The Sound of Ankush

suna hai log use aankh bhar ke dekhte hai

सुना है लोग उसे आँख भर के देखते हैं सो उसके शहर में कुछ दिन ठहर के देखते हैं सुना है रब्त है उसको ख़राब-हालों से सो अपने आप को बर्बाद कर के देखते हैं सुना है दर्द की गाहक है चश्म-ए-नाज़ उसकी सो हम भी उसकी गली से गुज़र के देखते हैं सुना है उसको भी है शेर ओ शायरी से शग़फ़ सो हम भी मोज़िज़े अपने हुनर के देखते हैं सुना है बोले तो बातों से फूल झड़ते हैं ये बात है तो चलो बात कर के देखते हैं सुना है रात उसे चाँद तकता रहता है सितारे बाम-ए-फ़लक से उतर के देखते हैं सुना है दिन को उसे तितलियाँ सताती हैं सुना है रात को जुगनू ठहर के देखते ह

the keys to my house

She called my name thrice,  I could hear it the first time I sensed a trembling in her voice All she said was, that she is fine It came crushing down my spine How could things get ruined, by just one line? Maybe she prayed to all the sins, that I had in my closet I prayed to what I had left in my wallet The coin of despair, I never call on heads. Tails, is what it always shows, there’s more than what’s left A broken heart, is not what you should get, she poured Your name is like blood on a sword,  The keys to my house, I left them at your door, Our bodies could part, but what about the soul? What about it? she said I lost my self somewhere in your head. She called my name again This time, I could only see the pain. Where were you all this while, Your coin of despair, I’ll buy it, if you smile. I can’t smile, No more,  The keys to my house I left them at your door -Ankush Gupta

nostalgia

So when it does come, it leaves all the regrets outside the door.
