You

Raw..unfiltered..bare face

Messy..tangled..unkept hair

Well, this is me most of the time,

But what you see is a different story.

The pictures you see, are not real,

But that’s okay, everyone is edited!

After all, what is the use of technology,

If we don’t use it?

The point is, both versions are meant to be loved.

The one in the picture,

And the one before the picture!

Don’t have a jaw line, that’s fine.

A double chin is not a crime!

Slim is beauty? Ok agreed.

Now you must agree,

The fat is not any less beauty!

Magazine covers can be inspiration,

But never self criticize after seeing them.

My dear, life is the same for everyone.

I have struggles, you have struggles,

We are all the same.

At the end only a little will matter.

Life is now, in this moment.

So eat that sweet your mom made,

Wear that dress you always wanted.

Celebrate your existence, love yourself,

Everything started from you, 

Everything will end in YOU!

Colorful Times

Is the night sky colorful or my eyes are bright?
The world around appears to be full of light.
Things which were once lifeless
Are alive now like they were never dead.

Hand in hand when we walk,
Together the journey is never tiring.
That is the magic happening here.
I became his and he became mine.

We make opinions and live by them.
Right or wrong we often don't bother.
And when someone dares to change it,
We realize how better life can become.

Let go the bad folks.
Let in the good ones.
And then even without the rains,
There will be rainbows above..!!

Hope

Though I live in a land of mud
My dreams are not less than diamonds!
I am a glimpse of an angel
Who exist in her own heaven.

They say we are just humans.
But I believe, humans are supreme.
Why should I walk when I can fly.
Live in a palanquin before you die.

Shimmering hope clears the destiny.
Walk on the path which you can see.
How far can you go for a single smile?
I don't mind traveling hundred miles!

Hoist your opinions as high as you can.
They solely makes you who you are.
Why someone's shadow when you can cast your own?
Go ahead its your life.

A Tribute to the Children of Pakistan.. Peshawar Attack..

Rooti huyi mili kuch gudiyan mujh ko..
Apni saheli se bichadne ka dard tha us mein..
Bikhri huyi mili kuch kitabein mujh ko..
Adhoori taleem ka afsoos tha un mein..
Barfile mausam mein ho rahi thi barsaat..
Kayi aankhon ka armaan jo phigal raha tha..
Jis raah par hoti thi shararetin bahut..
Ab waha se sirf siskiyan sunayi deti hain..
Us mulk ke ham nahin par woh bacche hamare hain..
Woh jazbaat bhi hamare hain woh halaat bhi hamare hain..
Ye masla na kafir ka hain na musalmaan ka hain..
Ye masla insaaniyat ka hain ye masla insaan ka hain..!!

Woh jisne bigad diya hain watan ka mustakbil..
Kya banayega woh apne aaj ko ?
Woh jisne mita diya shehar bhar ki roshni..
Raat ke andhere mein kaise sota hoga ?
Jo kho jata hain woh intekaam lene se milta agar..
Tho shouk se nikal pado inquilab keh kar..
Khoon karne se agar sukoon milta hain..
Ab tak aaabad hogaya hota ye jahan saara..
Us shehar ke ham nahin par woh log hamare hain..
Woh azaab bhi hamara hain woh sawaal bhi hamara hain..
Ye masla na kafir ka hain na musalmaan ka hain..
Ye masla insaaniyat ka hain ye masla insaan ka hain..!!

A New Love Life

When all my days shall come to an end,
I will spend the last seconds thinking about you.
Do come back for the final goodbye,
Do farewell me with a last hug.

I had walked out so many times,
Even though I always wanted to stay.
Letting go happens only in love,
Because prior isn't us its the one we love.
 
Don't be sorry, stand up straight.
I want to see you shining out there.
So that when I reach the heavens,
I can show them the angel of my world.

Lets hope for a life again.
Lets pray for a second birth.
Meet me there with all your heart,
And lets fall in love for once again!

Burning Love

If I was the pebble in your way..
When I moved out why didn't u walk ?
You said you have a ocean of your own..
Then why is the fire burning out there ?

You had wings, you could fly..
You cut them off now why cry ?
You said you have a shore of your own..
Then why do I find you drowning in the sea ?

If I was the reason for all the mess
When I cleared things why are you in chaos ?
You said you have a sky of your own..
Then why do I find you walking in the sand ?

I wasn't the thorn of your garden..
The flowers never existed to blossom..
You said you have a realm of your own..
Then why do I find you wandering in the streets ?

You had a path which lead nowhere..
The journey wasn't worthy at all...
Destiny is never gifted to anyone..
You need to get it by yourself..

The obstacle of your life wasn't love..
It was the hatred that existed in you..
Love never sheds it always grow..
Even though you try to cut the roots..

Unseen Love

As the falling snow faded the evening
He walked away down the lane.
All that I can recollect today,
Is the final goodbye that he waved.

It wasn't the love that went wrong,
The time itself wasn't right.
Some people love to get together,
And some get together to leave forever.

Compulsions of life killed many love.
Some given reasons and some just left.
He is unaware of what I am going through,
Though I always wanted him to know.

Lost love is agony,
Broken love is tragic.
But there is something more insane,
Its the love which goes totally unseen.

Regrets

Far from the past today in the present
When I turn back the pages of yesteryear's
Chapters are incomplete with half written stories
The pages are filled with unexpressed emotions..

I could have laughed a little more
I could have cried out my heart
I could have loved more intensely
And the list of regrets goes on and on..

Those people whom I loved once
Are no more the characters of my story
When they were mine I wasn't theirs
Today I am theirs but they aren't mine..

Over the years the time shown me
Life is now there is no then
Never cage the heart you have got
Free it, let the soul fly!

Waving Evening

Birds flew back from a tiring day

The breeze all set to freeze the time
Sea awaits the sun to drown
And the evening is slowly waving down

Memories are running through my veins
Picking up the moments from the past again
To the rising moon is all I owe
It knows how much tears I shed then and now

Fading light dims the way
The lamp of secrets illuminates the street
Bundles of papers yet to be opened
Incomplete stories now to be written

Sitting beside my window grills
I welcome the night coming to me
Remembering the elapsed dreams of yesteryear's
I rest back on the pillow with silent tears!

How Far Can I Go ?

How far can I go to live for once ?
Behind the mountains, over the oceans or above the clouds.
There is one breath that I hold upon
The rest is less the rest is agony.

Moonlight enters through my broken window
My nights aren't dark but my thoughts are.
Why should I weep when I can cherish ?
Lets not get puzzled and solve the chaos.

I live in a realm that I own
Let me rule it not someone else.
Scorched heat can break my skin,
But not my soul or my heart.

Desperate emotions dwindle happiness
Lets have faith in destinies suspense.
Be a magician and shock the life,
Let the applause of the almighty keep the show on !

Misty Morning

And a day is up with misty morning..
Me and my past are cuddling again..
Rays of hope screaming loud..
Hey soul, step out of the worldly pain..

Moving the curtains of flickering thoughts..
I'm trying to fix my mind at one spot..
Its your fate you must live it..
No matter what you gain or what you have lost..

Walk away when the past is melting..
There will be ways, just move..
Sip on joy and nourish yourself..
You have the time now, just pursue..

A dew of last night fell on me..
It made me clean like a all new sky..
Pleasures are abundant just find them..
Live now may be next is your turn to die..

Ho Sake Tho Laut Jao

Ho sake tho laut jao..
Yaadon ke kohre kabhi kabhi rooh ko chupa dete hain
Dil ka mausam bigaad dete hain
Uss kohre ko hatakar dekh lena aage ki dagar
Sab mein kahan hoti hain aisi nazar
Tujhe saaf waadiyon mein rehne ki aadat hain
Badalte hawaon ko seh na paayega
Ho sake tho laut jao..

Main ek sammandar hoon bahut gehra sa
Tere andar aag jitna bhi ho
Mumkin nahin mujhe jala dena
Sahil par rehkar mehsoos kar lena mujhe
Utar na jana mujh mein, lehrein dara denge tujh ko
Jahazon mein sair kiye ho ab tak
Kasti ka safar tere bas ka nahin
Ho sake tho laut jao..

Meri Majbooriyon Ko Tu Mohabbat Na Samajna

Meri majbooriyon ko tu mohabbat na samajna
Main nastik hoon mere sajde ko ibadat na samajna

Ye zaroori tho nahin ki jo tu kahe wohi main kahun
Apna nazariya rakhti hoon ise bagawat na samajhna

Mustakbil mein khushiya ho isliye aaj thoda rulati hoon
Meri iss sakti ho tu nafrat na samajna

Tu mehfoos rahe isliye teri dushmaon se dosti hain
Meri iss kamzori ko tu chahat na samajna

Mushkilon ne choda nahin maine use apna liya
Mere jhoot moot ke hasne ko tu rahat na samajna

Ye tera karz tha tujhe hi chukana tha
Agar mera mizaj badal gaya tho inayat na samajna

Kisi ko harane ke liye nahin khud ko jitane ke liye jeeyo
Ye zindagi hain isko siyasat na samajna

Teri hukumat tere shehar men khoob chalti hogi
Ye mera ghar hain isko apni riyasat na samajna

Ranjishon se darti nahin bas chahat nahin hain uski
Aksar sar jhukathi hoon ise nazakat na samajna..

Woh Ek Pal Mein Sadiyan Milti Hain

Woh ek pal mein sadiyan milti hain
Kya batau mohabbat mein kitni khushiyan milti hain

Bichde huye aashiq itni betaabi se milte hain
Jaise samandar mein aakar nadiyan milti hain

Log chod dete hain hum apne saath rehte hain
Koyi akela nahin hota sab mein parchaiyan milti hain

Khud par bharosa karo ya khuda par bharosa karo
Har kisi par yakeen karne se ruswayian milti hain

Tabahi ka zimmedar kabhi muqaddar nahin hota
Kisi aur ke bharose jeeoge tho tanhaiyan milti hain

Chod tho hum dete hain zindagi saath nibhathi hain
Jeene ki wajah nahin tho jeene ki majbooriyan milti hain

Sau baar padhoge tho ek lafz samjhoge
Zindagi ki har panne mein duswariyan milti hain

Waqt ki raftaar se jo aage nikal jaata hain
Aksar unhi mein kamyabi ki kahaniyan milti hain..

Khud Ko Akela Chod Nahin Sakta

Khud ko akela chod nahin sakta, kisi ka kabhi ho nahin sakta
Main lakh khosish karta hoon magar mohabbat dobara ho nahin sakta

Mohabbat chup jati hain nafrat dikh jata hain
Aisi nigahon se bharosa kabhi ho nahin sakta

Zindagi ki har mod par insaan khushi dhoondtha hain
Wo nahin samajta ki har gulshan mein gulab ho nahin sakta

Rishton ki ahmiyat ko koyi naap nahin sakta
Ye samandar hain iss mein paani kam ho nahin sakta

Maikhane se zyada madhoshi dilon mein hoti hain
Mohabbat se zyada nasha sharab mein ho nahin sakta

Chahe mandir mein milta ho chahe mazjid mein milta ho
Khuda ek hain doosra ho nahin sakta

Ye afsana hain haqeekat tho woh tha
Main bhool gaya ki mohabbat dobara ho nahin sakta

Gamo ke barabar mein khushiyan milti hain
Zindagi ki tarazu mein kuch kam kuch zyada ho nahin sakta

Ye haseen zindagi hain ise do pal rone do
Pathjhad mein barish der tak ho nahin sakta

Jitna tumse ut tha hain utna hi boj milta hain
Khuda kabhi kisi se beimaan ho nahin sakta..

In Nigahon Ka Deedar Kuch Der Karne Do

A Walk In Search Of A Broken Kite

When lost in the jungle of the past
My eyes were in search of the light
Path of regret and foot of fear
A walk in search of a broken kite.

It flew high it, got stuck
It rose again, it flew again
Either the wind could stop nor my hands
Mine was the game and the gain.

The sun got set and the clouds turned black
All of a sudden there was rain
It was hard to decide further
At once my kite lost in vain.

How can I sleep with lost dreams ?
Exhausted hopes shattered me.
Soul lost once is lost forever
From where will I find a all new me ?
