A silent piece of music...

here i am...
in a far far world
away from...
everyone i love
i feel...
incomplete
i feel...
i am cynic
with me is...
a silent piece of music.

no words...
no voice
neither silence...
nor any noise
with me are...
my memories
some saccharine...
some acerbic
and just...
a silent piece of music.

Playing now...

Yeh hai meri kahani...
Khamosh zindagani...
Sannata keh raha hai...
Kyun zulm seh raha hai...
Ek dastan purani...
Tanhayee ki zubani...
Har zakhm khil raha hai..
Kuch mujhse keh raha hai..
Chubhte kaante yaadon ke...
Daman se chunta hoon...
Girti deewaron ke...
Aanchal mein zinda hoon...
Bas ye meri kahani...
Benishaan nishani...
Ek dard beh raha hai...
Kuch mujhse keh raha hai...
Chubhte kaante yaadon ke...
Daman se chunta hoon...
Girti deewaron ke...
Aanchal mein zinda hoon...

Bajay pyar ki shabnam mere gulistan mein...
Baraste rehte hai har sinth maut ke saaye...
Syahiyonse se ulajh padti hai meri aankhen...
Koi nahi...koi bhi nahi jo batlaye...
Ke main kitni der ujalon ki rah dekhoonga...
Koi Nahi...hai koi bhi nahi..na paas na door...
Ek yaar hai...dil ki dhadkan...
Apni chahat ka jo ealaan kiye jati...
Zindagi hai...jo jiye jati hai...
Khoon ke ghunt...piye jati hai...
Khawb kaaton se...siye jati hai...

Ab na koi paas hai...
Phir bhi ehsaas hai...
Syahiyon mein uljhi padi...
Jeene ki ek aas hai...
Yaadon ka jungle ye dil...
Kanto se jalthal ye dil...
Chubhte kaante yaadon ke...
Daman se chunta hoon...
Girti deewaron ke...
Aanchal mein zinda hoon...

Another Point Blank?

Jage hain der tak hum…

Yes, I can feel it.
A tired body, a tired mind and perhaps a tired soul.
Numbness inside my head.
I cannot think anymore.
The thoughts are going haywire.
Eyes, reddening,irritating, are closing despite my effort to keep them open.
Every muscle in the body aching, shouting for rest.

Kuch der sone do…

Let me sleep for a while.
Please!
I beg!
They are calling me...
The nice cozy bed, that smooth fluffy pillow, the silky warm blanket, they are all calling me.
My body wants that all.
My mind wants to be free, free of every conscious thought, free of every question it faces, free of this world.

Thodisi raat aur hai…

The night’s slipping away but it’s still dark.
Look, the trees stand still, so that they don’t disturb the birds sleeping fearless in their arms.
The roads are also dozing off with no burden to carry.
The nice and cool breeze blowing as if singing a lullaby to the world.

Subah to hone do…

Don’t be in a hurry, wait till the dawn, when the Sun will slowly be waking up spreading its early morning rays colouring the black sky, blue and saffron. When the birds will start chirping and will leave the nest in search of food, when the trees will start bathing in warm golden light.
Wait till then.

Adhe-adhure khawb jo...

My work is not finished yet.
I have dreams!
Dreams that are so dear to me, dreams that are incomplete, dreams I wish to fulfill…dreams that need to be fulfilled…

Pure na ho sake...

Dreams which could not be fulfilled.
Dreams which were left unattended.
Dreams which were nascent.
Dreams which were lost.

Ek baar phirse neend mein...

Give me one more chance.
Just one!
To sleep again.
So that I can return to the world of dreams.
And…

Woh khawb bone do…

…see my dreams again.
Dreams that are incomplete…
Dreams that I wish to fulfill…
Dreams that need to be fulfilled…


p.s. My Gtalk status message today: Dream is a place where wish and fear meet. And when the wish and the fear are the same we call it a nightmare! (Shantaram)

A dream comes to life...

Somewhere in the mind,
An idea tickles.
Somewhere in the eyes,
There’s a sparkle.
Somewhere in the heart,
The idea meets belief.
And then…
A dream comes to life!

Its time!

It's time...
to stand up
and stand up tall.
It's time...
to glow
as the night falls
It's time...
to jump
over the wall

Revelation!

A dream, a hope
And hunt for the best
Life I wonder is an ultimate quest!

In search of happiness
In search of success
Life I feel is an ultimate quest!

On the new boulevard
I am with my zest
Life I know is an ultimate quest!

An effort that's great
A stroke of fate
Life is indeed an ultimate quest!

Point Blank

One Song...too many thoughts...a little bit of poetry...all intersect in my mind...result Point Blank!

Seene mein jalan, aankhon mein tufan sa kyun hai?
Is shehar mein har shaks pareshan sa kyun hai?

Questions!
a lot of them...
here in my mind.
Answers!
I know not...
where to find.

Dil hai toh, dhadakne ka bahana koi dhunde
Patthar ki tarah behis-o-bejaan sa kyun hai?

Paths!
new elude me...
I still walk the old.
Crossroads!
is where I stand...
either timid or bold.

Tanhai ki yeh kaunsi manzil hain rafiko?
Ta -hadd-e-nazar ek bayabaan sa kyun hai?

I!
stand here...
alone and helpless
My world!
is out there...
Somewhere.

Kya koi nai baat nazar aati hai hum mein?
Aaina hume dekh ke hairan sa kyun hai?

Change!
it is the ...
Absolute truth.
Patience!
I believe
will bear the fruit.

If Only...

If only...
I had said yes
instead of a no

If only...
I had said wait
instead of go

If only...
I had a choice
other than right or wrong

If only...
I had answers to questions
in my mind

If only...There was no "If only..."

My New World

Faces beam,
Full of dreams,
It’s a new world…

Beautiful sunshine,
With a new lifeline,
It’s a new world…

Yes there’s pain
But such is the gain
This new world…

There’s love
There’s hope
Cages break
Birds elope
In this new world…
