Na jaane kahan daba sa thha, yeh zalzala, Hum mein kahan thhi himmat-e-waffa, Bas tere tasavvur mein duba kar palkein do pal, Meri nazar se sharm-o-haya ne vidaa le li... Saare khauff kahin ashqon mein, ghul se gaye, Saare haqeeqaton ke kaafile, dhul se gaye, Ki thaama khud ka haath tera maan kar, Kahe huye lafzon ko tere, Phir se kaanon mein pehne hadh se aage badh gaye... Ab aar ho ya paar ho, jo bhi anjaam ho, Ya chaahe waffa kar bhi hum badnaam hon, Todd di humne janzeerein, beddiyaan hijr ki, Ab tum saath dedoge, toh mar hi jaayenge... Medhavi 03.11.15

I know what you are saying is right. Good for you and me... but I know what is the best for us.. I know that the best maybe can never happen.. but I just know that I can spend my life with this bitter reality.. alone.. but not with anyone else. I don't know how I'd be able to do that.. how I'll get the strength to take that stand... but I know that wen I'll just close my eyes and think of you.. have all the strength.. I just know that you are worth the effort.. I just know that you are worth every sacrifice... Though its just a few months.. just a matter of a bunch of weeks.. but I won't say that we hardly know each other...because I have never known somebody so close.. i never shared this emotional intimacy with anyone.. I feel i know each bit of you.. each expression of you.. each mood of yours. You are not just an entity but an entire universe for me. I know, I'm saying big things.. and talking about things that just happen in story books and imagi...

At times I think and think too deep, has god sent you to my life for a reason, or you were just a naughty soul which rolled towards mine due to gravity? At times I think and think too vague, we are so different, like poles apart, have we met to accomplish something together, like life on another planet or to learn the language of dolphins? At times I think and think too weird, you and I just met and clicked like a picture, but the negatives developed into something called love, but the pictures are still not in our hands...  we met, we laughed, we loved too much, are we destined? Are we one single soul? Are we meant to be? Things happened.. which were beautiful, things happened.. which were lame... love happened without a trace of knowledge n now we cant go back again...

आज ना जाने क्यूँ फिर तेरी याद आ गयी, बे-वक़्त, बिन-बात के, बस यूँ ही, कमरे की धुंधली रोशनी में, बिस्तर पर लेटते हुए, कुछ भूली हुई रातें याद आ गयी. कुछ सोच कर हसी आ गयी, कुछ सोच कर रोना आ गया, याद आई वो रात जब फोन पर पहली बार इकरार हुआ था, वो रात जब मैं खुशी से पहली बार रोई थी और नम आँखों संग सो गयी थी. वो रात जब हमारी पहली लड़ाई हुई थी और रात तुम्हे मनाने में गुज़र गयी थी.  वो रात जब हम किसी बात पर इतना हँसे थे की रो पड़े थे, वो रात जब तुमने पहली बार अपनी तस्वीर मुझे भेजी थी, वो रात जब तुमने कहा तहा की मेरे बिना तुम कुछ भी नहीं और मैने साथ निभाने का वादा किया था. फिर वो रात याद आई जब यूँ ही फोन पर तुमने बिना कुछ समझाए मुझे छोड़ दिया था. वो रात जब सवालों की गूँज मुझे पागल कर देती थी. वो रात जब खुद को शांत करने के लिए खुद को सज़ा देने की आदत लग गयी थी. वो रात जब फिर नम आँखों संग सोई थी. वो रात जब खुद के हाथ पकड़कर भ्रम के ख्वाब संग सोना सीखा था. वो रात जब खुद के सामने जी भर कर रोना सीखा था.  आज भी उन रातों की थोड़ी हवा है मेरे कमरे में. कुछ उस वक़्त की खुश्बू, कुछ उस खुशी का न...

Waqt woh kitna haseen thha, Jab waffa ka yakeen thha, Un aankhon mein sirf mera suroor thha, Tumko paa kar har zarra maghroor thha, Na jaane woh hawa ka jhonkaa kab aaya, Kahin kho gaya woh zariya ibaadat ka, Benaam ho gayi saari kasmein, Beghar ho gaye saikaron lamhe, Shamaa jalti rahi, waqt pighalta raha, Ummeedon ka daayara, ghat-ta gaya, Ab bas kuch aadhi adhuri beeti baatein hain, Jo rooh ke darmiyaan kahin mehfooz hain, Aur aaj bhi har sheh par tera shukriya karne, Aur mohabbat tujhse karne mein, har zarra masroof hai...

Sharaab se ab nasha nahin hota mujhko Tu tasavvur mein kuch is kadar rehta hai Ki kadam saath nahin dete kabhi kabhi Par tera khayaal har saans se yeh kehta hai Bhula do mujhe agar bhula sako Mitta do woh lamhe agar mitta sako Par hum rahenge yahin ghar basaa kar Khayaal khayaal par kabzaa kar Tadpaayenge bhi, sataayenge bhi Aur phir muskuraake naam tumhara pukaarenge Ki kya karein shikaayat unki khuda se Unki barbaad karne ki bhi adaa itni kaatilaana hai...

Barbaad ho gaye unki mohabbat mein hum haste haste, unke bina mann lagna hi bhool gaya shaayad, jab haath mein unka haath nahin, raahon mein unka saath nahin, toh zindagi bhi kahan zindagi rahi, bandagi mein waffa kahan bandh saki, unko gale na laga sake toh sharaab gale se utaar li, barbaadiyon se dil ki zameen sawaar li, aur phir unke naam ek shaam haar di...
