सितारों की बारातें



दिल में आजकल सितारों की बारातें आतें न कभी|
फरिश्तों का रोज़ाना नाचना भी होता न कभी|
इतनी बड़ी सीने में जगह की कमी बहुत है आजकल|
क्या करूं, फैली हुयी तुम्हारी यादें  हटती न कभी



धडकन में तेरा नाम की गूँज बंद हुई न कभी|
मेरे आईने में तेरा चेहरा देर तक था न कभी|
मेरा साया बनकर साथ में जो चलती हो तुम|
क्या कहूँ, तन्हाई में मैं तन्हा हूँ भी न कभी

My Valentine - My grandma



At your age, there possibly can be no dates
All I can do, is to buy some seedless dates
It has been long since you have lost your mates
I offer myself- share your loves and hates.

During crisis, you stood by me like a rock
Never did you allow anyone else take a baulk
Time for me, dear grandma, to return the favour
And try to bring a little colour, just that extra fervour.

It indeed is an honour, this day, to make you my Valentine
Though your fragile frame can't see life, long and serpentine
Allow me grandma, to make the most of today for you
For, in your trembling arms, I become a child again, so true.

❤D
