The cost of war

 The cost of war

Is not determined in the lost lives 


Niether by the numbers, missiles or the drone guides 



Not even in the reduced economy 

Or set back of country's time 


Cost of war is not even determined

By the underlying facets of shrines



The cost of war is determined 

In the spirit of a country that rise 


The women and men 

Who send their dear ones on the lines to fight



The cost of war

Comes with the families that feel the pride



The essence if revenge 

That our country alone had to survive 



So next time they tell you

It's not war but peace they want


Chant in their ears

It's not a choice but only thing to accord


Tell them it's not a choice but duty we fullfill

To hold back the pride and honour of our country strong and still




The cost of war does not come in lives

But in what remains behind the brave hearts lives



So rather than remorse or low morale

Let's build a spirit, to upheld the prides tower 



Coz war my friend is not a choice but duty

And everytime, we as citizens, shall dwell upon it without anyone being snooty !

Kami

 Kuch kami reh gayi ho gai

Mere bhi ishq mai

Jo pehle jaisi baat is rishte mai na rahi

Jo mere Ruth Jane se pareshan hone wala 

Usme meri hi gaktiyaan nikalne laga

Jo mujhe rota hua na dekh pane wale

Muje rota dekh chodh ke jane laga

Jo chodh deta tha apna sara kimti kaam muje ek baar muskurata dekh

Mere dukhi chehre ke piche chipe raaz ko nakarne laga

Kuch to kami reh gayi hogi, Mere bhi is rishte ko nibhane mai

Ki zara si hawa chalne se, neev dagmane si lagi thi

Ki is rishte ko nibhana use ek zimedari lagne lagi

Ki muskaane ho gai jhoothi, wade reh gaye peeche,

Ki bas kisi tarah se ye chupana hai, apne ko samjhane lagi

Kuch to kami Mere mai khud hi hogi, Ki farzi rishton ko mai yun apnane lagi

Nashe mai khud ko dubaane lagi

Aakhir Kuch to kami mujh mai hi rahi hogi

Kuch to kami, zaroor hi rahi hogi

Mujhme hi sahi

Wings

 Suffocating, breathless, congested , drowin

If only words could describe that sinking feeling

that one goes through 

 If only people could peep deep inside

 your head and know you arent ohk 

That the smiles are a cover up,

 the sanity is fake 

While deep down in your head, 

a trenmendous storm is churning up the sail

 Heart is burning,  but no one sees the fumes

, its all bloom outside,

 deep down is all gloom

 Alas, one day you decide,

 you cant fake it anymore 

You want to break free  throw the chains off 

You remove the rust and get rid of the chains

 But alas, your wings my dear

, had been bitten off and  trailed 

 What do you do? 

How do you fly 

 How do you stop those tears, how do you not make yourself cry

Chehre

 Jab bheed ki is basti mai 

Jab...

Kisi apne ki guhaar lagaoge

 Har ek jism ko maas ke andar

 Rooh ki jagah khokhla paoge 

Jab lagega sath denge

 wo jaane pehchane chehre

 Kya pata , tumhe barbaad kar

 Apni hi duniya baswne

 wo kisi aur sang dusri raahon se guzre

Jab laga tha ki nikal gaye us daldal se 

Kisi hath thame 

Aankh khuli to paya 

Aur gheraye mai khud hai hum dhakele 

 Bheed mai chale the

 hum dhundne wo jane pechane chehre 

Chodh ke wo humkohaage badhe, 

aur hum reh gaya Yun hi tanha waha there......

Fake

 The chirps die the day

When the listners ability to listen fade away

The smiles become fake

Probably coz relationships loose their deep rooted viens

The thoughts are blocked, conversations fade

Why dont we realize, in all this hustle

Our true emotions run away

Meeting , greeting, becomes part of just another day

Things don't excite you, probably coz expectations are way too grave

What do u do when something like this occurs

When there's no one to hear, but a head that has so much to say !!


A mind so strained, vivid and swayed

Yet u smile, and smile to say it's all ohk ! 

U keep that head high, and sparkle theway  more bright

Coz at times probably , you have nothing more to say 

A head full of thoughts, a love stronger n way stronger bond they say

But again and again u think the other way

Is it what u expected things will fall in place ?

A bitter piece lies up in the sugary sweet ray

I'm so worked up with this head full, and of things things that remained unsaid

Still I gotta smile, stay that sane and straight 

Probably they won't get it 

They don't understand the change 

Probably this too, has become fake

The the smile I done, probably this too has become fake !!

Rooh

 Rooh dekhi hai kabhi

Chaand ke sire se nikalte huye 

Rooh dekhi hai kabhi

Yun hi baarish ke baadlo mai machalte huye

Kabhi tanha khamoshiyon ki guftagu mai uljhi 

kabhi chidhiyaa ki tarah chehekti wo phirti 

To kabhi khamoshiyon ki hawa se ladti rehti



Rooh dekhi hai kabhi

Kisi ke intezaar mai arse bitate huye

Rooh dekhi hai kabhi

Kisi ke khwaabo mai apna ghar basaate huye 

Kabhi sawere si tez roshni wo bikherti rehti

To kabhi raat ke seene mai Mayus yunhi doobi rehti


Rooh dekhi hai kabhi..... !

That moment !!

 The moment you stop comparing with others

Life becomes easy

The moment you decide what others do won’t affect you anyways 

Life becomes better

The moment you know that troubling others won’t get you peace

Life gets marvellous 

The moment you know that you are the secret of your happiness 

Life turns into an ecstasy 

The moment you realise that the peace you’ve been searching around for in the entire world , is right there within you

Life becomes a chant in itself 

The moment you realise that your growth lies in becoming your better version rather than in pulling down others

There’s no turning back then 

The moment you know that more people liking you just on your face isn’t what you want

Meaning of life changes to self !

Life is way beyond bitching, peeping through the cracks in others walls, defaming, stalking, copying or maybe trapping people in your sweet words

Life lies in making things around you flourish, it’s about helping thr needy to grow

It’s about becoming the better version of yourself everyday

Growing your knowledge and wisdom each day 

Coz my love, in life , a beautiful face and sweet talks won’t take you as far as a brave heart and strong mind will

Seek what are and what better you yourself can be and see yourself flourish, see yourself grow
