Neend..

Rona tab aata hai, jab neend na sataye
Rona tab aata hai, jab neend na sataye
Bas aankhein bandh ho jaye,
Kaise? Koi toh bataye....

In ashko ko aadat lagi hai
Na Jaane kabse, tapke bas yuhi
Mere naino mein aag lagi hai
Na Jaane kabse, bhadke, bas yuhi

Yaadein nahi, woh na jaane kya sataye
Jab soch mein doob doobkar
Mann aawara lalchaye
Aur raat bhar bas ek hi baat jagaye
Ki bhaiya koi toh bataye, hume neend kyu nahi aaye?

Hindi

Woh sannatta, woh sadake,
Woh baarish ki boonde
Woh hawa jo halka se has de
Jab mann mein koi shola hai bhadke

Woh sisakti zindagi, lambi si raat
Woh sapno adhure, haathi ke daant
Har zarre ne jab tha haske pukara
Woki puraane din, jab main tha sabka dulara

Khoyi rahi kisi chadar mein,
Chhupa sa, daba sa, purana dard tha
Bas rakh diya mann ki almaari mein
Ruk gaye kisi din, bas, aur mausam sard tha...

Jee rahe hai, zinda hai, alag kya hai?
Saanse ruki nahi, ab tak, alag kya hai?
Ki phir ek subah ho is raat ki, intezaar hai
Kambakht dil bhi maane na, ki ye sab bekaar hai...

Promises

Promises, I tell you, should never be made
For life is but frail, it may quickly fade
Promises, to abide, promises to restore
Promises that promise like nothing before..

Death, be only the best kept promise
Till Death do us part,solemnly said.
How rarely meant. Like a heartfelt kiss
Till it all does end on Death's bed...

What words men use, to rend, to repair
What promises, to bend backwards, words so rare..
Words, these are but words,just wisps in the air
What value we give them, we think they be fair...

Till Death comes calling, riding his steed
Words all but forgotten, all bondage freed
Some promises get away, scot free, some stay behind
Some promises were a certainty, some kept us blind...

Malayalam poem

Malayalam poem

Kochu Kochu nimishangal

Thedi poya naalil nee

Vannathonnum kandilla

Mumpil ninna aalil nee

Kaatil Thedi, veetil Thedi

Odi nadannu, payye nadannu

Kootil Thedi, naatil Thedi

Kannum pooti, chaadi nadannu

Aa nilavil ethu shalabham

Kittumennu prarthanayode

Kaathirunnu vedanayode

Kai ozhinju poya nimisham

Poovil veena manj pole

Venalil kalanju poyi

Kaalam etra vannu poyi

Orayiram premam arinja pole..

Ennittum arinjille priye nee

Inikku neeyum,ninukku njanum

Daivam pande onnu ezhuthi

Nee thediya  aa swarga gaanam..
