aaj baarish ki raat hai...

aaj baarish ki raat hai...

khul ke baras jane ko bekal
mere mann ke khayalaat hain

rimjhim boondo mein dhundhti 
firu khud ko, aise haalaat hain

aaj baarish ki raat hai...

bheega mera aaj aanchal jisme
woh saavan ab bhi saath hai

chup rehne ko mat kehna mujhse
yeh bas ke bahar ki baat hai

aaj baarish ki raat hai...

Yaadein

yaadein dhokhebaaz hoti hain...
yaad nahi aati yaad karne par...

sochta reh jaye yaad karne wala
ulajh ke in mein bekhabar...

 kya woh tha koi bhula hua dost...
ya yeh tha koi bichhda humsafar...

 mil jaye jo ek yaad dilane wala...
toh kitna asan sa ho jaye safar...

Yaha the hum...

Saaye kohro me gum se gaye hai…
Aasmaan aankho me bandh sa gaya…
Dhoop badalo se jhank nahi pa rahi…
Aur dhund bhi ban gai hai ek saaya…
Ummeedo ke aangan
Band darwazo ke peeche
Jaha taakna bhi mana ho
Us daulat ko tijoriyo me bhi
Sambhal na sakoge…

Luta do mere jaane se pehle…

Khud ko peeche chhod aaye the jab

Acha lagta hai aapke sang angdaai si shaamein bitana...

Duniya aur nazro se dur Kahin akele nikal jana...
Acha lagta hai aapke sang angdaai si shaamein bitana...

Yaadon ki satrangi chaadar me Naye rango ke dhaage seete jana...
Acha lagta hai aapke sang angdaai si shaamein bitana...

Kal aaj aur kal ko sameyte Baate hi baate karte jana...
Acha lagta hai aapke sang angdaai si shaamein bitana...

Falling To Pieces...

i dont really know whats wrong with me
every second seems to last eternity
something strange is behind all this
coz i just know i'm falling to pieces...

shadows seem to be spying on me
it seems the world has a conspiracy
and lights that blind my line of sight
i just wanna run, no more can i fight

the lanes are all going against me
n i'm driving on a speed of one eighty
dont ask me why, but i wanna cry my eyes out
release the pain, please just let me shout

dont talk to me, dont try to help
this time around, i've lost myself
no one my own, no one i know
it's some other face, the mirror shows,

i am all alone in this maze of places
n all i know is i'm falling to pieces...

Life's Mysteries...

i question life today
and the meaning of it all
the drop that lasts an infinity
when nothing breaks your fall

i wonder why things happen
the way that they do
why god created life
and why he takes it too

i deject the way life is
what we see and breathe now
existence is the key here
but living, no one knows how

i know its not in my hands
to run life my own way
but i want to make the most
of what i have today

i pray that you too learn to live
more than just breaths you take
its your heart that counts in the end
and rest is all a Fake...

Why Can't I...???

Why can't I speak when there's so much to tell?
Why can't I write when I have so much in mind?
Why can't I sing when there's music in my heart?
Why can't I dance when air has this rhythm divine?

Too many words are left unsaid
Too many things that were left undone
Why can't it let be and why can't i?
For all i know, this pain deep inside-
Has taken away all the peace from my heart,
And left this ache, reminding me of the start...

For as long as we're apart,
I can never be complete;
And I long for the impossibility,
When we shall finally meet...

But the wait shall never end,
My agony will continue...
'Coz I can't stop my hopeless heart,
Every moment, from loving you...

To Lata...

I wear my heart on my sleeve
The world is my oyster, I believe

I see things the way they are
And wont be blinded by shiny stars

I talk of perfection of the inner self
Spirituality n psych, on my bookshelf

I hear people speak their minds
And many a thing I learn & find

I live in the time present now
I believe in moving on somehow

I strive to keep on the right track
However, temptations I do not lack

I wanna live my life to the hilt
but not drown in hordes of guilt

I dream of having it all
But am afraid of a fall

Mine should be a tale to tell
Minds I capture, n ideas I sell

That's who I am n who I wanna be
What can I say, that's just me!

For Him...

That face of innocence,
Those eyes full of care;
Words full of promise,
And expression and flair...

A mind that creates-
Thoughts of touching the sky;
Upon wings of ideas,
That spread and soar high...

Arms full of warmth-
And a loving embrace;
But never do they lack,
In strength or in grace...

A heart so pure-
As the first drop of rain;
Its love, a cure so strong,
That can erase any pain...

His world's untouched,
Unblemished by life...
Kept in a globe of glass,
That try as i might-
Cannot but touch,
Or go too close;
For if I be a thorn,
Then he, the rose...

Black & White

black and white
thats how the world is to me
i do not know its colors
have not seen its beauty

darkness and light
is how the days go by
there are no greys in life
their existence, i deny

weakness and might
are the people divided
games n gambles played
n so the world is sided

things wrong n things right
all our sins laid bare
life's a twisted game
n i'm just another player

Ek Ladki

ek ladki hai madmast si
apni hi duniya me vyasth si
sochti na jane kya rehti hai
har pal kahin khoi rehti hai

anjaan, dhunein sunti rehti
kisi se kabhi kuch na kehti
har baat me dhundhe gehraai
aankho mein chhipi koi sachaai

jaane kya hai mann mein iske
doobi rahe khwabo mein jiske
kya hai gham kya pareshani
koi na jaane iski kahaani

kisi anjaan dar se darti hai
usse ladne ki koshish karti hai
thak kar haar kar chur hoti
aankho se behte phir uske moti

phir bhi kuch is tarah dil chhuti
sadgi ki ho koi pyari si vibhuti
mann mein apni jagah banati
anjaani se apni ban jaati...

I Believe...

I dream of changing the world;

Of solving all of life's swirls...
I leave my footprints in the sands of time,
I believe not, in following straight lines.
I spread my wings, rise up & fly;
I am meant, to soar the skies...
I lead , I follow;
And write my own tomorrow...
I laugh, I cry and then laugh again,
I learn to wear masks on my pain...
I get broken, beaten, bashed;
I have all my hopes slashed...
I walk, I fall, I rise
Hence I continue my strife...
I learn lessons, I err;
But never to let them recurr.
I stray from my path,
Then try to find my way back.
I BELIEVE, therefore I CAN
That's what & how I am...

Forgive Me... Forget Me...

forgive me for i've sinned
forget me so i can repent

forgive me for i didn't understand
forget me so u never feel bad

forgive me for the times u couldnt sleep
forget me so u never lie awake in my wait

forgive me for all the tears u've shed
forget me so i cant make u cry anymore

forgive me for the time i made u spend waiting
forget me, make me a footprint in the sand of ur life

forgive me for the pain i've caused you
forget me coz i wana do it no more

forgive me for not being there when u needed me
forget me n i can go away so that u never do

forgive me for all the wrongs i've done
forget me so i can be a bygone

A search goes on tonight

A search goes on tonight...

A search for the path of life,
Sword's blade or blunt knife...

Searching in the past,
I spent my hours last...
A search went on, in this mind;
Amongst the shreds, left behind...

Search I did, in time - present,
In that five point star, this moon crescent...
Searched for one, just one source of light;
To dispel these shadows that blind my sight...

Search I will, in time to come-
Answers for the search thats begun...
Search for something to break my fall,
And end this search, for once and for all...

Liar

Walking amongst you, doesn't mean I'm here,
You can't see my face beneath the masks I wear;
Lost in darkness, I'm light years away from you,
Where even voices, can't find their way through...

Burning bridges above the water...
But it spins on- this world of slaughter!
Blood shed, and yet this pain-
Won't GO! It's drivin' me insane...

Laughs & shrieks fillin' my ears,
Eyes reflecting wasted years...
Shattered dreams, you can't realise-
Don't sympathise, it's in your eyes...

Why can't you see this ebbing fire??
All my life, I've been a bloody liar!

Blurred visions, of a not so distant past
I tried runnin', but they're catchin' up fast
I tried escapin', n i managed to get only so far
I realise I'm fightin', for an already lost cause...

N as they engulf me, I take my last breath of air
Coz all I'm seein' near me, is my own soul laid bare
Stripped to shreds by hounds, in an open grave
Wherein I lie dyin', as just another slave...

City Of Devils

Crawling from day towards night
Trudging on with morose lives
The hell on earth that it is
In this city of devils we live...

And in the shadows of cigarette smoke-
Strangers in empty alleys lurk;
Waiting, hoping, for their prey to come by
Their mad hunger- by which to satisfy...

Fears that Men carry within their souls
Magnified tenfold, by its haunted ghouls...
So unlike birth that it is
In this city of devils we live...

Papers do not bleed when cut,
And papers never heal...
We stamp all over them and yet,
Any pain they do not feel...
In some ways I'm a paper too,
My life's the same ordeal...
One side used and thrown away,
And so my fate is sealed...

Bound in my veins it flowed till yet,
Now free to flow forth...
The love I had and hatred that replaced it since-
Along my blood, that stains the world...

And had 'The End' come to take away;
Me, my spirit, the essence and soul...
And in its wake, bring-
a last breath of life;
It'd have found no such things to steal...
