I remember writing this one at about 12:45 am on the 13th of january,2k10 sitting on the stairs of my PG's balcony in the night all alone in a very frenzy mood(a time when I had become a slave to the irrational mood swings) watching the stars and down at the road which although was deserted at the time,but felt filled up with the symbolism of poetry..I remember the time when I wrote it because I had nothing to write on except for my cellphone..saved it as draft! =]

सड़को कूचों पर

ज़िन्दगी को चलता दौड़ता

देखती हूँ

विचारहीन सी मैं

विचारों की आपाधापी को

देखती हूँ |

बूढ़ी ज़िन्दगी को

सिगरट के धूएँ में उड़ता

देखती हूँ

अल्पकालीन जवानी को

दुपहिये पर बेफ़िक्र

देखती हूँ |

Sadko koocho par
zindagi ko chalta daudta
dekhti hoon
vichaarheen si main
vichaaro ki aapaadhaapi ko
dekhti hoon.
Booddhi zindagi ko
cigarette ke dhooe mein uddta
dekhti hoon
alpkaaleen jawaani ko
dupahiye par befikr
dekhti hoon.
