the leaf landed
where I sat contemplating
the meaning of life
as I took the picture
suddenly I felt
that its fall
detached from its tether
deadened
aimlessly blown by the breeze
told me a lot

Thoughts on
A leaf no more ...
From a shimmering spot of colour
where light and breeze marry
to a rusted relic of itself,..
the leaf's life is all too brief
as it lies defeated by death.
Just as, shadows of former selves,
frayed at the edges and weary at the core
discarding all quests for the meaning of life,
withering away we await,
the triumph of death

... Waqt ki qaid mein zindagi hai magar
Waqt ki qaid mein zindagi hai magar
Chand gharhiyan yahi hain jo aazaad hain
Chand gharhiyan yahi hain jo aazaad hain
Inko khho kar kaheen jaan-e-jaan
Umr bhar na tarastey raho
Aaj jaane ki zid na karo
Haaye mar jaayeinge
Hum to lut jaayeinge
Aisi baatein kiya na karo
Aaj jaane ki zid na karo
Aaj jaane ki zid na karo ...
