Dastak

Mehsoos karna meri rooh ka deewanapan
jo tumse bichad kar kahi laapata hai

Ye dil to wahi hai jo pyar ka paimana peeta hai
Par dhadkan woh nahi jo
Teri jaan ki nazar par mit sakein.

TRANSLATED IN HINDI BELOW --

(मेहसूस करना मेरी रूह का दीवानापन
जो तुमसे बिछड़ कर कही लापता है

ये दिल तो वही है जो प्यार का पैमाना पीता है
पर धड़कन वह नहीं जो
तेरी जान की नज़र पर मिट सकें !!)

Gum-Naam

Gumnaam hai woh jo dard ka alfaaz jaante hain,
Kismat ki nahi, Dil ki fariyaad jaante hain,

Mohabbat thi to bayaan kuch is tarah karte,
Jaise labon se narazgi ek silsila banke bahi ho,
Wahi aah, wahi moh
Wahi sur jo tumhare honthon se roothkar,
Mere dil me dastak de....

Laughter

One day
it came just like the waves of the ocean
and swept away her darkest secrets.

Her laughter;
her virtues
her adolescence
her curves
her sorrow

Her anxiety and
It just left her with the absurdity of life
that she was being played by.
Death & Her was her final choice.
One to the right and one to the left.
After which the only happiness she envisioned was
being dead.
