बुरी आदत (हाइकु)

हर रोज़ रूठना, मनाना, झगड़े, शिकायतें 

फिर भी दूर-दूर नहीं रह सकते 

एक-दूसरे की बुरी आदत हैं हम...

Leave and let live

Let me leave

Come on, please

Until when would I

Put up with you

Until when 

Shall we tolerate

Each other

And why?

For the sake of love?

And what is love for?

Go on

Talk about

That crumpled ideal 

Of selfless love  

Finding happiness 

In the happiness of lover

I would continue to agree 

Only if I were 

A crack-brained masochist

Accepting all that pain 

From my lover

As a pleasure

But hello! good morning!

I would rather

Seek happiness for me

Through a direct route

We fell in love

It was a beautiful feeling

Which made me happy 

It used to, 

Before it ebbed out

Now that 

It doesn't gladden

Rather saddens my heart

I would like to go away 

Let's not pick on 

The goodie me baddie you

The angelic one is who 

I give it to you

Had you not been happy

I don't say 

You won't have stayed

With me 

But I am not you 

What to do

So shallow a person

I am!
