Once upon a time
I saw an intellectual
Merged in heaps of books
Slept on tattered notebooks
Unsatisfied with all he had
Cutting with sharp knife of logic
Unending stream of arguments
Once that was good turned bad
And this bad should be better
Wrong ought to be corrected
And this correction should
Be further corrected
This is nothing but
Unending corrections of corrections
Without love and affection
Pure reason of character dual
Once upon a time
I saw an intellectual.

Motel justice
Our courts are like five star hotels
Open for everyone
But who have purse
Access into it
And purchase the justice
As per their choice
This is open and suppressed voice
Failed state and jumbled procedure
Walk together birds of the same feather
Lawful lawlessness
Accused and witness
This is rule of Law
Mingle with utter flaw
Friends and enemies
Purse that cost a pretty penny
It is all on sale
Whether  gallows or gale.

 बहस में है दुःख
और बहस में है सुख भी
अब उम्मीद भी बहस में है
करवटें किधर से किधर बदलती हैं
बदलती बहस भी बहस में है
सिर्फ मेरा दुख और
तुम्हारा दुःख अपना है
उम्मीदों पर बसा सुख
मात्र एक सपना है
बहस के कारीगर
अब सपने  छीन रहे हैं
हम दुःखी लोग
दुःख के ज्वालामुखी में
सिर्फ अपना दुःख
गिन रहे हैं
