Some attempts at poetry, euphuism and lyricism. I usually try to be true to the old form (the kind of poetry I grew up with) with most of my work but do occasionally write in the new age styles.

I've lately been trying for a very simple meter but hope to gravitate towards doing some good pieces in the iambic pentameter.

Translation: Phir Dekhiye


This is the literal translation of 'Phir Dekhiye' from the soundtrack of the movie 'Rock on' it's sung by Caralisa Monterio and the Lyricist is Javed Akhtar


"Those who have some dream in their eyes
The ones who are happy are the ones 
who are a little restless


In your life let yourself have 
something you desire
and then see...


Those who have a song on their lips
Even when they lose 
they still win


Allow yourself to hum the song 
that's in your heart
and then see...


For those, who have 
someone in their memories
Every evening is like a dream


Let there be somebody, who, 
you give your heart to
and then see...


Weave a few dreams, 
hear a few songs, 
pick a few flowers
and then see..."
