queries

heard:
you came (into my life)
now talk
forego warm silences
cold pauses, chilly nods
hate this facade
why can't you
simply talk?

said:
were you not told a priori
am whole nor wholesome
freeze and choke easily
a cauldron of misgivings
walking symbol of goods damaged?
why, then, is the sky simmering now?
but did not really say it
could not...
the cobwebs in the gullet!

istifsaar

suna:
aa'aye kiyuN m'ri zindagi maiN youN
aur ab lab ba'mohar kyuN
kuch bolo, kuch sunao
laf'z dou dhaRkan ko
libaada chup ka ootar dou
baat kya hay, kyuN nahiN kehtay
baat karni itni mushkil kyuN hay?

kaha:
kya poucha nahiN thaa
sanbhaal pao gay
is mujassim e junooN ko
aur souch kar jub iqraar kya
tou ab aasmaaN oothana kaisa?
such tou yeh hay laikin
keh na sakhay yeh baataiN
halaqq kay goshouN maiN
dub si ga'een yeh baataiN
