Sleepless in Seattle | Nano Poem


#nanopem Dedicated to a friend and mentor, and his wife who at that time was doing an internship in Seattle.

A glass of red wine and beach only made it more tempestuous!

Sleepless in Seattle

Hours apart, miles away,
pursuing dreams we battle...
solo days, lone nights,
towards you my mind rattle,
I lay under the moonlit sky,
While you are sleepless in Seattle.

Heart: Be Brave | Nano Poem

Recently I've started to make small attempts towards writing in Hindi, and have started to like it thoroughly. 
#nanopoetry

बड़ी  मुश्किलात से ये दिल  गुज़रता है ,

मोहब्बत का ऐसा है गुरूर।  
कभी तेरी इबादत में, कभी तेरे दीदार में 
और कभी तेरे इंतज़ार में,
पर सबसे मुश्किल है तुझी से नज़रे चुरा कर, तुझी से उम्मीदें रखना।

Next, I thought of using Google's translator and this is what it did to my sweet prose:


"These large Mushkilat undergoes heart

Love is such arrogance , Thy prayer ever , ever in your Didar And sometimes you wait , The Njhre stolen from you on , keep Ttuji expectations ."

Even, I did not understand what it means!


And, so here goes my version of this prose in English. I always feel that we lose a part of 'originality' when we convert something from one form to another! Yet, making a decent attempt to keep it as close to its original intended meaning.


Heart: Be Brave

"My heart has to go through multitude of adversities,
such is the arrogance of love.
At times in your prayer, at times in want of your sight,
and at times in waiting for you.
The toughest part however is to keep expectations, 
and to simultaneously keep clear."

Dear Translator - you did reduce my efforts :*


P.S.- I had to think of a title, and then I had to thank you Ashish.



Story of a Diary | Quote

A diary bears the edges of pages torn out of it.
Pages that bore memoirs of love, edges of the pain it bore.

Which works at higher frequency?



Every now and then this Universe imparts certain events which brings to me a memory of yours.
I wonder which works at a higher frequency, this Universe or my heart?
