Loneliness…

Some days 

you find yourself alone 

even when surrounded by people 

coz they hardly pierce the veil 

that you hide behind, 

you want them to look beyond that veil 

where you really hide, 

coz you’ve tried on your own 

to pierce that veil 

but cant.. 

 

Some nights 

you find yourself alone 

no one around 

in the darkness that wraps the night, 

and you long for someone… 

not coz you want to talk to them 

not coz you want them to talk to you.. 

but you long for someone 

just to be there, by your side 

without talking, 

without even touching 

or holding a hand, 

just their presence… 

just their silent presence… 

that they are beside you, near you 

that you are not alone 

in the silent darkness.. 

 

Days and such nights pass by, 

the longing waxes and wanes, 

sometimes you get so tired of people

you long to be alone..

and on being too much alone,

you long for the presence of someone

to be just there…

 

But does this loneliness ever end?

(Mitra – Band Baaja Baaraat)

 

Raaston mein kho gaya hai mitra..
ajnabi kyon ho gaya hai mitra..
Kuch to kami hai sawan,
sawan-sa kyon na lage mitra..

Shamo seher kyon mann ka
aangan ye soona lage, mitra..
Dhoop leke jo gaya hai mitra..
Ajnabi kyon ho gaya hai mitra..

 

 

Dil ke taaron mein
kyon hazaaron mein, dard jaage hai…
Humne baandhe jo
reshmi saare, toote dhaage hain..
Birha to ye harjana hai
humko ada kar jana hai..
Sirf yaadon ka taana-baana hai,
na chupana hai..
Haal-e-dil jo ho gaya hai, mitra..
Ajnabi kyon ho gaya hai mitra..

Kuch to kami hai sawan,
sawan-sa kyon na lage mitra..
