You mean the world to me!


you are a fairytale
the sea in which i sail
you are the clouds from where angels hail.

you are a happy song
the rhythmic beat of a gong
you are the smile on the face of a little monk

you are a gentle breeze
which lifts me up with ease
you are the cure to my love disease

you are an empty page
the bird who is free from a cage
you are my life, you are the sage

you are a firm belief
a sacred tree's greenest leaf
you are the spark of light when i cant see

you are a wind chime
a baby's nursery rhyme
you are the temple's purest hymn

you are a sunny day
the early dawn when i pray
you are the slightest hope's darkest ray

you are the brightest star
and my favorite guitar
you are a petal of the prettiest flower

you are a wedding ring
i cherish the charm you bring
you are the one who changes winter to spring

you are the smell of earth
an old grandpa's hearty mirth
you are the angel who led Jesus's birth

you are my strength in odds
the verve in my silent bod
you are my only truth, you are my only lord!

The day it rained...


we were holding hands on the rocky shore
when i clenched your arm, as the clouds roared
I thought to flee but you kept on standing
I withdrew my steps, I was afraid of parting

the very next moment there came a warning bell
and soon we were under the watery spell
the clouds poured with all their might
and I squirmed again, dead with fright

I pulled you back and ran under a tree
I was timid and meek but you were in total spree
you struggled me back under the fiery drops
and laid me on the strand like a total corpse

I watched you scream like a joyful child
you made the furious drops feel so mild
you lifted me up in utmost glee
I felt like a bird, i felt so free

we jumped together in the puddles of water
our faces spoke of never-ending laughter
like never before you held my hand
and we kissed on that golden sand!

you didn't allow it to finish here
for you the end was far from near
in front of the setting sun, you played a song
and we danced with rapture all night long

in our blooming love, we were so engrossed
in an extravaganza of emotions we were so lost
nor time or tide could stop us that night
we spread an aura of warmth in the absence of light

to stop us, all the efforts of nature went in vain
and then bowed in respect, the clouds stopped to rain
in my room, I have still got those moments framed
to always remember the day, when it rained....


Happy Times


it always started with hearty laughs
but ended in petty fights
you brought me fragrant flowers
but today they have completely dried

yesterday was a pool of pleasure
today is a painful sore
your love was a secret treasure
that i did completely adore

it feels just a moment ago
when i was lying in your arms
but now it is all super ego
that has done unamendable harms

last night was an ecstasy
when we made tremendous love
today's night is a dark fantasy
with starless sky above

those moments were a gift
the gift very few receive
but that gift went adrift
and the adam left his eve

what happenend to you ?
was i at fault?
why did the sugary dew
turn into bitter salt?

some days before, late at night
my cellphone sweetly rang
on the other side of the phone
'i love you' you dearly sang

at that moment my tears flowed
but you never let that happen again
at that split second, my heartbeat slowed
your love was more than i could imagine

but today in the darkness of disbelief
that love has faded away
your care like a touch of a tender leaf
in the breeze has lost its way

i sitting alone, remember days
when we sang our romantic rhymes
i don't know if you recall this space
where we spent our happy times...

Miss You


i miss you
i miss your smile
i miss you
i cant deny

in this world of dreams
i am all alone
why cant you see
where have you gone
leaving me blue
i have got no clue
where to find you
was your love true...oh yeah

i miss you
i miss your smile
i miss you
i cant deny

i had a dream
you and me
hand in hand
walking on a beach
but things went wrong
and i wrote this song
coz you are the one
whom i belong...and yes

i miss you
i miss your smile
i miss you
i cant deny

come back i need you
come back i miss you

when i tell u
this tale of mine
my heart bleeds my eyes cry
but i still try
coz you know why.....

i miss you
i miss your smile
i miss you
i cant deny...!!

Kill the killing terror


Behold. The darkness
Smile in pain
As today our motherland
Dies again.

Shot brutally
By a mob of ten
Stabbed painfully
By neighboring men

Not a road is safe
For people to walk
Not a train is sound
‘they’ maybe in the flock

Where to hide
Where to mask
What is my fault?
The innocent asks

In his house itself
The innocent bleeds
In his house itself
The family pleads

At the site of crime
The police sleeps
At two in the night
The family weeps

One more dead
No one cares
Ten thousand bombed
They just stop and stare

A mother screams,
As she loses her son
the father quietens
holding the ashes of the only one

hundreds die
unseen and unknown
government defies
and speaks its own

Is there an end
To this ruthless killing
Can any one help
The beans are spilling

Wake up people
Raise your voice
Mumbai, jaipur, delhi
There is no other choice

Enough of bleeding
Enough of violence
Lets speak out
And break the silence

mothers, dry up your tears
fathers, muster courage
wounded, stand upright
let them face our fuming rage

Lets make an effort
Lets take a step
United we hold hands
United we march ahead

The police will stop
And the government will freeze
Our steps to life
And to peace

But we have to fight
For our motherland
Let no burials dig
In our sacred sand

Let every child speak jai hind
And unleash the youth’s might
Then we would seem as a whirlwind
Blowing hard to give terror a fatal flight!

The unlucky bride


Today I write
the story of a bride
who is said to marry as they say
a man of pride

little girl of sixteen
to a school who has never been
is asked to lay
with a man never seen

since the day she was born
her world was forlorn
it was all work no play
from night to morn

from night to morn??
Yes night to morn
She had to return home
With her clothes torn.

Her life was a bitter truth
There was no mercy no chance of ruth
To make money her parents sold her everyday
Not a night to sleep not a dawn to pray

Today, sitting in her room
Her eyes were flowing gloom
She knew she was sold again
She hadn’t a shoulder to loom

She sits back searching her fault
But she did not know it was by default
That the men march ahead
And women have to halt

She is unable to decide
Her mind treads wide
To take this marriage
As a bliss or another dark side

Even after a dreadful past
she was getting married at last
but if the groom turns to be one of “those”
would the situation be a total contrast??

There was nothing she could have done
The marital ceremonies had begun
The day was quickly turning to dusk
She couldn’t fight, she couldn’t run

Immediately after reaching the room
She was laid down by her groom
The cold truth revealed what it had known
With tears in her eyes, the girl terribly moaned

At the break of the dawn
As the girl opened her eyes like of a swan
There was no one beside her
She just kept reaching on

Her husband was nowhere to be found
She couldn’t seek help as to marital knot she was bound
But sooner she realized that he would never come
There was no point to look around

Once again the fate betrayed
A little girl of a village maid
When returned home she was called a curse
And not a single effort to console her was made

The girl was parted with her so called spouse
And forbidden to enter her own house
So with a finishing idea
The girl aroused.

In this world of shame
The little girl sighed
In this era of pain
A blade was tried
And on the next day of her marriage
An unlucky bride died………

Don’t have that terrible look on ur face becoz reality does not have a “happily ever after”

I still dream with my eyes open....


oh when i realized
that you are gone
my heart told me
that i am all alone
with these fingers dead
there is no sensation
my guitar longs for a new vibration

just then i close my eyes
i remember our love paradise
the first time you held my hand
with footprints on the golden sand
but then the truth screams, i am all awaken
but i still dream with my eyes open...

those days have left and the spring has slept
the mighty ocean has lost its depth
do u remember our first kiss?
our love was an eternal bliss
your ignorance has struck me broken
but i still dream with my eyes open...

today the sunshine feels too bright
all hues have merged in a single white
the birds are quiet, the clowns are sad
a hungry beggar was treated bad
everything is under a bad omen
but i still dream with my eyes open...

it is hard to forget the past to pass
sweet memories flee, only melancholies last
you came and went leaving me behind
do i still exist in your heart or mind?
but i truly owe my life to you
coz u wiped my tears when my days were blue
our crystal clear air of love has now smokened,
but i still dream with my eyes open...
