In our dreams

 For the time has come for a temporary goodbye

Aren't all goodbyes temporary, how are you sure

You won't meet in another life?

Tired of waiting doesn't end the story, does it?

Don't let the city of love turn into the city of broken hearts

Find something to cherish, not to lament

If what happened was beautiful

Have faith in the future

It could be better


Why do we start blaming love

The moment attachment brings us to the crossroads

Of choosing between love and peace

Shouldn't we love without regrets?

Whatever road we follow, let's have faith that we'll find our ways

In every morning, with every new start

Our days would be new but we would be the same

The same old humans daring to stay

The directions we're following 

Aren't meant to be opposite forever

There might be oceans and mountains separating us

But we could at least sing the same song while walking

We might be at different stages of our journeys

But even if the river sounds different at its different banks

The water is the same

And when in the evening the sun would set

It would still smile looking at us

And all we could do is imagine each other's smile behind that light

The sun, the moon and the sky is divine

And so is what we have

There's no thing like 'out of sight, out of mind'

We hold, preserve, cherish and let the love blossom

After a good day of moving ahead but not moving on

We would still miss each other

The touch of our fingers intertwined

Your head on my shoulder

My hand on your waist, pulling you closer

Tomorrow will be a new day and

Life and time won't wait

But

Why do we have to shed a tear before we sleep

Let's bump into each other in our dreams

Hindi Poem - Ishq

 Uss chand ki roshni mein uss chand se chehre ki raunak na niharun

Yeh baat dil maan na sake

Yeh toh waisi asadharan chandni hai

Jise badal chah kar bhi dhak na sake

Yeh jo tumhare liye mere dil ki dhadkan tezi se chal rahi hai

Kya koi tarqeeb hai jo ise dheemi kar sakti hai?

Tumhari ungliyon mein ungliyan pherna, tumhari qamar pakadkar chherna

Ya tumhari aankhon mein aankhen daalne se

Sirf ek ijazat ki kami hi mujhe rok sakti hai

Agar woh unkahi seema mai kabhi anjaane mein laanghun

Toh beshaq tumhe ijazat hai ki tu mujhe tok sakti ho

Puchta hun khud se kayi baar, kya hai duniya mein aisa pyaar

Jo mera dil aur mann, aur aane wala kal bhar sakti ho

Maloom hai mujhe ki mera ishq thhora mushkil hai

Par kya koi hai jo mujhse mere jaisa ishq kar sakti ho

कोरे कागज़ पर अधूरी पंक्तियाँ

जब दिन ख़ुशनुमा हो तो थोड़ा कम लिखा करता हूँ  जब रातें अँधेरी हो तो कागज़ पर ग़म लिखा करता हूँ  जब टूटा हुआ हो दिल तो कम कहा करता हूँ वफ़ा का घर...
