Pseudo words make a mirage

In a perfectly bordered quarantine

Insomnia strikes back

Hallucination at its best

Guy de Maupassant ‘dwells within

As dark as a Kafka

The juke box rattles with un cleared coins

Still singing the song of a ghetto

The ballads take a back seat with a smirked face

Insanity I love thee-the call of the anthem

The above- a peep in my mind where the chemical imbalance has its own cadence set- Almitra loses her mind

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…

Millions of sounds parading through the mind lobby screaming to be heard and stretching them out of the shut vault believed that everything was just all right, I breathed in the manner I always did, nothing was abnormal.
Allz Well

A paradoxical moment with a catastrophic lining

Did it look like my silver moon brimming?

A walk by the brook, with miles ahead

Residue of the past with an altered self

Gush of venom at the feet of the lion

Dreamy eyes at the healer’s refuge

Soothed forever…

At the feet of the merlion

The scarlet floor stared back with a mocking gaze…

The creation breathed its last…

The residue- an inanimate mass

The beat deaf, the pulses frozen


A perfect murder....
