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
