Quandary

When the Relations become responsibilities
Affection becomes Alternatives
Bonds turn to Burdens
Life looks so Lustreless

Talks are just to break the Silence
Words uttered are only only for Solace
And existence seems Surplus
Life’s then only a Showpiece…………

When the Emotions get chilled
Feelings are unknowingly grilled
Left is no more a laughter cookie
Life’s just a tasteless recipe

Relations given relative weights
Series of weeps & deep sighs
And then vanishes in the Infinite
The gleam of life that sometimes
Shone so Bright………………

........nahi

Rishtey hain par ab
Riste nahi
Aati jaati lehron pe khwaab abb
Tikte nahi

Abhi abhi mile hain jaane pehchane anjano se
Mil ke bhi ab dil
Khilte nahi

Koshish kare bhi lakh par
Bandhe hue gaanth puri tarah
Khulte nahi
Jee lete hain akele hi sehra me wo
Jo khud ho zalzale, wo or
Jalte nahi

Dariya me bhi na hue garq aashana
Iss thahare hue paani se ab wo
Darte nahi
Aanshu ke dhaago me jo pirote hain
Jakhmon ko
Kisi ko bhi nashtar wo
Chubhote nahi
