Why


Her name is all I speak
Her face is all I see
Her voice echoes in my ears
Her touch is all I feel
The air I breathe has only her fragrance

Why have I stopped eating?
Why have I stopped sleeping?
Why my visions have blurred?
Why have I stopped feeling?
Why is it happening?

My mind only thinks about her
My sanity is breaking down for her
Why I still want to be with her
When I know, that now it’s over
Why my heart still beats for her

झूठी ख़ुशी


कभी  ज़िन्दगी  में  ऐसे  मोड़  आते  है 
सारी  दिशायों  को  सुनसान  हम  पाते  है 
सितारे  अपने  गर्दिश  में  नज़र  आते  है 
और  अपने  हर  निर्णय  पे  हम  सिर्फ  निराशा  ही  पाते   है 

दर्द  की  अब  पहचान  खत्म  होने  लगी  है 
चाहतें  अपनी  जो  हर  बार  ही  दम  तोड़ने  लगी  है 
अपनी  किस्मत  को  अब  और  क्या  कोसे 
जब  मिले  हैं  ज़िन्दगी  से  हर  कदम  पे  धोके 

आँखों  में  आंसू  लिए  तन्हा  अब  रहते  है 
इस  दर्द  को   बेखबर  होके  हम  सहते  है 
अब  दुःख  से  सम्बंध  कुछ  ऐसा  जोड़  बैठे  है 
झूठी  ख़ुशी  के  लिए  अपनी  हार  को  ही  जीत  समझ  बैठे  है

Trying Hard


The loneliness inside of me
Feeding on all my senses
But whenever you’re around
My shape doesn’t seem to be sound
Your presence makes me feel more drowned

The love inside of me
May be just an illusion to you
Never knew how to show
Gone with mundane ways
Learning it the hard way

The pain inside of me
Cannot be made visible
It’s not you but no one has ever seen
Close is what you got
Still alone here I walk

The me inside of me
Still is a little confuse
Is it love or pain that’s profuse
Sometimes I think a bit
But trying hard not to quit

You’re always on my mind


When I sleep at night

Feels like I’m losing myself in your eyes

There’s only one thing that I demand

To dream of you holding my hand

To see you sleeping like a child

Just Your thought makes my heart go kind

And baby I just wanna tell you,

You’re always on my mind


When I wake up in the morning

Your beautiful face is what I see

Your whispering voice is what I hear

Your soft and tender touch is what I feel

The vivid vision makes me go blind

And Baby I just wanna tell you,

You’re always on my mind


One thing I want you to know

I think about you all the time

No matter where I am, or with whom I strife

I miss you every second in my life

Here I promise to you that I’ll always stand behind

Coz baby, the truth is

You’re always on my mind

नजाने क्यूँ


नजाने क्यूँ , यूँही किसी पल

उदास हो उठता है जब कभी यह मन

शायद किसी की याद से , या फिर किसी की कमी से

या शायद मेरी खुदी की बंजर ज़मीन से


दिल कभी ये भर आता है

आँखें मगर कुछ कह नहीं पाती

अब क्या किसी को बोल के बतायें

कैसे किसी और को समझाए

होंठ भी शायद इसलिए सिले रह जाते है

खुद अपने ही दिल की बात जब समझ नहीं पाते है


चाहत किसी की कभी कर लेते है

अपना हक समझ के मांग कुछ लेते है

दुनिया से जो भी मिलता है खुश उसी में रह लेते है

अपने दिल का हाल अब क्या हम बतायें

गम में डूबे रहते है चारो पहर बगैर आंसू बहाए

इस ज़िन्दगी से ऐसे हुए हम शर्मिंदा है

कैसे कहे के अब तो बस कहने के लिए ही जिंदा है

When I first met you


When I first met you I knew

You are the one I’ve been looking for

When you first said my name

I knew you are here to stay

Since I’ve met you girl, I realize

What I have been missing all my life

Never before did I felt like this

And now you are the one I need, forever


You have brought a wave of happiness

A whole new cloud of showering love

An ocean filled with care

Inspiring me through those gloomy days

Catching me, every time I fall


Now I know that I want you, way too badly

I want to think about you, say sweet nothings

I want to comfort you, make you happy

I want to take care of you, be your shelter

I want to spend the rest of my life with you

Not in this life but for ages to come

Rainy Day


Sitting on the porch

Under the mystic clouds

Waiting for the rain to pour

Down on me with all its might

Thinking about home, where I sat

Resting on the small window

Seeing the world through


Sitting on the porch

Watching kids playing in the mud

Plucking flowers while they still bud

Floating paper boats

Just to watch them go bloats

Hearing parents calling out

Names after every small bout


Sitting on the porch

Watching leaves sparkling with hint of sunlight

And drenched streets gleaming in the night

The dripping water over broken panes

Washing the muck off my brains

The sweet smell emanating from earth

Making me believe what I’ve lost for my girth


Sitting on the porch

When I look around

The alien wetness on the ground

Trickling drops making surreal sound

Whispering in my ears, telling me to unbound

Sitting on the porch

I ask myself, is it worth

The time here I spend in dearth
