Vagaries of my Mind

Sipping hot hazelnut milk and sitting across the window pane,

My mind suddenly wanders in the realms of forgotten lane,

I see myself much younger weaving a million colorful dreams

Some for self some for others, every bit of them gleams

And then like a shudder I see my reflection in the window glass

No more am I so good, naive or innocent, no more I'm that lass

Comparison starts a thousand types of present and the past

A deep realization occurs within of things that didn't last

Oh behold my thoughts they are still running the those dark lanes

Why can't we ponder through life like we look across the window panes!

Randomness

Sometimes a wanderer waits and stops
To capture the frame in her thoughts,
Things that have gone by and moving still,
Her breaths are slow, shallow and shrill,
For things and moments that have passed,
For memories that are now a part of the past,
Living in the moment is the only way to cherish,
For everything moves to dust and later on perish,
The writer tries to re-live the moments of the past,
Wish she could turn the time wheel before breathing her last.

Raftaar

Is bhaagti daudti duniya me ek tere sahare baithe hain
Ham toofano se ladkar ab khamosh kinare baithe hain
Tum aa jate to mil jata sukoon-e-chain is dil ko bhi
Naadan se aanso jane kabse palko ke kinare baithe hain

Mana thamti nahi hai duniya ek tumhare jane aur aane se
Kon samjha paya kisko kyu uske ishare baithe hain
Ham bebas hai iss dil se apne aur dil apni chahat se
Warna marne ki fursat nahi aur ham saanso ko thame baithe hain
Is bhaagti daudti duniya me ek tere sahare baithe hain
Ham toofano se ladkar ab khamosh kinare baithe hain...

Ecstasy

A random thought in my mind,
Bizarre and unkempt kind
Still worthy to be put in words
I hereby do express
My inner desire to write
A bevy of fleeting delights
As if the rain has splashed my heart
After a massive sun attack
Dunno if what I feel is right
I just wanna see this sight
Of my dead dreams turning to life
And a sudden zestful strife
It brings tears to the lonely eyes
They've waited years for this very sight
Of words that express themselves through me
Of tales few, old, retold and new!

Kabtak

Aas niraas ka zakhmi panchhi aakhir kabtak gaye ga
jo bhi phool khila hai ik na ik din wo murjhayega
hum ne mana lakh baharen aayengi phir jayengi
shakh se toota pata yaroon wapas kese jeepayega
kabtak yuhi sawalo me guzregi ye zindgi
Kabtak ham sawaalo me khud ki talaash karte rahenge
Har roz dil khud ko samjha ke kabtak rakhega
Kaise bhi ho manzar koi kabtak yuhi bebasi me muskurayega
Aakhir kabtak bikte rahenge jazbaat rishto ke daayro me
Kabtak apne sapno ke liye jeene wala baagi kehlayenga???

Waiting for the wait to get over!

With every drop of water that comes out of my eyes...

I see the truth behind my emotions above all the lies...

With you not even close to me now with no one to hold by...

 My heart aches and cries of the moments that passed by...

No matter where will I be in times to come from today...

 I can't ever live without you I'll breathe your name everyday...

 And one day when you get finally tired of testing my love for you...

 That day I'll wait outside your door to take you to a place new...

 A palace of my dreams that fulfils all your wishes...

 Please come back to me the day my love test finishes!

Words

Why do words cause so much pain

Can they turn any blessing to bane?

Erasing their mark from the mind becomes tough

It's the expression of what one thinks n stuff

Belittling any other weapon to cut the ties

It cuts deeply is where the significance lies 

Wish if only we can forget what's said

Life wouldn't be that gloomy or sad

Nothing in the world hurts as much

Hearing unexpected things from someone in touch 

I don't know how long the wound will last

Whether it will look in present or be dead in the past!
