Kal tak mujhko gaurav tha,
Main Ishwar ki hoon santaan,
Aaj magar hoon aadha jaanwar,
Aaj hoon main aadha insaan.

Kal tak meri dhadkan sundar
jeevan raag sunati thi,
Lekin aaj hai mere ang ang mein,
Jaise thanda ek shamshaan,

Kaun pukaara kaun Pukaara,
Dekho sab kuch badal gaya,
Koi peeche choot gaya hai,
Koi aage nikal gaya,

Teri lagai aag ke naag hai jo,
Lipte huve mere tan se,
Pairon Se Aur hatho Se,
Aur Seene Se Aur Gardan Se..

Dharti ki aankhen bheegi hai,
Aur ambar bhi rota hai,
Duniya mein koi sab paata hai,
Aur koi sab kuch khota hai...

Jharne ho nadiyaan ya sagar,
Sab hai paani ke dhaare,
Lekin in aankhon ke aasoon,
Jaise hai pighle angaare,

Cheekh rahi hai saari dishayen,
Koi disha khaamosh nahin,
Dosh nahin hai tera lekin,
Phir bhi tu nirdosh nahin,

Doob na jaaye duniya teri,
Aasoo-on ki is baarish mein,
Lagta hai tere dil aur aankhen,
Dono hai is saazish mein..

Kaash na hoti teri chandan aur chandni,
aur na hoti mere dil mein dhadkan,
Na garajte ye badal hote,
Na hota tera anjaanapan.

Na har pal mein hoti tadpan,
Na maangta yeh pyaar toofan,
Kaash main ho jaaoo poora janwar,
Na rahoon main aadha insaan

Living Wide Open,
landscapes of the Mind,
I will not die an unlived life,
I will not live in fear,
of falling or catching fire.
I choose to inhabit my days,
to allow my living to open me,
to make me less afraid,
more accessible.
to loosen my heart,
until it becomes a wing,
a torch, a promise.
I choose to risk my significance,
to live so that which came to me as seed,
goes to the next as blossom,
and that which came to me as blossom,
goes on as fruit.

How Do I Live Divided No More?
The seed that is to grow
must lose itself as seed;
And they that creep
may graduate through
chrysalis to wings.

Will you then,
cling to husks which
falsely seem to you
the self?

Hope has a place..

One look at love,
and you may see,
it weaves a web,
over mystery,
all raveled threads,
can rend apart,
for hope has a place in the lover's heart.

Whispering world,
a sigh of sighs,
the ebb and the flow,
of the ocean tides,
one breath, one word,
may end or may start,
a hope in a place of the lover's heart,
Hope has a place in a lover's heart.

Under the heavens,
we journey far,
on roads of life,
we're the wanderers.
So let love rise,
so let love depart,
let hope have a place in the lover's heart,
Hope has a place in the lover's heart.

Look to love,
you may dream,
and if it should leave...
then give it wings!
But if such a love,
is meant to be,
Hope is home,
and the heart is free.......

Love is beautiful,
love is the sky,
if it's going away,
even when you try,
hold yourself,
and let yourself cry,
even if tears hold back themselves too hard,
For only hope has a place in the lover's heart....

Hare Krishna.. :)

Hold My Pain

Pensively sad,
undulating and mad,
tell me that sometimes,
stories have happy endings..
Whisper the unnerved fables.
take me away from pragmatic air,
breathe me with surreal dreams,
feed me with your heart's blood...
kill mercilessly the words...
words that escaped,
the myriad laughing lips,
words which once humiliated my belief..
that you would come..
and hold my hand!
Even if they are true..
even if they are sane..
make me believe this lie,
annihilate my pain.

Lonely Dream

So when I'm crying alone,
when I'm cold as a dying stone,
Grow me a garden of roses,
Paint me the colors of sky and rain,
Teach me to speak with your voices,
Show me the way and I'll try again...
I still hear your voice when I sleep lonely,
I still feel your touch in my dreams,
Forgive me, my weakness, but I don't know why,
Without you it's hard to survive..

Love
Me

Forgotten

Let my love be forgotten, as a flower is forgotten,
Forgotten as a fire that once was singing gold,
Let it be forgotten for ever and ever,
Time is a kind friend, he will make us old.

If anyone asks, say it was forgotten
Long and long ago,
As a flower, as a fire, as a hushed footfall
In a long forgotten snow.
