In so many ways we remain young,
Mere children at heart before those who have borne us
Nay not just borne but raised us
Those who found us in the ashes
Dusted our tail feathers
Those who dressed our bruises
Those who opened old, festering wounds to dress them and heal them
Those who taught us the sound of our own voice
Those who found in us the spark of a raging fire
Those who brought us out of the reverie of misery
Those who tried us by fire and made jewels from rocks
Those who cut away at our conscience
Chipped little piece by piece of grime off
Those who taught sincerity by practice
Those who taught how many kinds of love there are
Those who fathered the fatherless, mothered the motherless
Those who breathed mercy into cold, hardened hearts.
Humility is the only gift worthy enough to be given to them
A life of being that person they made you the only ode worthy to be given to them
Times come and times go
But in so many ways we remain young
Our heads bowed
Not before those who have borne us
But before those by whom we were raised

To soar and fly
To dream and die
To live like no other
To dance like a star
I'm a bird of prey
Kill me, with a bullet to my heart
And not a bullet through my wings
To just make me fall to the ground

When your eyes are closed
And you dream a dream
You're just seeing how
You want life to be
It's a shadow of your tomorrow
It's a lightning look at your sorrow
Only if we could achieve our dreams
Only if we had the power to...
The power to set our thoughts free
The power to go beyond our dreams
The power to think clearly
The power to love dearly
If we only had a teardrop
That we could hold onto without a splash
Then we'd maybe see what life could be
If only our thoughts could be free
But we all are little tear drops
Defined by the places where we land up
So hard to find it in ourselves
To find a different form to beget
No you're right it is just me
Too many thoughts running carelessly
I hate definitions and equations
I love free-flowing prose and different solutions
Deep inside of me I'm a little girl
Purple, pink are my theme colours
Don't tell me yet about boundaries
I'm still a virgin thought, don't touch me..

Ek des hai aisa jiski yaad bohot aati hai..
Ek des hai aisa jiski yaad bohot aati hai..
Zyada nahi hai wahaan..
Chand tuti chudiyaan aur thake hue chehre
Rang hai magar tuti chudiyon mein bhi
Muskaan halki, haare chehron par bhi
Sangharsh hai roz jivan se ek
Kahani hai ek, har khel ke peeche
Chal rahi hai jaisi saari duniya ki saasein ek disha mein
Aisi jagah hai kahin is saari duniya mein bhi
Ek des hai aisa is duniya mein bhi..
Ek des hai aisa jiski yaad bohot aati hai
Wahan harjeev ek vyakti hai
Aur har vyakti ki pehchaan
Use Kehna nahi padta cheekhkar yeh
Uska har bhaav hai uski pehchaan
Dekhte hain auron ko bhi chalte chalte
Manushya ke samudra mein bhi
Chehre yaad rehte hain unhe
Yeh log hain aise, inke dilon mein hai aanch
Gar chupna ho duniya se bhi
Toh aisi jagah hai inke paas
Apne gharon mein, apne dilon mein
Panaah de jo tumhe
Aisa des hai kahin khaas
Ek des hai aisa
Jiski yaad bohot.. bohot aati hai..
Mera ang hai woh
Mera rang hai woh
Uska hissa hoon main
Uska vartamaan bhi main
Uski dhadkan bhi main
Uska vikaas bhi main
Uska pran bhi main
Uska balidaan bhi main
Hai aisa ek des kahin is saari duniya mein
Ek des hai aisa jiski yaad bohot aati
Mere apno ko samaye baitha hai jo apne aap mein
Ek des hai aisa kahin, jiska chand bhi main aur daag bhi
Ek hai jagah kaahin aisi, jahan malmal aur mitti ki chahat hai ek jaisi
Mera antarman rehta abhi bhi us des mein hai
Ek hai des aisa jiski yaad bohot aati hai..

Ibaadat nawazti hai bande ko mohabbat ke noor se
Jhaank khud mein tera pyar nahi door hai tujhse
Jee kar bhi marte hain ek duje ke liye
Bas wahin chahat pak maan
Jo jalti hai saaye mein bhi hoor ki tarah
Ishq, jurm, haqeeqat, zindagi
Chalte hain ek duje ke daayre mein
Qatl na kar apne khwabon ka aaj tu
Jee lene de ek din aur us mein kisiko
Tera naam, tera wajood, teri pehchaan jo kehlata hai
Aankhon se teri duniya woh mehsus karta hai
Jo dekhe tu khubsurat wadiyan jalti dhoop mein bhi
Rahat use milegi us pal ki kahin door tak bhi
Khuda ke bande na maan har tu zindagi ki kisi bandish se
Sar-e-aam utha le har sitam kandhon par
Ke shayad kahin woh khush reh paaye aur ek pal kahin
Seemayein langh tu, vishal kadam chal
Jeevan ki agneepath pe, nidar ho kar chal

Ae kaash ke dil se nikalti dard ki awaz
Aur keh paati tumse ke aanch hai kitni uski aag mein
Jal jal ke dono aah tak na de paaye
Kaisi chah ne karvat li humari
Teri parchayi mein dhoondti hoon apne aap ko
Tujhse juda phir bhi chalti hoon main
Hai ya nahi zindagi abhi bhi meri
Keh na paaun yakeen se main mann ko
Yeh mann tujhe kyun chahe
Iska koi jawaab nahi mere paas
Tera saath chhodkar bhi tera rahe
Iski koi wajah nahi hai khaas
Par taqdeer teri rahegi mere dil ki
Aur bandish yeh judi rahegi gham ki
Dur se saaye nazar aate hain khaak ke
Kismat yeh meri hai tere zindagi ki nahi
Tujhse hone na dungi gile koi
Na aane dungi kisi aanch ki garmi tujhpar
Allah ke rehm-o-karam rehte hain bande par
Hifaazat teri rahe mera dharam
Gar na jaana tune na samjha tune
Tab bhi koi shikva na hoga
Har nazm mein yaad tujhko karenge
Har geet ki ghazal tujhse banayenge
Ittefaaq na tha yeh mera tujhse milna
Milkar yeh jaana ke khuda bhi tu, parvar digaar bhi tu hai mera
Iqbal-e-jurm ho gayi mohabbat jaise
Takhir hoti jo nikal jaate teri raah se
Insaan hai hum
Galatiyaan karke seekhte hain
Gir gir kar sambhale hain zindagi mein
Tere jivan ko kya savarenge
Lau bujhne na denge
Dil mein apne
Magar jalne na denge
Tujhe iski aag mein
Pyaar yeh kaisa hai humara
Pyar yeh kaisa hai humara
Teri khushi meri khushi
Par mere gham kyun tere gham?

From the moment I first met you
In the second I first heard you speak
The first time you said my name
The first time I looked in your eyes
The first time you came back for me
The first time we didn't need to speak
The first time you turned around and looked at me
The first night we didn't sleep
The first phone call I hated missing
The first dream I dreamt of you
The first pang of jealousy
The first inkling of loneliness
The first rain that wet us both
The first time we rowed that boat
The first escape before dawn
The first lie we told at home
The first fight we ever had
The first sorry we ever said
The first wild goose chase I sent you on
The first time you came despite all odds
The first time I broke free for you
The first time I walked out of my door for you
The first time I wore make-up for a man
The first time I swore never again
The first time you smiled after a fight
The first time we kissed on a pretty, warm night
The first time we parted ways
The first time we swore we'd never see each other's face
The first time I thought back to that moment
The first moment when I met you
The first time I made the first move
The first time you took me seriously too
The first time you stepped back from me
The first time I took my first steps towards you
The first time you finally opened your heart
The first time you ever told me I was the reason for it all
The first time we held hands since
The first long walk we took alone
The first meeting of our mind and souls
The first exchange of our heart's warm glow
The first long night we spent alone
The first moment when we were sure
The first time you asked me to marry you
The first time I looked up and knew you were true
They all go back to that first moment years ago
The moment I first knew it was you, not so long ago
A different love we've found ourselves
A different reason to go on, to walk till the end....
