Deception

I could never see , and you could never feel
have you had a wound that could automatically heal?
this is what you know , and that was what i see
if you put your friend in a prism , you'll see an enemy

stop correcting what was wrong , and taking so long
the case is simple, and i know you're strong
emasculate the story , that bade us evil
chase the darkness , dusk to dawn

dont look at me , or search for sympathy
we could have avoided their treachery
have you ever had a cop on cold blood
still clueless of the mystery?

throw it all i dont care ,
till this point was all i could bare
remember you agreed to die for me and i bought it
now you'll have to fetch some acid , and throw it on the locket.

so write it all down , and eat away the paper
i do feel , we'll need to recall it later
when i do , please say you knew
and i'll drink the fucking ink, so i could write on you

The Fall

We match candles and the light is felt,
they illuminate us as they melt,
the sun hurts the moon and it never fights,
the moon's so happy sweetening our nights.

My hands so tired i can't hold you on,
if i leave you , you'd be gone,
i want to be the candle and the moon,
i see death for one of us soon.

My tendrils burst and my hands then sheiver,
my muscels reduce from flesh into paper,
I think i can't hear and sweat comes in flood,
I cough and suddenly, your face is filled with blood.

I dont want to lose you ,
I dont want to lose you,

If I let you go alone , i'd be alone for life,
my love can't take favours, then how can it be bribed,
a final wail i let out as you innocently look at me,
" I'd love you still after i die, set me free".

I pray to Lord to miracle us from here,
when again i felt my shoulders begin to tear,
my pain was void and it couldn't access my mind,
the touch of her hand was a sheild at that time.

My eyes begin to twitch and the eye closed their shutters,
the wind blew in pauses , i could feel it stutter,
I in my fainting stance heard a voice in my ears,
Lord said , "if you trust Me , face what you fear".

I let her go that instant and I saw her drift,
with the wind that blew violent , as she fell down the cliff,
she swayed with it, her clothes were a design in the air,
they swirled around her, so did her pretty hairs.

Up just feets when the dragon waters clapped their hands,
they said they'll chop her down but they never knew His plans,
her cloth stuck into a branch off the cliff,
her descend into death stopped denying waters of the gift.

And in nano time did the waters shut their waves,
the water laid still , as if a road there was made,
the branch broke off and she landed in the sea,
she swam round easily and made it up to me.

The Mirror

I know inside the mirror there stays,
A illusion that affects me in many ways,
Stand by it for a moment on two,
Unleash subdued power and placid grace.

The mirror I see is a msytical device,
When you see yourself with your own eyes,
The gift is great , and if not for it,
"Who indeed am I?" would be a painful secret in life.

But behind the mirror is a girl I can't see,
Yet through the glass, she always lives with me,
She turns the clockwork behind the mirror,
And designs how she like's me to be.

She knows what do I do , and what I can,
Alters the mirror, with her invisible hand,
When last day I saw the mirror I couldn't believe,
How her work made me a better man.

for my sister, my antidote

Nazm-e-runj

Phir aik zindagi ka alam bayan kernae bheta houn,
Phir aik khaghaz aur kalam saat liyae bheta houn,
Aj laykin mera yeh khaghaz num na ho,
Sub ansoun ko achi tarha khuskh ker k bheta houn

Bund darwazae hain jahan zindagi ka morr hai,
Kuch sahi sunaye na day , rooh mein itna shor hai,
Sahara mujhe chahiyae hee kyun ho,
Mera tu farashh hee kamzor hai.

Tairaaqi seekhi thi zaroor samandaroun mein kabhi,
Itnae baras beet janae per zinda houn tabhi,
Bheeg janae per bhi kabhi dooba nahi,
Laykin tufaan mein tum tairr k dekhlao tu sahi?

Bohat kuch ghalat howa hai yaad ata hai,
Maazi mera thumhae howae sholae ki aas bharata hai,
Murr ker dekhta houn tu yeh runj waheen nazar atae hain,
Jaisae mera saya merae peechae peecahe ata hai.

Kash mausum aur kismet ka koi rhista hota,
Badlata mausum tu phir badal jati kismet,
Phir yeh nazm-e-runj sirf aik kissa hota,
Kisi kitab-e-ghazal ka koi hissa hota.

Mujhe afsoos hai k yeh koi bemaari nahi,
Jis khisthi may mien houn ussmein koi sawari nahi,
Mujhe khisti chalanae mein maharat hoti hee kyun
Jub meri khisthi k neechae paani hee nahi.

Na janae kyun mein chahta houn khushioun mein hameshgi,
Jub yeh zindagi hamesha ki hai hee nahi.
