Dard Ke Phool Bhi Khilte Hein Bikhar Jaate Hein

Dard ke phool bhi khilte hein bikhar jaate hein
Zakhm kaise bhi hon kuchh roz mein bhar jaate hein


Us dariche mein bhi ab koi nahin aur ham bhi
Sar jhukaaye huey chupchaap guzar jaate hein


Raastaa roke khadi hai yahi uljhan kabse
Koi poochhe to kahen kyaa ki kidhar jaate hein


Naram aavaaz, bhali baaten muhazzab lahje
Pehli baarish mein hi ye rang utar jaate hein

Writers Block

For oft I have a writers’ block,

When there is silence, there is calm,

Just like the moment before a storm..


When the clouds are high, the winds are fierce,

But the drops of rains cease to appear..


When I want to sing, you want to dance,

But the music leaves us in trance..


When I want to speak, you want to hear,

But silence reigns and the words disappear..

‘Coz oft I have a writers’ block..
