पतझड़ सा होगा तू, लेकिन मुझे तेरी ओस पसंद है।

You may be rough or emotionally cold person, but I yearn for softness and warmth present in your heart.

Deep

-

As if you had truly known me,
you would have smiled,
the way someone does,
when they recognize a name close to their heart.
Not like a stranger passing by,
but like someone remembering a piece of their past.

As if I met you again as a stranger,
I wonder… who I was, when you knew me the deepest.

Chautharfa diware hain,
Chahe woh kaach ki ho ya kankar ki,
Is kankaal ko kya hi farq padta hai,
Jismein ab saansein bhi sirf aadat se chalti hain.
(“What difference does it make to this skeleton, Where even the breaths now move only out of habit.”)

Deep

-

Apne musafiron ki qadr nahi,
Gairon ki manzilon se bhala phir kaisa ishq?

Khuda hi jaane kya raaz chhupa baitha hai tu,
Taufaa bhi kabool karta hai, kehkar ki — ‘khair aaj to mera janamdin bhi nahi.’

Deep

-

तेरी मोहब्बत के डर से, ख़ुद से बेरुखी करलें।
वो हम नहीं।। वो हम नहीं।।

-

Once you own a thing, then it becomes anything just like you and me.
With no shear significance or enthusiasm left to celebrate it.

-

मैं तो अंधेरों में भी तेरी परछाई का दामन थाम के चलता हूं।

In the dark also, I am inclined to follow your shadow.

-

ज़लज़ला - ऐ - हुस्न उनका।
जब भी मुड़कर देखता हूँ । दिल में तबाही मचा देता हैं‌।।

-

Khoo jaati hain wo kashti beech kisi zindagi ae bawandar mein jisko koi kinara paanah nahi deta

-

Kabhi to lauto tum zindagi mein
Khwahisho kaa aashmaa leke
Mein bistar kinare teri tasveer rakh kar
Khawaboo ki baarishon mein
tujh sang bheeg jao..
Fir utho to sahrane tu hakikat ho jaye.
