MERI TARAH

Kabhi yun bhi tere sath hua hoga, raste-dr-raste, safar-dr-safar.. Din raat chala hoga. Fir ek roz palat kar jab dekha hoga, meri tarah.. Tu bhi kahin nahin pahuncha hoga.

You're Missing Me

When you feel like your heart is trembling,

When you simply give up the choice of assembling,

When you bow down your head to surrender,

When you feel the sun amid December,

You’re missing me!!

When you read some more of a story you left before,

When you hope and rush to a knock on the door.

When you raise your hand to bring some shelter,

When you gape the time without moving further,

You’re missing me!!

When you swallow the taste of a kiss,

that still resides on your lips,

When you are driven to count your fingertips,

You’re missing me!!

When you put on slippers for a long walk,

When you find no one out there to talk,

When you chase the light until its dark,

When you lay down beside a lonely park,

you’re missing me!!

When you touch your skin like I used to,

When you wipe your eyes, tell me it’s who?

My love!

You’re missing me!!

HUA KUCH YUN NASHA

Hua kuch yun nasha ki raat yaad nahi,
kahan guzar gye wo lamhaat yaad nahi.
Tapkte jaam labon par kharonch chhod gye,
aise bhi hui thi ek barsaat..yaad nahi?
Pehali mulakat ka khel hai sare ka sara,
ki baad me aane wali mushkilaat yaad nahi.
dastkhat mitaane ki firaq me hi dikhti hai,
khat likhne wale use wo hath yaad nahi.
Kahin kaalikh,kahin sannaata,kahin benur 'chaaras',
kahan rakh chhodi wo neeli dawaat yaad nahi.

GALA BHAR AYA

Gala bhar aya magar roya nahi,
Fir ek raat mai soya nahi.

Neend bhi dekho kis baat par ruthi,
Ki usne khwab mera sanjoya nahi.

Uska kehna hai use yaad na karu,
Mujhe iski aadat ho ya nahi.

Zindagi ke kisi modh par usne..
 koi apna shayad khoya nahi.

Gala bhar aya magar roya nahi,
Fir ek raat mai soya nahi.

NAA KISI JASHAN MEIN

Naa kisi jashan mein gye,   

Na maatam mein shareek hue.

Hai naya-naya surur abhi,

zamaane ko tareekh hue.

Chal aaj khul kar ujaale mein bhi roya jaaye,

Beet gaya hai waqt bahut ,

muhalle me shareef hue.

Ye gila hai khud se ki main uska naa ho saka,

Vo lakeerein tak badal gya mera naseeb hue.

Yun to saath chalti hai har mod par

zindagi hi zindagi,

magar aaj talak nahi jana use itne kareeb hue.

UN PAR TARAS KHAA KAR

Unn par taras kha kar ehsaan kar diya,

Nafrat hai mujhe unse ye elaan kar diya.

Yaad toh ba-mushkil hi unhe mera naam ho,

Aaj bhul jana bhi lijiye aasaan kar diya.

Taaki koi sheesha unke ghar ka naa ho zakhmi,

Peeskar pattharo ko registaan kar diya.

Udhar rona ki unhein matlab nahi mujhse,

Idhar matlabiyon ne pareshan kar diya.

Muh ki khayega zubaan sambhaal ‘chaaras’,

Saafgoi ne jeena haraam kar diya.

THE PERFECT TIME

Growing inside

Dying outside,

It takes everything to feel alright.

Faded hopes

never let you cry,

You must sing even for a while.

It seems so unfair

at times,

When you can’t be that same old guy.

Everyday vanishes

Same way it did,

Its just how you say goodbye.

When no one cares

you’re passed or alive,

Hey!

That’s the perfect time to survive!
