Koi hai..?
Koi hai….?

Kaun hai yeh log,
jo meri khayal karte hain? Kyun karte hain?
Aankhon mein narmi, baaton mein meethas..
Mujhe dekh kar haste hain, rote hain..
Kitne mushkilonse ladte hue, karte hain pyaar se vyavahaar..
Kabhi kabhi poochna chahti hoon,
Weh mujhse khush hai ke naraaz hain..

Ghum hun mein kitne din, kitne lamhe
Chaah kar bhi shabdon se keh nahi sakti..
Ki mein kya mehsoos kar rahi hoon..
Phir aisi hi dhun mein kho jati hun..
Sochna kya hai.. samajhna kya hai..
Mein khaun hun, kyun mein yahan hun..

Phir aajati hai nayi din.. dekhti hun vahi log..
Pehchani si hai aur ajnabee bhi
Bataana chahti hun apni mann ki duvidha..
Dikhana chahti hun kitni hun ehsan mand..

Magar waqt guzarta hai, chupke se.. nishabdh hue..
Dundte hue yeh baat,
Ki mein kahan hun, akeli kyun hun..

Bahut baar dil gabrata hai, javaab dundte hue..
Ankhon se pukarta hai..
Koi hai..?
Koi hai...?

Dead lilies

A leaf flutters on a dirt road,
Sunlight sweeps the town gold,
They wake up all holy and old,
It's just another time, just another day.

The wind saw them black and bold,
Leaving the place red and cold.
There she was, hugging one of her blood,
Murmuring words, brushing off the mud.

"Oh my child, sweet lil' thing,
Come home soon to your swing,
Merry you be, and I will sing,
Precious love, you are everything. "

"Let's catch the butterflies in the rain,
Or play the latest video game.
But you grow wise with no shame,
Make us proud with your name."

So she goes on with her whispers,
Trying to say it all that matters.
The wind is still mute to all the chatters,
Witness to one of the history's chapters.

In their arms the angels sway,
Hands get cold as they are taken away,
Emptying dreams now they lay,
But it's just another time, just another day.

Joy

Flowers are buzzed

Trees are fuzzed

And the sky is just too high.

The wind hugs in joy

To make the lil' bee coy.

The feelings are passed on,

Every moment to catch on.

Sailing through the streets,

lost in dreams I might.

It's a pleasant sunny day

And it feels just right.

Blue Peace

Take a dip in the honey of joy,

Be the lightest cloud flying the pale blue sky,

Feel the cool breeze on the ocean side,

Hope you remember me while you glide.

Waiting to drink together a cup of tea,

With love that goes beyond infinity...
