AngelFace / pari

AngelFace
across mind's seven oceans
glimmers this shangri la
in harmony n happiness
coexist everyone

lives there an AngelFace
the desire and longing
to touch and hold and embrace
brings forth doubts, whims anew

as an outsider i drown
in a sea of apprehension
wave after wave of what-ifs
what-if the dreams come true?
what-if they do not come true?

interrupted, apprehensive
remains this dreaming
rusty links, cooling ashes
me AngelFace? AngelFace me?
and mired mirth of me and you


pari
zeh'n kay saat samandar paar
hay ik basti kay jahaaN
bachchay, jawaan aur booRhay
bastay haiN chain sukooN say

khaabON ki oos basti maiN
rehti hay ik pari bhee
jis ko paanay ki khaahish
laati hay dil maiN meray
kasak, khalish, waswisay

pardesi honay kay naatay
taaabir maiN moozmir baat say
tazabzoob maiN meh'w e ghar'q
youN maiN pata hooN khood kO
joos'tu'joo e khaab e umar
aur paya kya hum nay
gar woh pari pari na hui
gar woh pari hee niklay
khaab ka yeh taana baana
tooTh ker raakh ho jata hay
maiN aur pari
pari aur maiN
aur maiN aur tu
