Hang on!

You have to reach out

Yeah, you have to

Sometimes to help

Sometimes to seek

The simplest of the things

The not so obvious signs

That subtle cry for help

That everything in nothingness

And that presence of nothing in everything

The deafening silence

That feeling that weighs you down

But look around

Catch the signs, decipher the signals

Square the circles

Don't wait till you cross all the boxes

But reach out

Few around are just hanging 

Hanging by single thread

Hanging for long

Long, long

And then no more..

Doesn't help!

It's not a phase

It doesn't go away

You can't jerk it off

And move on with no trace

You can't just sleep it off

And wake up fresh

The hollowness doesn't just go away

Your, 'others have seen worse'

Be strong, 

With time everything gets alright'

Doesn't help

DOESN'T

HELP

When there's an abyss pulling you in

When your insides sink

With no trace of harbour nearby

Your superficial concern doesn't help

Your be strong, doesn't help

Listen out to us

Comfort us 

Make us know we aren't going insane

Tell us that to be human is to feel

And few humans are blessed to feel with their every inch

Don't show a rosy picture of tomorrow

Take our hand now

And say that 

If it's only today that we got

Whatever it is

We are in this together..

Sitaare

आसमां सितारों से भरा

और तू सर झुकाए चला...

Khidki tale..

Nahi pata tha ki Chandni bhi apni raah bhatak jayegi,

Aur kisi din bhool kar meri khidki se mere kamre tak aajayegi

Halki si, madham

Chandni aur hum

Neend bhi iss aankhon mei kam

Us par woh chandni aur shabnam

Lagta hai ab us chand ko bhi,

hamse pyar hone laga

Ek tarafa pyaar , 

ab ye do tarfa hone laga

Pata hota agar 

ki tum subah 4 baje meri khidki par aate ho

Saare sapno ko hum bhaga detey, 

tumse milne ke baad hi neend ko apna pata detey..

Kitni raatayei tum aaye ho bin batayei,

Aur chal diye mujshe bina muh milaye

Roj milenge ab hum, issi samay wahi ghadi

Ye duniya hogi waise bhi neend mei doobi

 

Aaj bhi milna usi khidki tale,

Apni chadni se mujhe apne baho mei liye..

Intezaar rahega,

Ab bas intezaar hi rahega..

Milenge kabhi..

Milungi kabhi tum se toh ye puchungi..

Ki itne taare hai aasman mei,

Phir bhi chand akela kyun hai?

Ki itni nadiyaan pani se bhari padi,

Phir bhi registan mei koi pyaas se marta kyu hai ?

Makaan bade aur dil chote kyun yaha

Uske dil ka kya jo bhooke pet aur nanga sadak par sota yaha

Kyu aaj bhi hamari samajh choti hai

Aaj bhi rang, jaat aur dharm ki bedi hai

Nafrat hum khule aam jaata te kyu yaha?

Aur pyar kyu darr darr ke karte hum hai?

Kyu har koi naam banane ki piche pagal yaha

Uski seerat kaisi hai kya kisni ne jaana yaha

Kyu mandir, masjid, gurduware mei hi sarr jhukte

Wahi sarr kyu dharm ke naam par kat te

Kyu aaj bhi parivaar hai sirf aurat ki zimmedari

Jab woh ghar ke aadmi se bhi ho jyada paisa kamati

Milungi kabhi tumse toh ye puchungi..

Ki kyu meri hasi kabhi namak jaisi lagti,

Kyu kabhi lagta hai iss dil mei hai koi gehri si khayi

Kyu log surat par marte yaha

Phir wahi surat par hakk na milne par usse mitate yaha

Milungi kabhi tum se toh ye puchungi..

Ki kya pyaar karna koi fareeb hai?

Koi chaal hai ya kismat ka khel hai

Apna milna kya naseeb tha?

Aur bichadna kya uni naseeb wali hath ki lakeeron ka mitna tha?

Milungi kabhi tumse toh ye puchungi..

Ki kya mujhse milna ka pachtava tume hai?

Kya mera hona aur na hona bhi ek hai?

Milungi kabhi tumse toh ye puchungi..

Kabhi toh miloge, 

Hakeekat nahi, 

toh sapno mei hi sahi..

Akelepan

Akelepan ki aadat si ho chali hai ab hame,

Koi saath ho ya na ho, nahi farak padta ab hame..

Waise kaha koi yaha saath nibhata hai,

Beech raah haath chod kar har koi chala jaata hai..

Khamoshi se hi hum batein karte hai abhi,

Hamara haal sun woh bhi khamosh ho jaati hai abhi..

Kisi ne hamare wajood ko inkaar kiya,

Aur kisi ne hamare dard ko nakar diya..

Ab aur kisi se kya umeed rakhe,

Agar rakhe bhi toh kyu rakhe..

Akelepan ab bhaanta hame,

Saath khud hi ka raas aata hame..

Shayad..

Koi mujhse acha likhta yaha

Koi mujhse acha dikhta yaha

Koi mujhse acha sajta yaha

Koi mujhse acha sochta yaha

Koi behtar hai

Koi jyada kamiyab

Koi jyada samajhdar

Koi jyada hoshiyaar

Jitni main hu kya koi aur bhi utna hi main yahi?

Main hoon,

Jaisi bhi hoon..

Apno ke liye apni si,

Anjano ke liye anjani si..

Khayalo mei doobi

Gaano mei khoyi

Chand se baatein karti,

Raaton ko din mei dhalte dekhti..

Pyar se pyar karti,

Phir wahi pyar se dur bhaagti..

Apni dil ki hamesha sunti,

Aur kabhi ansuna kar apne aap se hi lad jaati..

Thodi beparwaah

Thodi masoom

Thodi pagal

Thodi laparwah

Thodi gumsum

Thodi khoobsurat

Thodi chalak

Thodi nalayak

Thodi bholi

Thodi sharmili

Thodi samajhdaar

Thodi anokhi

Thodi tum jaisi 

Thodi unn jaisi

Thodi akeli si

Apni hi duniya mai khoyi si..

Jaisi bhi hoon

Main mai hoon

Mujh jaisa shayad koi aur nahi...
