This morning

Opened the window this morning. Mynah's chirping in enthusiasm, a whiff of sweet morning air.

A girl walking on the street, looking into random cars, hoping to fix her hair. I wanted to shout out 'You look fine, don't worry you've got the flair'.

Why can't I be content like that ?

It's early morning, cool wind blowing

Humanity's asleep, the day is waking

A parrot on the wire, slowly swaying.

There's gentle sunlight, the sea is waving

A lady parrot flies in, sweetly chirping

They rub beaks together, they're simply loving

Why can't we be calm like that ?

Why can't I be content like that ?

But never kissed

The brooding silhouette of the Bandra seafront

Cast against the gray morning sky

Seems to talk about a night incessantly teased by rain

But never kissed.

And now it was day again.

Your time seems to be faster than mine

As the night surrendered,

To the morning chimes.

They lay lazily in bed together

Watching the waves light up with sunshine

As she got up to dress for office

He whispered "Your time seems to be faster than mine".

Dawn

Winter dawn on Daffodills,

Parrots kiss on the windowsill.

Your face mirroring the golden sky,

As we lay awake in the mornings sigh.

Good Morning

The sound of the sunlight,

Whispering as it fills the sky.

Wrapping its arms around the world

and letting you hear it's loving sigh.

Subah 2

Subah mein woh sannaata mila,

Kisi raat mein dhoonda tha kabhi.
