Hum aur Humaari Shab

Roshni ne kahaa alvida toh andhere ne baahon mein le liya
Jalaakar shama ko kaise ho jaaye hum us andhere se juda
Jo tab hai humaare saath jab aur koi bhee nahin hai
Ek shab wo thi jismein hum mehfil ka hissa the
Ek shab ye hai jismein saath humaare hai sirf andhera
Pyaar humein us shab se bhi tha
Pyaar humein is shab se bhi hai...

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...
