तुम्हारा बुना हुआ कोई स्वेअटर!

वक़्त की हथेली से पल चुनता हूँ, 

तुम्हारी उँगलियों से में ख्वाब बुनता हूँ

कुछ गाँठ तो पहले की हैं

कुछ आज फिर कस देता हूँ

 

गर तुम्हारे ख्वाब साथ दे

तो उन पे सर रख 

आज फिर सो जाता हूँ

और उन्हें बुनते बुनते   

तुम्हारी ही उँगलियों में 

अपने हिस्से की  

कहानी उलझा जाता हूँ  

 

फिर  

न रहा मैं 

न मेरी कहानी  

बस तुम्हारी  

बुदबुदाती उंगलियाँ  

और किसी जाड़े के दुपहर में 

तुम्हारा बुना हुआ कोई स्वेअटर

The love that I keep talking about..

Every morning when i wake up..

therez sumone i think abt..

as love..

but its u ..

every evening ..

when i go to sleep..

that i think about..

my reason..

to wake up every morning..

I keep telling the world abt that love

That sweet love..

My dreams and …

But behind those words

And letters that form them…

Just like them

Behind my every dream

Every scene

Every wish..

U .. are

the inspiration.

If my dreamz

were words..

U r my letters

..

I keep telling everyone

Stories

Roll my eyes

And make them appear

At times

Larger than life

And they often gape

At my imagination

But its you

When I finally close

My eyelids

That I find

My reality

Often

trust me..

Its you

And more often than not…

Its you

..

I love

I hurt

I cry

I smile

For the love I keep talking about..

But its only with you

That I Laugh

Through all these

With them

Without them

..

And at times

When I give up

Give in

Or Strike back

To regain

A lost love

A dying passion

A choice of sorts

I toil hard

For that love

That I dreamt of

The only one

that I know of

Whatever I do…

U r

My haven

Where I be

My temple

..

And here lemme whisper

A secret..

I have

Laid awake..

Many nights

For that love

That I keep talking about

But I have

Kept you awake

Many more nights

Till dawn or another dusk

Just resting my head

In your lap..

Finally falling asleep…

Many many nights!

…

You..

Grip me

Like wild fire

In a second

Am vanquished

It all starts

Or it never ends

And I

Keep burning

Like eternity

For eternity

Like love

For love

I see now

U are my fire

And I am

Just a forest

Useless woods

Scattered everywhere

Just so

That you catch me

Spread

Just so

That you find me

In matter

In mind

In science

In body

And conscience

Anywhere

Like wild fire

You catch me!
