ভালবাসি

আধো ঘুম, আধো জাগা,
এরই মাঝে স্বপ্ন বাঁধা,
ভেসে যায় সামনে দিয়ে,
তবুও কেন সে অধরা ?

অধরাকে ধরতে গিয়ে ,
ফিরতে হলো সেই জগতে ,
দেখি সে যে  এখনো দাঁড়িয়ে 
পথের সেই বাঁকের ধারে ।

স্বপনে তারে পেয়েছি আমি ,
একদিন গভীর ঘুমের মাঝে,
জানি সে যাবে হারিয়ে আবার ,
প্রচন্ড সেই ঢেউ এর খাজে !

পাবার আশা নাই যে আমার ,
শুধু  জানি  ভীষণ  ভালবাসি,
আমার নয়, তবুও আমার ,
এই জানাতে আমি বাঁচি!

Back To Back !




One star studded night,
By the dreamy beach,
We sit, back to back,
You lean on me, I on you,
The waves are loud,
And the moon is new!
Time took a pause,
My eyes are filled,
So is yours, as we sit,
Back to back, on the beach!
Silence gets to say,
In its enchanting way,
Ripples generate,
In my blood, echoes in veins,
I fall back on you, again!
Sleep slips in my eyes,
Yet I am awake, for,
Thousand years now!
Tell me how, you sleep,
As I lay awake even in slumber!
That night on the beach,
As we sit, back to back,
With entangled breath,
In the cold sea breeze,
We sit, we wonder,
We dream, we say to each other,
I a wave, you a wave,
We mix, we are the sea,
You and me, that night,
Sit back to back, on the beach!

Not Yet Gone !

An emptiness embraces me,
Am void, hollow inside,
All feelings are frozen now,
My words have all died !


A walk within myself,
And am shock laden,
How can a heart survive,
Among all the barren ?


Too numb to feel the pain,
Too proof for happiness either,
A trance that grips my being,
Gives me all but a breather !


Each battle with my pain own,
Each day that I get up and fight,
Each struggle to segregate,
All the wrong's from the right !


Each moment of precious smile,
Each day a hug from my son,
Each day you saying 'Am there',
Assures am living and not yet gone!

Shikayat Zindegi Ki, Zindegi Se!

Apni jeevan to mein ji hi nahi...
Kabhie iski... kabhie uski...
Hamesha hi udhar ki...
Zindegi mein jeeti rahi...!

Tum se jo mili thi...
Kabhie ek boond zindegi ki...
Usse to mein sanjho nahi pai...
Bo nahi pai... meri viran...zindegi ki...
Ret main... !

Sabki batein mujh tak pohoch jati hain
Par meri khamoshi main lipti  awaaz...
Koi nahi sunta...yaha.. koi nahi sunta..

Zindegi mujhe tujhse badi shikayat hain..
Teri hi shikayat mein tujhse karu....
Jo hain so teri hi den hain...
Par jo nahi hain.. woh bhi to tune hi cheena hain!

World In Insomniac Eyes !

Last night it was well past four,
When all surrendered to sleep;
Wrapped themselves in peace,
Behind their four walls, shut doors.


I took a virtual flight, to see you,
Across the blue hills, azure sea;
I travelled, I carried myself, for me;
And did get a glimpse of divine you.


The stars were drunk and drowsy,
The moon wore cloud's warm blanket;
Sea slept wearing the wavy locket,
Roads were lonely, dark and grumpy.


I saw you in faded caliginous light,
Some shadow fell on your face;
Am hurrying, crossing a maze,
A madness at the dead end of night.


Beautiful night, rests in your slumber,
Innocent night, in my insomniac eyes;
Sees virtues all... denounces all vice,
Tried to pretend, to get lost in you forever.


Morning tiptoed in, treading upon my dreams,
Better senses dawned, with the rising sun;
I smiled on my folly own, now noon too is done,
In twelve hours, I passed a day it seems...!

Pain's Proposal !

Pain lingers, pain haunts, pain all over,
Heart aches, soul bleeds,
Pain today and forever !

Pain that you give me, pain that I adopt,
Clots in my bleeding veins,
Pain, this, gets me chopped !

Pain in crowded me, pain when am alone,
That which tells me am alive,
Pain which sealed all my cries and moan !

Pain in my dry eyes, pain within my being,
An everyday gift you adorn me with,
Pain that engulfs me, without you knowing !

Pain that begins with you, pain that ends in me,
Fills in the entire semblance,
Pain, my lover, proposes each day, bending on knee !


Beautiful Again !

Sky melts to float on earth,
Long wait of both ends...
I watch from my window...
How the horizon and sea blends !

Monsoon dances salsa
Wearing her trinklets new...
And the branches swing...
As if they enjoy the view !

Few parrots seek shelter,
Beneath my window pane...
Few divine empyrean drops...
And oh all is beautiful again !
