Another Point Blank?

Jage hain der tak hum…

Yes, I can feel it.
A tired body, a tired mind and perhaps a tired soul.
Numbness inside my head.
I cannot think anymore.
The thoughts are going haywire.
Eyes, reddening,irritating, are closing despite my effort to keep them open.
Every muscle in the body aching, shouting for rest.

Kuch der sone do…

Let me sleep for a while.
Please!
I beg!
They are calling me...
The nice cozy bed, that smooth fluffy pillow, the silky warm blanket, they are all calling me.
My body wants that all.
My mind wants to be free, free of every conscious thought, free of every question it faces, free of this world.

Thodisi raat aur hai…

The night’s slipping away but it’s still dark.
Look, the trees stand still, so that they don’t disturb the birds sleeping fearless in their arms.
The roads are also dozing off with no burden to carry.
The nice and cool breeze blowing as if singing a lullaby to the world.

Subah to hone do…

Don’t be in a hurry, wait till the dawn, when the Sun will slowly be waking up spreading its early morning rays colouring the black sky, blue and saffron. When the birds will start chirping and will leave the nest in search of food, when the trees will start bathing in warm golden light.
Wait till then.

Adhe-adhure khawb jo...

My work is not finished yet.
I have dreams!
Dreams that are so dear to me, dreams that are incomplete, dreams I wish to fulfill…dreams that need to be fulfilled…

Pure na ho sake...

Dreams which could not be fulfilled.
Dreams which were left unattended.
Dreams which were nascent.
Dreams which were lost.

Ek baar phirse neend mein...

Give me one more chance.
Just one!
To sleep again.
So that I can return to the world of dreams.
And…

Woh khawb bone do…

…see my dreams again.
Dreams that are incomplete…
Dreams that I wish to fulfill…
Dreams that need to be fulfilled…



p.s. My Gtalk status message today: Dream is a place where wish and fear meet. And when the wish and the fear are the same we call it a nightmare! (Shantaram)
