Na samjhe wo
Ashkon ki kahi
Na sun sake wo
Khamoshiyon ki zubaan
Manchala badal sa
wo ek sapna
Tanhaiyon mein,
Parvat pe jhuk sa gaya
Socha bol doon
Aaj ek baar, badha
Par us mod par
aake, ruk sa gaya.
Jo kabhi manzil tha
Khwaish tha, apna tha
band muthi mein ret sa
Simta, fir bikhar sa gaya....
Lahron par ruki
Ek ummeed,
Palkon par kaanpta
Ek khaab,
Lamho mein Simti
Ye zindagi..
Adhoore par, Saath hain
Jo Pura ho
Wahi pyar nahi hota,
Jo adhura hai
Wo bhi apna hai ....
Hakikat na sahi
Khoobsurat ek sapna hai
Jitna mila hai
Kismet se
Shukraguzaar hain
Aapki us Mauzudgi ka
Hakikat nahi, sapna hai
Adhoora hi sahi, apna hai....

aye raat thahar jaa aaj,
in palkon mein kaid kar lun mein unka chehra
us hansi ko sama lun apni saanson mein
ye 'zindagi' na jaane phir kab mile mujhe
agar wo yaadein kho gayi to,
ek ateet gum ho jaayega ehsaason ka
hum mein hi kahi dabi reh jaayegi,
ek duniya armaano ki, bikhri hui, khaamosh.
ye aashiyan pyar ka, wo aandhi zazbaaton ki
ye sahar ishq ka,
jeete hue ek dusre ko,
khamoshiyon ki awaaz mein gum.
Bikhri hui yaadon ke shazar mein
Raat ke palkon pe thahri wo aus ki boond
Ehsaas dila rahi aapki mauzidagi ka.
Lamho mein, Shor mein, Khamoshiyon mein...

Night you are beautiful,
So was the day.
I take a lot from you,
Lots i gave away.
Shadow I am,
here to linger,
then fade away.
I am just a shadow that the day has left
a bit longer on the face of the earth
to be doomed, as night approaches.
to be alive in the night.
shadow i am for a long long time to come...
Unknown by the faces
I lost somewhere in past.
Known to faces not seen or heard of.
shadow i am,
Of a person i was,
Of a person i cannot be.
I am a shadow of my past,
Of the choices i made in life,
And of those i couldnt make.
I am just a part of my old self,
What, i could have been
What, someday i was,
Shadow i am, shadow i was.
Lost myself in time
I am stagnant for years
Holding on to ruins
I watched myself decay.
I have seen the shadows galore
Explore the leftover remains
Of times that passed
And rust that remained.
I have seen the rats
Gnaw at the mud of my grave
Looking for the last part
Of my existence, which never was.
By every passing moment
I am coming closer to an end
The end that leads me
To a new beginning...of an end
