It is one of the days when you think they will be one of them but they end up becoming the only ones. When you have hoped nil and affection rains until your soul gets drenched completely. You try to pick and join pieces to figure out the hap-hazard thoughts coming to your mind and suddenly someone just decodes them for you and tells you .. see this is what you wanted and I knew that. There are things that happen which are inexplicable yet very deep, which have a lot to convey, but are silent, and maybe thats the best part about them. There are times when you forget all what runs through your mind.. and lows down your spirit, but its someone who just tells u in the simplest way possible, to let go! These people are so extraordinarily beautiful and enriching that its hard to understand what they really are. Are we adoring them or falling for them? Coz in their simplest ways.. with just a touch, they create such a difference to you. Their mere presence just turns your...

He said he loved her, She said I can't love anymore, He said he could mend her heart, She said she had lost the courage... He sent her flowers, He sent her a portion of his first salary, She smiled but never let that sink in... He came to meet her, He made her feel special, She smiled but could never reciprocate... He wrote her letters, He bought her a dress, She read them n wore it but never could feel... He said he'd be there, He said he'll hold her, She heard it all but could'nt ever believe... He fought with his friends, He detached himself from the world, While she got busy discovering herself... He protected her always, He kept her under covers, While she built a castle for herself... He made her strong, He made her feel alive, She accepted the changes, but just for herself... He thought he made her his own, He thought she fell in love, She did.. but with herself... The capability to love did'nt exist i...

I love you because I do. I love you because the Universe showed me the way to you. I love you because my heart beats your name, my mind drowns in your eyes, my soul feels yours even when we are miles apart. I love you because I have no choice; I didn’t ask to love you. I didn’t need to love you, but I love you just the same. My arms aren’t filled unless you’re in them and my thirst is not quenched unless you are the drink. I love you because I feel comfort in being out of my comfort zone with you by my side. I love you because every cell of my body responds to your touch, to your look, to the way you move and the way you sound. I love you because something, somewhere, directed me to you. It was my soul and you are its mate. Through the paths we have taken to one another, I have loved you. I’ve played in comfortable places among comfortable people until I had no choice but to leave there to come to you here. I battled the gods themselves and faced...

Ek lamhe mein samet gaya jaise woh ek poori zindagi, woh pyaar barsaata gaya, humne maanga bhi nahin, Chhua usne toh jaise boondein shabhnam ki jal uthhi, Mehsoos usay kar kareeb apne, har zarre ki kaayanaat pighal gayi... Uski khushboo jaise saanson ko kaid kar rahi thhi, Usmein gum bhi thhi kuch aur khud mein aib dhundh rahi thhi... Usko paane ka khwaab dekha bhi nahin, Usko jataane ki himmat bhi kar na sake, Bas pyaar hum luttaate rahe, Aur uske katre samet-te rahe... Yeh raah mere liye nayi si thhi, Gustaakh thoda sa dil aur adhoori manzil bhi thhi, Par ussay dekh na jaane kyun sab bhool jaati hun, Na jaane kis oar yeh galliyaan le jaa rahi hain... Main bas usko soch chalti hi jaati hun, Na jaane kis modd par dil tootne ki baari hai, Yahan haar ka yakeen hai, Aur manzil kahin nahin hai, Phir bhi haarna kyun uss par mujhe jeet sa lagne laga hai, Na jaane kya kiya usne, ki yeh dil phir mohabbat karne laga hai...

परछाईयों की परछाईयों से बातें हम कर रहे थे, अंगड़ाइयों को बाहों के पैमानों में, क़ैद हम कर रहे थे, रैना गुज़र गयी यूँ ही आँखों में खो कर, ना जाने कब तेरे हुए हम इतने पराए हो कर. 02.05.15 वो खुली नज़र का ख्वाब है, या किसी गाज़ल सा ख़याल है, नाम में उसके है कायानात सी क्यूँ, अब देखे नज़र उसमें ही सब कुछ क्यूँ. 07.05.15 उसने कहा ठहरो वहीं, ना करना गुस्ताख़ी कुछ मोहब्बत सी, और हम बिखरे ज़र्रों से कायानात लिख आए. 09.05.15 रंग गये मेरे समंदर वो दो पल, बूँद-बूँद बरसे अनगिनत कुछ यूँ मुझ पर, कुछ गर्म साँसें, और नर्म आहटें, दस्तक देती रही जैसे, पूरी रैना मेरी दहलीज़ पर. 18.05.15

A million words A million takes What broke then Still looks for a make A million emotions A million moments What flew within us Is all at stake The sounds of glory The screams of loneliness All got mixed with a pinch of happiness The tears that you wept The hugs that you gave All got used to live without your shape Love stayed but respect walked out Strings were bound But trust just wept out You were there But I couldnt see you You changed paths And I could'nt follow you Still beneath the same sky You breathe in the same air I breathe to Still we cross the same paths But we are not 'us', but me and you Medhavi 25.04.15

लकीरें जो मिट गयी थी उस बूढ़े पेड़ से,  उनको ढुँधलाई सी यादों ने आज फिर छू लिया,  जिस गली से गुज़रने से कतराते रहे बरसों,  क्यूँ आज दिल ने वही रास्ता चुन लिया... वो नुक्कड़ पर चाय की खुश्बू,  और सड़क पर सूखे पत्ते वैसे ही थे,  वो खाली बगीचा और उसमें लिपटे वक़्त के टुकड़े वैसे ही थे... थम गये कदम भी और गुज़रे सैकड़ों लम्हे निगाहों के आगे,  थम गया दरिया काफिलों का,  उन अनगिनत फासलों का, दिल की पनाहों के आगे, आवाज़ सुनी थी शायद तुम्हारी,  या कदमों की आहट ही थी वो,  या थे तुम भी वहीं पर, छू के देखते मुझको भी... वहम थे बहुत से, बहुत सी हक़ीक़तें थी, ख्वाब थे टूटे हुए और मिट्टी हुई सरहदें थी... मैं चल रही थी लेकिन लम्हा ठहेर गया था, तस्वीर तेरी ले कर हर झोंका बह रहा था,  वो टूटी हुई दीवार आज भी वहीं है, जहाँ बैठ हमने घंटों खामोशियाँ महसूस की थी,  जहाँ की हर कड़ी एहसासों के घुँगरू-ओं में महफूज़ सी थी, पर आज उस दीवार पर कोई ना बैठा था,  और हर कोना उस सड़क का जैसे अधूरा सा था... मैं निकल आई उस गली से, फि...
