Sabr, Patience

Sabr ki bhi ek had hoti hai Saahil

Kitna kare jo phir bhi kam hai

Imtihaan hai ye mushkil

Kya pata laapata kyun mann hai

Ab be-intehaan ek junoon hai bas

Koshish aur waqt phir se na ho zaaya

Kuch aur naye alfaazon ke khonj mein

Is phakira ne phir se rukhh hai badla

Na chaah rahi koi saath ki ab khudi taaqat hai banna

Aur akele hi safar taye hai karna!

Couplet 4:

Nabeena hum unke gustakhiyon se

Etemaad humein unke bewafayi pe

Kare bhi to kya karein, dil-e-nadaan

Aakhir ishq hai unke inhi berookhiyon se

Silhouette

A trail of shadowy silhouette

Of all that is gone and past

Of all that is imprinted

Of all that had once impressed

Embossed on panels of frozen time

Raven black deep down in frames of mind
Addendum:
har lamha guzarta gaya caravaan ke tarah un raahon mein
khwaab yakeen hua jo ab kaid yaadon ke daayron mein
bahoot khoob dekhaa jo jannat-e-kashmir dekha
mere saahil ka gul-e-gulshan gulistaan jo dekhaa

An Escapist

Colored imagery on tapestry

En route to fiction and fables

Dreaming unknown away from real

A stare in the magic mirror

Not to face truth, rather the ethereal

The parallel dimension,

Where no time tik-toks

A road carved of florals

No stones or prickly thorns

Silly symphony in every heartbeat

No wise, no king

The birds always happily sing

No ruffles and dries

Theres always spring

Into that realm

The escapist dwells

Threads all myths and fancies

In an unreal moorish heath

Liberated!

Liberated!
Copyright © SHRAVANI MUKHERJEE

Free from the mystical enchantment

Washed away are the paints from fancies

New lenses that seek beyond sugar-coated words

Un-imprinted impressions from the memories

The walls built again with promises

The journey starts anew

A sweet new melody in the air

Its springtime!

Rainbow colors on hair

The liberated soul dreams and dares

To walk the miles and spread the wings

Tis said in love and war, everythings claimed to be fair

Create a tune, a song to play

Theres a goal to reach

Moving on and not just wait and stare

With all the dear and loved ones

Besides forever with fond and care

PURGATORY

No soul, not sane

The human is not anymore humane

Evolved retrograde

Every prosper is unmade

Blind, dumb or deaf to...

The sin graver or sinner?

Silence indeed costs a millions

A Million more innocence.

The fire within ignites

Burn burn thou demons in purgatory

Yet ashes scattered and splurred

Of the Sita since eons of time!
