Choice

Living my life guided by my beating heart,
Not exactly knowing where it will end,
But I know for sure where to start.

They told me I am too young to understand,
My journey will some day come to an end.
And I said that is fine by me,
Because I am made to stand out not to blend.

They told me open your eyes before it’s too late,
that I should not be testing my fate.
But there are many things left to try on my plate,
And I can’t wait them out till I am 68.

So just wake me up when all of this is over,
When I am wise and so much older.
My heart will always stay young and free,
I have locked my problems and threw away the key.

I tried carrying weight of the world and walk for a mile,
But it’s too heavy that it’s killing my smile.
Seems like I got to choose only one thing,
I will shed the weight and I will choose to sing.

So let me live my life, and give me some space,
Because I am not going to be a part of this rat-race.
Where every morning they will start at nine,

But they are never able to get to the finish-line…

The other World

This blue sky which looks like an ocean,
must be having a special star.

A star containing a second world,
Totally different from the one in which living we are.

Where life is still alive,
No sign of anger, no sign of pain.
Where everyone is living not just to survive.

So much happiness that everyone could take,
Nobody’s alone, nobody gets lost.
People love each other, so much,
there isn’t even a single heart-break.

The world that is free of any killing,
Eyes without tears, hearts without walls.
Where each and every wish is fulfilling.

So, I went on to find this amazing world,
got into the ship of moon,
and sailed across the ocean of sky.

Only after that I came to know,
the beautiful world that I seek,
is hidden under own world.

It’s not on a different star,
That somewhere is right here.

But yes, there are multiple shades,
Full of evil and so full of hate.
Which are stuck on our world’s lovely face.

Dust of anger and shackles of greed,
Clinging on its body like a deadly snake.
Stopped that world from coming down to us.

If it’s face could get rid of that dust and shades,
If it’s body could break free of that deadly snake,
Then that star will shine upon our world.

No more riots and no more fights,
Our world once more will be full of smiles.

Rebirth

Driving my car on the open road,
Thinking what I did in my life so far.

Learning from the past, thinking about the future,
But losing on my present like a burning cigar.

Maybe that’s the tornado inside which,
Everyone is stuck so deep, so thick.

Working late nights to secure your life,
You don’t even care about your loving wife.

Always on the Netflix even when you eat,
But remember it’s your family,
That will make you complete.

It’s okay to work,
Everyone fights for that extra perk.

But not okay is to forget rest everything,
Am happy that atleast I got this feeling.

Time for re-birth of that creative child,
Whose style was so classy,
And the thoughts were so wild.

Take the charge and grab that wheel,
You can’t suppress anymore, this awesome feel.

Stop trying so hard,
where you just don’t fit.

It’s your life, your wish,
C’monnn… make the most of it.

I saw a shining star

Tonight I saw a shining star,
making its way through the ultimate dark.

In that star, I could see your face,
Watching me down there from that empty space.

Stunning was the moment, so stunning was the time,
when you used to be my partner in crime.

Then that someone entered our lives,
never imagined that he will steal you away.

I Kept saying you’re making a mistake,
he will leave you on the way like some useless prey.

So exited with his money and that luxury car,
And now sitting alone in an empty bar.

I know you won’t ask,
But I will still be there.

And will make you once more happy,
With my love and care.

The night will still come,
And again the stars will shine,
That will be the moment darling, when I will make you mine.

No Promise

I don’t promise you to bring any stars so bright,
But I would sing for you in that shiny moonlight.

I won’t promise to give you an umbrella during the rain,
But I would dance with you there like an insane.

I won’t say I will take you to that rockshow,
Rather I would spend some time with you on a mountain filled with snow.

I don’t promise to catch you when you fall,
But I will stand with you until you beat them all.

Despite no such promise, would you still trust me?

Would you sit with me in that moonlight,
Would you allow me to walk with you in that rain,
Would you spend a weekend with me on those lonely hills,
Would you trust me enough to take a leap of faith.

Would you…

You may think that without promises,
this is too much of an asking.
But remember one thing,
That promises are meant to be broken,
But efforts are – Everlasting …

Shikayat

Hum unse kya shikayat karein,

Kasoor to humara tha.

Jis nazar ko hum Ishq samjh bethe,

usey chahiye bas ek sahara tha.

kuch to alag tha uski dabi hui muskaan mein,

varna toote dilo pe marham laganaa humaraa pesha to na tha.

Wahi toota dil juddne ke baad humse muh mod lega,

ye to kabhi socha bhi na tha.

kabhi na jaate unke kareeb, agar ye khyaal kiya hota,

ki ek kalakaar bhi apni krriti ka kabhi haqdaar nahi hota.

Par hum unse kya shikaayat karein,

kasoor to humara tha.

jis nazar ko hum ishq samjh bethe,

usse chahiye bas ek sahara tha.

Toh kya baat hai!

God watching people praying in front of him!

 

Aaj bheed mein khone ko betaab hain sabhi,
Anjaane chehro mein shamil ho jane ko tyaar hai sabhi.

Matlab ke liye apnaya har kisi ne mujhko,
koi bin matlab ke chaahe toh kya baat hai..

Gamm mein toh mujhe yaad kiya har dafa tune,
Duaa bhi aksar sunta aya hun tere se,

kabhi khushi mein bhi shaamil kare to kahu ki wafa ki hai tune..
zara do lafz pyar ke bhi suna jaye toh kya baat hai..

Saamne beth kar to bandgi kare har koii,
par dil se na mujhe maan paya kabhi koi.

Mere hone ka ehsaas to diya kayiyon ne,,
Par mere dikhaye raaste par jo koi chal jaye to kya baat hai..
