दोस्ती

ये वक़्त हमारा था
कोई हमसे इसे छीन नाही सकता

कल मुलाकात हो ना हो
ये कारवान हमसे कोई छीन नाही सकता

कुछ रिश्ते अंजाने में बन जाते है
पेहले दिल से और फिर ज़िन्दगी से जुड़ जाते है

ज़िन्दगी भले उल्जी रहे किसी अंजुमन में कल
पर यादों पे मेरी हुकूमत सदा रहेगी

बिक जाते है हर रिश्ते इस दुनिया में
पर जब तक दोस्ती ज़िंदा है
मेरे सर से मेरा आसमाँ कोई छीन नहीं सकता

Fear is Good

There is always light in the end
But we fear the barren lands

There is always light in the end
Yet we are conscious about the dark alleys

Every journey comes to an end
Either on a positive note or with a learning curve

Still we worry about the unknown
Which ruins the path as we dwell upon the destination

Fear is an essential element
For it helps us define our limits

One needs to know where to halt
For that shall save us a walk in limbo

Fear is good
It keeps you on your toes
For everything you want is on the other side of fear

Tigress

You got a problem with her
Just step aside

Don't you dare mess with her
For she'll chase and outrun you
Even in her stilettos

She chooses to stay beautiful
Inspite of those scars

Narrow minded may call her rude
Hard head with big attitude

Flaunts herself with pride
For every ounce of it, she has earned
Is painted by her tears, sweat and blood

Travelled the road less travelled
Climbed those mighty cliffs

Made her way through the dark
Without waiting for a torch or stick

So fuck the world
Those stale perspectives
Rusted chains and mundane bonds

Even if the critics rise in numbers
Keep standing for what you believe

Bitches will keep cribbing
Haters will continue hating

May you keep your head steady
And rise from the ashes, everytime, refined and strong

Is my birthday wish
To my bestest buddy
And the strongest tigress around

Just a Drop

A drop of water begins to fill the ocean

A drop of faith gives us hope to live the day

A drop of light shows us the path in dark

A drop of wisdom helps us sail through the storms

It's the small things done in big way, matters
Than waiting for a theatrical big one which never comes

Celebrate and cherish every moment of being alive
For every drop of minute turns into eternity

-SR.

Expectations

Expectations is the root cause
Still we don't give up

They hurt, sometimes with a killer blow
Still we won't budge the next time

Actions might not be wrong for you
But my expectations failed, that is only true

Words were perfect from your point of view
My expectations failed, that hurt me in the blue

Your approach was correct
Can never blame you

I should learn to expect less
To avoid getting these mighty blows

Each time I try
Still end up expecting in the next

Can't react for my foolishness in front of you
So penned my insanity to avoid any future woe

-SR.

Tomorrow never comes

Time has no resurrection
What is today, won't be the same tomorrow

Our craving for that future
Destroys many todays on the way

But that tomorrow never comes
And the loss is heavy in the bargain

Everyday is unique
Each day is precious

Why wait for tomorrow
For what you can do today

Nothing is permanent in life
Change is the only true universal law

The today which we sacrifice
Will never come tomorrow

So live every moment
Keep adding life in days

The last day won't send a postcard
Before arrival

'Least we can ensure
There's nothing to regret
When it finally comes

-SR.

Travel is Life

Travel the road less traveled
For adventures cannot be experienced behind closed doors

Travel the path unknown
As workstations won't unlock the mysteries of nature

Travel the places unexplored
Every place has it's own beauty, a place in history

Travel the route unplanned
Being organised keeps you tied, while curiosity sets you free

Every tree has a story to tell
Every fallen leaf has lesson to enlighten

Feel the wind blowing on your face
Birds chirping in the sun, stars glowing in the dark

Feel the wrath of the sun, bathe in the chilly moonlight
Hot barbeque on the grass, a sleep beneath the starry skies

Each moment of travel is worth a lifetime
For time has no resurrection, choose to wander than wonder

Ignore the world, for you deserve to be with yourself
Not to plan a move or crib on the wrong one
Just to celebrate Living and being lively

Let the curiosity to explore, breathe
Let live the adventure to wander

For travel is life
And life is to travel

-SR.

Simple Things

That which attracts your eyes
Is not always essential for living

That which captures your imagination
May not be necessary for survival

That which gives you an adrenaline rush
Won't make a difference if you don't experience it

We crave for material things
While ignore the simple ones

Hunger for temporary satisfaction
May ruin the room for future happiness

-SR.

Peace of Mind

I was missing something in life, I knew
Exactly what though could never know

There is a feeling of emptiness, can sense that
Reason for the same I couldn't decide

A nights drive made me realise
I am missing a lot while living a monotonous life

The moon, even in its half size
Never appeared so beautiful

Lying lazily on the window
And staring at the twinkling skys

Crystal clear they were
Giving way to the many stars 

Which are not visible in our polluted skies

Sound of darkness didn't create a fear

As moonlight lit our way
Chilled breeze gives you goosebumps

Can feel the blood rushing, a lively moment

Traveling through the quite road
With such starry skies above
One can experience peace of mind
In its actual sense

Adieu

Canvas is new, paint a quality picture
Opportunities are there in tons, up for the grabs

 Life is calling, Welcome it with open arms
This moment is yours, make it the very best at large

Don’t fret over petty setbacks
Don’t be anxious, if any battle you lose

As the final war is what matters in the end,
For whichever path you set afoot
You shall triumph & conquer
Is my best wish as we bid Adieu.

-SR.
