from a lost time zone

It happens you know. You just have this old photo stored in some random folder that is buried deep in your computer and you just come across it by chance and you open it out of curiosity to see what you kept there when the right click had just worked its magic. And then you see it, that photograph you thought you had deleted, from your Hard drive, laptop and otherwise. The fingers slide on the pad and ‘click’ the photo opens and you stare at it. It stares back and so do a million memories from a lost time zone come back and suddenly that hole in your heart you thought you had filled, that chink in your armor that you thought had covered comes back, as if it was always there to make you skip a heart beat. And as you keep staring at the photo, everything else just blurs, except, except for her. She is still there, like the smile of the Cheshire cat. And suddenly that pain you had used once for getting a high comes back with an intensity that no amount of tears can subside. And while a part of you is laughing at you, cursing even, for being such a pussy, there is another part which lauds you for being capable enough to bear that pain, capable enough to love. And even though you clinch your fists, widen you eyes or close them and pull the rug over, the pillow knows the truth. It can’t be fooled even though you might try to fool your eyes into thinking they are moist because of a hair when actually it’s her.

It happens.

Tera khwaabo me yu aana,
mera chain kho jaana
bhookh pyaas ghum jaana
dil ka gaana woh gaana
dekho kitna puraana
sunlo taaro ka taraana
fir laye nazraana
mere pyaar ka khajaana
teri aankho ka nishaana
mera dil hua ghayal
tere pyaar me hai pagal
hua tujhpe wo kayal
baji jabse teri payal
teri aankhe aur kajal
jaise chaand aur badal
zulfo ka andhera
aur chehre ka savera
mera din meri raat
mere geet meri baat
sabme tu hai mere sang
gori rah gaya me dang
tera chandan sa ang
tu shama me patang

jal ke hai bataana
tujhse pyaar hai jataana
hotho ka silna
yu aankho se bataana
apne dil ka fasana
ab door nahi jaana
hua bahut tadpaana
nahi aur ab satana
ke tumko hai paana
jaaneman jaanejaana

Tere Bina

Latest Song. Didn’t feel like singing it. Had a heavy heart.

Tere bina hi yaha din hoga,
Tere bina hi raat hogi.
Aayegi fir teri yaadein,
Jaane kab baat hogi.

Tu yaha thi to thodi si roshnai thi,
Jharokhe se hokar jaise tajalli aayi thi.
Teri muskurahte meri saans ban gayi
Meri bhookh goom hue meri pyaas kho gayi.
Tu yaha thi to zindagi paas aayi thi,
Aur hume usko jeene me aas aayi thi.

Ab tere bina hi hogi subah,
Tere bina hi shaam hogi.
Gili karvato ki mehfil me,
Aahe saaqi aur aahe hi jaam hogi.

Tu nahi hai to aankh meri bhar aayi hai
Aur meri zubaan pe woh baat fir aayi hai.
Tujhe paa lenge ya tujh pe mar jayenge,
Tere pyaar me hum hudd se guzar jayenge
Tu  nahi hai to mehfil me muflisi chhayi hai,
Aur aaj fir teri yaadein yaad aayi hai.

Ab tere bina hi yaha din hoga,
Tere bina hi raat hogi.
