सोहबत

उसकी सोहबत सस्ती तो नहीं,
मेरी मुहब्बत जबर्ज़स्ती तो नहीं !

उसका अहसास सजदा है लेकिन,
उसकी इबादत, बुतपरस्ती तो नहीं !

उसका इनकार है नेमत की तरह,
पर इकरार की मेरी हस्ती तो नहीं !

मुमकिन है मुलाक़ात ख्यालों में, इसलिए
दीदार को आँखें तरसती तो नहीं !

इनायात होगी "साबिर", नाराज़गी के बाद,
बिना गरजे घटा, बरसती तो नहीं !!

Boys can't cry ?

Punished for the mistakes that I never did,

And yes, I am the smaller god's kid,

Still I can't cry, because I am a boy ?

Cheated by the best of friends,

Yes I could never follow the trends,

Still I can't cry, because I am a boy ?

Was a curse because I am talented,

And that's the only reason, I was rejected ?

Still I can't cry, because I am a boy ?

Could never fly as I never had wings,

Gifted with ability to mess up simple things,

Still I can't cry, because I am a boy ?

Never knew reason of exactly what happened,

All I know is that my last words were unheard,

Still I can't cry, because I am a boy ?

FRIENDS !!

Like an oasis in the desert,
Their presence heals the hurt.

As the stars illuminate in the sky,
They are always there, don't know why.

But I know that they are always there,
And I have many concerns to share.

The destination and journey both are bound,
But blessed to have these angels around.

They are with you when you break the trends,
And no wonder they are called "Friends" !!
