Tumhari pyaari, Shaayari

Main teri ho naa saki to kya, Aaj bhi teri shaayari ban jaati hoon..
Un shabdon ke uljhe hue dhaagon se, ab joojh na paati hoon..
In alfazon mein teri naraazgi bhi hai..
kabhi dekha to dua hai, aur kabhi meri barbaadi bhi hai..
Ae musaafir ab aur tu safar na kar..
yahi hai teri manzil, kisi aur ki dua na kar...
teri zindagi ka hissa bhi hoon aur ek gehra raaz bhi
dil ka ehsaas kabhi, gham-e-shaayari ka taaj bhi..
kadwahat ke aalam mein yeh mohabbat shehad ban jaati hai..
inn lehron ka shor bhi hai, fir bhi sannate ko mehsoos karwati hai..
yaad aata hai woh milon chalna chandni ki chaadar tale..
kisi ko khabar na thi, warna aaj humari misaal ban jati veh..

Subah ka intezaar tha

Phir se zindagi thodi si dagmagaayi hai..
Jaane kiska nashaa chadha tha mujhe..
Hosh mein aaye to aas-paas koi na tha..
Apni hi dhun mein chal rahe the kahin..
Aankh kholi thi jab dekha is jag ko..
Kohra hi chhaya tha har jagah.Woh oas ki boondein thi ya,Aakhon se chalke aanson..Gham-e-shyaam nikal gayi..fir hui ek nayi subah..

Dad...

It feels like it happened just yesterday..
As I remember every second so crystal clear
The time slowed down, the voices less heard,
I could hear my heartbeat but rest of the body all numb.
Some things could make sense but most couldn't,
Because I couldn't accept the fact that the battle was over and defeat was marked.
It's over.
But then I started seeing you everywhere..
More than I could see you before..
In the reflection off the back of the gleaming spoon..
In a gesture my sister makes..
In the arch of my lips when I'm stressed..
Through the brush strokes of paintings you have made..
In the tone of my mother, the strongest person you made..
You are still around in our every breath..
There were valleys and peaks I crossed this year,
Felt like you helped me climb the mountains with no fear..
A rebel, a fighter you taught us to be..
You are still in our hearts and mind.. and will always be..
Love,
Your Daughter
