LIFE: a drama

Your life is a drama
You must always be proud of
When you look back at it
As you are the one who writes its script

Through its span
You play numerous games
Some you enjoy
Some you don't
You forget the defeats
And cherish the one's you have won

You pass through many affairs
From cradles to rocking chairs
And as inevitable as it is
Someday it has to end
Your character has to exit
And you cant pretend...

DYING LOVE

When there was no one left around me
Darling you showed the way
You were standing with me
When even my shadow betrayed

I was lost and lonely
And then you happened to me
You were still holding
When everyone was walking away

But those days were long back
Now you are drifting away
Love is long gone
Darling don't you pretend
Oh!! don't you pretend

Love is a deadly poison
And it kills you slow
Nothing lasts forever
I should have known

What even hurts me more
That its ending this way
But if everyone gets heaven
What will happen to hell..!!

APOLOGY

Once again I write to you
This one is for how I have been to you
I don't know if I can apologize to you
But now this is all I can say to you

All those silly things I did
One moment I was good
The other I was mad
One night I said I love you
The next morning I treated you bad

My mind is an angry storm
But my heart is cold when you are gone
I can see my mistakes everywhere
But please don't leave me
You are special and rare...

तेरी आँखें

इन्हें देखता हूँ 
तो ठेहेर सा जाता हूँ मैं 
सोचता हूँ इनमें छिपे जज़्बात लिखूं 
या खूबसूरत शाम के बाद छाई 
कोई काली घनेरी रात लिखूं 

पलकें उठा कर जब देखती हो 
मानो ऐसा लगता है 
कुछ केहना चाहती हो तुम्हारी नज़र 
मगर फिर गुमसुम सी रह जाती हो 
सोचता हूँ इनहे हसीन अंदाज़ लिखूं 
या असीम गहराई में छिपे 
प्रशांत-ए-राज़ लिखूं 

इनमे झाँको तो एक आग दिखाई देती है 
यूँ लगता है के मानो खुद को जल रहीं हों 
सोचता हूँ इन्हें एक मशाल लिखूं 
पर फिर इनकी 'माया' में खो जाता हूँ 
तुम्ही मुझे बता दो के मैं क्या लिखू
