I miss you bro...

I close my eyes
to dream.

Here;
You are here
with me;
you are not gone;

I called you
talked for hours
its not the same;
your voice;
its still lingering;
your songs;
pjs;
Its not the same;
I can not;
I could not;
dream up;
the same;
as you would have;
said it;
as you would have;
imagined it;
I am not up;
to the mark.

There is no one;
here to play the games;
we played;
its not the same;
there are no horses;
made of cushions;
there are no swords;
made of coconut leafs;
there are no bowlers;
to bat against; 
there is none to play with;
the way we played;
There is no one...
I can not dream up
the same;

The carefree;
The one whose;
Heart ruled over head;
the unyielding;
the one who
won hearts;
friends across borders;
friends across generations;
friends without seeing you once;
your legacy is unmatched;
I miss you bro.

Bas Kuch Pal...


Abhi toh bas kuch pal hi biten hain;

Mere bas kuch kal hi biten hain;

Wo Sunehri roshni aani baki hain;

Ye raat dhalni baki hain;

Aur kaafi waqt baki hain;

Kahin duurrr wo muskurahat chooni baki hain;

Ye ek Milne ki aas baki hain;

Aur kaafi baatein baki hain;


Abhi toh bas kuch pal hi biten hain;

Mere bas kuch kal hi biten hain;

Wo talab si baki hain;

Aakhir ye ek tadap si baki hain;

mujhme kaafi teri chaaha baki hain;

kisi manjil par meri shaurat bhi baki hain;

Aakhir wo khwaish bhi baki hain;

Aur kai karwate baki hain;


Abhi toh bas kuch pal hi biten hain;

Mere bas kuch kal hi biten hain;

Abhi hasil hi kya hain;

jo ye zindagi puri ho jaye;

abhi ek saas toh baki hain;

Wo aakhri ek ladai;

abhi mujhme baki hain;

aadhuri si ek zindagi abhi baki hain;


Abhi toh bas kuch pal hi biten hain;

Mere bas kuch kal hi biten hain;

Abhi aasun na chalka;

jo ye ek zindagi puri kahelay;

kahani abhi bhi baki hain;

tera chalna manjil ki aur;

abhi baki hain;

Aakhir main tujhme abhi baki hu;


Abhi toh bas kuch pal hi biten hain;

Mere bas kuch kal hi biten hain;

haar jeet toh lagi rahegi;

duniya toh waise bhi chalti rahegi;

tum muskurana aise hi;

mere bina bhi;

mera us muskurahat ko chuna abhi baki hain;

aakhir main tujhme abhi baki hu;


Abhi toh bas kuch pal hi biten hain;

Mere bas kuch kal hi biten hain;

Wo kuch baatein abhi baki hain;

Ye raat dhalni abhi baki hain;
