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...

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

in the silence of the night,
i am eager to hear a voice,
the voice of my inner plight,
why is it not able to make a noise?

i seldom give myself a chance,
to make peace with my soul,
i just give it an inadverdent glance,
and wander away from my goal,

but was it that i seek,
beacause i just beat around the bush,
my fortune seems a little bleak,
very badly needing a forward push,

every thought seems so shallow,
each emotion so fake,
failure after failure to swallow,
putting my life at stake,

no more can i take the pain,
no more the thought of losing it all,
no more can i let everything go in vain,
it's high time for me to make a call,

to stand up,
and tell myself,
no to give up,
and believe in self,

it's i who made it here,
it's me who will go burning down,
it's me who has nothing to fear,
it's me who will have to frown,

i see all of it going away,
the radiance changing to dim skies,
no one looks like is here to stay,
the world is full of lies,

the friends i thought i had,
the people i was counting on,
are the ones making me sad,
it's like life's singing the wrong song,

i no more expect much out of anyone,
i don't do much myself,
i think my golden days are gone,
and i have become an elf,

no more able to reach,
evrything seems so far away,
it's something time had to preach,
taking away all the gay,

but i will bounce back,
at least i wish to do so,
and once again i'll be on the track,
and that day everyone will know,

that i can do it,
alone, if i may have to,
their eyes may not be lit,
but they'll surely get to know...

Do you have the time?

Do you have the time,
is this how you want to live?
i know you are not mine,
but don't u have anything to give?

a moment of yours,
is a day to me,
get over the scars,
somethign new to see,

letting go off it all,
is not something that i seek,
but baby when we fall,
on minute things, we give a peak,

and then we realise,
how beautiful it all was,
and the heart cries,
coz it's too big a loss,

i dont know,
if i'll ever forget about you,
i dont know,
if it was too gud to be true,

but i know a thing,
that i did spoil it,
and i have been wondering,
did i lose all my wit,

i just wanted you,
to ask me once more,
did i knew,
you will show me the door,

but still i took the chance,
and went the other way,
you didn't give me a glance,
and i stepped into dismay,

i wept and cried into the night,
i waited for you,
to efface my plight,
but my pain grew,

and you never showed up,
you never looked towards me again,
did i too give up,
hiding my tears in the rain,

i just wanted you to hold me,
just let me know you are there,
it was as difficult a time as it could be,
i just wanted you to show me, that you care,

tear down the mountain,
not to give up,
tell me that it is all not in vain,
it's just another hiccup,

but there i was,
stranded all alone,
life hit a pause,
all good was gone,

and now i look at you again,
to ask you if you want to start afresh,
i don't know if i sound lame,
but i want to get out of this mesh,

would you hold my hand,
and show me the way out,
i am lost in an unknown land,
loosing every bout,

no more would i ask,
as i may digress and say something i dont want to,
i want to shed my mask,
just answer this, only if you want to...


Love One Love All...

There is a lot to say...

There is a lot to say,
But words won’t suffice,
My heart's in dismay,
And my hopes don’t rise,

I want to tell you everything,
But have an inherent fear,
What results it would bring,
Repercussions one can’t bear,

So I conceal myself from everyone,
And act like someone, I no more am,
And all my life is undone,
All the while it has just been a sham…

Shayar nahi main to ek diwana hun...

shayar nahi main to bas ek diwana hun,
firta hun jaane kin galiyon me,
jaane kin khwabon me kho jaata hun,
puchta hun jaane kis se,
aur sawaal bhul jaata hun,
ruth jaata hun khud se,
ya tere intezaar me shayar ban jaata hun,
ke mohbbat karegi kya tu bhi mujse,
is soch me doob jaata hun,
fir keh deta hun khud se,
shayar nahi main to ek diwana hun...
