ठप्प है किताबों का धंधा आज - कल,
तुझे किसी ने लिखा नहीं क्या अब तक?

-

तोहफ़े में सुनो, कुछ ख़ास लेते आना,
वक़्त पे आना, थोड़ा वक़्त लेते आना |

-

You, me, us.

-

We have come a long way, from you are mine to I am yours.

-

रंजिश नहीं,
क़ाफ़िराना है,
है मेरा नहीं, पर
ख़ुदा है तू|

-

वादा करवा कर ख़ुद ही यूं
तोड़ने को कहते हो,
कसम शराब छोड़ने की दे कर
' नशीली ' नज़रें मिलाते हो|

-

The moon dived into the cold dark sky,
and you kept blaming the clouds.

To the Bravest heart of the period,

You are grieving, you are probably sitting in the corner of a room as you watch your loved ones break into tears every now and then. You feel helpless for not being able to do anything about it. You hold back your tears, cry in silence, come back, only to hear them crying louder.
Though I can not possibly do anything in the world to soothe you out of this grief, I assure you that it WILL get better, YOU will get better, and stronger.
And as much as you believe someone left on a journey to a better universe with a piece of your heart, believe, that you are living here with a piece of THEIR heart too, their blessings and their love. So, cry, grieve, mourn, and come out stronger.
You'll have me by your side for the rest.

A friend.

He says I'm still a home to him.
The one he lived most of his childhood in, the one which gave the most precious of memories, the one you tell stories about to your grandchildren, the one he'd love to come back to, the one you leave behind as it becomes tiresome to mend its walls or shattering windows, the one you leave for a better home.

-

Don't look for a home
untill it bleeds,
You'll be in this heart,
up till it beats.
