सुकून तो मोहब्बत में भी नहीं है,
अकेलेपन की क्या बात करूँ,
लफ़्ज़ों में छिपे इस दर्द के बदले,
तुझे कौन सा ख्वाब सौगात करूँ ॥

-

अकेला हूँ पर किसी की आस नहीं,
कहने को तो सब हैं मगर कोई पास नहीं...
सोचता था लोग कैसे जीते होंगे तन्हाई में,
अब समझ आया, डूबना पड़ता है वक्त की गहराई में...
मुखौटों वाली शक्लों पर तो अलग ही नूर रहता है,
और जो अपना सा लगता था वो पता नहीं कहाँ दूर रहता है...
बीत गए वो दिन जब दिल से हसना होता था,
अब तो बस पत्थर दिलों के बीच फसना होता है...
इंतज़ार सा होने लगा है अब उस सच्ची मुस्कुराहट का,
किसी अपने के पैरों की आहट का...
थक कर अब तो हताश से हम हो गए हैं,
दुनिया के पता नहीं कौन से भंवर में हम खो गए हैं।

Crying! Why?
Because you miss him?
Or because you love him?
Wait! Wait! He's no more yours?
Oh! He's gone forever!
He's gone to someone else?
Do you expect him to return?
Why are you waiting for so long?
Do you think you still owe him?

-

Don't promise me forever,
Assure me your presence at the present moment...
Whatever may happen,
You are staying with me at this second.
Believe me darling, you'll make me trust in eternal love.

-

It's just a matter of time,
One day your faith on love will again go sublime.

It's just the fragility of heart,
One day you will wake up again with a new start.

It's just the flashback of memories,
One day you will fly again breaking all the boundaries.

It's just the torment of your feelings,
One day again you will be provided with healings.

It was exact an year ago...

It was something never felt by me,
It was a sensation I was never in a grip of ,
For me it was just an unexpected expectation,
Or an unusually happened usual day...

Today when I recall that day,
I remember the way he evinced his affections to me,
The flood of happiness that soaked me in it,
Those unheard utterances which made my ears hard to believe upon,
It was an unimaginable drop of love that draught of my heart craved for.

I memorize each moment of the present date exact an year ago which makes me come out of the delusion he made me believe in; forever remains unchanged. It's really strenuous for me to get contended after losing someone whom I loved boundlessly. I feel so comforted in those feelings even now when I'm lost in them. The day just astounds me that it's really been a one complete but somewhere incomplete year!

-

Press my wounds deep against your chest,
For their only cure is your heart beating my name.

-

I may walk up to hell
to find your love and my heaven,
But what if you repudiate me...
And I get ensnared by a demon!

-

Weeping for you is not my hobby,
However tears too love falling for you!

-

Love residuals usually burn,
forming ashes of pain.
Nevertheless, completely burning in it
heart never accepts it's gone insane.
