Pyar

chand tak-taki laga kar 
khidki par 
sunta hai uske geet 
woh jo khayalon mein khoyi rehti hai din bhar 
jhalli jise waqt ki khabar nahin 
koi ata- pata nahin 
neend jisse roothi hui hai 
taaron ko gini hai 
nadiyon se batiyati hai 
na jaane aaj kal khud se he muskarati hai 
pyar hai pagli jab kehti hai chandni 
toh ghunghta kiaad mein sharam se laal ho jaati hai 


Dreamless

remember the time when you had dreams 
when you believed you could be something 
when you could fly into the sky 
spreading your wings, 
aspirations soaring wildfire
the time when you could be anything 
and these days when they ask me 
what do you wannabe 
i am lost 
thinking hard of what my answers shouldn't or should be 
priority to what other's think, their wishes 
denying my own dreams 
is being ideal suffering under the load of expectations?
the rage of living keeps on ruling onto me 

the times when i sued to dream
when life was equal to easy 
today i feel distress 
and a dark hole 
where somewhere my passions used to beat 
my obsessions, my crazy fucking obsessions
swallowed my hunger and subtly 

flawed, a dark hole
where it used to beat 
and now 1, 2, 3 
all is DEAD

Sardi ka Mausam

jab sans ka gubbara dhuan hone lage
jab dil mein tumhare koi aag si sulagane lage 
shishe mein nami jamne lage 
aur bache naam likhne lage 
arman kuch jalne lage 
thnadi hawayein chalne lage 
aur padosi hearter ki shikayate karne lage 
jab hatheleyan yunhi jebein tatolane lage 
aur pyar har aur mehakane lage 
mera dil jab tumari he aahein bharne lage 
aur koi tadap tumhare dil mein uthne lage 
phool jab kisi baat par ruthne lage 
aur gaadi jab us se sajne lage 
daulat ki chat jab kuchon mein bikne lage 
saundhi khushboo gajrele ki jab yunhi mehakane lage 
aur rangeen botle apne aap he kholne lage 
jab tumhare kisse kahanyon mein woh dobne lage 
jab kohre kagaz chidane lage 
jab thanda bistar satane lage 
jab meri duniya tum mein basne lage 
aahatein jab tumhe uksane lage 
toh chaukhat par tumhare chaahe main na bi hoon
par sardi ka mausam dastak de chuka hoga.....

Beabroo

reshmi chadaron si zindagi 
jispe waqt ki silvate padi 
har raat bas yunhi kata karti hai 
log aate hain,
log jaate hain
kuch kehte nahin
koi itni zehmat karta nahin ki mera naam bhi puch leh 
yeh phoolon si saji sej 
aur roz dulhan se saja yeh bazaar 
chandni ki raunak mein naumaiysh hoti hai meri
boli lagti hai meri 
beabroo roz bikti hu main

I want to Love the way They did

i wan to love the way they did in those times and old movies 
when words had worth 
when smiles could sneak life into dried roses 
when it was all simple 
less humans, lived humanity 
i want to love the way Romeo loved Juliet 
the way Ranjha fell for Heer 
they defined love 
can anyone forever wait and be devoted? 
hard to see 
let it be 
i want to love the way they did 
tell me? don't you agree?
i want my love to rebel 
only to end up with me 
i want to fall in love impulsive, spontaneously 
when i laid my eyes on her 
a smile, nerves racing 
i skip a heart beat 
every inch of my body celebrating 
rejoicing, singing "I Found Love"
havens could bless me 
i want to love no one- sided love like Ranbir 
i want to love the love that's Kamil, all complete 
i wan to love the love that never leaves 
make me stay, stay patiently 
going through it all crossing fires and endless waiting 
so i could exclaim, this feeling, the magic as it appears to me 
i want to love the way the great Ghalib wrote in poetry 
when impressions didn't matter 
no set rules or gaming standards 
when love was worship 
i want to fall in love, love @ first sight 
may she reside in me , living breathing 
even though outta sight 
oh! i want to love the way they did in those times and old movies 
when love was above all reasoning 
thousand words belittled 
when love acted upon silently 
i want to love the way did in those times and old movies 
and if i can't love the way i want to 
that i'd stay unattached, unbothered 
remain unloved, 
to suit my needs
