बंद किताब ज़िन्दगी

बंद किताब ज़िन्दगी
देखो तुमने फिर खोल दी

गुलाबों की सूखी पंखुडियां
रखकर तुमने फिर छोड़ दी

उड़ते हैं पन्ने हवा से
अरमानों की खिड़की तुमने फिर छोड़ दी

गम ही गम थे दफ़न यहाँ तो
यह कौनसी ख़ुशी साथ तुमने ढो ली

कहा था यादों का समुन्दर है
साडी अपनी देखो तुमने फिर भिगोली

साये में धुप

.

साये में धुप है या धुप में साया

बहुत बार गया वहां, मगर समज मेरे नहीं आया

.

कितना भी धुतकारो यह नहीं जाती

शायद मेरी ही तरह, इन यादों को भी कोई लेने नहीं अया

.

मांगी थी छत और मिल गया आसमा

और कहते हैं लोग, उसे अभी देना नहीं अया

.

हैरत होती है हर एक बात पर

हमे ही शायद अभी सहना नहीं आया

.

रुक रुक के चलता है, सबसे डरता है

इस व्यापारी को अभी बिज़नस नहीं आया

.

साये में धुप है या धुप में साया

बोहुत बार गया में वहां मगर समज मेरे नहीं आया

सुंदर सी नज्म

मिटटी में मैली हुयी थूक जैसी
रख कर भूली रोटी में बिखरी फफूं जैसी

घिस्से हुए बर्तन पे चढी गहरी कायी जैसी
डालडा के आखरी घोल से बनी दशेरे की मिठाई जैसी

उलटी में गिरे घड़ी किये रुमाल जैसी
पसीने में लिपटे, खास्ते हम्माल जैसी

छिले हुए पैरों के फोडों से बहते पस जैसी
नाली के पास बने बरफ के लडू पे छिडके खस जैसी

जली हुयी चमड़ी की उखड्ती परत जैसी
चने की दाल में गिरी इमारती पर चढी बरत जैसी

हलकी औरत के कपडों से महकते गजरों जैसी
बार बार बदन छुते बदसूरत हिजडों जैसी

सच्चाई है
इस पर भला मैं सुंदर सी नज्म कैसे लिखूं

"Sometimes I wonder... will God ever forgive us for what we've done to each other? Then I look around and I realize...God left this place a long time ago."
- Danny Archer from Blood Diamond.

Signal Fire by Snow Patrol

The perfect words never crossed my mind,
Cause there was nothin' in there but you.
I felt every ounce of me screaming out,
But the sound was trapped deep in me.
All I wanted just sped right past me,
While I was rooted fast to the earth,
I could be stuck here for a thousand years,
Without your arms to drag me out.

There you are standing right in front of me.
There you are standing right in front of me.
All this fear falls away to leave me naked,
Hold me close, cause I need you to guide me to safety.

No, I won't wait forever.
No, I won't wait forever.

In the confusion and the aftermath,
You are my signal fire.
The only resolution and the only joy,
Is the faint spark of forgiveness in your eyes.

There you are standing right in front of me.
There you are standing right in front of me.
All this fear falls away to leave me naked,
Hold me close, cause I need you to guide me to safety.

No, I won't wait forever.
No, I won't wait forever.
No, I won't wait forever.

Don't expect me to be your friend by Lobo

I stopped sending flowers to your apartment
You said you aren't home much anymore
I stopped dropping by without an appointment
Cause I'd hear laughter coming through your door.

Sometimes late at night you'll still call me
Just before you close your eyes to sleep
You make me vow to try and stop by sometime
Baby that's a promise I can't keep.

I love you too much to ever start liking you
So lets just let the story kinda end
I love you too much to ever start liking you
So don't expect me to be your friend.

I don't walk down through the village or other places
That we used to go to all the time
I'm trying to erase you from my memory
Cause thinking of you jumbles up my mind.

You always act so happy when I see you
You smile that way you take my hand and then
Introduce me to your latest lover
That's when I feel the walls start crashing in.

I am nothing
I am nothing
I stand for what I am
I stand for me
But don't you know, this me is nothing
I am nothing
I am nothing

Once there was a stone
Into the river, that was thrown
The pain of the ripples I couldn't see
So in threw even me
The world laughed
But the river said nothing
I am nothing
I am nothing

Into the dark of the night
I told her my plight
I told her, I need to feel
I need to touch her skin,
That is forever bleeding
Don't you know that - blood is the real thing?
She closed her eyes
Her lips said nothing
I am nothing
I am nothing

You may change
I may change
That clock that never changes, may also change
But the season won't change a thing
It shall forever keep changing
As if you are nothing
I am nothing

What is it you want? God asked
What is it you want? God asked
I thought of a lot of things
But I asked for nothing
I am nothing
I am nothing
