They say he never sleeps,
Eyes wide, a steady gaze,
Not from the buzz of late-night thoughts,
But from the quiet pace of days.
Yet something lingers in his stillness,
A shadow wrapped in light,
A flicker of a restless mind,
Too quiet in the night.

जिंदगी का सफर और फिर दोस्तों का साथ हो
हर शाम मस्त और सुबह जैसे नई सौगात हो
बाहर से बड़ी बड़ी बातें, खाली इनके जज्बात हैं
असली दोस्त वही है जो मुसीबत में खड़े साथ हैं
इंसान ही असली माया है बाकी सब मोह माया है
हर पल जिओ भरपूर,कल देख कौन आया है

और जो दौड़ रहे थे पैसे के पीछे अपनी आंखे मीचे

Peaches heated by my sun
A dress so simple and so cotton

Back home

Would the wind caress the ankles
Like it did so many times before
Would that land eventually remember
That her daughter is left outdoors?

A secret moment of private thought
perhaps in thanks for mishap averted
or farewell
or supplication for relief of pain
…
some call it Prayer
They say he never sleeps,
Eyes wide, a steady gaze,
Not from the buzz of late-night thoughts,
But from the quiet pace of days.
Yet something lingers in his stillness,
A shadow wrapped in light,
A flicker of a restless mind,
Too quiet in the night.

Ein Raum wird leer,
kein Laut,kein Schatten,
nur Staub in der Luft,
vom Licht getragen.
Die Schritte verhallen,
zurück bleibt nichts,
nur die Erinnerung,
verblasst wie Nebel im Morgen.
