कोई ये कैसे बताए कि वो तनहा क्यों है,

कोई ये कैसे बताए कि वो तनहा क्यों है,
वो जो अपना था वही और किसी का क्यों है।
यही दुनिया है तो फिर ऐसी ये दुनिया क्यों है,
यही होता है तो आखिर यही होता क्यों है॥
इक ज़रा हाथ बढ़ा दें, तो पकड़ लें दामन,
उसके सीने में समा जाये हमारी धड़कन।
इतनी कुर्बत हैं तो इतना फासला क्यों है॥
दिल-ए-बर्बाद से निकला नहीं अब तक कोई,
इक लुटे घर पे दिया करता है दस्तक कोई।
आस जो टूट गयी फिर से बंधाता क्यों है॥
तुम मसर्रत का कहो या इसे गम का रिश्ता,
कहतें हैं प्यार का रिश्ता है जनम का रिश्ता।
है जनम का जो ये रिश्ता तो ये बदलता क्यों है॥

Hum gujre lamho ko yaad karte hain!

Wrote this one, on MSIT-IT farewell, I believe June, 11th 2006.. came across it today hence thought of posting it here.... not that good, but yeah special as related to colg life, wrote it 10 mins prior to reciting it in fromt of whole IT dept.. :P



Aaj waqt ki dehlej per khade ho kar hum gujre lamho ko
yaad karte hain!
He lamha najro ke samaksh hai hamare, woh beete samay
ko hum aaj yaad karte hain!!

Aaj sankalan karte hain in chaar saalon ka humnekya
khoya or kya paya
Kuch dost,kuch yaaden,kuch rishte, kuch naate
Jo yaad aane per,aankhon mein ashru chhod jate!!

Woh atkheliyan, woh saheliyan woh unki adayen
Woh teachers , woh professors woh unki sajayen!!

Is gujarte lamhen se hum rukne ki fariyaad karte hain
Aaj waqt ki dehlej per khade ho kar hum gujre lamho ko
yaad karte hain!

Woh parties, woh nightouts woh jhagde woh ladai
In sab ke beech hoti last night padahai!!

Woh Radhika ka sharmana, woh Nidhi ka itrana
Who Rajat ka classes ke beech proxy lagana

Woh Charu ki kitaben, woh Heena ke notes
Woh sari juniors sizzling and hot

Woh Chummi ke baal, who Neeraj ke gaal
Woh Gaurav ke classes mein dher saare sawal

Atul ki modeling, Manni ki coding
Ravish ki idding or Ayush ki driving

Hum aaj sab yaad karte hain!

Woh Canteen ki sharten, woh corridor ke chakkar
Woh Saini ki ladkion se hoti bewajah takkar

Woh football ke match woh hostel ki raaten
Woh hum sab mil ke besura gaate

Per aaj yeh sab khatam sa lagta hai………
Is gujarte lamhen se hum rukne ki fariyaad karte hain
Aaj waqt ki dehlej per khade ho kar hum gujre lamho ko
yaad karte hain!!

You are the reason, Y I live...

I close my eyes and try to sleep,
But thoughts of you I keep.
They flood my dreams,
Like the running streams.

You're my one and only choice,
I smile when I hear your voice.
I miss you when you're away,
I think about you all day.

When you hold me tight,
You make everything alright.
You cheer me up when I'm sad;
You calm me down if I'm mad.

You wrap your arms around my hips,
Holding me tight and kissing my lips.
Never let me go or I might fall,
Always be there if I shall call.

Take away my sadness and sorrow,
Show me there is always a tomorrow.
Tell me that everything is going to be fine,
Call me yours and I will call you mine.

You are a gift sent from above,
I write this poem for you love.
To tell you how I exactly feel,
To tell you this feeling is real.

I want this feeling to last forever,
I hope we'll always stay together.
And that our love stays strong,
