आँखों देखी

हाथ लागी लागी नयी धूप 
आज लागी लागी नयी धूप 

के दिखे धुली साफ़ मन की चदरिया 
बिना दाग सारी डगरिया 
दसो दिशा आज संवरिया 
लिए नया रूप 

आज लागी लागी नयी धूप 
हाथ लागी लागी नयी धूप 

नज़र मेरी आज उडी है 
बिना कोई डोर हां 
जहा पाँव पड़ते जाए 
नहीं कोई छोर हां 

सुनी सुनी बात यही है 
नदी पार कुछ भी नहीं है 
दिखी आज वो नगरी है 
कही थी कही थी जो दूर 

आज लागी लागी नयी धूप 
आज लागी लागी नयी धूप 

नदी एक ताक रही है 
मिले कोई नाव 
सुबह एक फूट रही है 
मिले कोई गाँव 

डगर वही पहचानी है 
खबर वही जगजानी है 
आँख देखी तो मानी है 
जादू ये अनूठ 

आज लागी लागी नयी धूप 
हाथ लागी लागी नयी धूप।

Delusion Angel

Daydream delusion,
limousine eyelash
Oh baby with your pretty face
Drop a tear in my wineglass,
Look at those big eyes,
See what you mean to me,
Sweet-cakes and milkshakes.

I'm a delusion angel,
I'm a fantasy parade
I want you to know what I think,
Don't want you to guess anymore

You have no idea where I came from
We have no idea where we're going,
Lodged in life.
Like branches in a river,

Flowing downstream
Caught in the current
I carry you,You'll carry me.

That's how it could be.

Don't you know me?
Don't you know me by now?

- David Jewell

Thus spake Incoherence

'I'

I long for a day

When I’ll be content

I long for a day

When happiness will be an achieved intent

I long for a day

When there’ll be no anger to vent

I long for a day

When I’ll do for what I’m meant.

'You'

You shall grow

And so shall your longings

‘Cos for all that you’re worth

You’ll just gather belongings

What I see in you

Is what I see in me

In this sea of you and me

We make this life into a mockery

Here, there’s you and here’s your today’s life

But all you have to offer are longings rife

Oh let this moment pass, sure, you’ve sorrows to cope

We’ll just hang your today’s life to your bagpipe of constant hope

I’m not going to waste my words or my time

You keep on doing what for you is prime

You'll keep on longing for that momentous day

For as long as you may

Cos whatever I say or do

Till you sing your life’s song

All that you’re gonna do

Is long and long and long…

There was a time when I sang 'A-E-I-O-U'

That time’s long gone; to it, I’ve bid adieu

And all this time, I just kept on juggling,

Sometimes I was I, sometimes I was You.

Such is the state of affairs, the wordplay and the world play

That, to begin with, there was a clear 'I' & a precise 'You'

Now I live in a time, when I don't know,

What am I and what are You?
