Yaado'n ka Kaarvaan

Bachpan k kacche makaan se shuru yaado'n ka kaarvaan
guzra khalish ki andhiyaari galiyon se dare-sehme
aur di dastak dil ki haveli pe.

Oonche darwaazo'n ki chatakhniyaan
shayad isi aahat ke intezaar mein thi
ki kab koi bhoola-bisra aake
unhe un taalo'n se aazaad karega
jinki kaid mein rehte-rehte
ab ghaavo'n k nishaa'n bhi karaahne lage hain.

Solace



The following poem/RAP is about those children who have been a victim of corporal punishment, child abuse or any other from of harassment. Many of us love our childhood and have precious memories of the same and we do want to re-live it. But, for them its nothing less than a nightmare, a nightmare which leaves a scar deep down inside their hearts :-



So, here we roll the dice and start the game of a troubled childhood, full of pain
Hard situations and my shaken confidence
Wish I had a Batsuit to kill all of 'em
The fear and frustration imbibed in my head
My shivering lips and broken words coming out of it and
My Eyes searching for a place to hide
But the hardships have spread all over the skies
Mommy its a bad world they won't let me live
They beat me at school and snatch away my tiffin
The chain of my cycle seems like a python
Smothering the wheels, dragging me in oblivion
I feel cold and helpless being held captive
behind the glass walls blowing the icy wind stream.



Staring at the sky waiting for an angel to arrive,
To take to me to the stars hence, leaving all my pains behind
or else help me find solace away from deafening noise
So, that I can find the true meaning of my life



Stealing vapours from the air
while b-boing against the ground zero of depression
to avoid my thoughts of dehydration
so as to land on the petals of carnations
I've been struggling hard to
keep my head, above the surface,
everytime I make a move, it ends in a checkmate.
But to settle the scores I go for a rollback.
Under the Protection from Mental Torcher Act,
amended in the year of 1978
This whole game is triggered by serotonin and dopamine
My vasodilation is controlled by people having cunning
thoughts and vibes rooted inside genes
possibly originating from adenine and cytosine


Staring at the sky waiting for an angel to arrive,
To take to me to the stars hence, leaving all my pains behind
or else help me find solace away from deafening noise
So, that I can find the true meaning of my life

bending horizon

Tumhare khayalon ki boondon se 
dhundhle pade meri ankhon k sheeshe,
samete hai ek aas khud mein. 
K khwahishein tumse milne ki na jane kabse
bhatak rahi hain dil k sheher mein

Kabhi to adaton ka parda apne zehen ki khidkiyon se hata kar dekho us karvatt leti subah ko.
Wo subah
Wo subah jo mere man k deeewan-ae-aam ko tabdeel karti hai us deewan-ae-khaas mein 
jiski deewarein sajayi hain tumahare rangon ki nakkaashiyon se
Surkh laal un mehraabon ka rang utar aata hai mere chehre pe jab dekhta hoon ek jhalak tumhari hazaaron ki bheed mein.

Wo jhalak jo pighlati hai faaslon ki maum ko katra katra 
par ho nahi pati ankhon ki ankhon se mulaaqaat, pahunchata hai mere alfaaz tum tak
tum tak hamare darmiyan har zarra
Na Jane kab udhar se bhi ek aawaaz aayegi, jo is rooh ko sukoon pahunchayegi. 
isi khwab ko dhoondhane  aaj shayad fir neend un galiyon ki  ziyarat ko aayegi.....
Tumhare khayalon ki boondon se 
dhundhle pade meri ankhon k sheeshe,
samete hai ek aas khud mein. 
K khwahishein tumse milne ki na jane kabse
bhatak rahi hain dil k sheher mein

Kabhi to adaton ka parda apne zehen ki khidkiyon se hata kar dekho us karvatt leti subah ko.
Wo subah
Wo subah jo mere man k deeewan-ae-aam ko tabdeel karti hai us deewan-ae-khaas mein 
jiski deewarein sajayi hain tumahare rangon ki nakkaashiyon se
Surkh laal un mehraabon ka rang utar aata hai mere chehre pe jab dekhta hoon ek jhalak tumhari hazaaron ki bheed mein.

Wo jhalak jo pighlati hai faaslon ki maum ko katra katra 
par ho nahi pati ankhon ki ankhon se mulaaqaat, pahunchata hai mere alfaaz tum tak
tum tak hamare darmiyan har zarra
