Main Hoon

Main shayad aas paas tere humesha na rahu 

Par main hoon

Main shayad apne aap se tere liye ladu

Par main hoon

I am not as perfect as you perceive me to be 

But I am looking out for you.

I may have my prejudices and my way of life

But I will have your back. 

Kahi cheeze aisi hoti hai jo hum apne hisaab se ho chahte hai

Kahi cheeze aise bhi hoti hai jo hume bhaati nahi hai.

I am as flawed as they come

I may be as complex as they come 

Par tere liye main humesha hoo 

Tere liye main sab kuch ek kar du. 

Bas sirf tere liye main hoon.  

Cheesecake

Humne kabhi poochna seekha nahi 

Aur unhe mana karna aata nahi 

Humne poochne poochne me waqt guzaar diya

Aur unhone hume humesha taal diya 

Ab phir kalam ke peeche chupne chale hai 

Unhe ab shabdo se pooch ke rahnge 

Cheesecake ka toh pata nahi hai kuch 

Par sabse best waala doondke rahenge. 

Beet Gayi

Raat gayi jo baat gayi
Raakh bana ke dil ko mere, tu chale gayi

Har naam hum ko tu bol gayi
Har kaam hum pe tu chod gayi

Raat gayi jo baat gayi
Zindagi ateet main mere yeh beet gayi

Aadat

Yaha dil ab tak dhadka nahi hai
Yaha dooriyan ab tak mehsoos nahi ki hai

Jab saanse tham jaati hai
Toh bas tera chera hi nazar aata hai

Isse ishq kahu ya kahu tadap
Tujhe chahne lage hai ya bas teri ik aadat si ho gayi hai?

Diwali

Lo aaj bhi aagayi naye libaaz pehn ke diwali 

Bhikre patte samet ke, aangan ko diya se roshan karne waali diwali 

Bachpan se par thodi alag hai ab yeh diwali 

Hum chutti pe hai par

Aaj daftar main bhi koi manayega diwali 

Kya mazab dekhte ho kya bhagva rang?

Yeh na teri hai na meri hain - yeh toh sabhi ki hai Diwali.

Mandir yahi Banega ya Masjid yahi Banega - tumhe is se kya milega,

Jo ghar se door hai, ya jo ghar pe hai - gale lago toh aao aaj - yeh sabki jo hain Diwali.

Aangan

Chod ke aangan Mera 

Chal padi main thaam ke haath tera 

Kabhi lehro main 

Kabhi Shaant samundar main

Saath chali thaam ke haath tera 

Kaha woh apna ghar tha

Kaha woh galiyon main garam jalebi ki mehek

Chod ke sab, saath chali thaam ke haath tera.

Peeche mud ke ab kya dekhna 

Saath Jo chali thaam ke haath tera

Ab mil ke saath basaenge hum ek naya basera 

Amazing Lyrics - Part 3

Kabhi kabhaar sandesha de de
Kya hai tera haal
Rut pardesi rakhti hogi
Shayad tera khayaal

Yaad hai pipal ke jisake ghane saaye the
Hamane gilhari ke jhhute matar khaaye the
Yeh barqat unn hazrat ki hai
Pehali baar mohabbat ki hai, aakhari baar mohabbat ki hai

Lena-dena nahi duniya se mera
Bas tujh se mujhe kaam hai
Teri aankhiyon ki shehar mein
Yara sab intezaam hai

Ho... Main Hi Toh Hoon, Tera Pata
Hai Doosra Na Koi Raasta
Aaye Mujh Tak Wo Tumko Jo Ho Dhoondta
Meri Khamoshiyon Mein Hai Tu Bolta

Ishq tha shayad!

Woh badta gaya toh khoon behta gaya.
Woh nikalne laga toh ghav badta kya.

Churi thi ya Ishq.

Shayad Ishq hi tha jo jaan leta gaya. 

Sifarish

Na chali koi rishwat

Na udhaar mein li sifarish

Ishq ki arzi meri kuch aisi hai

Jaise-

Sarkari daftar ki Madam Ji tu

Aur

Rooj chakkar kaat ta main aam aadmi.

Parsu Ich!

Arz kiya hai:
Parsu ich main tumko mila
Parsu ich apan dawat ku gaye.

Response:
Kya parsu ich, parsu ich kar ra re?
Saal hora, kausi duniya mai reh ra re?

Arz kiya hai:
Salgirah tumhari tumhare ko mubharak
Sher pasand nahi aaya toh, darwaze se sarak.

Nowhere

There is no way but up

When you are on the bed of rocks
And time seems to stop
The entire world seems to weigh down on you
And you start to wonder, if it is just a dream

There is no way but up

When you have your legs on two boats
And you choose the one that's afloat
When you are battling the right from the wrong
Yet choose the wrong for the right never felt strong

There is no way but up

When your loved ones start to leave
And you find yourself all alone in the deep
When you lay down and thoughts won't leave
You try hard but just won't fall asleep

There is no way but up

When you look up and see the longest climb
It then dawns on you, it's about time
When you take the first step again
Let me tell you, from all this pain (you endure)

There is no way but up.
There is no way but up.
There is no way out but higher above. 

Mukammal Jahaan?

Gardish main phasi naav hai
Chingari se, sulagte ghaav hai

Raakh ban chuke hum hai
Phir kaise mukammal yeh jahaan hai?

------

Samundar ki lehro se harte
Dard se darte bhagte

Wajood humara khatm hai.
Phir kaise mukammal yeh jahaan hai?

Aazad

Sun dhyaan se, yeh kavita likhi hai bahut neend mai

Thoda uth ja pehle, yeh bol likhe hai bina kuch soch ke.

Par sun dhyaan se. Ok?

------

Pinjre ka panchi - aasman samjhe chath ko

Chaar diwari ko samjhe woh kainaat

Rheta woh sukoon se.

Aasman ka panchi, uski udaan ki koi seema nahi

Na koi sarhad ka woh mohtaaj hai 

Udta hai tu pankh phela ke.

-------

Dhyaan se sun na, ab punchline hai

Aaram se padna, mera yeh goodnight se pehle ka long message hai

Das, bees, tees, chalis yeh toh khaali number hai

Tu kush hain na, yeh hi tera answer hai.

Thoughts/Ramble

I am sacred.
Scared of everything I don't understand
Scared of experiences that have moulded me.

But does this fear hold true?
A fear of losing your stature
A fear of losing people you love
A fear that manifests into many more fears?

-----
We've all lost battles which were never ours to fight
We've all had our dreams shattered but did it end our lives?

We've all played victim and victor
We've taken it slower and faster.

We are nothing but a manifestation of our choices
We are nothing but a pot-pourri of our experiences

----------
Do you want to wither away petal by petal?
Or bloom and blossom spreading your fragrance far far away?

Are you a bird who is comfortable in an open cage?
Or a bird that will fly accepting challenge and opportunity coming it's way

Life is not about what you think you deserve
Life is not about being fair and that one prime purpose

Let life come to you for it is beautiful as is
Let life come to you for it's not under our control

----
I am scared, I have not ventured alone
I am scared, will I get the same love I was once shown?

I am scared for the silliest of the things
I am scared for my insecurities eat my peace

I am scared and in perpetual fear
But does it mean, I let go all that I hold dear?

-------
Time will fly and so will we
But we won't wait until it's too late for us to look back and see.

Sauda

Ungli pakad ke jab chalna sikhaya
Tujhe tab oocha kadhe rehna sikhaya

Gir ke jab tujhe uthna sikhaya
Tujhe tab udna sikhaya

Ghere samundar main dubki lagana sikhaya
Tujhe tab dar ko kaboo karna sikhaya

Kush rahene ki har woh kala sikhayi
Zindagi ko jeene ka tareeka sikhaya

Phir kyun kushi ka naam leke
Seekha sab bhoolne ho tum chale?

Kyun chand taaro ki aas main
Khawabo me pul baandne lage?

Nahi zaroorat, nahi manzoor har baat main samjhauta
Phir kyun kar rahe ho apni hi kushi ka sauda?

Amazing Lyrics 2

क्या उस गली में कभी तेरा जाना हुआ
जहाँ से ज़माने को गुज़रे ज़माना हुआ
मेरा समय तो वहीं पे है ठहरा हुआ
बताऊँ तुम्हें क्या मेरे साथ क्या-क्या हुआ

Meharbaani Jaate Jaate Mujh Pe Kar Gaya
Guzarta Sa Lamha Ek Daaman Bhar Gaya
Tere Nazara Mila, Roshan Sitaara Mila
Takdeer Ki Kashtiyon Ko, Kinara Mila

मेरी राहें तेरे तक हैं
तुझपे ही तो मेरा हक़ है
इश्क़ मेरा तू बेशक़ है
तुझपे ही तो मेरा हक़ है

तुम जो कह दो तो, आज की रात, चाँद डूबेगा नहीं
रात को रोक लो
रात की बात है और जिन्दगी बाकी तो नहीं

God Speed

Look, how much you've grown
Oh, you've become a man of this day

Look, how far you've come
Oh,  carved a name for yourself today

How far off are you willing to go alone?
At godspeed, only a few places will be left unexplored

A state of estacy didn't kill nobody
Alone sometimes, can never be called a party

You may have a partner but I've seen what they are capable of
Oh how easy it was to put one down for a perfect take off

I've written things you were unwilling to listen
As they say all good things have a final run

I hope you reach the summit faster than a thunder bolt
But don't worry about the collateral damage until you are too old.

Words have a way to reach our ears
Once up there I hope you don't get to hear those

They'll be shrieks and cries and a lot of lies
But you'll sit on a throne you'll call it your right

I hope you travel at the speed of light
Godspeed son, in the end it's always a lonely fight.

Kehne ko!

Kehne ko toh keh de ki aap chand ho mere
Kehne ko do keh de ki hum daag aapke.

Kehne ko toh hum taare bhi hain
Kehne ko toh phir, tum raat humari

Kehne ko toh hum shaadi main tumhara saja joda
Kehne ko toh tum shringaar humara

Kehne ko toh hum bahut kuch ho sakte hai,
Par dehkha jaaye toh kya humare hone ka tumhe ehsaas bhi hai?


Bolo? Bolo toh?

Radha

Radhe tu kyun hai khafa, Kanha toh hain aanadi zara
Oh
Khafa jo tu hui toh Kanha manaye kaise?

Baansuri ki dhun pe tu, jal uthe jaise suraj tu
Kanha toh tera piya, phir kyu hai tu mujhse khafa??

Saath tu hai toh hai saara jaha, saath nahi toh yeh Kanha kaha?
Tere liye main jag se lada, Kanha ki hain ek yeh sada.
-----

Kanha tu toh hain bas mera, phir gopiyon main kaam kya tera?
Teri leela ki maine suni hain sada....

Hain toh tu mera, hain mera piya,
Tu paas nahi toh ghabraye jiya

Kanha tu hai jag main bada
Par mere liye tu hi jag mera

Kanha aur Radha toh hai ek sada
Mere liye tu, main tere liye kya?

Saath hain toh, hai shikva bhi kya
Main tera tu meri, main tujhpe fana
------

Ibadat tu meri, hai meri tu dua
Tu mera preet, tu hi khuda mera

Mohe na kabhi tu chodna oh piya
Tere preet ka raag gungunau sada

Kanha se hai Radha, Radhe se hai Kanha
Radhe ka hai Kanha, Kanhe ki main Radha.

Kalpana

बावरा हूँ मैं इश्क़ मे तेरे
पर तेरी मौजूदगी का मैं मोहताज नही

हसरत थी साथ जीने की तेरे
पर तेरा ज़ाहिर होना ज़रूरी नही

पी चुके है जी भर के जाम आंखों से तेरे
अब उस नशे का भी हमपे कोई जोर नही

यह तोह अब इब्तिदा है एक नए जुनून की
पर इस सोज़ का तेरे से कोई वास्ता नही

कवि की कल्पना ही तोह है सब कोई
अब यह कलम की सिहाई से किसी के वजूद का कोई वास्ता नही। 

Eclipse

I witnessed an eclipse of the moon last night
Also witnessed a blooming flower in that fading moonlight.

That's when I knew I wasn't dreaming
For it bought along a fragrance of new tidings.

Zero

First
Kushi se ubhar raha Dil
Umeed ki aad main sooya nahi Dil

Second
Socha main dooba
Aas main baitha

Third
Kalpna karta mann
Toote motiyon se ek kahani pirohta, sun!

Fourth
Kahaniyo ko sach maan ke, yeh Mann kalapta
Pagal pan ke kooye main koodta phir, yeh tadapta

Fifth
Bandhuo ko is kalpanic kahani ka arth samjhata
Roota hasta, khud pe ghin karta

Sixth
Rishto ke dhaage todke ek nischaye karta
Aag sa jalta, yeh tabahi ka manzar kuch bhayanak sa

Seventh
Khud ko yun toota dekh, har ek kan samethta
Aur khud se sab theek karne ka vaada karta

Eighth
Ab zindagi ki patri pe wohi khud utarta
Naye libaaz main, ek naya josh lekar

Nine
Aage shunya hai , aage rasta khatam hai bhai
Ab titli ban, phir ud chala hoo main. Soaring through the sky!

Shackles

The faster we fly, the higher we soar
You were there, till we reached the shore

The shackles we broke, the bullets we dodged
It's here, where new relationships we forged 

Every step you have changed, the name of you never the same.
----

You've been an indefinite source of strength
To each one of you - who've  been a friend 

Many of you are no longer around 
And those of you who someone else have found 

It was never an easy ride 
Yet we surfed the highest tide 

Some of you are bound to stay
So stay with me till the end of day 
------

You leave behind a piece of you 
When you move on to something new

Ladders we climb and we fall
You've always been there to cushion it all 

Old habits we break, new roads to take 
With you by my side, all barriers we break. 

Paheli

Ek paheli thi, samjh nahi aayi
Maine koshish ki, par jaldi haar maan li.

Paheli yeh khud phir saamne se chalke aayi 
Socha, isse aaram se suljhaya jaaye

Waqt laga par thodi bahut samajh aa gayi 
Aisa lagta tha jaise mujhe ek saathi mil gaya 
Zaroori nahi ki har woh saathi anth tak chale 
Par yeh silsila yun is sthiti mai lamba chlega 

Is paheli main ab itne doob se gaye hai
Ki ab ek dar sa lagne laga hai 
Saathi ko apne humsafar ki talash hai 
Aur mera humsafar toh kisi aur hi ke saath hai

Ab kya kiya jaaye?

Chilla de ki, eh raahi tu tham ja, 
Akele pan se mujhe dar lagta hai?
Veerane main jo tune phool khilaya hai
Seech saath mere, shayad yeh safar lamba chalne waala hai?

Woh khudgarzi hogi na? 
Khudgarz hum nahi.

Chnd din ka mehman hi toh hai tu 
Kal udaan phir apni lega tu
Jab jaayega bahut kuch mujhe de ke jaayega
Uska mujh pe ek lamba sa udhaar rahega

Meri bas ek guzaarish hai phir

Jab jaao toh kuch rooj pehle hi itilah de dena
Yun achanak chod ke tum ek din nikal na yun jaana. 

Death

I am here, there and almost everywhere
Yet I am not acknowledged and am shunned from every place

Stoics/Sadhus are the only ones who acknowledge my presence
More of a facade, coz they tremble and my name make them lose all sense.

I've been assigned a role and diligent I am
No laurels no empathy only scorn and contempt.

I am Death and I am just a man on the job
I hustle to get things done and am always present for when Nature calls.

Been at it and will do so for eternities to come
Yet I do not enjoy what I see, but a job should be well done!

I've seen wars transforming green lands into black and red
I've seen towns out of a painting turn to rubble and dust

I've seen great men squirm and cry when I arrive
I've seen a child as brave as any, smile when his time has come

----
Have you ever seen the sky turn red?
Or the Sky turn orange or blue or gray or bloody red?

You marvel at such wonders
Then why blame Death, instead just surrender?

Life and Death are two sides of the same coin

Grandiose celebrations when life arrives
While
Mourning and Sadness when death arrives?
----
Let me tell you a little about myself,
----
I am the finish line of the race you began
With the stop watch in Life's Hands

I am the one with a heart
For what I witness is not for the faintest of hearts

I am overworked, for I am on call 24/7
I am Death and I'll complete every task I've been given.

Khat

Udas toh rehti hai kitab bhi aaj kal,
Suna hai, khat likhna ab sab old school samajhte hai

Udas toh rehti hai kalam bhi aaj kal
Suna hai, prem patr sirf kahaniyo main pade jaate hai.

Ab iss khat ki kya dastaan sunau
Dakiya bhi hai aur pata bhi
Par yeh premi aaj Kal ke,
WhatsApp ke bahaar nikalte hi nahi.

Dur

Badalo ne chupa ke rakha hain aaj chand ko
Eh Kismat, tune door kyun rakha hai mere yaar ko?

Food Poisoning Poem

Bathroom ka vatavarn toh not in favour
Awaz karta stomach , can't even go later.

Kya khaya jo yeh karna pad raha hain suffer
Upar se teri kavita , woh kya kam tha torture.

Goodbye!

Hello Kind People,

I was in conversation with a person today and this is what he said,

'The more time you spend with someone, the more they see only your flaws and run away as far as they can and all your goods go out of the window'

I have served you for so many years and off late I have received feedback of

'Your poems are depressing '
'Kitna roota baap tu apne poems main'

And may be I do. So before more of you start dropping, which is already happening, I think I'll take this break until I can come up with more poems like these

I am going to meet two cats Loki and Luna
And in their house lives Kru, their momma.
Wah Wah Wah!

Thank you for having faith in me and loving my work.
I hope I can come back stronger emotionally and mentally and be of your service again.

Goodnight take care.
I love you and I miss you already.

PS: I'll leave you with a last poem for a couple of months.

Reng reng ke akhir phir khade hue toh
I didn't have a crutch and I'd like to keep it so

Badi mashakat se sametha tha khud ko
I want to be happy but I need to take it slow

Is safar main bahut kuch sirf khooya hi hoon main
I pray I am not the cause for someone's pain.

Main bas kush rehkar jeena chahta hoon
But not at the cost of guilt and broken homes.

Reng reng ke akhir phir khade hue toh
Ladkhate hue sambhal toh jaayenge aur phir zindagi ke safar par chal padenge.

Mere Shabd

I jumped into a word with a tape at hand,
At freefall, not knowing where I would land.

Words are shrewd, they threw me out,
And that's how the depth I never found.

Every tool I have used and none of any use,
To reach the bottom, I need a few clues.

It then dawned upon me, words are inherently shallow,
It's their meanings that I'll need to now follow.

And that's how I reached the depth of these words,
Depth where a new world beckons and i may be home.

Why then does any language matter,
Let's transcend into a phase juxtaposing letters.

Tu na kal si na tu ajj hai, eh bol teh naal ne,
Gheriyan ne, inha nu samajh javange ge.

Inhi main ek naya nazarya milega,
Ab dhoondenge woh jiski kalpana kabhi nahi ki.

Yeh bol ghere toh hain, but they aren't closing in on me,
Surrounding myself with these words, my memories have stopped choking me.

Shikayat

Shikwa shikayat toh khoob karni hai rab se 
Kore kaagaz ko alfaazo se bharna hai phir se 

Zindagi yeh hi hain, jo khaniyo main suna karte hain
Dard se choor hain, par muskuriye khoob, shayad jeena isi ka naam hai.

Khoobsurat hai tu

तेरे माथे पे वो छोटी सी बिंदिया, कैसे बयान करू तुझपे कितनी जचती है,
जैसे पूर्णिमा की रात का चमकता चाँद।

तेरे आंखों पे जो काजल सजा है, कैसे बयान करू तुझपे कितना जचता है,
जैसे किसी द्वीप को ओढे एक घेरा समुन्दर।

तेरे कानो से थिरकते वो झुमके, कैसे बयान करू तुझपे कितने जचते है,
जैसे नित्य में लीन कोई अप्सरा।

और यह नथ, कैसे बयान करू तुझपे कितना ही जचता है,
जैसे किसी बाग का वो अकेला खिला गुलाब।

तोफा

Dekho toh hum kya laye hai
Kholo toh yeh jo tofa laye hai

Haathon main band hum mausam laye hai
Aao toh inhe tumpe laga dete hai

Kaisa laga?

Dekho toh yaha vadi ki chaap laaye hai
Kahaniya aur kai kisse bhi laaye hai

Aankhon main bandh hum bol laye hai
Suno toh geet nahi loori laaye hai

Milo toh hum aaye hai
Dekho toh tumhaare liye tofa laaye hai.

A Much Needed Break./Amazing Lyrics-1

Hum jab honge 60 saal ke aur tum hogi 55 ki bolo preet nibhaogi na tab bhi apne bachpan ki?

Kahin to Dil mein yaadon ki ek suli gad jaati hai
Kahin har ek Tasveer bhahut hi dhonli pad jati hai
Koi nai duniya ke naye rango mein khush rehta hai
Koi sab kuch paake bhi yeh maan hi maan kehta hai

Dekhake bhi nahi ho yakin
Itani kyun hai bata tu haseen
Tere husn se jindagi haseen
Tere husn ke aage koyi haseen na kuchh bhi nahi

Auron Se Kya
Khud Hi Se, Poonch Lenge Raahein
Yahin Kahin, Maujon Mein Hi
Dhoond Lenge Hum
Kinare.
Hain Jahaan Hai Hum
Kinare..
Khud Hi Toh Hai Hum. Kinare.....

Kudiye, tuvi chad ke na chali jayi.

Calling Me Home

I have walked a rocky road all alone looking for something new
The voice in my head guiding me home is none other but you.

It's you I look in every face and yet you seem so far away
And when I find the girl I know, this is what I'll say,

----

I've walked many a miles in broken shoes, with no end at sight
But I come home to you and it's here my peace resides.

I look out the window and a familiar face smiles back at me
It's here I know I am safe, for you are home to me

Reflecting them rays, adds a charm to your face
I say to self hold on to her for she is the home you seek

----

I've walked a rocky road across many a path looking for a girl I know
And when I find the girl I know, I am never letting her go.

Nagada

Suno suno, bado ka farmaan hai aaya
Pado pado, haqeeqat hain likhne ka ziqr hai kiya

Jagana hai avaam ko toh ab shama jalega
Jis jis ka kahi zikr nahi, woh sab kavi likhega

Jo nahi dikhta woh ab yeh kalam dikahyega
Jo nahi sunta usko ab kavi sunayega.

Siyasat ke shor main ab ek goonjh uthegi
Nagade se yeh lakhaar ab har jaha sunayi degi.

Ek main aur ek tum

Ek woh hai aur ek tum
Woh jo mera Ansh hai 
Aur tum jo mera aaj

Ek mera kal tha ek mera aaj hai 
Kal jo ab apnayega nahi 
Aaj jo mere liye tyaar nàhi 

Ek main hoon aur ek tum ho
Tum jo ab kisi aur ki ho 
Aur tum jise main khona nahi chahta 

Ek main hoon aur ek khud se ladta mera atman
Ek woh hai jo mujhe thode hi palo main duniya dikha gaya
Aur ek main -jo us duniya main phir jaane ko kaamp raha hoon

Aur in bhavnao se panapte - dar aur ek yakeen hai 
Yakeen ke tum bhi chale jaaoge 
Aur dar yeh ki main phir se haar jaaunga

Garima Yeh Meri/My Pride.

यह एहसास मैं कैसे बयान करू - बहुत से शब्द है, बहुत सी भावनाए
यह एक ऐसी स्थिति है जहां मैं बह रही हूं - बहुत धीमे से

यह एहसास मेरा तोह है पर यह बोल - बोल यह एक सुर है
सुर एक गीत का जो मैं सुन रही हूँ - जिसमे मैं मगन हूँ

ये बहता हुआ जो सुर है - इसी से मैं जीने का महत्व सीख रही हूँ
और खुश हूँ - क्योंकि मैं अब अपने रूह से रूबरू होने लगी हूँ।

Abhinandan

A blackened eye but a confident gait
Escorted by Ranger, he enters through the Indian Gate.

A prisoner of circumstance, our pride is home
To a soil which he calls his home

Rejoice! for now he is back
But pray for the ones, who we couldn't track.

Many a men are MIA
Dead or Captured, who can say?

Rejoice for our soldier is back
But pray for the ones who gave their lives - on the track.

Forget not those Martyred souls
Those yet to avenge, but not at the risk of you.

We've lost many a men on the frontline now
Those yet to avenge, but not at the risk of you.

War cries we shout from our homes
Those yet to avenge, but not at the risk of you.

Let's go to war at the cost of who?
We'll avenge our brothers but not at the cost of you .

We've got you back but lost many not few
We'll avenge our brothers but not at the cost of you.

#RosheshPoetry

Ramblings of an empty mind/Socta hoo

Yeh akelapan mera mujhe gharne laga hai
Khaali kamre ki diwaare meri taraf bad rahi hai

Main chilla raha hoon, mujhe aazad hona hai
Hasti, yeh saari bediyan, mujhe aur bhi zoor se jakar rahi hai

Sochta hoo main yaha kaise phas Gaya,
Theek hi toh tha, phir kaisa yeh chakrvyu hai 

Arjun nahi main jo iska tod jaanta hoo
Abhimanyu hoo, par isme marna nahi chata

Phir kaise yaha se bahar nikla jaaye?
Dheeraj rakhu ya is bhavana se ladu?

Sochta hoo ki ab haar Maan lu
Aur ek veer sainik ban ke balidaan de du

tyaari toh pakki thi par har khel toh main Jeet nahi sakta
Shayad kahi aur mujhe meri Jeet milegi, shayad waha mujhe meri aazadi mile?

Pata nahi, shayad haar Maan ke dekhte toh hai.
Pata nahi, shayad Jeet hi jaau?

Shayad

न ज़रूरत थी जान ने की
न ज़रूरत थी बात करने की

फिर भी यूँ चले आये
फिर भी क्यों हाथ बढ़ाये

शायद कुछ रह गया था बाकी 
या नया कुछ शुरू होने को है

शायद हमारी कोई अधूरी कहनी है
या एक नए सिलसिले की डोर बंधने को है
