bikhar gaya insaan

na choot saka woh daag jism ka
jo har din mene jiya hai
na toot saka woh hausla man ka
jo har din tumne toda hai
na beet saka woh pal gam ka
jo aasuo mein baha hai
na bhul saki woh din
mar mar ke jo mene jiya hai

ek choti se farmaish thi
ek saair ki umeed
guzar rahi thi har roz us gali se
jaha tumne kiya basera tha
khoon ke cheete ab bhi milte hai
jaha mere armano ne apni aakri saas li
woh kya dushmani thi bhaiya
jiske karan tumne meri khushi li?

raat ka andhara ab apna lagta hai
saware se daarti hu
kadam jab bahar rakhu
nighao se bachti hu
chehra mera khobsoorat tha
aaj mein dupette ka sahara leti hu
jab dil mein farmish jagti hai
us din ke yaad mein jeeti hu

ek pal mein beet gayi zindagi
lakho laashe mein ek meri bhi ho sakti thi
tuti nahi hu, bas bikhar gayi hu
sahara nahi, pyar dhundti hu
kya karu apne aap ko sambhal kar
jab har kone mein maut ho

din din laash gir rahi hai
haan bahut aabadi hai!
har maut mein hazaro sapne
kya yeh nahi barbadi hai?
kaun hai aisa bhagwan ya allah ya guru
jisne kaha kurban karo?
janat dundte hai jo
phele ek acha insaan bano

Coming undone

i cannot tie the threads
that have come undone
i cannot hold back the tears no more
that have swept all hope
i cannot hide behind a smile
when the cracks are there for everyone to see
i cannot try anymore
when the sand has slipped from my hands to the floor

i cannot give in
when i have nothing left to give
i cannot comfort you
when my heart itself is blue
i cannot stay away
when your arms are all i need
i cannot stay strong
when i know our souls meet

i cannot pretend or lie
when tears escape my eye
i cannot hide behind the mask
when even breathing becomes a task
i cannot run any longer
as my grip on reality is not stronger..
i cannot dream of us
when promises have become dust

and who do you thing you are?
walking in and out alone
when my hands are spread and i beg
when i kneel down and try to remind you all that you said
who do you think you are?
when you walk out that door
stranding me lonely away from the shore
where do i sail to, where do i go?
the storm is coming, there is hope, no more.
