Come Lets Flee!

I noticed a new footprint,
On the sand of time,
Who is it, that left a mark?
I thought, from behind!

A new boat was anchored,
On the shore of life,
But where is the boatman?
Who left love in rife!

A piece of new dark sky,
Was glooming above,
What is that song I hear?
Composed with love!!

A spread of ocean new, beyond,
This tarnished earth,
Who has spread wings to fly?
And carry me in all dearth!

A new shore, a new sea, a new,
Is all that I see,
You are renewed, so am I, and,
In new spirits lets flee!

Some Time!

Some wrinkles have I traced on the face of time,

Some very old desires I felt in it forever sublime!

 Some that you had given me, but I could not keep,
Some that I had given you, but you lost them in heap!

Some moments that are frozen in my mind's shot,
Some moments that you still contemplate may be yet!

Some reminiscences of your memories still new in me,
Some probably that you want to dis-remember of me!

Some eons of time, some era of our excellent being,
Some that we had lived together, before our leaving!

Some that we had let go on our wishes so very own,
Some that we have retained in our hearts, unknown!

Some parts that make us whole, some whole to part,
Some beginnings yet to begin, some end yet to start!

Some day down the street, in the veil of the light,
Some one dashes onto you, and you know all is right;

Some knowledge shall dawn on you, and you know that,
Some one who loved you once perhaps is not dead yet!

Faasla !

Do pal ki ehesason main,
Ek zindegi samet kar,
Mein chali aayi thi upaas..
Apne aap ko wohi chor kar..

Din bite, raat hui..
Raat kaate to din phir..
Sukhad yaadon ke bhir main,
Mein kitni amir !

Dene ko to, jaan de du,
Lenewala kahan ?
Bikasit smrition ke beech..
Woh kahin basta hoga..

Aaj se kuch saalon baad..
Jab khak se aah niklegi..
Barfili paharon ki chotion jaisa,
Tumhara dil bhi pigleghi..

Bahut bhir main chaloge jab,
Aapna na hoga koi..
Tab tumhare hath ki ghari,
Bolegi.. 'bahut der ho gai'..

Samay ko maat dena mumkin kahan,
Pal ke sath aur ek pal bita jaye..
Mein hoon wohi.. tum ho wohi..
Baas, beech se yeh samundar hatt jaye.. !

Ultimate Journey !

A step forward, three towards back..
How will I reach home, ever in this slack ?
Unlighted paths haunt, roads ahead rough and long, 
Sky overcast clouds dark, adverse wind whistle strong..
Walk seems endless.. how will I reach home ?
Fog and mist shrouds the valley, eyes cannot see..
None to hold my cold hands, who will take me ?
Distant bells of old church, are long silent now
Flowers withered, weeds flourish in the bough..
I must not stop.. I cannot stop.. have to go on..
However dark, however lonely, its home that beckon..
Do not know, if anybody waits there, waits for me..
I shall reach someday, to end my ultimate journey !

পাহাড়ে ... !

Bhebechilem tomay niye pahare berate jabo,
Amar shei chotto pahar..
Taar gaye bheshe thaka rongin meghe,
Tumi aar ami bhashbo..
Chotto shei pahari nodi..
Taar shoccho jole chapa pore thaka...
Koto ronger noori..
Tumi kurube, ami anchole baadhbo..
Chaar dhaare pine er jongol..
Amra dujone shei pothe haatbo...
Tomar mouth-organ er shure..
Bhore uthbe pahari batash...
Ami tomar hath chere chutbo..
Tumi o chutbe..
Dhalu ghashe ami boshbo...
Projapoti ke dhorte chaibo..
Tomar camera te tara dhora porar agei..
Ami taader uriye debo..
Jani... tumi amay khub bokbe...
Ami abhimaner bhaan kore mukh ghuriye boshbo...
Tomar shure tokhon amar choke jol...
Bikele phire eshe...
Shei je amader chate boshe coffee khabar kotha chilo...
Koi khele na to ?
Coffee je juriye gelo...
Amar pahare tomar sporsho.. hoyto porbe na...
Jani ne... hoyto.. amar pahar aar nei...
Aar... tumi o to nei...
Paharer fekashe meghe tomar mukh.. miliye gelo...
Shandyar shesh aloy.. shob jeno hariye gelo..
Shesher kobitar .. shomapti.. !

Complete Existence !

On a midnight,
Far away, on the end of world,
There was a You and a I,
Hidden from all worldly eye..
We stole a few moments ..
Stole some pearls,
From the string of time..
Some moments..
Where You and I..
Made that space and time..
Complete, by our existence..

Last midnight..
Far away, in another end of world..
I was alone,
Unaware I was ..
Of my own existence..
Slowly I sipped in the goblet,
Filled with sparking memories..
Intoxication spread,,,
From heart to eyes...
I again, completed, my existence ..

Hearty Autumn !

Dying once everyday,
I could not take,
Today I died,
Yes, for once and all !
May my end,
Mark a new start,
In your life,
..

Let me be blamed,
For this eternal autumn,
Leaves fall to grow..
But, this year..
No leaves shall grace,
The branches..
No spring shall come..

I leave, with fall,
In my heart.. !
