Sit
Sit, drink your coffee here; your work can wait awhile.
You're twenty-six, and still have some life ahead.
No need for wit; just talk vacuities, and I'll
Reciprocate in kind, or laugh at you instead.
The world is too opaque, distressing and profound.
This twenty minutes' rendezvous will make my day:
To sit here in the sun, with grackles all around,
Staring with beady eyes, and you two feet away.
Vikram Seth

Ghazal - Sudarshan Fakir
Mere Dukh Ki Koi Dawa Na Karo
Mujhko Mujhse Abhi Juda Na Karo
Na-khuda Ko Khuda Kaha Hai To Fir
Doob Jaao Khuda-khuda Na Karo
Ye Sikhaya Hai Dosthi Ne Hame
Dosth Bankar Kabhi Wafa Na Karo
Ishq Hai Ishq Ye Mazaq Nahin
Chand Lamhon Mein Faishlaa Na Karo
Aashiqi Ho Ke Bandagi 'faakir'
Be-dili Se To Ye Fida Na Karo
Mujhko Mujhse Abhi Juda Na Karo
Na-khuda Ko Khuda Kaha Hai To Fir
Doob Jaao Khuda-khuda Na Karo
Ye Sikhaya Hai Dosthi Ne Hame
Dosth Bankar Kabhi Wafa Na Karo
Ishq Hai Ishq Ye Mazaq Nahin
Chand Lamhon Mein Faishlaa Na Karo
Aashiqi Ho Ke Bandagi 'faakir'
Be-dili Se To Ye Fida Na Karo
