As you walked away today..

As you walked away today..

I felt your steps slowing down a little

For a moment, I wished them to stop and take a turn 

As you walked away today..

I felt my life taking a reverse with its pages flipping backwards 

For a moment, I wished to have all but one of them burn down to ashes

As you walked away today..

I felt a raindrop slowly kissing my cheeks 

For a moment, I wished to have a storm to wash off my flowing despair

As you walked away today..

I felt my vision going blur and hazy

For a moment, I wished to erase the sight by clasping my eyes

As you walked away today..

I felt the wind stopped gushing and earth embracing silence 

For a moment, I wished the heart to switch off its beats and retire in peace at least for a while

As you walked away today..

Lonely

They asked me 'dont you feel alone'?

I said 'why would I, when I have a book in one hand to read from and a pen in the other to write with?'

You

I have loved that 'you' in you, who has never seen the light of the day

I have loved that 'you' in you, who has always opted silence

I have loved that 'you' in you, whose tears I could see across your smiles

I have loved that 'you' in you.. not that you everyone knows

Kaash..

Kaash zindagi ek baar insaaf dilaati,

yeh dil bahut baar toot chuka..

Kaash zindagi ek baar meri baat maan leti,

yeh zubaan bol bol ke thak chuki

Kaash zindagi ek baar palat kar dekhleti,

Yeh nazrein intezaar karkke thak gayii

Chalte Rehna..

Har khoobsurat cheez ko paane ki koshish na kar tu

Bas dil mein aas aur labon pe dua lekkar chalte rehna tu

Aise Din

Aise din kam hi aate hai jismein tum, tum hi rahi ho

Aise din kam hi aate hai jismein tum nahi, tumhari rooh ne baatein ki ho

Aise din kam hi aate hai jo tumne jiya dimaag se nahi, apne dil se ho

My Bird

I had a bird with me all these days, with its feet firmly grasped in my palms.

I wanted to keep him while he wanted to fly and our desires never converged

It always fidgeted trying to free itself, occasionally pricking my skin 

I was in terrible pain and I could see that with him too

Today I noticed he gave up protesting and was calmly resting in my grasp

But his eyes lost that charm.. they were pale and dry 

He wasn't happy neither were I

After a while looking at him, I just loosened my grip, 

But he didn't move, may be in disbelief of an opportunity he thought lost forever

I just patted him and said.. leave now before I close my grip 

He looked at me and unfolded his wings

I stared at the sky till his tiny tail disappeared

A tear just dropped.. I told him waving the final good bye..

I will miss you but today at last, with you, I got my freedom too

Heavy

Day by Day my pillows became heavier, 

because every night I leave a bit of myself with them

Creating Rainbow

 Strive through the storm,

You never know, you may end up creating a Rainbow
