mere khawaabon ka mahal hakeekat mein saara ujard gaya

mere khawaboon ki duniya kitni maasoom kitni haseen,
lagti thi mujhe yeh duniya ab tak na jaane kitni rangeen,

ek din to hakeekat ki patharon se inko takraanaa hi tha,
mere sab khawaboon ko toot kar bikhar jaanaa tha,

mere in khwabon mein shaamil thi bachapan ki maasoomiyat,
jawaani ka pyar aur dono kaa alhardpan,

lekin hakeekat mein bachapan ki maasoomiyat,
jawaani kaa pyaar aur,
dono ka alhardpan khwaab ke saath hi bikhar gaya,

mere saare khwaabon kaa roop ek dam bigard gaya,
mere khawaabon ka mahal hakeekat mein saara ujard gaya,

kaash koi aake in khawaabon ko tootne se bachaaye rakhati,
mujhe hakeekat mein jagaa kar in khwaabon ko sajaaye rakhti,

mere saare khwaab yun toot kar bikhar naa jaate,
yeh khawaab saare mere hakeekat mein bhi sawar jaate.

aapni mohabbat ko ruswa kar tum chale gaye

humein dil mein basakar kyun tum chale gaye,
yuhi pyaar mein tarsa kar tum chale gaye,

ek aakhri umeed ke sahare jee rahe the,
jo zakhmo ko dilse laga kar tum chale gaye,

tumare sare-rah pe rakhe hain kadam tum chale gaye,
raaho mein maine bikhere phool aur tum chale gaye,

aapni mohabbat ko ruswa kar tum chale gaye,
iss dil mein khile phoolon mein tum masal kar chale gaye..

just you wait and see

I try so hard to make you happy,
but nothing seems to work.
I do my best to find ways to love you,
but nothing seems to have worked.

I give you my time in hopes that you will return the favor,
but all I get is criticism and disappointment…

I am trying to be positive, but you keep being negative.
I don’t know how much more of this I can take
before I break or run away.

I know your life isn’t perfect and neither is mine,
so why do you put others down all the time?
is it a game to you that you’re trying to win?
don’t you know you are going to lose it all in the end?

I can feel myself drowning in a pool of self doubt,
wondering how it’s all going to end…

God knows I don’t have a lot of money to spend,
but when I find an open door and ‘earn’ my wings,
I am going to soar!

and once  I am gone,  

I am not coming back,
I just want you to know that.

there's a time for everything and when it’s my time,
I am going to go.
I am going to take the dice and let it roll,
and leave the rest in God’s control.

someday I will be somebody,
and I will make a difference
just you wait and see...

now I am upset and filled with regret

I thought I knew you,
I thought I had you figured out…

you seemed like the ‘nice girl’
every boy dreams about!
you took the time to be my friend,
especially when we hung out over the weekends.

when you would call me to say, ayhey!
man, did that make my day!

but then things changed when your
true colors started to show,

and all the nice things
you did went out the window.

you acted like a jerk
and did things that really hurt.

and when I tell you how I feel
what’s your reply?

‘that’s just the way I am,
you wouldn’t understand,
so don’t even try.’

so now I am upset…
and filled with regret
for giving you a part of my heart
and in the end,
allowing you to break it.

be careful concerning what we say to one another

words can cheer you up
when you are down or cause you to stumble
and hit face first onto the ground.

words can touch your heart
or make you feel like you’re falling apart.

words can inform you of good news
or make your heart almost stop when you
find out that someone you knew is dead.

words can unite or cause us to fight!
words can be sweet and sweep us off our feet
or words can be mean and cut us really deep.

words can inspire and fill our hearts with desire
or words can perspire and make us feel like a liar.

words can bring life to one thing and death to another,
so let us be careful concerning what we say to one another.

stuck at one place

a strange feeling of stillness has crept into my life,
time’s flying literally, and I am stuck at one place…

I am growing as a professional, getting closer to set goals,
that’s where I wanted to be but it’s not exciting me any more…

the more I am getting there, timelines are getting squeezed,
lesser time I have for myself and lesser space for mental peace…

everything has become monotonous, fewer are things that change,
with no real activity, all seems to have gone out of shape…

something’s got to happen as I just want to break free,
long it has been since I spent on myself even a single day.

kaise kahein ki hum kaise jee rahein hain

ek ke baad ek musibat jhel rahe hain,
ek ho ke bhi tanha hum jee rahe hain,

kaun samjhe humare dil ka haal,
kaun jaane hum saans kaise le rahe hain,

juda ho ke to aadha jeevan kar liya apna,
bas us aadhe ko poora karne ki koshish kar rahe hain,

mushkilein hain jo kabhi daman nahi chordi humara,
kya kahein ki kis nate jheel rahe hain..

saath ho ke bhi saath nahi mera,
kaise kahe kaise unse door hum jee rahe hain,

kathinaaiyan aati hain kabhi darr ki shakal mein,
kaise batayein hum ki kaise saamna kar rahe hain,

saath jeene marne ki kasmein kha ke bhi saath nahi aaj,
kaise kahein hum kaise jee rahe hain,

bas marr rahe hain har pal har shaam,
unhein yaad kar kar bas khud ko koss rahe hain,

kaise kahein ki hum kaise jee rahein hain,
bas saansein chal rahi hain aur wakt kaat rahe hain..
