

when her voice,
reached the crowd
we protested out loud
hang the nefarious!
hang the nefarious!

but ignored were our demands,
stubborn we are

we moved forward,
but silent was the house

brutally they beaten us,
witnesses our wounds

 problem isn't solved yet
Black dot scenario ,we call that.

(based on the Damini rape case)

Lady of a soldier

 I am lady of a soldier,
 pale , lone , afficted,
dying every moment  for a glance

 Boxed were the things , my feelings
 Imbecile i was , who chose him
 Imbecile i was , who thought like this

 Always answered those interlopers
 Whom i called Friends forever
 Each answer take me close to my soldier

 My mind provoke my heart , Leave him leave him!
 His every Attempt strengthened my, feeling feeling

 Daily i sat on the pew
 praying god for his wellness
 But he listens to me a few

 His conscientiousness make me feel proud
 But for what i worried about,
 See , she is 'lady of a soldier'
 Says the world around

Childhood

Entered the world of guile,
my childhood, better was the time

none to scold us for the rove,
rowdy kids we were of our roads

out the reach of envy,
simply happy were our minds

became the marionette of others hand,
pale , dejected , still , we stand

we all friends were alike,
even same were the cycles we ride

whom i show doleful face of mine,
none to hug even for a while

entered the world of guile
my childhood, better was the time.

आखिरी ख़त

माँ पढ़ लेना ये आखरी ख़त मेरा,
जा रहा हूँ छोड़कर यहीं साथ तेरा 

कर देना दफ़न इस दर्द को यहीं ,
मिलूँगा ज़रूर आगे इस राह में कहीं 

माँ अब मुस्कुरा भी दे ज़रा ,
कर दिया पिता जी का मैंने सपना जो पूरा 

करना तो चाहता था अभी बहुत सी बात ,
पर न दे सकेगा यह शरीर अब मेरा साथ

न होना मायूस तू इस ख़त को पढके ,
जा रहा हूँ अब तेरी इस दुनिया को छोड़के
