To Mom on her b'day....miss you loads.....

Aaj pehli baar...
Hum char...
Mujhe unn char dishayo se lage
Jo judd kar bhi...saath ho kar bhi na mile...
...

Kuch haasil karne ki hasrat iss dil mein liye....
Anjaan iss gum se ki kya sukuunn kho diye.....
Chalte chalte hum durr nikal aaye....
Hasraton ke baadal hum par muskarayen....

Aaj ma ka janamdin hai...
Aur mera pehla vo din hai...
Jab mein unke karib nahi....
Iss khayal ne aaj fir rulaya...
Toh dil ne majboor hoke khud hi samjhaya....

Na ro ke ab toh ye naseeb hai.....
Khuda ka shukr hai ke jin ki chahat hai vo dil ke karib hai....

Garam-Burf si Zindagi…..

Bheege khwaab liye in aankhon mein
Un ujlee raaton ke saiyon mein
Ye shor machati khamoshiyan
Garam-burf si guzurti ye zindigiyan…..
...

Badla-badla sa ye saara aalam hua
Jaana pehchana anjanaa sa maluum hua
Ret sa sarakta…ye waqt yu guzartaa
Koi purana gunah jaise qubool karta…..

Na koi dard hai mere paas
Na koi nai khushi ka aagaaz
Toh phir kyu aaj inn aankhon mein
Hai ye nami ka ehsaas……

Tere paas na hoke tere saath hone ka sukoon
Tabdeel kar detee hai
Iss garam-burf si guzurti zindagi ka rukh…..
Aur ek aawaaz si sunayee deti hai ….ki chalo thoda aur jeete hai….
Iss garam-burf si zindagi ko….chalo thoda aur jeete hai…..

IT RAINS BUT DOESN’T RAIN ENOUGH…….

Each passing day…brings me closer to you…

Each passing moment …I feel drifting away….

There are some heart-warming things so swish….

In this life…..all that’s there…..wish I could wish…..

I wait for it to rain and I wait for so long….

It never rains enough to let me complete my song….

I wish for the sun and I wish for the rain….

To have that one rainbow that can end all the pain….

Time is running and the World stood still….

I hold my heart hard but the emotions spill….

Love finds its place even when heart is rife…..

There are some inner battles in everyone’s life…..!!

Abode....

There is a long road I walked
There are dreams to be unlocked
Few games that I love to play
Few promises to make everyday

The self created struggles
The mindless tiring juggles
The heart that feels but defies
Doesn't utter a word....such is life

At times I lead; At times I follow
I laugh aloud so it hides the hollow
If I sit back thinking
I see my world shrinking

Then I think of the road I walked
And all the dreams that are yet to be unlocked
Each day the games I play and the promises I make
Those sparkling smiles and their belief I can never shake

No matter whatever it takes
Whatever it ensues
I will walk the road
Until I find my quiet abode

dheema sa shor.....

Hai ek meetha sa durr…..
Kuch dheema sa shor…..
Zara si ye uljhan….
Vo door jata bachpan…

Ek chorr mere haath….ek chorr kuch door….
Ja ja ke laut aati teri yaad…ye dil hai majboor….

Itni roshni meree rahon mein suraj ne bekheri….
Haath uthau dua ko aur sir jhukau sajde mein teri…

Iss dil mein khwaish ka mela sa sajaa hai…
Wahi bandhan aur ehsaas ka rela sa laga hai…

Yahi sochte sochte mann mein meetha sa ek durr sa laga hai…
In khamoshiyon mein dheere se kuch shor sa machaa hai….

The Unsaid....

An unfinished book on that table
That incomplete story in my head
Few promises that were made never
Some moments saved in the heart shed
There is a life we commonly lead
Looking for the eye that pays heed
For the story we all want to tell
Makes us appear glowing and well
But there is a story that goes unsaid
There is a story that stays incomplete
That keeps our life rolling
That makes us look ahead
And that keeps us alive…….
It’s called LIFE…..!!
