Terriorism

Once on a tree lived in harmony,
Leaves and feathers of different colors,
Merrily together they prooned and cooed,
when towards them a hunter strode.

A shot was heard far away,
a close one fell close by
Thanking, Away they flew,
Its not me this time too!

गुफ्तार-इ-दिल

माशूक को मुश्क से पेह्चान लेते हैं
आज भी आहट से उनका मन जान लेते हैं

आँखों में उतर आती है बात दिल की जब
दौर-ऐ-बज्म-ऐ-ग़म-ऐ-रख्श ज़माम देते हैं

माना नजदीकियां नहीं गवारा ज़िन्दगी को अब
गुफ्तार-इ-दिल पर भी अब वो फरमान देते हैं

Duping Life

As the master dyer begins his work
The white plays with the darks
Blue then concocts red with self
As if to weave a cloth of stars

With the sun are set my spirits
With the moon the darkness engulfs
Stifled thoughts bubble with force
Question following a serene day erupts

What is gold worth and silver doths
Several years for silver you pined
Happiness found you for a flash and gone
As now you look for gold unmined

The beast began to go berserk again
I gallop and swallow the golden drops
words, now, can hardly reach the gray
I duped life as eyes give in to the sops

As the master dyer begins his work
The darks play with the whites plush
red lazily gives way to the blue
Ah! new day, new avenues for gold rush!
