~~~...I rage...~~~

I rage

I rage on

ज़मीन से आसमां तलक एक झलक

की तलाश में यह रूह भटकती है

I give

I give up

I try

I try hard

I live

I live now

I cry

I cry alone

I rage

I rage on

कुछ ज़ुबान की खूभी है

कुछ अदा की शोखी है

I hit

I hit myself

I cut

I cut deep

I fly

I fly away

I laugh

I laugh hysterically

I rage

I rage on

एक आग का दरिया था

डूबने का था मेरा इरादा

I swim

I swim through

I erase

I erase memories

I lie

I lie often

I talk

I talk nonsense

I rage

I rage on

यह एक झूठ नहीं था बस में तुम्हारे, क्यूँ?

बाकी ज़िन्दगी भले ही झूठ पर टिकी हो

I loved

I loved you

I desired

I desired company

I realize

I realize defeat

I still

I still rage

I rage

I rage on

किस्सा-ऐ-'विती' ठहर जाता है यहीं देखो

जैसे अधूरी किताब छोड़ गया है शायर...

I rage

I rage on.

~~~...insane i am/i am insane...~~~

four doors and a window.

no walls, no floor.

bed on the roof.

my house; the city of nothing.

light comes and goes.

when 'noor' shines,

darkness prevails.

insane i am

i am insane

birds flying backwards.

there, green hued sky

thats your revenge

for the days of the moon?

an inch of kohl black ice.

control loses balance

eyes open wide.

insane i am

i am insane

courage lost in jungle.

hoopoe hoops hoopla.

happy hoopla hoopoe?

gone before left. left?

autumn sun muses now

gold shines silver here.

'viti' love stamps itself.

insane i am

i am insane

~~~...Nothing will change...~~~

Independence and dignity, 
Two things I adore, I apply.
I will give them up for you.


I won't get a chance though.
You are self-sufficient, free
With no needs, no desires.


Here I am dying for a glance.
There you are, so beautiful,
As ever. Out of reach, range.


I will never give up.  Never.
Nothing wrong in loving.
Without limits or deliberation.


"A rose is a rose is a rose."
You are you.  I am me.
Nothing will change. Ever.

~~~...Till eternity ends...~~~

what use is my life if i dont like to live it?

what use is it if i dont care anymore for anything?

what if there is not even a desire to make it better?

what if all i want is love and nothing else comes close?

i have ceased to exist by myself.

i have given up on you. or have i?

there are birds that call into the silent night,

waiting for the morning to come so they can fly.

look at flowers that are about to burst open,

but dont; they want the sun to open them.

what if the morning decides not to show up?

what if the sun, covered with clouds, just sleeps?

the birds will still be chirping into the darkness.

the flowers will be poised to bloom until they wilt.

what if the love never comes knocking to you?

what if you fail to realize that you are the 'Noor'?

If she is not fortunate enough to love you someday,

'Viti' will then be waiting for you till eternity ends.

~~~...Ulfat ki nazakat dekho...~~~

aaj baazaar mein kaise bikti hai mohabbat dekho

dekho aalam aur phir meri ulfat ki nazakat dekho

mujh sa aashiq tum dhoondh sako to dhoondh lena

dua hai uski baaton mein mujh si sharaarat dekho

chaahne waale tumhaare husn ke to bahut milenge

rooh mein basaane mein ho na use koi aafat dekho

meri panah mein tumhe na mil saka sukoon kabhi

uske baazu mein ho tumko thaamne ki taakat dekho

taraana-e-'Noor' to har roz hi sunayi dega duniya ko

ibaadat-e-'Viti' ka yahan hoga har koi kaayal dekho...

~~~...Khwaish hai...~~~

mukammal tum meri ho jao, khwaish hai
har dum bas mujhe tadpao, khwaish hai
shikan dikhe kabhi mere bistar par 'Noor'
dekh kar use tum yaad aao, khwaish hai
jo uthe lab mere muskurahat ko god lene
unke sang tum bhi khilkhilao, khwaish hai
taraana jo sunun kabhi naseem ka main
hoothon se tum chhoo jao, khwaish hai
rukh-e-siraaj par jo koi abr gesoo sa ho
usko lamha-e-'Viti' kar jao, khwaish hai
