Ek nind thi, ek khwab tha
Kuch pal sahi, tu sath tha
Hathon me tera hath tha
Kya khwabeeda ehsaas tha

Lehza tera kuch tha nya
Ye harf pehle na suna
Muskaan tere hothon pe thi
Par Mukhtalif andaaz tha

Iztiraar si jo dil me thi
Kar loon yakeen, ya na abhi
Maujood tha ya gumshuda
Tu tha wahi, aur intezaar tha

Tu tha wahi aur intezaar tha.....

There's a li'l pain inside
her glittery eyes
and a few
unspoken words
hidden in those
widest smiles
that we often
don't see
or listen to.

-

And,
in the end,
it will all turn out to be
a great story.

Mai dhoop sa roshan to tha
Par khud me hi jalta rha
Teri chhaon se tha bekhabar
Anjaan mai nadan tha
Mera har safar tanha raha
Tere bin khuda mai kya bhala
Tujhe dhundta hoon dar badar
Hoon besabar ab aa bhi jaa

-

Abki baar jo ana
zara der se jana
Kuch pal tum aur
meri baahon me bitana
Kuch kisse sunana
kuch shartein manwana
Bas kuch pal aur
mere kareeb reh jana
Ye silsila ho sake to
rozana dohrana
Aur yun hi kisi din
tum mere ho jana

-

My biggest insecurity is to be verily known by the people who thought they 'know me'.

-

Yun jo kareeb aa kar
tum har baar chale jate ho
Yun jo halka sa muskaa kar
maun ho jate ho
Yun jo nigahon me meri
Ektak dekh jate ho
Aur palak jhapakte hi
aankhen churate ho
Mere bolon ko dil par
kyun itna lagate ho
'Kuch kehna hai' keh kar
bas has ke reh jate ho
Naa apna banate ho
Naa mere ho jate ho
Tum kyu is qadar
humein itna satate ho ?

-

It leaves a deep regret
in my heart to even think
of those innumerable things
that are never going
to be the same again.
At times this feeling breaks me
but somewhere deep within
also gives me a hope
of getting better things ahead.
It helps me accept that
it's ok to forget
& be forgotten
sometimes.

Tere noor se roshan
mera jahan ho gaya hai
Tu fitoor tha mera
ab rehnuma ho gaya hai
Hairan hu tere bagair
kaise ji liya mai ab tk
Har saans me tu
meri rooh
ba-khuda ho gaya hai

-

तुझसे बिछड़ कर भी खुद को
तेरे करीब पाता हूँ
खींची लकीरों को अपनी
तक़दीर बताता हूँ
ना मैं तुझ सा
ना तू मुझ सी है , मगर
क्यों तेरे बिन मैं खुद को
अधूरा सा पाता हूँ ?
इस कदर तू जाने मुझे एक पल ,
जैसे सदियां संग बिताई हों
फिर क्यों अगले ही पल
अजनबी सा हो जाता हूँ ?
