When I Spoke to the Sky; My journey to love ends in you! He covered me from all over Went into hiding behind a moon, stars, rainbows, clouds,…never showed his real face! When I told the wind; I dreamt of being with you! A robust companion, I see in you. He scattered me all over…
Read MoreDo you hear it? In a drop, the rain sings in chorus, do you hear it? In the seed, lush green crop waves, do you hear it? On the open road ants have come out in a row Listening to the footfall , the walls are fissured, do you hear it? In a busy workshop…
Read Moreदिल के काबे में नमाज़ पढ़ दिल के काबे में नमाज़ पढ़, यहां-वहां भरमाना छोड़। सांस-सांस तेरी अज़ान है, सुबह शाम चिल्लाना छोड़। उसका रुप न मस्जिद में है उसकी ज्योति न मंदिर में जिस मोती को ढूंढ़ रहा तू, वो है दिल के समुन्दर में। मन की माला फेर, हाथ की यह तस्वीह घुमाना…
