Clouds gather,
winds stop - no rain,
- clouds gather,
stormy winds, torrential rain
- states of mind!

Village in Punjab
Vivid and expanding view,
like a landscape painter's canvas
- unpolluted peace

Positive Thinker
Tired, staggering, falling,
walking, crawling, creeping, moving ahead,
- overwhelming obduracy

Cell Phone Curse
Twilight phase
Lost in thoughts, catharsis

Prayer Honoured
I prayed aloud,
in midnight walk
-O'Gracious Lord!
I need company of a selfless friend
and I kept walking
on the circular track.
Then, I heard footsteps
right behind me -
head bent down,
a black dog followed!

A Darwesh to God
On my heart's media player,
I've been listening - since long:
instrumentals of your love
- send me please,
copy of the video song
- O'my Lord!

Cul-de-sac
The last drops of milk :
lethargic fly sucks, in my cup
- Autumn leaf lands atop

Abrar Salik's Photo to Ahmad Kamran
Cries in pain and yearns -
Hang me on your wall of heart :
rest your friend in peace

(Yesterday I got a message from Ahmad Kamran about the death of his friend Abrar Salik. I don't know who this gentleman was but he was my half name-sake. So, the poem occurred without any thinking.)

On Namita Gupta's Status
Floating with the waves:
in the river of spiritual peace -
lost, to find her SELF!
06:22 - 17-02-11
(The poem just occurred at the moment of first sight of the profile picture of Namita Gupta with the so thought-provoking status 'Lost'.)
Cosmic Thought
SMS from space -
in this universe, we are :
neighbours, aliens not!

Haiku - 11 - Deception?
Day, in hectic job,

Why he walks alone?
midnight puzzled, silence dumb,
footsteps whisper, O'man!

Dim scary shadow,
when I stop and turn around,

Haiku - 7 - Walking Mate
Edited. Now read as :
midnight walker's mate
floating beyond clouds, moon-
floating beyond clouds, moon-
chilling silence smiles
(Floating beyond clouds, moon!
midnight walker's lonely mate:
chilling silence haunts)

Haiku - 5 - Compulsions
Cloudy cool weather:
outing still a wishful thought,
chains of compulsions!
