After leaping over seven seas, I go back two centuries to Mirza Galib.
Hazaaro khwaahishe aise ke
har khwaahish pe dum nikale!
bahut nikeale mere armaan
phir bhi kum nikale….
–
Thousands of such wishes
For each, my heart [life] goes out…
A Lot of aspirations, I spend
yet , they fell short …
Its time I get real. My life was always at risk. I was busy surviving all the time. When would I LIVE?
Ah, This is it!
I give it to LIFE. NOW.
tat deva lagnam sudinam tat eva
taara balam chandra balam tat eva.

What to do of the letters
I write and put in my bag
for I know not where you are,
I live here with my silence,
words and untold heart
what else are you up to ?
I sketch your body with curves
But I stop doing the face
why are you still hiding?
I know not your name
Come in front of me to hold me
And say You really are the One.
