Maine dhoondha tum us har jagah,  Jahan hum saath jaaya karte thhe,  Maine ki khud se baatein laakhon,  Wahan Jahan hum waqt guzaara karte thhe... Sach kahun toh tumhari khushboo ab bhi hawa ke jhonkon ko mehka jaati hai,  Aur tumhari aawaaz aksar mujhe sargoshiyon si mehsoos hoti hai... Shayad tumhe kabhi pata na chale, Ki tumhari talaash jaari hai meri raahon par na jaane kabse,  Shayad yeh raahein kabhi na takraayein,  Par bas ek aur mulaaqaat ki aas hai mujhe rab se... Kyunki kehna hai tumse ki tumhe bhool chuki hun main,  Bas tumhara diya dard bhulaaya nahin jaata,  Kehne ko maaf kar chuki hun tumhe main, Par tumhara dhokaa mitaaya nahin jaata... Haan, dua nahin karti hun tumhare liye ab main,  Par tumhare liye ab bhi kuch galat suna nahin jaata,  Khwaab toot gaye saare tumko kho kar,  Aur ab koi sapna bhi buna nahin jaata...

Jaanti hun main... Hai kitna kasoorwaar tu Mujhe deewana banaane mein... Hai kitna kasoorwaar tu Mujhe deewana banaane mein... Yeh sochte sochte tujhpar ghazal likh rahi hun main... Teri bekhabari ko junoon bana kar... Teri bekhabari ko junoon bana kar... Aaj Phir khud par hans rahi hun main... Tujhmein hai baat woh kya Yeh ab bhi jaanti nahin hun main..  Tujhmein hai baat woh kya Yeh ab bhi jaanti nahin hun main..  Bas phir tujhko dekh kar tujhse aur mohabbat kar rahi hun main... Ibaadat  Ibaadat ka naam dun agar... Ibaadat  Ibaadat ka naam dun agar... Toh khuda se mukar rahi hun main... Ibaadat  Ibaadat ka naam dun agar... Ibaadat  Ibaadat ka naam dun agar... Toh khuda se mukar rahi hun main... Phir bhi tere naam ka kalma phir se dohraa rahi hun main Zindagi tere bin guzarni hai Yeh bhi jaanti hun main... Zindagi tere bin guzarni hai Yeh bhi jaanti hun main... Phir bhi apne aaj se kal ko tabaah kar rahi hun main.. Medhavi

Ho rahi thhi baatein Kuch iss tarah  Ki hawa mein hasi ki goonj Aur darmiyaan dooriyon ki khushboo thhi Kuch judaa kuch kareeb Yun hi gumshuda sa ek khayaal Jhooth aur sach ke beech jhoolta hua  Kuch khud par hasta  Kuch khud se rooth-ta hua Khayaal se nikalta sawaal yun hi bin baat jhoomta hua Kat gayi raat yun hi khaamoshiyon ki gufatagu mein Yun judd gayi ek raah ibaadat ki justajoo mein Kuch sitaare jo chamke thhe uss raat aasmaan mein  Ho gaye chaand ke kuch aur roobaroo kisi aur jahaan mein Kuch baatein jo huyi shuru thhi baaton ke bunte jaal se Aaj judd gaye phir meri is daastaan aur aaj ke iss khayaal se Phir likh rahi hun afsaana ussi raat ka Jispar likh chuki hun kitna ussi baat ka Woh hai khayaalon mein aaj bhi khud ko dohraata hua Hai anginat faaslon par phir bhi kareeb aata hua....

Kya meri tarah tumhe bhi talaash hai Guzre waqt ke khoye huye purzon ki Jinse shaayad aane wale waqt ki marrammat ho sake Kya meri tarah tumhe bhi khushi ki aas hai Jo guzre waqt ki dhundh mein gumshuda si Mausamon ki hawa mein thodi thodi chhoo jaati hai ab bhi humein Kya guzre afsaane bhula sake tum Ya ab bhi tumko woh baatein zubaani yaad hain meri tarah Kya woh tohfe phek chuke tum Ya ab bhi kamre mein sajaaye rakhe ho tum bhi meri tarah Ab aage badhne bhi do Khwaabon mein aana chorr do Bahut be-maksad si lagti hai zindagi tumhare bina Saath jo mumkin nahin Ab bhi kyun mannatton mein aata hai Kyun ab bhi saaya tumhara Veeraniyon mein bhi dastak si deke jaata hai Bhoolne do agar tum bhi bhool chuke Ya yaad rakhne do agar tumne bhulaaya nahin Na rakhenge bair koi hum  Na poochenge phir kyun bulaaya nahin Reh lenge tanha iss baat ko yaad kar ke Ki ek pal hi sahi din ka tumko hum yaad aate toh hain...

Long days and longer nights, She almost forgot what life beyond home felt like, Curled up on her cosy blanket, She spent half of February like that,  Numb with unending thoughts of 'what ifs', She gave up too soon on herself... But today as she got up and faced her mirror,  And another tear crawled up her cheek,  There was a smile too that reminded her,  That giving up was meant for the weak... She dressed up, wore a new sweatshirt and changed her hand bag to a sling bag,  Wore her favourite make up and perfume, clicked pictures of herself and went out,  She could take a bus for free but she spoiled herself a little by taking a cab,  On the way she reminded herself about all those people who she couldn't live without, Those people who credit her with their happiness and success,  Those people who call her their inspiration and nothing less... And everything changed.  - Medhavi  Feb 18, 2023  . . . . #Bl

Aadhi adhoori si  yeh ek daastaan hai,  Tumhari ho kar bhi na hun haasil, Aur tum meri na ban sakte ho kabhi manzil... Tumhe dekh sakti hun, maang sakti hun, Par tumse koi ummeed nahin rakhi jaati mujhse ab, Tumse mil sakti hun, kabhi choo sakti hun, Par haath thaamne ki himmat bhi toot gayi ab... Mohabbat bhi ajab bewakoofi ki cheez hai,  Insaan khud ko paagal bante dekhta bhi hai, Aur banaata bhi hai, Khud khud par zor zor se hansta bhi hai, Sharmindaa hota bhi hai, Par phir ussi ek nazar ka kaayal, Khud ko banane uske kaabil, Nikal paddta hai phir ussi raah par, Har manmaani sehne ko, Hoti hai bahut baddi museebat yeh galtiyaan, Mohabaat keh dete hain kehne ko...

When did you stop dreaming ?  When did your colors started to fade ?  When did you stop liking what you saw in the mirror ?  When did you stop believing that happiness is self made ?  Was it the day someone couldn't understand how you felt, so they told you that you're losing your mind ?  Or the day when someone chose someone else over you, just because they disappointed you and didn't have the patience to keep trying to win you back ?  Was it the day your parents / friends told you that by this age you should be done with this and you're still stuck ?  Or the day when your friends cut you off because you weren't of any use to them in future ?  Was it the day when someone you love told you that you're jealous of their success ?  Or the day they told you that you control and manipulate them while you were just trying to advise ?  I know, not just one, but many people broke you, over and over and now all you feel is this heaviness and numbness in your body and min

The sun couldn't enter my dark soul today,  I stood there, tanning my skin, drying my hair and soaking myself in the empties of my thoughts... The wind kept blowing,  And my hair became frizzy,  My heart was drenching,  But my eyes weren't teary... I zoned out multiple times, But I stood there, still & quiet,   My body kept reminding me,  Hydrate, rest, move,  But my heart kept yelling,  Vent, cry, share... And as someone entered the room,  I turned back with a wide smile,  And pretended that everything was good,  When asked, I said, I'm all fine,  Zoned out and confused from within,  I found myself motivating someone else,  And suddenly I woke up from my emotional slumber,  To realise that I was in a gathering of friends... I gulped down a few glasses of white wine,  Felt the wind in my hair at the 9th floor of a building high rise,  And looked around to absorb the night,  And told myself, just another day, just another life... - Medhavi  08.02.2023
