Pyaar aata hai...

Na jaane kyun yuhi baithe baithe,
bewajah ye dil muskura jata hai,
kabhi kabhi uski har choti baat par,
beint-e-han pyaar ata hai.


Jab jab khushi ka mausam hota hai,
jab man ek pyaari si dhun gungunata hai,
uski wohi madhosh muskan yaad kr,
ye dil yuhi muskura jata hai,
han usi muskaan par kabhi kabhi,
beint-e-han pyaa aata hai.


Kabhi kabhi jb mai subha ko,
suraj ki ore dekhta hu,
uska wo jagmagata chehra,
nazaron k saamne aa jata hai.
Han usi noorani chehre pe kabhi kabhi,
beint-e-han pyaar ata hai.


Fir jb udas man se main,
us nadiya kinare ja baithta hu,
ek thandi behti hawa ka jhonka,
uske hone ka ehsaas dilata hai.
Choo kr use ye pagal man,
fir se muskura uthta hai,
jakad kr use apni bahon me dil,
uska deedar krta hai,
han usi shaks pe, har dafa,
mujhe beint-e-han pyaar ata hai.

Chehra

Aaj baithe baithe ek chehra nazar k samne aa gaya,
bhula baithe the jo wo nagma yaad aa gaya.

Wo chehra wo muskurahat wo aahat kuch aisi lagi,
jaise wo paas mere khada kuch keh raha ho,
mujhse gila shikwa kr raha ho,
ke kyu kia khud se door,
kyu kia mujhe majboor,
ke kareeb tumhare aa na saku,
haal-e-dil bata na saku..

Aur mera dil kambakht khada sochta raha,
khud ko kosta raha,
nahi jee skte the uske bina to use kyu jaane dia,
aapna haal-e-dil use kyu bayaan na kia.

Ab jab sab khatam ho gaya, to ye dil tanha sa rehta hai,
salamat rahe wo ya laut aae wapis bas yehi dua krta hai,
wo aankhon ki chamak yo muskurahat dekhne ko na jaane ye kyun tarasta hai.

Bas chupke se simat kar un haseen lamho ko yaad kr ro leta hai,
jab baithe baithe ek nazar k saamne aa jata hai,
bhula baithe the jo nagma wo fir se yaad aa jata hai.

The Station

Through the green fields it rushed,
making a hooting sound,
then it slowed down to a halt,
and I looked around.

It was dark & I couldn't see,
& I asked the man sitting besides me,
'which station is it?'
'Its dheeri' he replied with a smile.

My heart pounded and I smiled,
as I knew someone from this place.
That name brought some memories alive,
that dear one whom I loved,
her face and those glittering eyes.

Feeling restless I looked around,
to find that familiar face,
in a hope that it might be waiting for me,
but it was foolish of me to look like that,
I smiled again and snap!!!,
I was crying within for the one I lost,
realizing that it was my fault,
to let her go.

And then the train moved on blowing a whistle,
and I came to my senses
as I was moving on with it!

The Feeling that Lingered……..

Tired of the day's work i lay,
gently on my bed at night,
i close my eyes n in a flash,
find u sitting by my side.

I look into your eyes wen u r gazing at me,
u hold my hand and smile gently,
asking 'is something's wrong honey??'

i give u a mixed expression,
filled with anger and pain,
describing u my day's story,
telling u how i struggled again.

U smile again n kiss my hand,
n tell me everything's gonna be alright,
i hug u tight n kiss u back,
coz it always takes my pain away!

We lie close in each others arms,
cuddling each other.
N then i hear my mom screaming,
wake up mr. Lazy engineer!

I wake up at once n the scene i changed,
everything was gone,
den mom told me that i hugged the pillow,
and kissed it all night long.

She giggled for a while n den asked the name,
of the person i hugged n kissed,
with my eyes down i replied,
'it was just a dream that’s it'.

Although i came to my senses,
but that feeling still lingers,
even today wen i go to sleep,
u fill those empty spaces between my fingers!
