Can't Stay the Night




Watching
Waking
Wading
Waist deep in awkward replies
Sunsets
Airplanes
Cold wind hangs on all the goodbyes
Aching
Breaking
Fading like a burnout star
Always
I've been
Somewhere way too far
And I can't stay another night
And I need not be wrong to be right


Crying
Sighing
Staring with nose pressed to the glass
Waiting
Debating
Unanswered questions, thought but never asked
Wearing
Tearing
Like the book.. lost to a rainstorm
Braving
Craving
to go back to the place I belong

And I cant Stay the night
I waited for you to hop in all this while
So know that I have to leave
I am a bird that crashed to the tree
And I know I'm sad and crazy
Maybe an aftershock of finally being free

Rewind
Replay
Feeding off memories of days gone by
Shutdown
Start-up
Warning bells for re-starting my life
Voices
Choices
Noises rumbling in my head
Atoning
Postponing
And holding my breath

And I cant Stay the night
So I am off on solitary ride
Somewhere miles and miles away
Seeking brighter blue skies and clouds less grey
Although this may sound like a cliche
Its ironical that I came here for you, only to find you walk away.

कच्ची


Roothi hui hai tu
Ek pal mein maanegi
Dil se hamesha hai... Tu bacchi
Are zindagi tu bhi
Mere hi jaisi hai
Dikhti hai sayaani.. Par hai kacchi

Is bade sheher ki bheed mein
Mujhe log begaane se lagte hai
Teri choti khoti baaton se door
Yaha log zyada hi sayaane se lagte hain

Mere intezaar mein na baith tu yoon
Ungli meri chal thaam le
Har baar mere sang chali hai tu
Aaj apni Didi ko pakar, duur le chal mujhe

Yahake bade bade kothiyon se zyada
Teri choti-si gali acchi lagti hain
Yaha begaani si khushi, jaha pal bhar ka vaada
Mujhe Teri ek hasi hi sabse sacchi lagti hai

Ghar se door, doston se door
Tujme na jaane kaha se himmat aata hai
Meri koshish toh jaari hai
Par kabhi kabhi dil bhar sa jaata hai

Dil ki choti atpati khwaishein
Aj kal Dil mein hi simte se rehte hai
Soch samajh ke chalna padta hai, chutki
Kya pata, shayad isiko bada hona kehte hain?

Roothi hui hoon main
Par pal bhar mein maanungi
Dil chahta haii rahoon main bacchhi
Aye zindagi tu bhi
Mere hi jaisi hai
Dikhti sayaani hai.. Par hai kacchhii

  
Sach kahoon toh yeh dil thoda thoda darta hai
Par apne liye na sahi.. Tere liye kuch karne ko jee karta hai

Almost


Virga : Rain or snow that evaporates before hitting the ground

In plain-sight
Halfway down..
I reach out my hand..
.. and then you'r gone


An almost-child of gravity
A stranger to the ground
just out of reach from my vicinity
Never lost nor found

And everytime I am so sure it will begin.. 
It begins to seem it will never be.
And if waiting was a crime I am drowning in the sin
Sentenced by your virga, lasting an eternity.
