Jaag ke Kaati...

Raat ho chuki thi
Par neend ka dur tak koi pata nahi tha
Andhera itna ke ek saya tak nahi
Saath dene ko..

Itne mein
Ek jhonka aaya hawa ka
Aur ura le gaya badal ko

Thodi si chandni chhan ke aayi
khirki se
Aur aaine me apna aks nazar aaya
Socha do ghari apne akse se hi
Guftgu kar li jaye

Kehte hain aaina sach bolta hai
Par mera aks to bilkul shant nazar aaya
koi halchal nahi uske andar
khush nazar aaya apni zindagi se

Maine puchha,
"kahan mili tumhe itni khshi?
Mujhe bhi pata do wahan ka
Lagta hai jaise arsa ho gaya ho
muskuraye huye..."

Aur hairan ho gayi
Jab aks ne jawab diya,
"Tumse!jhaank ke dekho apne andar
tumhare dil ke ek kone mein
ek muskurahat
kab se tumhare labon pe khilne ka
intezaar kar rahi hai..."

Dhundh ke dekha to
wakai mein wo mil gayi mujhe...
Aur achanak
Roshan ho gaya mera kamra
Chandni se nahi,

Meri muskurahat se.......

SMILE

Sitting here on my own
completely immersed in my thoughts deep,
Taking a break from the hustle bustle
of the world thats moving fast and crisp.....

Lost in your thoughts,
Remembering the times we fought....
Because beautiful were the moments
When later on I cried
And you wrapped me in the warmth of your words
and gave me that assuring smile....

Remembering that smile makes me smile again
Siiting here on my own,I suddenly realise
that I am ready to face this world again
with a SMILE....
