all my life..everything kept going.. and then one day you brought me pause. everything that once was in motion was won over. life stopped.

***

***

If at all a would, a could
Turned to should and be
There is a path that we must take
Gently ordered he

What lies ahead
In order bright
Is sheath of death
To borrow

An undone task
Untouched so far
Demands our plunge
Tomorrow

He drew his sword.
He slashed the air;
then charging he roared -
“COME ON!”

You dont sound “You” anymore..
You have moved on.
Havent you?

The silliest of stories
have gotten rare
Or have they found you
new ears to root?

I so miss that familiar touch
that sensed my heart
in wrath.
Have you lost your sense of touch
Or has my heart
stopped beating at all?

I miss the glances
that in the silent blush
raided my thoughts
all the time.
Please tell me,
that they are there..
And i have not gone blind?

Blind my love
for you re my star
I seek no heaven
no moon
If at all I need to ask
You be my only boon.

Spear my heart!
Dont spear my love.
For that is wilder sorrow
What do i do with me today,
when there is no YOU tomorrow.

While the thoughts and the pressing need to be loved, dream of happening beginnings and the story to come, I lash the horses unmercifully with a harsh whip, pausing a silence, echoing deep in both thoughts and actions; and the oppressive sense of the outer world takes over what is inside urging to come out. None, I find understand or value the truth enough to decline from the thought of darkness engulfing the stammer of heart. A stammer worth attending, a stammer in need of a cure. With a gleaming smile then the dirt settles down, lost its own fog of existence. With exceedingly poised alacrity one wants to tear open the concealed, knocking down the confines of what bolts it underneath; but it gets foggier as it can be.

Mood: …

State: !!!

i want you to have the time of your life, but

…..to know that your moments are not mine are killing me

i want you to keep smiling always, but

…..to see you blush for someone else makes me envy as one can be

i want your heart to skip a beat, but

…..without you in my life my heart wants to skip them all!

I think my heart just skip a beat
That crooked smile of yours
knocks me off my feet
I tell you. You re really sweet
keep smiling… all over me
keep smiling!!

I am waiting for this gorgeous smile
Will you bless me dahlin
for a while
keep smiling… all over me
keep smiling!!

Dastoor-e-mustaqbil mein

Saath na tha tumhara

To bhala hum

Tere wafa ko aagaz kyon karte

Jab vaqt hi saath chhod gaya humara

Toh shams-au-kamar

Gauhar ka libaas kya karte

Galiyaan ishq ki

Viraan hua nahi karti

Fir furqat me maah-o-saal

Teri maujudgi ka ehsaas kyon hai

Dil ko yaqeen tha

Ki TU HAI

Fir mashroofiyat ke marhaalon me lipat

Tere jaane ka avval-o-aakhir ehsaas kyon hai

Waqt bewaqt, khud se na jaane kyon

Main ye sawal jawaab karta hoon

Ae shareeq-e-mohabbat

Na jaane kyon aaj bhi main tere

Kasb-e-hunar au dillagi ka hisaab karta hoon!
