Ye Kaisa Jhokha hai

Ye kaisa jhokha hai hawa ka
Jisme baithe chale ja rahe hai
Tum aur main?


Kaha se aya yeh jhokha
Aur kaha le ja raha hai ye humhe?
Kuch bhi nehi hai humhe pata
Par itna sa hai maaloom,
Isme baithe chale ja rahe hai
Tum aur main.


Na dikh raha hai manzil
Na yaad hai humhe apna lakshya;
Hai sirf ek dil ka awaaz,
Jispe bharosa karke
Baithe chale ja rahe hai
Tum aur main.


P.S. : This is my first Hindi poem & Hindi is not my mother tongue. So correct me if I'm wrong anywhere.

Pain Of Separation

How i wish i was someone
Beyond the barriers of time & space,
With the ability to displace myself
Anywhere anytime
In a second or two.

And then, i could've reached you
Whenever i desired.
Neither distance nor time
Could stand in the way
Of our union.

But then it occurs to me
All of a sudden that
The passion of the union then
Might not have been the same
Without a month long of yearning.
For the joy of things easily achieved
Is never as satisfactory as the joy
Received after the pain of separation.

The Dream

You had a dream;
A dream we shared,
A dream you trusted me with
And, asked me with a lot of hope
To fulfill this dream for you.

But I am really sorry
From my very heart,
For I have failed you miserably
In the worst possible way I could.

I do not ask for forgiveness
Neither for a second chance
As I know, I am worthless enough
To realise our dream,
Or rather your dream
For I am petty enough
To dream such dreams.

The Alley

Its dark out there
In that alley of yours,
Which serves as a time saver
To your destination.

In spite of my denials,
I know you will take it;
For you are brave
And courageous enough
To deal with whatever
Comes in your way.

You take the path
And emerge as well
Safe & sound.
But lo!
You have changed.
You seem to be altogether
A different person now.
And, if you ask me
Who is better?
Honestly, I don't know
But all I can say is
I am sorry,
For I am unable
To love you,
Anymore.

What seems like an eternity

Let the lights dim out
And the candles blow off.
Let's sit in the dark today
Staring out at each other.
Let the vision pierce through the darkness
And the silence fill in our ears,
As a strange calmness spread around;
While time just seems to stop
For what seems like an eternity.

PADE Post #4 (Theme- Word)

Stop inhibiting yourself.

Let the words flow

Out of your mind,

Through a pen.

And stare at wonder

To the difference it makes

Both to the world,

And to your heart.
