The poesy of love is journey from
red ink to blue; from heart to paper.
The poesy of love is
kissed with nine emotions,
eternal and blend under one;
all the basic nine emotions
are blended in this true amor,
hitting the two cages,
letting them free- and slow.
Bounded inside my butchering pen
erks my soul blend with fiery bloodshot
the smell of rebel.
Your touch poured the waters of scarlet
spiteful vermilions, now brimming with
peacefulness.
Just oh! Let me dive in you my dove.
I'll be my lady's fakir forever.
इक क़लम को लाल से बांध, पागल को फ़कीरी इबादतें सिखा गया कोई।
ascetic
Bind me inside your nerves and pour some more elixir.
Tear not a locution, a word, but, silence
witnessing bodies dissemble in distance.
Shed not a tear, but observe galaxy, in my eyes, as you dive deep.
Let all your worries shed, darling. Feel this palm, holdin' you steady.
Bind me inside your nerves. Pour some more elixir.
तबाह सी है रूह, जबसे बना तू मेरा जुनून।
essence / soul
"Damn your conclusions!"
Your doubts, perplexed palpitations.
Darn thy thither-hither thoughts. Your cut-throat words.
Dipped my each drop of love in your name.
Aligned. Inclined to your plans.
Fought each day, each second,
in hope to see thy eyes once.
Now, here I am,
standing clueless, numb and void.
Breathless and blind.
True that, love makes you, dead alive.
हर ज़रे पे सांस थी तेरी, कुछ यू महकी थी हयात मेरी।
कौनसे बाद-ए-नसीम को हादसा मानू--
जब उज़्र मिलने की थी, या जब उज़्र मुझसे दूर जाने की थी तेरी।
excuse, plea
The roo of your presence
was something that left me in awe.
The syncopated warmth
was something that made me see you,
without our eyes meeting.
The way of your gauging- at me-
was something that made me realise,
your affection is beyond.
My mistake was, I asked you,
to veil and brim me, with your pixie scarlet.
My mistake was, I knew, you deserve it complete,
not partly.
My mistake was, I thought,
to give you a chance.
And yours?
Your mistake was, you left me too soon-
and never put all your trust in me for once.
You held close your imagination like victim,
not welcoming it in reality as it is, for once.
Why?
For it arrived at your feet so effortless.
"And how's that even possible? Even for once!"
हमदम तू सितमगर कब हुआ? अब तेरे ख्याल जफ़ा है.
आदत कब बन गई? पता ही ना चला. शायद गलती मेरी थी.
एहसास देर से हुआ की, तुझसे कोई वास्ता ही ना था।

And each devine second I breathe beside you,
that tangling vibration innate me, and touch.
How easy it was for you to wipe away brooks,
that ran within me, aching, with just your eyes on me.
And how each dark second I wasn't able to make a hold of you, and that broke me in pieces--
Swirling storms raving recurrences!
How easy it was for you to wipe away the past,
move on and leave me, and say,
'You don't make me feel special,'
When I, here, steadily, gave in,
my each next verse...to you.
मेरे जान-इ-ग़ज़ल को न बोलना कुछ...इस उल्फ़त-इ-हर्फ़ की महज़ वो ही एक वजह है।
the soul of ghazal (poem)
