Not just bricks and cement make a home,
Though walls and roofs may keep us warm,
Sometimes, as life has taught me well,
It's found in hearts, where feelings dwell.
Sometimes, home is just a single face.
A smile, a hand, a loving space.

Suddenly, all the happiness came to halt.
Was it my fault?
I had the same hope in my eyes,
But still I was not noticed.
Was it my age to see the truth?
Everything was on that one hook.
My legs were too tiny to take those steps,
But I was alone on that stairs left.
Everything seemed too fast,
Even the last meet didn't last.
Memories of that past frustrates me with its every cast.

Pyaar ka tohfa aaya hai.
Kuch bechainiya, to kuch shikayate laya hai.
Jinke naam se hi badh jati thi dil ki dhadkane,
unki yaad laya hai.
Pyaar ka tohfa aaya hai.
Sukhe gulab jo band the kitabon mein,
Unki mehek laya hai.
Pyaar ka tohfa aaya hai.
Tohfe mein kya laya hai?
Vo mulakat jo kabhi khatam na ho!
Arey dekho to,
kahi unki yaadon mein,
mera khayal bhi aaya hai?
Pyaar ka tohfa aaya hai.

In aankhon ko dekha kayi baar hai, pr aaj dil kar raha hai inhe pdhu.
Doobti hui shaam kayi baar dekhi hai, pr aaj dil kar raha hai teri in aakhon m doobu.
Chehre m tere khudko dhundu.
Baarish ke mausam m kayi baar fisla hu, pr aaj dil kr raha hai tere iss muskurate hue chehre ko dekh fislu.
Mana ek kami si hai, zindagi kuch thami si hai.
Bahut dur tak jaate hai yaadon k kafile,
Phir kyu na teri yaadon m subah se shaam rahoon?
Aaj dil kr raha hai tujh se kuch sikhu,
Haan maan liya shayar hu, phir bhi aaj tu bata m likhu.

Dobara milo to, jaane ki baat na krna,
Baitho zara, yu bewajah inkaar na krna.
Tujhe dekhte - dekhte ye wakt kaha nikal jata hai,
Dil ki baat lafzon mein kaise kahu ye samjh hi nahi aata hai.
Ay wakt zara thehar ja, phir ye pal mere naseeb mein kaha?
Yakeen na ho to,
In aankhon mein padho mere dil ka raaz kya hai,
Tere siva mere pass kya hai?
Sath tere sab kuch acha lagta tha,
Purani yaadon mein, tere sath mujhko mai acha lagta tha.

Saalo baad mile wo, na jane kyu muskura kar rone lage.
Aaj bhi ek dusre se khafa hai,kaunsi pehli dafa hai.
Achi yaadein bhula kar, buri dil mein liye ghum rahe hai.
Ye dastoor hai zamane ka,ye toh bas apna kirdaar nibha rahe hai.

Kya seerat thi, kya surat thi...
Maa tu sabse khubsurat thi!
Dur hokar bhi tu pass hai...
Teri muskurati hui tasveer mere liye sabse khaas hai!

-

Yu toh vo kareeb aaye the pal do pal ke liye...
Na jaane yaadon ke sahare chhod gaye kitne waqt ke liye...
Jaane kahan hai ab iss dil ka chain?
Bechani seh raah nihare nain...
Aaj bhi unka intezaar hai...
Na jaane kyon unke bina bhi unse beinteha pyaar hai?— % &

Har pal jo aaye vo khayal ho tum.
Dil ke itne pass hokar bhi kyu khafa ho tum?
Intezar se bhari raat mein.
Mera chamakta hua chand ho tum.
Paya hai jo maine, vo jeet ho tum.
Likha hai jo maine apne liye vo sabse pyari geet ho tum.

Not in my arms ...
But still in my heart ...
