Kisi ki chahat hai...

Kisi ki chahat hai,
Ya khud ko hi dhund raha hun main,
Ye nahi mohbbat hai,
Ke bas ek dost dhund raha hun main,

Jise keh sukun,
Kya dil me hai,
Jis se puch sakun,
Har baat main,

Ke chod diya saath unka,
Jo the mere saath,
Ab karta hun intezaar kiska,
Failaye apne haath,

In viraani galiyon ko,
Khud hi to maanga tha maine,
Zehan sochta hai kisko,
Gam ka cholla pehne,

Ke baat nahi koi karne ko,
Jayaz bhi nahi ab koi guftagu,
Ke gumraah sa ho gaya hun ab to,
Kho gayi hai meri rooh,

Kis mugaltim me jita hun,
Ke sab nahi hai mere bas me,
Kyu nahi samjhta hun,
Ke nahi nibhayi jaati hai sab kasme,

Kuch to baat hai mujme,
Jise main nazarandaaz kar deta hun,
Dhundta hun main chain tujme,
Aur apne hi noor ko andekha karta hun,

Par fir bhi zarurat to hai,
Kisi ajnabee ki,
Ke adhuri meri kahani hai,
Mukamal nahi zindagi,

Ke dua ab to bas hai yahi,
Ke mila de ye hawaaein tujhse,
Dur na ho jaun tujhse kahi,
Ke chup na ab tu mujse,

Mil ja mujhe, Mil ja o ajnabee, Mil ja...

LOVE ONE LOVE ALL

I want to get back

I want to get back,
To the person I was,
I do want to get back,
To each of my lost cause,

I just want to smile,
As pristinely as I did,
So that things no more pile,
And break off the lid,

Well on second thoughts I don’t want a lid,
To bound me anymore,
No desire should anymore be hid,
No dream should turn sour,

I want to cherish the beauty,
Of each little moment,
Not to go running behind any booty,
And give up what time lent,

I want to see the joy,
That I saw when I looked at the sky,
Not thinking of some ploy,
Or just asking everyone why?

Why was it I to suffer?
Why was it I to blame?
Why was it I to flounder?
Why was it I who was lame?

I no more want to write about the pain,
I seem to know what all I don’t want to do,
I don’t want to hide my tears in the rain,
But about my future I seem to have no clue,

I want to set out,
Jump off that building,
To efface all doubt,
It’s not about self-killing,

It’s about enduring each day,
Each minute is a gift,
It’s like a child’s play,
Where everything moves swift,

The innocence hides all dismay,
The simplicity makes them giggle,
Chances are you’ll forget any fray,
And there’s always someone to mingle,

So here I end this story,
As its better to act than plan,
As in there’s no hurry,
But I would do everything with élan…

LOVE ONE LOVE ALL

Will i ever be with you again???

one day i saw you,
another i didn't,
and before i knew,
i just couldn't,

probably i shouldn't have said goodbye,
maybe i was just looking for a reason to fight,
maybe i was too dumb not to try,
and let you go off my sight,

i know i had issues,
but so did you,
but you were my only muse,
pure as the morning dew,

i no more seek any answer,
i have let go off many things,
i have dropped my armour,
have cut my wings,

i know i shouldn't miss you,
i know i shouldn't go back on my words,
but i no more have any clue,
my mind is like the flocking birds,

and as i see you passing away,
i just want to feel the innocence again,
that i saw when you did play,
on the swings,though a bit inane,

i dont know if i should,
but i dont wanna give up,
i have done all i could,
and there have been many a hiccup,

but i kept moving,
as i had said i will,
but times have been testing,
not the same old run of the mill,

I just want to try again,
so that we can remember each other with a smile,
i dont want our relationship to go in vain,
coz it was more than just a while,

i know it is difficult for you to trust,
but you know that i can adapt,
our memoirs may have caught rust,
but some have been well kept,

i dont want much,
just the chance to cherish my past,
i dont hope much,
but i believe these things would last,

so please give it a thought,
not litter the beautiful times,
the hapiness they brought,
are much purer than our crimes...

Love One Love All
