Waqt ka hisaab kho baithi hun aajkal,  Din raat ek se lagte hain tujhmein kho kar har pal,  Hai faasle apni jagah,  Phir bhi kyun itni nazdeeki hai,  Saat samundar ki doori, Saade teen ghante ka fark,  Aur milne ki taareekh kareeb hi hai,  Tujhe dekh kar jagne sone ki aadat padd gayi,  Aur bematlab hansne ki wajah kaafi hain,  Kat jaayega yeh intezaar ka daur bhi,  Tab tak tum par likhni hain shayari har din,  Guzar jaayenge yeh maheene, mit jaayegi har sarhad, Jab milenge toh kaisa hoga yeh sochte hain tab tak.  Medhavi  02/07/24

Ek pal bhi zindagi ka, kyun bin tere zaaya ho, tu ghul jaaye mujhmein, ki mera wajood bhi tera saaya ho... Tu mujhse ho kar guzre, main tujhmein kuch yun kho jaaun, teri baahon mein mere katre simtein, tujhmein bas ke, bas teri ho jaaun... 

Khayalon se tumko ruksat karne ki tayyaari poori hai,  Bas yeh ishq aisa hai ki khud se be-imaani kar jaata hai. Inkaar ka tere yakeen tha, Isliye rok liya khud ko, Keh dete jo soch mein tha, Toh kaise rok paate tum khud ko Un aankhon mein ghalib ki baatein thi, Padh ke jinhe main kuch aabaad bhi hun aur barbaad bhi, Likhun kya un par ki lafzon ki zara tangi hai, Likhun kya un par ki lafzon ki zara tangi hai, Ki unse nazar hat-ti nahin, unke jaane ke baad bhi !

Aaj soch rahi thi  Ki agar tum poocho kabhi Ki mere liye tum kya ho Toh main kya kahungi  Subha uthte hi mere chehre ki muskaan ho tum,  Meri Alexa pe bajte 'tu hai kahan' ka alarm ho tum,  Aayeene mein dekh kar khud ko nazrein jhuka Dene wali sharam ho tum,  Kamre se nikalte huye Jo gungunaati hun main woh nazm ho tum... Naashte ke waqt mere saath baithne wala khayaal ho tum,  Kya pehnu aaj jo bhaaye tumhe woh sawaal ho tum,  Phone ko khud ke paas rakhne ki wajah ho tum,  Kuch aur waqt tumhare saath ki talab ho tum... Dhalti shaamon ka rang ho tum,  Khushbu woh jo chale mere sang ho tum,  Mere ishq ke itr mein ghulta nasha ho tum, Meri bewajah hans Dene ki wajah ho tum... Tum itne ho mujhmein,  Ki khud ko dhundhti hun main aajkal khud mein,  Tumse mil kar hone lagi hai phir se mohabbat khud se,  Tum tum ho aur yeh sabse khoobsurat baat hai tumhari,  Tum mil gaye issi zindagi mein, yeh kismat hai hamari. - Medhavi...

I caught myself day- dreaming again,  I didn't need the star studded sky,  Or the perfect rainbow after the pouring rain,  All I needed was to just breathe again,  And it was you, only you,  In my mind, in my thoughts... In the colors of the wind,  In the taste of water,  In the echo of silence,  In the fragrance of spring, In the touch of winter,  In the absence of presence... I caught myself day - dreaming about that one day that we never had,  The long walk that we never took,  The long hug that we never could,  The gazes that had to last a few more hours,  The touches that had to brush a few more times,  The silences that had to speak volumes,  The distances that had to shrink time... I caught myself day - dreaming again,  About those three seconds when I had you in my arms,  Those glances that were stolen by your infectious charm,  Those moments when our hands touched,  Those moments tha...

Mujhe bikhra dekh yun, Tu sukoon se kaise hai ? In kaanpte haathon ki garmahat, In ukhadti saanson ki haraarat, Kya tujhe mere liye zara bhi daraati hain ? Tujhse bichadd ke, Main jee na saki, Chalti rahi saansein lekin, Aur umar guzarti rahi. Tu laut ke na aaya, Tera intezaar bahut kiya, Tu laut ke na aaya, Tera intezaar bahut kiya, Yeh sab jaan kar tujhe, Zara bhi sharam aati hai kya ?  Medhavi  13/06/24

He again lied to her about 'her' call He had saved 'her' number with a different name She believed him and chose to fall Blindfolded she was and got fooled again She saw him sharing glances with 'her'  In a crowded corridor she could catch their gaze But he looked at her just the way he did  And she gave up finding the way out from this maze He used to go to meet 'her' in her absence  She was somewhere alone lost in his thoughts  But he never cared and kept testing her patience And kept doing what he should have not They were an example for everyone around  But nobody could see the cracks in perfection  Her heart kept breaking without a sound And she kept on covering the cracks with her tears He said he didn't love her and needed more time  She said 'yes' like every other time He smiled at her and gave her hopes again But she had no idea about the actual decision he took for them Her fears were the same  Her insecurities were alike His lies n...
