Autumn at her best- stark & naked
Unmasked and bare
Meeting the eyes of the blazing star
Spitting lavas from its devouring tongue
No balm…nothing to calm
Reading itself a stinging psalm
Rising heat from the tar beneath
Wounding, bruising but reaching every pore
I close my eyes…feeling her within…how one we feel?

Hum chod aye tera karvaan …ek sansani si phaili hai

Wo jo insaan sa dikhta hai…magar saanse bechta phirta hai

Damdiyo me shamaye pighli hai…mushaiyore me khak si phaili hai

Hum chod aye tera karvaan …ek sansani si phaili hai

Sisakti hui raton me ad nange shabdo ka dera hai

Tere sazde me sar to kya atisho ko udte dekha hai

Hum chod aye tera karvaan …ek sansani si phaili hai

Ek tuti hui bartan mein mera china hua nivala hai

Laut sake to lauta de, teri raah me meri aankhe takti hai

Hum chod aye tera karvaan …ek sansani si phaili hai

Ek mazar hai yeh,

Teri rehguzar hai yeh

Bhatke bhi to kaha

Tera gulistaan hai yeh....

And they cried for you, for you My Deaf God,

Do you breathe or even you got killed….


Rug rug mein bahta lahoon

Aaj beh raha hai nalo mein

Is kafne jahan ko le

Pukaru me tujhe kis kone me

Every soul is burning and so are their bodies

All that you can hear now is the sound of calamities


Meri Azaan teri kehkasha

Teri rooh kispe meherbaan

Is Chikti chillati lashon me

Mera vajood hua bewafa

And they cried for you, for you My Deaf God,

Do you breathe or even you got killed….


This song sprung from all the blood that was flowing through the lanes of our country, the blood of our brethren who were massacred brutally in the bomb blasts…
