ek khaab ke kone me ek syaah si raat mili
woh raat jo teri gali me utarke guzarti hai
kabhi raat ke peeche main bhi tahalne jo nikla karoon
woh lekar chalti hai kisi anjaan se saahil pe
geeli si mitti pe pairon ke nishaan tale
kuch narm si naazuk si khwahishein kinaaron pe
har din ki tarah samandar me bulbule bharti lahre
daudte huye aati aur saahil pe marti lahre
kya pata ke samandar me bikhri bhi kuch khwahish ho
aur raat me udte hue kuch khaab adhoore ho
dhoondha to bahut maine par aankhein tanha hi rahi
dhoondha to dekha maine paani khud pyaasa hai
phir samjha - lahron pe mohre to thaharte nahin
aur is sard se kohre me chehre bhi nahin milte
tu bhi to kabhi yunhi meri raat ke peeche nikal
tab jaanoge yun tanha lautna kya hota hai
ek khayaal ko odhe huye main jo kabhi mil jaaoon
dekhna tere chat par bhi koi saanjh pada hoga
---------------------------------------------------
raat bhi lambi laage
teri judaaiyon me
jaan ka tukda jaaye re
Gulzar
Poetry or something like that... The name says it all, this is plainly an attempt to take my heights of craziness into the lyrical domain. I have a rich imagination. That I think so is proof enough for that!! So, People! Come here to hear me say things you all know in words you cannot comprehend!

Look at me
I am standing here on a busy street

But none ever looks at me
A Star for a fiver
A silver ball for a rupee
make your girl smile
make your child happy

Sir

Ma'am

Everybdy's found a bzy road
I stand here, tired & wait
Won't somebdy sell me jus one smile?
I wanna live tomorrow again
Santa won't come behind
the park bench where I live
coz I don't have a fireplace
leave alone a chimney
So Bloody somebody
please buy somethng from me
Sir

Ma'am

Tommy wants a blue shirt
I don't want Tommy to wake up
to a torn & empty stocking
So

Are Dinosaurs Extinct?
I like it when you whistle a 'hi'
I like it better when you just wink it at me!
I heard a dinosaur in a summery yellow day
Ah! I heard a dinosaur -
a T-rex dressed like a Sauropod
I still remember crumbs.
Thank God, I do!
Now, I dance to smiling afternoons
when swirling dusty winds play romance
on blazing empty roads
I heard a dinosaur in a raining silvery night
Ah! I heard a dinosaur
who now snorts down other ears
I still remember crumbs.
I wish I didn't!
I hate it when you bid 'good bye'
I hate it worse when you just leave without a word!!

Kill this space!
A night settling guy problems of a 6-year-old
A window overlooking a graveyard
A stupid rapid fire questionnaire
Nicole Kidman & Anna Kournikova
A debate - do we yell or do we not?
A talk about rages at the steering wheel
concocted stories - "barbie & barbaa"
Important clients , a delayed breakup
A game of pictionary with family
A round of booze , friends crashing over
A splurge of poetry which made me smile
A random stranger vs. the boss' daughter
Hours together, before we hit the sack
Are we still there? Are we coming back?
Are you sleeping? or am I dead?
Why is my smile blue? Yours is still red!!
Are we through? or is it just my head?
I donno what! Can you lemme out?
Not that alone, the world is all stone
But then each day leaves a little void
I still remember having read your say
A vacuum, small, is a vacuum after all!!!

Rishtey
Purza purza raat jale
ab har dar bas khaak mila
shab bhar jalte saaye phoonke
phir bhi sahar naapaak mila
ghar se chale kisi aur dagar
phir usi afsaane pe pair pada
chub gayi wo shaam khaali si
wahi beraham ittefaaq mila
dil lagaakar dil khud kahta hai
'kismat to bahaana umda hai
kismat kos chalo, jo dil na mile'
zaalim dil ye chaalaak mila
band kamre me sab mausam to
bin dastak, aate jaate hain
kal hari thi peepal ki baahein
ab dekha soona shaakh mila
ziddi dil, toota sa, seene me
tanha kabse pada hai phir bhi
khwahish ugaane lagta hai
jab bhi aankh se aankh mila
purza purza raat jale
ab har dar bas khaak mila
har shab jalte saaye phoonke
phir bhi sahar naapaak mila
ab har dar bas khaak mila
shab bhar jalte saaye phoonke
phir bhi sahar naapaak mila
ghar se chale kisi aur dagar
phir usi afsaane pe pair pada
chub gayi wo shaam khaali si
wahi beraham ittefaaq mila
dil lagaakar dil khud kahta hai
'kismat to bahaana umda hai
kismat kos chalo, jo dil na mile'
zaalim dil ye chaalaak mila
band kamre me sab mausam to
bin dastak, aate jaate hain
kal hari thi peepal ki baahein
ab dekha soona shaakh mila
ziddi dil, toota sa, seene me
tanha kabse pada hai phir bhi
khwahish ugaane lagta hai
jab bhi aankh se aankh mila
purza purza raat jale
ab har dar bas khaak mila
har shab jalte saaye phoonke
phir bhi sahar naapaak mila

Click
A dark sky & a bright streak
A wet street & rushing people
A black umbrella & four feet
Click! there is a story
A dirty wall & graffiti
Caricatures & self-anointments
Love confessions & swear-words
Click! there is a story
A broken barbie & a garbage dump
A brown girl with a sack of grimy polythenes
A gleeful smile & a new-found fortune
Click! there is a story
Wild cities & unsung predators
Pug marks & blood trails
A carcass & a bunch of vultures
Click! there is a story
A red lane & colorful camouflages
Yellow taxis, men with stained teeth
Waxed skin, pink bangles & pasted pastels
Click! there is a story
A big dark rectangle
Rows of small lighted squares
Closed windows & hidden episodes
Click! there is a story
Click away
Dark moments with wings
need to be stored in frames-
memories!
Click all you see
pick all you can
You cannot click
muffled voices
stifled emotions
A flash cannot illuminate
everything;
can it?
