यूँ तो जीतती गई हर बाजी मै
ज़िन्दगी के इस सफर में
लेकिन किसी जश्नबाजी को
फुर्सत न मिली
पर जब से मिला है साथ तुम्हारा
ज़िन्दगी के इस सफर में
गमों से गमगीन हो राह-ए-सफर
उस राह से जाती कोई मंजिल न मिली।

तुम्हारे जाने के बाद भी
तुम आते जाते रहे हो
मेरी नज़्मों में...
सागर की लहरों की तरह

कहानियों में मिलते रहे हो
हंसी में घुलते रहे हो
आंसुओं में बिखरते रहे हो
और उठते रहे टीस की तरह
.......हर दिन हर क्षण...
तुम्हारे जाने के बाद ....— % &

I can't say how much but I can say from when,
When you ask me if I love you,
I amuse myself as if is it even a question to ask ?Ehh,
my heartbeat gets all jiffy, my eyes roll all shimmy,
the sun is above me yet it feels as if it's all dreamy,
This is the effect you have on me,so..

I make up conversation in my head with you, just to tease you later with them,
And as mostly, you end up responding to the way I thought of, Ahaaa &
I feel my mission is successful !

I would definitely say my universe is you, but then how can I restrict the analogy to such a small part when I know in all the universe, galaxies, fictions, parallel worlds, you're mine and I'm yours..

I often feel to keep you just hidden within me and just keep you with me but then I don't want to be a criminal to take away from nature, the beauty and aura which it derives through you.

I feel as if the butterflies in stomach have always been there, it was just waiting with patience as cocoon to erupt and fly in this cosmic scenery only with you.

So I can say yes, it's not new,
expressing words are only few,
years, decades, millenniums ? naah,
When my soul was born, it was to love you..
Love you then, now and forever..
