Na-ummeed tha dil us raat ke baad, Soche baitha tha kahoge tum wahi ek baat, Ki bhool jaana yeh sab kisi khwaab ki tarah, Par tumne jab mere maathe ko  choom kar mujhe jagaaya, Sukoon bhari neend se  itne pyaar se Jo daaman chuddaya, Toh lafz gum thhe, Nazrein jhuki si thi, Tumhe dekhna tha, Par sharm ki paabandi bhi thi, Aur tum jab mere kuch aur kareeb aaye, Tham gayi har saans,  Kahan mujhmein us waqt koi sudh budh thi, Na maine koi vaada maanga, Na tumne di koi tassalli, Tumne bas yun hi raasta badla, aur Maine kismat par hamari kahani chod di, Medhavi 02/05/24

Maine aksar tanhaayi mein  tumhari sadaayein suni hai, Apni saanson mein ghulti  tumhari saansein buni hain, Aadhi neend mein paas apne  tumhara chehra dekha hai, Tumhari khushbu ko apne badan mein  ghar karte dekha hai, Koi sunega toh sochega,  Kya yeh ek hi mulaaqaat thi, Kyunki mere liye toh woh kuch ghante, Sau sadiyon ki baat thi,  Tumse kahungi agar toh deewana samjhoge mujhe, Isliye yeh baatein ab Tak sirf mere saath hain.  Medhavi 01/05/24

Tumse juda ho kar, Jo bhi ghazal maine suni,  Un sa ek antra maine tumhare liye likha,  Jis bhi raaste se main guzri,  Maine tumhara naam apne zehen mein likha, Jis bhi mandir dargah mein maine dua maangi, Toh us har dua mein tumhara achcha hi likha, Jis bhi rang ko maine chuna har din, Tumhari Nazar se maine har baar khud ko dekha,  Tumse nafrat karun, yeh baat bahut baar sochi, Par tumse mohabbat itni thi ki dil ke aage dimaag hazaaron karodon baar haara,  Toh maine zindagi tumhare naam kar di, Aur har saans ko bhi tumhare naam kiya.  Medhavi  30/04/24

'You left me on read' Seconds after texting you the last goodbye, I was holding my phone and waiting for your response, My hands were shaking, my heart was pounding, I saw you were online and then offline without a word, I held my phone for hours, even while working, Because I didn't want to miss even a message that might send and then 'delete for everyone'.  I remember holding my phone while I passed out,  And waking up with every vibration and sound,  Pinning your chat on top and  looking at my phone day & night, Getting drunk and senseless but only feeling my hand, Because it held the phone,  Taking a bath and still looking at our chat, But, no, you didn't care to respond.  You left me on "read" - Part 1 -  * You left me on read *  Another day, same longing,  For that customized notification sound, For those stickers that expressed how you felt. Still the same question in my mind, How are you able to do this ? Is moving on from me so c...

Depression is not a 'phase' !  The same story on loop, Lonely days, lonelier nights,  Sleeping with four cushions, And re-thinking what's right... Looking at old pictures, And smiling alone,  Eating dark chocolate, And looking at my unlocked phone... No calls, no messages, no notifications too,  I couldn't move on, how could you?  In such nights, I hope for an unexpected call,  If not from you, then from a friend... Why is everyone busy, why has everyone changed,  Why does everyone want to meet on occasions and reunions,  Why have I lost my friends in this crowd of millions... This night is long just like every other night,  And I can't sleep or think positive like things are alright,  Because they aren't and nobody can see,  All they see is my smiling face,  It's so easy to hide but sorry I can't let it be,  I have to let it out and I have to face,  I know its hard but it's harder to be fake... I'm living with it wha...
