Dil ki baat II

Wo humse poochte hain ki -

Hum unhe paas kyu nahi aane dete;

Koi bataye ki hum unhe kaise samjhayein - 

Is baar bikhre to simat na paayenge.

Dil Ki Baat I

Mat rok mujhe -

Likhne de qatil;

Kya pata  is gustakh qalam se 

Kabhi tere bhi haalat-e-dil bayan ho jaaye.

Ye Kaisi Mohabbat

Tera zikr karne se bachte hain;

Kahin logo ko humari gustakhiyan pata na chal jaaye.

Tere charchon mein shaamil nahi hote;

Kahin humari aankhon se teri bewafaiyan chalak na jaaye.

Ye kaisi mohabbat kar li humne - 

Jo gir ke aaj tak sambhal na paaye.

Na tujhe apna paaye,

Na is jazbaat ko koi naam de paaye.

Hum Galat The

Hum to yu hi nikal pade the
Hawaon ki rukh ke sang; 
Socha gunguna lenge tarane masti ke,
Bana lenge bahane yaari ke,
Rang denge is duniya ko -
Apne hi rang.

Bekhayal lage gairon ko apnane;
Dosti ishq wafa ke vaade nibhane;
Hum to umeedon ke silsilon mein lage behne -
Koi mohabbat ka vaada humse bhi nibha lega,
Humein bhi dost bana lega,
Humari bhi bechainiyon ko gale laga lega.

Itni zor se cheekh lagayi haqiqat ne - 
Seham gaye hum apni masoom tabiyat mein;
Humari rago se garmahat hi kheech li ho kisi ne;
Ek thandi khauf dastak deti hai dhadkano mein.

Kya galat ho gaya humse jane anjane mein,
Aas hi toot gayi ho jaise - 
Ab kya ubhrein kisi ke samjhne se;
Hum ne to aitbaar kiya tha insaniyat pe,
Koi bata deta ki hum galat hain - 
To daav na lagate is zamane se.

Udaan

Meri har kahani mein zikr hai mohabbat ka - 
Khud se rihai ka, hosla-e-afzai ka.
Kuch fasane rangeen hai, kuch gamgeen;
Taaluq is zamaane se kuch aisa ho chala hai - 
Uljhano ke dararon se rengati zindagi bhi lage haseen.

Firaq-e-yaar k dard mein lipte hue - 
Ye ashq jo teri palko mein thehre hain;
Bereham zamaane se khauf zada silwate tere chehre pe - 
In silwaton se behne ki raah dhoondhe hain. 

Kyu roke hai tu apne jazbaat apni hi awaaz mein;
Teri aankhon se bayan tere halaat-e-zakhm ho rahe hain.
Apne befikr andaaz pe jhoothi nakhwat dikhane waale - 
Teri khoii muskurahat tere dil afgaar ko benaqaab kar rahe hain.

Tu khud ko aazaad kar le us har khayal se -
Jo tujhe Khuda se juda kar raha;
Is do ghadi ki zindagi ko kyu tu khalish-e-dil ki -
Badqismat yaadon mein zaya kar raha.
Ye teri ibtada-e-fatah hogi - 
Tu apna naseeb yun khaak mein na udaa.
Kyu apne zakhmo ka tabiib gairon ki rahmat mein dhoond raha;
Mohabbat to teri ruuh mein basa, teri rago mein beh raha.

Aazmaayish

Achha hua jo tumpe nahi guzra - 
Beraham jazbaaton ke belagaam aziyat;
Warna tumhe bhi ishq se kauf hota.
Tum bhi na aitbaar kar paate kisi pe;
Na kisi ko paane ki talab hoti,
Na kisi pe fanaa hone ka shauk hota.

Kisi gair ko apni berabt tamannaon ka sahara samjhkar,
Mohabbat-e-jahan ki duhai dene nikal pade.
Masarrat ke jhoothe fasaane jab mitti mein mile ,
To keechadd ke cheethon mein aarzu-e-daaman bhigone pade.

Aaj tumhari baahon mein doobe hue ye khayal aaya - 
Ye kis gustaq lamhe ne humein bewafa banaya.
Tumhare aitbaar par khare na utare hum,
Tumhari riyayat ne humein gumrah karaya.

Is nayi zindagi ke aagaz pe tum bhi khade ho aur main bhi;
Bahisht ke khwab aankhon mein lekar tum bhi chale ho aur main bhi.
Vaada hai tumse, humari roodaad-e-mohabbat khaak mein na milne denge;
Bus apni muskuraahat se humari meharoomiyon mein roshini bhar dena kabhi kabhi.

Tumse phir bichadne ke kauf se ye dil seham jaata hai;
Humari bebasi mein chalke aansuon pe humari wafa ko reham aata hai.
Ye jo aagaz hai, dua hai ki anjaam isse khoobsurat ho;
Waqt ki aazmaayish ho, par har daur tum sang haseen ho.
Tumhare liye jo jazbaat hai, agar iska naam "mohabbat" hai, to hai;
Tumhari qurbat mein jo sukoon hai, agar iska naam "aitbaar" hai, to hai. 

My Heart

Looking for someone who feels exactly the way you do?
Your heart does - it is right inside you!

Why do we mark it out in our sadness?
Why do we question it when we fail?
Why do we blame it when we are aimless?
Why do we curse it when our lives turn pale?

We miss to caress it when we rejoice;
It pumps hard to be in sync - its heartbeat its only voice;
We celebrate us with all that we only can see;
With no expectations, our heart still sets us free.

Thumping and pumping inside,
It was playful when we were high,
Gloomy when we sighed!
But how many times did we realize - 
It is not the moment that pricks us,
It's our perception about which we agonize.

I don't want to be mean to my heart anymore,
I wish to hold it and let it soar.
I want to feel its each beat,
Through every prize and moment of defeat.

I wish to grant it all it ever fancied;
Caress it and never let it bleed.
Embraced in my soul, in all hours of need;
It is loving and it is tender - 
It is my heart, indeed.

Ishq

Suna tha daastaano mein,
Aaj khud ko us haalaat mein paaya;
Dekha jab aapki nighaon mein,
To ishq ke wajood ka ehsaas aaya.

Doobne ki chah thi humein,
Par gehrai ka khayal na aaya;
Khoye aapke suroor mein aise;
Laga kisi ne dhadkano mein sharab milaya.

Karte rahe koshish aarzuon ko chupane ki,
Aapki muskurahaton ne humein reha karaya;
Har lawz utar gaya rooh-e-mohabbat mein,
Aapke ishq ne humein aalim banaya.

Ab hum bhi goom ho jaayein chahne waalon ki qataron mein,
Isi khayal ne humein rom-rom se jagaya;
Thaame dil-e-jazbaat, aankhon mein aapki talaash
Humari deewangi ne humein Aashiq banaya.

My Love For You

Holding my feelings I stand here gazing at the horizon-
I see you walking towards me with your arms open.

I wait for you,
I wait for the moment;
I want you to hold me,
I want you to make me believe 'Us'.

I see myself in light,
When I see you beside.
I have a heart beating inside,
You just made me realize.

Restrained emotions would go loose,
Senses would dance,
And the breeze seduce;
Such will be our touch, our kiss,
Our passion so strong,
Our love eternal bliss.

Phase of Doubt...

For the first time I am trying not to be judgemental;
Believe in my instincts and be experimental.
For the first time I am trying to trust my heart;
Gather my guts and get ready for a start.


For the first time I am trying not to be analytical;
Caress my brain to rest and see the destiny  twinkle.
For the first time I am trying to give myself a chance;
To love and be loved, perhaps that's the rule of romance.


What is that something holding me back;
When there is light everywhere - why do I see black?
What is that something not letting me go;
Holding me tight and making my life slow.


Confusion should not be holding a place here;
With blessings all around, there should be no fear.
I hope to see the right path glisten before situations blowout;
Guide me, strengthen my decision in this phase of doubt.
