Hum to bataa rahe the raat ko..
Tumhaaree
masoom khoobsurati ke baare mein
ki
chaand humse kutchh khafaa ho gaya
uski
Jalan ka aalam yeh thaa
Ki
Chaandni se jheelein jhulasnein lagee
Sitaare ghane baadalon ki razaai lekar
So gaye
aur shabnam ki boondein
Gulaab ki pankhudiyon par khaulne lagee

Hum  yaad kar rahe the
Aapki pyaar mein mehaktee garm saanson
Kee
Ki
Uske  aage sooraj kee tapish bhee
Thand kaa ehsaas dilaane lagee....
Din bhee apne paaon sikod kar
Baithane ki koshish karne lagaa
Ki pighaltee hui barf
Phir jamne lagee
Aur dhoop mein baithe huey log
Beer chhod brandy kee farmaaish
Karne lage
Aur voh bhee
anghitee ke nazdeek baith kar

Tumharee madhur yaadon ka jhonkaa
Kutchh is teji se aaya
Ki hawaayen tham gayee
Manzar thehar gaye
Aur waqt ke seene par do kadam
Chal kar
Tumhaara haath thaame
Hum dooriyon kee had se baahar
Nikal gaye.....

Aur tum ban kar
Ek ehsaas
Reh gayee ho
Hamesha ke liye....

I was narrating to moon
 your innocent beauty....
 the moon got angry with me
He got so jealous
And so hot was the fire of his jealousy
That
The lakes got scorched
By moonlight
The stars covered themselves
With quilt of clouds
And went off to sleep
And dewdrops started
Boiling on Rose petals.....

I was remembering fragrance
of your warm breath
that
The warmth of Sun
Felt cold in comparison.
The day also started sitting with its legs folded
That
The melting ice started freezing
And people sitting in sun
Started demanding brandy  instead of beer
That too sitting next to fireplace

A whiff of your sweet memories
Came and touched me so fast
That
The breeze became still
The scenes stopped in its tracks
And walking two steps on the
Bosom of time.
Holding your hand
In my hand...
We walked out
Past the boundaries of time...

And you
Make me  feel
That you are  mine
Forever..
