Life without father


In the childhood

I was not doing anything. 

But I had everything.

In our big family,

with just my father’s earnings. 

Now I am doing everything. 

I have everything, 

but life is not satisfied.

With my big earnings 

and a small family 

that starts and ends with me. 

I used to fight for food

with my sisters and everyone.

Now there is no one to fight. 

The kitchen is full of food, 

But I don’t have that taste in curry.

हम बाबूसाहेब


छपरा के ह इन हम बाबूसाहेब बबुनी
रखनी चोली हम तहरे नाप के.

आ जा कभी हमारा बथान पे
भूल जइबू फिर गइल बाजार में.

पूछ लियह कोई से हमर नाम लेके
पहुंचा दिहि लोग भाभी कह के.

पियवा के प्यार में पागल भइल बिया


पियवा के प्यार में पागल भइल बिया
बिया कुँवार आ घायल भइल बिया.

चुग-चुग के दाना कंगाल कैलख
जाल में फंस के अब बीमार भइल बिया।

१६ ही साल में जवानी लेके
सारा खलिहान के इ धान भइल बिया।

चर -चर के चौरा, जवान भइल
अब खूंटा से बंध के बीमार भइल बिया।

नयना से बिया मासूम बड़ी
कमर से धमान के घाव भइल बिया।

Give me a mirror-2


Give me a mirror
Give me a mirror
I thought your kiss meant everything to me.
I thought you were the world for me.
But I was wrong.
I realized my world is within me
My peace is within me
And not outside.
The outside is just a black hole
Not more than this to me.

The dream I saw with you
It was pure, was true.
But now I understand it was not meant for me,
Not meant for us.
I was just a moon
that was Reflecting you and your world.
Now I want to radiant my inner world.

Bumblebee


O Bumblebee
I am not on a tree
Just come to me
And make me horny.

I am not in my twenties
Nor in the thirties too
But the dream is
To be someone’s queen bee.

The desire is still like the first night
The fire is still like a storm in the sky.
But the dream is
To be someone’s queen bee.
Just come to me
And make me horny.

Framers are crying


In today’s world
we have solar systems
solar house, solar cells, and solar car.
But we don’t care about
tree, plant, and farmers.
Tree as the oldest and natural transformer
that converts solar energy into foods
and farmers as an only engineers
that make those transformers.

In today’s world,
we are going beyond the stratosphere.
We are making digital emotions.
We are having our cloud
But at the cost of our ecosystem.
We talk about globalization as well as global warming.
While we are playing share markets and
growing Bitcoins and cryptocurrency.
Our biosphere is shrinking
Our animals, plants, and framers are crying.

जीवन बंजारा हो


नहीं धरा पे कभी-कहीं, कोई लिए रूप हां तुम सा हो
बनो तुम ही बस मेरी प्रियसी, या फिर जीवन बंजारा हो.
अधरों पे मेरे गिरे अमृत तो बस तुम्हारी अधरों से
या रह जाए अटल प्यास मेरी, या फिर तेरे वक्षों का सहारा हो.

कस्तूरी


मन कस्तूरी, जग दस्तूरी
रिश्तों में है अजब सी दूरी।
बेचैनी ही पाने की
पाकर दूर जाने की
उलझनों में रह गई
उलझ के प्रेम की डोरी।

सब चाहते है प्रेम सच्चा
कोई ना तोड़े विश्वास उनका
पर खुद पे जब आये तो
क्षण में चलते हैं दिलों पे छुरी।

ररुत आती है, जाती है
सावन-पतझड़, बसंत
के रूप लेकर
पर सबके चूल्हे में हैं
विरह की अनंत चिंगारी।

भूलकर सावन में संग झूले
झूलों की मीठी यादें
चला रहें हैं एक दूसरे पे
तेज-त्तेज कुल्हाड़ी।

First two lines were suggested by a friend.

Dogma


With just four alphabets: A, C, G, and T
He created the living world.
From lower fungi to plant,
and from Arthropoda to Homo sapiens,
it is diverse
yet comprises only four alphabets.
The world is so diverse that
we cannot see our faces without a mirror.
Then, how can we see our soul?
The soul is a part of Him.

The Ramachandran plot suggests all
possible configurations of proteins.
Yet, we cannot decode and control
the entropy of the universe.
Then, how can we control our soul?
The soul is a part of Him.

घूँघट 


वो इंतज़ार करते हैं मौसम के बदलने का
हम इंतज़ार करते हैं उनके घूँघट के उठने का.
