इंतज़ार

जब तुम मेरी ज़िन्दगी में आये , नादाँ नासमझ अनजान थी,
इंतज़ार था सच्चे साथी का, उससे मिलने को बेकरार थी....

हंसती-गाती , खेलती-खिलखिलाती
हर किसी को अपना यार मानती
सपने सरे चूर हो गए
झूटे को सच्चा प्यार प्यार मान ली

तुमने तब भी मेरा साथ दिया जब खुद से अनजान थी,
इंतज़ार था सच्चे साथी का , उससे मिलने को बेक़रार थी....

कांच के टुकड़े को हीरा समझा
दिल का टूटना - तकदीर
खुद को कोसा, किसी से न कहा
ये तो थी मेरे ही हांथों की लकीर

तुमने तब भी सहारा दिया जब खुद से नाराज़ थी,
इंतज़ार था सच्चे साथी का, उससे मिलने को बेक़रार थी....

दिखावे की दुनिया में जीते जीते
तुम्हारी कदर न कर पाई
अंशु तुम्हारे मेरे गम में बहे
क्यों मैं यह समझ न पाई

तुमको खो कर मैंने जाना ,नादान नासमझ मैं कितनी अनजान थी,
जिसका सदियों से था इंतज़ार , मैं तो हमेशा ही उसके साथ थी ....

A hole in my Heart..

I can see it happening again
Dreams falling apart
This time I feel no pain
But there’s a hole in my heart.

I thought you were the one,
The one who’s going to stay
A battle lost, disappointments won
As now you’re trying to run away

I can’t even stop you
Or beg you to wait
There’s nothing I can do
And now it’s too late

You are gone,
There’s an empty space
I pretend nothings wrong
With a smile on my brave face

But a hole in my heart
And a lot of pain
My dream fell apart
It happened again..

A poem I wrote for my sister

Before I came into the world, before I was born

I was told there’ll be angel who will be my mom


But I was puzzled when I arrived

As there were two angels sitting by my side


‘This is your sister’, we were introduced

Why is she an angel? I thought, amused


It didn’t make sense as the years passed by

She made me laugh and I made her cry


We kept our secrets and leaked a few

A confidante in disguise, it was you


An intelligent confident girl who’s not afraid to dream

My sister, my support, you are like oxygen for me


Ups and downs, high and low

You stood by me and took all the blow


Why she is an angel, I can now see

I wish I could do half as much as you’ve done for me


Sisters are not just sisters, they are friends, they say

You, my sister, are precious and on this special day,


I wish you all the happiness and sorrows to disappear

I wish you all the success and no more tears


I wish you have the power, the courage to heal

My sister, my friend, my angel, I got the best deal
