The Lone Star

I wait in the hope
Of love, that eludes.
The lone shadow,
crucified by pain.

The muffled voices
of broken dreams.
The deafening silence
Of tearful eyes.

The darkness, the emptiness
Through this life beyond light.
I wait like a lone star,
mocking the seriousness of the night.

Yaadein

Shaayad maine kabhi nahi socha tha,

Ki itne saalon ke baad bhi,

tumhari yaadein yun mere zehan mein basi rahengi

Shayad tumne bhi ye socha na hoga.

Har ek lamha, har ek yaadein,

Har ek aahon ne ehsaas dilaaya tumhara,

Yun wo lamhe, yaadein aur aahein tadpayengi mujhe

Shayad tumne ye socha na hoga.

Bikhri hastratein, hamari tanhaiyan

Tute hue khwab, tumhari parchaiyan,

Haq pyar ka itna hi hamara hoga,

Shayad tumne ye socha na hoga.

Ek yaad tadpa jaaye,

Ek lamha rula jaaye,

Ateet se nikalkar, in tanhaiyon mein,

Shayad tumne ye socha na hoga.

Par aaj itne saalon baad,

Main sochta hun ki tum mujhe kyon nahin mile,

To ye sawaal uthta hai zehan mein,

Kya tumne bhi kabhi mere baare mein socha hoga?

The Cat

I watch you play

as if the whole world you own

or as if you dont care who does!

I laugh at my inability to play, like you.....

I wonder at your world, the ball of yarn.

I wonder at mine, a bag of problems.

And there you go, entangled in your world,

Like me, entangled in mine

I getup and get you out of your mess,

wishing someday you will get me out of mine....

But you, free from your bondage, run away from me

And i struggle to hold on.

You turn, and purrr..

And together, we start binding,

strings of our discarded love......

Distances

You were so close to me, always;

But still there were distances,

standing between us.

And now, when I must think

distances would be all that will matter.

I could find you much close to me.

It has been years when you crossed my fences,

And my heart buried all the feelings

It could not show.

And everything around me had stopped;

Stopped long ago.

So many times, I’ve went through

The each moment of my existence with you.

I’ve lived and relived those moments,

A million times,

But all I could feel

Were some ruins that dripped

Through the eyes on my solemn face,

And some memories,

Indispensable memories, which remained.

The pains are all true just like my love,

Something which you never believed upon,

And it’s the only truth that remains in my existence

And something I could never overcome.

And at the end of the day

I could see loneliness,

As always, standing beside me.

And so standing the image of your lovely eyes.

The very eyes that held me once,

The eyes that kept me alive.

And now when I may behold them very close,

I realise, distances do mean a lot …….

A Love Story

I splash hard on your rock

I'll break it free someday

The rock still stands tall,

The water withers away....

I kiss both your ends, o shore,

I vow to bring you together someday,

The shore just laughed,

The meeting is miles away.

For you I bring shells and beauties from far

I bring love, may be happiness too someday.

The shore and the rock laugh

The sea is just dumping things away....

I know It will come to You

.
When you want it the most
Love never comes to you.
But keep faith in me.
I know it will come to you

We are one shadow Without a face,
Not a ME or a YOU,
So hold on to your dreams
I know it will come to you.

Where this road will lead us?
Will love see us through?
I dont know destiny, my love!
But I know it will come to you.

Parchaiyaan

parchaiyon mein tere shaamil hoon,
tujhse door kahan jaunga.
jitne door jaoge tum,
utne kareeb aa jaunga.

pukaroge andheron mein kabhi,
jab khamoshiyon ko humdum,
thahroge; dhundoge, jis aur,
main hi main nazar aunga.

sheeshe ki khanak hoon main,
toot kar bhi aaunga,
har aahon mein shaamil hoon tere,
saanson mein ghul jaunga,

parchaiyon mein tere shaamil hoon,
tujhse door kahan jaunga.
jitne door jaoge tum,
utne kareeb aa jaunga.

Unfinished Life

What you meant to me, I could never tell,
You are so much more, you would never know.
Sometimes when life looks back on me, and i on her,
I will ask her, what would it be with you!

Will it ask the same questions,
will it lead through the same roads.
Will I meet my fate in your lap here.
Or, Will you just lead me on...

 Lost my words, when I lost you,
And may be life would come seeking me again,
Far, somewhere, away from me,
Something unfinished, will still remain....
