She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellow'd to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o'er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.
And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!

Don’t know who I am,
Am I right or wrong?
Am I weak or strong?
Am I someone’s someone?
Or just a selfish I am.
Am I what I am?
Or am I what I aspire to be?
Am I the philosophy I follow?
Or am I the act I do?
Really don’t know who I am.

If you are not liked much, if you do not adjust to routine, if your thinking doesn't match to others then you are the kind which changes the way people like, do and think ...

अक्सर ज़िन्दगी के अनजान सफ़र में,मुसाफिरों के काफिले बन जाते हैं |
औरों के रस्ते हमारी रहे बन जाते हैं,
अपने गिरेबान दूसरों के साये बन जाते हैं,
मुश्किल राहों पे हमसफ़र सहारे बन जाते हैं,
तूफान म...

Am i restricted myself
from pleasures,
or its just illusions ofunknown desires.It would have been different,
don't know right or wrong,
if i am on the edgeand leaped forward being strong.
All the deeds not donefor all kinds of reasons,
haunts me sometimesin the lonely seasons.Hope everything happensfor a mysterious cause,still unknown of it, but
i am not the same person i was. Continue reading...

I want to know someone
I want to be understood
I want to share pain
I want to be in love again
Neither for any reason
Nor because of desire
Not even for any gain
I want to be in love again
To let myself
and my whole life
in someone's name
I want to be in love again
Take care and dedication
For dependency and affection
Play crazy and insane
I want to be in love again

राख में बुझती हुई चिंगारी सोचती है
कोई फूँक दे तो धधक के जल जाऊं
या धीरे धीरे सुलगते हुए राख बन जाऊं
कुछ देर में भी जली थी साथियों के साथ
सब छोड़ गए उसे बस उनके अवशेष है
राख म...

एक नयी सोच, एक नया ख्याल
ज़िन्दगी को देखने का नया दृष्टिकोण
बदल जाती है यूँ ज़िन्दगी
लेकर पल भर का मौन
धारा सी फूट पड़ी है कहीं पत्थरों से
और बहती ही चली जाती है
सुलगती ज्वालामु...

खोने के बाद ही न होने का एहसास होता है,
यह समझते ही नहीं जब वो पास होता है |
यह दिल जब कभी भी निराश होता है,
उससे न मिल पाने का और भी आभास होता है |
जब उसे फिर से पाने का आस होता है,
में ज़मीन और वोह आका...

Leave me alone
I wanna destroy my world
I will not mourn
I want to go mad
Every word said is poking
and every sound is disturbing
Air is such suffocating
I feel like losing
Restlessness is killing me
but I dont want to sway
I want some peace
I want to get away
