Kho gaye hum

Dil hi dil main
Kho gae hum
Saanso ke palko main
So gaye hum

So gaye hum in nasheele baahon main
Na rok saki yea dil
is haseen muskurahat se

Ret ke jaise pighal gae hum
NA pyaas bujhi
In hoton ki baarish se

Na pyaas bujhi
in hoton ki baarish se
Na raat guzri
in lamho ki tarikh se

Girti patto ki tarah
Kuch bol na pae hum
Na pae kuch bol
in phigle fulo ki tarah

Agar ho sake to
rokiye na humain
Hum naachis jaise
kitne aaenge

Ap ki roshan se phigal jaenge
Kho gaye hum mitti ki tarah
Paani ki tarah beh gaye hum


Dil hi dil main
kho gae hum
Saanso ke palko main
So gaye hum

Beautiful rendition of love, Gently expressed in words. There seemed to be a soothing aura created in the backdrop from where the feel of the poem gently sinks in.

Keep writing more. Tc. :)

Let it go Let it stay Let it run But see it does not run away Let it feel Let it touch Let it hold But only till you can behold Sweet noise Purple dust Morning and Twilight of dusk Sincere love Pathetic anyways ? Sooth your heart Open it Smell it But see that you don't hurt it Don't eat it It might not taste so good As it looks to be Be like that Do like this Compare Don't Consult Judge by your brain Not your heart Judge By the ways You have experienced Life And not by the Ways taught to you Sense it And it will be yours May be Forever... - Saswati Barat 1:14 Am May 21,2009

I am Society

I am society I am the mind I am greedy I am the kind I am love And I am peace I am what you Think of me is I twirl and twist And stop the change I break the bottle And shift the phase I am Mighty I am a Beast I can be tasty But I can be least Least bothered Least concerned Lest you make Me feel I am perfect I am time I am mortal I am fine I am a story I am a tale I was the king And the angel I am cold Cold like the mountains And I am warm Warm When the sunshine beats When the grenades fail I am the blanket I inhale All your sorrow All your grief I am old And I am ancient But I am patient I am the society - Saswati Barat

Smile

Smile And the world shall laugh at your face Cry And the world shall laugh at your face Run And the world might still be laughing at your face How synthetic this emotions seem When a girl cries or smiles Or runs with joy or fear Here and There And everywhere When Death is so near Let alone this world feel ashamed Of her chastity might proclaim And if she is not to be true Honor killing will do To save our names and bonds And the status we built upon The walls so high To not let her fly And chain her down With red bangles Fly my friend And let the world know You are free Free to be Me - Saswati Barat
