yaar kya karaiN?
koi suNta nahiN
koi bolta nahiN
lubb b’mohar aur
seesa kaanouN maiN*
sailing anchorless
pier to pier
shoulder to shoulder
smile to smile
in smoke filled rooms
and open skies
navigating help
non existential
who can tell how far
we have drifted
forever
yearning
of elusive peace
barely beyond reach
the nearer one comes
farther it remains
lubb b’mohar aur
seesa kaanouN maiN
batao karaiN
tou kya karaiN?
*lips sealed, lead filled ears

in smoke filled rooms
and open skies

the nearer one comes
