When Ever I feel her around.................

When Ever I feel her around...............................

The glory on her face takes me abound, When ever I see her around,
I do not meet her often, but always remain filled with emotion;
“Eimilie” comes the reply when I ask her name for the first time,
I wonder, when someone smiles, why only she comes to my mind.

The innocence was at the peak, or I was thinking weak,
Why my heart asks me to listen to only the words she speak?
I feel anxious; always see a light in the darkness prevalent all around,
Her Beauty speaks for itself; her voice calms me down.

No Wonder, wanted to capture every moment spent with her,
No Wonder, wanted to listen all the things belonging to her.
I never wanted to depart, but time wanted to keep us apart.
No wonder, wanted to ask God, Is any Angel roaming on the earth around?

We hardly spoke, but hardly any word remain unspoken,
I wanted to capture the feelings, but the closeness keeps me in trouble.
What if she remains forever in my memory, only thoughts will keep me alive,
When Ever I feel her around, it makes me lost in my emotions all the time.
It makes me lost in my emotions all the time when ever I turn around.

Dil ka marz...

Dil ke marz ka bus yahi ek fasana hota hai..
Ashq karte hein bayan, Zubaan ko khamosh hona hota hai..
Aashiqi mein takleef kuchh nahin yaron..
Bus dard be-panah aur anjaam janaza hota hai...

Youn hi koi...

Youn to koi tanha nahin hota,
Chaah kar bhi koi judaa nahin hota...
Kuchh to majboori rahi hogi unki bhi,
Youn hi koi bevafaa nahin hota...

Daag gum ka...

Daag gum ka dil se mitaya na gaya..
humne laakh chaha par bhulaya na gaya,
koi puchhe unse ki wo khud ruthe hain,
ya hum se manaaya na gaya...

Dil mein rahe...

Woh mile humko kahani bankar...
Dil mein rahe pyar ki nishani bankar...
Hum jinhe jagah dete hain aankhon ke andar,
Woh aksar nikal jaate hain paani bankar...

Khadey hein raah mein...

Khadey hein raah mein, intezaar hai tera..
Kabhi to aaoyge, aisa yakeen hai mera..
Chahey guzre jawaani saari,
Chaahat no hogi kum, aisa pyaar mera...

Vaadey bhi kya khoob nibhaaye...

Vaadey bhi sanam ne kya khoob nibhaaye,
Dard muft mein, zakhm tohfey mein bhijvaaye..
Iss se badh kar kya hogi wafaa ki misaal,
Maut se pehle hi wo kafan le aaye...

Nostalgiaaa...

Our college main building, the bride! ... 80+ and still SEXY!!
[Since the British rule]




Library, the karma bhoomi!... was supposed to be a place for studying.. yeah I used to study 'Femina' religiously ;-) ... Managed to pass just coz of this monument, and obviously my friends ;-)




The then top notch Mavaalis in today's top notch companies!... We might look decent but looks can be deceiving ;-)
[Republic day parade... all that pain in chilling weather?... I still can't believe I made it, that too early in the morning... No point telling where I am]




Now that's called HOLI! [Well, me in full white with RED face... STOP LAUGHING, will you??..]




Then... [Yeah, that was me only... digest it with a Hajmola]




And now :-)

You can't..

You can't buy love... but... you pay heavily for it.

Too late...

Too naive to say I'm sorry
Too stubborn to be wrong
I'm so tired of lying
And pretending to be strong

Too confused to say I love you
Too late to wonder why
So worried that you'll leave
It's too soon to say goodbye

A simple thought, a vision
of you walking out that door
Shattered smile
Transparent tears
That I've never seen before

Step by step I'm breaking down
As you slowly disappear
Too traumatized to follow
and say three words you long to hear

The room is now so silent
except for tears that hit the floor
You expected so much love from me
Sorry I couldn't give you more

Looking out the window
For one last glimpse before we're through
Whispered those words with a tear filled voice...
It's too late, but..
I love you

Tere naam se...

Jab bhi tere bina raat hoti hai,
Deewaron se aksar baat hoti hai..
Sannata poochhta hai sawaal humse,
Tere naam se hi shuruwaat hoti hai...

Aapke kaam aa jaye...

Kaun jane kab maut ka paigaam aa jaye,
Zindagi ki akhari shaam aa jaye,
Hum toh dhundhte hain waqt aisa jab,
Hamari zindagi aapke kaam aa jaye...

Hosh nahin aaya hai...

kisi ki mohabbat se humne kya paya hai,
raat ki neend or din ka chain ganwaya hai..
kya karien hum is dil ka,
jise aaj toot kar bhi hosh nahi aaya hai...

Ek roz...

Ek roz kuchh aisa hua
Dard ka kaafila nikla aur yaadein aatin rahin...
Din dhalney ka ilm na hua
Hum baithe rahey akele aur lehrein aatin rahin...
[The picture is a beautiful beach at Mangalore]

Tum kyon chale aatey ho...

Ekbaar hamara aansun hamse poochh baitha "Humein roz roz kyun bulaate ho?" Hum ne kaha, "Hum yaad to unhin ko karte hain, tum kyun chale ate ho??"

Tujhse mile ik zamana hua...

Tujhse mile ik zamana hua,
Maikhane jane ka bahana hua..

Jaam jab saaki ne pilaya apne haathon se,
ek muddat ke baad mera hosh mein aana hua..

Sheeshe mein dekha,ik ajnabi tha saamne,
tere ishq mein kaisa main khud se begaana hua..

Zikr fir tera aaya,jab chala daur-e-jaam,
lutna fir shuru mere ashqon ka khazana hua..

Socha teri yaad ko pi jaaoon jaam mein ghol kar,
yaadein aati rahin magar band maikhana hua..

Girte lad-khadate ja pahuncha tere darwaaze tak,
jo purane zakhmon ne di duhai, na fir mujhse khat-khata-ana hua...

Ishq wo dariya hai...

ishq wo dariya hai jiska sahil nahi hota
har dil pyar ke kabil nahi hota
rota wo bhi hai jo duba ishq ke sagar mein
aur wo bhi jise ishq hasil nahi hota...

Itna pyaar kyon hai...

Ek ajnabi se mujhe itna pyaar kyon hai,
Inkar karne par bhi chaahat ka ikraar kyon hai,
Use paana nahin meri taqdeer mein
Phir bhi har mod pe usi ka intezaar kyon hai...

1. You are 'woman' handled with punches/pinches if you do annnything
2. You are 'woman' handled with punches/pinches even if you DON'T do anything [Yeah buddy, there's no escape. Get used to it. Sooner the better]
3. She helps you out with a glass of cold milk (even sugar churned by means of Mixy.. heights of lazyness) with which you could have done wonders otherwise, even if you are a guy [Though what I had, turned out to be reeeal good ;)]
4. You look dumb [No matter what you wear]
5. You are an Idiot [...for no apparent reason and just coz she said. Better agree to it or get ready for points 1 and 2 stated above... If by now you are used to it then no probs :)...(I learnt to live with it the very first day:)]
6. All conversations start with "You better..." and end with "Thanks but no thanks" [..Well thats self explanatory..]
7. (Keeping in view above stated points and you considering improvement [according to her] as an option) Instead of asking her whats weird/wrong in you, rather ask what's good/ok in you [It would be over with just one word.."NOTHING"... This helps save time and energy at both ends]

...kyon hoti hai?..

Yeh raat itni tanha kyun hoti hai,
Kismat se apni sabko shikaayat kyun hoti hai,
Jise hum pah nahi sakte,
Usi se mohabbat kyun hoti hai?...

Nakaam si koshish...

Nakaam si koshish kiya karte hain
Hum hain ki unse pyar kiya karte hain
Khuda ne takdir me ek tuta taara nahi likha,
Aur hum hain ki chaand ki aarzu kiya karte hain...

Bahut shor...

Bahut shor suntey they pehlu mein dil ka
Jo kaata, to katra khoo'n na nikla...
--- Galib

Aaj...

Aaj dekha wo chehra jaana pehchaana..
Khwaabon mein tha jiska aana jaana..
Door se hi wo salam kar gaye..
Dhadkanein humaari benaam kar gaye...

Badi muddat se...

Badi muddat se chaaha tha tujhe..
Baad duaon ke, paaya tha tujhe..
Tujhe bhulaane ki sochun bhi to kaise,
Kismat ki lakiron se churaaya the tujhe...

Na rok sake...

Kabhi aisa bhi hoga, hum soch na sake
Jise chaaha, uske hum ho na sake
Laakh koshish baavjood aankhein num thin
Rokna tha usko aur khud hi ko na rok sake...

Kal fir...

Kal fir kisi ki yaad taaza ho gai,
Laga aisa jaise zindagi apni zaaya ho gai..
Aayaton ki jageh lete the naam jiska,
Uske liye ab vo puraani baat ho gai...

Love..

Love is giving someone the power to destroy you.. but trusting them not to...

Kya khuda bhi uska tha?...

Manzilein bhi uski thin, raasta bhi uska tha;
Ek hum hi akele they, kafilaa bhi uska tha;
Saath chalne ki soch bhi uski, fir raasta badalne ka faisla bhi uska tha;
Aaj akele hain...dil savaal karta hai...
Log to uske they, ...kya khuda bhi uska tha?

... de di...

Meri chaahat ne use khushi de di,
Badle mein usne mujhe sirf khamoshi de di..
Khuda se dua maangi marne ki,
Lekin usne bhi tadapne ke liye zindagi de di...

Koi baat nahin...

Yehi wafaa ka silaa hai, to koi baat nahi..
Yeh dard tum ne diya hai, to koi baat nahi..
Rakha tha aashiyana-e-dil main chhupa ke tumko,
Woh ghar tumne chhod diya hai to koi baat nahi..
Tum hi ne aaena-e-dil mera banaya tha,
Tum hi ne tod diya hai to koi baat nahi..
Kiski majaal kahe koi mujh ko deewana,
Agar yeh tumne kaha hai to koi baat nahi...

Nishaani

Tum badle, jahaan badla,
Badli nazar zamane ki..
Ye aansu chaar baaqi reh gaye,
Nishani dil lagane ki...

Dil ne...

Ishq ka qasoor nahin, aashiq dil ne maara hai..
Ishq to hai paas mere, dil mera aawara hai..
Ab judai sahi na jaye, maut mujhe gawaara hai..
K ab aa bhi jao, dil ne tumhein pukaara hai...

Inspiration: Alisha's song

Still in love with you...

Sitting alone, thoughts running by fast,
My mind drifts off to think of the past.
That very first moment that our eyes met,
My heart skipped a beat that I’ll never forget.

Our first kiss we shared, stars shining above,
Lips touching at last, hearts falling in love.
I knew from the start that you were “The One,”
The moment we met’s when my life begun.

Together Forever, we always would say,
I can’t understand how that faded away.
Now we’re “just friends,” so far apart,
Yet I can't deny what I feel in my heart.

We care for each other so much, I know,
But I can’t bring myself to let this show...

With all my heart, I wish you knew,
I'm hopelessly still in love with you...

I know things can't be changed now,
I just wish all the happiness to you...

Na jaane kyon...

Kyon rakhun main ab apni kalam mein syahi,
Jab koi arman dil me machalta hi nahin..
Na jaane kyon sabhi shak karte hein mujh par,
Jab koi sukha phool meri kitab mein milta hi nahin..
Kashish to bahaut thi mere pyaar mein magar,
Kya karun wo pathar dil pighalta hi nahin..
Agar khuda mile to us se apna pyaar mangunga,
Par suna hai woh marne se pehle milta hi nahin....

Dosti ho gai...

Dard se dosti ho gayi yaaron..
Zindagi bedard ho gayi yaaron..
Kya hua jo jal gaya aashiyana hamara,
Door tak roshni to ho gayi yaaron....

Ek pal mil jaye...

Gum apne hi hein paraye nahin,
Magar unke liye voh banaye nahin,
Unhe mil jaye humare hisse ki khushiyaan,
Sirf ek pal mil jaaye jab unki yaad sataye nahin...

Voh khat..

Unki yaad mein bahae aansuon se sajaaya tha voh khat..
Aur unhone kaha, k humne kuchh likha hi nahin...

Tadap ke dekh zara...

Tadap ke dekh zara kisi ki chaahat mein,
To pata chale intzaar kya hota hai..
Yuon hi mil jaye gar koi bina tadpe,
To kaise pata chale pyaar kya hota hai...

Ye hai Mangalore meri jaan ;)

M'lore :)
I have already said a lot about the place and now even TIME covers it ;)
http://www.time.com/time/asia/covers/501060619/mangalore.html

And yeah... my office :)

Hum hi honge...

Tumko Chahne wale kam na honge,
Waqt ke saath magar ham na honge,
Apna pyaar chaahe kisi ko bhi dena,
Par teri yaad ke hakdaar humin honge...

Rone laga hai...

Dard ko bhi ab dard hone laga hai
Dard apne zakhmo ko dhone laga hai
Dard ko paaker hum to nahi roye
Dard hamein paaker rone laga hai...

Maalum hai...

Mujhe dard-e-ishq ka maza maalum hai,
Dard-e-dil ki inteha maalum hai,
Zindagi me kabhi muskurane ki dua na dena,
Mujhe pal bhar muskurane ki saza maalum hai...

..ussi se..

aankhon mein aansoo aajaate hein,
phir bhi labon pe hansi rakhni padti hai..
yeh mohabbat bhi kya cheez hai,
jisse pyar karte hein ussi se chhupaani padti hai...

Fariyaad karoge tum...

Dil jo tootega to fariyaad karoge tum,
Hum na rahe to yaad karoge tum,
Aaj toh kehte ho, waqt nahin,
Par ek din mere liye waqt se fariyad karoge tum...

Tenu mil jaave...

Tenu mil jaavey mehak mohabbtan di,
saade hisse gham da jehar hovey..
Tu chumda rahe mukh khushian da,
sade vehre hanjuan di nehar hovey..
Tenu yaad rave na naam saada,
assi bhuleye rabb da kehar hovey..
Tere kadma vich hovey sir saada,
saade mathe tera paar hovey...

Koi baat na hoti...

kudrat ke karishmo mein agar raat na hoti,
khwabon mein bhi unse mulaqat na hoti..
yeh dil hi to hai har gum ki vajah,
yeh dil hi na hota to koi baat na hoti...

Pyaar ki baazi...

raat kya dhali sitaare chale gaye..
gairo se kya gila karein jab apne chale gaye..
jeet to hum bhi sakte the PYAAR ki baazi,
par unhein jitaane ke liye hum haarte chale gaye...

...rehne diya

wo lamhe wo vaadey sab bhula diye,
par saanson mein naam rehne diya..
khat saarey jalaa diye,
par pata uska rehne diya...

Kya kahein...

Khamosh palkon se jo aansu beh aate hein,
Kisey kya kahein k hum kidhar ko jaate hein..
Aaj bhi us mod par khade hein,
Jahan usne kaha k thehro hum abhi aate hein...

Tab tak rahoge yaad...

Tumko bhool jaaun ye naamumkin si baat hai,
Tumko na ho yakeen ye aur baat hai..
Jab tak rahegee saans tab tak rahoge yaad,
Ye saans toot jaye to aur baat hai...

Uska pyaar...

Sabne kaha pyaar ek dard hai
Humne kaha ye dard kabool hai
Sabne kaha is dard ke saath jee nahi paaoge
Humne kaha uske pyaar ke saath marna bhi kabool hai

Ehsaas

Ho sakta hai usne anjane mein hamein rula diya,
Unhone duniya ke kehne pe humko bhula diya..
Hum to waise bhi akele the,
Kya hua gar unhone ehsaas dila diya....

Khwaab...

Khwaab tute hue dil dukhaate rahe,
der taq voh hume yaad aate rahe,
kaat lee aansuon me judaai ki raat,
sher kehte rahe, gane gungunaate rahe...

Tere jalwe paraaye hue magar gum nahi,
ye tassalli bhi apne liye kam nahi,
humne tumse kiya tha jo wafa ka vaada,
saans jab taq chali , hum nibhaate rahe...

Kisko mujrim kahein ab karein kya gilaa,
rishta tuta na unki na meri thi razaa,
apni qismat me kabhi voh thi hi nahi,
khwaab palko pe jiske sajaate rahe...

...nahin karta

Lafzon se mein kuchh bhi izhaar nahin karta
Is ka matlab yeh nahi mein usse pyaar nahin karta
Chahta hoon mein usey aaj bhi magar
Ab pyaar apna jataaya nahin karta
Tamasha na ban jaye kahin meri sacchi mohobbat ka
Isliye dard apna zaahir nahin karta
Jo kuch mila hai usi mein khush hun mein
Uske liye khuda se baar baar taqraar nahin karta
Par kuch to baat hai iski fitrat mein zalim warna
Usey chahne ki khata bar bar nahin karta...

Fir rula diya...

uski yaad ne mujhe phir rula diya,
kaisi hai vo zalim jisne ye sila diya..
do shabd likhne ka salika na tha mujhe,
aur aaj uski mohabbat ne shayar bana diya...

Aisa yaar...

Beshsak thoda intzaar mila humko,
Magar khuda se badhkar yaar mila humko..
Tammanna na rahi kisi jannat ki ab,
Tumhaari dosti se wo pyaar mila humko...

Bool se bhi...

Bhool kar ke bhool se bhi gar koi bhool ho jaye humse,
To usey bhool samajh kar bhula dena..
Magar bhulaana sirf bhool ko,
Bhool se bhi kahin humein na bhula dena...
--- Fanah

Ek he pal mein...

ek he pal mein unhone zindgi sanwaar de,
ek he pal mein unhone zindgi ujaard de..
kasoor unka nahi kasoor humaara tha,
jo do he palon mein humne zindgi guzaar de...

Myself at Ooty..

;) Hope people won't request to change this one atleast

Dua humaari..

Duaon ki bheed mein ek dua hamari,
Jis mein maangi humne har khushi tumhari..
Jab bhi aap muskuraayein dil se,
Samjho dua kabool hui hamari...

I miss you...

You don't know
how much I miss you..
I live each day
as it comes
functioning in all my tasks
smiling when needed
even laughing at times
but inside I am so alone
each minute seems like an hour
each hour seems like a day
What makes this time bearable
are my thoughts of you...

Chup chaap...

Bhari mehfil mein tanha mujhe rehna sikha diya,
Tere pyar ne duniya ko jhoothha kehna sikha diya..
Kisi dard ya khushi ka ehsaas nahin hai ab to,
Sab kucch zindagi mein chup-chaap sehna sikha diya...

Iss dil ko...

Iss dil ko kisi ki aahat ki aas rehti hai..
Nigaah ko kisi soorat ki pyaas rehti hai..
Tere bina zindagi mein kami toh nahi,
Phir bhi tere bina zindagi udhaas rehti hai...

Dard...

Dard ko na dekhiye dard se,
Dard ko bhi dard hota hai..
Dard ko bhi zaroorat hai pyar ki,
Aahir pyar mein dard hi toh hamdard hota hai...

Khud ko...

Hoto pe hansee, par aakhen num rekhte hein,
koi jaan na le, isliye muskaraya karte hein,
Juda hokar bhi humein mohabbat ka ehsaas hai,
Isliye unko khuda aur khud ko bewafa kehte hain...

Mumkin nahin...

Jis shaam mere lab par tera naam na aaye,
Khuda kare aisi shaam na aaye;
E- jaane wafa, ye kabhi mumkin hi nahin,
Afsaana likhun aur tera naam na aaye...

Yaadon ki dhund...

Yaadon ki dhund main teri parchai si lagti hai
Sannatay main goonjti hui shahnnai si lagti hai
Tum kareeb ho to apna pun hai, warna..
Seenain main saansain bhi parai si lagti hain...

God's own country...

7:30am bus or 8:00? The confusion still prevailed. Nevertheless I was heading for Jyoti circle and was sure to reach by 8:00 only. This left me with only one option.
It wasn’t the first time I was on my way to Kerala, God’s own country as they call it. I was surely excited for a number of reasons. It had left an enchanting effect during my last visit and the memories shot back as I boarded the express. Memories, most of them sweeter than the honey itself.
I had been to n number of places in India. Be it the barrens of Rajasthan, tribal jungles of Jharkhand (formerly Bihar) or the concretes of Metros including Bhopal, Jaipur, Indore and Gwalior. Needless to mention Delhi, Mumbai or Kolkata. From the violent Meerut & Gaya to the holy waters of Prayag (Allahabad) & Hrishikesh, I had seen it all. I just wonder what’s in this place that it seems to have cast a spell on me. Mangalore’s the place I can never forget throughout my lifetime no matter where I land up. Mangalore, a small city at the Border of Karnataka and Kerala. It’s now famous among my relatives ki “Mangalore aane wala aata apni marzi se hai aur…” If you are thinking about the continuation as “jaata Mangalore ki marzi se” to you are mistaken since “yahan aane wala jaa hi nahin paata hai”.
How true it was. From the window with my head rested over my hand, I could figure out the numerous coconut trees lined up like a huge army. Observing closely would make it clear that it’s more of a thousand windmills defying the mighty wind. It was cool morning breeze with a misty atmosphere and the Sun taking a back seat. A real romantic scene but only memories by the side. That familiar scent of the wet air always tests my capacity to control the emotions.
There was a loud screech of brakes to bring me back to earth. This was nothing new for the express buses here and the next moment it was again at the speed of 60. We moved into an open trench. Very much similar to the ones on the way to Jamshedpur (Jharkhand). Jamshedpur (built by the famous industrialist Ratan Jamshedji Tata), another cool place in the merit list for my taste for places. As a guy, you can very well judge a city by the babes out there at the market place. Surat (Gujarat), surely is in with close competition. Still Mangalore tops my chart coz it’s not always about the hot chicks but about what you discover. I had discovered something invaluable. Something called ‘Love’.
I was definitely in love with the city as people around say. Where can you both trek and surf? Where can you achieve both frolic and peace of mind at the same time? Yes it’s this place only.
By now we had already entered Kerala which was immaterial to me as it’s all the same. They point to the signboards or the writings on the shops while for me there wasn’t any difference in the font even. Kerala had been the largest share holder in the tourism industry for India (until recently when the post was taken over by Rajasthan).
After Uppala and Kumbla came Kasargod. The place I hear a lot about gold and jewelry. I took an auto and was surprised to see no meter around. When asked about the fare to Geeta theatre it came to just 10 bucks and all my concerns for being fooled out were gone as it’s supposed to be the minimum charge. Later I realized that you can go to the extreme end of Kasargod in Rs 10 itself :( Finally I arrived at a house wherein she was waiting. What all happened after that can be aptly explained with the following lines…

Kitni jaldi mulakat guzar jaati hai…
Pyaas bujhti nahin baarish guzar jaati hai…
Apni yadon se keh do is tareh na aaya karein,
Neend aati nahin raat guzar jaati hai…

--- Pramod

Hadd...

Dil diya, aetbaar ki hadd thi..
Jaan de di, ye mere pyaar ki hadd thi..
Mar kar bhi aankhein khuli reh gayin,
Aur kuchh nahin, ye tere intzaar ki hadd thi...

Give me back...

Give me your deepest morning hug
When the sun shines on our bed
Give me the strength of your love
All the words that you never said

Give me back my fantasy dreams with you
Touch me with the same soft caress of yours
Give me every moment that I shared with you
When all glumness flew off in a single whew

Give me those addictive warm smiles
the crescent of your shining rosy lips
Give me that tender look of sparkle eyes
Your moon face that drabbed the blue skies

Give me all those precious memories
fire of love that my heart always lights
Give me back the golden days of pure love...

Shayad mujhe...

Zindagi jaise ek sazaa si ho gai hai,
Gum ke sagar mein is kadar kho gai hai,
Tum aa jaao vapis yeh gujaarish hai meri;
Shaayad mujhe, tumhaari aadat si ho gai hai...

Ye zindagi...

yun to zindagi mein hazar wajeh hai muskuraney ke liye,
hum muskurate hain bus apna ghum chupaney ke liye..

buhat se hal e dil hain is zindagi mein sunaney ke liye,
magar zaban jab uthti hai to kuch na hota batane ke liye..

kisi ki aankhoo ki nami hoti hai hal e dil samjhaney ke liye,
sochtey hain kitne samandar hain is mein bahane ke liye..

zindagi mein buhat se ghum miltey hain saataney ke liye,
k ghum bhi zaroori hota hai is zindagi ke fasaane ke liye....

I wish...

I wish I could be your tear drop, for what more could anybody ask for then to be concieved in your heart, born in your eyes, live on your cheeks and die on your lips...

Kitni jaldi...

Kitni jaldi mulaakaat guzar jaati hai...
Pyaas bujhti nahin, barsaat guzar jaati hai...
Apni yaadon se keh do is tareh na aaya karein...
Neend aati nahin, raat guzar jaati hai...

Ek chand sa dost...

E- khuda apne chand par gurur na kar!
Ek chand sa dost hum bhi rakhte hain..
Jab tareef hoti hai tumhare chand ki,
Log misaal mere dost ki diya karte hain!!

Love of my life..

You're the love of my life,
the one I never thought I'd find,
I think about you always,
I can't get you off my mind,

the days go by,
and you're not here,
I long for the moment,
when I can hold you near,

time drags on,
ever so slow,
I love you my darling,
and I need you so,

I wish you were here,
holding me close,
the warmth of your touch,
is what I miss the most,

I lie here in bed,
thinking of you,
I never imagined,
I could feel so blue,

these thoughts that I have,
they cut like a knife,
because I miss you so much,
the Love of my life...

Ye kaisa dard hai...

Na koi tasveer unki jo deedaar kiya jaye..
Na woh paas hein jo pyaar kiya jaye..
Ye kaisa dard diya hai usne..
Na kuchh kaha jaye na us bina jiya jaye...

Can't live...

I searched through books,
and I leafed through cards..
For words that would convey,
what I had in my heart..
But when I sat down to write,
all I could write was,
I can't live without you...

Darte hein...

Zamane se nahi, tanhai se darte hein,
Pyaar se nahi, ruswaai se darte hein,
Milne ki umaang bahut hai dil mein,
Lekin milne ke baad ki judaai se darte hein...

Ab hum...

Ab hum haseenon ka deedar nahin karte,
Haal-e-dil kisi pe zahir nahin karte...
Yaadon se hi rishta reh gaya humara,
Aansu aa kar bhi sharmsaar nahin karte...

I dream of you...

So restless at night, when I dream of you
I open my eyes, hoping it came true.
It didn’t again so with tears in my eyes
I hold my pillow to soften the cries.

But distance means nothing in love that’s true
And though I long for one touch from you.
I squeeze that pillow while we’re apart,
You still hold me, you still hold my heart...

Aapse...

Koi gila koi shikva na rahe aapse,
Ye aarzu hai ek silsila rahe aapse...
Bus is baat ki badi ummeed hai,
Khafa na hona gar hum khafa rahein aapse...

Remember me...

When life's a struggle
And the world gets you down
Just remember the one
Who turned your life around

When you think no one cares
And no one could understand
He will be here waiting
Just to hold your hand

When you feel so neglected
And you feel so alone
You feel so unwanted
In every fiber of your bones

Remember the one
Who told you he cared
The one who promised you
To hold you when your scared

Remember the times
That you cried together
And somehow just doing that
Made everything seem better

So if tomorrow morning you wake up
And the darkness doesn't let you see
Just Remember the one who loved you
Just Remember Me...

Tujhe yaad karenge...

Tamanaon mein bhi tujhe yaad karenge...
Teri har baat par aetbaar karenge....
Tujhe milne ko to nahin kahenge...
Par phir bhi tera intezaar karenge...

Humne maanga...

Humne maanga saath unka,
Wo judaai ka ghum de gaye...
Hum yadon ke sahare ji lete,
Wo bhool jaane ki kasam de gaye...

Kuchh is kadar...

Kuchh is kadar wo mujhe yaad aati hai,
Hothon pe hunsi, aankhon mein aansu saath laati hai...
Jitna bhulaoon usey, utna wo mujhe sataati hai,
Meri har ik aah par wo ji bhar muskaati hai...
Aasaan nahin us bin jeena, har pal yahi jataati hai,
Yahan, wahan, jahan dekhoon bus wo hi nazar aati hai...
Kuchh is kadar wo mujhe yaad aati hai...
- PS Ashiq

Tera naam...

Ret par naam koi kabhi likhte nahin,
Ret par likhe naam kabhi tik-te nahin...
Sab kehte hein patthar dil ho tum,
Par patthar pe likhe naam kabhi mit-te nahin...

Kaash...

Kaash ye dil sheeshey ka bana hota...
Chot lagti to beshak ye fanah hota...
Par suntey jab wo aawaz iske tootney ki,
Yaa khuda tab to unhein ehsaas-e-gunaah hota...

Tab tak...

Tab tak pyaar na karo jab tak pyaar aapse pyaar na karey...
Agar pyaar aapse pyaar karey to pyaar ko itna pyaar do,
ki pyaar kisi aur se pyaar na karey...

Takdeer...

Chehre pe ashko ki lakir se ban gayee thi,
Jo na chaha tha woh takdir ban gayee thi,
Humne to chalai thi ret pe ungliyaan,
Gaur se dekha to teri tasweer ban gayee thi...

We know...

We always know that looking back on the tears would make us laugh...
But we never know that looking back on the moments we laughed together would make us cry...

The Stranger in the mirror

I was already late for office today and to add pain to sorrow, I realized I’m still to shave off myself. An ‘Australopithecus’ is too embarrassing as a comment to digest. I hurriedly went through the painful task. As I washed the soap from my face, I was surprised to see somebody else in the mirror. The face seemed vaguely familiar and I was having a tough time recollecting it. When asked who it is, the fellow just smiled which definitely carried a deep meaning in the small curve. The mirror seemed to blur. You are right... The same way as they show in Bolly movies to indicate flashback...

Since yesterday it had been full of surprises. I was watching TV. Something which I was allergic to, since childhood. Think the reason lies in the definition itself. What is a TV? A TV is an electronic device which ‘does not’ store data or information. The definition might sound familiar even to a school going kid new to learning computers. This was the time when my mobile started making its presence felt. I was surprised, shocked, moved, etc, etc. I couldn’t mistake the voice at the other end. The compressions of her voice remind me as if I’m talking to a woman of age nearing 35 and the rarefactions as if I’m talking to a kid of 16 (excuse me for the so called scientific terms since sound is a latitudinal wave). Whatever the condition is, you can feel the ripples the same way you feel the plain thin waves touching your feet at the shore side. In all, put together with the content, its always pleasing to hear from her. It left a smile on my face which existed for a long time even after the line went dead. I couldn’t stop murmuring my favorite lines:

“lamha lamha intzaar kiya, jis ek lamhey ke liye...
wo lamha aaya bhi to,
bus ek lamhey ke liye...”

All the memories of Mangalore right from Day1 flashed in front of me. I just wondered what’s the state we have reached. Today we need to ‘find’ time for our near and dear ones.

The second surprise came in the form of a missed call as a result of my talking to the first. It was she who had lost contact with me for almost a year. Particularly since the day she was about to be engaged. I was getting regular news from a friend of her. I knew this would happen. People are supposed to devote their 100% to their married life. But it was a wake up call for me when one of my real close friends played a joke on me by pretending that she’s getting married. Though she had no idea what impact it would have on me. I learnt something which was very difficult for me to implement and I learnt it the hard way... ‘Keeping things to myself’. It’s well said among shayars:

“shero shayari karne se kya fayada...
Ghum hai jo dil mein, batane se kya fayada...”

Seems to be an irony though.
I was too attached to her to survive loosing contact and I needed to improve. What I fear is something which is inevitable…

People had started remembering me all of a sudden. Top it all, all at the same time. That was too much to accept. Mankind has always fancied the idea of a time machine. What they fail to realize is that God has already created one, with an unalterable velocity (both in magnitude and direction... excuse me again for my science but couldn’t find a better isotope of the word). I always wish if I could turn the mighty wheels back to my beautiful past. Right now its just me and The Stranger in the mirror...

Whats Love?..

Love is like a relationship between the Eye and the Hand.
If the Hand gets hurt, the Eye cries...
And if the Eye cries, the Hand wipes off the tears...

Meri khaamoshi...

Wo dard hi kya jo aankho se beh jaye,
Wo khushi hi kya jo hoto pe rah jaye...
Kabhi to samjho meri khamoshi ko,
Wo baat hi kya jo alfaz aasani se keh jaye...

Wo sochtey hein...

Aasuon se humne jo palkein bhigoae nahin...
Wo sochte hein ke hum roae nahi...
Poochhte hein ke khwaabon mein kisey dekhtey ho,
Aur ek hum hein, jo arsey se soae nahi....

I remember...

I remember when I met you
the smile on your face,
Seems like a million years ago -
a different time and place

I remember when I kissed you
the warmth inside my heart,
I thought it'd last a lifetime
I swore we'd never part

I thought about the future
I started making plans,
Forever you'd be my woman
forever I'd be your man

We went together places
so that everyone could see,
The women that I want to share
the rest of my life with me

I told you that I loved you
I told you that I cared,
I told you if you were falling
just look back and I'd be there

I know I didn't have all the answers
sometimes I only guessed,
But, through it all I have to say
"I always tried my best"

I wasn't always perfect
I wasn't always right,
I know sometimes I wasn't
even worthy in your sight

I know I took for granted
the love you had to share,
All I ever wanted was
for you to know I cared

Our lives have changed directions
as sometimes lovers do,
Often time and change
and pave a path that's new

Sometimes I often wondered
just what lies ahead,
Sometimes I'd like to turn back time
and take back what I said

We've both gone different places
we've both gone different ways,
I know sometimes I let you down
when trouble came our way

I know sometimes I did things
you didn't comprehend,
But, through the years and all the tears
Our memories will never end....

Yaad teri aati hai...

Raat hui jab shaam ke baad,
Teri yaad aayi har baat ke baad ...
Hamne khamosh rah kar bhi dekha,
Teri awaz aayi har saans ke baad...

Zindagi ka safar...

Saye ki tarah sath rehne wale,
Rishta kuch iss tarah tod gaye...
Hakikat mein milna mumkin na tha,
Khwabon mein aana bhi chhod gaye...
