    परिचय

    आज धूल चटी किताबों के बीच
     ज़िन्दगी का एक भूला पन्ना मिल गया
     धुँधले से लफ़्ज़ों के बीच
     पहचाना सा एक चहरा खिल गया
     अलफ़ाज़ पुराने यकायक जाग उठे
     मानो सार नया  कोई मिल गया
     दो पंक्तियों के चंद लमहों में
     एक पूरा का पूरा युग बीत गया
     आज धूल चटी किताबों के बीच
     मुझ को मैं ही मिल गया

    Man in the Mirror

    I look in the mirror and try to place the face I see
     Is this the man that ten year old wanted to be
     Years have passed, time enough to have all the boxes ticked
     I remember the ten year old had a list
     The face in mirror has a dismissive look
     I gave it a shot and all that it took
     I did some of that and even more
     This ship has sailed now to many a shore
     I sense your pride said the boy
     You have the riches but where's the joy
     Happiness now is a mere pretence
     Blissful seems a life of ignorance
     You will learn in time about the rat race
     Have to give up a lot to find your place
     Gave up a dream or may be two
     What could've been no time to rue
     One last thing the boy said
     What I see now I don't look forward to
     When I am older I won't be you
     With those words the mirror cracked
     Suddenly I had a hundred me s
     Not one of them who I wanted to be
     I don't remember when or where the boy got lost
     I have to find him at any cost
