Kabhie raat ke sannate mein
Neeravtaa mein
Kahin door bajtaa halka sa sangeet
Door jungle mein kahin
Jaltee hui aag
Aur uske chaaron taraf naachte huey log
Aisa nazaara kahin bhee nazar aata hai
To main
Apne ko bahut tanhaa mehssos kartaa hoon

Lekin
Usee sangeet kee dhun par
mere kadam
Usee lay par khud-ba-khud
taal dene lagte hain
door jaltee hui aag dil ko
thodi see garmaahat ka ehsaas detee hai
aur naachte -gaate logon kee hansee
dil mein raunaq bhar deti hai.......
Mujhe kutchh aisa lagta hai
Ki main akela nahin hoon...

Mere saath mera ateet hai
Pal hain.jo ek dusre mein
samaahit ho kar
kal se aaj ho gayen hain....
Mere dard ke bikhre hue tukde hain
Jo kabhie kabhie chubhan ka
ehsaas dete hain
Kutchh hansee ke mukhar swar hain
Jo honthon par muskuraahat le aate hain...

Kutchh sapney hain
Jinko main jaagte huey dekhtaa hoon
Jinme jeetaa hoon
Aur apneaap ko samay aur dooree kee
had  se baahar laa kar
kutchh lamhon ke liye hee sahee
tumhaare kareeb le aate hain
main jaanta hoon tum
hardam mere paas hee rehtee
ho......

Sometimes
In the quiet of night
Through the silence
I hear music ....afar
Far off somewhere in jungle
The light of fire
People singing and dancing around
Whenever I behold such sight

I feel so lonely.....

But
My feet start tapping
To the same tune
On their own
To the rhythm of the music
The fire gives a sense of warmth
To my heart
And the notes of laughter of people
Singing and dancing around
Fill my heart with celebrations

I feel I am not alone...

I have
my past with me
moments...that merge into each other
and made my yesterdays..my today
some scattered pieces of my pain
sometimes prick my heart
there are some sounds of laughter
which bring smile to my lips

There are few dreams....

That I see wide awake
Live in them
And get myself out of boundaries
Of distance and time
Albeit for a few moments
Get me close to you.....

I know
You are always with me........
