I Need to Know

 The Sun raises a hope,

The night pulls it down.

Why does the Sun shine,

I need to know.


The day gave you to me, 

The night took you away,

If ever you were mine, 

I need to know.


The silence is stagnant,

And echoes never go,

Why do silence echo?

I need to know.


I can face the world but not

This love that ends in pain.

Why cant you come again?

I need to know.

I need to know.

Gumnaam Pal

 Kuch pal, adhure se, rahon mein bikhre hue.

Ek zindagi hain khokhli si, thaki hui.

Ek yaad hai, simti hui,

Dhundli hoti kuch tasveerein hain.

Ek shakhs hai apna sa ya shayad paraya,

Chalawa hai shayad wo, ya ek pyaas.

Ek mrigmarichika hai hasraton ka,

Saahil hai ya ek khwab.


Ye kaisi khamoshi hai, anant.

Ye kaisa pashopesh hai, aahon ka.

Sanson ka ye shor hai,

Pahar dar pahar maddhim hota

Khota hua, ek aanshu ki tarah

Palkon par kahin thehra

Gumnaam sa, akela, haara hua....

You

 Your smile, 

solace to my thirsty soul,

beaconing me

through the dark alleys,

holding me

through my loneliness.


this heart,

parched of love,

craves for the warmth

of your embrace,

come, burn my passion

once again my love.


those nights,

an era of love unbound,

a burning flame

rekindling every moment.

give me back one moment,

from those memories that i yearn


hopes are not dreams

and love's not just a moment,

thats what my heart says.

so i hold on

to you, life, and say

'I am blessed...'

Life

The night, so dark, yet my own
The light, so bright, yet unknown.

The images, of fading faces.
Faces, never my own.

The shadow, holding on to me,
Pain, I am holding on.

This night, the faces, the shadow, this pain,
I will laugh on thee, laugh again.

Laugh 'cause I love, laugh 'cause I am alive,
Laugh 'cause I know, laugh this is life...

Papa I Am Yours

Papa I am yours,
In flesh and blood,
I am yours.

When I needed you,
you never came.
When I was crying,
you never hugged.

Did you ever feel my pain?
Or even see my tears!
Did you ever know I am hurt,
Or see me bleed, every moment!

The house I thought mine,
your heart, where I never belonged.

This blood that you dont see,
is what binds you and me.
Papa I am yours...
today and forever,
I am yours...
