When I Let Her Go

When I let her go
I didn't really know
How much I would miss her
Slowly as she became out of sight
I also slowly forgot
Why I had to dismiss her

I guess she grew faster than me
Became old and faded fast
Her heavy eyes, fulfilled, may be with tears
But she would say me nothing
Wouldn't show me her face
Giving me the eye-aches, sharp and severe

The dust in front of my eyes
Contaminates them, red and sore
Still invisible to my range
She still had her face
Turned back and away
Even the fire in my eyes didn't change

I begged her to face me
Face my love, my determination
For once I think she began to turn
I saw her face, oh holy grace
I couldn't recognize her
My burning eyes could never learn

Today when I was with my friends
I saw her again
Happy to see me the way I was
But now I know
Why I couldn't identify her that day
I wasn't who I was.

The hills of sand

The hills of sand
Quick to stand, quicker to fall
And the phone begs you to receive the call
Your body aches, mind endlessly calculates
The sums of sorrow, the differences from past
What things have tumbled down, what have last
But like the shadows casted due to atom bombs
Some things you can't take off, son
So till there is light in the sky
And the sand hills are still high
You don't need to frown, no need to lie
Because there are still a few
Who are needed to brought back to life
Still a few to be shown what's there out of strife
And when you see them coming along
Hope for a good thing
And move on.


The pain is old, the pain has grown
The string that slipped from my hand
The balloon that had flown
When the opportunity passes without giving a chance
When you couldn't even take a glance
The fruits from your tree looted
Then the tree is itself uprooted
For the trespasser, you don't need to run
No need to pinch the brain, no waiting for your turn
Because you know the tiny seconds multiply into years
So will your anger, so will your fears
Why fool around when you have the whole orchard to take care
As I look above, I see the balloon watching me
Telling me about what's there left to meet
And even when you've rubbed your eyes red
For hundreds of seconds
And if you still feel awakened
The hope has worked for you son
So, well done.

उठ उठ मेरा भाई

उठ उठ मेरा भाई
जाग जाग मेरा भाई
अढेस लाएर उङ्न छोड
यथार्थ बनाउ सपनाहरुलाई

घाम झुल्किँदै चम्क तिमी
ढोका खुलै छन, अघि लम्क तिमी
बिर्सि आफ्ना दुःख, लुकाई आफ्ना चोट
सम्भावनाका कथा लेख्दै गमक्क गम्क तिमी

गलती नै होस बरु, तर त्यो देख्ने गर
मिहिनेतले ईर्ष्यालाई छेक्ने गर
यो माटोको खुइलेको शान चम्काउन
इतिहासका पानाले मात्र आँखा सेक्ने गर

जातभेदको बगैँचामा नडुल
बरु एक एक गर्दै नियाल सबै फुल
आँखै अघि बगानै उजाडिँदा पनि
पानी हाल्न किन गर्छौ भुल

त्यसैले उठ उठ मेरा भाई
जाग जाग मेरा भाई
जुटेर डटेर अघि बढ्ने बेला भो
झिस्मिसे लोभ होइन, फराकिलो बनाउ आफ्नो सोचलाई
