Dooriyan.

zindagi mein gum ka daaman nahi
toh khushiyan kahaan khilengi
lehron mein badne ka saahas nahi
toh dooriyan kahaan mitengi
chaar kadam chal toh zaraa
manzil paas aati dikhegi
jab thaan lia na ruke gaa tu
tabh khushiyan bhee saath chalengi
lekin zindagi mein gam ka daaman nahi
toh khushiyan kahaan khilengi
lehro mein badne ka saahas nahi
toh dooriyan kahaan mitengi

Life as i know it.

little bubbles, little desires
big dreams, funny liars
the mind promises
but the heart breaks
the eyes reveal
but the words fake
remember all visions ?
the smile they brought
for which you worked
sacrificed and fought
are coming closer
mile by mile
nearer and clearer
widening the smile
yet the path
the tricky one
shaking stones
taking turns
trips you down and
makes you learn
at the end
when you think its done
love comes walkin
then you look at the sun
suddenly you smile
and feel the breeze
its all around you
and you are at ease
the visions blurr
the hands curl
smiles travel
kisses unfurl
the dreams lay still
where they were
waiting silently
in the far nowhere
then comes destiny
putting you down
on the chess board
where you stand like pawn
it seems the queen
has got another king
and finally you are ready
like a bird with the wings
that flies so high
through the clouds
in the sky.
