अकेलेपन क़ा स्वाद
स्वादिष्ठ है यूँ क़ि
विराजमान हो मन में
अब केवल तुम
जिस के परे न खींच सकें हैं यहाँ
कोई नर या नरेंद्र
वासना या दर्द की लकीरें
असत प्रीत के नाम पर  -
तो सम्भालो मुझे इस पल
की मुझे समतल
धरती की तलाश है
जहाँ भावनाओं के उतार चढाओ
की बाधा रुकावट न बने.

You and I
we came
from the very Same
here and now
in common time and space
to behold and listen
hold hearts and hands
to tango life's dance
together....

you ask

why i turn to you?

i say

coz i believe 

i was turned by Him to you

and I know

as a shepherd

will never mislead

his flock,

a father never misguide

his errant child
never will He lead astray
when having lost the way
we suffer in trial, travail
and seek
that we be shown
our purpose and His cause -

so its been

when neck deep in woe

not knowing who's friend

who's the foe

I was gently swirled around -
Grace chose to show
His face

to behold, reach out,
stay afloat 
then anchor

and remarkably in doing so
The Creator

with ease delivered both
in single masterstroke!

To try

alone is all that's human -

this ability 

to persevere, press on

through adversity

we pursue

with what was endowed

in promise of nirvana

.......

And so I do

and do again

not to head

for lush of heaven

it's only 

to be one with You.

ठोकर लगी
तो गिरे
फिर उठे
फिर चले
कुछ यूं कि -
थिरकने लगी ज़िन्दगी!
