About an unknown lady Oft I wonder what beauty is; And where lies the beauty,…

What is love I am yet to know So are nature and loneliness I am yet to know and understand But in dishes like "Coming Home"…

A bride - - - - - - - - - Upon the verge; Of some new dawn…

Absence Absence lingers in my mind; Absence of something,…

A carefree life - - - - - - - - - - - Between the cradle; And the grave…

A compliment seemed Stealing away her dreams Turned out to be The anguish in disguise…

A creative mind - - - - - - - - - - - They say habits die with habits And with time I believe it…

In chains, though born free; Until the day she was set free Born to a nameless family Afflicted with abject poverty…

As it may seem you were not seen And many a spring, many an autumn Many a summer and many a winter Have passed but not unseen and solitary…

People call you Krishna People call you Kanha I call you the Lord of Universe (Jagannath) For you rule with justice and kindness…

The sad episode of life is that One has to comply with its truth And you will have to one day May be tomorrow or today…

A dreamer - - - - - - - In visions of yesterday's night Of the night bird's sweeping flight…

A dream recalled - - - - - - - - - - - I know a land where I had been once in night's cover…

You are happier; In good humour And laugh fuller To the corner…

A face so familiar So close and dear A voice so common Missed on many an occasion…
