हँसी-ख़ुशी


होठों पे हँसी
खोखली सब ख़ुशी
आँखें उदास

यादें


खोली किताब 
हो गईं ताज़ा यादें 
सूखा गुलाब

St. Pine




Tresses  flowy,  swaying   beard,    
In meditation
perched on a cemetery, saintly Pine
centenarian!

रू-ब-रू


चलो अच्छा हुआ  हम
ख़यालों  में  लड़  लिए
होते जो रू--रू, नाहक़
तमाशे का  सबब बनते.

मुक्ताकाश


स्थूल रह गया नीचे
अस्तित्व छूट गया पीछे
और अब तो तू भी नहीं
सिर्फ़ मुक्ताकाश
अनंत शून्य. . चैतन्य.

कोई वासना, कामना,
शिक़ायत, प्रार्थना,
आभार ही.
कौन करे ?
किससे ?

क्षण निरन्तर नहीं
कैसे रोको उसे ?
आया और गया
घटना घट गयी
बस.. बात ख़त्म  हो गयी !

*This  poem is dedicated to Purba Chakraborty, whose ‘Paragliding…’ inspired me to write this on one of my out-of-body experiences in deep meditation in remote Himalayas.

*With apologies to my Guru who advises us not to share these…sorry Boss, the writer in me couldn’t resist the temptation of wording a part, and overpowered the seeker in me…can’t hide from You, You are omniscient! We err to be forgiven by Your benevolence.

बेबस


भागती धार 
बंधी किनारे देखे 
बेबस नाव

Paris blasphemy


The ping of bullets
lulled the tinkle of Champagne flutes
Took over the lilt of violin
the booming  guns

The red wine oozed
out of burgundy lips
To mahogany ceiling
the caviar flung

chanel No.5 reeked
of blood smoke
Stunk of burnt flesh
Pour Homme

The half written poem
Dried in fingers
The song in throat
got strangled

Breath in breath
Whirring hearts
Abrupt silence..
Paris blasphemy! 


* This poem is dedicated to peace loving people all over the world, and is my tribute to innocent victims of the atrocities of extremists.

दीवार-5


उपजाऊ  बन जाए
कहीं सीमेन्ट का गारा
फूट आएं
कहीं अंकुर
तुम्हारे बोये  हुए
काँच में !
सावन से डरता हूँ.
