One More Light

क्षितिज के किनारे खो गया हू मै खुदा  ज़िन्दगी के मंजिल की राह अब तो बता  खोजते खोजते कहीं खो न दु हौसला  बेवफा, अब तो मुझे अपने आप से मिला

"What is it with you and the rocking chair? Why don't you like the chair anymore?" She asks again "I can't tell you, you wouldn't know" "If only the world could see what I Could Maybe then would've they known Where all their missing socks go Where all their misplaced pens go, Little did I know How getting lost in the deserted stuff Would cause so much of chaos I never wanted to be haunted by anything Just take me back to the road back home" "But daughter you have to tell me who it is that scares you I'll ask him to go away from here Will that help you overcome your fear?" "Mom it's him, it's always him, The one who stops rocking as soon as I come in The one who smiles only at me The one who talks to me like I do The one who is standing on the doll you hate too" "Who is it my daughter? Whom do i hate? Tell me girl, who is it Being scared is not your fate" "Honey, you...

Just because I don't show my feelings Doesn't mean I don't have them Just because I listen to cheerful songs Doesn't mean I don't sing sad ones Just because I cover my dark circles with a blinking eye Doesn't mean I don't have them Just because I cover my bruises with a cloth Doesn't mean I don't have them Just because I don't say it loud Doesn't mean I'm not frustrated Just because I'm not going to show this to anyone Doesn't mean it was never here.

Playing victim How easy it is Always showing how you got hurt Always showing others how HE hurt you Shifting blame on someone else, Off your shoulders, Not caring how the other one felt How he crippled and cracked and then…. Well then he burst Burst to bomb away all the dirt, all the weight, all the toxications Away, away from his life, away from his choices Away from his decisions, away from his happiness Away from his smile. So now he smiles Turned tables haven’t we? I don’t feel guilty anymore maybe that’s why you feel I’m sly, Never saw me without it, rather never let me live without it But yeah, You can pretend all you want Because I don’t need to anymore I don’t need to pretend to be happy anymore Because, I am smiling With all of myself.

A sparrow came and sat by my window, Do you have a letter from my love? I haven’t heard from her since quite a time now. Will you tell me how she is? The sparrow smiled, but did nothing. I searched ever part of it for the smallest bit of paper, Paper which would bring life to my day, Paper with her smell of love and letters of care, But, I found nothing. Didn’t she write anything? The sparrow did nothing, but smiled again. I got sad Maybe I wouldn’t hear from her today. But Wait, how can I see the smile? What’s glowing in his eyes? Why is it so comforting to me? Then it struck upon me, “Tell her that I love her too”, The words came out. And then, Done with his job, He pecked my finger, And went away, Flying high back to where he came from, He gave me my message And my heart too.
