Aur ek dhun..

ek dhun
ek saaz
har pal
ek awaaz

ek ehsaas
Aur ek saans
us saans mein
teri aas

Ek dhadkan
Ek dil
Har ghadi mein
Tu mil

Aa paas
Aur ek baar
Na ho fir
Koi daraar

Ek takraar
Na le jaaye fir
Ek jhoke mein
Na jaaye gir

Meri dhun
Mera geet
Meri preet
Aur ek meet

Yeh vaqt ruke
Toh sar jhuke
Tere aage aye humnawaaz
Yeh pyaar na reh jaaye
bas banke ek awaaz.

....Urf......ek dhun.

Us saaz ki tarah
Jab bijli kadakti hai
Meri rooh ke har pehlu main
Khushboo kuch yuh mehekti hai

Jaisi khule neele aasmaan mein
Naachte hue taare
Is jahan ke har tarane ko lekar
Yuhin bas jhoom uthte hain

Tere pyaar ka sangeet
Jab mann mein teher jaata hain
Us alfaaz ka har pal
Meri saason mein bas jaata hain

Jaise ek khilti hui kali kaa mann
Chup chup kar, tu bhi sun
Is kaaynaat mein bajti hui
Har Shahnaayi...urf...ek dhun.

Ek cup chai.....!

When it rained after college

And the lectures were called off

When we didnt have an umbrella

Drenched then with a cold and a cough

Thats what helped

The smell of the wet soil

Those onion pakoda's

soaked in a plate of oil.

Chotu was wet with water dripping hair

Running all around, the only guy there

Ek plate kaanda bhajji, my oh my !

Hot hot served with ek cup chai .. !

What fun that was...

The Chai hardly had a taste

The pakoda's were funky

But nothing was a waste

That wooden broken bench 

With broken feet all four

Somehow took all of us

We'd push, just one more.

The leaking ceiling up above

Where the rain dripped from 

Over on the table, right onto my palm

Holy Moly, that made me feel so calm

There's no rain now but oh there's snow 

No Chotu here, no one who I know

Shapeless Pakoda's replaced with Onion rings round

Wet fragrant mitti replaced with white white ground.

No college now, I am still in 'school'

School at 25 ? Am I a fool ?

That broken bench's gone, I now have a desk

No open air, am I in a grotesque ?

Its raining today and Starbucks is all

that I have around, why would I lie ?

Oh those steamy little shapeless things

Oh God and I crave for Ek cup chai....!!

Unbated Abyss

Will it alter my life ?
I feel like it already did
Though I did the same things I do everyday
This thought is new and I just cant get rid.

If we consummate our assignation
It will irrevocably shake me up
My desires will screenplay the future
My eyes will sum it up.

I have a feeling what if
I am left alone in this culmination
At the end of the war of love
Is it going to be a rejuvenation ?

My wish is the villain
In this depth bottomless
Its hard to fall in love with a stranger
Am I scared if its meaningless ?

stranger oh you stranger
why did you take my heart away once again
Once again, at the end of five years
Once again, will everything end ?

A coupla friends walked a coupla blocks.

A coupla friends walked a coupla blocks
Talked and strolled and sang along
Stopped by the Peet's coffee shop
Wrote down what was right and wrong

In their book of friendship forever
In the walk they knew would end never
Promises and trust touched the top
Fate and paths would not change ever

The couple blocks ended then
The talk and walk ended when
Promises still remained though
Time got knead tough as a dough

The clock ticked and it was a year over
Talks and the walks both were slower
Both had missions at a challenge
The shelf carrying their picture got lower and lower

Time ticked again, and it was a decade gone
Missions were over but they were all alone
The ropes were pulled oh so apart
The knots were broken and the book was torn

A thought flew across one of the minds
My friend oh my friend got lost somewhere
I wished I cared and waited there
That coffee shop, those couple blocks
Friendship forever we had written where

Now I have no one to talk and walk
Now I have no one that I wish I can lock
In the moments that I lived then
In the promises that I made when

But this world is small and round and round
Somewhere on this scented ground
I'll draw the arc that reaches my friend
the book that was torn, again we'll mend.

Run Away Kid......

Break this prison and set yourself free
Break all those bonds you've been in
Run Away from the under the shadow
Of the ever sheltering Palm tree
Run away kid run away far
Run away far enough where you see no bar.

Run away there where you see no one
Run away far from where the wind cant turn
Run away and touch your dreams
Run away and let the world burn

Care of no one, not even dear
Care of no one and dont you fear
Run away kid from your nocturnal escapades
Run away kid, let no one come near

Let the world be left alone without you
Bear no brunt of the untold future
Dont run behind something so uncertain
Run but away from God's own nature

Let the marathon begin today
Run away from the haunting thoughts
Jump and skip and touch the sky
Be sure to reach those unseen spots

One day you'll be free and gone
To witness the serene love
One day you'll see faith in the moment
That day you'll trust the tide
You'll believe in someone and smile
That day you'll know all your sorrows died

You'll see the stars singing
And you'll dance with the moon
The universe will be splendid with you around
You'll know the world's gonna end soon.

Bags of Boredom !

Bags of boredom, all unfolded today.

Bags of boredom, deflated

Do ya'll know what I'm talking about ?

Yep, its one of those days fate-d !

One of those days, when it feels so loose

One of the days when coffee doesnt help

One of those days, when you dont feel like mousse

Not even chocolate, you just wanna yelp !

The inflamed sameness, is sore now

Its 2 in the day, and I'm yawning away

Email check nor movie check disturbs it

Its all the same, total dismay !

A load of work pending on the tier

Oh man ! Wondering, can I just retire ?? !!

Before all this psyches me out

Before I get a depression bout

4.30 and now 4.31, not a minute is passing by

Can any of you reading this, at all tell me why ?

No no, its not a monday, I knew you'd make a guess....

Its just me today, alright, let me confess.

Looks like, the clock is dreamy too today

Uhh....speed's not on its regular radar anymore ?

Whoa Whoa Whoa !! is it 'Time' we're talking of ?

Hah !! what an absolute lie to the core !

Finally its 5 now, atleast can think of heading out

I know I came in late today, so ?

Dont you cheat somedays ?

When dullness screams go , go , go !

Never mind, its all in the mind someone said

But what when's the mind's on a sway ?

I don't have mine today with me

Well, sigh ! I guess even this will pass away.
