शायर नहीं हूँ मैं

अपने दिल को कलम बनाकर
तेरी यादों की स्याही से
लिखता हूँ मैं कुछ आशार
शायर नहीं हूँ मैं

हो जाए न रुसवाई तेरी
डरता हूँ सब कहने से
नहीं करता सब इज़हार
कायर नहीं हूँ मैं

चूम न पाता अधरों को तेरे तो
पड़ा रहता क़दमों में तेरे
हो जाता तुझपे निसार
झाँझर नहीं हूँ मैं

तुझसे ही था वज़ूद मेरा
तुझको खोकर अमित
किसका करूँ इंतज़ार
मयस्सर नहीं हूँ मैं

Is there anything better than music to lift spirits up, up and up … as … Continue reading Synchronization

Masquerade

Dressing up was always a passion. She won fancy dress competitions in school, and grew up to become a couturier. Now this … her heart bled, but she knew there was no escape. She was fully ensnared in the trap. Tonight, she had to dress up the guy who would masquerade as President, and issue … Continue reading Masquerade

Till….

We won the game long back. The reflections in the floor, and the underground sounds bother me at times. Not everybody knows that we used to play the game on marble floors, with human pawns. Those who fell are now buried in history. I see a pair of eyes, a fallen King, an army of … Continue reading Till….
