Sigh!

Finally, I'm done with posting all the verses I wrote so far
...wrote 70 of them in a span of 10 years!
Most of these are responses to / descriptions of events in my life.
At times, I feel that I have used all the words I know, in all possible combinations.
But I continue to surprise myself with each new composition.
I hope the source, from where these things flow, continues to help me channelize my energies / emotions.

Jee karta hai (II)

Jee karta hai, kuchh gungunaoon, kuchh gaaoon main
Lavz jo kabhi ubhare na ho dil ki gehraiyon se
Naye suron mein, unhe piroh kar
Naya taraana banau main

Jee karta hai, udd udd jaaoon, ambar mein main
Khwaab jo kabhi dekhe na ho raat ki parchhaieyon mein
Neele gagan mein, khud ko hi kho kar
Naya afsaana banau main

Jee karta hai, phir utrun jab, dharti pe main
Boondein jo kabhi nikli na ho aasmaan ke aanchal se
In baadalon mein, unko sang le kar
Nayi barsaatein le aaoon main

Jee karta hai, behti jaaoon, is dariya main
Boondein jo behti aaie, parbaton ke daaman se
Inhi maujon mein, unko dubo kar
Naye kinaare le jaaoon main

Tera saath hua karta tha

Is haath mein mere, tera haath hua karta tha
Har rah mein meri, tera saath hua karta tha

Kya din the mere, kya raatein hua karti thi
Jo chahate meri, sab poori hua karti thi

Hum jab se the mile, sama mehka hua lagta tha
Tum paas the mere, jahan rangeen bada lagta tha

Woh khushiyaan meri, jaane kahan gum ho gayi
O meri dil-nasheen, jaane kahan tum kho gayi

Ab tum nahi mere, to ruswaai hi haath hai
Har rah mein meri, bas tanhaai ka saath hai

Kya khwaab the mere, kya haqeeqat ab baaki hai
Ab dhadkane meri, bas itni dua karti hai

Ab tum jahan raho, sapnon ki wahan mehfil ho
Jis aur tum chalo, khushiyaan hi tumhe haasil ho

Beete hue jo pal, unhe bhoolna bada mushkil hain
Hai aisa yeh safar, jahan dard hi meri manzil hai

Jee karta hai (I)

Jee karta hai, kuch gaaoon, kuch gungunaoon main
Lavz jo kabhi ubhare na ho dil ki gehraiyon se
Naye suron mein unhe piroh kar
Naya taraana aaj banau main

Jee karta hai, bhatak jaoon, rahein bhool jaoon main
Jis makaam tak kabhi khwaab bhi na pahonche ho
In dishaaon ki saheli bankar
Us mazil ka safar apnaoon main

Jee karta hai, kuch sochoon, kuch samajhoon main
Kisi anjaane shayar ki bhooli hui gazal ko
Apne andaaz se padhkar
Naya afsaana jee loon main

Jee karta hai, door kahin, bas behti jaaoon main
Insaani jasbaaton ka jahan basera na ho
Aisi duniya se talash kar
Naye khayal khoj laoon main

Jee karta hai, so jaoon, aisi gehri neend mein
Na saansein chalein, na dil dhadake
Kuch aisa ho us nisha ka asar
Ki wohi savera dobara na dekh paoon main

That thing you do

You whisper sweet wishes every morning into my ears
You offer your shoulder to wipe away my tears

You brighten up my day with a smile or a hug
You go out of your way to make me feel smug

You treat me like a queen and pamper me silly
You caress me with your touch, soft as a lily

You walk beside me or even carry me in your arms
You chase away my blues and cheer me with your charms

It's your presence around me that makes life worth living
I wonder if I could return even half of what you're giving

Fear (II)

It was fear that made me think
Made me look into a direction other than yours
To try and find something that would be mine for eternity

Sure, those were hard times
I was almost driven to the point of insanity
My brain almost gave up but my heart, stubborn as ever, didn't

I somehow always knew
That the fear tried to conceal something
Something beautiful, something I always yearned for

This fear, I perceived
Was guarding whatever valuable there was
Not only from me, but from anyone who'd want to have it

I think of fighting my fears as a test
To know for myself, how badly I want something
How much I'd wait and what I would sacrifice to get it

My fears keep surfacing
Frequently enough to keep me on my toes
And they drive me constantly in some weird direction

Like now, for example
Where I have come, so far away from you
Who meant everything to me for those many years of my life

And look at me here, today
Conscious of nothing else but myself
Surprisingly, happier than I could ever imagine

Fear does these things to you
It tries you till you quit or conquer
You can choose to face it or turn your back on it

There's no neglecting it, however
Fear follows you when you try to run away
Face it to slay it, there's nothing you can't defeat

That's what I learned all along
Conquering the fears that haunted me
So that now I expect something better beyond every fear I encounter

Humaaraa safar

Nikal pade hain saath-saath
Ek-dusare ka thaame hue haath

Na kisi ek dishaa mein chalnaa hai
Na kisi manzil ki or badhna hai

Bas tay karne hain kuchh raastein
Jo hum khud banaayenge apne vaaste

Is safar ka koi maqsad nahi hai
Sirf saath chalne ka mazaa kaafi hai

Jab raahein banaana apne bas mein ho
To hume hi sochna hain ki wo kaisi ho

Jab khushi paane ka man kare, to unhe khoobsoorat banaayenge
Jab khushi man bhar jaye, to unmein kaante bikher denge

Man kare to peechhe mud jayenge
Ya chaahein to naya mod bana denge

Apni zindagi hum khud jiyenge
Apni maut hum khud marenge

Maut ke baad bhi agar koi safar hota hai
To usmein bhi saath chalna hum pasand karenge

The force within

I'm a very blessed child
Once again I realize
When I close my eyes
I can see myself as a complete human being
All my organs in place, and functioning well
A brain that works
A heart that feels
And a mind for sound judgement
I'm not a cripple
Who has to struggle through the daily grind
I'm lucky enough to be self-dependent
What more can one ask for?
Yes, I falter many a times
But at least I am able to assess that
I have the courage to accept my faults
I ability to overcome them
And the humility to learn from them
At times, I feel like a genius
When certain good ideas pop up
And then I end up congratulating myself
So I don't need others' appreciation
For my personal gratification
Every now and then I can feel the presence of the Force
The Balancing Factor, the Source of Beauty in this cosmos
And every time it comforts me
To know that it is also within me

A difficult choice

I've made a difficult choice recently
And I don't know where it's gonna take me
Or, maybe, I do
And, altough, I prefer not to think of it
It looms large like an omnipresent fear
It's a guilt I'm gonna carry for a long time to come
Not towards anyone else but myself
I wanted something, and was drawn towards it
Not only that, I got it moving in my direction
But then I was distracted by something else on the way
Something so desirable, and so accessible
I set aside my previous goal for another lifetime
Yet, this doesn't mean that the goal was less important or less desirable
But, somehow, I'm not yet capable of handling it
I'd prefer to wait, to learn, to stumble across numerous paths
Which could someday lead me to it
I may be blood-spattered or half-dead by then
But, I'll be sure I'm worthy of it
And wise enough to understand its true meaning

Creative utilization of negative energy :)

Sometimes things really piss me off
And then I can't do anything but scoff

Usually it's something very silly
That makes me fume like a red hot chilly

Then I need to run away into a shelter
Just to save others around me from my temper

Not that it matters to most people
But at times it makes me feel a bit feeble

How could I let such trivia trouble me
When I always want myself to be hassle-free

Aap ka asar

Nazaron ke saamne, har waqt, aap hi chhaye rehte ho
Aankhen band kar leti hoon phir bhi aap hi dikhaai dete ho

Khayalon mein mere aaj-kal aap hi base rehte ho
Kuch aur sochna chaahu to bhi aap hi yaad aa jaate ho

Kaanon mein har lamha aapki hasi goonjti rehti hain
Baat koi bhi kar le, awaz aapki sunaai deti hai

Saason ko humaari, jab aapki saansein mehkaati hain
Dhadkanon mein aapki, humaari dhadkanein kho jaati hain

Lahu banke, nason mein humaari, ab se aap hi bahaa karo
Gujaarish hai aapse, wajood ko humaare, yunhi mitaa diya karo

When you walked into my life

The past few months have left me feeling like a river run dry
Words would not pour forth, as before
From that eternal source of life and joy

I kept pondering over the reason
But could not come to a conclusion

Then, I gave up searching
And just let myself be

Just as we, on earth, have seasons
The mind also has "dry spells," I reasoned

Change is the only constant--it's so true
I couldn't agree more

For, soon enough, something around me would change
Someone was to enter my life, and get very close

And that someone is so disarming
I had to lay bare everything for him

So he could reach deep enough
To touch the core of my existence

His touch created gentle ripples in me
That helped my feelings to resurface

The river that had seemed to dry up
Was actually a brook caught under the frost

The warmth this person exudes
Is melting the frozen surface

The brook itself is aspiring to be freed
So it could bathe this person in its glory

He knows this very well, but opts not to speak of it
And behind his simple appearance, I can see an aura of perfection

Making love

You ask me what I'm feeling...

Now, how do I tell you what's on my mind?
How do I tell you, with so many strangers around?

Strangers, I call them, for they do not know us
They can see what we do
But they don't understand how deep it is

For them, it's just a touch, a physical contact

How would they know that it's the best way to -
Tell you how much I appreciate your presence
How much you love me for being myself, and
How happy we are to have found each other

It's only in solitude that we can surrender completely
And accept each other
With all our similarities and differences
The essence of our character

...That's what making love is all about

And that's how I want to tell you
That I've found my happiness in you

I want to have you

I want to have you...

Like a mother has a child -
A life breathed into her
Which then takes a beautiful form of its own

Like dew drops on a tree -
Condensed from the atmosphere
And soothing the parched skin of its tender leaves

Like a baby bird's first flight -
Freed from the limitation of the nest
Flapping its tiny wings to conquer the expanse of the sky

Like the certainty of death -
Liberating me from this matrix
And helping me step into another dimension of learning and light

Like the achievement of perfection -
When I break the barriers of doubt and despair
Only to notice the paradigm shift
...One more challenge thrown my way
To churn the answers out of my all-knowing self

I want to have you like never before...

A reconnection with my soul
Long lost and very, very recently found

To the one I love

Across the distance that separates us
I can see you my dear one
Living the continuum of time

Defeating the ghosts of your past
That haunt every moment of your solitude
Threatening to break you

Laying the foundation of your future
By working towards it
Every minute of your day and night

Yet you live the present
Like no one else could
Seeking and testing your integrity at once

If you think circumstances are not in you favor
Just look from my perspective
You'll see yourself surrounded by opportunities

You are proving your mettle every moment
Doing your duty towards yourself
Striving hard to attain your goals

You say you're nowhere near perfection
But I can see you getting closer to it each day
With your grit and determination

It's your desire that drives you on
Your hope that keeps you going
And your passion that fuels your actions

Faith

When you're too happy for words
And the ones closest to you don't care
What do you do
When they just don't want to look from your point of view
For you it's jubilation time
While they linger around in doubts
Doubts about your capability, your success
They'd ask for proof
And show no excitement about your achievement
They neither appreciate whole-heartedly
Nor share their concern

They allow you to go on with your activities
As if nothing happened
So you keep walking with a heavy heart
And just when you are about to reap the benefits of your hard work
They appear out of nowhere
Only to tie your feet with ropes
Whose control lies in their minds

It is then that you go through a trauma
For you know you love them
And yet you can't sacrifice the possibilities
You know they don't mean harm
They try to play it safe
But end up asking you to put your future at stake

When you're brimming with self-confidence
And they command you to settle for mediocrity
How do you react to such atrocity

It is at this moment that your faith is tested
You have an option to be calm
And look up to the One who plans it all
Smile at Him, and He is bound to melt
The ropes will be loosened, the pressures reduced
You'll be let go, and may walk on to a certain distance

As your dear ones see you take control
As they see you win your battles
They will themselves cut the ropes
And they will draw closer
Not to oppose, not to hold you back
But to support you in every venture
For by now, they will have realized
Your true potential and your strength of character

Effort

It's always been like this in here
I have to keep waiting and hold back a tear

Al my wishes, my every desire
Requires me to walk through fire

At times it's easy and rather quick
Seems like it was only a trick

At other times it goes on and on
Till my faith is tattered and torn

But then, I survive yet again
And realize, it's not all in vain

The object of my desire is gifted to me
Just as I had imagined it to be

But then, I look back at the incident
And remember, it hasn't been an accident

It was my effort and determination
That helped magnetize this satisfaction

From Duality to Neutrality

Ever wondered at how the absence of one thing means
The presence of another?

Consider Truth, for example
The absence of which, identifies
The presence of a Fallacy
Just as the absence of Life ascertains
The presence of Death

Boolean values, you call them, don’t you?
Which constitute the very foundation
Of this Information Age
Digital signals, magnetic and optical storage
What have you!

Think of a Day
Whose Death itself
Gives Birth to a Night
The End of which in turn
Marks the Beginning of yet another day
This phenomenon of oscillation
That drives the universe…

Yet, existence and non-existence
Are not distinct entities
There has to be an interface that binds them
So that they don’t face each other, or get interwoven

Neutrality, I call it

As long as we “feel”
We remain part of the oscillatory wave
Vibrating between the two extremes
At our own frequencies

I perceive these, as anxiety and pleasure
Our velocity is what keeps us in motion

Ironically, during oscillation
We pass through this state of being neutral
But only momentarily

If you notice, that’s the moment
When we experience freedom
From both, joy, as well as grief

The key lies in reducing our velocity
And gradually, we’ll settle down
To this median of Neutrality

…The result of Nirvana
Derived from the Principle of Duality

Gratitude

I often wonder, if I get to thank God, how would it be?

This life I got, the love I sought
In all his kindness, he showered upon me

The basic necessities of life stand fulfilled
Without a request or a prayer

It is an indication that I am a blessed child
Given special attention and care

I do not have to struggle for existence
That peace has been granted

All I'm supposed to do is utilize the foundation
To build a strong structure of love

Love, that comes with learning
Learning through exploration
Exploring to seek answers
The quest with a passion

A passion to get acquainted with myself
To identify a part of me in everything and everyone else
To locate myself in every simultaneous time and space

And when I have done that
My purpose will be solved

I will have found
The words to express the gratitude I owe to the Almightly Soul
The courage and purity needed to stand and look up to The One
Not in arrogance, but in humility

And let the Ultimate Being embrace me
Into a life of further learning

Flashback

Memories of my childhood
Often peep through the past
Pictures of the neighborhood
Flash by, a bit too fast

I was the reigning queen then
Adored byt everyone I met
My house used to be my great den
Where all my comforts were set

The days began with innocent mischief
By relieving people of their illnesses
With a runny nose rubbed into the kerchief
After poking into other's businesses

I'd run around as much as I could
With those two chubby little feet
Till I'd wear myself more than I should
And finally curl up into the sheet

Pranks filled up the days
While dreams ruled the nights
Things had to go my ways
Or we'd end up with fights

Puddles were my favorite pass time
And mom had to drag me out
But for me there was no last time
And she still needs to shout

Somewhere along the way
Things changed as I grew
My learning differed each day
With the conclusions I drew

The complex puzzles of life
Caught me in their net
Cutting these ropes with a knife
Isn't quite easy, I bet

These flashbacks provide relief
From the daily torment
They help me forget my grief
And enjoy every moment

A jumble of words

A jumble of words, a maze of letters
A heap of symbols, I browse through

Though, at times, it gives me the jitters
And I can't get an idea to fall through

At such scary times, my heart flutters
And I doubt if I can even scrape through

I mumble words, and let out stutters
I turn blind to what I usually see through

Then I seek refuge in one of the obscure corners
Where not a soul can peep through

A few minutes to myself, and then it seems
That there's nothing I can't run through

Blessings

The early morning dewdrops
Bring freshness into my life
But I tend to ignore them
Burdened with yesterday's failures
And anxious of the days to come

Each day brings a fresh start
A whole new set of opportunities
As an answer to my prayers
But I forget that it's a blessing
And end up taking it for granted

I fail to keep in mind
That each day is just a time frame
No day is different by itself
Unless I make it stand out from the rest

It takes a few minutes of introspection like these
To sit back and reflect, every now and then
About the gifts life has given me
And what I have done with them

I need to constantly remind myself
Especially when I crib about what I lack
That what I have in hand
Is not to be assumed, nor will it stay forever

Whenever I do this kind of self-talk
I find myself better able to cope with any situation
For then, I notice the positive aspects of things
Focus, and build on them, instead of shying away

It's only when I get in touch with my inner self
That the layers of rust are washed away
To reveal the clear, calm divinity
In whose light I can learn and grow

Me and the moon

Out of my window, I look at the moon
Towering above the tree tops
Amid fluffy little clouds
At times, I see the surrounding halo
With my chin tucked into my pillow

At times, the moon peeks back at me
I can see the sheepish smile
Behind its radiant smile
Spreading its tender rays onto my face
A slight tinlge on my skin

As the soft breeze ruffles my hair
My arms spread out involuntarily
My lips part to let out a sigh
Eyes lowered, and head thrown back
As if in mute surrender

The sounds of a gypsy song echo in my ears
As if I've been one of them, all through the years
A gentle tap on my shoulder zaps me back to reality
And I know, it's only time
Who can exercise this brutality

My journey with you

I was wounded, and I was dead
I didn't know which way to head
Then you came to me and said
You can't just stop, you have to tread

You gave me your hand
And you helped me stand
You flew me off to another land
Hypnotized by a magic wand

The land of imaginations and dreams
To both of us, the beloved realms
Where knowledge flows through lovely streams
And ideas appear as radiant beams

When everything was sad and sore
I escaped through a secret door
You breathed life into me once more
You touched me from the surface to the core

And just when I thought you set me free
I turned around and saw you flee
You made me feel like a supporting tree
Though, without me, you could be glee

All the love I feel today
Would have never come my way
Had I not gone astray
And happened to hear you say

"Sweet wookie, where are you?
I'm feeling so lonely and blue
Tell me what I need to do
To fly away and be with you"

Soon, we happened to find each other
And then nothing else did matter
Bu this was to happen sooner or later
And now I think, it was for better

All this hurt, and all this pain
Makes me feel like I've been slain
I would have never felt it again
But now I know, it's all in vain

Emptiness

A terrible void surrounding me
A terrible hollow within me

Nothing to care for
No one to live for

I wake up with a lost mind
Only to face the daily grind

There seems to be no purpose
And yes, I think it makes me nervous

Nothing to look forward to
So now, what do I do?

But when I'm almost convinced about being dead
A pain arises from the heart and ends up in the head

Just when I think I've lost all feeling
Something tells me, I need healing

To make it worse, the wounds of yesterday
Surprisingly, don't matter to me today

What then, is this pain about?
Is it love again? I doubt...

And if it is love, then why this emptiness?
Inspite of finding a soulmate, there's loneliness

A thousand questions pertaining to the future
But from an empty present, I need to venture

Crazy words

I'm in the mood for some fun today
So don't expect me to make sense
Or you can just go your way

I'm about to try something I never did before
Like building a house of words
To see what it can store

There's an array of emotions in this heart
Love, care and hope for a friend
Who's close yet far apart

I want to arrange each and every feeling
Over the entire floor
That goes right upto the ceiling

Scramble the words, bend the rules
Break free of conventions
Let's do away with old tools

Let your imaginations run wild
Don't settle for adoptions
Bear your own child

Your ideas make up your identity
So never borrow them
That's self-infidelity

Never be put down by any calamity
Try over and over again
Never settle for mediocrity

With these crazy words, let me summarize
Care for yourself
Love your work
Hope for the best
And may all your dreams materialize

Aap ka khayaal

Jaanu, aapke baare mein sochti hoon, to koi aur khayal nahi rehta
Aapse baat karne ke baad, kuch aur sunne ka man nahi karta

Aankhein band kar loon, to aapki maujoodgi ka ehsaas hota hai
Aapki muskaan jab yaad aaye, wo lamha theher-sa jaata hai

Kitni saari baatein karni hain, sochti hoon, jaane kab milenge
Par itna bhi jaanti hoon, milne par kuch bhi na keh sakenge

Itne faasalon ke baavajood bhi, aap kyu inte kareeb lagte ho
Itne anjaan hokar bhi, aap kyu apne-se lagte ho

Jab se aapko jaana hai, bas aap ki ho chuki hoon
Aapki kitni aarzoo hai, ab tak na keh saki hoon

Aap is tarah se dekha na karo, ek chhoti-si gujaarish hai
Sharm se palkein jhuk jaati hain, tauba, ye kaisi kashish hai

Finding my objective

Wanted to escape for a long time now
I grabbed the chance today, somehow
Through this little verse, I intend to rebel
And scrap those problems on which I dwell

It's time to switch to a new perspective
And identify my real objective
It isn't as easy as it sounds, though
There are hurdles on every way I go

Never to get caught back in a net
Never to rest till my goal is set
I need to have a passionate aspiration
Challenges then provide all the inspiration

The absence of an objective in life
Results in a constant internal strife
And pain is all that you can inflict
With the impairing self-conflict

Well, that contradicts my true entity
'Cause I believe in my own integrity
So, today, here I make a vow
I'll find my objective, anyhow

Baatein (II)

Palkein moond lete hi, khwaabon ki barsaat hoti hai
Khwaabon mein tum aate hi, rangeen ye qaaynaat hoti hai

Baatein tumhaari sunte hi, khayaalon mein kho jaati hoon
Khwaabon ke is silsile ko, kuch aur main uljha deti hoon

Uljhanon se hi banti hai khoobsoorat ye zindagi
Warna koi kyu karta kisi khuda ki bandagi

Na jaane kaun-sa jahaan khojte rehtein hain
Hum aur tum, na jaage, na soye rehtein hain

Bematlab ki baatein hain, log to yehi samajhtein hain
Par in baaton ki gehraai, bas, hum dono jaantein hain

Insomnia

As the city rests in peaceful slumber
I dream that I'm a little plumber

Every person has leaky pipes
And all are of different types

I have mine, back home, too
But those, I seldom attend to

I get too fussy sorting out things
Analyzing the perspectives of other beings

I dwell on an issue long enough
And that adds on to the pending stuff

I need to let go of every entity
That threatens to destroy my sanity

I'm clinging on to my profession
Trying to forget every emotion

And in chasing away the phobia
I've eventually gotten insomnia

My elusive friend

I'm killing everything human inside me
I'm killing every emotion that could be

There's a bond that ties me to you
But it's meaningless, I know

The farther I go from you
The harder it tugs at me

It was just a moment of weakness
That put me into this mess

I try my best to make love a happy emotion
But each time it drowns me in my own tears

Each time I try to rebel and rise out of this vicious spell
I am termed "inhuman" and branded "heartless"

But who will ever know
Deep inside, all I ever have is love

It's my heart that influences every decision
It is what triggers every action

Inspite of all the give-and-take I've had
I still feel empty and lonely and sad

Every time I set my heart on something
I come to know soon, that I have to let it go

Well, I don't want no money
And I don't want no food

All I care for is a good friend
Who feels all just the same

Phew! I'm done for the day.

I've uploaded 40 out of 65+ of my poems/verses and I cannot do any more right now.
The plan was to put all my work in one place in one night, but I'm already too tired.
My back is hurting and my neck is gonna break and my nose is still recovering, so my dear bed, here I come...
Oh, BTW forgive me for all those English versions of my Hindi poems, I didn't have a choice at the moment. I might upload some JPEGs and remove these horrible things as soon as I can.

I wonder about you

How do you spend your entire day
Wookie, you make me wonder

There's so much to learn all the way
Honeydew, you make me ponder

So much to do, so little time
Things just keep getting harder

But even when stripped to the last dime
I know you won't surrender

You inspire me with the things you do
My friend, you make me stronger

And when you know you've troubled me too
You chase away my anger

My sweet Wookie, you've a special place
You'll always stay in my heart

Though, at times, you may feel
A current tearing us apart

Yeh faasle

Aaj ki baat nahi, puraana dard hai
Sadiyon se darmiyaan hai yeh faasle

Ek-doosre to dhoondh to liya hai
Phir bhi qaayam hai yeh faalse

Koshishein kaie kar chuke hai
Mitte nahi hai yeh faasle

Intezar mein jaan nikalti hai
Kitne tarsaate hai yeh faasle

Waqt to haar maan chuka hai
Kyu majboor karte hai yeh faasle

Hum dono to jismon mein qaid hai
Warna yu na sataate yeh faasle

Jismon ko to judaa kar rakha hai
Par roohon ka kya karenge yeh faasle

Once again I promise you

Some days back I promised you
Something I always wanted to

I thought I'd need to work hard
But found that I need to work smart

Learning something new each day
Is really interesting, I must say

It makes me build my confidence
And puts to test my intelligence

I'm required to take quick decisions
And sometimes calculate to precisions

At times I use my intuition
But rarely any assumption

It's good to make things clear
In case of doubt or fear

It's fun to plan and work all day
Spending time the productive way

Lucky to have a good synergy
I creatively utilise my energy

In my life I now have an ambition
And YOU have brought in this revolution

I'll make OUR dream come true
Once again I promise you

Kashish

Duniya mein aate hain sab insaan
Liye hisaab mein faaydaa na nuksaan

Jeene ki pehli nishaani hoti hai ek saans
Jiske saath hi aati hai rone ki awaz

Ek nanhi-si jaan jab pehli baar roti hai
Logon ko na jaane kis baat ki khushi hoti hai

Rote-rote hi seekh jaatein hain log hasna
Jaise makdi ke jaal mein keede ka phasna

Bachpan ki masoomiyat mein hoti hain khushi
Umr ke saath beet jaati hai saaree hasi

Duniya ki uljhanon mein kho jaatein hain insaan
Haqeeqat ko bhoolkar bas rehte hain pareshaan

Maut ke saaye mein phir rah jaati hai ek kashish
Khud ko samajhne ki kaash ki hoti koshish

Dil ka soonaapan

Aksar hota hai yeh humaare saath
Kho jaatein hain kahin humare saare jasbaat

Chaahkar bhi lagta nahi kuchh haath
Aur dab jaati hain hothon mein saaree baat

Aankhein bhi kuchh bayaan nahi kar paati
Jaise dil mein kuchh bhi raha na ho baaki

Aise mein bhi ek sukoon-sa milta hai
Kuchh ajeeb-sa yeh ehsaas hota hai

Hothon pe hoti hai phir bhi ek muskaan
Ise paagalpan kahein ya rab ka ehsaan

Nahi doston, yeh nahi hai koi gum
Dil ke is soonepan mein hi sabse khush hai hum

Woke up to a new life

I'd been clinging onto a leaf
To avoid being washed down a cliff
But the moment I let go
I was surprised by the calm flow

I just woke up to a new life
That only appears full of strife
But there's no limit, no binding
Here, happiness has no ending

No more nagging and no answering to do
There's freedom, there's fun, all so new
No more tears and no emotion
Life's a journey with no destination

Life is an infinite ocean
Of which I know only a portion
But I yearn to learn more
Understand it right to the core

Guys, gals, strangers and pals
All are now equal, there's no one special
It's all just a self-imposed restriction
We burden ourselves with every relation

Dare to step into the unknown sphere
Coz you have the innate power to conquer
Let alone all the fear
And put your courage into gear

Don't be sad if there's no one with you
Remember, your only real friend, is you
Forget the gloom for a while
And then you can't help but smile

The bowl of love

I received a gift from heaven above
It was a tiny bowl full of love

I was told to handle it with care
The gift being so precious and rare

The angels asked me to be cautious
And keep away from anyone suspicious

I was to share it with a special someone
But finding him was easier said than done

I had to walk through ages without a stop
Never to spill out even a single drop

On the way I found someone who seemed like him
So I poured him a little love over the brim

More than a few drops he could not take
The rest trickled down to form a lake

This lake of thorns I now had to walk through
Day by day my troubles grew

And then I saw him sitting alone in the distance
He gave meaning to my entire existence

I approached him, yearning to share the gift
But he just sat there, to scared to shift

He finally said he wanted something milder
I could see my test getting harder

I then got a sieve to help me out
And then, friendship flowed through the pout

The impurities remained on the surface
While happiness shown upon his face

I'm now drying up those impurities
Nothing but faith and hope it is

Someday he'll get me his bowl of friendship
And I'll let these impurities seep

Then he'll recognize what it is
And know it was meant to be his

We'll then share the bowl of love together
Satiated in the presence of each other

Baatein nazaron ki

Sile hue hothon mein kaie raaz dafn hotein hain
Jhuki hui palak se jo bayaan kiye jaatein hain

Janna chaaho agar daastaan humaare dil ki
Kar lo roshan yeh shamaa apne nazaron ki

Humaari nazaron ke jugnoo bas khinche chale aayenge
Aapki nazaron ko saaree daastaan keh jayenge

Alfaazon ki jahaan koi zaroorat hi nahi
Zubaan ladkhadaane ki gunjaaish kahan rahi

Khayaal to kaie hain jo alfaaz ban na paye
Dar hai kahin aankhon se woh saare chhalak na jaaye

Aap to unhe thaam hi lenge apni hatheli par
Kar gayi humse yeh waada aapki pehli nazar

What I wish for you

Far away from this earthly stink
Where lovely stars and planets blink

I'd take you to a distant world
Where you'll see your dreams unfurled

There'd be no one to pester you, no one to nag you
Just people who accept you, people who adore you

You'll fly around without rockets
And never bother about air pockets

You can glide peacefully as much as you want
And forget about ill-memories that haunt

And when you're tired like a child after play
You can always come back my way

You'll find me around whenever you need me
Only too happy to set you free

You know what I want most, dear Wookie?
I want you to be yourself, as much as you can be

Dealing with fear

Ever noticed, how your fears surface when you're asleep?
You dream about them and cannot help but weep

They take your peace away
They scare you in every way

You sleep longer than you need
To no alarm can you then pay heed

You linger on the bed, trying to run away from them
While they go on and multiply, each to the power of ten

This goes on till you stop dead in the tracks
And rack your brains to gather the facts

Then you remember you're just lying down with your eyes closed
And the fears would not be known to you, had you not dozed

Thankful for the realization, you turn to face them
And then they appear crystal clear, as the ridges of a gem

You can't help but laugh at yourself
To think you've made a monster out of an elf

The simple solution then dawns upon you
You just get out of bed and you're through

Fears cannot be dealt with when you're asleep
You just have to drag them and throw them off a cliff

With the fears gone, you can not only tackle problems head-on
But also retain the solutions, in case you need them later on

A story of soul mates

A story of two souls, this day I write in here
I hold it close to my heart, it's so very dear

Both of them once flew down to earth
Fascinated by it, they both took birth

They, who lived together, were then torn apart
To learn how it feels, to meet and depart

Both were separated by a vast stretch of land
Their memories erased by some magic wand

Each one was brought up in a different way
Had a common longing though, every single day

As they grew up, the longing grew stronger
Where was the other, both used to wonder

Till one fine day, they could bear no longer
They decided to give up and ceased to ponder

They tried to make merry and mingle with the crowd
Would never be alone again, both had vowed

But time and again they met with despair
And in their hearts they knew this was unfair

They'd come together to learn about this world
And when they remembered that, hope unfurled

They decided to wait as long as it takes
Wouldn't want to put up with any more fakes

Their patience, one day, finally paid off
They looked at others and couldn't help but scoff

'Cause of the millions of faces they saw everyday
Not one was theirs, they could make out today

What happened suddenly, you are bound to ask
Well, they just learned, how to rip off the mask

And once the mask is thrown off, alright
Your true self appears as clear as daylight

They saw each other in this light
Though miles away, far out of sight

Whether they meet or not, is rather insignificant
When they bask in the glory of love, so magnificent

Why does this happen to me?

Why do I think I know everything so well
When I cannot explain, can't even tell

Why do some things seem to me so obvious
When others find them so great and serious

Why do I have this unending thirst for knowledge
That makes people think I'm living on the edge

What is it that hold so dear
That I'd dare to achieve it
No matter how fierce the battle
No matter how great the fear

I have this quest for excellence in all that I do
However trivial the task, or however difficult too

Expressing my thoughts seems to me impossible
Yet, the words flow from a source, calm and inaudible

The truth, I know, is unstoppable
Yet, at times, it seems unfathomable

The light of wisdom trapped inside me
Is waiting to be set free

Yet, it is me who guards my own prison
An unlimited self, caged in limitation

To break free and enlighten the surrounding
I'm about to begin and my heart is pounding

Dear Wookie

In the darkness, as I travelled
A beam of light, I saw, and marvelled

Grew brighter, as I drew closer
It's warmth, as if from fire

I went on till I was underneath
The light engulfed me in its sheath

The rays poured on me all their glory
From a sky, dazzling and starry

I saw an angel beside a boy
Who seemed very lonely, and so very shy

On seeing me, the angel whispered to him
And his shyness faded into a grin

The lonely look deserted his face
And he walked towards me at a quick pace

"Who are you?" I asked, a bit dazed
"It's just me," he said, simply unfazed

That was you, little Wookie
And you say, you find it spooky?!

For us, this is a pleasant surprise
Now, we'll learn together and grow wise

It'll be long before we actually meet
But knowing you is really sweet

The confirmation of your existence
Has restored my persistence

I will stay with you, no matter what
Whether hailstorm, avalanche, or draught

We'll struggle together with all our might
And never let each other get out of sight

Someday, somewhere, we'll attain bliss
In a tender, loving, everlasting kiss

Baatein (I)

Shaayad hi koi baat hai, jo tumse keh na pau
Jo ankahi bhi tum sun lete ho, tumhe aur kya batau

Shaayad hi koi baat hai, jo tumhaari sun na pau
Par sunne ke liye sochti hoon, na jaane kab mil pau

Samajh to rahi hoon, jo tum kehte aaye ho
Jaanni to wo baatein hain, jo aaj tak keh na paye ho

Baate jo tum kar lete ho, shaayad main nahi kar paati
Par main wo samajh leti hoo, jo tum samjha nahi paate

Tumhe dekha to nahi hai, par itna janna kaafi hai
Sadiyon se milte aaye hain, is baar milna baaki hai

My green-haired doll

I can't understand what's happening tonight
Words are flowing with all their might

A moment back I was feeling so sleepy
And now I'm wide awake; oh, that's creepy!

All I wanted was to be snoozing
But lo! I ended up writing!?

Well, that's quite a weird situation
Like eating a cake to resist the temptation!!

Now, that reminds me of my dearest doll
Who's got a tuft of green hair, standing tall

She has black beads for eyes
And a nose similar to mice

And though she's all so funny-looking
Why do I like her, you might be wondering

It's her smile, in the first place
Though, it's the only expression on her face

She greets me with arms open wide
And she's always been there by my side

She stares at me mutely, when I drop a little tear
As if to say, "Let go, and give a loud cheer!"

She's taught me how to be a good friend
When to stand erect, and when to bend

With the same plastic face, and a smile that's fake
She can give you attitude, and as well accept a mistake

She doesn't have a life of her own
But, she's made mine better, ever since I've known

Living without you

Meeting you, was like my dream come true
But living with you, was a nightmare too

Ill memories, are all that I'm left with
Can't believe, love could be such a myth

To me, you were all that mattered
But thanks to you, my heart lies shattered

How could we have lived together
If you always found your freedom better?

I might have been wrong, I do accept
But there were no secrets from you I kept

Wanted to build a good future for us
I never thought it would end up thus

I wanted to make you smile
But now you've put me into exile

It pains so deeply to see you go
But what could I ever do of your ego?

You wish to see me happy, but how can that be?
When me soul itself is not with me

It's difficult, without you here
But I'll keep breathing, for sure

If this makes you happy, then so be it
Don't remember me, not even one bit

I'll still wish you all the good
Although, with me you've been so rude

May God look upon you all the while
So that your happiness can bring back my smile

Hum intezar karenge

Din jo dhale, to aap humse mile
Har din yehi hain chahte
Par haath aati hain sirf tanhai
Har shaam dhalte-dhalte

Yoon to miltein hain kitne hi saathi
Unhe nahi hum ginte
Humsafar banayenge aap hi ko
Har rah chalte-chalte

Kehtein hain, zindagi adhoori hai
Bina kisi dilbar ke
Jee lenge hum, akele hi sahi
Agar aap nahi mile

Dil ka bojh utaarna chaahein
Kisi ke saath gum baantke
Par dab jaati hai baat, har baar
Hothon pe aate-aate

Dard jab hadh se gujar jaaye
To aankhon se chhalakta hai
Phir tham jaatein hain apne-aap
Yeh aansoo behte-behte

Palkein sookh jaatin hain
Man soona ho jaata hain
Phir chupke-se jubaan par
Aap hi ka naam aata hai

Dil toot gaya hai, phir bhi
Ummeed to baaki hai
Aapko paane ki aas laati hai
Har saans aate-aate

Galati huie hai humse bhi
Warna aap humse na roothte
Iska hua hai aaj ehsaas
Woh lamhein yaad karte-karte

Duniya ko bhula dein
Chahe khud ko bhool jaaein
Aap dil mein rahenge magar
Har pal, sote-jaagte

Aap kab honge meherbaan humpe
Yeh to hum nahi jaante
Par hum yoonhi karenge intezar aapka
Har roj chupke-chupke

If only you knew

Often heard you complain, you say I'm so insane
But if only you knew, that I'm crazy for you

Further doubts you create, you say I don't appreciate
But if only you knew, oh! how I adore you

You think emotions are hollow and sentiments are shallow
But if only you knew, the way I feel for you

You've seen some crave for money and others for fame
But if only you knew, all I care for in life, is you

You wonder why they say, "life does have a purpose"
But if only you knew, that I exist for you

You say you won't trust, coz God is so unjust
But if only you knew, God made me for you

Do I think of you, every moment you think of me?
You'd know that too
If only you knew, my heart beats for you

You might ask yourself at times, "Why do I love her?"
I could answer that for you
If only there were words to express
What it means for me to love you

Tum

Kaliyaan jo kabhi khilti hain
Khushboo bankar tum mehekte ho
Subah ki pehli kiran ke saath
Chidiyaa bankar chehekte ho

Saavan ki jab main chaahat karu
Baadal bankar tum garajte ho
Sadiyon se pyase is man mein
Boondein bankar tum baraste ho

Samandar kinaare jab main chalu
Leher bankar tum bikharte ho
Saahil ki ore jab main dekhu
Kasti bankar tum gujarte ho

Andheron ki gehraai mein
Chaand bankar tum chamakte ho
Raat ki is purvaai mein
Nashaa bankar tum behekte ho

Mere jism ki har rag mein
Lahoo bankar tum behte ho
Mere dil mein yun hi har pal
Khayal bankar tum baste ho

Mera Humsafar

Registaan ki tanhaai se gujar rahi thi jab
Tum aaye baadalon ki mehfil saath lekar

Tapti hui dhoop mein jhulas rahi thi jab
Raahat pahunchai tumne baarish ki bauchhaar bankar

Ret ka har daana mujhe chubh raha tha jab
Tumhaare pyaar ki har boond sehlaa gayi marham bankar

Kaanton bhari raahon pe mujhe chalna padaa jab
Aasaan banaaya safar tumne phool bichaakar

Khatre ki aahat se main dar gayi jab
Haunsla badhaaya tumne hameshaa saath nibhaakar

Pareshaaniyon se haar ke main rone lagi jab
Muskaan lautaayi hothon pe tumne ummeedein jagaakar

Meri duniya mein na koi rang the, na koi khushboo thi jab
Jindagi mehkaayi tumne hazaaron rang bikhraakar

Saare jahaan pe chhaaya tha soonepan ka kohraa jab
Is qaaynaat ko haseen banaaya tumne, mera humsafar bankar

Soul Search

It's been years since I am doing this
But still seems like
I've just dusted the covers
I've a long way to go
In the direction of my soul search

Being a day-dreamer to the core
The bat of an eyelid
And I'm into this trance
Gazing at the way to go
In the direction of my soul search

The covers are peeled slowly
To reveal a tunnel
Deep, dark and mysterious
Leading to the way to go
In the direction of my soul search

As I step in there
A fear grapples my mind
Rendering me helpless
And I lose the way to go
In the direction of my soul search

Then something strange happens
A flame ignites from within
Killing the darkness
And lighting the way to go
In the direction of my soul search

As the end of the tunnel nears
The flame dies out
Giving way to the outer brightness
Showing a new way to go
In the direction of my soul search

Well, this one's a highway
Seashore lining one side
Mountain ranges lining the other
An exciting way to go
In the direction of my soul search

Now the big question arises
Mountains, or the seas?
Which path do I tread
Which way do I go
In the direction of my soul search

I turn to the ranges
Amazed by their grandeur
The snow-covered tops beckon me
I climb up the way to go
In the direction of my soul search

But soon I begin to wonder
Is it worth the effort?
And what if I make a blunder?
I turn back from the way to go
In the direction of my soul search

The tide then lowers
The current pulls me deeper
It terrifies me so much
I turn back to the way to go
In the direction of my soul search

I now find the highway better
But it doesn't last for long
The road splits into many lanes
It's a confusing way to go
In the direction of my soul search

One road leads to the desert
Another into the forest
And yet another leads to the town
Can't decide on which way to go
In the direction of my soul search

There's not a soul in sight
No one to guide me through
I feel lost & lonely
Stranded on the way to go
In the direction of my soul search

A sudden jolt wakes me up
Zaps me out of the trance
The daylight has dimmed into dusk
Another day wasted on the way to go
In the direction of my soul search

I realize I'm going nowhere
Dreams take me no further
I need to take a step in this real world
The only correct way to go
In the direction of my soul search

Kahani

Saalon pehle ki hain haqeekat
Ek ladki ki, jo thi jaraa-si nat-khat

Duniya se thi woh bekhabar
Masoom-si thi uski nazar

Meethe sapnon mein khoie rehti thi
Hothon pe pyaari-si muskaan rehti thi

Kuch ajeeb-si thi uski aadatein
Karti rehti thi bachkaani harkatein

Ek din ho gayi kuch aisi qayaamat
Sun li usne kisi anjaane ki aahat

Palatkar jab woh dhoodhne lagi
To apne peeche ek parchhaie mili

Nazar uthaakar jo usne dekha
Aankhen uski kha gayi dhoka

Saamne khada tha uska deewana
Jise samajh baithi woh begaana

Aadat se majboor woh ladki
Phir se ek nayi sharaarat kar baithi

Deewane ko bha gayi uski adaayen
Kaisa ye jaadu hum kya bataayen

Ab jaadu to har taraf hota hain
Kaun jaane dil kaise khota hain

Ladki jo deewane se milne lagi
Usike khayaalon mein khone lagi

Uski gali se gujarne lagi
Usike liye ab savarne lagi

Dheere-dheere dono mein pyaar ho gaya
Mile bina jeena dushvaar ho gaya

Ishaar ki thi dono ko chaahat
par inkaar ki thi dono ko dahshat

Ek din ye majboori sahi na gayi
Dono ki jubaan se baat chalak gayi

Tab wahi jaadu phir kar gaya asar
Dono ko mil gayi manzil ki dagar

Unki duniya ko yun abaad karke
Mohabbat chal padi apna paigaam deke

There's something about you

There's something abouit you, that drives me crazy
Can you tell me, what makes me dizzy?
I dream of you all day
"Don't wake me up", is all I say

There's something about you, that leaves me spellbound
But what it is, I still haven't found
Your every move entices
You're a bundle of surprises

There's something about you, that makes you special
Maybe its your charm, that seems so natural
You have these unique attributes
That separate you from the multitudes

There's something about you, very conspicuous
Your smile, thats really contagious
Just thinking of you, gets me excited
A meeting with you leaves me delighted

There's something about you, I always tend to wonder
How did gain, all this splendour
Are you only adorable?
Or at times, even vulnerable?

There's something about you, I always want to know
But I guess, you'll never ever show
Whenever we are together, you never seem to be cozy
Is it something about me, that drives you crazy?

Barish ki har boond

Dilon mein armaan jagaati hain
Mausam to rangeen banaati hain
Barish ki har boond
Bas, jaadu kar jaati hain

Toote rishton ki yaad dilaati hain
Sookhe palkon mein aasu laati hain
Barish ki har boond
Qayamat bhi dhaati hain

Aasmaan se koi paigaam laati hain
Dharti ke kaanon mein kah jaati hain
Barish ki har boond
Dharti aur aasmaan ko milati hain

Murjhaaye paudhon mein jaan laati hain
Sooke hothon pe muskaan laati hain
Barish ki har boond
Humen bhi kuch sikhaati hain

Nadiyon mein baadh laati hain
Sabkuch bahaa le jaati hain
Barish ki har boond
Kisiki duniya bhi ujaadti hain

Kabhi kaaton-si chubhti hain
Kabhi halke-se chhu jaati hain
Barish ki har boond
Kai adaayen dikhaati hain

Chidiyon-si chahekti hain
Choodiyon-si khanakti hain
Barish ki har boond
Sureela geet gaati hain

Patthar pe gire to tootkar bikharti hain
Patte pe mile to aaina ban jaati hain
Barish ki har boond
Sheeshe ki saheli hoti hain

Kaliyon par suhaati hain
Mitti ko mahekaati hain
Barish ki har boond
Aisi niraali hoti hain

Samandar kinaare woh ladki

Samandar kinaare khadi ek ladki
Leheron mein apne kadam bhigoti
Gumsum-si hain nazar, hothon mein koi baat hain dabi
Sadiyon se chupchaap khadi, kisi anjaane ki raah takti

Ujaalon mein kabhi nazar nahin aati
Par shaam ko woh tasveer saaf hain jhalakti
Duniya se hain woh bekhabar, Seene mein koi raaz dafnaati
Kuch aisi hain hasti uski, kisi afsaane ka jaise kirdaar hain lagti

Har shaam, raat mein kho jaati hain
Phir wohi ladki dulhan ban jaati hain
Tab door kahin saahil par, ek aur tasveer hain ubharti
Dekhte-hi-dekhte, ek dulhe mein hain tabdeel hoti

Chaand phir thandi roshi phailaata hain
Aur sitaare baraati ban jaate hain
Sunke apne dulhe ki aahat, woh dulhan kuch hain sharmaati
Dari-sehmi-si woh ladki, hayaa ki moorat hain ban jaati

Dulhaa phir badhtaa hain kinaare ki aur
Baandhne dulhan se apne jeevan ki dor
Phir daaman mein samete, raat ke un sitaaron ki roshni
Apni duniya mein lautne, saahil ki aur woh parchhaiyaan hain badhti

Ye nazaara har raat mein dikhaai padtaa hain
Har savera ise dundhlaa kar jaata hain
Har shaam ko shamaa-si roshan hoti woh ladki
Har subah na jaane kis viraane mein gum ho jaati

Mohabbat kudrat hain

Maa jo bacchon se karti hain, Mehbooba jo aashiq se karti hain
- Mohabbat hain
Gaayak jo suron se karta hain, Chitrakaar jo rangon se karta hain
- Mohabbat hain
Pancchi jo aasmaan se karte hain, Machliyaan jo paani se kartin hain
- Mohabbat hain
Bhanwre jo kaliyon se karte hain, Belen jo pedon se karti hain
- Mohabbat hain

Mohabbat insaanon mein hain
Mohabbat jaanwaron mein hain
Mohabbat ped-paudhon mein hain

Kahan se paida hua ye jasbaa?
Kya mohabbat sikhayi jaati hain?

Os ki boondein jo pattiyon se karti hain
Kya woh mohabbat nahin hain?

Bijli jo ghane baadalon se karti hain
Kya woh mohabbat nahin hain?

Aap chaahe to in sab ko nazarandaaz karen
Par, Kuhda jo apne bandon se karta hai
Woh bhi to mohabbat hain

Aap hi se hain duniya hamaari

Kuch the gile shikve, Kuch thi galatfehmiyaan
Bane the kuch faasle, Mili hamen tanhaaiyan

Utaare na utarta tha, Dil mein jo tha zaher bharaa
Chaaha tha sulah karna, Par jubaan se alfaaz na nikalta tha

Kuch din kya beete tanhai mein, Hum to deewane ho gaye
Zaher ke jharne na jaane kaise, Mohabbat ke samandar ban gaye

Yeh mohabbat kya cheez hain, Kaun jaan paya hain
Kuch log isse anjaan, To kuch log hairan hain

Hum kitna samajh paye hain, Kehna aasan na hoga
Is jasbaat ko lafjon mein qaid kare jo, Mua beimaan woh hoga

Khair, gairon se hamen kya, Hum to aap me bastein hain
Aapki muskuraahat ko yaad karke, Aqsar tanhai mein hanste hain

Khayaalon mein jo kabhi, Aap humein nihaarte hain
Haqeekat mein na jaane kyon, Palak hum jhukaate hain

Kuch is tarah chaaya, Aapke mohabbat ka suroor
Seekh liya humne, Karna khud pe guroor

Suraj ki kirne, Har subah yun jhalakti hain
Mano aapki muskaan, Humare hothon se chalakti hain

Chaand ki halki roshni, Jab raaton ko chamkaati hain
Aapke mohabbat ki khushboo, Hamare tan ko mehkaati hain

Bas ab itni khwaish hain, Aapka haath thaame kuch der chale
Sar pe khula aasmaan ho, Pairon tale ho samandar ki ret

Sadiyaan gujar jayen, Par khatm na raahen ho
Koi juda na kar paye, Aisa hamara saath ho

Ummeed hain ab aap, Humare jusbaaton se waqif hain
Par hum jaante hain, jaankar bhi anjaan banna, aapki aadat hain

Bas itnisi hain kahani humari
Ab to aap hi se hain duniya humari

My same old self again

Once upon a time, I was a chirpy little girl
Once upon a time, with the wind I used to swirl
I had no worries & no hurries
Need not mention, I had not tension
I was a carefree girl, and was treated like a pearl

As time passed by, it made me fly
As time passed by, it took me high
I got my wings, forgot the swings
On could number seven up there in heaven
I found a course to ply, when I met my sweety-pie

As my world changed, I learnt a new thing
As my world changed, so did my being
It felt so nice, but to my surprise
There were ups & down, I took leaps & bounds
To reach there up above, and find out what is love

Now that I'm here, I haven't got a fear
Now that I'm here, I always want you near
To reach this place, and see you face
I suffered a lot of pain
These wounds you'll heal, and make me feel
My same old self again...

You're my inspiration

You're my goal, you're my soul
You're the only thing I want
You're my buddy, you're my teddy
You're the best thing I flaunt

You're my joy, not just a boy
With whom I could flirt
You're my life, wanna be your wife
I never could see you hurt

All my feelings, all about me
You say you wanna know
I tried all things, and believe me
It's difficult to show

Not that I'm scared, but just can't dare
To open my self to you
I'm a bit shy, I don't know why
Though I've spent years with you

One things for sure, I always want you near
'Coz you drive away my fear and always make me cheer

Your love makes me fly
In your arms I wanna die
'Coz "you're my inspiration
and my final destination..."

As we part

As you get ready to go
Tears are bound to flow
You ask me not to show
But I can't do it, you know

Well, thats was past
The shadow of time is cast
Seems like, we've grown up so fast
Bitter things, never last

Now, as you go away
I have a few things to say
I won't keep crying all day
'Coz in my heart, you'll stay

You ask me to keep busy
And not to become lazy
You say things aren't easy
Ou future still looks hazy

This time, I promise you
Everything I will do
I know, the years are few
But I see opportunities in a queue

I'll make use of them
Treat each one like a gem
To make the picture clear
Of our future, my dear

We both, now need to strive
Into darkness, take a dive
To make a bright little hive
And not just survive, but thrive

So let us now part
Of course, not by heart
Let our efforts together nurture
A calm and beautiful future

Fear (I)

I remember the day we first met
You had fear in your eyes
Fear of being rejected, of not being loved

I remember the weeks that followed
You had admiration in your eyes
Admiration for me, the one you loved

I remember the months that went by
You had desire in your eyes
Desire to love me and also be loved

I remember the years that passed by
You had faith in your eyes
Faith in me, in the love we shared

Looking back into the past
I realise, the years flew by so fast

It was like a dream
Seen with eyes wide open
And then I blinked...

Now I hardly get to see you
Forget about hearing from you

It's my turn now
Can't you see the fear in my eyes
Fear of being neglected, of not being loved?

I try to run away from it
But the fear blinds me
Fear of being ignored, of being lonely...

It eclipses my existence
And I keep groping in the dark
Trying to find myself...

Someone so cute

Once in a lifetime, you come across someone so cute
He makes a room in your heart unknowingly
Someone who occupies your mind all the time
And you don't know why

Once in a lifetime, you meet someone so cute
Before you know whats happening
You've lost your heart to him
Someone whose smile spreads to your lips
And you don't know why

Once in a lifetime, you like someone so cute
You risk anything just to get a glimpse of him
Someone whom you can't do without
And you don't know why

Once in a lifetime you love someone so cute
You break all barriers, you care only for him
Someone whom you trust blindly
And you don't know why

Once in a lifetime you feel so cute
Because of that Someone
And you keep wondering, WHY?

I wanna be with you

With the first ray of daylight
That peeks through the window
A feeling in my heart wakes up
I look around, trying to find you
But all I get is emptiness, without you
The start of a day - I wanna be with you

With every new morning
That paints a rainbow
It feels fresh and good enough
The world looks bright and colourful too
But all this is meaningless, without you
All through the morning - I wanna be with you

With the blazing sun
And the scorching heat
The day drags on, for people around
For me it could be happy and cheerful too
But only if I get to be with you
All through the day - I wanna be with you

With the setting sun
And the growing chill
People move around, having fun
I find myself among lots of friends
But feel lonely in the crowd, without you
Every beautiful evening - I wanna be with you

With the wonderful moon
In the starlit sky
The world seems to be resting in peace
My heart, however, is restless
But its just the passion, I feel for you
As the day ends - I wanna be with you

Every morning, all day
Every evening, all night
I have only you on my mind
Now all the way
All through my life
I wanna be with you all the time

I want you to be mine - forever

The look in your eyes, melts me like ice
The words you say, take me up astray
And so, my dear, I want you to be mine - forever

When you're not around, I feel left-out and lonely
But with you around, The feeling is 'just lovely'!
And so, my dear, I want you to be mine - forever

Your make me feel loved, With the crazy things you do
And I don't mind being alone, As long as I'm with you
And so, my dear, I want you to be mine, forever

To God I pray, and say "Please,"
"This love we share, should never cease"
And when God says "Yes, dear..."
I know you will be mine - FOREVER

Is that what you call Love?

When I'm feeling down, You're never around
When I need comfort, You just make me feel hurt
Is that what you call Love?

Years ago, when I gave you my heart
From this whole wide world, I set you apart
But for you, I was never just-the-one
With friends and family, you had a lot more fun
Is that what you call Love?

The moment you called me
I'd be there to quench you thirst
But you never had time for me
Other things always came first
Is that what you call Love?

Well, I know, you're just too sweet
And you can make friends, with whoever you meet
But does that mean
I am nowhere in the scene?
Is that what you call Love?

Tell me now
Just let me know
Is that what you call Love?

A smile of yours

A smile of yours, brought us close
A smile of yours, made us friends
A smile of yours, changed my life
A smile of yours, made me fall for you
A smile of yours, taught me a thing or two
It taught me to bear my sorrows bravely
It taught me to spread happiness around me
It taught me to keep my sorrows to myself
Not letting them trouble anyone else
I thank you for that smile of yours
I wish I could see that smile of yours
As long as I live

Ever since I met you

Ever since I met you
I see only you
And there's noone else in sight

Ever since I met you
I wanna be with you
From dawn to dusk, every day and night

Ever since I met you
I'm into a realtionship
Friendship and love, alike

Ever since I met you
There's a dream I cherish
We'll be together, dead or alive

Ever since I met you
I've had this feeling
That I'm your's and you are mine

Love keeps me going

On a lonely night like this
I can feel the sadness creeping over me
At any such time
I always wish I could die
But then someone inside me says
"No, you've got to live on!
'Coz there's one more ray of light
Coming from a brighter world, far away"
And it means there's my share of success & joy too
Which I've got to catch up to...
There'll surely be a time when the one I love will be at my side
He'll fulfill all my wishes
He'll love me with all his heart
And he'll be sure I'll do the same
But there's still a long way to go
Before my dream comes true
And there are lots of troubles on the way, I know
Yet, there's this one thing which keeps leading me on
And that's nothing else but LOVE

I'll be missing you

Don't go away honey, I'm telling you
You believe it or you don't, I'll be missing you

The saddest moments of my life
Are the moments when I'm alone
The loneliest times of my life
Are the times when you leave me alone
'Coz when you're next to me
I feel that the world is with me
And that's why I am saying
Darling, whether you believe it or you don't
I'll be missing you

When we'll be apart
I'll surely do my part
Of remembering those days
When we were face to face
But then I'll be alone
Sharing our memories with myself
And that's why I am saying
Darling, whether you believe it or you don't
I'll be missing you

That's all I'll say sweetheart
For you ought to know by now
That I'll be missing you

Promise you love

Promise you love, I won't ditch you
Gimme a chance, I wanna show you
How much I love you

Swear to you love, I won't forget you
Although far from you, My heart's with you
And just loving you

Wish you were here, And I next to you
We'd be singing away, Like two Lovebirds
In the valley of love

Won't you be comin', And takin, me along
To the paradise of love, In your warm embrace
Saying you too love me

That's the life, I long for
That's the way, I wanna live
In the paradise of love, Along with you

I love you
I love you
I love you
