उरी न जरी
उरली आता
शब्दांची
निर्जीव आठवण..

सांज दाटुनी येता
दरवळते
अजुनी जिवंत
तुझ्या स्वच्छंद
अबोलपणाची साठवण!

Waiting

A drop waits
For a moment
On the tip
Of a leaf
So sweet its anticipation
Helplessly reflecting
the entire sky!

I can't wait for you,
That long!

Die on me
O Beloved!

For only your death
Can solve this illusion
Of love!

Flee, flee
From the places
I search for you!

So that I may know.. 

What has silenced
These huge mountains

That I may drink
Not the water
But the eternal novelty
Of the gushing streams

That I may fill my lungs
Till they burst
With that which inhabits
The windless mountain tops

That I may sway,
Sway till I release
The mad laughter
That spills from the tree tops
And rises and falls
with the dust!

Blue skies
Are empty
Rain clouds
Unrelenting
Fill my eyes

Shadows play often with light
And the breeze with the leaves
But when I ask who plays on my heart strings
They all remain silent..


I can't see
And I can't hear
But wherever I look
I see them all eyes closed
Drowning in the song

No music
No words
Not even a singer here.
This song is that simple!

I took all our memories
(my hands don't tremble anymore!)
And blew through them
Till tiny specks of joy flew
And disappeared into light!

Then extracting the pain
To the very last drop
Carefully bottled it
For years to remain..

Hidden from light
Yet not forgotten,
Waiting for years to roll by
And turn it into wine!

This gush of wind
Sudden and simple!

Transporting
All that has fallen
From nowhere
To nowhere

Tears of this simple shock
Flow unstoppably
At the silent and endless
Uncovering
Of nothing!

बहुत जताई
मोहब्बत,
बस करो दिल में अब,
ये प्रेम की बरसात।

जो बह सकता था
बह गया वो सब कुछ,
अब तो आसू भी
खालीही बहते है।

हो अगर
दिलवाले सचमुच,
इस दिल को
मिटाने की तरकीब बता।

रात्र आणी दिवस

रात्रीला दिवसाची आठवण येते
दिवसाला मात्र रात्रीचा विसर पडतो,
तर मग दिवस, हे रात्रीला पडलेले
जणू स्वप्नच नव्हे काय?

दिवसाच्या उन्हापासून
झाडाखाली सावली मिळते.
रात्रीच्या चांदण्यापासून
वाचण्याची सोय नाही!

दिवसाचे असत्य पेलायचे असेल
तर रात्री अशाच,
जागून काढाव्या लागणार! 

लगता था यहाँ,
तुमसे,
मिलना और बिछडना,
दोस्तों का अक्सर
आना जाना,
चिजों का पाना
और खोना है।

ये सब तो झूठ है।

यहाँ
न किसी का
आना जाना,
पाने और खोने का
सपना पुराना,
मेरे दिल को
फिर भी अब तक
इसीने सँवारा
है।

यहाँ तो बस
मेरा
कभी होना,
और कभी न होना,
सदियों से
सपने को सुहाना
बनाए है।

Home

Bliss is my home

And the way back home
Need not be searched
Tired feet will find their way
On their own!

Secret

My tears are a secret
They hold my secret,
secret from me,
How to let them fall!

Hush.
Not a word.. Not a word,
Just this not saying,
Not just says it
But says it  all!
