Fresher's Day Party

Must've been some fun times when I wrote this


Everybody, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon!
Fresher's Day Party, let's bring it on!
Time's passing on, we're waiting for a song
The fun part's on, with nothing wrong

After passing a screening test,
The party brings out, the very best
So admirations come, from the rest
While everyone enjoys the fest!

These terrific dances, these silky voices
Are a few of the available variety of choices
The excellent acting during the plays
Do not require any external praise

The cool members set up the show
Amusing the audience row-by-row
They are all stunned head-to-toe
'Cause its Fresher's Day Party, so let's go-go-go...

Tera Pyar

Here's another poem I wrote years ago


Tumse hai pyar, yeh main nahi kehta
Phir bhi hoon tadapta, dard ko sehta
Badi mushkil se hoon, tere bina zinda rehta
Kya karoon - tere pyar ke nashe main hoon behta

Us pyar ke nashe main hoon main behka
Jise soch kar, mera dil hai dehka
Teri khushboo se, main hoon mehka
Jaise ki kaliyan khilne par, phool hai chehka

Kaisa yeh nasha hai, kaisa yeh khumaar hai
Aisa tera pyar hai, aayi jaise bahaar hai
Nahi inkaar hai, na ikraar hai
Ab to kuch keh de, dil yeh bekaraar hai

Tere bina ab yeh nahi jee paayega
Kyunki tera pyar, zindagi bhar satayega
Tere ishq main, yeh tadapta reh jaayega
Tere baare main hi sochta reh jaayega

Happy Teacher's Day!

I was going through some old stuff I had lying around, when I came across some poems I had written a while ago...figured I'd post them all here as well

I have no idea when/why I wrote this but apparently I did!...its a good poem I suppose...certainly reminds me of high school


Everybody, let me hear you say,
2004, Happy Teacher's Day!
Its time, we all pay,
Tribute to those who show us the ray
To success in their own way

They help us decide our fate,
Understanding what we like and hate
Their presence of mind helps us understand our state,
And so, I can happily say, "You all are majestically great!"

Be it sports or be it studies,
Working alone or with buddies
You have always been there with support,
Even in our problems, like an escort

Therefore, I plead to you, please remain the same,
Helping us earn, name and fame
Finally, everybody loudly say,
2004, Happy Teacher's Day!

Final Words

There's a fire rising within my heart
As my soul continues to burn
With the open wounds that you've left me
My life continues to wither away

Deep beneath the ashes lies my soul
That you cursed upon when we separated
And so now I'm all alone, wondering what's changed
As the weight of our love crushes me away

The distances that arose between ourselves
Continue to haunt me even today
As I stand here looking at the past
I realize what a fool I've been

There's no denying that I really miss you
From the moment you said that we are through
But I cannot change what's already gone
So I leave you with these final words...

Destiny

I was just wondering the other day,
Why our lives are so dull
Struggling to make ends meet
Why can't we just walk on the road to freedom

Trying to reach those goals,
Ones that we didn't even accept
We give up what we truly want
And end up having nothing at all

I'd love to go on long road trips
Seeing new places along the way
Meeting new people, making new friends
But alas life isn't as easy as it may appear

So I'm sitting here thinking what I can do
Yet nothing at all seems to solve my problems
And so I continue to think about where I could've been
Had such a life not been my destiny

Dream

Days come and pass by yet you remain in my heart
Even as my life rots away I'm still waiting for a new start
Upon your answer, my life still hangs in waiting
But it seems like I'm a castaway - for whom no one cares

Its funny how my mind is always clouded with your thoughts
Yet you are busy within your own life, nowhere to be seen
I pass by your neighborhood everyday just to see you smile,
Yet you discard my living as if I'm not even there

Here I'm dying just to get another view of you
While, for you, its all over and we are already through
I can't give up now though, because I've come too far
Now my life hangs in balance and I can't afford to lose

I still can't believe how ugly things have turned
You have gone miles away and my life has fallen apart
Yet I'm still waiting even if its as foolish as it seems
Because its my only hope and you are my only dream

Daraar

Humein ruksat kiya apni sar zameen se
Chhod chale majdhar mein is zindagi ko
Ittefaq hi hoga jo aaj bhi intezaar hai
Ki waqt woh lautega aur phir se aayegi bahaar

Ussi ke khwaabon main yeh mann kyun bhatakta hai
Dekhne ko use ek pal, yeh dil kyun tadapta hai
Jab zindagi se meri tum ja hi chuke ho
To yaadon mein teri yeh dard kyun rehta hai

Kehne ko to yun, akele hum jee bhi lenge
Judaai ke aansoon, hum pee bhi lenge
Tumse aitbaar na kiya, lekin yeh gham satayega
Issi kashish main, sarhadein hum see bhi lenge

Dard hai kuch dil mein jo tumhein bhoolane na dega
Jo beetaye the saath pal woh hamesha yaad aayenge
Phir chahe yeh dooriyan kabhi na khatam ho
Jo dil mein hai tumse daraar, yeh kabhi na mitegi

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
