kya dikhti hai us duniya se ye duniya?

Kya dikhti hai us duniya se meri roshni se mehroom hayat,
Kya ab bhi mere sone ke baad hee soti ho?
Baarish mein bheegna kya ab bhi achcha lagta hai,
Kya ab bhi sapne dekhti ho?
Kya khule baalon se ab bhi pyaar hai,
Kya ab bhi sirf mere hee liye dua karti ho?
Is duniye se toh humein nahin dikhti hai wo duniya,
kya us duniya se tumhe dikhti hai ye duniya?...

Consonants have always been, are and will always be Divine

The two of us are exactly like consonants..even after being together, one of us will always be silent and I am happy to be silent as long as you are pronounced...

tanha hayat

Ho jaati agar qubool har dua toh koi bhi kaafir nahin hota
Mazaaron par jaakar dua karne waalon ke haath bhi reh jaate hain khaali
Chaahta agar khuda apne bandon ko toh wo akbar hota
Jashn hum bhee har pal manaate agar mil jaatee koee hayat ko roshan karne waali...

Her Love for me was ephemeral

"Don't even look at me again as long as you are alive", she said to me before leaving me forever. Since then, I have stayed away from the mirrors...

If

If words would have been as beautiful as you, I would have stitched them up in order to make you fall in love with every bit of yourself...

It's not that I still love you, it's just that I still prefer your sillage over petrichor...

Being bereft of the things we love is better than being bereaved...
