Teri Justju

Ye barsaat ab ruke to, to apne ghar ko jaayein hum.

Boondein me kaid the ab tak, toot k bikhar jaayein hum...

Ruke ruke se kuch lamhon me, bhaagti jaati hai ye zindagi.

Ek teri justju nikal jaaye is dil se, phir gujar jaayein hum...

Kash-m-Kash

Tang aa chuke hain kash-m-kash-e-zindagi se hum;

Thukara na de jahaan ko kahin be-dilii se hum;

Gar zindagii mein mil gaye phir ittafaaq se;

Poochenge apanaa haal teri bebasi se hum;

Hum Gam-zadaa hain laaye kahaan se khushi ke geet;

Denge wahi jo paayenge is zindagi se hum;

Khumaar-e-Gham

Khumaar-e-gham hai, mahekti fizaa mein jeete hain..
Tere khayaal ki aab-o-hawaa mein jeete hain...

Bade itafaak se milte hain milne waale mujhe..
Woh mere dost hai, teri wafa mein jeete hain...

Firaaq-e-yaar mein saanson ko rok ke rakhte hain..
Harek lamha guzarti qazaa mein jeete hain...

Na baat poori huwi thi, ke raat toot gayi..
Adhure khwaab ki aadhi sazaa mein jeete hain...

Tumhaari baaton mein koi masihaa basta hai..
Haseen labon se barasti shafaa mein jeete hain...

Fall

Clouds, birds, tree tops.

The freedom of being on high

Closer to the sun

Further from the slum,

But farther to fall when they die....

Glance from your eyes

Everything is a lie. Everything you hear, everything you see.
So much to spew out. They just keep coming, one after another.

You're in a box. A moving box. They want you dead, or in their lie. There's only one thing a man can do - find something that's his, and make an island for himself.

If I never meet you in this life, let me feel the lack; a glance from your eyes, and my life will be yours...

A walk to remember

I wasn't told which path to take, which road to travel? I thought about it. I got a few options to choose from. I chose one. I didn't knew that i would face problems in each step i take. I either changed my route or i fought hard to overcome the obstacles. I continued.

I wasn't taught to make friends. I met a lot of people. I chose a few, to be my friend. Some of them chose me. They helped me survive the journey. I didn't knew that my location, my habits, my likes, dislikes.. my thoughts.. all.. would keep on changing frequently.

Every change gave me a new bunch of people to deal with.. a new set of friends to live with... I realized this fact. I got used to it.. I continued. I didn't knew that i would keep on losing friends every now and then. I didn't want to lose them. I couldn't help it.

With each step forward, i lost something.. i lost someone.

I wanted to stop... I wanted to stop and recollect everything i ever had. I wanted to make sure i don't lose any further, no more. I thought of stopping.. But i couldn't... I kept on walking.. I had to move on.

I didn't knew that at every milestone i cover, i would see another one, waiting for me... probably.. shouting at me... ''Come on. Keep walking.. I am the last one.''

I kept on walking, step after step, milestone after milestone... Sometimes i felt victorious, sometimes i was just too tired.

This journey has changed me a lot. I have stopped thinking. I am just walking... nowhere to go... nothing to achieve.. everything at stake... and everything to lose.

So here i am, ready for another change. Another set of transformations. From a ''Thinking Human'' to a ''Working Resource''. From a ''Feeling Human'' to a ''Failing Machine''.

Smile

A smile is something you can't give away, it always comes back to you. Today, give a stranger one of your smiles. It might be the only sunshine he sees all day. ~ P.S. I Love You

Suffering

I thought i was the only one who is suffering. I went on the top of the roof and found every house on fire.
