Aaj Bhi..

Aaj bhi khwaab unke aate hain, toh aankh bhar aati hain

Woh pal, woh ehsaas dil ke itne kareeb hain

Hosh mein hum unhe yaad karne se katraate hain

Par behoshi mein gehri har ek jazbaat khilke nazar aati hain

Un khayaalon pe mera bas nahi chalta

Dil ke kisi ek kone mein dabi woh ehsaas khud ko jataake

Bas saanson mein unki haseen khushboo chhod gum ho jaati hain…

I wish...

I wish...

Sometimes in my solitude I see your face floating

in and out of my thoughts like a flash

I reach out to touch you and feel with my fingers

the warmth of your memories one more time

You smile your crooked smile and fade away

an ephemeral shadow just stays behind

My fingers just grasps an empty space

a void left by your mocking smile

I dream of a thousand words I wanna say to you

many a times I respond to your voice

and then the smile on my lips goes back to what it was

when I realize the voice I hear is just my own

I think of a time by the beach with the vast ocean ahead

My head on your shoulders and my hand in yours

The silence of the minutes fading into hours

and yet it felt like we shared a lifetime together

Your words your smile your touch I miss

I miss the couch we watched happy endings together in

The sound of your voice calling my name

I wish I could feel them all again... once... just one more time
