Aaj ki Tanhai...

Aaj ki tanhai...aaj ka gham
Aaj ki raat...aaj ki haar
Aaj ke kisse...aaj ke raaste
Aaj ki yeh doobti shaam...
Na jaane kyun...kal ki yaad dilaaye
Jab jeet thi aaknhon mein
Aur khushi ka tha aalam
Meri zindagi ko churaya kisne
Kahan gaye woh haseen pal
Wapas kar do mere sunder sapne
Koi lauta do mera woh bachpan
Nahin rehna tanha...na jeena aise
Maut hogi na isse behtar

Day by Day...

Day be day, I learn to grow...to move away and let go...
Day by day, I see around and know...
I should have not loved you like I did...
I should have just been at peace with myself...
Now I seek closure after suffering for so long
And the same question stares on my way along
Is it even possible to forget the pain
That was all I had of you
I wish I could ever say again
I love you...I so do...

Then and Now

Then...
How many times I said 'I love you' and you looked away...
How many times I wanted to be with you and you did not stay...
How many times I asked for a hug and you pushed me away...
How many times I expected your sympathy and you didn't care...
How many times I thought you'd call me weak so I held my tears...
How many times you hurt me by saying love wasn't there...

Now...
I can live my life on my own; being alone is a blessing
I treasure my happiness and have my own dreams
If you ask me, I will never feel the same
I am over you and only you are to blame
You lost someone who loved you like mad
If you see, it's not all that bad
I have my goals and my future
All you have is...yourself

Feeling Sad...

As I cry softly into the

darkness of this night

Tears rolling down my cheeks

dreams drifting away from my eyes...

Darkness all around

destroying peace and beauty

Devouring emotions inside

leaving emptiness within...

I scream in my mind...

Is this what it means

to be at the bottom?

Is this how it feels

not to be loved by anyone?

Hold me, hug me tight

Love me, wipe my tears

Give me a reason to smile

I have been sorrowful for a while...

Time slipping by

horizon's far away

Waiting for the spark of light

to brighten my day...

तुम हो

खिङकी से झाँकते चाँद में तुम हो
तारों से खिले आसमान में तुम हो
फ़ूलों की खुशबुओं में तुम हो
दूर से दिखते पहाङों में तुम हो
पत्तों की सरसराहट में तुम हो
बादलों की गङगङाहट में तुम हो
खूबसूरत नज़ारों में तुम हो
महकती बहारों में तुम हो
हवा की मीठी छुअन में तुम हो
भँवरे की गुँजन में तुम हो
ओस की बूंदों में तुम हो
मेरी बेख़बर नींदों में तुम हो
सूरज की गर्मी में तुम हो
शाम की नर्मी में तुम हो
पवन के झोंके में तुम हो
पलकों के झरोखे में तुम हो
मेरे अधूरे ख्वाब में तुम हो
मेरी हर साँस में तुम हो
मेरी रग-रग, रोम-रोम में
तुम्हीं तुम हो, जानम बस तुम हो

Chalte Jayein...

(This is my first ever romantic poem; I wrote it when I was 15...and it's still fresh in my memory)

 Chalte jayein anjaani rahon mein
Jahan se laut na sakein kadam
Kho jayein aaj teri bahon mein
Aa bhool jayein duniya ko hum

Apni zindagi ke liye khwab bunein
Ek sunder pyara ghar banayein
Jis ghar mein kewal hum dono rahein
Aa hum aaj sabko bhool jayein

Yahan kyun aur kaise aaye hum
Kuch na humko yaad rahe
Aise komal sapne sajayein hum
Jinmein kewal pyar rahe

Behak jaane dein apne kadam
Pyar ke dariya mein beh jayein
Aa kuch aisa kar dalein hum
Phir kabhi juda na ho payein

Ek dooje mein hum samaa jayein 
Kuch aisa karo mere humdum
Aaye hain yahan toh yahin reh jayein
Tod ke jahan ke saare bandhan

Chalte jayein anjaani rahon mein
Jahan se laut na sakein kadam...

Alhadpan ka Pyar

Unki ek nazar ke liye ghanton ka intezaar
Unhe dekhne ke liye har pal dil bekaraar
Unhe pehchanna kadmon ki aahat se
Unki chhaya par bhi manna apna adhikar
Alhadpan ke pyar ka kya kehna...
Pyar ke us ke khumaar ka kya kehna...

Unse baat karne pe hothon ka kaanpna
Unke saamne aane se dil ka dhadakna
Subah se shaam tak unhe dekhne ko tarasna
Aur nazrein milte hi pher lena
Alhadpan ke pyar ka kya kehna...

Kabhi the jo paraaye
Unhi ko sabse kareeb maan liya
Sab ghum unke liye uthaye
Jinhe apna naseeb maan liya
Alhadpan ke pyar ka kya kehna...
Pyar ke us ke khumaar ka kya kehna...
