We talk of life and what comes next,
But no one knows, we just reflect.
We build beliefs to hide our fear,
Yet still the end is never clear.
We laugh and cry, we love, we lose,
But never ask who let us choose.
Are we just sparks in endless night,
Or something more than dust and light?
We chase the stars, we name the skies,
Yet truth still hides behind our eyes.
The soul we seek, the voice inside,
Could just be echoes we confide.
We live in questions, not in facts,
Our minds a maze with hidden tracks.
What lies beyond, no one can say,
We walk in shadows, find our way.
So maybe life is not to find,
But feel, and fall, and free the mind.
To stand in awe, and not pretend,
And wonder still, right to the end.-

So many people still judged by their race,
Discriminated because of their native place.
This poison has caused mental strain and damages,
Questioned the black skins respect through ages.
'Hey! Jigaboo' those offensive words do recall,
Is there no such a thing as a 'colour for all'?

Sleep awaits in the warm blanket,
While the nightingale grieves and the dogs bark.
My insomnia keeps me in a prison,
While I lose patience in the dark.
It's 3 a.m. and soon the sun would shine,
I would lie awake with my under-eyes mark.
Night intrudes and the day empathise my pain,
While the passenger for work would embark.-
This life doesn't seem less than a nightmare,
When people treat us with cold whispers and burning stares.
They bury our love in their established norms,
Leaving us naked in the ferocious storm.
Sinful, disgraceful, unacceptable is what they call,
Killing our dreams & hope while putting us in thrall.-
When I first met you,
The hopes I had were very few.
Thought I would never love somebody again,
After the enormous painful rains.
My heart asked me to beware of the dark,
I was dying in grin but then I saw your spark.
Knowing you was like knowing myself,
Felt the tortoise in me coming out of the shell.
In your presence, I started finding peace,
Now when I look at you, my eyes freeze.
You are my calm after the wild storm,
Everyday you improvise to keep me warm.
I am the best of myself when you are around,
I fall in love everyday with your smell and sound.
I've blinked back my tears of the past,
Knowing that what we are about to share,
will forever last.-
It's too difficult to hold someone by the rope,
The pain of losing someone is hard to cope,
So they always live in our garden of hope.-
People go! But how they left always stay,
The power of love is nothing in front of betray.
It is the only truth that sticks,
One day your expectations will make you sick.
Forgive yourself for the blindness,
For the hope you had, to clean the mess.
Practice now!
The art of washing the guilt away.
Darling! It's time to sing and sway.

The things that open and move you beyond the depth of your bones,
Might lay a fresh wound in your heart and leave you alone.
Remain with it until it opens up and let your parched soul whine.
Remember! In the darkest of nights, the moon always shines.
The shackles of heartache and strife, exhaustion and drain,
Must contract to expand again as it's all in your brain.
Believe in yourself and be courageous to leave your maps behind.
Poisons, burdens and rains should pass and laughter be revived.
Let your pillow to rest and say disappointments a goodbye.
The vision may be blurred but darling, you still can fly.

Fir chal diye tum aakhiri alvida bolke,
Kuch bhaari to kuch halke dard taulke.
Fir ek vaada kia ha ki mud ke nhi dekhoge,
Na yaad hogi na aansu, jab tanha tum letoge.-
Raaste khoobsurat the unke sath,
Isliye humne manzil ki baat nhi ki.
Ek pal ke liye hi bass choda tha unka hath,
Unhone to fir hamari talaash hi nhi ki.-
