Yeh Kaisa Mard hai?

Hue paida jis kokh se,
karte uski na kadar,
leke dil mein haiwaniyat,
failate gandagi dar badar,
dekh ke badalti inki fitrat,
aata zehan mein yeh sawaal,
yeh kaisa mard hai,
jo deta sirf dard hai????

izzat dena gaye yeh bhool,
badalte roz inke usool,
zulm dena hua na band,
na toote kabhi inka ghamand,
dekh ke inke khaufnaak iraade,
aata zehan mein yeh sawaal,
yeh kaisa mard hai,
jo deta sirf dard hai????

na uthai aawaaz darindagi ke khilaaf,
kaisi insaniyat, kaisa insaaf,
na khaulta ab inka khoon,
sar pe bas, mardaanagi ka junoon,
dekh ke inki chupi namardaangi,
aata zehan mein yeh sawaal,
yeh kaisa mard hai,
jo deta sirf dard hai????

abhi bhi hai mujhe ye aas,
ki hoga inko jaldi ehsaas,
na chalti duniya sirf inke dum par,
ai besharam mard, kuch toh sharam kar,
dekh ke inki besharmi,
aata zehan mein yeh sawaal,
yeh kaisa mard hai,
jo deta sirf dard hai????

Writer's Block

Its a block, a passe,
like staring at an empty wine glass,
stale thoughts around,
inspiration, nowhere to be found,
stuck in a routine,
sipping on Jim Bean,
trying to shake my brain,
as life continues to be sucked
out through the drain,
numbness taking over,
words not coming out,
world looks simplified,
where are the doubts?
There used to be a time,
head filled with thoughts galore,
and now I wonder,
why can't I write anymore?

No Doubt

The time has come,
to set things straight,
in comes the light,
darkness out through the gate,
today I set myself free,
from the shackles of diplomacy,
forthright and crystal clear,
no hypocrisy,
they don't fear no bombs or god,
they are scared of truth,
lies, deception and darkness,
one big moral loot,
however, let me clear it out,
today i won't throw a punch or shoot a gun,
I'd rather let my words shout,
Because I know when I speak out,
I'll leave no doubt.....

Just Shadows Around

Night is dark, cool breeze flowing,
thoughts galore, beneath blue moon glowing,
step by step, walking towards nowhere,
pain in my heart, sorrow filling the air,
asking myself, where I went wrong,
no one to go to, nowhere to belong,
to fill this emptiness, I scream out loud,
silence is what I get, and I just see shadows around.........

Tired and dejected, I start walking back,
following my own footsteps, on that same old track,
night after night, this story repeats itself,
misplaced hope and expectations, lying on my shelf,
I say to myself, this won't happen again,
lessons have been learned, no more pain,
these thoughts make me smile, as joy surrounds,
but happiness only real when shared,
and all i have are just a few shadows around!!!!!!

I miss you!!!!!!!!

Empty Sky

Here it comes again,
like a wild freight train,
making me think hard,
catching me off guard,
exposing reality,
bringing clarity,
giving me a choice,
without much poise,
the time has come,
it has to be done,
all the time I sought,
made me lose the plot,
no more delay,
I wont be running away,
this has to end,
as this will never mend,
and I hope it ends soon,
all I got was an empty sky,
after trying to catch the moon.....

The Last Smoke

Green, yellow, red and white,

this ain't no rainbow soldier, sit upright.

games are over, fun is gone,

we are talking serious stuff here,

you might not get to see the dawn.

Remember your gods, your friends and folks,

coz when this gets over,

all that will be left is smoke.....

You might have come here because you had no choice,

or because you saw guns and planes as toys,

sisters, brothers, mother and father,

you miss them more, as things get harder.

As the moment comes nearer,

your feelings run amok,

stop thinking as there's no turning back,

pick up a ciggy, and have you last smoke...
