TUM KUCH NAHI
Tu kuch nahi,
Tera bharpoor bahav
Mere soonepan mein
Tera jeevan khooli
chaadar
Per tu hai, aur hai
bhi nahi
You mean nothing Yet why do you seem to mean so much, I am not with you But then, why do you seem to be with me
Just like the open expanses of the skies That enfolds one and all, Why do you Continue to enfold me to yourself;
I stand still, bound within my boundaries Do not erase my boundaries, That ONE I seek Do not make yourself that him;
Your unending flow Is not like the soft breeze that courses But it is more like the rippling stream That sings while seemingly not singing;
Oh do not infuse so much Affection in to my loneliness, Do not pour your entire world Into mine and entangle it so
You are like a free bird in the open skies Flying free wherever you would I am one that has no desire to fly Nor would I be able to… so do not call me
Your world is like an unfurled wrap That sweeps one and all into its warmth I wear just one garment Which is non inviting and invites none
And yet, you are there and not: It is all beyond my comprehension Who, what and whence you come from But, still you remain, and remain not
