She was a spectrum but you were color blind.
She even turned black and white for you.. But you were like “never mind”.
I don’t know when you’ll realise, that she was offering you a bond for life.
In your dark days, she wanted to be your light.
You poured your past betrayal onto her flame.
Broken she still stood there carrying all the pain.
But my dear you took her for granted and it was the last thing she wanted.

She is made of sunlight
Drenched in moon
Just like stars in the sky
And butterflies out of cocoon
Colourful and mesmerizing
She is a delight
Bright as day
Yet dazzling as night.

Whenever someone promises me “forever”
my mind automatically wonders
where this “forever” ends.
Because every promise ever made to me was never kept
And the broken bonds never mend.
I wonder if I am a fool
for I keep all my promises
Or the world is way too cruel
for all my wishes.
When I promise to Stay
I stay no matter what may come and no matter what we may lose,
And I wish the world was not so confused…
Because to me “forever” means a bond beyond death and life
Not just a set of alphabets used to cover the lies.

Chhedte chhedte kab aap ko chahne lage,
pata hi nahi chala
Aap ki raah mein kab palkhe bichhane lage,
pata hi nahi chala.
Baate karte karte kab mulakaato ke sapne sajane lage,
pata hi nahi chala
hum toh iss qadar kho chuke the aap mein
ki ye jazbaat ek tarfe hai
hume pata hi nahi chala.
Chalo koi baat nahi
aap nahi toh naa sahi
ye sapne toh hai,
aap humare nahi toh na sahi
hum aap ke apne toh hai.

Hakeekat kuch aur hai meri aur khwahishen kuch aur,
mere andar bilkul sannata hai
Aur bahar shor hi shor..
Najaane kab meri qismat karvat legi
najaane kab meri aarzoo hakeekat mein badlegi…
Kabhi kabhi thak jaata hu main, toot jaata hu
Kabhi kabhi yoon hi sabse rooth jaata hu..
Kaise kahu kisi se ki khafa tujhse nhi
khud se apne khuda se hu
kaise kahu ki mujhe lagta hai main bewajah sa hu…
Jaanta hu log hazaar wajah de denge mujhe mere hone ki
lekin kasie kahu kisi se
ki iss bhaagti hui zindagi mein main ruka sa hu..
Darr lagta hai koi thehar na jaaye mere liye
dukho ke saath ek takleef aur judd jayegi
kaise kahu kisi se ki mein iss duniya me logon se ghira hua magar tanha sa hu.

Thaam lo haath mera chalo kahin door chalte hai,
Saath girte saath sambhalte hai…
Jahan jitni derr kahoge, wahan utni derr ruk jayege
Pal mushkil hai toh kya hua, yeh bhi beet jayege.
Mosam badalega, yeh saath nahi
Waqt badalega, badalege haalat badalegi qismat…
Kyu na badale? Aakhir ye haalat hai, mere jazbaat nahi.
Mil kar chalege toh manzil door nahi ,
Apni mehnat par yakeen rakh
Tu majboor hai kamzor nahi..
Aaj ki haar kal ki jeet hogi, Junoon kbhi haarta nahi
Aur jo ladna jaante hai, unko harana koi jaanta nahi.
Main aaj hu kal hu har din har pal hu
Tere saath tere sang hu tu jaise jeena chahe vo dhang hu
Naa gayi hu na jaugi, saath rhi hu saath nibhaugi
Haath thaam kar haath chhodna meri fitrat nahi
Aur mujhe tujhse cheen le, itni kisi ki himmat nahi.

Humein jodne wali bas baatein hai, ehsaas hai
kuch yaadein hai, alfaaz hai,
inn kavitaon me chhupe, humare kuch raaz hai
kehne ko aam lekin mere liye bohot khaas hai,
tere mere beech hui har baat, mere dil ke behad pass hai.
Kbhi mili nhi tujhse, lekin lagta tha jaise tu humesha mere pass hai
tere jazbaat badal gye, lekin mere mann me aaj bhi ek aas hai
kbhi toh tera dil puchega tujhse
kaha gyi vo, jiske na hone se ye bechaini ye khataas hai?
behla lena apne dil ko, dil toh bhola hai nadaan hai.
Keh dena, iss kitaab se phaada ek panna thi vo..
attrangi, bikhre baalon wali ek kahani thi,
ek daastan poorani thi vo,
bhool chuka hu main Tu bhi yaad mat kar
parayi ho kar bhi apni aur apni ho kr bhi anjaani thi vo.
Main jee lungi iss aas mein, ki kbhi toh yaad aaugi
koi rang, koi barkha, koi phool dekh kr
tumhare hooton par muskaan bann kar chhaugi.
Iss muskaan ka raaz mat batana kisi ko
shayad meri trha tumhari aankhe bhi num ho jayengi
aur hume ek doosre se jodne wali
ek aur baat mil jayegi.

Happiness can be the beaming set of teeth
Or the glittery tears in you eyes,
It can be an epic of truth
Or the tale of lies.
For some, happiness can be a piece of cake
Or a particular weather,
It can be a smile on someone else’s face
Or a brand new day to make things better.
Happiness can be joy, Happiness can be peace
Than why is it given to us, by God on lease?
Why do we have to pay for the moments we laughed and the moments we cry?
Maybe this is what balance looks like.
I don’t have the answers, but i have a philosophy
You may not be a magician, but u can always turn your pain into a melody.
A little patience, a little trick
Build your Happiness, with hard work’s brick.
Don’t count other’s blessings, just look at your number
There is this one thing you must always remember…
Happiness can be a dance, Happiness can be a song
Happiness can be everything but never wrong.

The moon is in love with the ocean
She does not know that it’s forbidden
For the love in her heart
is pure, regardless of different region.
She is fearless and brave,
She just wants the ocean to try a bit harder,
Little did she know despite her unconditional love,
The ocean has fallen for the stars.
