...You...

Dear “YOU”...

You are more than a man... you’re my angel;
You are more than a soul … you’re my existence.

You are more than a ray… you’re my sunshine;
You are more than a breeze… you’re my breath!

You are more than a music... you’re my heartbeat;
You are more than a hue ... you’re my rainbow.

You are more than a quote ... you’re my motivation;
You are more than a poem... you’re my inspiration.

You are more than silence... you’re my peace of mind;
You are more than solace… you’re my oasis of life.

You are more than a dream... you’re my memory;
You are more than a fairytale... you’re my Diary.

You, to me, are … more than you can imagine…!!!

~~As I say Good bye to “You”~~

Never been loved this much!

For love, I will...

I've seen it in your eyes,
I've heard it in your voice,
I've felt it in your touch,
Oh! I've been never loved this much!

For love, I'll be alright,
I'll try with all my might;
For love, I'll wait...
even if you get a lil late.

Because..

I've seen it in your eyes,
I've heard it in your voice,
I've felt it in your touch,
Oh! I've been never loved this much!

For love, I'll work hard,
& be strong when we're apart;
For love, I'll believe ...
Believe in you and me!

Because..

I've seen it in your eyes,
I've heard it in your voice,
I've felt it in your touch,
Oh! I've been never, ever...

Never, ever been loved this much!

For you, My love &  for your love for me!

I'll be here, right here; until you find me! 

Busy Lives!!!

Why does our life get busy?
What happens when our lives get busy?
Do we have any control over our very own lives?

Why does our life get busy?
When priorities change in life; that is when life start getting busier.
And life remains busy until we think we have done enough for that priority… and of course until we nominate yet another ‘top priority’!
Well… once we get our passion set, our world revolves around that goal.
And nothing seems to be even half as important as that priority – not even self!

What happens when your lives get busy?
24 hours for a day runs short.
Time management – appears just a mere management term!
you are unable to do anything you think you should be doing; Be it contacting friends, calling up family members or even taking time for self. Everything else in life takes a back seat … except the current top priority!
NOW – the next question is …
When we dedicated all the time we have with all our might; to our ‘Top Priority’ – sacrificing everything else in life – Does it guarantee ‘peace of mind’ thru ‘sense of achievement’? Unfortunately – not always!

Do we have any control over our very own lives?
Ahh! That’s a question or it’s a symbol of confusion?
Many people say… that’s a question – a starting point of ‘Spiritualism’
Question? Confusion? Spiritualism?
....
Sorry
...I can’t cover that here... U see… I’m leading quite a busy life!!!

Why are people so busy???

Say anything, but ‘Goodbye’!

You see me today,
You’d imagine me tomorrow;
You hear me today,
You’d recall me tomorrow…
You pamper me today,
You’d care for me tomorrow;
You love me today,
You’d keep loving me tomorrow…

Words, with winds, are on fly…
My breath today is replaced by sigh!
And my tears just refuse to dry...
Didn’t’ we wish to stay nearby?
Now, you’re packing bags, tell me why?
Say anything, but ‘Goodbye’!

I need you today,
I’d crave for you tomorrow;
I felt you today,
I’d remain touched tomorrow…
I live by you today,
I’d want the same tomorrow;
I love you today,
I’d keep loving you tomorrow…

Words, with winds, are on fly…
My breath today is replaced by sigh!
And my tears just refuse to dry...
Didn’t’ we wish to stay nearby?
Now, you’re packing bags, tell me why?
Say anything, but ‘Goodbye’!

Have you seen a sunset in dreams?
Did you wait in bed for sunrise or
Did you kiss the sun goodbye?

Kaisey Humey Na Yaad Rahey…?

Kaisey Humey Na Yaad Rahey…?

Ek tilismee mulaqaat, Ek haseen farishtey ke saath;
Uss saath ka tilismee asar, kaisey humey naa yaad rahe?

Thaamey rahe woh mera haath, aur jaagte rahe saari raat;
Uss raat ka katra-katra, Kaisey humey naa yaad rahe?

Humari har ek muskaan, Jisney maani apni shaan;
Uss shaan ko sambhale rakhna, Kaisey humey naa yaad rahey?

Humarii taraf unkii mohabbat, Aur unkii paak sohbat;
Uss Sohbat ki aisei barkat, kaisey humey naa yaad rahey?

Shaayad ek ajnabi hai who, lekin kaabil saahir hai woh;
Uss saahir ki jaan ban.na, Kaisey humey naa yaad rahey?


~ Rups ~ 28th March 2008 :)

Tah'joob karte the log saarey,
aisey they be.nazir khwaab humarey;
Unn Khwaabo ka haqeeqat ban.na,
Kaisey humey na yaad rahey???

Hey Sweets .... !!! (Why she has to go?)

Hey Sweets, stay quiet, stay calm…
Don’t say a word, but just be around;
Lemme listen to your heartbeat –
-(it seems) louder than usual!
Lemme gaze into your eyes –
- (they are) Brighter than usual!

We don’t need any talk,
But as we take a walk…
Let the breeze play
Into your hair –
& lemme look at you
Without a stare…

I may not hold your hand-
But by you, I stand!!
I may not say it aloud-
But it’s in my sigh
Last night, I felt kissed
When u said “GoodBye”!!!

But hey Sweets, Don’t say ‘Goodbye’;
Just stay back… without asking ‘why’
Hey Sweets, stay quiet, stay calm…
Don’t say a word, but please, be around!!!

‘Why she has to go? Why can’t she stay?
Maybe I’ll ask her that … one fine day!!!”

Dil ki baatein na karo!

"Dil ki baatein na karo - humi ko uski khabar nahi...
Haan jaantey hai itnaa - ki mili abhi woh nazar nahi...
Jisey dekhkar aur jin me doobkar, kuch der baad
Rukk jaaye dhadkaney - kum se kum ek baar hi sahii..."

"Rahe khamosh phir unkii nazar, aur hum bhi chup rahe,
Naa baatey karey honth bhi, Magar nazar kaayam rahe;
Humari tarahh woh bhi, inn aankhon me doob jaaye phir...
Phir dono dilo ki dhadkane, palbhar ke liye thami rahe...!!!

A Gerbera-Morning!!!

A Gerbera-Morning!!!

Though I woke up late, I felt pretty fresh -
*As fresh as a dew drop* Well... as always!

I felt the cold breeze caressing my hair,
while laying on bed With open window near!

Soon after I woke up - "OH WOW!" I said...
I found my favorite Gerbera -in both - Yellow & Red!

"Gud Morning" said we^ gently to each other
& we knew this day Wasn't just another !!!

^We: Me & My Gerberas :)

~ Ruu ~ 20th March 2008 ~ A Morning with Gerberas !!!

...Achanak woh jab ayaa nazar…

Tham gaye usey phir dekhkar,
Achanak woh jab ayaa nazar…
Sitam phir hua tab rooh par –
Achanak woh jab ayaa nazar…

Saansey zara ruk si gayi,
Ashqo se palke jhuk si gayi,
Hua uska phir tilismi asar…
Achanak woh jab ayaa nazar…

Kya mohabbat, kya qazaa hai?
Meri tabaahi ki kya wajaah hai?
Jaaye kahaan? Dekhe kidhar…
Achanak woh jab ayaa nazar…

Yaadein phir taaza huyi,
Zindagi phir sazaa huyi,
Huye waqt se phir bekhabar…
Achanak woh jab ayaa nazar…

Kyoun humne usey roka nahi?
Kyoun usney hume dekha nahi?
Kyoun ro padey hum tootkar …
Achanak woh jab ayaa nazar…

Why can’t I become invisible-
…especially to him who considers me one?
Why do I have to miss someone so dearly-
…especially him, who considers me 'No one'?

Boondey!!!

...Boondey!!!...

Kabhi yaado ko chedati … tip tipati boondey
Kabhi muskaan khilaati … sharaarati boondey;
Kabhi khidkiyon se takraati … bulaati boondey
Kabhi ghataaon se, Kabhi palko se … barasti boondey!!

Kisikii baaton-si lagtii … keh kehaati boondey
Humari chatt pe aakar … sar saraati boondey;
Usee chatt pe hume khinchti … bheegaati boondey,
Phir choo leti hothon ko … halki gun gunaati boondey!!

Kabhi darr, kabhi thandd banke … thar tharaati boondey
Aur kabhi puraane dard ko … pyaar se sehlaati boondey;
Bahot bheegey iin boondon mei … Dekho baarishh bhi thamm gayi
Shouk se abb in ankhon me dekho … Paaoge kuch sookhtii boondey!!!
