Early Dawn

I lay awake,

In the middle of the night,

Heart seems to long,

And the moon seems to laugh.

I don't know what goes on in your head,

But, I am lost in my thoughts.

The thoughts of why,

We can't stay together,

At loss of words,

Emotions well up,

And the tears don't seem to drop.

I needed a distraction,

But then came you,

Why does fate be so cruel,

It lays the heart bare,

Shows that it is possible,

But not something I get..

Can I cry, just once,

Drain the feelings out,

Go crash my life,

Knowing all along...

I am a soul of the wind,

And so shall I fly,

In the moment,

Not on my own accord,

Lands far and dry,

Searching for another smile..

सफ़रनामा

ज़िंदगी कि राह पर, तू अकेला हि तो हैं

सफर कि हर मोड पर, साथि तो नए हि हैं

प्यार बाँटते तू चल, दिल तो बड़ा तेरा हैं।

आई अजनबी तो क्या, दोस्त बनके रह जाएगी

ख़ुशी साथ मिलन कि, याद घम भुलायेगि

प्यार बाँटते तू चल, दिल भी हलका हो जाएगा।

जित्ने यार हो तेरे, उतना अमीर बनपाए

बात यह समझ तो ले, सब से जल्द जो हो पाए

प्यार बाँटते तू चल, दिल थोड़ा भर पाए।

बुरा न मान, अगर भूल गए लोग तुझे

तुम तो छोड़के चलें, न जाने कितने रास्तें,

प्यार बाँटते तू चल, दिल को मिले नए दास्तें।

Withered in Youth

I sat in thy seat,

Hoping thou shall see,

I sat in thy seat,

Hoping thou shall speak,

I sat in thy seat,

Hoping thou shall act...

I cried in thy seat,

Seeing thou turn blind,

I cried in thy seat,

Seeing thou turn deaf,

I cried in thy seat,

Seeing thou turn dumb...

Thou soul has turned weak,

My soul has settled for meek,

We dwindled at our peak...

Hatred, disenfranchisement,

Mockery, intimidation, nepotism,

Democracy, how have you and I become,

Hypocrisy of a withering civilization?
