Tum ho toh sab hai. Tum nahi toh kuch nahi.

 





Tum ho toh sab hai. 
Tum nahi toh kuch nahi.

Na yeh phool khilte hai. 
Na koi bahar aati hai. 
Mausam karvat lena bhool jaati hai. 
Sab kuch jaise tham jaata hai. 
Tum ho to sab hai .
Tum nahi toh kuch nahi.

Saansain saans lena bhool jaati hai. 
Ankhen jaise nam ho jaati hai. 
Honth jaise chup ho jaata hai. 
Pair jaise ruk jaate hai. 
Tum ho toh sab hai.
Tum nahi toh kuch nahi.

Dard dard dena bhool jaate hai. 
Khushiyan ankh milane se katrate hai. 
Tum ho toh sab hai. 
Tum nahi toh kuch nahi.

Pyaar bhi inkaar lagta hai. 
Dua bhi sazaa lagti hai. 
Tum ho toh sab hai. 
Tum nahi toh kuch nahi.

The night I anticipate to come ...







Rowing on the plank of wood,
With you by my side,
Sheathed under the pallor of moon,
In the tranquility of unflappable water,
With savannahs staring us from the sides,
Is the night anticipates me to come.

Shore far away from the sight,
Amidst the green water
All night,
Staring far at nothingness,
With thoughts tranquil as the inert pasture
On the water side,
Is the night anticipates me to come.

Fingers fiddling betwixt fingers,
Body resting on the resilient shoulder,
Limbs rubbing coyly against each other,
Souls flowing out to be together,
Is the night anticipates me to come.

Stillness on the move,
Softness in the wilderness,
Darkness in the pallor,
Loneliness in the togetherness,
Is the night anticipates me to come.

On the shore,
Dreaming the night
I anticipate,
I held the horses for long.
Hide and seek has been played enough.
Shun the thoughts!
Come along!
To make the night I anticipate,
The real,
Giving a reason
In our reminiscences
To beam wide.
