Ummeed

 Har ek Subah sath le aati hai ek nayee umeed...
Zindagi me kuch alag karne ki ummeed...
Jo kal tha use sudharne ki aur jo kal aayega use sawarne ki ummeed...

Kabhi bhul jaate hai hum.. Dono kal ki soch me doobe..
Ki aaj ko thoda jee to le...aaj ki ummeedoṅ pe khare to utre...
Warna fir ulajhan me fas jayenge kal aur kal ko liye... To fir na jaane kab jeeyein...

Kuch to aisa kare.. K kal jab hum beete kal ko dekhe..
 To khud pe garv ho.. Ke choṭi hi sahi humane koshish to ki... 
Thoda hi sahi, khul ke jee to liye, zara sa Mann se muskura to diye...

Aj ki galati se seekho... Warna fir wahi doharaoge...
 Kal apni hi nazroṅ se nazreiṅ churaoge...
Aage nai baḍh sakte jab tak wo beete kal ki beḍiyaṅ nai khologe..

अनजान रास्ते

अकेले अनजान रास्ते पे चले,
राह में लोग हज़ारों मिले..

कुछ कहे साथ चलो कुछ दूर,
कुछ बस बिन देखे निकल गये..

कुछ हाथ पकड़ के आगे ले गए,
कुछ धोखा दे वही छोड़ गए...

सपनों को पाने कि चाह लिए,
फिर उठे और तनहा चल दिए...

जब गिरे लड़खड़ाए टूट गए,
वापस पीछे जाने को बस मुड़ गए..

पलट के देखा तो थे वो साये,
जिनकी उँगली पकड़ बचपन में क़दम आगे थे बढ़ाए..

कहा 'डरो मत, हम साथ है तुम्हारे,
बस आगे चलो, सपने है तुमको पाने'..

नई उम्मीद और भरोसे के सहारे,
फिर मुड़ गए उस राह को निहारे...

चल दिए फिर वही अनजान रास्ते,
राह में जहाँ लोग हज़ारों मिले...

Reflections!!

She wanted a keeper..
A keeper of her heart,
A keeper of her darkness,
A keeper who would never leave her...

She wanted a believer,
A believer of her strength,
A believer of her dreams,
A believer who would stand with her..

She wanted a protector,
A protector of her smiles,
A protector of her own evils,
A protector who keeps alive the child in her..

And as she opened her eyes,
She saw a figure...
Smiling back at her...
It was her OWN reflection in the mirror.

Her world

And suddenly she was all quiet.
Trying to talk to someone who would not quit on her.
But all she could hear was the silence in that empty room.
A place where she let her thoughts flow.

As much as she wanted to be around everyone,
It sometimes felt as a chaos where she didn't belong.
Little did she know,
That she was the world which some longed!
