Nazm

Tu nazm banke sang chalna
Main shabd banke tujhme utaroon.
Shabdon ki dori banke tu, jehan mein utarna
Main bol banke tujhme samaoon.

Nazm jaise rag rag mein bas jaoon
Geet banke saavan jaise bahaaroon.
Tu sawal banke mujhe karna rubaru
Main jawab banke tujhme samet jaoon.

Tu raag jaise nazm ko tarashna
Main shringaar banke nazm shringaaroon.
Donon milke vaaky banayein
Har geet ko madhur sajayein.

Nazm ke bina feeka ho yeh jeevan
Ah bina kaise ho sangam.
Aao milke mitaayein jeevan se gham
Har pal nau rason se karke sansar ka beejan.

                                                                   ~Shruti

Tu

Zindagi mein meri bas tu hi tu hai,  
Har khwab mein meri bas tu hi tu hai.

Har saans mein jo bas gaya hai khushbu banke,  
Us mehka hua jahan mein bas tu hi tu hai.

Mere labon pe tera zikr sada hai,  
Mere har qissa-e-gham mein bas tu hi tu hai.

Chaand ke saath jo guftagu karun raaton mein,  
Wahan bhi mere lafzon mein bas tu hi tu hai.

Jahan nazar uthaoon, tera chehra dikhta hai,  
Har manzar ke rangon mein bas tu hi tu hai.

Zindagi mein meri bas tu hi tu hai,  
Har khwab mein meri bas tu hi tu hai.

Half Love

She did not understand my true love
I did not express my true feelings
as to what she is to me in life
she did not open up to me
nor I did tell her
and it remained
unexpressed
half love


Unhe kadr kahan hamare pray ki
Hamein fursat kahan is baat ki
Ke hum unhe yakeen dilate 
Ki wo kya hain hamare 
Ye jaan paate
Bus reh gaya
Yeh banke
Ek afsana
Adhure
Pyar 
ka
