Dil Me Hai Ek Baat

Dil me hai ek baat..
Tum pucho toh keh dun….
Khole hum jazbaat..
Tum samjho to keh dun….
Jaane anjaane yun hum tum mil baithe….
Jo karo tum bhi iqraar..
To main bhi Haan keh dun….
Waqt aaj aur abhi hai..
Kal ka kya bharosa..
Shayd main naa rahun….
Dil me hai ek baat..
Tum pucho toh keh dun….

Akele aap yun socha karte hai..
Kya hum bhi aapko yaad karte hain?
Shayad haan…. Shayad naah….
Ek baar chehre se jhuth bhi bolein
Par dil kehta hai sach keh dun….
Hum tumse ehhsaanson ke girafth me bandhe yun..
Ki tum hume humse zyada jaan ne lage ho..
Jhuth lage hum tumhe..
Jo abb bhi Naah keh dun….

To kyun na aake thaam lo hume yun..
Jaise subeh ki dhoop thaame seher ko..
Jaise aag se tapeh badan toh..
Kaano me tumhare yun..
Aah se dheema Haan keh dun..
Dil ki yahi baat tumhe..
Lage jo thodi naram thodi garam..
Yun Aah se dheema Haan keh dun….
Aah se dheema Haan keh dun….

Dreams

Sleepless nights,

The stillness, the chill surrounds me

The warmth of the dream wakes me

I could have done, said so many things

My whole life- unsaid, unspoken silent

As this night

I could have written so many……..‘Yes’

Across the sea, across the winds

Across the sheets of paper

But walked away in anger, in pride

My every ‘yes’ buried deep

As ‘me’ in the sands of time

So many dreams shattered

I walk away in silence

The warmth of the dream

Still surrounds me

Will I ever find it?

May be in another life, another time

In life’s turmoil, tears try to break me,

I walk alone and sad

Only sometimes, the warmth of the dream

Wakes me up….

Surrounds me with all its Feel.
