CAPTURED

Anxious, sweating, breathless,
Every bit of me felt worthless.
Was crying out your name,
As I saw you getting out of the frame.
Woke up hastily, saw me in the mirror,
Tiny drops of sweat, all over.
A bit fine realizing it was a dream,
Yet my mind filled with limitless screams.
A scream "why am I intoxicated"?
A scream "why am I so dependent"?
A scream "No, I don't want to fall",
A scream "how have you captured my claustrophobic soul"?

MAQAM-E-JAAN

Keh du kya aaj sabko kya maqaam rkhte ho tum? Meri bechain si zindagi me sukoon ki shaam lagte ho tum. Mene Khuda ki jo ibadat ki ussi ka  anjaam lgte ho tum, Jo baar baar pdhna chahu wo khush payam lgte ho tum. Dil pe nashe se chadhe ho kya koi jaam ho tum? Din raat muh pe rehta h jo bewajah wo naam ho tum. Mere liye behad khaas ho chahe auro k liye aam ho tum, Me ek musafir hu mera qayam ho tum. Is nazm k Ikhtetam pazeer bas yhi kehna chahti hu, Me rahu chahe na rahu mujhme davaam ho tum.

THAT NIGHT

Image
 was 11 at night, you knocked at my window,  The moonlight was forming your perfect shadow.  I let you in and we went towards my bed,  And your sparkling eyes started messing with my head.  We couldn't take our eyes off from each other,  The moment was so comforting, we being together.  There was a beautiful silence only the sound of tree,  Suddenly, You grabbed my hand and it felt like a plea,  A plea, to not leave this hand ever,  A plea, to last this moment forever.  A plea, to be more close to each other,  A plea, to feel the souls of each other.  And the moment was interrupted disappointingly,  By my mum's voice, who asked me to sleep quickly.  I had to cut the call, couldn't even wish you goodnight,  "Why i have to imagine the moments, instead of living it", I sighed.  I know some people find these things juvenile,  No complains from them, cause they haven't lived it for a while....

COME BACK

You tried to be  there for all, when there was none.  There were times when you picked up the fallen one. You were there as a light when someone got into the dark,  There were times you fed the hungry dogs whenever they bark.  You were there when any poor or weak was in need,  There were times when you fought for the injustice and made the justice take lead.  You were there when someone needed a shoulder to cry,  There were times when you couldn't take any wrong doing in front of your eyes.  You were there to let old people be first in a queue,  There were times when you showed money can't overpower you.  You were there to offer seat to a pregnant woman or disabled,  In your time, on the name of equality, feminism was not labelled.  You were there to be the cotton if someone bleed, I wished you would be the only one for this world to lead.  But now, you seem to be nowhere,  After every inhuman incident i c...
