Dreams we shall never ..never see again


A thousand desires such as these
A thousand moments to set this night on fire
Reach out and you can touch them
You can touch them with your silences
You can reach them with your lust
Rivers mountains rain
Rain against a torrid hill’s cape
A thousand
A thousand desires such as these

I loved rain as a child
As a lost young man
Empty landscapes
Bleached by a tired sun
And then
And then suddenly it came
Like a dark unknown woman
Her eyes scorched my silences
Her body wrapped itself around me
Like a summer without end

Pause me hold me reach me
Where no man has gone
Crossing the seven seas
With the wings of fire
I fly towards nowhere
And you
Rivers mountains rain
Rain against a scorched landscape of pain

A dialogue with the Almighty


Poore ka poora aakash ghuma karke baazi dekhi meine

Kaale ghar mein suraj rakh ke tumne shayad socha tha mere saare mohre pit jayenge
Meine ek chirag jala ke apna rasta khol liya

Tumne ek samanadar haath mein lekar mujhpe dhel diya
Meine noah ki kashti uske upar rakh di

Kaal chala tumne aur meri janib dekha
Meine kaal ko tod ke lamha lamha jeena seekh liya

Meri khudi ko tumne chand chamaktkaro se maarna chaha
Mere ek pyaade ne tera chand ka mohra maar kiya

Maut ki sheh de kar tumne socha tha ab to maat hui
Meine jism ka khol utar ke sounp diya aur rooh bacha li

Poore ka poora akash ghuma kar ab tum dekho baazi…

-Gulzar's words in Naseeruddin voice
