khayal

kuch toota hai kahin
ek sheesha sa ab mere dil mein hai

kisi ne khadi kari hai ek diwar
ab un tak pahunchna mushkil mein hain

hairat to yeh hai ki
dard nahi hai.. gam nahi hai
fir bhi khush rehna ab mushkil mein hai

Hidden

Unable to feel safe

i scout about

without being seen

without being sought

hunting for clues

for letting it out

surviving on grubs

i look about

they stand still

unable to hear me shout

i cry around

unseen unheard

trapped in a tragedy

striving to fly...

they call me a bird..

and i don't even know why..
