Waiting for you...

Dil behal toh jaayega, iss khayal se,
haal mil gaya tumhara apne haal se
Raat ye qaraar ki, beqaraar hai
Tumhara intezaar hai...

Honth pe liye huye dil ki baat hum

jaagte rahenge aur, kitni raat hum
Muqtasar si baat hai, tumse pyaar hai
Tumhara intezaar hai...

Hauntingly beautiful. One of my all time favourite composition, as reminded by my Alibag partner. That wait, that never-ending, beautiful, agonizing, enticing but heart wrenching, yet the most worthwhile wait... Tumhara intezaar hai, Tum pukar lo...

Someday

Someday, somewhere
you would wake up
and i would be gone
The same silly one
who filled you up
with laughter and cheer

Someday you will glance

to your left side
and search for my face
but find no trace...
While i would hide
not to be found by any chance

Someday you would seek

the warmth, the comfort
of my hands, in yours
While it will only be yours
in my sweatshirt:
the one i forgot to take back

Someday you would realise

that i love you more
than i could ever express
which i would never confess
even behind closed doors
But i would have been lost to your eyes

Someday i would run

And let go of my emotions
Someday you would be
just another one
Someday you would not rule
and i would not be a fool

Someday i would think of me

before i think of you

Someday your smile

won't be my only prize
Someday i would love you less
And i would not be a mess
Someday i will...
Someday i shall...
