Teri Baato.n ke Rang

तेरी बातों के रंग
चढ़े रहे दुपट्टे पर
मैने धोए भी,
और सुखाए भी,
धूप भी निकली,
और मेघ भी बरसे,
पर ये ज़िद्दी हैं

चढ़े रहे दुपट्टे पर..

यादों की हवा चली
तो जैसे बिखर गये
रंग घुल के हवा में,
खुशबू में बदल गये,
मैने सांसो मे समेटा,
और क़ैद करना चाहा,
पर ये शातिर हैं,

चढ़े रहे दुपट्टे पर..

लजा के एक सांझ
मैने ओढ़ लिये सर पर
तो ये चमक उठे,
रंग बिरंग जुगनू बनकर,
मैने हाथ मे पकड़े,
और रौशनी तरफ दौड़ी,
पर ये शरीर हैं,

चढ़े रहे दुपट्टे पर..

इत्त्वार का दिन आया
तो मेरे साथ हो लिये
बूँद बनकर आँखों मे,
मेरे साथ रो लिये,
मैने आँखें चुराना चाहा,
और बातें बनाई भी,
पर ये खामोश रहे,

चढ़े रहे दुपट्टे पर..

Transliteration:

Teri baato.n ke rang
Chadhe rahe dupatte par
Maine dhoye bhi
aur sukhaye bhi
dhoop bhi nikli
aur megh bhi barse,
Par ye ziddi hai

Chadhe rahe dupatte par..

Yaado.n ki hawa chali
To jaise bikhar gaye
Rang ghul ke hawa mein
Khushbu mein badal gaye
Maine saanso me sameta
Aur qaid karna chaha
Par ye shaatir hain

Chadhe rahe dupatte par..

Laja ke ek saanjh
Maine odh liye sar par
To ye chamak uthe
Rang birang jugnu bankar
Maine haath me pakde
Aur raushni taraf daudi
Par ye shareer hain

Chadhe rahe dupatte par..

Ittwaar ka din aaya
To mere saath ho liye
Boond bankar aankho.n me
Mere saath ro liye
Maine aankhein churaana chaaha
Aur baaten banaayi bhi
Par ye khaamosh rahe

Chadhe rahe dupatte par..

Shattered Expectations

I come down to my knees
to please you..
to worship you..

But like all worldly Gods..
you turn gray
and run away.

Not realizing my
bleeding heart lays
beneath your feet..

You walk away crushing
the last hope
i hold to breathe

I don't know why
i fall so low
coming near your toe

What i want is small
i want you to hold me
and break this fall

Am i asking for
something big
you dont wish to give?

Say it again

Say it again, Oh Baby! Say it again
Let me be clear, Let me hear it again
Let me see my world fall apart
Oh Baby! Let me witness my part

I tell you I am not strong
But I know, I have to take this along
I know the words you will convey
Oh Baby, but if you should, then you may

Don't hide it, don't fake it anymore
Go if you want to, just say it once more
Don't worry if it will hurt, if it will pain
You see Dear! It's about love and loss, not gain

So, Say it again, Oh Baby! Say it again
Let me be clear, Let me hear it again

It's not easy, to see this fall
But it's harder, to carry this all
So It's better, you kill me right here
Oh baby, Don't bother about every year




When I look down in your eyes, today
I see no place, nowhere for me to stay
I knew you would leave me, somehow
It's a bit early Dear, But if it is, let it be now

So, Say it again, Oh Baby! Say it again
Let me be clear, Let me hear it again

And while you walk down the other way
For one last time, let me ask you this straight
You remember, the other day when you came
Was it only to leave me, all over again?

Letting You Go

.
I am lost, figuring unknown path
I am bleeding, inside my heart
I am quite, wanting to cry
I am alone, attempting to die

No,
I have to let this go
To live, to smile, to breathe
I have to let you go
To cry, to lighten, to be free

I loved, as if love is immortal
I smiled, as if happiness lasts longer
I believed, as if promises never break
I trusted, as if worlds all saint

But now,
I have to let this go
To live, to smile, to breathe
I have to let you go
To cry, to lighten, to be free

I have seen, tears flooding my way
I have felt, moments decay
I have experienced, love betraying
I have witnessed, commitment dying

And so,
I have to let this go
To live, to smile, to breathe
I have to let you go
To cry, to lighten, to be free

I feel you around me, like air

.

The bubbling water washing my feet
The setting sun reddening peek
And the breeze lifting my hair
I feel you around me, like air


The deafening silence of solitude
The growing night bluing mood
The chilling wind touching my body bare
I feel you around me, like air


I feel you when I breathe,
When I walk, when I sleep
I feel you when I am alone
When in a group, when I am home


I feel you when I am down
When I am happy, when I frown
I feel you living in my soul,
In my heart, somewhere very close


The words won’t let you know
Neither the tears which mourn
On how much I miss you
On how much I love you


But believe me I swear, always
I feel you around me, like air

** Little does a person knows when his words become so situational..so realistic...so hurting..

Companion for me is you..

Crushed hopes, dark world, lost ways and killed aspirations

Once, there was a world of such devastations.

Mourning continued, sobbing followed, night kept creeping in

Plight like this, and a girl fastened there in.

And all the miracles of which mortals are aware; seemed false

Nothing worked, all went in despair.

Indeed the only thing she needed was a little love, a little care

Or may be a little stretched hand to support; but

None came, none bothered and she was left alone.

For a while, suddenly the prayers seemed to come true

On a far land, came an angel, as human he grew

Ripping the darkness, steeped in her little world, wiped her tears off

Making an unsaid promise, held her hand and walked short

Entwined fingers, shivering body and a new ray of hope

Inside she was afraid, but knew now she ll cope

She knew, the angel came for her, came to love and trust her

Yes, she knew he came to be a companion of her

Oh, how happy she was, to be loved, to be cared, to be trusted all again

Unending tears followed, but this time, not in vain.

P.S. It's the nearest poem to my heart...something which came so deep from my heart that i almost forgot that it was just a mix of words...:)
P.P.S. this is actually a dedication, which i forgot to mention ...it's dedicated to the sweet "Angel" who has made my life sugury sweet..with added touch of salt and pepper when he loses his patient nerve :P
