किसी दिन..

चेहरे पे मेरे ज़ुल्फ़ को बिखराओ किसी दिन..
क्या रोज़ गरजते हो, बरस जाओ किसी दिन..
खुशबू की तरह गुजरो मेरे दिल की गली से...
फूलों की तरह मुझ पर बिखर जाओ किसी दिन...
राजों की तरह उतरो मेरे दिल पे किसी शब्....
दस्तक पे मेरे हाथ की खुल जाओ किसी दिन..
में अपनी हर इक सांस उस रात को दे दूँ...
सिर रख के मेरे सीने पे सो जाओ किसी दिन..

कोई जो पूछ ले तुमसे...

कोई जो पूछ ले तुमसे,मोहब्बत की कभी तुमने?
मुझे बस याद करके तुम, ज़रा पलकें झुका देना,
न करना दिल की बातों को, ....कभी ज़ाहिर ज़माने पे,

उसे बस टाल देना और, बहाना कुछ बना देना,

ना माने जो वो फिर भी, और अगर इकरार कर बैठे,
नमी आँखों में लाकर, इश्क का किस्सा सुना देना,
वो शायद पूछ ले कितनी, मुलाकातें हुयी अपनी?
किताबों में छुपे फूलों, को बस गिनकर बता देना||

If I could...

If I could give you any part of me
to make your life better,
I would gladly lie down and let them take it-
just to make you well again.

...If I could siphon my own strength
and funnel it into your veins,
I would willingly give you
every single drop.

If I could walk this road for you,
I would put you upon my back,
walk until my feet were pools of blood-
and then I would crawl on my knees.

धूप छाँव ज़िन्दगी

है कभी ये मनचली सी, है कभी ये मखमली सी,
अनकहे से ज़ख्म से, कभी लगे छिली छिली सी,
धूप छाँव ज़िन्दगी ||
क्या है इसकी शक्ल ये, क्या में इसको नाम दूं?
कैसे में छुपाऊंगा, कहाँ में इसको टांग दूं?
...कहाँ सजाऊं ज़िन्दगी, धूप छाँव ज़िन्दगी||

....बस अब वो अपने आप को मेरी अमानत सी कर दे

वो रह न पाए एक पल भी हमारे बिना,

ए खुदा, उसको मेरी आदत सी कर दे||

इतना टूट के चाहूं में उसको,
के मेरी चाहत को मेरी इबादत सी कर दे||

कोई छू ना पाए अपने ख़यालात में भी उसको,
हर एक के ज़ेहन में उसकी हिफाज़त सी कर दे||

बंद आँख में भी देख पाऊं में उसको,
मेरी आँखों को ऐसी इजाज़त सी कर दे||


रखूँगा ख्याल उसका उम्र भर के लिए,
बस अब वो अपने आप को मेरी अमानत सी कर दे||

मुझे तुम छोड़ मत देना

हजारों दूरियां आयें, बहारें आ के खो जायें,
मेरा चेहरा भुला देना, मेरी यादें बचा लेना,

मुझे तुम छोड़ मत देना||

जो लम्हे दर्द देते हों,उन्हें बेशक भुला देना,
जो लम्हे आस देते हों, उन्हें दिल से लगा लेना,
मुझे तुम छोड़ मत देना||

कहीं भी दूर रह लेना, बहुत मजबूर रह लेना,
मगर इस दूरी को, तुम बहाना मत बना लेना,
ताल्लुक तोड़ मत देना, मुझे तुम छोड़ मत देना||

चलो तुम छोड़ दो मुझको...

चलो तुम छोड़ दो मुझको,

मैं वापिस लौट जाता हूँ,

तुम्हें मंजिल मुबारक हो,

नया साथी मुबारक हो,

मगर फिर ऐ मेरे हमदम,

मुझे इतना तो बतला दो,

कहाँ से साथ लाये थे?

मुझे इतना तो समझा दो,

अगर ऐसा नहीं मुमकिन,

तो मुझको इस तरह तोड़ो,

के मैं  यक्सर बिखर जाऊं,

भटकने से तो बेहतर है,

तुम्हारे पास मर जाऊं||

क़ैद-ए-तन्हाई

तूने तो जीना चाहा और किसी का हो के,

आज भी हूँ में तेरी, तन मन अपना खो के,


तेरे मिलन को जाने कितने बरस हैं तरसी,
न कोई सावन आया न कोई बरखा बरसी,(x2)

है तन प्यासा और मन प्यासा,(x2)
रूह भी प्यासी लागे,
क़ैद-ए-तन्हाई, क़ैद-ए-तन्हाई (x2)


तूने तो जीना चाहा और किसी का हो के,
 आज भी हूँ में तेरी, तन मन अपना खो के,

तनहा तनहा, रेज़ा रेज़ा(x2)
दुनिया रोगी लागे,
क़ैद-ए-तन्हाई क़ैद-ए-तन्हाई(x2)

कैसी लगन ये लागी, कैसी अगन ये लागी,
ना तन जागा, ना मन जागा(x2)
ना कोई रैना जागी
क़ैद-ए-तन्हाई क़ैद-ए-तन्हाई (x2)

My Final Goodbye...

I am standing on this empty street,
No matter if it is cold or burning heat...

I see her going far away from me,
but, I guess this was meant to be...

I kept waiting for her all day all night,
But, She was too busy to even try or fight..

She said I may not see her again,
and she could never give more pain..

I may not be happy as she may seem,
but everynight I shall see her in dream...

She said you should take good care,
I asked her what more is spare...

I wish she stays happy and get all joy,
No matter if I was just another toy..

I tried wishing her good luck for life,
coz she's going to be someone Else's wife...

She promised that she will always stay,
but that promise was just a plastic play...

I don't how long will I survive,
but, I know my heart isn't alive...

I know this may sound a little absurd,
but I ended my life for a 6 letter word..

She called me to say sorry but I was high,
and I never said anything but just a sigh...

I went out and looked for friends,
but, I was looking at some shallow ends..

I never thought I could be this alone,
and I will not have anyone to cal my own...

I looked up at god if he can justify,
but, my bad luck I never got reply...

So I came back home and kept thinking,
while every hope of life kept sinking...

I kept thinking more what should I do,
but, always thought of love that wasn't true...

How can everything I had end so soon,
and I was alone again just like moon...

Now she seems more like a star,
whom I can see but is very far...

I think, for her I was an ordinary guy,
because, Even if I am dead she won't cry...

I called her desperately because I fall down,
but, she was too busy to answer phone..

No.. she can't be someone I ever knew,
and the one who always said "I love you"...

Who is to question and who is to blame,
because now I can't even say your name..

I never wanted anything to end this way,
but, she left me nothing more to say...

I don't want any answers or ask Why..
All I wanna say is, this is My Final Goodbye..!!

How am I supposed to live without you?

Dear NO Face,

The wisest way to start this letter would be to admit that it has been a decade since I have written anything to you. It feels all new to me, for  I know that writing these somewhat absurd letters to you is an essential part of my life, without which I always feel as though something huge was missing.

Well, this long abstain from writing is something I cannot fully explain or find excuses for; to myself so to speak. What I know is that I have been trying not to do this; not to write anything, not to give you life, not to make you real when you are not. It frustrates me sometimes to think of you as a vivid someone, a ‘face’ I can easily relate to and paint in my everyday dreams without finding any difficulty in belonging to; emotionally and mentally and spiritually. At times, it makes me feel stupid and on the brink of insanity, but the only thing that keeps me clinging to you is my knowledge that what I am doing is brilliant one way or another. Giving you life provides me with a rare kind of emotional peace that life has deprived me of. You know that when such a thing happens, some of us opt for the fantasy, don’t you? I know I have, and you are my fantasy.

Sometimes, I do fight the urge to write to you, and I succeed in keeping you in the shade for a while, but I always end up missing you, and thinking of all the things I could and would tell you. People-oh- I mean things like you usually prove to be better listeners than some real people. You have the heart I crave for in reality; the heart of a true angel. I miss that, and I miss you, but above all I miss the part where you become a reality, and a face I could see and recognize and recall every time I close my eyes. I cannot say I do not do that now, but the only difference is that I do not see you, I cannot fully see you.

For all the past weeks, I have been waiting for the inspiration I needed to write this letter, and feel this connection with you again. I was lost for that inspiration, and it did not come to me even though I did feel it deep in my heart. I knew that this moment would eventually arrive, and that I would-once again- sit here and type these words for you, and feel the peace of heart you give me whenever I miss you and need you like I do now. 

You  want to know in what form the inspiration came? It was there in Michael Bolton’s song ‘How am I supposed to live without you’. When I heard it by coincidence today, I instantly thought of you and found myself wanting so bad to write this letter; if only to tell you that I have indeed missed you, and that I cannot do without you. When I sat and typed these words, I realized that I do not need a song to inspire me, because it is you who do that. You inspire me to hope, and dream of the real version of you, and when that happens; when I do that, I know that I can always welcome tomorrow with open arms and pray for better and brighter days to come, days that hold the promise of you, and your face; the face I do not really know by sight, but know very well by heart.

Don’t you agree with me that this is a blessing? That having this much intense feeling for something I believe in is a victory you and I should acknowledge? I know I do, and I know that I will always ask myself this same question: How am I supposed to live without you?

Until I unravel your mystery, my No Face, and get to finally thank God for the gift of you in my life, I shall always wonder, and ask you questions, and enjoy this rapport I share with you; a rapport that holds hope and love within, and fills my life with just as much love in return.

Until then, sweet No Face, I want you to know that I love you dearly, and miss you like I always do.

Love…
Dreamer

Melman's advice to Mototo in Madascar 2: Escape to Africa

Listen Carefully to me....

"No, no that's not it. Listen Mototo, you'd better treat this lady like a queen. Because you, you my friend... have found the perfect woman. If I was ever so lucky to find the perfect woman, I would give her flowers every day. And not just any flowers, okay? Her favorites are orchids. White. And I would bring her breakfast every day. Six loaves of wheat bread with butter on both sides. No crusts. Just the way she likes it. I'd be her shoulder to cry on and her best friend. And I'd spend every day thinking of ways to make her laugh. She has the most... amazing laugh. That's what I would do, if I were you. But I'm not. So you do it." - Melman

मुझको शिकस्त-ए-दिल का मज़ा याद आ गया,
तुम क्यों उदास हो गए, क्या याद आ गया?
कहने को ज़िन्दगी थी बहुत मुख़्तसर मगर,
कुछ यूँ बसर हुयी, के खुदा याद आ गया|
बरसे बिना  ही जो घटा  आगे निकल गयी ,
इक  बेवफा का एहद-ए-वफ़ा याद आ गया|
यूँ चौंक उठे वो , सुनकर मेरा शिकवा,
जैसे उन्हें भी कोई गिला याद आ गया|
हैरत है तुमको देख के मस्जिद में ,
क्या बात हो गयी जो खुदा याद आ गया?

Love is life's sweet mystery!

Love is like magic, and it always will be.
For love still remains life's sweet mystery!!
Love works in ways, that are wondrous and strange,
And there's nothing in life that love cannot change!!
Love can transform the most commonplace into beauty
And splendor, fitness and grace.
Love is unselfish, understanding and kind,
For it sees with its heart,
and not with its mind!!
Love is the answer that everyone seeks...
Love is the language that every heart speaks.
Love can't be bought, it is priceless and free.
Love, like pure magic, is life's sweet mystery!

I do and will always love you

We loved,

We texted,

We laughed,

We cried,

I stayed up JUST to talk to you,

I changed for you and you "loved" me for it..

Then out the blue you tell me it's over..

Now we don't even talk and everyday I have to convince myself

I don't still love you cause I know I do and will always love you

....To melt my frozen heart

I am hurt inside, left alone,
Dying slowly with my soul
But it’s not something new to me
I’ve got used to a broken heart inside.

I run in the rain
So, no one would see my tears
I turn on the music so loud
So, no one would hear my screams.

I’ve been trying so hard,
not to show you my pain,
That I kept locked inside
Stucked on my own.

You’re not the one to blame
Maybe my screams just were not so high,
To reach you…

And now I only wish a simple thing
If you could hear my silent scream
That’s calling you back to me,
To melt my frozen heart…

What if Love wasn't Love, but Love was lust...

  

What if Love wasn't Love, but Love was lust...

And all things known to loyalty were betrayed by trust?

Have passion become misery, sorrow or grief,

Things to which we have in, now valued disbelief.

If misery truly Loved company, then how could it hurt?

Togetherness and happiness... taken for more than they're worth,

So take an oath to be a pure soul & don't ruin the meaning of love for the sake of lust,

Surely we all know that and will stand for it, to save its name in the world that's must!!!

Tu Mujhe Soch Kabhi : Zindagi Tere Naam

Tu Mujhe Soch Kabhi Yahin Chaahath Hai Meri

Mein Tujhe Jaan Kahoon Yahin Hasrath Hai Meri

Mein Tere Pyar Ka Armaan Liye Baitha Hoon

Tu Kisi Aur Ko Chaahe Kabhi Yeh Khudha Na Karen

Tu Kisi Aur Ko Chaahe Kabhi Yeh Khudha Na Karen 

Meri Mehroom Mohabbat Ka Sahaara Tu Hai

Meri Mehroom Mohabbat Ka Sahaara Tu Hai

Mein Jo Jeetha Hoon To Jeene Ka Ishaara Tu Hai

Apne Dil Pe Tera Ehsaan Liye Baitha Hoon

Mein Tere Pyar Ka Armaan Liye Baitha Hoon

Tu Kisi Aur Ko Chaahe Kabhi Yeh Khudha Na Karen

Tu Kisi Aur Ko Chaahe Kabhi Yeh Khudha Na Karen 

Say You Love Me Baby..

I've Been Waiting For You...

Say You Love Me Baby..

Pyar Mein Sharth Koi Ho To Bathaa De Mujhko

Pyar Mein Sharth Koi Ho To Bathaa De Mujhko

Gar Khatha Mujhse Huyi Ho To Bathaa De Mujhko

Jaan Hatheli Pe Meri Jaan Liye Baitha Hoon

Mein Tere Pyar Ka Armaan Liye Baitha Hoon

Tu Kisi Aur Ko Chaahe Kabhi Yeh Khudha Na Karen

Tu Kisi Aur Ko Chaahe Kabhi Yeh Khudha Na Karen
