tum se tum tak

duniya bhar kiya talaash
khud ko paya apne paas
kehne sunne ki nahi
yeh samajhne ki hai baat
raasta naapo aao socho
khud ko khoje jaaye kaha?
dil ye namm
khoon garam
rag rag beh-beh jaaye kaha?
beh ke aana hai dariya ko
saagar paana hai dariya ko
suno ye baat
meri saugaat
khatam kar aaja ab sasta
tum se tum tak ka rasta
namm namm hai teri aankhen
gham gham hai saari raatein
hal kare apni mulakatein
hasi maze ki sab baatein
kush hojao toh zyaada
chal baate adha adha
na reh aise chur chur
dard hoga durr zaroor
suno ye baat
meri saugaat
khatam kar aaja ab sasta
tum se tum tak ka rasta

love meanwhile

her eyes are on my heart
in her heart she thinks meanwhile
if I get his love for free
only then is it worthwhile

but her heart beats my name
she conceals this silent scream
and when she opens her eyes
she wakes into a dream

she loves me more than herself
but only doesn't know
her heart must break someday
this is love she doesn't know

as much as she tests me now
she only doesn't know
she'll have to fail someday
this is love she doesn't know

shame

sometimes
I want to redeem
and eat
words
I never meant
but tended to seem
so no one shall
ever smell
or see.
lock them
deep within me
and quell
forever and a day
