Is it you?

I wait aside, 

looking around to find you,

I find someone, i ask myself if that's you?

I get no answer, but i walk and talk. 

I connect and i accept this someone thinking it's you-

In sometime, i realize the love was not for me.

He walks away, i try to stumble because this has taken many years for me to realize, it wasn't you. 

Again i start to walk and again i see 

Someone with a bouquet of flowers for me. 

He gives me happiness, he gives me love, 

I ask myself, is it you? I get no answer.

It takes more years to realize that the bouquet of flowers were rotten and insects sting me. 

Love was converted into fists and slaps and scratches and fights. 

Can your love be as ugly? Again i get no answer.

Again i start walking and again i see someone. Again i get no answer, yet again i walk thinking it's you. 

The new someone lies to me, his existence is all fake. He is a person who builds a castle of thin air and vanishes without an apology. 

How can it be you, no way. You can be far from fake. 

By now, my body is injured to my soul. 

I still ask myself, are you there? 

With pain in my pit i am dragging myself, i stumble upon someone... This someone looks like you, i feel.

He picks me up. He dusts me and says, "i am here. My roar is mightier than your fears. I am here to love you and comfort you"

My broken soul, now believes in him. Maybe you are the one! 

Time flies when one day he says, "what is left to talk? There is nothing more to know or tell".

Again my trust breaks, this time for good. 

I can't wait any longer for you! I am bruised, broken, tattered, irrepareable.

Don't know if you exist. 

Don't know if i am worthy of you. 

Don't know if you hear me speak. 

I want to just close my eyes and rest in peace! 

Thi subah suhaani si, 

Jab hum pehli baar miley

Train se utre tum, 

Hawa se baal bikhre huye

Aankhon mein beintehaan tajassus liye

Meri or dekhte rahe,

Baar baar kehte kuch, aur nazre tik si jati thi mujhpe -

Meri mulakat ka manzar behadd suhana tha. 

Baatein meri, rail ki si- na khatam hone wali, 

Aur tumhari nazre mujhe nihaarti hui. 

Na rukti, na thamti baarish ki tarah, dekhte jaate the tum. 

Phir ek sher arz hua mere naam, 

Phir ek nazm mere liye! 

Sharmayi main ki ab kahaan chhupaun meri ye surkh aankhein, 

Jinhe tum bas kurede ja rahe the-

Eka ek tum kareeb aaye aur, 

Meri hothon ko choom liya. 

Bilkul tham sa gaya sab kuch, wo waqt, mera dil, meri nazre, meri dhadkan,  meri saansein... Sab kuch! 

.. Bas tumhari khushboo meri saanson mein aa gayi-

Bheeg gaya mera mann, mera jeewan. Bheeg gaye mere khwaab. 

Thi aisi wo Subah suhaani, jis din hum miley the-

Yaad aaoge tum har subah ab se, 

Tumhara chumban, tumhara aalingan, 

Tumhari baatein, tumhara pyar...

Waqt wahi theher sa gaya, station ke us bench par jahan hum baithe the.. 

Aakhri baar haathon mein haath daaley, 

Aankhon mein beintehaan tajassus liye, mohabbat ka izhaar karte, ek aur suhaani si subah ka intezaar karte.
