A walk and a leaf in the autumn

"वो पत्ते पतझड़ के पेड़ों की शाखों से उतरे थे, वो पत्ते वो बेचारे फिर उगने की चाहत में वो शेह्राओं से गुजरे , वो पत्ते दिल थे | दिल तो आखिर दिल है ना... मीठी सी मुश्किल है ना ... दिल से रे दिल से है !! "-... Gulzar

Walking my way on the yellow bed,

Leaves of dreams with despair ahead ,

Each step calls for a wait too long

Crushing every leaf to which I belong ...

Dreams of heaven of mirth and laughter

Was it deemed to always become farther and farther

Winds of every season blowing apart its skeleton

Death could have been better in a dungeon

But destined as always for a fate belittled,

The leaves kept swirling and became increasingly twiddled

Until one day all its tears were soaked in the sun

Nothing left within to put forward an emotion...

Finally the last wind in the life moved in

A breeze else where but a whirlpool within

Stressed and troubled it did writh in pain

but in vain with at all no gain

Scattered into cents ,blasted at once

Such was the life of an autumn leaf once in a bunch
