Sweetest pull of destiny

The eagle flies above the cloud,
Thinking it'll escape the rain
No matter how much it pours down,
It escapes the drenching tears and stain
But you cannot out-think, out-run, out-fly,
Some things are just not meant to be,
From the darkest corners cannot escape,
The sweetest pull of destiny

My shadow, my only companion

The meaning's lost,
What hurt it caused
Can't see the shore
In horizon across

Onward i swim
Catching my breath
The cool waves won't
Douse the fire that's felt

What good are the oars
For the boat has sunk
What good is the lore
For the luck that's drunk

Sink or swim
Ain't die or live
The link of whims
Survived, it still

The wanderer wanders
And wonders amazed
How did it come,
Why did this surface?
How can I, the nomad be
Not unattached, not be free
I'll find myself under these troubled skies
Not the reflection, the one in their eyes

It will be severed
The bonds that bind
It will be levered
The story destined
The power of will
Put to my test
The company I trust
My shadow the best...

The stars, my friends

The stars come out
For they need me
To be my friend
For they miss me

I will tell them
The events befallen
The moments found
And those forgotten

I'll tell them how
I had my day
About my plans
For they will stay

They all blink
Sleepy I think
But they share
About things they care
And so do I
I'm their friend, aren't I?

Some too sleepy
Dreamworld bound
Crash to the ground
Ray of light astound

I close my eyes
Pray for them
All the wellness
At their helm

As we resume
The talks of town
The tears and joys
The feelings unbound

Millions of shoulders
All for me
Millions of comforts
Everything I seek

With lifted weights
I find my peace
Bid adieu to the stars
For being with me

Till the next day
Comes to pass
With more to listen
More to laugh

But for now
I'll call it a night
To my million friends
I bid goodnight.

Tanha safar

Ek mafhil thi dosto ki,
Jisme har vo saks tha,
Jinke sath aarzoo,
Hum karte thy,
Sub toh maad mast thy,
Ek dusre mein,
Hum mojud ho kar bhi,
Hum kahi nahi thy,
Mafhil mei rusva hue,
Tanha rahe,
Phir vo subha hui,
Thama humne dil ka hath,
Nikal paade khud ki talash mein,
Khud se pyar hua,
Ek naya sa alag sa,
Ahsaas hua,
Khud ki khushi,
Aur jinda hone ka ahsaas hua……
