Kal ....

Kal jab baahar aaye tou mai na rahoongi,
Parr ban kay mausam mai teray sang saal bhar chaloongi..

Kal jab barsayngee boonday aur mai naa rahoon tou,
Teri aankhon main shabnam ban kay bahoongi...

Kal meray haath ko tum thaam na sako tou mayoos mat hona,
Mai teray dil kay khanoon mai dhadkaa karoongi..

Kal meri aawaz naa sun sako tou
Mai mausam ki jhankaar ban kay rahoongi..

Kal jab shab bhar tum dhoondo gay mujhko
Mai tootay huey taaroon mai chamkaa karoongi..

Kal jo gehraayegaa zindagii kaa andheraa,
Mai teray nasheman mai diya ban jaloongi..

Kal alfaz ho jo na daaman mai teray,
Mai ban kay gazal teray honthon pe sajoongi..

Kal fanaa-o-khaaq ho kar bhi Mahi`,
Teray naram kadmoon ko chooma karoongi...

"LOST SCHOLAR"

 

The chaos is high and the faces all puzzled..

All formulas tangled all chemicals jumbled

A new face every day & a new topic jumping

Curious we are when will the perfect teacher run in

Today they teach you A of genetics and tommorow they  touch the Z 

This makes go off track my class mates and me..

Replication of brains take place in my class

My subject faces torture my subject faces harass

The brains have now stopped working

And mutations are caused in thinking

At the end we are all blank in a fraction of wink

There is all water left no scholars ink...

Yes its a satire!!This time on the education system of kashmir..

I will rise

My wings are tattered,Bloody and torn,
Dying, falling, I slowly crawl.
My life is forfeited, No longer mine by right.
I lost it when I took my flight.

I soared for a moment into the sky,
My wings thrilled with feeling.
A flurry of feathers, I danced and I sang
Now all I feel is loss And it's murderous pang.

Now I crawl in the dirt,
Blood in my mouth.
Stare up at the moonlight
Far in the distant skies.
Bliss was short-lived, as I soon found.
You condemned my heart, I was flung to the ground.
My wings may be destroyed and dull,
I am cold but not completely numb.
My heart is not dead And my spirit is strong.
I know these feelings Within my breast are not wrong.
Crush my body, Do you think I care?
I'll drag myself to the heavens somehow.

I will find a way to save my soul,
Save my dying light.
I will dance once again,
My whole being will ignite.
Don't think I can be shattered Quite so easily.
My heart is strong...
