Voh purane khud ko mai shayad phirse mil rhi hun...
Raaste mei thi voh ya mai hi uske paas ja rhi hun?
Sab kuch jaise dekha-dekha sa lag rha hai,
Kuch baatein shayad Mai doobara kar rhi hun,
Kuch ajeeb se silsile hai yeh, jinhein mai baar-baar jee rahi hoon,
Mai khud ko kho ke, khud se hi mil rhi hun...
Khud se bhaag ke, doobara khud ko hi dhoondh rhi hun...

Over the years,
There is a feeling that I am getting closer to where I want to be,
Yet with a closer look I find myself stuck in those same insecurities that my old self was hung with,
Didn't I learn from my mistakes ?
Or didn't I count them as mistakes at all?
I wonder sometimes,

-

Its been a while now,
Sometimes I wonder what if you never happened,
More like a storm or an accident,
We never crossed paths,
Would the things be same as I find them to be,
Or would they be any good or worse,
I wonder sometimes.
I find myself not thinking about you lately, but thinking about the person I have become through you,
I find myself engrossed in the thoughts of how stupid my fears have grown,
I find myself engrossed in the thoughts of how hard I have built my shell around,
What if you never happened,
Would I be the same as I find myself to be,
Or would it be any good or worse?
I wonder sometimes.

Let's not stress out for the things that could not be...
Few incomplete dreams have the spark to keep life going.

Ek arsa sa hogya aapse baatein kare...
Phir bhi aam hai kya dhadkane tez ho jana, dekh kar aapko ?
Tasveere bhi aapki, kuch kehti hai jaise mujhe,
Ek nasha sa ho jata hai unn aankhon ko dekh kar...
Ab fizul sari baatein karke pata nahi main kyun nahi thakti,
Ek dil hai, kuch khwab bhi,
Par tmhare bina sab kuch, kuch bhi toh nahi...

-

Tumhare baahon mei pighal kar,
Tumhare dil ki dharkan sunne ki khwaish hoti hai...
Kabhi kabhi bus yun hi khamoshi se tumse baatein karne ki khwaish hoti hai...
Kuch kehna bhi nai hai, kuch sunna bhi mat tum,
Bus yun hi raat ko aakhon hi aankhon mei katnein ki khwaish hoti hai...

When the nights be dark
And the winds turn cold,
She sits engrossed in self doubt,
She looked up to see her reflected self in the mirror nearby,
A defeated and worthless person staring into darkness.
Did the future had anything for her at all ?
Would the phoenix ever come to heal her wounds ?
She stared infinitely into the darkness.

Some people are like those old clothes, faded, a little torn maybe but the most comfortable,
You kind of get your smell from those clothes, those clothes give you a feeling of something yours,
No matter how many new, branded clothes you get, they mostly stay locked up in the cupboard,
But nothing ever replaces those, that feel like 'you'...

Me after reciting 25 ka table to my 8y/o brother...

-

I chanced upon those songs tonight...
Thinking how I used to weep to those tunes...
Thinking how I used to find you in each single rhythm...
Thinking how I used to imagine us in each of the verse...
And I wonder how the tears rolled down my cheeks...
And I just realized that I could still find you in those beats..!
