If I don’t wake up tomorrow

Today I sleepA slumber so deep,I might not wake up tomorrow,While the world I keepWouldn’t care to peepInto the foreboding of my sorrow. Might I lie,If fine am I,It is the knell that peals yonder,That brings nighA will to dieTo end my ceaseless wander. Some

बीमार

ऐ बीमारतू है किसका शिकार ? शायद वो हवाजो चली थी सर्राटे से,बदल गई मिजाज तेरे,सिकोड़ गई तुझेअपने आवरण में,ले गई तुझे अपने भीतरखुद से अवगत कराने | या वो पानी जो तू पी गयाबिन सोचे समझे,तू कहता थापानी का रंग तोदिखता है प्यासे को,मैंने
