When I'm With You

If I only lived another moment, I'd spend it with you
If I died this very moment, I'd wanna be with you
You may never realize how much I truly love you
But my existence is only complete when I'm with you

People have a lot of ambitions in life
But my only wish is to have you in my arms
For that I'd happily die several times everyday
For happiness with you around surpasses eternity

People search for divinity all their lives
But I found purity, the day I met you
The essence of my life shines through your soul
And so now my mere living is to see you smile

If I had the strength, I'd learn everything about you
If I had the heart, I'd take your problems from you
You may never realize but I can't live without you
'Coz my life reaches salvation when I'm with you

Rooh-E-Ishq

Saanson main meri hai teri sargam
Yaadon mein meri bas tu hai hardam
Jitna hai pyar sab tujhko de doon
Jab ho jaaye phir se apna sangam

Tune kya jaadoo kiya, bhula na paoon tujhe
Adaayein yeh teri, deewana banaye mujhe
Phir aise mein kyun tanha mujhe chhod gayi
Kabhi laut aana aur bata dena wajah mujhe

Is zindagi ko jeene ki wajah ho tum
Ho mera jahan, yeh aasmaan ho tum
Dekhta hoon roz tumhein, par chuu na poon
Ki kya khafa maine, jo yeh saza ho tum

Ek ghar ho jismein hum tum rahein
Saath saath chale, dard sab sahein
Kyunki tum bin zindagi adhoori si lage
Kashish hai meri, kaise yeh tumse kahein

Meri chahat ka manzar ho tum
Mohabbat ka aftab ho tum
Sar zameen par chaaye ho meri
Rooh-e-ishq ka noor ho tum

Until I Met You...

I always thought life was meant to be lived alone
I always thought my pains were only my own
And so I lived with these feelings within my heart
Until I met you and I had a whole new start

Life to me was all about loneliness and pain
It had no happiness and there was nothing to gain
But then I met you and you took away my despair
Giving me your faith and showing how life can be fair

Lost in my own world, my thoughts were clouded
Left all alone, my feelings were shrouded
But then I met you and I could no longer conceal
Because you see right through me, you know how I feel

Anguish and fear were like my soul mates
Depression and sorrow were my only mind states
Agony and suffering were part of my fate
I had lost all hope while being consumed by hate...

Until I met you...

Your Smile

Part of me still wishes to meet you
Even though I know that we are through
Maybe its destiny that I'm lost in your soul
Disembarking my life, stuck in this muddy hole

Searching for happiness within this dark place
Battling against time, trying to win this race
I have to get to you, before its too late
Before my life gets consumed and is filled with hate

You are the only one who can free me from this pain
Withdrawing this anguish, letting go of this strain
Embracing your heart is the only melody that I seek
It will hold me together, not making me feel weak

Within the memories of us together, I remain confined
While strings that hold my life, continue to unbind
Flowers that blossom, shape up our profile
As I see sadness, hidden beneath your smile

Survive

Wishing upon a falling star
Always wondering where you are
Feeling that you miss me too
My life has turned all subdue

My soul is lacking your passion
Sensing a growing obsession
Your thoughts make me feel timid
I can still see your face vivid

Speculations arose that you are around
Within my heart, your voices resound
But my wishes continue to turn into ashes
My words reprise and haunt me as lashes

As days pass, I continue to wither
Remembering the days when I would dither
Seeing you soon is the wish upon which I thrive
And that is my life, upon which I survive

Memories

Memories infused with the smell of roses
Instigate your thoughts within my mind
Enclosed within my own little shell
I see them devour all that's left of me

It reminds me of a lot of things
Things that i try moving ahead of...
But they keep catching up to me
Bringing me back where it all began

The warmth of your love soothes my soul
The depth of my heart enveloped by your affection
Caressing me ever so softly and gently
Your tender care relieves me of this pain

Like the unwinding circle of mother nature
I'm haunted by what's already long gone
Despite the distances that exist between us
I continue living upon that tiny shred of hope

Reminiscence

Shadows beneath the clouds, tears within the rain
Memories of us together that have left me with a stain.
Ashes falling with wind, fear within this pain
Losing my conscience daily, even my death does refrain.

Stress within this darkness, anger within this flame
Despite my constant struggle, my feelings remain the same.
Fazing of the mist, irreverence of the sun
This world has left me, isolated and shun.

Insolence of the sky has slowed down my pace
Obscurity has me shut, within a tight space.
Earth seems to confine me daily as per its grace
Annihilating my senses, making me give up this race.

Heaven disproves my existence, hell divides my insistence
Conquering my motivation, plaguing my persistence.
When nature and its forces are close to my destruction
Reminiscence of those days is my only obstruction.

Wish

You came into my life as the only glimmer of hope
You showed me through your eyes, how easy life is to cope
The butterfly that points towards one's life's existence
Your crimson light shows the value of one's life through insistence

Your closeness to my soul brings a fresh aura into my life
Helping me survive my struggles, strive through my strife
You are the piece of gem that shines through your honesty
My very essence of life reflects within your modesty

Your importance to my survival is something I can't explain
Your support through these hardships is the only way I can sustain
Without you in my life, my life begins to shatter
As if my life and death, doesn't seem to matter

These barriers and limitations can be upheld if only you wanted
Our wants and wishes could come true if only you granted
My destination begins and ends whenever i see you
My only wish is to see us together and I hope it becomes true

Dasha

Aashiyaane ghum, teri yaad mein yeh dil tarasta hai
Kaanpte hain yeh kadam, jab bhi dekhte woh rasta hai
Jism-o-jaan main mere, teri rooh hai har jagah samaye hui
Har waqt kehti hai mujhse, kaash aa kar mujhe rulaye koi

Kashmakash hai meri, tumne kiya mujh par aitbaar kyun nahi
Agar chahat nahi thi, to phir iska izhaar kiya kyun nahi
Ab jab ho gaye hain hum ruswa, kya tumhe meri yaad aati hai?
Raaton ko sapno mein khwaab ban kar, kya yeh tumhe satati hai?

Mere ishq ka rutba, sarhade nahi pehchanta hai
Tumse hai mujhe pyar, bas yeh itna jaanta hai
Mere dil ke aashne main ab bhi tumhara nazariya hai
Chahe kitni hi mushkil phir yeh zindagi ki dagariya hai

Bebasi ka alam hai, tum bin jeeya na jaaye
Dekhoon jahan wahan dikhte hain tumhare saaye
Haan bas itna sa hai yeh meri mohabbat ka nasha
Maut se bhi badatar hai aisi zindagi ki dasha

Shades Of Blue

In the beautiful sky, among those 1000 shades of blue
I see a lucid, vivid picture that reminds me of only you
My dignity flows amongst your very essence of existence
My happiness - a relative term, depends on your loyal diligence

Meticulously sculptured, you are the talisman of divinity
When darkness falls, you are the light of my sanity
In this blind, faithless world, you are my realization of truth
Even after all these pains hurt, my only hope of soothe

Shimmering pearls fall through my eyes all the time
A treasure so worthless that its not even worth a dime
Yet they do contain all the good and bad memories we shared
All those times I lived and died when there was someone who cared

Everyday without you, I burn in a passive agony of fire
That slowly consumes me, flaring all I wish and desire
Yet till you are by my side, I shall continue to abide
For what happens with us, is something only you can decide

Suroor

Saaki o mere...teri yaadon main tarasta hoon
Andheri in raaton mein...toofano main barasta hoon
Saazish hai yeh koi...jo tum humein yun tod gaye
Tanhayee mein, aatish main, bilakhta chhod gaye

Lahoo ke aansoo ab hum peeye ja rahe hain
Tadapte tumhari yaadon main, hum jeeye ja rahe hain
Saanjh savere yahi dhoondte phirte hai
Ki zindagi ki majdhaar main, phir kab humare raaste milte hai

In baarish ke motiyon main apni yaadein hain chhupi
Dard bhare nagme mere, inke girne ki aahat main hain sabhi
Tumhare intezaar main yeh baadalon main hai chhupe tabhi
Haan isi ke intezaar main hain hum, ek din aayega aisa kabhi

Meri zindagi ki aaftaab hai tumhari yeh khoobsurati
Aaghosh main hai humein leni, tumse nikle jo roshni
Tumhari saadgi ka aks meri zindagi ka noor hai
Tumhare bina jo hai ye bechaini, shayad yehi mera suroor hai

The Real Me

Ever felt cold, in the warmest of weathers?
Ever felt dead, within a living soul?
I have, 'coz my life serves no purpose
For the real me has long since gone

Pieces of rust are smothering me into ashes
Devouring on my realization of what's left of me
Monotony has surrounded my wishful remains
Smoldering what's left to cleanse my existence

My past is all that I leave behind
As I disperse into particles of dust
Caricatures of what's gone surrounds the air
While sculptures engrave my unwritten script

Defiance is a feature I sorely miss
As I come to terms with the reality
Inscriptions of the world are all I can follow now
For the real me has long since gone

Sarzish

Khuda tere hi vaaste
Main jeeye ja raha hoon
Diye hain jo tune woh raaste
Unhein liye ja raha hoon

Kya rishte kya naate
Sab tujh par hai qurbaan
Hain jo yeh tanha raatein
Na chodoonga inke koi nishaan

Akele hi aaye hain
Akele hi chal denge
Jo rishte na nibhaaye hain
Unse na ab tadpenge

Hothon ki larzish thi
Kashmakash yeh meri
Jo di yeh tumne sarzish thi
Hai ab meri zindagi andheri

Tanhayee

Tanhayee ke is safar mein
Kuch pal saath aap de gaye
Kismat thi jo phir chal diye
Warna bhool gaye the hum
Yeh tanhayee kya hoti hai

Khush-kismati thi yeh humari
Jo saath humara, aapne diya
Bebas chhod phir chal diye
Warna bhool gaye the hum
Yeh bewafai kya hoti hai

Kaafir bana main firta tha
Saath humara, aap de gaye
Akela chhod phir chal diye
Warna bhool gaye the hum
Pyar main ruswai kya hoti hai

Saanjh ke intezaar main tadapta tha
Do pal saath aap beth gaye
Phir ussi dhund main chhod chal diye
Warna bhool gaye the hum
Mohabbat main tabahi kya hoti hai

Sar Zameen

Aaj phir yaadein teri mujhe satane lagi
Aaj phir hawayein yeh kuch gungunane lagi
Aise main tera chehra mujhe kuch yun nazar aaya
Ek hi pal main jaise, mujhe meri zindagi nazar aane lagi

Meri chahat ki hai numaish ki andhero main chalna pade
Meri mohabbat ki hai aazmaish ki toofano se bhi ladna pade
Par hasi khushi teri khatir, main in sehraon mein chal padoon
Sabab ho agar yeh teri khushi ka, mile jo isse tujhe sukoon...

Chahe kitni hi phir yeh dooriyan kyun na ho,
Jo tum chaho to phir yeh sargoshiyan na ho
Bas ho apni khushiyan, aur yeh madhoshiyan
Un haseen palon main, yeh tanhaiyan na ho...

Yeh khamoshiyan teri, deti hain mujhe hosla
Yeh udasean meri, deti hain tujhe kya sila?
Meri to zindagi ab ho chuki hai teri sar zameen
Tujhe paane ke liye ab maut bhi lage mujhe badi haseen

Late

Although we r away, our feelings r still together
And so even if I die today, our souls shall live forever
Our love is meant to be, this I shall forever continue to believe
Even if it takes my lifetime for you to come, I'll consider it my destiny

As the days pass by, my loneliness comes back haunting me
And the more I abide, the more the world keeps on taunting me
Yet it doesn't affect me because I know they will be ridiculed
For the day that you come back to me, they won't be daunting me

The scent of your beauty still resides within my heart
Making me rebel this world, hoping for a whole new start
But alas my efforts would be in vain, unless you come back
'Coz I can't exist without you, you are my soul's essential part

You have heard my pleadings, now I can only continue to wait
That one day you will be back, there won't be any more hate
People tell me that I'm wasting my life, that its all over
Yet I listen to my heart that you will be back, even if its too late...

Jeevan Ki Aas

Aaj phir sapno main, unki humein hai bahut yaad aayi
Unhi ki khatir, yeh aankhen aansoon bhi na baha paayi
Par kya karoon hai meri kashmakash ki unse keh na sakoon
Zindagi to zindagi, maut se bhi na hoga kam mera yeh junoon

Maangi thi chahat to mohalat humein mili
Chahi thi apni tabahi to shohrat humein mili
Aawargi se meri, mujhe zillat bhi mili
Phir akhir kyon e-khuda, mujhe unki mohabbat na mili

Gham unke jaane ka nahi, aas unke aane ki hai
Vishwaas unko paane ka nahi, saansein unhe dene ki hai
Jinke sahare jeete hain, unki nazron main zindagi kat jaane ki hai
Zindagi mein nahi to kya, maut se apni roohein nibhaane ki hai

Dard-e-dil ka haal bayaan kar paana nahi aasaan
Raeth ke tilo main jaise bhatak raha ho pyasa
Bas is umeed par jeeta, ki koi le chale kuen ke paas
Tum hoge woh, hai mujhe vishwaas, aur yehi hai mere jeevan ki aas

Qabool

Teri chahat ko samarpit meri yeh zindagi hai
Teri har aahat ko sunna, meri tishnagi hai
Teri muskurahaton ko dekhna, meri khush-naseebi hai
Teri yaadon ko sametna, haan yeh bhi meri bekhudi hai

Zindagi yeh aasaan nahi, tujh bin e humsafar
Deewangi ka nasha chaya hai, mujh par kuch is kadar
Mannat hai yeh meri, saath rahein hum zindagi bhar
Yaadon mein, khwabon mein tere, beet jaati hai sehar

Ek saaya sa hai mujh par, jo rakhta hai duur humko
Tumse is pyar ka zikr na kar paoon, pata hai yeh sabko
Isliye subah shaam yaad karta rehta hoon main us rab ko
Ki ab to tu hi bata de, mere humdam, mere shab ko

Is pyar ke ehsaas ka hai duniya main koi mool nahi
Yeh pyar hai meri saadgi, yeh koi shool nahi
Isse paana hai meri kashish, yeh koi maqbool nahi
Issi ki khatir mar jaoonga, phir chahe usse yeh qabool nahi

Hanging By A Rope

That beautiful glow that shines through your eyes
Resides within my memories, where my feelings arise
Yet every new day, comes with its own surprise
So now I'm waiting for the day, when it'll be my demise

For being without you, is like not being at all
Like walking on a cliff, only waiting to fall
Like the very moment when even time starts to stall
That's when all our tender memories, I start to recall

Its difficult to express a feeling, that does not exist
Like why I still live this life and continue to persist
Its because of hope, 'coz a meet with you I can't resist
Even if my fate is destined, I will continue to insist

And so I live in this world, upon the tiny thread of hope
Because us being together is the maximum of my scope
My struggle to reduce these distances I can't continue to cope
So the day I lose my belief, you will see me hanging by a rope

Aansoon

Yaadon main meri base ho tum
Ban gaye ho is dil ki tum sargam
Nazuk hai yeh bada, jaise koi kusum
Todo na isko, mera jahaan hai yeh gham

Tanhayee ke raaste par ab to sirf tu hai meri shab
Zindagi ke dorahe par kya saath dega mera woh rab?
Tera intezaar ban gaya hai, mere jeene ka sabab
Jo tum mil gaye to, bhool jaoonga main sab

Jeene ki aas ab to main, tumse lagaaye betha hoon
Is dil ka ehsaas, tumhari yaadon se lagaaye sehta hoon
Dard-e-dil ke zakhm, is duniya se chipaye rakhta hoon
Tasveer par teri, yeh apni zindagi bitaye rehta hoon

Issi tamanna ke naate jeeta hoon, ki kabhi phir milenge
Aur ab jo mile, to phir kisi haal mein na bichdenge
Par taqdeer ka kaha hai, yeh dard kabhi na bharange
Apni zindagi se maut tak, yeh aansoon behte rahenge...
