परमेश्वर

तुमसे मिलने की चाह से आज दिल भर गया है

पर तुमको ढूँढने के लिए न कोई पता है न निशान है

तुम कभी अपने घर में तो मिले नहीं हो

सोचते है हम तुम कौन हो! कैसे हो! क्या हो!

यादें

याद है अपने छोटे से शेहेर की छोटी-छोटी सी जिंदगियां
वो न कटता सा समय, छोटे मासूम से सपने, वो बेफिक्रियाँ
नुक्कडों और पान की दुकानों पर देश विदेश की बनती बिगड़ती नीतियाँ
आज इस बड़े शेहेर की बड़ी चौडी सड़क के इस पार हैं हम, न जाने हमारी जिंदगी है कहाँ ?

sodded face

standing so close to sun yet my shadow is not complete
so near to stars and wish grab one, my hand is not complete
praised for being this and that, my soul is not complete
i can't bear the horrendous sight of mirror, my face is not complete

did o lot to prove obscure
dueled to win battles unknown
ran hard to beat nameless
dressed well to present strange
spoke big to impress incognito
yet never touched the ether i wished
that may have made my face complete

what i gained by hurrying?
what i lost by following?
what difference i made by questioning?
what i changed by rebelling?
don't know the answers though....
had i knew, my face may have been complete

by the time i am a man
by the time i reach heaven
by the time i pass a thought
by the time i leave what i got
I'll wait and wouldn't die till i get my face complete
