I am never gonna feel the same

I am never gonna feel the same
I did when you were with me
I am never gonna love anyone the same
Why can’t you see?

Baby you took the breath away from me
Left me to live in this pain
I see you in my sleepless nights
Holding an umbrella for me in the rain

I am never gonna feel the same
I did when you stood by me

You cuffed me in chains of memories
Left me to live in this jail
I wanna be there with you
Be its heaven or hell

I am never gonna laugh the same
All funny moments are gone with you

You rendered me so helpless
Left me to live in this distress
Take me wherever you go
Don’t leave me feel this low

I am never gonna rock the dance floor again
Why did you leave me to live in this pain?
Baby you left in my heart a hole
Left here a body with no soul

I am never gonna feel the same
I did when you were with me
All the pain I’ve been going through
Why does it not happen with you too?

Jab se tumhe dekha

Jab se tumhe dekha,
Meri dhadkan badh gai hai,
Yeh saansein bhi ab mujhse,
Kuch kuch yeh keh rahi hai,
Tu hi hai,
Jeene ki meri tamanna,

Tu jo paas se guzri,
Meri neendein ud gai hain,
Khwabon ke mahal mein,
Raatein yun kat rahi hain,

Yeh dil dhak dhak karta hai,
Bas chahta tujhe hai paana,
Tumse yun milne,
Dhoondhta hai koi bahana,

Tere chehre ki muskurahat,
Mujhe chhu kar yun nikal gai,
Bhul gaya main rona,
Bas hansi hi sath reh gai,

Kuch aisa asar kiya tumne,
Main sote sote jaagta hun,
Sapnon ke jahan mein,
Khyalon ke pul bandhta hun,

Jab se tumhe dekha,
Meri dhadkan badh gai hai,
Yeh saansein bhi ab mujhse,
Kuch kuch yeh keh rahi hai,
Tu hi hai,
Jeene ki meri tamanna.

There is something

There is something that
Eyes are void of sleep,
They cry somewhere down deep,

There is something that
Heart is lost somewhere,
Going through the things, it wants to share,

There is something that
Mind is unstable, restless,
It looks for the source to chase,

There is something that
Soul is alone,
It finds familiar faces unknown,

There is something that
Lips have forgotten to smile,
They are searching a reason for a while,

There is something that
Taste buds no longer differentiate bitter from sweet,
They have lost enthu in exquisite treat,

There is something that
Life has jingle of emptiness,
Living it has become a distress,

There is something that
A writer feels like writing,
Make a boring life exciting.

First date

Trembling fear in my mind,
All the courage I try to bind,
I aim to do everything in perfection,
After all, it’s all about the first impression,

Dreamy eyes and heart pure,
Never had such feelings before,
Wanna feel your electrifying charm, I can’t wait,
First date, it’s my first date,

Someone please brew me Felix Felicis,
In matters of love and heart, will it suffice?
Meeting you, Is it my fate?
First date, it’s my first date,

A hundred evenings of hope, I carry in my eyes,
An array of things, I’ve planned for you to surprise,
Girl! Please don’t be late,
First date, it’s my first date,

WhatsApp chats and Skype calls,
My heart to meet you inside howls,
The wait has finally come to an end,
I will finally taste the love’s wind,

My eyes are quenched to see you,
Vocal cords so desperate to talk to you,
Brain cells are ready to discover your inner beau,
My heart is pounding skipping heartbeats few,

I style my hair and wear the best cologne,
I look myself in mirror again and again,
To make sure everything has been rightly set,
First date, it’s my very first date,

On my way, the weather gets changed,
A sudden burst of rain leaving me drenched,
No cab, no bus, I am getting late,
First date, I don’t wanna ruin my very first date,

Somehow I manage to reach on time,
I see you waiting passionately for me,
My feelings for you seem to arouse inside,
The feelings, I am unable to hide,

Irresistible feelings of the naughty heart,
Let me speak it out, they are tearing me inside apart,
I never met someone so angelic and divine,
The moment when the whole world just seems to be mine,

Your cheeks glow softly in the candle light,
The curve of your lips that can easily hypnotise,
The beautiful eyes lovely to gaze,
You seem to be everything for me, I had been dreaming since days,

That nervousness in my voice, outta control,
I wish I could talk through my soul,
So many love stories, I’ve heard and seen,
Were those love or lust, I now know the difference in between,

We just kept looking at each other,
Words were few, and it was over,
But the experience we did share,
It’ll always be there,
A priceless evening without much talking,
I got someone who makes me wanna sing,
Years of crave for love is now quenched,
All thanks to you to make me feel love-drenched,

I have compiled the feelings as promised,
Please make sure nothing gets missed,
Had enough things this evening to anticipate,
First date, it was my very first date,

The most beautiful evening of my life, I must say,
I will cherish this memory night and day,
I hope to have a second date with you soon,
How about somewhere, just us under the moon?

Felix Felicis, also called Liquid Luck, is a magical potion that makes the drinker lucky for a period of time, during which everything they attempt will be successful.

Aadat

Ab tu hi tu inn saanson mein hai,
Teri jikar har baaton mein hai,
Tu kyun nahi hai mere rubaru,
Tujhe haasil karne ki hai bas aarzoo,

Yun kaatil nigahon se ghayal karke,
Kahan ud chali mujhe deewana karke,
Mujhe ab so jaane de,
Teri yaadon mein kho jaane de,

Ab tu hi tu inn saanson mein hai,
Har gham ki dawa tu hi hai,
Mera rasta bhi tu, meri manzil bhi tu,
Meri har sawal ka jawab bas tu hi tu,

Ab mujhe teri yaadon mein jee lene de,
Iss gham ke aansoo ko pi lene de,
Kuchh aisa mujhpe asar karke,
Kahan gai mera chain leke,

Kaise kahun mujhe teri aadat hai,
Tu hi bas meri chaahat hai,
Mujhe ab so jaane de,
Teri yaadon mein kho jaane de,

Meri har ghazal mein tu hi hai,
Teri jikar har lafz mein hai,
Kuchh aisa mujhpe asar karke,
Kahan ud chali mujhe deewana karke.

Main woh shayar

Khoya rahun tere ishq mein iss qadar,
Tanha dil bhatakta rahe dar badar,
Teri yaadein yun saza ho gai,
Zindagi tere bin fanaa ho gai,

Mera ruh har pal chahe sath tumhara,
Tere bina ek pal bhi jeena nahi gawara,
Har ashk mein hai yaadein teri,
Dua hai, tu har janam mein ho jaye meri,

Main tere yaad mein khoya rahun,
Main tere yaad mein khoya rahun,
Main woh shayar jiska,
Tere bin na koi shayrana,
Main woh shayar jiska,
Tere bin na koi shayrana,

Bechain si hain raatein meri,
Kaise kate yeh zindagi saari,
Har pal tu hoti mere sath,
Ek baar bas thaam le tu mera hath,

Tere bina feeka lage sab,
Har sans mein tu hi tu ab,
Tu dur hai toh maine jaana piya,
Tujh bin kaise yeh dhadke jiya,

Main tere yaad mein khoya rahun,
Main tere yaad mein khoya rahun,
Main woh shayar jiska,
Tere bin na koi shayrana,
Main woh shayar jiska,
Tere bin na koi shayrana.

The blue shade

A walk to remember, a walk on the sea-bed,
Rumbling and echoing voices in the blue shade,
A feeling of peace, a feeling of freedom,
Only me, my heartbeat and ocean’s calming rhythm.

We can’t cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water. Sometimes, we just have to cross it by walking on the sea-bed

Kya yahi hota hai pyaar

Yeh kaisa chhaya hai saman,
Yeh dil jaane khoya hai kahan,
Yeh badal garazne lage,
Bin mausam barasne lage,

Aisa kyun hota hai mere yaar,
Kya yahi hota hai pyaar,
Aisa kyun hota hai mere yaar,
Kya yahi hota hai pyaar,

Teri jikar mein dil dhadakne laga,
Teri fikar mein yeh machalne laga,
Mujh par kaisa chhaya khumaar,
Kya yahi hota hai pyaar,

Raat bhar main soya nahin,
Teri yaadon mein khoya kahin,
Yeh kya hua hai mujhe yaar,
Kya yahi hota hai pyaar,

Yeh duniya badala sa laga,
Bin wazah muskurane laga,
Yeh hawayein kuch kahne lagi,
Ik khushboo si bahne lagi,
Har pal rahta tera intezaar,
Kya yahi hota hai pyaar,

Sapnon mein kyun ati baar baar,
Kya yahi hota hai pyaar,
Aisa kyun hota hai mere yaar,
Kya yahi hota hai pyaar,

Tere bina sab suna lage,
Yeh dil tadapne lage,
Tere bina ek pal yahan,
Jeena mushkil iss jahan,

Mujh par kaisa chhaya khumaar,
Kya yahi hota hai pyaar,
Kaise kahun mujhko hai pyaar,
Bas tumse hi mere yaar.

Thirst for love

Her sweet words stole my breath,
Her irresistible charm awoke my spirit from death,
Slowly and steadily my heart lost control,
It beats on its own rhythm, rise and fall,

It doesn’t know my thirst,
It experienced this sweet pain very first,
It just beats and I suffer in vain,
Her absence is driving me insane,

Her soul seems familiar since ages,
Her mellifluous voice echoes in my mind nights and days,

My heart is restless, I’ve lost all my sense,
It’ll be quenched by her only presence,
My eyes look for her in every possible sight,
They know nowhere but her angelic face to alight,

Her intense gaze that almost killed me,
Stopped my heart from beating,
Slowly and steadily my eyes lost sleeps,
Love for her from my blood seeps,

My smile resonates with frequency of her memories,
My attention lulled by her caressing love breeze,

I spend each evening in memories of her,
Morning to nightfall, my eyes await her,
The obsession has taken control over my mind,
This craze for her, will she someday find?
I do believe in love, love,
Does she believe in my love, love?
