Regrets..

I wish i could see the painting to correct my brushstrokes in time..
I wish I could start again, and change a few things,
Regretful as I am.

I wish I had spent more time with people who stood by me
In times of crises,
So that we could be around now when I am happy,
Wish I had heard what they weren't saying,
Instead of the introspection i was caught up with..

I wish I had understood the meaning of friendship,
Before it was washed away into distance
By the vast seas of time...

Kalam meri naaraaz hai mujhse

Kalam meri naaraaz hai mujhse,

Kehti hai, “Aaj kal tum humari taraf dekhte kyu nahin?”

“Tumhare haath ka woh ehsaas,

Diary ke un panno mein tumhaare hi kuch raaz,

Kya tum un palon ko bhool gaye, jab main tumhaari zubaan thi?

Tumhaare zehen mein aaye hue un khyayaalon ko,

Tumhare dil ke un jazbaaton ko,

Main hi toh padh paati thi, main hi toh likhti thi..

Kyu roothe ho mujhse?

Bas ek baar chhoolo,

Kahin meri siyaahi na sookh jaaye.”
