Her Sight

  It was a dark denim night,
  Gloomed by the scarcity of light,
  I saw a beautiful shade,
  Too dim to recognize,
  Aloaf of the world,
  In her deep prayers,
  She might have sought the peace,
  I was perceiving by her sight.
            

Presence

 Tum shyd khwaabon mai ate ho
 Per hum sote puri raat nahi
 Mai padna chahu tujhe 
 Per tum khuli koi kitaab nahi,
 Mai chahu rahana pass tere,
 Per tum rahate door us minar kahi,
 Band darwazo mai rahate ho,
 Per band aakho se dikte ho,
 Ye bhi batao bhala koi baat hui?
            

María

  Eyes blue, marine
  when winks, rushes my dopamine
  sparkles when she swings
  fairy, miracle, without wings
  beauty, queen, Esra in Diriliş
  maybe
  a tear drop off Nebula Helix
  or Ahalya's forgotten twin
  or Hennessy, high, a royal dream
  firmament, my mind, a blank screen
  and she is the film.
            

Moonglade

You are so beautiful,
Tum me koi bhi kami nahi,
I got everything else
Hume bas tumhari hi kami thi,
You love daisies and daffodils
Let them bloom, hume koi jaldi nahi 
The moon's reflection in water is you
Kyōka Suigetsu; kya ye doori hi karibi.
            

Try-Catch

 Every time I try to press sleep
 the memoirs don't let the eyelids 
 fasten,
 Every time I wake up in reality
 the creases on my bed-sheet are
 scars brazen.

 Every time I try to walk straight
 I follow tens of different directions,
 Every time I think to call a friend
 I end up talking to my own reflection.

 Every time I try to forget you
 the moonlight drenches me in your 
 beauty,
 Every time I decide not to write
 my pen derides, "what reminds you of 
 me?"
            

Oxytocin

Love at first sight
is like a blooming rose
if you're eyes caught one
there is no escaping the voodoo.

With time as more petals grow
more of her beauty in you glows
blows mind, rings like telephone
uncontrollable, you just want more.

But being ephemeral, it's gonna die
love is just a feeling, you will 
realise
passing months it will decay and perish
and as life goes on, a new bud will 
arise.
            

New Life

It didn't last forever that doesn't
mean it wasn't worth the while,
Run the dials and tell your friends
they are the best gift of your life.

We swim in the pool of achievements
overlooking the luck that tiles
reflect,
But it's the egocentric bias that 
helps us grow
so I got no problem with that.

Would love to sit and smoke more time
watching that stagnant clock with 
cracks,
But it's time my hand should reach 
the button deep in my head and 
the clockwork to reset.
