..broken wings..

..I sat on the window with the broken wings..

..with pieces of shattered dreams in hands..

..my tears drenched my soul..

.. and my failure broke me whole..

..like a looser I sat on the window with the broken wings..

..I saw the sun smiling..

..I saw the birds creeping..

..I saw the flowers blooming,I saw the people roaming..

..no one looked at me with the broken wings in my hands..

..I looked at seventh sky from where I fall..

..so high above I reached and fall..

..I am all broke will I reach there again..

..A drop fall from my eye on my hand..

..smiled at me,"You already know how to reach there again"

..I opened my broken wings to give a last try..

..it pained a lot and it hurt a lot..

..wings opened in the vast sky..

..inhaled the air of hope..flapped higher..

..and I was flying again I was smiling again..

..I always knew how to reach there..

..then why I feared just because I fall..

..then why I felt I couldn't fly again..

..I turned back to look at the window..

..where now laid broken pieces of my fear...

..now I am no more scared of my broken wings..

..I can fly high with my hope with my faith..

..I can fly high even with my broken wings..

..even with my broken wings..

Is it Love

Is it Love
When tears rollout
with a smile

Is it Love
When life swing
on a glance

Is it Love
When heart sinks
at the parting

Is it Love
When pain fears
no more

Is it Love
When mirror smile
every hour

Is it Love
When time run
so fast

Is it Love
When words struck
inside throat

Is it Love
When feet jump
above limits

Is it Love
When whole world
is beautiful

Is it Love
When you exclaim
"Is It Love!!!"

...Phir kyo apne pankhon ki udaan nahi udta main...

Har anjaan sa chera meri pehchan sa lagta hai,
Bheed main ghum na ho jaun is baat se darta hoon,
Duniya ki ajeeb si rasmo se pareshan sa rehta hoon,
Har girte kadmo ko thamne ka hosla rakhta hoon,
Sitaron ki chamak main chamkna chahta hoon,
Waise to andehra bhi hat jata hai raston se mere..

Phir kyo apne pankhon ki udaan nahi udta main,
Phir kyo khulein aakash main azaad nahi udta main,

Kabhi haar kar lehron main dubne sa lagta hoon,
Kabhi kinaron par baitha sukoon ki saans leta hoon,
Kisi ke sapno ko haqeekat banane ka sapna dekhta hoon,
Kadam ladkhda jatein hai to roshini ka haath thaam leta hoon,
Jo mord jis aor le jata hai usi aor murd jata hoon,
Waise to har Khawaish muthi main band hai mere..

Phir kyo apne pankhon ki udaan nahi udta main,
Phir kyo khulein aakash main azaad nahi udta main.

..Happy Birthday..

..Years after years moved on..!!!
..My flesh turned older each year...!!!
..But My soul is young as ever..!!!
...When I open my eyes today..
...I look back at my journey ..!!
... weakest moments which still shiver my soul..
..I looked at myself how boldly I stood with them..
.. laughing moments which still pains my stomach & brings tears to my eyes...!!!
.. moment when I fall apart from inside & looked at my dying hope holding my fallen parts..!!!.
..I looked at my moment when I flied on wings of success...!!!
......and my best pal stood behind me with smile on his face...
..though so far I have to go ...!!!.
..yet when I look at my past I get the light to face any obstacle in future..!!
..I keep on moving with best moments in hearts so that I can treasure them ..!!
and my weakest moment so that I keep learning from them what mistakes I did...!!

..Just drag me away from here..

Just drag me someone away from here....

I am standing on deserted land

Bleeding bodies muddled in sand

I am all drenched in utter pain

Hands fastened in rusty chain

Just drag me someone away from here....

Sky above is screaming madly

Tides below are grieving sadly

Stars are shivering with deathless fear

Clouds are vibrating with countless tears

Just drag me someone away from here......

Oh God !! Thou shall tell what blunder I did?

Thou shall only tell whom did I plunder ??

If this is the reward for following you ideally

If this is the award for trusting you blindly

Then I don't need anybody to drag me from here

Then I won't scream anymore to go somewhere

I will stand here till the last breath I hold

I will stand here till my soul wreath & mold

...Today i waited for you till dawn...

...As the rays of sun filtered through my curtains...
....Your thoughts gently touch my eyes and ....
.... I wake up with smile on my face...
...I danced like a bird with the wings stretched across the sky...
.. I threw blossoming flower all around...
.....I filled the whole house with fragrance...
...Today i waited impatiently for you till dawn...

... I leaned out of the window thousand of time...
.. I screamed out at every single ring of phone..
... I turned the watch upside down...!!!
....I just ran on toes at knock at my door..!!!
today i waited impatiently for you till dawn...

... I was lost in your thought all the day..!!!
I just sat smiled at all dull days...!!!
... I just sat and cried at all beautiful days..!!!
... I touched you endlessly to my heart..!!
today i waited impatiently for you till dawn...

I sat at my window for the whole day...!!!
I saw sun setting & dawn coming...!!!...
I saw flower shedding & fragrance loosing..
I saw the darkness engulfing my wings..!!!
...But still i waited impatiently for you till dawn...

..tum shayad kahin nahi..!!!

Suni si ek raah,

us par gharein se kuch nishaa,

kisi ki sahami hui yaadon ke..

sisakte hu kuch waadon ke..

dard se karhaati hui roshni...

dhuein main dhundlati se ek khushi..

aankhon ko bhigoti hui kuch boondee..

kaano se gujarti hui kuch awazee..

kisi ke aane ki woh aahat...

waqt ke ruk jaane ki woh chahat..

woh dubta hua suraj..

woh sharmate hue sitare..

sukhe patoo se khelti hui woh hawa...

khidki se jhakti hui woh raatein..

chupkee se yaad aati hui woh baatein..

Asmaan ko chune ki woh koshish..

kisi ko paaney ki woh khuwaish

haathon main simti si ek lakir..

aankhon main chippi si ek tasveer..

woh khud hi rhuthna..

woh khud hi manana..

woh mutthi main band kuch sapne..

woh bichadee hue kuch apne..

gujarta hua har pal yuhi..

bheka hua kuch-kuch kahin..

khamosh si hai lahree sabhi..

khoo gayi zindgi kahin..

tham sa gaya sab kuch..

par waqt hai pata nahi kuch..

hu aaj bhi 'main' wahin-kahin...

aur 'tum' shayad kahin nahi kahin nahi...
