Zindagi...

कभी हमने ज़िन्दगी से मजाक किया
कभी ज़िन्दगी ने हमसे
कभी हम खुल के हंसे
कभी न खुल पाए न हंस ही सके

कल जो चौराहे पे मिली
शायद वो ज़िन्दगी ही थी
लेकिन कुछ इस तरह मिली
कि मिलने की प्यास फिर भी रह गयी

शायद आईने में जो मुरझाई पड़ी है
वो ज़िन्दगी है
या फिर कौने में धुल खाती किताब
वो भी ज़िन्दगी है

ये सवाल ज़िन्दगी है
या इनके जवाब ज़िन्दगी है
ज़िन्दगी ही ज़िन्दगी है
या इसका इंतज़ार ज़िन्दगी है

कभी सोचता हूँ अकेले में
हर एक वो सोच ज़िन्दगी है
या फिर दोस्तों के बीच
वो हर एक पागलपन ज़िन्दगी है

मैं ज़िन्दगी हूँ
या मेरा अधूरापन ज़िन्दगी है
जब ये रोये तो जिंदगी है
या इसका हर एक मजाक ज़िन्दगी है???

She never said anything...

Life is tough
And so will be ever
Coz there will be sun again
But days would be dark forever.

His heart is heavy
May be full of dreams
But it's hanging on little hope
A pin head may be much larger.

She was always the same
Come winter, summer or rain
But things changed somewhere
In between those changing seasons.

Dreams were never so small
To let them go one day
But they never grew enough
So to find a shelter under them.

But she was there
Perhaps real than any dream
But dreams were his own
And she was still a "she".

There lies one world
Waiting to be explored
But there lies one question
What if there is no world there?

This road will lead to her
Heart knows all for sure.
But will it reach to her?
Mind has it's own doubts.

He is standing there
And there are thunders waiting
She looked at him for once
Could he asked for more?

She is walking
May be away from him
She called his name
And heart is on the way.

Happiness is what heart knows about
But mind is just dragging along
One wants to reach there just now
Others knows perhaps something else.

Time flew and so did heart
He is there where she was
But she is not there
Or she was never?

He wants to cry
Coz heart is alone
There is a long journey back
Or there is no way?

Sun rays are wet
So are shattered dreams
But he doesn't know whom to blame
She never said anything.

I know i can fly...

I am awake
So is my mind
We usually talk to each other
Sometimes I am my mind only.

Sometime I am the heart
At that time we discuss all the things
The good, bad and ugly
And we talk like old friends.

So I am awake
Its one more dawn
Those crisp sound of birds
Making a jingle around me.

I feel a giggle of child inside me
A thought came across to catch the moment
But wait
I have to wait.

It will take time
Before I can go and touch
But my mind is there
Grabbing all it can.

And it came back
Living those moments once more
It doesn't need something to walk on
It just flies across.

There is something inside me
Which is missing all the thing outside
Something is saying
I am not what i wanted me to be today.

And mind is still talking about
Those all people walking outside
Going somewhere or perhaps no where
One more time.

There is a sudden desire
To walk swiftly
May be I will run away
To that shop round the corner.

Wait...
But I have to wait.
But mind is still talking
As it is too happy to keep mum.

It has seen something
Which I couldn't today
And it will make me feel
Miss all those things thousand times.

And there is a sudden void
And there is a sudden fill
Here comes the heart
Don't know where it was since the morning.

May be it was still sleepy
Or was it hidden inside me?
Now it is talking
But now I am me.

I am not my heart anymore
I am the mind now
I have seen all those things
I just flew across the window.

Heart is telling things will be fine
Sooner than I expect
Its telling nothing is wrong
Its just one of those day.

But I am not listening
I am happy
I am my mind now
And I know I can fly...

Deep inside...

Jab khamosh ho jati hai juban,
To bol jati hai dhadkane.
Fir tere ek hi ehsaas se,
Dhadkan bhi meri kyon hai ruk jati?

Apne se jyada jana hai shayad tujhe,
Har pal hai intzar tera.
Fir jab aati hai samne tu mere,
Yeh jhijhak kyon kahin se aa jati?

Kitna kuch hai kehna baki,
Aur waqt bahut kam.
Fir jab hoti hai samne tu mere,
Juban aur aankhien kyon paththar hai ban jati?

Sochta hoon main har pal tujhe,
Aaine me dikhta hai chehra tera.
Fir jab hoti hai jab baat tujhse,
Kyon teri pahchan mujhse anjaan hai ban jati?

Sabse khubsurat pal hain zindagi ke,
Jo pal sath gujre hai tere.
Fir bhi chah kar bhi,
Zindagi puri kyon khubsurat ban nahi jati?

Bas aisi hai woh... बस ऐसी है वो

सबके जैसी ... पर सबसे अलग

एक ख्वाब... एक हकीक़त
एक जिस्म्... एक साया
बस अपने ही जैसी है वो...

बारिश के इन्द्रधनुष को
सपने के पंख लगा दो
तो बस वैसी है वो...

सुबह की पहली किरण को
घुंघरू पहना दो
तो बस वैसी है वो...

चांदनी रात में पूरे चाँद को
एक मोती लगा दो
तो बस वैसी है वो...

रोते हुए किसी बच्चे को
फिर से हंसा दो
तो बस वैसी है वो...

अपनी बरसों की कल्पना को
हकीक़त बना दो
तो बस वैसी है वो...

बारिश के बहते पानी में
कागज़ की नाव चला दो
तो बस वैसी है वो...

हरी दूब के पत्ते से
ओस की बूँद चुरा लो
तो बस वैसी है वो...

कैसे कह दूं
कैसी है वो?
बस अपने ही जैसी है वो...

Tab aur ab...

बचपन के वो दिन भुलाऊँ कैसे?

हर एक बात बार बहा देते थे आंसू की नदी,
आज भर आये मन तो चुप हो जाऊं कैसे?

हर एक राह बुलाती कहती थी घर लौट जाने को,
आज जब मैं राह भूलूँ तो घर जाऊं कैसे?

दिन में कई बार रूठ्ते और मनाते...
अब कोई रुठ्ता भी नहीं तो किसी को मनाऊं कैसे?

How do i say that....

I can say "i love you",
Thousand times.
But how do i say,
How much...

I can say i miss you,
Today and every single day.
But how do i say,
I am missing you inside me...

I can say i lived moments,
Those we were together.
But how i do say,
I was never alive alone...

I can say i want nothing,
But a smile every day for you.
But how do i say,
I wish to be part of every smile.

Bas yuhin..

Yaad ka kya hai..
Bewafa hai
Unke sath bhi aati hai
Aati hai unke baad bhi...

Unke sath ye yaad aata hai
Ki unke bina kaise the..
Unke bina ye yaad aata hai
Ki unke sath kaise the....

Ek yaad hai...
Jo har waqt aa jati hai
Ek saans hai...
Jo har waqt ruk jati hai

Ek neend hai...
Jo berukhi ho chuki hai
Ek khwab ki duniya hai...
Jo unki ho chuki hai

Bas ek zindagi hai sath mere
Jo chali jati hai
Kisi tamanna me mere sath
Chup-chap jiye jati hai...

Koshish...

Koshish to maine bahut ki,
Har shah se najar churane ki.
Par kab tak sham ko gungunata main?
Is raat ko to aana hi tha.

Tumhe bhulane ki har koshish ke sath,
Mera dum ghutataa chala gaya.
Meri har ek saans ke sath,
Tumhari yaad ko to aana hi tha.

Chehre ke maile ki raunak me,
Shayad bahal jata ye dil.
Par un ajnabi mukharaton ke jarokhein me,
Tumhari surat ko to aana hi tha.

Khuli aankhon se duniya thi rangili,
Har rang tha tumhari yadon ke siwa.
Par palak jhapkne ke antraal me,
Tumhe jehan me to aana hi tha.

Har aur bikhar se jate the tum,
Kabhi khushbu kabhi mere khwab ki tarah.
Kab tak suraj ko hatheli se chupata main?
Uski roshni me to tumhe muskarana hi tha.

Muskarate hue har pal khud se ajnabi ki tarah,
Tumhari yaad ko chupata chala gaya.
Kab tak tumhe apne bhitar samata main?
Meri kavita me to tumhe bahar aana hi tha.
