...an evening : low to high...

Silent rain
Escape the rooms
She fulfills the wish

No more silent
I pluck the strings
Welcomed her

Clouds more dark
As her friends followed
Carnival time

Air-condition
Banned, its open air
Swinging in the breeze

Wet leaves
Clung tight, dancing
In the corner

Serving only raindrops
And ginger tea
We all are high

Continues for long
Streets lights joined
Adding some glitter

Muteness of rains
Vanished, now
Drumming the roof

Strings play, but now
On a high note
The rock starts

Sudden voice of
Old classic song
Turns into karaoke night

Into the mood
Voice demands
Glasses of cognac

No alcohol says Him
Its nature's night
Coke on the house

Serving coke
On the rocks
Solves the purpose

Party is paused
Rains had to leave
Confirmed next date


And now that remains
Is the plucked string, and
Latecomer croaking frogs

..kyun...

Kyun milte logon ko

Aur judte hai unse

Kyun hasi hai har baat

Aur rote hai ek saath

Kyun haaton mein haat

Aur dil dhadke raftar

Kyun hai dosti gehri

Aur darr use khone ka

Kyun waqt bitate hai

Aur phir badhta hai intezaar

Kyun yaad aate hai

Aur sochte hai der raat

Kyun chahna bhi hai

Aur dil ki majboori bhi

Kyun dil banaya

Aur sau usool bhi..

...jeene ki aur wajah nahi...

Jeetein hai
Kuch yaadon ki wajah se

Muskurate raho…

Yaadein hai
Kuch khushiyon ki wajah se

Baanto thodi…

Khushi hai
Kuch logon ke wajah se

Thaamo unhe…

Kuch log hai
Uski wajah si

Shukar karo…

...main kaun hoon ?...

SUTRADHAR HOON
Apni zindagi ka
Aur...

JAAN LO
Tumhe bhi nachata hoon
Apni zindagi mein

WAISE HI
Jaise tum chahoge
Humein nachana

...meet and more...

1st Half

With ifs and buts
Finally he decides
DEL to BOM

Had a tiff, week before
Extended with purpose
Sweet chillies

He lands near her
She being unaware
Journey starts with a surprise

Anger waved Bye
Excitement at high
Destiny erased hurdles

Out of words
Only smiles
Instant reactions

First meet of theirs
Walked with the rains
Till the bird arrives

Big bird takes him
But still she dials
Happiness or another secret

The wet road walk
Left footprints
Of the moment shared

Days will pass
Secret will be powered
With every word shared

It's not the distance
But matter of time
For them to meet again…


2nd Half

No more sad-sad
she heads straight
to equal happiness

Grabs a pal
takes a train
Hits the sea

rains being crazy
both pals turn ON
their insane face

clicking snaps
missing faces or arms
laughed out loud

munching some chaat
walked the oozy streets
they hummed old classics

sudden heavy rains
not spoiling the fun
roadside masala chai at rescue

cabbed to the causeway
as close to a
shopping paradise

window shopping
some real pampering
shopping episode paused

never satisfied hearts
went to the Gateway
welcomed again by rains

too easy to convince
rains with its wand
they gave up easily

tacky they were
grabbed another chai
and back to the start

when journeys
are not planned
they work the best...

...toofan...

Toofan hai, Toofan rahega

Dekhoge agar aaina
Toh dikhe tumhe


EK AAG KA SAMUNDAR

Jo chedo usse, jala de
Jo chodo usse, jeene de

Jo bandh lo, toh ubale
Jo khol do, toh tham jaye

Jo jale, toh chalaye
Jo bujh jaye, toh maut hai

EK AAG KA SAMUNDAR

Badlo sau ussool tum
Par yeh to kudrat ka hai


Toofan hai, Toofan rehne do

...life or change...

Words around

however small or big

Change our lives.

People they are

however close or far

Change our lives.

Things they are

Whosever it is

Change our lives.

Actions they are

Whatever they mean

Change our lives.

Incidents happen

Even though good or bad

Change our lives.

Change might change too

learn from it

since its a part of Change.

...humari zindagi...

Aage badho himmat se
Girne ke darr ko mitta ke ll

Masti ke jaal mein phas jaao
khud apne gale milke ll

Doobon is pani mein tum
Gehrayi dhundo apni ll

Aasman banao tum khudka
Ek Zindagi hai sabki ll
