Hum bikhar rahe the unke liye..
Wo hum me yun samay se the..
Wo taaron se ghire hue the…
Hum unki chandni sajaye se the..
Wo chaand bankar bhi ye na samjhe..
Raat ban.. hum unki roshni se khudko har lamha jalaye se the..
Jo dekh rhe the taaron ko..
Un taaron ko kaaton sa sajaye se the…

कितना अजीब है ना..
कभी कभी रात भी नई सुबह की आस कर बैठती है..
पर भुल जाती है..
सुबह की हर एक किरण के साथ.. वो तो मिट जाएगी..
जैसा कभी वो थी ही नहीं...
पर फिर भी वो इसी आस में लौट आएगी..
कि कल नई किरण उसे फिर से मिटाएगी...
शायद वो अपने अँधेरे से डरने लगी है...
इसलिए दिन में वो घुलने लगी है...
पर रात है ना..
फिर लौट आएगी..
इसी आस में, एक दिन, वो भी जगमगाएगी...

बस दो पल और ठहर जाओ ना...
इतने भी बुरे नहीं हम..
थोड़ा सा मुस्कुराओ ना..
मानते हैं कभी कभी गुस्से में बोल देते हैं...
पर फिर जी भरकर प्यार करके मनाते भी तो हम ही हैं ना...

Ye baarish kitni khoobsurat hai..
Gale lagakar kuch is tarah..
Kabhi Hansa jati hai… ye boonde kabhi rula jati hai…
Kuch toh sukoon hai inme..
Jo barasti to sab per hai..
Fir bhi sirf apni si lagti hai…
Bachpana bhi hai isme..
Aur jawani bhi..
Ye saathi bhi hai..
Aur kahani bhi…
Ye baarish kitni khoobsurat hai….
Hai na…

-

Kitni ajeeb hoti hai na ye yaadein…
Jab jhagde ki ho to hansa jati hai..
Aur pyaar ki ho to rula jati hai….

Haan main aisi hi hu…
Band darwaze se dil ko..
Har baar andheron se ghire rehne ka darr sehti bhi hu..
Aur ek katra roshini ki chah me har pal rehti bhi hu..
Haan mai aisi hi hu..
Kaanch ki tarah bikharne se darti bhi hu..
Fir bhi usi kaanch ko ayena bana fir nayi aas me rehti bhi hu..
Haan mai aisi hi hu..
Chot lagne per aansuon ki nadiyan bahaati si hu..
Per marham koi ban jaye, to muskura jaati bhi hu..
Haan mai aisi hi hu..
Na gila hai kisise na shikwa koi..
Jhuth ki duniya me na mila sacha koi..
Fir bhi..
Mai aisi hi hu..
Ek siyahi umeed ki dhundhti bhi hu..
Aur fir ek naya panna zindagi ka likhti bhi hu..
Mai aisi hi hu…
Mai aisi hi hu..

Its raining pain..
And I am drowned..
Bleeding cuts..
And I am that wound…
The river is sinking..
It is bound..
To this collapsing world..
I am that final shroud…
The last air..
For this unending crowd..
The heart is suffocated..
With all these shrieking sound..
With every ticking needles
Of that perfect timely round..
Its now ending..
Collapsing..
Shredding…
Drowning..
Burning..
Turning into a giant endless black hole..
And yet somehow its beginning to get whole..

Ye khamoshiyan bhi ab chillane lagi..
Jo raaz hai.. wo batane lagi..
Haan deewaron ke kaan hote hein..
Suna tha..
Per ye deewarein bhi kyu aj batiyane lagi..
Kuch parda tha..
Kuch khule gagan jaisa..
Kuch tum sa tha..
Kuch mere mann jaisa..
Aj tum tumse nahi..
Aj hum humse nahi..
Per fir bhi muskurahatein..
Bin baadal ke bhi chhane lagi…

Ek saath ki talaash me..
Yun waqt guzaar sa diya..
Aj andhero me ghirkar hi sahi..
Ek saye ko humne paa sa lia..
Haan thoda rutha sa hai..
Dil shayad uska tuta sa hai..
Per zara pyaar se baat kya ki..
Wo saya bhi muskura hi diya!!
Fir kya,
Haath thaam kar uska..
Aj gale se bhi laga hi liya..
Arey, gaur se dekha toh..
Ye saya bhi mera hi tha..
Ab tak anjaan thi jaise khudse..
Ye kissa bhi mera hi tha..
Bas isliye…
Khudko gale lagakar,
Aj khudko apna saathi bana hi lia!

Sitting under the crimson sky..
Watching the world passing by…
Even with all the clamour around..
Somehow.. there was this piece of peace I found…
I was always the part of meaningless crowd..
But thank you..this tumult stopped which was unbearably loud!
Those silly things.. you made me do..
For once.. I had those wings.. and I just flew..
Into the sky.. not scared to fall..
‘Coz the wings weren’t made of feather..
It were my dreams and imaginations sprawled..
Thank you for being the piece of peace in me..
And being the FRIEND.. i’ll always need!!!
