The Heart, the Mind and Love

Love is poetic
Love is dark
It defies everything; even destiny
Creeping into our heart
With its many rhymes
Slowly taking its own time
        And even in darkness and despair
        The heart is so sweet
        The heart is so pure
         Loving the unmatched
         Carefree in its self absorbed fantasy
         Fervently beating for you
         Pledging not to be
         Forever mine
Through all of this
There are nights
Where you lay awake
For the mind is insane
Drifting along thoughts
Knowing no limits
Lending endless musings
From the heart
And then transform them
Into poems, stories and books
           Love is a tragedy
           Like a wild flower
           That blossoms on its own
            Like the gentle wind
           Caressing your face
           On a cold winter night
            Love is inevitable

You

There are people
Who say are in love
With you
And I can't say
That nobody will love you
Like I do

But with you
I have seen happy days
And there were darker times
That we went through
And may be it is the dark
That has kept me
Close to you

I can't see
What future holds
For you and me
Or where we would be
But today
I am the one for you
To make you smile
To make you fight
To love you

ख्वाबों की पेटी

कुछ ख्वाबों की राख
आज एक पुराने डब्बे में मिली
चंद मुडे पन्ने
उनपे लिखे कुछ नगमे

पहले इश्क़ का इज़हार
कमीनो दोस्तों का प्यार
कुछ हसीन पल
और यादों की बौछार

वो छोटी बातों पे
माशूका का रूठ जाना
उस एक की मुस्कान पे
हज़ारों का मर जाना

जब ज़िन्दगी बड़ी थी
और ख्वाइशें छोटी
इन कत्ल हुए ख्वाबों में
शायद ज़िन्दा हैं कुछ आज भी

एक भीनी सी खुसबू
कुछ आँखों मे नमी
बंद लबों पे ले आते हैं जो
एक प्यारी सी हँसी
