Lap of Words

When the world abandoned her,

She found herself in the lap of words.

She read thousands of lives, established indelible knots.

She enjoyed their ebb and flow of thoughts.

She stood amidst an ocean of eclectic expressions.

How could an author interpret her every reflection?

Sometimes she felt anguished, alone with silent screams.

There is a vague line between reality and dream.

He was upset, feeling like a subject in this objective world. He had pissed of these transfers and friendless zones.

“To get a stable job seems filing an application for heaven.” He sighed and peered outside the window. He got numb with teary-eyed. There was a kid on wheelchair waving at everyone, laughing fervently, alive.

Hesitation

That deep intimacy of eyes, flickering smiles and flirting of heartbeats. There wasn't blabbering but reflective silence fondling on their lips and here I was being left on floor, half-dead, relinquished. Love overpowered me again.

I, hesitation wandering for a heart who is naive, afraid of consequences before celebrating love. Their stupidity is my existence.

As day was fading outside, he was actually ready to leave his room along with sequence of her floating memories. Past months were hard for him; he was completely unaware about his existence after her. By walking on silent road he glanced at the moon, a fervent version of love; remembered her, smiled and damaged.

1.
बूंद भर इश्क़
सुलगते अल्फाज़ सी वो,
होठों पर ठहरी दुआ
क़भी उर्दू की आवाज़ सी वो..


2.
ख्वाहिशों की बज़्म में
खामोश सी शरर
निस्बतों की भीड़ में
तेरा रूह-ए-शहर..
