Firefly

into the flames of a foretold destiny, I dance 
flickering around me, the start of a doomed romance 
peals of heat lick my body 
pearls of pain penetrate my skin
what am i to you but just another firefly
to be consumed and sinned 
but for me you are more than just a flame
I am committed
to my unchangeable destiny 
I am bound
to my inexplicable irony
for what am i to do but embrace you in my dance of death
turn to ashes, no ceremony, no wreath, 
fulfill my life by making a choice to die 
Just so that
I can pass through your rings of fire and feel a moment 
of unexplained joy
what am I, but a simple firefly 
doomed since the beginning of time
directionless through life
purposeful in death 
why did He create me such?
Must be a reason, I know not of 
Must be treason, or an eternal sin
or an unpardonable act, unknown to me 
but many lives must have come and gone 
haven't I repaid enough
hasn't my debt come to a nil 
isn't there a better destiny for me to fulfill? 
the world sees me 
as I glow in the dark, but there's a void inside
what am I, but a simple firefly?

That place called 'you'

MELTING IN YOUR EYES, DREAMS THAT GO NOWHERE

reasons to change everything, that heartbreaking despair

and yet I cant change, I am what I am

Isn't it enough for you, that in this moment I care?

words that mean nothing, silences that speak

into the night we go, into a world that soaks..

In quiet pauses, in empty noises, in meaningless memories...

....in endless embraces

dawn is about to break, what do I have to gain

there's warmth in your arms, I don't even know your name

But I do know you,  

the color of kohl in your eyes, the scent of henna in your mane 

nights end, suns rise, 

each night, I see you

I see you in despair, and I see your despair, 

the hint of a tear in your eyes, 

telling me to change

But what I am to do, I am what I am 

Isn't it enough for you, that seasons go by,

I am with you, for you I've cared?

Why should I make memories

for they've always failed me 

why should I ask what you are called 

and have a name to remember you by

Why should I cherish our talks 

Keep them bottled as pickled memories

why should I open a jar and pull out a conversation

and read a chapter to remember you by

Why should I mark my skin

with the softness of your indelible touches

why should I seek to find you

in the sweetness of your intimate kisses

Why should I tell you about myself

Little anecdotes to piece me by

why should you care who I am 

Isn't it enough, that I love you in this moment?

A little piece of you I shall always keep

in the deepest part of my soul

Marked by no name, tagged as no memory,

bound to my inner self, linked to my destiny

The place I retreat to when I think of 'you'.

na hum tumhe bhoole, na tumne humein yaad kiya..

chaurahe par jis imaarat ki pehli eenth teen saal pehle rakhi thi

aaj us par gyarah manzilein ban gayi hain

din mahine saal guzar gaye

na hum tumhe bhoole, na tumne humein yaad kiya

bagal mein jo buudhi amma rehti thi, wo zara aur buudhi ho gayi hai

unke maathe ki jwo hurriyaan, ab is shehar ki sadko se milne lagi hain

din mahine saal guzar gaye

na hum tumhe bhoole, na tumne humein yaad kiya

chaundhvi ka wo sharmila chaand, ab thoda aur sharmaata hai

baadalon se nikalte nikalte, ab saari raat lagata hai

din mahine saal guzar gaye

na hum tumhe bhoole, na tumne humein yaad kiya

aasmaan ke wo unginat taare, ab dheere dheere mutthi ki ungliyon mein samane lage hain,

mitti se dhake aakash mein, bas kuch hi tim-timate nazar aate hain,

din mahine saal guzar gaye

na hum tumhe bhoole, na tumne humein yaad kiya

wo neem ka ped, jis ki shaak par ek chanchal koyal har subah gungunati thi,

pyaar ke geet wo gaati thi, ab uski awaaz zara madham se aati hai

din mahine saal guzar gaye

na hum tumhe bhoole, na tumne humein yaad kiya

july ka ab mahina hai, baarishein ab thoda intezaar karvaati hain,

pehle june mein badal garajte the, ab neeche dekh bas muskurate hain,

din mahine saal guzar gaye

na hum tumhe bhoole, na tumne humein yaad kiya

aaj hum yahi hain, zindagi hai kuch kadam aage,

un dino ki baat kuch aur thi, jab jeene ki kuch fursat thi,

kuch sukoon sa tha, kuch khushi si thi,

hum tumhare dil mein the, tum hamare,

na bhoolne ki zaroorat thi, na yaad rakhne ki..

ab..

din mahine saal guzar gaye

na hum tumhe bhoole, na tumne humein yaad kiya

wo naya naya pyaar

wo naya naya sa pyaar

subah paanch ki halki baarish mein

dhadakte dil ka meetha izhaar

wo geeli vaadiyon ke beech

guzarte motorcycle ki dheemi raftaar

tumse milne ki wo chaahat, wo pehla pehla khumaar

mudte sadkon se teri baatein karna

udti mitti se teri shikayat karna

fisalti boondon ke moti mahal mein, teri hasi ko karna giraftaar

wo tere shehar ke paas aate hi

dil ka madham madham sulagna

us gali us chaurahe us mod par aate hi,

meri saanson ka ruk jana har baar

wo tere ghar ki gungunati doorbell

wo tere kadmon par bandhe payal ki chehal

teri us hasi ki jhalak, mere ishq ki jo mazaar

wo baatein kuch unkahi si, wo tera muskurana

un raaton ki dooriyon ka, ek pal mein ghul jaana

tere sajde mein guzaarna, lamhe wo chaar

wo pehla pehla khumaar, wo naya naya pyaar....

Will you be my valentine?

Background:

The night is theirs... romance fills the midnight air as two young lovers serenade the streets with their love..

Will you be my valentine?

Will you be my love tonight, my angel , will you be my valentine ?

Lets forget the world tonight, let me make your body my shrine,

Will you kiss me deeply tonight, my angel, will you hold my hand and smile?

Lets forget ourselves tonight, baby, will you be my valentine?

Lets paint this town red and the skies blue, lets seek a love so divine,

Dance with me to the rhythm of my heart, hold me tenderly and be just mine,

Will your surrender your senses tonight, baby, let me caress your neck so fine,

Lets embrace the love tonight , my angel, will you be my valentine?

Let me make you wings, soft feathers sewn with my love, my care,

Would you want to fly with me into the stars, make love beside the crescent moon,

Let us rise in love and feel the high, baby, will you place your trust in me tonight?

Lets ride the winds of change tonight, my love, will you be my valentine?

On clouds of my tenderness, I'll make you float, I'll soothe you to sleep,

Lie beside me tonight and feel my warmth flow through to you,

Let this dream never end, my love, for the reality is that I love you,

Let the surreal world suck us in tonight, my angel, just be my valentine...

A Beautiful Mind

Background:

Isn't the complexity of the human mind truly fascinating??

A Beautiful Mind

The deep dark alleys of the mind, long and unwinding to the core,

A few i know so well , some , yet to explore,

Beautiful memories of yesterday, are hidden in a shrine,

Yet there are those that hurt,its a bittersweet galore.

There's a search for some answers, yet a few questions arise,

The need to forget some, oh but the urge to know more,

And a few virgin bylanes, a mystery to the core.

A few dark desires, some shine with light divine,

An unending noise in some, a few ring with a melodic chime,

There's a will to succeed, yet the weakness to give in to crime,

There's a belief in eternity, yet the fear of running out of time.

Secrets dwell deep inside, never shall they come to the fore,

A needless hate for some, yet there are those we adore,

A sense of wonder, a moment of fear,

A subconscious smile, a forced tear,

They're all treasured, emotions of every kind,

Its a treachorous place, yet a beautiful mind

Aaj Aapse Dur Raha Na Jaaye

Background:

Sometimes, you just do not want to be away from your love...

Aaj Aapse Dur Raha Na Jaaye

madham kar do is diye ki roshni ko ,

ujalon mein shab kaati na jaaye,

sitaron ki mehfil andheron mein saji hai,

aaj aapse duur raha na jaaye..

aankhon mein teri firdaus hum dhoondein,

pariyon ki duniya mein ye le jaayein,

chaandni bhi teri husn mein dhali hai,

chupke se mujhse yahi keh rahi hai..

..aaj aapse duur raha na jaaye..

is raah pe chale ja raha huun kab se,

baahon mein thodi panaah mil jaaye,

zindagi mein armaan nikle hain kitne,

bas ek ye sapna sach ho jaaye..

..aaj aapse duur raha na jaaye..

aaj haske mujhse baatein karti raho,

khamoshiyon mein duuriyon ko ghulne do,

raat bhi to suuraj se milne ko dhalti hai...

in zulfon ke saaye mein zindagi guzar jaaye..

..aaj aapse duur raha na jaaye..

..aaj aapse duur raha na jaaye..
