Kashti…..

Infinity…..

And as she fell on him,
he was bound to her,
Infinity seemed their only home……

कभी आना….

कभी रोशनी बन कर आना तुम,

अंधेरे तो ज़िन्दगी ने बहुत दिए,

आसमान बन कर आना तुम,

दिलासे तो ज़िन्दगी ने बहुत दिए…….

Tasveer

कुछ बात है इन पुरानी पड़ी तस्वीरों में,
वक़्त को थामना सीख लिया है इन्होंने,
वरना क्या मजाल थी यादों की वो पुरानी,
हर तस्वीर जो बता जाती है,
एक चार बाई चार के कागज़ से…….

There is something in these photos,

That lay besides me here,

They have learnt to hold the sands of time,

Memories are powerless even where,

A 4 by 4 photo that brings back to you……

Sound…..

If only sound could travel through nothingness,
We would have known,
The pain the Moon feels,
Distance would never reduce,
Between her and the Earth,
Maybe that’s why its craters,
Tell a story,
Perennial, endless, infinite,
Sound can be underrated sometimes……

Be Human….

Let’s be a little more human than what we already l are…..

I want to live…..

I don’t want to die.

Rather live with you.

Everyday, each moment,

When I get to live two lives,

The one that’s meant for you,

And the one for us,

I want to live with you,

As long as the day shines,

And the days after them….

Alive…

Why do you need me?

The Sun had asked the Earth.

You make me feel alive.

The Earth had answered….

तराज़ू….

वफ़ा की हमारी हमने ना कोई नज़्म दी थी,
ज़माना क्या बैमान हुया था जिस दिन,
अपने तो तराज़ू में इस नाचीज़ को तोल दिया था…
