Pyromania

Yesterday I burnt my shadow,
Now there is nothing that creeps beside me,
Finally there is peace inside me,
Its shrieks were lost in furnace bellow.

In infernal flames I thrust myself,
It fused my guts and charred my bone,
I traveled on pyre to liberty,
Now, elevated, I walk alone.

Ratjage

गर्मी की खामोश रातों में
पंखे का घरघराना
नल की टप-टप, घड़ी की टिक टिक
जाने कितनी रातों का यूँ
जगते हुए बिताना…

आंखों के रतजगे
कहते है ये कहानी
फ़िर नही लौटते बीते हुए पल
उन हसीं पलों की खातिर
कुर्बान जिंदगानी।

All that you can't leave...
