इस रात का कोई सवेरा नहीं


ये जो घना अँधेरा है
वो ढलता क्यों नहीं
जिसको ज़्यादा चाहो
वो ही मिलता क्यों नहीं

ज़िन्दगी तेज़ रफ़्तार से चल कर
फिर आज राहें हैं थमी
मुस्कुराहटो के समंदर भर कर
लो आ गयी आँख में फिर वो नमी

वही मौसम, वो लम्हा है
क्या तेरी कमी तो नही
नहीं- नहीं अब हमें
तेरी जुस्तजू भी नही

बस अब बहुत हुआ
इस मर्ज़ का कोई इलाज ही नहीं
सपनो भरी ज़िन्दगी जी कर
आज, एक बार फिर, मैं वहीँ की वहीँ

If you lost her- you deserved it!


First love is a learning
And so you risk too less.
But taking things for granted
Always leaves a big mess.

When your world revolves around it
And nothing else you adore.
There is so much as you can give
And have nothing left no more.

Easy come easy go,
And you don't value what you get,
You may forgive for a lifetime
But there are things you won't forget.

There are reasons on your mind
And you think it's okay, you know!
But soon all realize
You reap what you sow.

Now do what you want
And be what you want to be.
Embrace all your coolness
Cause now you are free.

But remember,

There will be a time
When folks will have their ones
And if you are lucky, you'll realize
What you had done!

So, when noblest of things backfire
Even when you put your heart and soul in it.
Let go.. cause if there was no fear of losing
It probably was not worth it!

May you get what you are really looking for. God bless!

You shouldn't have!

You
made me smile when
I was down,
Brought me food when
I was hungry,
... you shouldn't have!

You
hugged me when
I was angry,
Kissed me when
I was sad,
... you shouldn't have!

You
danced with me when
I was happy,
Talked when
I was mad,
... you shouldn't have!

You
walked with me when
I was tired,
Altered me when
I was bad,
... you shouldn't have!

You
touched me when
I was lonely,
And then you said ...
... you loved me,
... you shouldn't have!

He's a Rockstar!!

Long, soft and curly locks
Bright Ts, torn jeans and converse
You can spot him from afar
He's a rockstar!


They trip on his tunes and never tire
As at the console he's always on fire
Doesn't booze but hangs out at the bar
He's a rockstar!


Head bangs on Dubstep and Psy-Rock
At 24*7, after every party he would stop
Mostly rolls in a silver car
He's a rockstar!


Choosy about what he eats
And dances on a double beat
So much wants to learn the guitar
He's a rockstar!


Mention Morrison or Shpogle and he flips
Sometimes on his own tunes does he trips
Believes in raw-sex, love, peace and no war
He's a rockstar!


Complete wild in appearance at the start
But truly genuine at his heart
Would pick up the girl whose hair has a flower
He's a ROCKSTAR!!

The beginning to another end!

Decades that flew by are now three
With all the flaws in me
"Living in the moment" got some change
Broadening the horizon's range
Adding on vice by vice
Now and then paying the price
Thirteen periods non-haven
Earning the bread now since seven
Some entered and left
For others I am in-debt
Few disappointments, rest all good
Guess I did all that I could
The beginning to another end is here
Time to move up a gear!!

आखिर क्यों?

एक दलदल सा है
जितना खींचती हू बाहर,
और धास्ती जाती हू |
काफी हैं लोग नज़र में
फिर भी दिल को तन्हा ही पाती हू |
फिर वर्षा हुई,
तबले की थाप के साथ,
पर मैंने तन्हा ही पाया
अपना हाथ |
तुम वहीँ ग़ुम हो
अकांक्षाओ में अपनी !
और मैं हू बस
पुरानी यादों में दफ्नी |
डर है, गुमान है, गुस्सा है,
शिकवा है, दर्द भी है,
किस से करू बयां
अपने रूह के घाव ये ?!
वो कहता है
एक कदम तो बढाओ आगे
बाक़ी सफ़र मैं तै कर दूंगा |
तकदीर फिर आमने सामने ले आई
पर तुमने फिर कर दिया
हर बार की तरह अनदेखा |

Punishment for real luv

"Love is an ideal thing, marriage a real thing; a confusion of the real with the ideal never goes unpunished."

All love stories have happy endings but mine...


न आँख में नींद, न मन में चैन
हर रात बस करवट बदलती है,
सुबह उठने की चाह कहाँ
अब मन्नतें रात ही भरती है|

माना झूठ में जीना है फ़िज़ूल
और वो तो खुद को कहा हुआ झूठ है,
पर उस झूठ से कहाँ तक बचना
जिसका ज़िक्र हर साँस करती है|

कल गया, आज आया, कल फिर कल जायेगा
कतरा-कतरा हर पल को जल्दी है,
और ऐसे ही धीरे- धीरे बर्फ, मेरी तरह
अपने ही पानी में खुद ही पिघलती है|

अब न कोई चाह, न मंजिल, न हमसफ़र की तलाश
न ही कोई खुदगर्जी है,
शायद अब मैंने ये बची-खुची ज़िन्दगी भी
उसी के नाम कर दी है!

14022012 without you...


I tried so hard, my dear to show
That you're my every dream
Yet, you're afraid each thing I do
Is just some evil scheme
A memory from your lonesome past
Keeps us so far apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
And melt your cold, cold heart

Another love before my time
Made your heart sad and blue
And so my heart is paying now
For things I didn't do
In anger unkind words are said
That make the teardrops start
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
And melt your cold, cold heart

You'll never know how much it hurts
To see you sit and cry
You know you need and want my love
Yet you're afraid to try
Why do you run and hide from life?
To try it just ain't smart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
And melt your cold, cold heart?

There was a time when I believed
That you belonged to me
But now I know your heart is shackled to a memory
The more I learn to care for you
The more we drift apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
And melt your cold, cold heart
