Bachpan

Bachpan ke wo din the pyare,
Sote sote ham jagte the,
Dil hi dil me gussa leke,
Khoob sabere ham uthte the,

Ankh lage jab padhte padhte,
Aur achanak didi thi uthati,
Man bharma me, bat badal ke,
Phir se padhne ham lagte the,

Kitne hi bahane banana,
Kuch bhi ho par school na Jana,
Roni si hum soorat le ke,
Jhuti jhuti kasme kahte the,

Bachpan ke wo din the pyare,
Sote sote hum jagte the.....

Rat andheri itna thi darati,
Sochta tha mai,ye kyun hai ati,
Darte darte jab bahar jate,
Bajrang Bali the bade yad ate,

Sab jab apni mithai khate,
Hum chupke se mutthi me dabate,
Phir hum sabko lalcha lalchke,
Apni wali mithai khate,

Didi thi bada hi satati,
Zara si bat pe daant lagati,
Didi kyun badi hai hamse,
Man hi man sochte rahte the,

Bachpan ke wo din the pyare,
Sote sote hum jagte the.....

Down the memory lane

If it was'nt the darkness,
cold,
and the thick fog of winters,
dryness in my skin,
and those late hours,
of strolling sans purpose,

If it was'nt my loneliness,
silence,
and the calm that came uninvited,
with tragedy in matters of heart,
and tears that waited on the edge of the eye,
with every passing thought,

In those moments of despair,
agony,
and betrayal,life taught me,
my most valuable lesson, that
loving and being loved,
has no place for reason,

If it was'nt what it was,
life,
would have been wasted,
worshiping a shallow heart,
waiting for somebody who was'nt mine,
right from the start.....

Kuch sunana chahta hun

Taro ka bichhauna bicha ke,
Asmano ki satah pe sula ke,
hawaon ki tumko chadar udha ke,
mai kuch gungunana chahta hun,
kuch sun-na,aur kuch sunana chahta hun,

meri khamoshion ke jo matlab hai,
meri tanhayiyon ki adat hai,
mere gham aur mere anshu,
apni ankho se dikhana chahta hun,
kuch sun-na,aur kuch sunana chahta hun,

kuch hongi ankhen nam agar,
kisi ki bewafai ka hai zara asar,
kuch unme phir khushi bhi hai,
tum jaisa mila hamsafar,
ab to gham samet ke,
khushian lutana chahta hun,
kuch sun-na,aur kuch sunana chahta hun......

I WANT TO MISS YOU

Its only in the wilderness of thoughts,
That the sight of you,
So full of life,
Pulls me together,
And i start missing you at once,

Moist with emotions,
And saddened by the memory, of
Sweetest of moments we spent,
I plunge into a spiral,
Un-ending, un-nerving, un-assailable,
Unknowingly then i realise,
How badly i miss you,

Sleep you well,
For i slept a nought,
Last night, that left
Dripping with your thoughts,

Soaked as I am, with
Love so pure,
I leave all purpose,
Close all doors,for
There is nothing, for which
I am so sure,
If there's something to do,
when I am not with you,
My heart but says,
I want to miss u,

If there,s something to do,
when i am not with you,
My heart but says,
I want to miss u.........

LONELY SONGS

At times,
They are my only songs,
Lonely songs,

When I strum my guitar,
To one odd tone,
Move fret to fret,
Singing alone,
Sooner or later,
I see I fall,
To some beautiful line,of
My only songs,
Lonely songs,

I shop,i buy,
Many movies I try,
I roam around,
In packed malls,
I walk, I walk and then
I stop,humming a line of
My only songs,
Lonely songs,

I work in morning,
To days and nights,
I do my work,
Flawlessly bright,
But in a moment of My own,
When I sit and sigh,
I move from within,
To a freedom flight,
To the land of free,
With me and me,
I sleep, I sing with endless joy,
My only songs,
Lonely songs

AS THE TIME ROLLED BY

As I sit behind a tree trunk,
Under rain and clouds,
I think of,
A day passed called Sunday,
A day passed called Diwali,
Rakhi, anniversary and a birthday...
With every passing minute like a day,
All I can realize is that;
A Day Passed!!

I think of,
A theater showing newest movies,
Restaurant offering classy food,
My neighborhood,
My college that I never went to,
My bike, my car,
Home and friends...
And how they became scarcities of life,
As the time rolled by,

I think of,
My aloofness,Absentmindedness,
If its a curse or a bliss,
What I miss is a loss,
Or what I have is a gain...
Like to all questions,
I have a simple answer,"I m happy this way"

I think of it,
As a blessing,
To serve my nation,
With passion and devotion,
But there are regrets a few,and
What I am saying is nothing new,

O dear God I am a small fry,and
Though I say I still feel shy,
Next time u jumble up the things,
Make few soldiers, make few kings,
Make me a just a common man,
Let me have new pleasures,new pains,

Let me see a life new,
To overcome few cravings I never knew,
Hope you hear while a sing,
A common prayer, a needless thing,
When i wander to eternal sleep,
Make this a promise that you will keep,
Make this a promise that you will keep…

TO THE END OF FOREVER

Lets just go back in time,to see
Our first rain,
That lonely train,
Those movies together,and
Moments of laughing or crying in vain,

To tell you,
Many a times I was wrong,
As a volley of emotions came too strong,but
Underneath sheets of crudity, and
Insensitivity galore,
I have a heart really pure,
Untouched by worldly vices, and
My love for you only rises,


Today as we sail through,
A year of love and passion,
Sadness, dejection and countless reasons,
To fight and cry, and
Yet feel really proud,of
The times passed by,

May this mischievous bliss,
Blossom from form to essence,
While we live together,
Loving and forgiving,
Year after year,
To the end of forever....
