Were You Even There!?

As I sit beside the window,
Seeing time pass by
With a glass of wine in my hand;
Which I sip slow,
I wonder how we came to an end
We never deserved,
How you abandoned me
Without being perturbed.

Things I did To get your attention
Mixed signals from your end,
Leading to many contemplations.
One moment you loved me like no other
Like loving me was your flair;
And the other moment you vanished Making me wonder
Were you even there!?

Wander'lust'

As he gently went through her appearance from top to bottom;
And ran his eyes through the curves,
He realised how much he missed exploring her passionately!
As if his life depended on doing so.
Although she tried to keep him at bay with her cold and hostile nature;
She couldn't deter his advances.
Finally after he switched off the roaring engine of his bike
And sat on the meadow to behold the beauty of the orange tainted sun going down behind the mountains,
He asked himself, "Who said that lust only had to do with physical attraction towards a human being?
Shouldn't it ideally also include Wonderlust?"

And when I loved;
I loved them more,
I loved them harder,
With a hope to be loved back,
and not rendered asunder.
But,
All I got was unappeased hunger,
The hunger for love that starved my heart.
And all I got was disregard,
Backs turned to my dismay,
And brought to my knees so hard.
Now that I rose from the ashes,
I started thriving in hatred and vengeance.
And I shall bring their downfall and decay,
I shall make them beg and pray,
And all the things they did to me,
For those I shall make them pay!

O Motherland of sages
The land of Yamuna and Ganges,
The nurturer of a billion children
May our devotion to you be strong across ages.

O Motherland of brave children,
We stand in unity
Ready to annihilate those,
Who try to break your integrity.

O Motherland of mine,
I bow to thee
As blessed I am to be,
A son of thine.

Let's just coexist,
Neither do you see me,
And nor do I.
Let's just reside in each other's hearts,
Neither do you fall for me,
And nor do I.
Let's just dream about each other,
Neither do you yearn for me,
And nor do I.
Let's just be far flung lovers,
Neither do you rest in my arms,
And nor do I.
Let's just be each other's bad memory,
Neither do you remember me,
And nor do I.
Let's just disregard each other,
Neither do you belong to my stories
And nor do I.
But, let's just coexist,
You just pray for me,
And so shall I...

ঠাঁই দাওনি তুমি যদিও,
ভাসিয়ে দিলে জলে।
ত্রাণ তহবিলে জমা পরেছি
দয়া করবে হয়তো কেউ,
তবে মনে মনে পণ করেছি
আসুক যতই ঢেউ;
হাঁটবো না তোমার পাড়ায়,
দেখবো না তোমার স্বপ্ন,
গাইবো না তোমার গান,
যমে রয়েছে বুকে অনেক অভিমান
ফিরবো না কভু তোমার গলে,
কারন দাওনি ঠাঁই কোলে;
ভাসিয়ে দিলে জলে।।

The coin had two sides
On one side was engraved family,
On the flip side was the forbidden love he fell for like a silly.
And he knew not which to choose,
For both meant like two worlds he couldn't lose.
The worlds; betting on him equally,
A decision he couldn't tally.
The turmoil of mixed emotions,
Which felt like the depth of oceans
And a delicate dilemma playing at the back of his mind,
Should he choose his past or the future?
An answer he couldn't find.
Finally,
He chose the path, which destiny had already defined.

When the heart feels like a homeless,
It goes around searching its morning star; in the darkness,
And I try shielding it away,
With a blanket of illusions,
But I know; one day,
We shall meet; in an unknown neighbourhood, in a solitary evening,
And sing fairy tales in each others ears,
While the northern star and the moon light our way,
And relay the story of this miracle called Love.

Stainless love;
unsolicited memories
haunt my path,
and mind's galleries.
You walked in my alleys,
and stared through the windows of my eyes,
Unbothered by the blizzard's fury.
Tear smudged pillows,
know many of those stories,
And the red liquid;
Is now my elixir,
Unsolicited memories......

Jee nahi chahta kisise judne ko;
Na chahta hai kisiko jodne ko.
Yoon bewaja unke galiyon se guzarne ka jo junoon tha,
ab woh bhi jese dum todne lage hai.
Ab toh jese yeh akelapan nasha sa chadh gaya hai,
Bewafai maqsad sa ban gaya,
Halaton ne kiya esa sitam ke
Unse betahasha nafrat ab mera fitrat ban gaya hai...
