Where the blue boy
Of Brindavan
Fluting the pipe
And Radha trying
To overhear
Giving an ear
To the music
So melodiously
Calling?
A Fairly Tall Girl
Rajanigandha
Standing
With a bouquet
Of fragrant icy-white blooms
To present.
An Image
Gandhi
The old man
With the charkha
Spinning yarn
From the handloom wheel
Conjures upon
The mind’s plane.
A Shayar
I am a shayar
Just for you, my love
And you coming to me
In terms of shayri
And my romantic shayrana andaz.
The Red Rose
So dazzling and fast-coloured
Is it
The red rose
Gaudy and florid
With the dew drops
Sprinkled over
The dreamy petals.
