Wander


To wander to be one of few
To wander to be anxiously true

To pass on the courage to the deficit
To urge them to keep moving through

To be honest as the sunshine
To be calm as when the winds breathe low

I wander to be a wanderer
Till the rituals walk with the shadow and soul.

- Rahul Srivastava

Of seeing you in blue,
suits you more than true.

You froze me like an olaf,
between the hemlock tree and the snow.

A woman like a sun of my smile,
you carry your heels better than grace of any style.

A red wine and a song,
you dance like a princess over the dawn.

I am soaring high,
with the memories behind.

- Rahul Srivastava

कि कुछ हमसे किनारे ऐसे छूट गए
कुछ यार थे जो पुराने रूठ गए

नाराजगी में भी वो हस्ते रहे हम मुस्कुराते रहे
इस दोस्ती कि बागबानी को आज भी हम सिचते रहे

तुम सुनो तो बताएं खैरियत अपनी
आज भी दिलों पर लिखने का हुनर आता है

Imagination that stumbled in the void,
There is still time and the nodding science.

Distanced by dream, a wind broken tree
Beneath the roots silence pipes the magic tune.

Passing light years, stone by stone
The existence can be seen on patriarch's brow.

I lay my void in the dust,
Where marble crumbles and asks what the time has done.

Hope

Hold fast to your dreams,
In the barren field,
Just like hopes springing high.

Choose the way,
One which is travelled less,
Move with gentle light,
And reach the farthest heights.

Lift your own lamp to discover the golden doors,
By the time you stand still with your silhouette.
Solved the fearful Symmetry,
The silent lips will free the huddled masses.

काश कि कुछ अल्फ़ाज़ हमें भी मिल जाए,
बादल फिजा में ज़िन्दगी तस्वीर बन जाए,

जो परिंदे उडें हैं हौसले लिए,
उम्मीद है कि उन्हें काफिलें मिल जाए ।

The summer we sat our backs to the beach,
with the bloated moon and the rising breeze.

Strutting around,
carrying the silent beat,
the mild wind offers me unscarmple sleep.

Unwearied, walking eternly on the iron stake,
the return may be is the moment of conception,
with care this is the sweet oblivion.
