IT'S FINE

It's fine to break up
It's fine to fall and get up
It's fine to cry aloud
It's fine to shy away
And back out
It's fine to try and fail
Again and again
It's fine to love
And not get it back
It's fine if you follow
one way track
It's fine to be childish
And it's fine to not always
accomplish

Everything is fine
Until you try
Until you see the sky
Until you not loose hope
Until you not stop believing
in your scope
Until you have the zeal
Until you keep rotating
in the great wheel
Until you not stop
believing in destiny
Until your efforts
are the testimony
of your devotion
and your determination

कुछ कहना था

कुछ कहना था
बस कह ना सकी
फुट पड़ा है
शब्दों का ज्वालामुखी
बस मैं सह ना सकी

यह जग है झूठा
मेरा गम है सांचा
मरीचिका सी है
रिश्तों की डोरी
तुम्हारी मेरी

कूटनीति खा गई
मेरे अपनों को
और मैं बेबस
लाचार, मूक सी
कहीं खो गई

दूर बैठे समुंदर में
भी तूफान है
रैना कली है
तारे रूठे बैठे है
आसमान खाली है

जो खिड़कियां खुली,
आज़ाद थी
आज घुटन में बंद हो
गई है
सांस मेरी हैरान है
और मन परेशान है

क्या सब बोल दूं?
क्या बोल दूं
तुम सब हो पाखंडी
तुम सब हो रूढ़िवादी
और
मेरी आवश्यकता है
केवल आज़ादी?

क्या मेरा सन्नाटा
क्या मेरी चुप्पी भी है
एक मुखौटा?
क्या मेरे शब्दों
की आज़ादी
होगी मेरी बेक़द्री?
या
खोल देगी सालों
से बंद वो काल कोठरी?

कुछ कहना था
बस कह ना सकी
फूट पड़ा है
शब्दों का ज्वालामुखी
बस मैं सह ना सकी
बस मैं सह ना सकी

MAHAVIRA

When goodness happens, nature appreciate you by showering blossoms, rain drops, dews under your feet, breeze in your face, spring and in many other ways. Existence celebrate your goodness. ( MAHAVIRA)

Mahavira


Blossoms,
They go on showering
They keep on blessing
They keep on celebrating
For all the Mahaviras
That have happened
For all the Mahaviras
That are happening
For all the Mahaviras
That will happen

We all have Mahavira
Lying deep inside us
Recognise him
He is ingenious
He is righteous
And blossoms
They will shower on you
They will bless you
Existence will celebrate you

True Love

If there is something
called love that too
the one which is true
I have cracked the code
I never knew
Until you entered
Into my abode

I have been encountered
By love thrice
But this time it is unlike
My previous ones
Were beautiful delusions
to my utter surprise

Here I am not first
But willfully second
In the pool of boundness
I have submersed,
I reckoned
Here I am simply lost
And you are the foremost

Here I am a creator
Here Almighty
Makes me a maker
Here in my dreams,too
I care about you
I adore you
Here you are in the offing
And I am full of beans


Backbone that groans
Running hormones
Bloating and constipation
Frequent urination
Food aversions
Nasal congestion
Tender, swollen breasts
Frequent moodiness
Painful cramps
It gonna take time
For me to revamp


This is how, I am prepared
For your arrival
For the carnival
I feel helpless at times
My freedom redefines
I may feel exasperated
But I never lamented


I used to think
Flying planes was
The most empowering thing
But carrying you
Made me rethink
You have given me
 nerves of steel
 And wings of zeal

Sometimes I am amused
And totally confused
Am I taking care of you?
Or
 Is it you who keep
 giving me a clue?
When to take
meal and medicine?
And what is good
For my hemoglobin?

When I eat
You are served
Is there any love
That can be above?
When my heart beats
You respond
By beating yours twice
I behold your heart
Into mine
Is there anything
More divine?

Being controlled
Was a bad feeling
It was never appealing
Now
I will control you
And will never let you
Walk the fallacious paths
I walked too.
Finally I know
What true love is
It is you in me
It is you from me
It is you and me
