Lost Promises
Once, only once,
Had I clasped your hands into mine!
While withdrawing them slowly,
You had closed your eyes!
And I knew, your eyes were filled
With dreams of the days ahead!
Once, only once,
Had I rested my head onto your shoulders!
While withdrawing them slowly,
You had closed your eyes!
And I knew, your eyes were filled
With dreams of the days ahead!
Once, only once,
Had I placed my lips onto yours!
While withdrawing them slowly,
You had closed your eyes!
And I knew, your eyes were filled
With dreams of the days ahead!
Those which were so sweetly sworn!
Where are those promises gone!

The Tajmahal
I have peeped a thousand times,
into your deep eyes.
Eyes that are the break of the day,
at sunrise!
Eyes that have the vastness
of the vast blue skies.
Eyes over which thousand times,
a poet dies!
Looking into the same eyes, my heart cries!
Pathos all around, before my eyes lies.
The dream to see a painfree world, flies.
I am wedded to them, can I break these ties!
Would You also see, what my soul tries.
To widen your vision, but not worldly wise!
It is grief indeed, in happiness' guise.
Others' sorrwos, who buys!
Oh, my Queen, I am a modern Emperor!
Can't build The Tajmahal for you!
You are My Taj!
The Crown, Invaluable !

KISKI YAADEN KISKI BAATEN KISKI KISKI YAAD KAREN !
ab to bahut der ho gayee , ab kis muh se baat karen !!
Milaa bahaana likhne ka, phir kuchh kehane sunane ka !
rahe adhoore khwaab kabhi jo, un khwaabon ko bunane ka !!
Pehale bun len khwaab adhoore, baaten uske baad karen !
Sabse sundar mahal banegaa, khwaab agar aabaad karen !!
Shubhaashansaaon ke deep jalaa kar, aao mil kar baanchen paati !
Phir sudhiyon ke pankh lag gaye, gaatin chiriyaaan aati jaati !!
Un sudhiyon aur un chiriyon ki, ik dooje saugaat karen !
Bahut shor gul bahut baat cheet, ab sub kuchh nishchaap karen !!
KISKI YAADEN KISKI BAATEN KISKI KISKI YAAD KAREN !
ab to bahut der ho gayee , ab kis muh se baat karen !!

You Rose Late, Oh, Moon!
You rose late, oh, Moon, today!
And she with her moonlike face rose earlier.
Moonlight came much before she did
and the world was dumb struck with her sight.
Her folded hands were more like lotus flowers
and she looked more pale than bright.
Why, oh, why did you rise late today, oh, Moon?
The sorrow around has made her pale.
Will she ever come again?
The Lady with the Lamp, oh, Nightingale!
