Rashq-e-Qamar

Oh you jealousy-of-moon, when for the first time

 

You met your eyes with mine, I was ecstatic

It felt like lightning, it finished everything off,

It set all on fire so, I was ecstatic

Pouring the pleasures of beauty into my glass

Moonlight smiled on me, I was ecstatic

In the shade of the moon, oh my lover

You got me drunk so, I was ecstatic

Intoxication spread from the bottle,

Glasses clinked in this gathering-of-disrepute

Pleasure started showering on the wine house

When the cloud broke and fell all around, I was ecstatic

There was shyness in the eyes at every meeting

Her cheeks turned red at the talk of love

Embarrassed by my questions.

Her eyes fought with mine so,

Looking at this fight I was ecstatic

The gentleman’s integrity was bought out

Looking at the beauty my friend melted away

Until today how aloof he was,

His chastity was finally robbed, I was so ecstatic

Thank my End, today, after my death

She started revering my love

With her own hands, on my grave

She spread a blanket of flowers, I was ecstatic

Oh you jealousy-of-moon, when for the first time

You met your eyes with mine, I was ecstatic

The First Rain.

The first rain reminds me
Of the rising summer dust.
The rain doesn’t remember the rain of yesteryear.
A year is a trained beast with no memories.
Soon you will again wear your harnesses,
Beautiful and embroidered, to hold
Sheer stockings: you
Mare and harnesser in one body.

The white panic of soft flesh
In the panic of a sudden vision
Of ancient saints

The Little Things

Have you heard the news?
Bad things come in two’s
But I never knew
about the little things.
Every single day
things get in my way.
Someone has to pay
for the little things.

And I’m through with these toys
And I’m sick of my shoes
And the walking and the talking
It’s got nothing to do with the final solution
It’s a box full of tricks
And I’m through with repairs when there’s nothing to fix
When there’s nothing to fix
And it all comes down to you.

Let the headlines wait
Armies hesitate.
I can deal with fate
But not the little things.
Armageddon may
Arrive any day.
I can’t get away
from the little things.

With a pot of cares
And a bucket of tears I would
Look at the sunlight
And I’d feel no fear.
With a mountain of maybes
And some Icarus wings
And I’m armed with illusions
And one little thing.
And that one little thing
And it all comes down to you.

Forgotten Love

Forgotten love, rotten in a dark sepulcher,
Forsaken, trashed over the roaring river,
Formalined beneath the graveyard forever,
But the flame of fornicated sweet memories,
Burns and constantly reappears through memory’s pages,
Bursts with intense desire for her care and love.

Forgotten love, obliterated with magnetic
Oblivion, this swollen heart pumps lunatic
Obscene pain, stolen obscure memories of tragic
Separation, the love of mine bleeds hemorrhagic
Sentimental tears, ceaseless, soul turns frantic,
Secluded in scorching solitude, life becomes seismic.

Mary-Jane

Dressing all black like a funeral
Never turning back, I’ve done been in hell and back
I ain’t never ran from a streetfight
Amphetamines all for the state of a better means
I’m beautiful but known for the dope like ?#?MaryJane?.

We get it, they took away my happiness
They try to take my head away
I know something you don’t that’s me coming for you
You want war, we got war, we just wanna warn you
Don’t act like you don’t know
Know what I came for
Too late to turn back
This is the payback
You take one, I take one
You can’t hide you can’t run
Too late to turn back
This is the payback

Respiratory begging for relief
I don’t let em breathe
Going hard I’m my own boss
Many ain’t believe it, a feeling not an item
Appearing up out of thin air
Conquer everything that’s in front of me
Now they under me

Reflection will Slowly Fade,

You arrive in the rising sun, 
The hidden passenger that I’ve been taking, 
Close your eyes, let’s forget again, 
As you drag me down I will take you in, 
When everything is said and done, 
Still looking for answers, if only one, 
Turn my back, the urge has gone, 
Left with no reason, we come undone, 
I am caught In your slow release, 
Seems like your traveler’s Eager to move me, 
My reflection Will slowly fade, 
To another time  Until my head escapes. 

 

The Sorrow of love

THE brawling of a sparrow in the eaves,
The brilliant moon and all the milky sky,
And all that famous harmony of leaves,
Had blotted out man’s image and his cry.
A girl arose that had red mournful lips
And seemed the greatness of the world in tears,
Doomed like Odysseus and the labouring ships
And proud as Priam murdered with his peers;
Arose, and on the instant clamorous eaves,
A climbing moon upon an empty sky,
And all that lamentation of the leaves,
Could but compose man’s image and his cry.

Meri Tanhai ke Ejaz mein Shamil hai wahi.

Meri tanhaai ke ejaaz  mein shaamil hai vahi ,
Raqs mein hai Dil-e-Diivaane ki maahfil hai vahi ,
Ye alag baat na vo tamkanat -aaraa  hai na main ,
Hai chamaan bhi vahi aur Shor-e-anaadil hai vahi ,

Vahi hai  laillaa-e-shukhan ab bhi sarpaa-e-tilism,
Merii jaan ab bhi  vahi hai ki miraa dil hai vahi ,
Dasht-e-hairat mein vahi meraa junuun mahv-e-khiraam ,
Aa ke dekho ki yahaan garmi-e-mahfil hai vahi ,

Us mein jo duub gaya paar utar jaaega ,
Mauj-Dar-Mauj vo darriya hai to sahil hai vahi ,
Aaj bhi uske meere beech hai duniya  haiil ,
Aaj bhi us ke meere beech kii mushkil hai vahi.

Please Don’t Hate Me

Get your high heals of my chest cause they’re hurting me.
Don’t need to kick me when I’m already down.
No need to shout, I hear you loud and clear.

What can I do to make everything alright?
I’ve done my best, but now this is way too much.
I can beg, I can plead, I can even make you weep.

I’m a whining bore, that I know for sure.
Picked out a wrong last word, now I can’t say no more.
You can pack, you can leave, you can even make me bleed.

Disappearance

You are frowning at me.Clearly, I have failed you again ,.
You say nothing to me.,You just walk away.
I’ll disappear. Surely, you will be happy then.,
I’ll disappear. Surely, you won’t hate me then.

You are screaming at me. I deserve it, don’t I?
I can’t speak to you. I can’t even cry.
I’ll disappear.Surely, that is for the best.
I’ll disappear. Surely, you won’t miss me.

You don’t want me. I am shattered.
I am nothing, aren’t I?
I’ll disappear.Surely, you will smile then.
I’ll disappear. Surely, you won’t even notice.

Truly, I want to disappear.
If I disappear,Will I finally be able to smile?
