सिर्फ एक पल

एक पल चाहिए

सिर्फ एक पल

ना चाहिए तुम्हारा आज

ना मांगू मै तुम्हारा कल

सिर्फ एक पल

कुछ बातें

जो दिल मे है

शायद जूबा पे होंगी

कुछ हसरतें है नैनो की

जो उस पल मे पूरी होंगी

ना चाहू तुम्हारा आज

ना मांगू मै तुम्हारा कल

सिर्फ एक पल

कहाँ मै गलत हुआ

कहा तुम्हारी आँखें हुई नाम

लगी थी हम को बद्दुआ

ये क्यू नही समझ पाए हम

ना चाहू तुम्हारा आज

ना मांगू मै तुम्हारा कल

सिर्फ एक पल

करना है कुछ खास

शायद जिस्से तुम्हे फिर पा पाऊ

जिस्से हो तुम्हे एहसास

के मै बैठा हू लगाए आस

एक पल की आस

सिर्फ एक पल की है ज़रूरत

शायद माँग रहा हू मै कुछ ज़्यादा

शायद चुक्का ना पाउगा मै इस पल की क़ीमत

लेकिन करता हू मै वादा

की मेरा नेक है इरादा

की मेरे लिए अब भी हो तुम

दुनिया से काई गुना ज़्यादा

एक पल चाहिए सिर्फ एक पल

ना आज ना कल

सिर्फ एक पल…

What Is Love?

As soon as she left the café, she walked to the Cigarette shop and asked for a cigarette and when she was just about to lit her cigarette up a man standing nearby said ”It kills!”.

She threw it and went her way…

The man noticed a guy walking up to the shop.

There was something in this young handsome looking man that was shouting “Kill Me” and maybe that’s why he wasn’t warned by the man standing nearby.
Out of curiosity, the man asked him “Any Problem bro?”

Sad Guy: Had a break-up!

Young Man: So?? I mean you can have any other girl.

Sad Guy: I loved her!!

Young Man: Come on there’s nothing like Love, gone are those days when people used to die for love.
*deep in thought”

Sad Guy: Maybe and Maybe not. Love is not the way it is shown in movies with larger than life characters. Love to me is something different.

Young Man: then, May I have the pleasure of knowing What Love is?

*though he was in no mood to explain, he did!*

Sad Guy:

“Love is trying to be with her for 5 minutes

And when it ends, 5 more again

Love is freeing her from everything

And beholding her tight in your arms

Feeling her heartbeats when to all body parts love swarms

Love is being a toddler

Toddling with her support

Love is being a kid and asking kisses from her

Love is being teen enough to tease her

Being man enough to please her

And old enough to ask her hands for every walk

Love is every moment lived in her arms

Every subconscious relived in dreams

Every emotion felt in her arms

Every touch on her body as smooth as cream

Love is showering yourself

On the barren untouched ‘her’

Being her blanket during the cold nights of Winter

Providing her the cool shadow during the hot days of Summer

Being her Umbrella in Rain

Being her Medicine during pain

And at times being mad enough to make her laugh like an Insane

Love is Everything

Love is being the reason

reason of the tinkle in her eyes

Love is the Chocolates gifted

Love is finding beauty in her flaws

Love is not tying the Knot

and still treating her family as in-laws

Love is Being everything she wants you to be

Love is retaining everything you own

Love is simply Love

Loving And Being Loved.

…”

with the last words he threw the filter and crushed it.

And the girl who earlier threw the white stick was there and as soon the guy who was not so sad turned, she hugged him.

Not So Sad Guy: What are you doing here?

Girl: I don’t know, I just wanted to give smoking a second opinion. And now I know Love and have the One I Love!

Goose Bumps!

When it rains

in chilling winters,

I love to walk

on empty streets

with nothing on me

but memories in me

The scent that comes

with rain, the winter rain

The rain, once when

drenching, shivering

in it we stood

and the scent penetrated

in me, in my heart just to

rise back and make me sad

at times when it rains

rains in chilling winters.

And to run away I stroll

on empty streets

trying to recall things and times

which made me happy

but now there are memories melancholy

to which goose bumps accompany...

to which goose bumps accompany

in the winter rain

with nothing on me

but memories in me…
