Its when I bent...

She was sober, and I was drunk,
She looked alive, and I was a morbid trunk,
She was ignorant, and I was a gnosiomaniac junk,
She was present, and I was an absent monk,
And then,
Something changed,
I was sober but I dreamt,
I was there but I was absent,
I said something, but that's not what I meant,
Its when I bent, its when I bent.
P.S.(bent=changed).

अलफ़ाज़ ए मुसाफिर

हमने क्या पाया, हमने क्या खोया,
ये तो किस्मत की बात है,
ये डर है क्या, ये मजबूरी है क्या,
इस जीवन के जो हालात हैं,
हम तो निकले थे आसमां की आस लिये,
धरती पर आ गिरे तो हैरत की क्या बात है,
कन्धों पर है आशाओं का भार जो,
लबों पर है काल को इनकार जो,
चंचल चपल यौवन का है आधार जो,
इस धरातल से उट्ठे है हर पल पुकार जो,
उस पर फक्र कर ए मुसाफिर,
तेरा जीवन इसके बिन निराधार है,
आगाज़ को अंजाम देना हर इंसान की फितरत नहीं,
एक उज्ज्वल भविष्य का तू शिल्पकार है.

You

The day you came into my life, you changed my world,
You made every other thing in my life sound absurd,
And from that day in my world,
You are the first, I'm second and nowhere lies the third,
The air smelled sweet and melodiously sang the bird,
You did wake up and shook the nerd,
Who had till now, been sailing undeterred,
And for you, only you and solely you,
I'll feel, I'll share,
I'll miss, I'll care,
I'll apologize when I'm unfair,
I'll be a doer not a Sayer,
You'll always be there in my prayer,
I'll make you go round when you feel square,
I'll stitch every moment that you tear,
And I'll make our world transparent to despair.
