War..

Every leader says they don't want a war,

And yet every minute, someone dies, not knowing what for!

Region, religion, boundaries and race,

What a petty reason to fight, what a big disgrace!

People are in their homes, with no fear, no care,

Going on with their lives, with no time to spare..

While soldiers are fighting, for a cause they believe,

On Thanksgiving, Christmas and even new year's eve..

Whose idea was it, to open the floodgate?

To unleash destruction and show off our hate?

When did it become ok to kill one another,

Just coz our opinion is different from the other..

How can we stop this fight to see who's right?

How can we stop from proving each other's might?

If you are right, why do I have to be wrong?

Why can't we just learn to get along?

A war maybe won and a winner decided,

But the joy of victory would be misguided,

For a war does not decide who is better or who is deft,

A war does not decide who is right, only who is left...

You don't know what it's like...

You don't know what it's like...

To always be so optimistic,
When your whole life is in shambles..

You don't know what it's like...

To be someone else's sunshine,
When you yourself are in total darkness...

You don't know what it's like...

To be there for someone every time,
but you are all alone all the time...

You don't know what it's like...

To be the reason for someone's smile,
When your own laughter sounds hollow...

You don't know what it's like...

To help someone in need,
When you yourself could do with a helping hand..

You don't know what it's like...

To be so loving towards everyone,
When you yourself are loved so less...

You don't know what it's like...

For me, to be me..

kya karun.. main kya karun..

Jo bhi mujhe achche lagen, Unhe main achcha nahi lagta,
Jinhe bhi kahun apni dil ki baat, Unhe wo sachcha nahi lagta...
Pyaar karke kya faida, jab unhe wo pata hi nahi,
Karun to bhi kya karun, Kuch samajh aata hi nahi...

What do you do?

What do you do when you love someone so much,
But to them you don't really mean anything as such?

What do you do when loving someone makes you sore,
But all you want to do is love them even more?

What do you do when the love has given you nothing but pain,
But all you want to do is drench in it's rain?

What do you do when everything feels wrong,
But you can't do anything, but go along?

What do you do when you know it's not meant to be,
But your heart and soul would just not agree?

What do you do when you know you have lost,
But you want to win back, no matter what the cost?

What do you do when no matter how much you fight,
You know things would never be alright?

What do you do when the only person who mattered,
Is the person who broke your heart and left it shattered?

Why Oh Why Oh Why...

What is it you do,
that I keep coming back to you?

Why is it so hard,
to keep up my guard?

Why does your sight make my heart stop,
and then make it spin like a top?

Why can't you be mine,
And make it all fine?

Sometimes, the question is not why.. It's why not..

What did I get by loving you the way I did?
What was the point of keeping my feelings well hid?

why did I do it when I knew it would remain unsaid?
even when the weight of it, crushed me like lead?

Why did I let myself fall for you?
Knowing very well that you would never have a clue?

These are question I keep asking myself..
maybe having loved someone is enough in itself..

Culprit

Na samajh paaye ho tum mujhko,
Na samjhe ho mere pyaar ko,
Is baat ka main dosh doon tumko,
ya ghunhegar maanun apne aapko?

Let's fix things...

Baatein to tumse karni hai kahi,
Darta hoon ki keh na paaunga sahi...

Jaanta hoon teri isme galati nahi hai,
Par choth to bahut mujhe hi lagi hai...

Chahta hoon ki tum bhi samjho mujhko,
Kyun ki chod nahi sakta aiven hi tujhko...

Meri zaroorat to sirf teri hi khushi hai,
Wo khushi, jisme mera bhi koi hissa hai..

Sab se peeche hum khaden..

Your past may haunt you, you may not be in peace,
but I won't try to wipe out your old memories..
You might end up comparing with what you had,
but I promise I won't let it make me sad..
Thoughts of him might linger at the back of your mind,
but u won't regret choosing me, I won't leave you behind..
I won't claim to love you more..
But my love will be true, that's for sure..
Regain ur faith in love and romance,
Go ahead and give us a chance..

Incomplete...

The less I try to think of you,
The more I end up missing you..
The more I try to get over you,
The more I fall in love with you..

You are fun, quirky and claim to be dark,
but with no one else i can feel this spark,
Your eyes, your smile and talks so fine,
I wish as you are, you wud be mine..

The one..

I was the one who wiped your tears,
I was the one who swept away your fears...
I was the one who stood by you..
I was the one who stayed true..

I was your support, I was your pillar,
When your life felt empty, I was the filler..
I was the one who supported your decisions,
Even when these decisions went through numerous revisions..

I was the one who loved you so much,
Loved you to the extent, you'd never known such..
But one fine day, when you could finally move on,
I was nowhere in your mind, from your thoughts I was gone..

I was the one who completely understood you,
But you chose someone else, someone you barely knew..
All I could do, was stand by and see,
See you fall for him, fall for him rather than me..

Why couldn't you see that I loved you to the core?
Why couldn't you see that I would have loved you more??
He wasn't wrong for you, but he was a complete mess,
Yet, you were happy with him, happy for less..

And that's when it struck me - I knew what I had to do,
I would remain the friend - the friend who helped you through..
And so I killed the love, the love I had for you,
Just to see you happy, happy without a clue..

Simpler to say...

Try as I might to keep such thoughts at bay,
I can't help but feel that we are moving away,
I know you are busy & so I should be okay,
but we rarely meet or talk, be it weekend or weekday..

I am afraid you don't need me anymore,
Just thinking that makes me feel all sore,
Not that you were totally dependent till the core,
But I wish things would be as they were before..

A time when you used to tell me all your things,
from office to home & even all your flings,
A time when we used to do a lot of talking,
A time when we did a lil bit of walking..

We work in the same place,
But don't even meet face to face,
we live so close to each other,
But we don't even see one another..

I miss all those wonderful times that we spent,
I keep wondering where it all went,
I miss your I-don't-care attitude that was so untrue,
I even miss your crankiness & the NOs that you threw..

Maybe it's simpler to say - I miss you..

Yaadein..

Tere yaadon ke sahare,
har din thoda jee leta hoon main,
Unhi yaadon ke wajah se,
har din thoda aur marr jaata hoon main..

What do you do when what is right, feels wrong?

Na teri aane ki khabar hai mujhko, Na teri jaane ki..
Na khabar hai kya ho raha hai teri zindagi mein..
Na saath waqt guzaar paate hain hum,
Na waqt guzaarne ka mauka dete ho tum..

kya main bhura maanun ki tunmare paas waqt nahi mere liye,
Ya is baat ka ki tumko jo waqt milta hai, usme main yaad nahi aata?
Samajhta hoon ye waqt kisi aur ko dena zaroori hai,
Par kya us waqt ka ek hiss apne liye maangna itni bhuri hai?

Dil kehta hai kuch galat ho raha hai,
Dimag kehta hai, yehi sahi ho raha hai,
Dil aur dimag ke is jagde ke beech,
Dil bhi kahin jaanta hai ki dimag hi sahi hai..

Once in a blue moon..

I really wish it would come soon,
The call that you make once in a blue moon,
Try as I might to act that I don't care,
I soon find myself giving my mobile the stare...

Waiting impatiently, fidgeting about,
Knowing you'll call but still having a doubt,
Not wanting to be the person who sticks too much,
But not knowing what else I can do as such..


Wanting to know how are things going,
Wanting to hear everything that you are doing,
Praying and wishing that you'd call soon,
The call that you make once in a blue moon...

I Wish...

When I see you upset, when I see you cry,
Before I could think, to ask the reason why,
My hands reach up, reach up to dry,
To wipe away the tears, the tears from your eye..

Seeing you hurt, is a very painful sight,
Controlling my anger, takes all my might..
I want to hold you close and I want to hold you tight,
Till you stop crying and start to feel alright..

I have never wanted to be there for someone,
The way I want to be there for you..
But I know that's not how it's done,
I know it's not my place to do...

I know you have someone else to keep you strong,
but if I too want to be there, is it so wrong?
I wish you needed me, the way you used to,
I wish you needed me, the way I need you..

Angel...

We were always so near but never knew each other,
We had never talked before or did not even bother..
Considering the short time, in which our friendship grew,
The comfort that we share, no one can outdo..

No matter how much, you manage to annoy,
You are the true reason, for my laughter and joy..
I keep looking for excuses, to spend time with you,
Coz I can be myself, only when I am with you..

I don’t have to think or put words to weigh,
Coz you wont judge me, by just what I say..
No need to lie, no reason to hide,
Coz no matter what, you'll be on my side..

No matter how wrong what I say can be taken,
Your faith in my good side has always remained unshaken..
I may think a thousand thoughts and finally come to one,
But you know where my mind roamed and explanations I have to give none..

We have told things to each other, that no one else has known,
The love and affection you showered on me, to no one else you've shown.
You were my angel, who took care of me,
Doing what was right, even against my plea..

Then without a single word, without even a fight,
You chose to change, change overnight..
You always thought I knew why you had to go,
But I never felt the reason was strong enough though..

All that remains are just memories of yesteryears,
Thinking of them, fills my eyes with tears..
I still do wonder, what did go wrong?
How did we break, this friendship so strong?

I have repeated our conversations, a million times in my head,
Trying hard to see, if you had said something that I misread..
I have searched for a reason, I have searched for a clue,
Something that explains what you put me through..

The more I think, the more I feel,
This pain you gave me, is never going to heal..
After all these years, I am still ready to wait,
Just to know, what changed the love to hate..

Farishte...

Jab tum dukhi ho,
          Ye ghum mein sahara bann ke aate hain...
Jab tum khush ho,
          Ye khushi ke jashn manane aate hain...
Jab tum akele ho,
          Ye tumari tanhayi ko bhoolane aate hain...
Jab tum kisi ke saath ho,
          Ye us pal ko aur yaadgaar banane aate hain...

Har kisi ke dil ko,
          Inhone kabhi to chua hai...
Har kisi ke zindagi ke,
          Ye kabhi to hissa bane hain,
Jisko jo zaroorat ho...
          Us roop mein aa baraste hain,
Ye sirf baarish ki boondhen nahi...
          Khuda ke bheje farishte hain...

Adhoori baatein..

Jitni ye teri khamoshi badti hai,
Utni hi teri baatein yaad aati hain,
Jitni tu mujhse door jaati hai,
Utni hi teri yaadein mujhe sathathi hain..

Har din saath raha karte the,
Ab bas yaadein reh gayi,
Cheezen hazaron kehni thi tumse,
Ab wo sab baatein reh gayi..

Har din tujhe betaabi se doondha hai,
Har pal teri yaad mein roya hai,
Kaash tumse ek baar main mil paata,
Ab tak jo kaha na, woh sab keh paata...

Maybe its just me..

Whenever I see you, gloomy and sad,
Something inside me breaks and I go mad,
I don’t know what happens, I don’t know why,
I want to hurt the person, who made you cry..

I know you don’t need me, I know you ll be fine,
But I feel the need to protect you, even if you're not mine..
You seek the same from someone else, you don’t need me there,
But I cant stand by doing nothing, I cant stop my care..

Every time I offer my support, you just say "no, thank you",
I wish you knew what it does to me, I wish there was someway you knew..
But no matter how much you push me away, I ll always be there for you..
Coz the bond that ties me down to you, is something strong and true..

Its hard to explain why I am like this, when it comes to you,
I have searched for a reason, searched for a meaning & even searched a clue..
Maybe I feel there's something I should do, Maybe I feel you need me,
But the more and more I think about it, the more I start to see - Maybe it isn't you that needs me, maybe its just me..
