Yesterday you called me shallow for not reflecting your image,

And I remember the day when you called me empty

Because I showed you your real face…

Ruki ruki si zindagi, ruke ruke se hum....

ruka ruka sa waqt hai, ruke ruke kadam ...

Teri aankho me tera aks meri tasveer ban ke tha,

main jab bhi mili tumse, aaina ban ke mili

Ankahee

Nam si bayaar me bhi kyo ek aag hai chhupi
Jane ye bunde os hai ya roya hai koi

Khamoshi me kyo shor si awaz hoti hai
Jane khayal kiska hai sone nahi deta

Chup chap yaha log sare jeete bewajah
Is bheed me kisi ka koi naam nahi hai

Benaam main bhi ho ke kahi kho gayi agar
Jugnoo ke peeche chal ke mujhe dhundhne aana

Gar na milu to bhi na bhulna meri yade
Subah nahi to raat ke darwaze milungi…

Humsaya

Koi saye ka daman tham ke chalta hai kahi
Humne parchaiyo ke pheeche safar mapa hai…

Koi kadmo ke nishan kabhi mile hi nahi
Jaise pairo ko badalo se aaj dhaapa hai

Jhoko ke saath ud na jaye kahi humsaya
Humne parchayi ko resham se aaj bandha hai

Kachche dhago ki tarah kachchi samajh bhi hai abhi
Kaise batlaye is safar ka kya irada hai

Rehna chup chap tum bhi meri tarah subah tak
Raat ke saath aaj guftgu ka vada hai…

Tum na chal payo mere saath to bhi gam hai nahi
Meri tanhai teri dosti se jada hai

Crossroads

Some day at the dusk of life
I want to be on crossroads with you again
This time to chose the same way...

Our tryst in my dreams
Long after you said goodbye
Were small and beautiful
Sweet as our love was when it was still there
Holding hands once again
Walking together on a rain drenched lane

Hands in hands we sit on a bench
My head on your shoulders,
Dreams in my eyes
And in my dream I dreamt of togetherness
One that lasts forever
But forever is a dream
I don’t even have today

And just as I was to kiss you,
Night gave way to the day.
My dream was shattered without a sound
A meek cry from my heart went unheard…

Slowly as realty overshadows dreams,
I wake up too tired to start a day
Unable to leave the bed which is still drenched
with your thoughts
And with the rain I dreamt of

I toss and turn on my bed
Praying for the night to come back
I want to sleep again
To have that dream back in my eyes
To live with you again

But neither dreams nor you
Are ever to come back
A tear filled adieu to my night I bid
A sorrowful greeting to the day

And then I pour the blood of my heart
To a prayer
For once I want to meet you again
Just as we met before
Walk on the same roads
Holding hands

On the cross roads of life once again
Come to me my love
This time I will lead the way
And neither you nor I will cry ever again.
