And there he was asking her yet again to go away from his life

And there she was with a smile on her face and tears in her heart moving away from his life.

Because she had said that she will always abide.

इशक भी तुमसे किया था
नफ़रत भी तुमही से निभाते हैं
लिख गया जो लकीरो पे नाम
चाह कर भी ना मिटा पाते हैं
हर बार सोचते है नहीं सोचेगै तुम्हारे बारे मे
फिर भी ये ख्याल डगमगा जाते है
नहीं करते अब तुम्हारा जिक्र किसी से
बस यही पे कुछ अरमान शब्दों में बदल जाते है

The city is lit
With the shadows of hope
Hope that is still alive
Hope of normalcy resuming it's stance
Hope that this fear will be buried
And people will start trusting each other again
Hope that the Hunger may be satiated soon enough
Hope that the neighbours will again start being nosy with each other
Hope that the children becoming pale will once again be running in the broad daylight
Hope that the ladies will once again be haggling with vendors and laughing with their full might
Once again the roads will be jammed with the traffic plight
And the hope of filling the walkways with couples strolling in delight
The hope of lighting the maximum city in its full glory
Once again the city will feature for it's liveliness in all the stories

थोड़ा सा इंतज़ार और
ये कोहरा भी छट जाएगा
सड़को पे गूंजेगी फिर से वाहनों कीआवाजे
ये आगन भी बच्चों की किलकारियो से भर जाएगा
लेकिन तब भी याद रखना ये सबक
जो हमने चारदिवारी में कैद होके सीखा है
जीवन में ठहर भी जरूरी है
कुदरत को भी फुरसत देना जरूरी है
समय इतना बलवान है कि हमें थाम सकता है
मनुष्य को पिंजरे में कैद कर प्रकति को स्वतंत्र कर सकता हैं

Kitna dard dega Kitne jakhm dega tu
Bhar gaya hain mera dil Kitne var Uspe Aur karega tu
Yaad hain Mujhe ki tune bola tha ki Har din todega Mujhe
Bas yahi Ek vada nibhaya Baki Sab bhool chuka hain tu
Toot chuki hoon main Jada Kuch bacha Nahi hai
Sath to na de paya Mera kab Mujhe Satana band karega tu

अगर मैं भूल भी जाऊँ
तो भी मुझे कहा राहत आएगी
तू तो रग रग मे समाया हैं
तेरी महक तो मेरी जान के साथ ही जाएगी

The night enters my room like
It wants to engulf me in its arms
Lulling me into a peaceful sleep
A sleep filled with rest and good dreams
And though I am physically tired
My mind refuses to bow down

The toss and turns keeps me up all the night
And there I am lying down looking at the night turning into a dawn and waiting for the dawn to turn into another night where I can finally drift off to sleep.

-

Maybe I should wait
Till the time you become a shadow of the past
And the tainted memories no longer lurk around the corner
I am free again to dream of good things
And all the hope against the hopes are vanished
Maybe I should wait
Till the time all the connections of the past are broken and dissolve.

-

When you walk with me
I can face any sorrow life throws my way
When you stand beside me
I feel tall in front of all my troubles and never sway
Even when you stay behind me
I know I will always have your unflinching support
And now when you are nowhere to be seen
I am still finding the courage to move alone and be always alone.

-

Deep in the Magic woods
Where only dreams float
Nightmares are denied entrance
And the past is merely an anecdote
Where I can choose the memories I want to remember
And choose the moments I want to freeze
Where only solitude gives me a company
A blissful company that appease
Where I can finally stop running and stay
Where I can find the peace which has long gone astray
