Raat akeli raah takhti si,
Nazre churati izhar karti hai,
Jawaab maangti hai apne sawaalo ka,
Chupke se kehti hai ki pyaar karti hai.

Chehre pe pehne khamoshi ka chasma,

Shaant se baithe gum sum se,

Mann ki baatein mann me rakhna,

Kudhta hriday jo jee machle.

Spend my days thinking, spend your days dazed,
In this dance of minds, the heart ablazed,
Through the labyrinth of questions, we keep on strolling,
Yet in our quest for truth, our hearts are unknowing.

Spent our time deducing, seeking answers with care,
In the depths of knowledge, we're a daring pair,
But as the days pass, we're caught in a snare,
For we've neglected the moments we used to share.

In the pursuit of facts and the mysteries unveiled,
We've let slip away the love that once sailed,
Through the seas of laughter, where joy never paled,
Now we're left with regrets, as our story is curtailed.

So let's bridge the gap that knowledge has bared,
Rekindle the bonds that we've almost declared,
In the warmth of connection, we'll find what we've spared,
And treasure the moments that can't be repaired.

Shikayat

Kehte hai vo ki tum baat nahi karte,
Shaame beet jaati hai tum kabhi yaad nahi karte,
Shikayat kabhi khatm hoti nahi unki,
Hum bhi kabhi sudharne ki chahat nahi karte,

Baatein jo hoti thi hamari ab vo hoti nahi,
Shikayat aaj bhi hai unko humse, vo kehti nahi
Sudharna aaj shayad chahte ho hum,
Par ye duri humse sehen hoti nahi,
Baat ab hokar bhi, kabhi hoti nahi.

-

Ki mann bhare chale hai,
Baithe gum-sum se,
Siskiya lete dekhte,
Zindagi ko jaate hue.

-

"Uljhan"
Uljhan ki hai baat karte,
Ek uljhan me phas gaye,
Suljhe hue the hum kabhi,
Suljhte hue ulajh gaye,

Na suljhi vo dor meri,
Jo ulajh-ulajh kar tuti,
Bhed khol jo haath laga,
Vo dhaage se ruthi,
Kasti-thugti uljhan meri khulne ko na taiyar,

Kasti-thugti uljhan meri Jo khulne ko na ho taiyaar,
Zor laga Jo suljhan ka,
Dhaaga ho gaya taar,
Dhaaga ho gaya taar,

Na suljhi vo uljhan meri,
Na bachi reh gayi dor,
Tut gayi Jo zor laga,
Vo uljhan ban gayi chot.

-

Ye zindagi ab humse sambhalti nahi,
Ki ye waqt ab humse kat ta nahi hai,

Ek madbhed si chiri hai khayalon me hamare,
Ki ye waqt kab sambhlega ,
Aur zindagi kab kategi hamari.

Death
What is death?
Does it mean, to cease breathing?
Or when your heart stops?
Or when your brain is rendered functionless?
Or is it when your mind shatters, pushing you into a state of hopelessness?

Does anyone know, what it is to die?
Surely, we claim to have been reborn after an extreme experience;
But do we really know what being reborn means.
Have we experienced that much pain yet?

We say that we were on the crossroad of life?
To have stared, cold death in the eyes,
To have been in the warm light of embrace,
Seems like bigotry,
To have seen death means you're alive,
And to have been embraced, you were dead.

It is a loop of emotions for some, a sad one,
Some say they feel satiated,
Some struggle to grasp the last of their wishes,
Some simply stay pale and wait for it to consume them,
Is death a darkness that is inside us,
Is it something that we acquire,
Is it innate or is it instilled,
An illusion perhaps to wear our thoughts,
Or a veil that rots us slowly.

So, I ask you once again.
What is death?

-

And as I cried a river,
Weeping all my troubles away,
Each tear took a piece of me,
Alas, all that's left is a hollow.

On the verge of death,
At the door of life.

With tears flowing from my eyes,
Wishing to weep again,
To be myself once again,
I cried so loud, only to forgo it,
As death took a hold of me,
Finally, I became myself.

-

"Anguish"
The years washed away in tears,
Love lost and forgotten,
The joys killed; it was a massacre of memories,
A dagger through my heart; never thought it would be our reckoning,
It's as if all this was never meant to be,
But a mistake,

Cries of sorrow and howling woes,
Shrieks of pain and drowning gloom,
Shards of glass in my throat,
Voice so coarse,
Death upon our love,
Our chapter is closed.
