Time has weathered the remains of us
Subliminally erasing the memories
Loving you was the sanest mistake
Abandoning my insecureties.

I took a deep dive at the ocean of my despair
But i swam across to the shore
Drowning into my fallacy seemed easy but,
I want to breathe the air of life again and death no more.

My ashtray is filled with the ashes of beautiful past
As i have smoked the ciggerates of time
I vow to burn out the rest of it slowly
As my soul breaks the rhyme .

They say people come and people go
Except the one who is to stay
And life doesn't makes no sense
Until you let yourself fray.

Gulaab ko kaha pata tha ke uska swagat bandook se hoga
Nazm ko kaha pata tha ke uske shabd o main dard hoga
Mera kalam toh sirf ek zariya hain apne mann ko shant rakh neka
Abhi toh laakho unkahe kisse honge,
Jaha humara zikr hoga .

Ishq se tha tera naam
Par kambakht ishq nah likha tha humare muqaddar main .
Kisi aur janam jab hum milein
Zara khuda se zikr karna humare ulfat ka
Agar fir bhi naa ho payi meri
Toh reh lenge tere intezaar main, phirse .

I was trapped inside my head
Secluded, forgetting the girl I never met
Lost in my fallacy I ended distraught
Inside I was broken but pretending to be not.

Disdaining was her act of make believe
I was just a puppet trying to heave
Heave her from misery
Save her from treachery

God forbid my love which was forsaken
I was left bereft again but awaken
Pondering of the peace I never get
Secluded, forgetting the girl I never met

The cold droplets embraces the moist windowpane
To soothe it from its warmness
When the frost cripples up nothing remains the same
As I slowly renunciate the love and hate
For the girl whom I never met.

-

Myriads of pages unturned still
Unspoken words left behind
Empty bedsheets unexplored
Caught my sight
When love and hate collide.

Gazing out to the neon world
When all I am covered with is shades of back and white
Her love was meant to be forever
Tonight the air doesn't feels right
When love and hate collide .

Incandescent love for her fades away
Floating and sinking under my insecurities
Crawling in my skin is only solitude
I have already lost the fight
When love and hate collide .

This time when I am gone
My heart will leave with me too
Burning in its own misery
It has exhausted it's might
When love and hate collide .

Rooh se rooh milke bani thi humari tasveere
Safed panne ki thi humari dastaan
Main toh chala tha apna zikr dhund ne uspar
Par mujhe toh mili sirf tanhaiyan

Saadgi thi kahi mere pyaar main jo samajh nah aaya
Ki mere muqaddar pe thi sirf barbaadiyan .
Aaj kahi main hogaya gair tumhare liye
Phir bhi mere dil main tum toh rahogi meri .

-

Kuch durr chalo tum , kuch durr chale hum
Aaj raahe kuch lambi hain , aur dil hain namm .
Sahil ho tum meri main kasti tumhara
Fir kyu yeh faasle,kyu main firu awaara
Saama lo hume apne agosh main
Bana lo apna sahara
Par aaj kahi tum khafaa ho humse
Hum bhi khush toh nahi,
Dooriyaan badh si gayi hain
Aur kisi ko malumaat tak nahi .
Aasha hain ki phir milenge hum aagle janam
Kho jaunga kahi tumhare ulfat main
Likhunga tumhare liye nazm
Fark sirf yehi hogi ki koi gair nah hoga humare darmiyaan
Kuch durr chalo gi tum , kuch durr chalenge hum
Raahe toh lambi hogi par yeh dil naa hoga namm .

She is like a cool summer breeze
I am a wandering traveller under sun,
She embraces me with her love
She keeps me from burning inside out ,
She is my only relief in this torrid existence.
Under her dark ravenous hair is where I crawl
Clobbered and crumbled when I fall,
She fixes my shattered pieces, she fixes me all .
Underneath her endearment I thrive a bit more everyday,
With her hand in my hand we shall win this lifelong fray.

I met her in my dream that night
She was wandering in my memories
What a beautiful sight it was
As she pranced around me.

Her eyes spoke of love , radiating through her neverending joy
The long cold night has just set in, as our warm heart pounds

Smoke from the chimney diluting the night sky
The moon and the stars peeping from the heaven

As she held me softly, and she murmured her feelings .

Her deep eyes staring at me for once to revive her soul
I held her close as her lips shuddered ,
I let her lips feel mine as we both got strayed to an unknown realm .

She clasped her fingers to mine as her hair all tangled embraced my face
Snuggling into my arms she laid ,
That night we held each other as the time passed us by
Until the morrow when I woke up and found her picture in my hand, and a bottle of vodka on the ground .

Do you still hear the notes of our favourite song?
Or has it faded after all this time ?
The distance we travelled as we wither in time.
Have you ever pondered about us ?
Your skin once radiantly glowing has had its taste of time ,
My eyes once latched upon you, has gazed at this ugly world .
Finding solace in your presence once more for the last time
Before we both wean away together for one last time
Only to unite in the life after .
