Aaj unhe phir saath dekha... Aaj unhe phir saath dekha, Aisa laga jaise Dil ke kaanch par,  Guzre kal ki bhaanp si jam gayi, Aur nazar ke aage, andheron ka kohra, Jaise chatt hi na paaya... Mere rag rag mein sawaalon ki goonj thhi, Aur har khayaal ki saikaron uljhanein thhi, Par chehre par jhoothi muskuraahat bhi laani hi thhi, Apni tanhaayi ko bhi ek mehfil si dikhaani hi thhi... Woh saamne thha mere par, Haath uske haath mein kisi aur ka thha, Kis haq aur zubaan se kehti, Ki woh haath kisi gair ka thha... Main akele baith unke saamne, Bas muskuraati rahi, Baatein kar rahi thhi uski, aur apne dard ki,  Phir bhi bas hansti hansaati rahi... Zubaan ladkhadda rahi thhi, Aur har zarra cheekh raha thha, Phir bhi wahin baith main, Khud ka tamaasha bhi banaati rahi... Jab bhi nazar utha ke dekha, Nazar ussi se jaa mili,  Jab bhi nazar pherna chaaha, Ek ummeed si kyun jaag uthi, Phir raaton ko meri usne apne naam kiya, Aur phir dekh mujhe katl-e-aam kiya, Kyun aage badh thaama na...

Tere diye gajre ki khushboo se uthi main Aaj subha,  Jab shaam ko lauti toh darwaza kholte hi phir mera kamra mehek utha,  Na chahiye mujhe heere motiyon ki saugaat tujhse,  Tu bas apni aawaaz se bajte jhumke de diya kar mujhe,  Na chahiye sone ke kangan ya haar mujhe,  Tu bas apne haathon se chaantte huye gajre de diya kar mujhe.  - Medhavi  - 03/03/24

Maine khwaab mein maanga tha ek saath aisa,  Jiske saath rahun bhi toh Lage khwaab jaisa... Jo sach hota bhi dikhe,  Aur tootne ka darr bhi de,  Jo har lamha haseen dikhe,  Aur mujhse khoob lade... Jo tohfe mein laaye mere liye jhumke,  Aur mere saath khaane chale golgappe,  Bason mein bhi ghoome,  Aur chal padde bas yun hi haath pakde pakde... Woh khwaab tum hi toh ho,  Jo sach hota bhi dikhta hai,  Par dur sitaaron sa chamakta hai,  Jisse choo lun toh kuch pal main hoti hun Roshan,  Par door hote hi lamha lamha pighalta hai... Tum manzil ho par raasta zara kathhin sa lagta hai,  Bas tumhara saath ho toh achcha waqt bhi mumkin sa lagta hai... Toh vaada karo na,  Ki aise hi pyaar nibhaaoge ?  Jab mere baal chaandi se ho jaayenge,  Tab bhi tum mujhe sone sa nihaaroge ? Vaada karo na, ki chaahe sau khwaab aur toot jaayein,  Yeh wala khwaab nahin tootega ?  Aur tum ek din mere khwaab se Haqeeqat ban jaaoge...

This one’s from the heart 🫶🏼 READ CAPTION  For the longest time I believed in the magic of love. I still do but I used to believe differently. I used to believe after watching all these Rom - Com films and reading all those mushy novels that if you love a person, you can change them. It took me years to understand that love changes you when you value it. Love is not always reciprocated. Some people claim to love you because they like being loved by you. It takes a long time to understand that they take more from you and don't give you enough.  Friendships, Relationships and thankfully troubles and hard times, nothing is permanent. Everything is perishable if not taken care of and not protecting yourself in the process. Take care of your relationships but when they don't reciprocate, let them go. Don't force relationships. Nothing is permanent. Thankfully, memories are.  Most times while moving on from any kind of trauma, we often forgive the person. But more importantly...

Aaj is aakhiri raat par,  Un sab raaton ka shukriya,  Jab jab tumne mujhe khud ko pyaar karne diya,  Un sab raaton ka shukriya,  Jo tumhare khwaab le kar soyi,  Un sab raaton ka shukriya,  Jab tumhe dekhte dekhte mujhe neend aa gayi,  Un sab raaton ka shukriya,  Jo tumhe agle din Milne ki ummeed se kati,  Un sab raaton ka shukriya,  Jo Maine tum bin tum sang rehne ko kaati,  Un sab raaton ka shukriya,  Jo tumhari meri zindagi mein hone se jaagi,  Un sab raaton ka shukriya,  Jab tum dur ho kar bhi mere thhe,  Un sab raaton ka shukriya,  Jab vaade sapne iraade sirf tum se thhe.  Medhavi 29/01/24

Mujhe tum phir mat dhoondhna... Us kitaab mein dabe sookhe gulaab ki dhool mein,  Us puraane jacket ki jeb ki ched mein fanse bees ke sikke mein,  Us behetreen gaane ke sabse dard bhare lafz mein,  Apne kamre ki daraaj mein padde us puraane khat mein,  Tumse Milne Wale har ek shaqs mein,  Apni mohabbat paane ki sarhad mein... Shayad phir tum padhoge mere likhe afsaane,  Sunoge mere recorded baatein aur anginat gaane,  Shayad mere ghar ke saamne tumhare kadam ruk jaayenge kabhi kabhi,  Toh kabhi mere naam se kisi ko bulaane ki karoge galti... Par mujhe bhool jaana.  Kyunki yaad rakhne ki baatein saikaron hongi,  Par sach yahi rahega ki hamari manzilein juda hongi... Toh mujhe tum phir mat dhoondhna,  Kyunki shayad Jo hum mein tha, woh kaafi nahin tha,  Aur Jo chahat thi, woh hum mein ek si nahin thi,  Bas yeh soch kar mujhko apne khayalon se jaane dena,  Phir se mohabbat ko apni taqdeer par muskuraane dena...  Med...
