The Death of Expectation

The night swept us away
On a velvet sea of love,
The music fluttered,
Softly about like a moth,
And some magical moments
Were stolen in a kiss,
Until harsh reality
Came knocking along by.

The words swept us away
On a silken bank of trust,
The feelings fluttered
Softly about in the heart,
And some delicious moments
Were stolen in time,
Until harsh reality
Came knocking along by.

And there wasn’t much to go by
There wasn’t much to feel,
But the moth burnt away in the night,
Its wings, unable to heal.

Some random shit

The sitar tugs my heart strings,
The sound like the cry lodged in my throat,
Words spill out the state of mind,
No place to hide.

Remembering Triveni

Humne agar socha hota kuch bhi,
Tumme ye pal na khote yun hi,
Phulkarion ke dhaage bade kachche hote hain

In a haze

Everyone feels like a stranger sometimes,
In the midst of a friendly crowd,
Lost in a private world,
Everyone's from somewhere.

How does need play any part..
How does a voice make a difference..
How does the world call you back..

Wanting and yet not to be out.

when thoughts come back to bite you

Awaazein sunne ko betab hue hum

Pyar bhari ya nafrat ki koi

Kaano mein ahat bhi na padi

Aur door ho gaye hum.

Chehre pe chamki udasi jaise

Koi milke bhi pas na aaya

Hazaron ke beech kho gaye hum

Akele yun bhi tanha aise.

Ud chali hawa,
Yadon ko meri lekar,
Hum reh gaye,
Kahin gumsum rehkar.

Ud chali hawa,
Kuch yun kehkar,
Dil tham gaya,
Wahin tanha hokar.

Beh chali hawa,
Waqt ko khatam kar,
Shaam ka alam,
Aur hum bekhabar.

Khwabon ke Ishaare

Dil mein kuch armaan liye,

Man mein kuch sawaal liye,

Nikal pade bina khayaal,

Jannat ki ik khoj mein.

Palkon mein kuch sapne liye,

Nazron me kuch lamhe liye,

Chalte rahe bina behke,

Jannat ki ik khoj mein.

Kisi mod par mehram ho gaya koi,

Aur kahin tanha reh gaya koi,

Manzilen mil gayin kahin raahon mein,

Jannat ki is khoj mein.
