tumhari yaadein

क्यों रूठती नहीं तेरी याद
तुम्हारे मुझसे रूठने पर
क्यों किवाड़ पे खड़ी दस्तक लगाती है
जैसे ठकठकाया हो तुमने मेरा दर

मेरे आसपास ही रहती है वो
मानो तुम दूर गए ही नहीं
करती है मेरी रूह से वो गुफ्तगू
मानो तुम ही कह रहे हो बाती

तुम्हारी यादों का साया
मेरे साथ चलता है हर पल
तुम ने तो रुख कर लिया दूसरा
बन गयीं है ये मेरी हमसफ़र

मुस्काती हूँ तुमको जब भी सोचके
जब भी लेते हैं तुम्हारा नाम मेरे अधर
यादें एहसास दे जाती हैं तुम्हारा
जैसे मुस्कान तुम्हारी मेरे सामने हो हर सहर

When I am what I am

Its just sometimes that I stop
and look around me...
what I am passing through or what I missed

Its just sometimes that I need
That minute of the day
when I count all the moments that I tread

Its just sometimes that I wish
Time was in my hands
rather than just a watch to see that it slipped

Its just sometimes that I see
The reasons that brought a smile to my face
were the ones I usually left unbothered

Its just sometimes that I find
that spark which lit my eyes years ago
Which I thought long back had died

Its just sometimes and only sometimes
I slip back in time or move ahead...
To live the memories or those times that may come
And its these times and only these times
that I am what I am...
