Hope

I started on the notion that the world is full of pretentious people
Like a flower blossoming from the outside, but with a corrupt sepal
But even I hadn't imagined, that the journey would be full of hitches
Travelling to see the riches, but ended up in the ditches...

Not that it bothered me, oh no, not at all
For my expectations had since long, already started to fall
But even then, when the vivid reality struck me, I can't quite re-call
For those were the moments, when my life simply appeared to stall.

I know my expressions, may seem a little obscure
But, such are my findings, that I really don't see a cure
For it takes one to bring, the reality back ashore
But it takes two to cleanse it...so that its white, shiny and pure

But alas, we are all the same, looking for the easy way
The sun is shining in our face, yet we are looking for the light and ray
And so, oh dear god, today I can only wish and pray
That one day, all will realize that like water is to bay,
Our shelter is in the form of hope...if only we want it to stay...

Sifar

Aap ki umeedon par, hum khare na utre
Duniya ki is bheed main, phir se kahin hum bichre
Ab to khuda tere haathon main hai, meri zindagi ki majdhar
Roshni hai tu, aur andhere main hai yeh sansaar.

Dil main hai bas tera vishwaas, ab nahi hai mera koi mazhab
Ek pal ka milan ho usse, bas meri hai ab itni si talab
Mujhe hai e-rab tera vaasta, bejhijak mar jaaoonga us par
Maut main bhi hoga tera aashiyana, haath jo rakh de tu hum par

Zindagi yeh teri khatir kar doon main ab to qurbaan
Sooli par bhi chad jaoon khushi se, dil hua hai tujh par parwaan
Meri chahat ki diwangi, tujh par hui hai yun bekadar
Ki tujh bin yeh kuch nahi, meri zindagi main hai sifar.

Life's Jury

Another day's just passed, yet you are no where in sight
But I'm still waiting even if chances don't look bright
Just to be with you, I'll put through all my might
And then maybe you'll realize that love isn't about wrong or right

I remember you told me that our destinies aren't the same
And so I duly ask you, do you believe in fame?
Because that's what you are for me, and this isn't any game
I only live for you, and from you, comes my name...

Please never say to me, that you've had enough
Because life for me, without you, won't even be just tough
You can say that i'll live, altho it will be rough
But I hate to disagree, you will only see me going buff...

With all due honesty, I'm still unsure of my feeling
But ever since you've gone, my life's simply been reeling
Almost as if my life, from me, some1's been stealing
Yet I live on, while my feelings for u continue peeling

And so, today when I finally think I know, I ask you
Is it too late, or do we still have a chance to make it through?
Because now I know that without you, life shall only serve me fury
And so please tell me what you think, while I'm waiting on life's jury

Wafa

Ghamon main bichchi thi meri zindagi ki kahaani
Phir aaye tum, sunane isse chahat ki zubaani
Ishq hua humein...ban gayi tu diwani
Aisa vaada kiya humne, ki maut bhi saath hai nibhaani

Par jab aaknhon par se dhund ke badal chate
Kuch hi palon main meri zindagi se tum hate
Phir to rab hi jaane, kaise hain yeh din kate
Gham din main, tanhayee raat main bate

Andheron main doobi hai meri yeh duniya
Jabse tumne looti hain, meri sab khushiyan
Ab to angaaron main chal kar main yun jeeta hoon
Duniya bhar ke aansoon, ghut ghut kar peeta hoon

Kya mujhe hai pyar, abhi tak iska ehsaas nahi
Par tum bin jee na sakoonga, iska hai aabhaas sahi
Ab to kuch aise gham-e-rooh ban gaye ho tum mere
Ki dekhoon na tumhein to, din main bhi ho jaate hai andhere

Haan meri saanson main ab bhi bas tumhari mehak hai
Sunta hoon jahaan, dekhta hoon jahaan...bas tumhari chahek hai
Sabab hai tumhara, ki maut bhi mujhse hai khafa
Aur isliye maangta hoon tumse mannat, bas de do mujhe apni wafa.

Yeh Chahat

Tumhari adaoon ko kya dekha, hua yeh dil deewana hai
Tumhari nigaahon ko kya parkha, hua yeh dil afsana hai
Tumhari saanson se hi to yeh zamaana mehka hai
Tumhare khwaabon se hi to tanha yeh jag ab rehta hai.

Kis kadar tumse humein hai chahat, iska humein ehsaas nahi
Kis kadar tumse milti hai raahat, kyun iska tumhein aabhaas nahi
Nazar utha kar jo tum dekh lo, khushiyan milein humein baar baar
Iska tumhein kaise karayein aetbaar, itni si humein aahat nahi.

Saanson mein tum rehte ho, rooh main ho samaaye
Zindagi main tum sama jaana, phir chahe maut bhi aa jaaye
Tanhayee ke is safar main, meri tum har tamanna ho
Is dil main kisi ki jagah nahi, jo khushiyon ko tum ho bhaaye

E khuda....kya yeh chahat tujhko maqbool hai?
Agar nahi, to kya meri maut tujhko kabool hai?
Is sansaar main uske bina main jee na sakoonga
Ghamon se kya...khushiyon se bhi main tadap uthoonga...

Dil Ki Chahat

Tanhaiyon main jeene ki aadat si ho gayi hai
Tumhare khayalon main khone si chahat si ho gayi hai
Mohabbat ka izhaar phir bhi tumse na kar sakoon
Bas ab itni si ghabrahat si ho gayi hai

Andheron main, ujalon main, bas tumhein dhoondta rehta hoon
Dil ki har dhadkan mein tumhein mehsoos karta rehta hoon
Meri zindagi ka tum ban gaye ho junoon
Par phir bhi tumhein iska izhaar kar na sakoon

Dekhta hoon jo tumhein, meri saansein ruk si jaati hain
Sun leta hoon tumhein to yeh zindagi tham si jaati hain
Sapno main bhi tumko apne paas ab mangoon main
Zindagi main zindagi, tumhare khwabon se aati hain.

In andhero main tum meri roshni ban gaye ho
Jism hai mera, rooh tum ban gaye ho
Tum bin, mere sapne bhi ab saare hai jaayenge so
Haan, is kadar tum is dil ki chahat ban gaye ho

God's Platter

It was another usual day,
When my thoughts were on our fray
When you left me forever to stay
And ever since, my life's been all dark and gray

You know very well, that I still miss you
If only I could show you what I have been through
To others, I still, may seem placid
But my eyes are stuck on that bottle of acid.

To wish you will return, would be too much to ask
Especially since, I'm still wearing the guilty mask
By keeping you away, god's giving me the lashes
Forcing me to die everyday, waiting for the ashes

I know that life's just a bullet away
While I, as always, continue to sway
But I'd rather die everyday, for the ones that matter
Than have my life served, in a god's platter...
