The Race Against Time...

The world so cold..

2012-01-22T07:07:00.000-08:00

Am writing with my hands open,

Sniffing on a sleet..

Tuned to Death Cab,

Shenanigans and deceit..

As the season drops,

and the blood clogs,

Hear,this heart sink,

Baffled in dinge..

A feast outside the dark,

awaits, miles apart,

Cross your fingers,

Ready, to see the spark..?

Set the circus on fire,

Burn the Humongous heap,

Put your new shoes on,

It's time to leave..

Oshan..

She

2012-01-01T09:03:00.000-08:00

She withered with the strands of time,

She disappeared with the pouring wine,

She discolored the dwindling chime,

She is entangled, in her own crime,

She seldom believes, in cloud nine...

Boxes,she tries to open,

Of hearts over spoken,

For once, she should hear,

That life, isn't a tear..

Some souls are rake,

Not her mistake..

For, she forgot,

That the world knows no chains,

She is ready to jump,

But dreads the stains..

And, she withered,

Not in my dreams,

But, in the pictures she drew..

Oshan..

Race Again..

2011-11-28T09:28:00.000-08:00

Life's not a ride,

It's just a race,

All you really need,

is to match this pace..

It isn't hollow anymore,

It's full of grime,

Affections an old story,

Theirs consolation in crime..

And there's a world to share,

About things we don't care..

Like erstwhile recessions,

And hidden confessions..

All we need,

is A purpose sought,

To achieve someones destiny,

At any cost..

Oshan..

Do Jahaan

2011-10-16T08:34:00.000-07:00

Kahin dekh raha tha woh bhi,

sarhad uss neele aasma ki..

Kahin chipi thi umang

uske dil mein bhi,

tarango ko chune ki..

Kahin hai usse bhi ummeed,

Ik sapna sajaane ki..

Kahin hai masti bhari,

Ada mein uss zamaane ki..

Haan wahi dekh raha tha main,

uss sarhad se paar...

Yahan sab hai,

par ummeed nahin..

Yahan rang hai,

par preet nahin..

Yahan khushi hai,

par sangeet nahin..

Yahan bhakti hai,

par santosh nahin..

Oshan..

A loners story...

2011-10-08T08:23:00.000-07:00

The day drains,

Into the night..

The stars fade away,

But he is left behind..

He was there,

when they cried,

He was there,

when in need..

He was there,

when they smiled,

He was there,

when they believed..

As darkness evades,

And eyes sere,

A hearts always open,

Listening to your fears..

When you walk a mile,

And hear a sound,

It's his footsteps,

Lonely and profound..

Oshan..

Killing in the name

2011-06-28T00:55:00.000-07:00

As a ray gleams,

Amidst the rain,

I pen for all reason,

Evolved in vain…

At ease, we kill,

The contemporary sane,

Follow a god,

Assert his blames…

The philosophy of numb,

Rotting our roots,

We are dead inside,

Still, living with these shoes…

A voice within,

Urges to discover,

A change rational,

A world unconventional..

Oshan..

A leap of faith

2011-04-14T17:39:00.000-07:00

Thou who gave darkness,

Shall give the light...

He who preached disbelief,

Shall know no heart,

No heart to reside...

Thou who gave chains,

Shall set the world free...

He who led monarch,

Shall follow a path,

The path to Thee.

He who loathes fear,

Shall find peace in pain,

He, who sacrificed,

Shall gleam with truth...

Thou who made us all,

Asks for a leap of faith...

Oshan..

Assassination

2011-03-24T12:18:00.000-07:00

.
Here's the night to let go,
Things we seldom show,
Threads that die broken,
And people we don't know..

Here's the time to isolate,
End the roman assassination,
To forget the unspoken,
Step ahead and procreate..

Here I see a city,
Rich enough to shade,
A path err swallowed,
And dues over payed..

Here a star is rising,
In the light of the dark,
A colour deep under,
Waiting for a spark..

Oshan..

Stop & Stare

2011-01-27T13:18:00.000-08:00

Losing the technique
Finding it hard to speak
Words on the floor
Phobia back to fore

Its a drawn evaluation
An unjust inflation
Thoughts that part the core
And a lost destination

Is it a perfect circle?
Or a zero that floats
At corners of a lifetime
Judges an evil report

The fluid isn't a ring
Thirsty sparklers
Just don't sink
So are you ready
For another drink?

Oshan..

Isolation

2011-01-21T23:42:00.001-08:00

Isolation has no nation
Its my only destination
I like these cages
Walls built through ages
Here I feel all alone
And happy unknown..

Isolation is the key
My only destiny
There's no winter,
No summer..
No blues,
no murmur..

Isolation is a world,
Where nothings absurd..
I believe it's sane,
Where truth isn't plain..
Where hidden has no meanings,
And meaning has no name..

If you feel free,
And wise by a song..
If ideas deranged you,
Moved you for long,
Lock these doors..
And sing along..

Oshan..

The beginning

2010-12-31T23:36:00.000-08:00

.
I see my shadow,
in the morning sun,
as i walk those lanes,
where I started with none...

A river of dreams,
in those sparkling eyes,
And the urge to fly,
in the beaming skies..

This new light,
Awakens a hope within..
will these colors of fall,
swallow all my sins?

I see a new beginning,
I see the dancing birds,
I see a tomorrow caling,
A Life,beyond words..

Oshan..

Strings..

2010-12-15T08:40:00.000-08:00

In my ideas,
I'm dying to sunk,
The world isn't mine
And I'm drunk..

On the other end,
The stars shine deep,
and I can't remember
The price of dreams..

As we grow up,
We love the insane,
We strive for it's worth,
But life isn't plain..

For all good times,
I do believe,
Someone in some corner,
Will share my belief..

The ground is rusting,
And scars on a high,
Now I wander,
All strings are a lie..

Oshan..

Andaaz

2010-12-10T11:50:00.000-08:00

silsila yeh chal raha,

aankh hai nazar bandh,

jud raha hai fir jaane,

naajane kaisa sambandh...

hain door chalein jitna,

aa rahe tum utne paas,

kya likha inn haathoin mein,

kab khul jaye yeh raaz..

silsila yeh chal raha,

zarra zarra kare awaaz,

hain lafz yeh kaise,

hamm keh na payein aaj..

hain paas aaj itne,

ki tham gaya har saaz,

nahin dooriyon mein kahin,

jeene ka andaaz..

Oshan..

The Battle..

2010-11-25T07:35:00.000-08:00

It’s a circle

Ice and dust,

And rings that rust,

A human far tired,

On holding,

What he must...

It’s a war,

To save the river,

Clouded from the sea,

A soul rolling back,

To unfold,

The mystery...

It’s a song,

He never sung,

And lines, unread,

A mind of broken words,

Submerged,

To this set...

Oshan..

All Apologies

2010-11-12T11:51:00.000-08:00

As the winter darkens the sky,

A part within me,

Shivers without a cry...

The sun once again,

Has lost his brew,

Here, in my eyes,

I see the past, due...

The world’s still the same,

A vision deranged,

Those faces stay same,

Some meanings, changed...

The pictures are perfect,

But perfect, scarcely true,

I see, what I did,

What I’ve done to you...

When a bird, half dead,

Doesn’t fail to try,

Why won’t I be?

A word that doesn’t lie,

If yesterday wasn’t yours,

And tomorrow hurts you,

My apologies,

Are for you...

Oshan...

The Kill..

2010-10-06T11:23:00.000-07:00

.
How far have we come..?
And, how far shall we go..?
Did you think about me?
When you decided to let go.

Why did we ever meet...?
And how, we fell apart..?
Do you remember those last words..?
The era, heart to heart...

Do you feel the distance..?
Time, you and me...
Who is to blame..?
For pricks, we failed to see...

And,
Do you feel the way..?
The way I do, everyday...
Will you play your part..?
When destiny kills the dart...

Oshan...

Disbelief..

2010-09-04T07:20:00.000-07:00

As the song,

succumbs the sea,

With each new day,

breeds the urge,

of believing the unsaid..

The belief to believe,

a spring of bad memories,

shall encircle thou fate,

who gave their best.

had a life,invest..

behold these lines,

as belief dies thirsty,

The world shall smile,

when you are down..

love will fade,

when the glaze will glare..

A friend will escape,

As the stars die out..

and,

will they be here to cry ,

when life flares..

Oshan..

Turn around..

2010-08-14T11:39:00.000-07:00

This summer,

has taken a turn.

On the edge,

and time to learn,

from the years,

when they bled,

from the eyes,

that turned red..

Like eagles,

you did follow.

bodies,

dead and hollow.

Take a picture,

conceal those letters.

It's sane to apologize,

when life scatters..

turn around,

there's no missing link.

when you loved her,

she covered the ink..

was anyone dead..?

in the hirarchy,

of slaughters..

the time is not,

to blame your author...

Oshan..

Khwaish

2010-08-07T06:15:00.000-07:00

Yeh khawish he to hai

sirf tumhe paane ki

fir ik din,tum sang

muskuraane ki..

yeh yaad he to hai..

jo har peher chali aati hai,

kabhi baat nahin karte hamm,

par baatoin mein,

kho jaati hai..

yeh dil hai ki nahin,

jo tumse rubaru karta hai,

ik pal yahan hai,

agle pal chal padta hai..

Yeh shaam hai wahi,

fir tumhe chahne ki,

fir unn raston par chalkar,

zindagi beetane ki..

Oshan..

Death

2010-08-07T06:08:00.000-07:00

The parity of illness

knows no freedom of the shore

it's in your mind

your mind is the whore..

you seek for life

i'd like that too

you shiver for love

might blind me too..

you seize that gift

or let it through

one,light the fire

two,take me on a ride..

three,riddle my destiny,

four,drop me from the sky..

i miss the fear,

fear of pain..

and whatever you see..

isnt that plain...

The world stands blank,

the heart is grieved..

i pray for a soul,

may rest in peace...

Oshan..

Alvida

Ye safar,
Fir lega ik modd naya,
Hoga kahin to,
Mera bhi aasma..
Rakhlenge kahin chupakar,
Dil ki yeh dastaan..
Azmayenge jab bhi hamm,
Rasta yeh naya..

Chal pade hamm,
Manzil se door..
Yaadoin ke sang,
Baatoin se door..
Kar sakein to fir,
Afsaana ik bayaan,
Dhunde hai zindagi,
Manzar ik naya

Kal na jaane,
Honge fir hamm..
Door tere ghar se,
Door iss nagar se,
Atoot bhi to nahin,
Rishton ki dhun,
Bhool na jaana,
Hamein kahin tum..

Oshan..

Survivor..

2010-07-31T13:22:00.000-07:00

A cocktail of random losses,
And a man to drink it in..
Rush hours to survival,
And the urge to fit in..

Early are his mornings,
And crazy late nights,
Works through every go..
leaving traces behind..

a burnt wick,
Lights cigarettes for kick..
Emotion without names,
High on flames..

Irony in every breath,
A world he lead,
Glutted with people insane,
Driving false claims..

Oshan..

Story of a Lifetime..

2010-06-17T15:09:00.000-07:00

The mind may,

but this heart doesn't,

forgets the past..

The sky be clear,

but deep within..

memories never last..

The smile she had,

the glee on her face,

the one i loved,

one of a race..

The slap 'we' shared,

then i never cared..

It's not just love,

It's the life we make..

Sometimes we're friends,

and sometimes fake..

Times,we live,

but life's no cake..

A piece of work,

gets here engraved,

Often unsaid,

We search for mistakes..

as,the mind may,

but the heart never forgives..

Oshan..

The beautiful mind..

2010-06-10T13:01:00.000-07:00

if only it is,

off the signals,they send..

when time rolls down,

and the mind blends..

open thy heart,

and darken your eyes,

as beauty may astonish,

only the beautiful mind..

as the air stands still,

and you want to go back..

open your window,

riches do not go rag..

when you wake up,

be that light,

that enlightens there day,

when the star go bright..

Oshan..

ode

2010-06-03T12:59:00.000-07:00

As the summer loses its skies,

beholds the spirited lies..

the essence ,it overflows,

sour to taste,sweet to show..

Clamps, in my head,

reminds me, how we met..

but, findings at the store,

makes me want, no more..

Now the clouds,

play their game,

as they crash,

we'll feel the pain..

when it thunders,

we'll become insane..

when they pour,

we'll shed aswell..

and, when it dries,

winter, will put us to hell..

Oshan..

The system..

2010-05-28T13:33:00.000-07:00

A dearth of feelings,

an urge to surpress..

a theme often said,

a little less expressed..

Where lies the truth..?

It's hidden behind the bars,

Shattered by democracy,

rusted by scars..

where lies the wisdom..?

Did dollar gulp it down..?

If mighty had no color,

Then,why white is to brown..?

and,How did they kill..?

The innocence of life,

How can customs decide,

the fate of a chid..?

A system of evil,

Taken enough toll,

In this warfare for freedom,

Death will take us all..

Oshan..

Pal

2010-05-28T12:30:00.000-07:00

Pal pal se bana lamha,
Lamhon se bani yadein,
Har pal hai aaj,
Ehsaas tumhara he,
wahi tumhari baatein..

Pal pal ham likhte hain,
Har lamha ham rahi,
Har pal sath chalein,
Banke ik duje ki parchai..

Pal pal ho tumse pyar,
Har lamha rahe intezaar,
Nazrein uthe to aao nazar,
Nazrein jhuke to hojaye seher,
Dhadkan rahe bekaraar,
Aisa ho apna pyaar..

Oshan..

If

2010-05-19T14:17:00.000-07:00

If i could,I would,

sell this world,

for love and fame..

climb so high,

and feel no pain..

dive so deep,

only the earth would see..

live life large,

set and free..

If i could,I would,

get high on marijuana,

and drink all day..

ride all night,

and chill this way..

get,all those bands,

make music,my own..

Go back in time,

when i feel so grown..

If i could,I would,

say what i feel,

and leave no scar..

do what i feel,

with no fucking bars..

have what i like,

with no conditional stars..

see,what they have not made,

To your life and ours..

BUT,I'm Satisfied..

AND,That wasn't the plan..

Oshan..

The unusual..

2010-04-20T12:57:00.001-07:00

.
Here comes the time,

when the stars shine deep,

and the sky is green,

often i indulge,

in these thoughts so serene..

do you ever wonder..

why nights are so dark..?

why love is so scarce..?

why is friendship so obsolete..?

and, when to draw the arc..?

do you sometime feel..

a breath overwhelmed,

the bliss when it bleeds,

the code in relations,

and,the fire that sleeps..

here be the time,

when the sky will turn blue,

as the days pass by..

do you fear something new..?

Oshan..

Step up..

2010-04-17T02:38:00.000-07:00

.
Step on it,
Slide on it,
Glaze on it,
And glide on it,
My heart's under your feet,
Take pride on it..

The emotions are black
and soul, collapsed
Take a Ride on it,
Get high on it..

The valley says death,
a path you led,
I don't, lie on it,
so, smile on it..

The cuts are deep,
Blood i reap,
I burn it all,
Look for a leap,
evil, die on it..
Goodbye on it..

Oshan

The rising

2010-03-18T12:52:00.001-07:00

I like to walk,

by the beach,

i see the sun,shinedown,

to the colours of peach..

Waters rise high,

The air shrills,

brings me to life,

and,holds the gap,

The gap that it fills..

i see how hard,

is it to let go,

i wonder how the sea,

sheds and moves fro..

i'm not the sun,

and i'm not the sea,

i cannot fill the gap,

and i cannot walk free,

but,i know when to stay,

and when to leave,

if the world falls apart,

i'll still love me..

Oshan..

Fire..

2010-02-16T08:38:00.000-08:00

.
for days to come,
and days to hire.
we're gonna play,
up and up,
the feast of fire..

for what we do,
becomes our fate..
as we dance along,
with love,comes hate..

will of this summer,
is to open closed doors,
to seek for freedom,
to part our shores..

these hands are open,
not a spoon to deceit,
forget what was not,
and,move your feet..

Oshan..

Rangmanch..

2010-01-09T10:21:00.000-08:00

.
kahin alagh alagh,
kahin simat simat kar,
chalte chale jayee..
hai rangmanch ka ek kinara,
kya kya rang dikhaye..

kabhi apno se,
kabhi anjaano se,
kabhi jeet ki,
to kabhi haar ki..
udaan yeh sansaar si,
koi rok isse na paaye..

kuch tu bhi,
isse samajh samajh,
likhe jo tu,
hai yeh wahi jhalak..
bhar pyar itna,
ki kami na hojaaye..

Fir na yaad se,
bas aaj se..
yeh zindagi muskuraaye..

Oshan..

Live it up..

2009-12-29T13:14:00.000-08:00

.
Life's a celebration,
friendship makes it two,
and love three..

as dawn awaits dusk,
and darkness owes to light..
every scar,rejoices this earth,
has a brighter side..

Live it up for today,
Dress up for your night,
run for the time they gave,
and,leave what's past behind..

a treasure to cherish,
and moments,to unwind,
follow thy heart,
don't forget your mind..

As Life's a celebration,
and this world,blind..

Oshan..

Dead and Gone..

2009-12-09T12:23:00.000-08:00

.
Hanging around in silence,
with words never said,
and words unwritten..

Falls to the corner,
a mortal unknown..
Sunken in treasury,
and a world,his own..

Here comes the time,
when he speaks out..
But,the world's history,
carves enough doubt..

From base to 9,
the system isn't fine..
There's a mirror to hew,
of images he drew..

Like a vulture,
that kills the prone..
with good, never shown,
The Evil dies alone..

Oshan..

Sach to yeh bhi hai..

2009-11-09T12:02:00.000-08:00

sach to yeh bhi hai ki..
ek zindagi ko zarurat tumhari hai..
sach to yeh bhi hai ki..
sabse pyaari apni yeh yaari hai..
sach to yeh bhi hai ki..
tum bin akele hain hamm..
sach to yeh bhi hai ki..
har pal yaad tumhe karte hain hamm..
sach to yeh bhi hai ki..
koi khaas zindagi mein tumsa nahin..
sach to yeh bhi hai ki..
payenge tumhe hamm fir yahin..
sach to yeh bhi hai ki..
hamm na thay kabhi tumse anjaan..
sach to yeh bhi hai ki..
tumse he hai hamari pehchaan..
sach to yeh bhi hai ki..
dil se nahin tum hamare door..

Who are we..?

2009-09-26T03:59:00.000-07:00

.
Who are we..?
different streets,different souls..
succumbed to this system,
system of loop holes..

who are we..?
different lives,different roles..
some played,some withdrawn,
some half way through,
unaccomplished goals..

who are we..?
dancers tied in chains..
swayed by emotions,
and thoughts insane..

who are we..?
one world,common fouls..
used enough,without doubt,
hollow,still profound..

who are we..?
trade of a game,
killing hand to hands,
feeding our gain..

The cards of life

2009-09-10T00:59:00.000-07:00

.
hearts and clubs,
diamonds and spades,
back to back,
they make a trail..

played with cards called life,
sometimes fell,
sometimes survived..
sometimes won this race,
clubbed ace to ace..

a fierce trial to escape,
those i trusted with grace..
the ride of disgust,
that began some august..
a jack with three,
alot more than misery..

a word to remember,
but,not to praise..
as the deck fails,
with no hidden trails..
as when the boat blinks,
no one in this world,
follows till it sinks..

Oshan..

The tale of three

2009-08-11T15:37:00.000-07:00

.
I'll tell you a story,
a story of the three..
in there own worlds,
now missing in me..

That fine august,
the tale starts through..
a day at mocha's,
we clicked the view..

i remember the movie,
when i was lagging behind..
i remeber those days,
when i was being kind..

two of three,
we trailed the beach..
Most of the times,
two had a split..

damn,we'd fight,
damn,we complained,
banged our heads,
turned ice into rage..

then,a 7 to stun,
guns on gun..
my head on fire,
blamed me,the liar..

2 years down,
they think i am fake..
now,i'm confused..
to stay or brake..

Oshan..

17 again..

2009-07-26T11:45:00.001-07:00

.
walks through the corridors ,
and the morning lanes..
bunking those classes,
and flying those planes..
I miss being 17 again..

Sitting by the window
i met my past..
The times i partied,
Times i had a blast..
miss those friends,
and miss those rains,
I miss being 17 again..

Twice those years,
i met my love..
Love at first sight,
most ecstatic,not plain..
Things never get fine,
But i loved those days..
I miss being 17 again..

Well, i miss those years,
and you miss them too..
But there's a string of joy,
That connects us through..
i know,they'll be here,
when i'm in pain..
i wish i was 17 again..

Oshan..

Spoon full of sand..

2009-07-06T12:09:00.000-07:00

.
spoon full of sand,
not the morning dew..
lives just sidle,
split and skew..

steps may mingle steps,
not always walk through..
some scars are so deep,
enough to kill the crew..

if left are, memories,
when back, a crime..
if lost is, luck,
but, to lose is prime..

and,if you lose,
you are a fool..
and,if you don't,
you are a tool..

Oshan..

Take a Bow..

2009-06-29T14:02:00.000-07:00

.
Leaving a lap,
and bringing in the distance..
A shadow's gap,
and the 'good' is gone..

I still..
but we won't be back..
I still..
but now we lack..
I still..
but this time says 'no'..
n I still..
Look through my window..

Don't know where, am going to be..
Don't know where,life takes me..
It may be never..
But it should be now..
It's time to say goodbye,
Take a Bow...

Chale jaana hai..

2009-06-10T13:10:00.000-07:00

.
kya ab khona,
aur kya ab paana hai..
door kahin tumse..
hamein chalte chale jaana hai..

kuch shaam tale,
sawera nahin hota..
kuch yaadoin se..
basera nahin hota..

kuch kahe tumse,
yeh fitrat nahin hamari..
woh saath he kaisa,
jab raas na aaye yaari..

ajnabee lagta hai chehra,
yeh kissa nahin ab azamaana hai..
door kahin tumse,
hamein chalte chale jaana hai..

Run

2009-06-10T13:01:00.000-07:00

.
Living back this season again,
when life has, no reasons again..
It seems all so set,
My soul is thirsty,
my eyes so wet..

I abjured those feelings,
I killed those names..
still entangled in this circle,
I detest these games..

A day that steps,
I look for something new..
who heals this wound,
and steals my view..

I want to break these lines,
make a world of my own..
Escape like a firefly,
happy and unknown..

The journey..

2009-06-08T12:21:00.000-07:00

.
the song is dead,
and my eyes are red..
there's a devil in the sky,
ever sad,no spry..

think, i just killed,
the heart that filled..
it feels so blue,
wish i had a clue..

is it wrong,
or is it right..?
to lose your breath,
and follow the kite..

i'm on a journey of reason,
that lacks any core..
i'll find my way someday..
not forfeit to my folk..

Oshan..

Hate me o' friend..

2009-05-02T22:07:00.000-07:00

.
Hate me o' friend,
we hit the same soul..
hate me o' friend,
i object in your goal..
hate me o' friend,
the rights are all down..
hate me o' friend
i'll prick in your wound..

Hate me o' friend,
The space is to less..
hate me o' friend,
I won't share the rest..
hate me o' friend,
My shadow is cold..
hate me o' friend,
i'm rust,not gold..

Hate me o' friend,
don't wait for my word..
Hate me o' friend,
and fly like a bird..

It's autumn again..

2009-04-14T13:46:00.000-07:00

.
It's autumn again,
and we are going to shed..
all the colours of this year
green,blue and red..

It's autumn again,
and the past is dead..
we are out of that way,
where the monarch lead..

It's autumn again,
and we have to forget..
The relations that came,
and left us bereft..

It's autumn again,
and the nights are dark..
The glory behind,
has left its spark..

It's autumn again,
and the sea is high..
Believe it or not,
Its time to find your sky.

Kho jaane de tu rahon mein,
khatti kabhi meethi,in chaaon mein..
talaash kiski hai tujhe dariya,
berukh in hawaaon mein..

Mit jaane de ab meri nishaani,
ast hai, ab yeh kahani..
beh chal sang is naaw ke,
badle hai rang ,fizaaon ke..

bhar jaaye jo,ghaav hai,
mit jaye jo,yaad hai,
khul jaye to,raaz hai,
keh paye to,baat hai..

Khamoshi hai ab meri zoobani,
Tham chuki hai yeh Zindgaani..

I don't..

2009-04-02T10:16:00.000-07:00

.
i don't want to write..
love is out of sight..
it feels so blue..
where were you..?

i don't want to fight..
let it be,alright..
feels like i'll sink..
god,accept that ring..

i don't want to be,
you will never see,
it isn't so cool..
stop being a fool..

i want to run,
where lies the fun..
as the stars go bright..
let there be light..

Empty Corners..

2009-03-19T13:28:00.000-07:00

.
There's no one at my door,
my hands are empty,
and my thoughts are soar..

The book uncovers,
its all haze..
wipe my hands,
to see our race..
a cluster of hypocrites,
glossy,no base..

when life has no options,
you settle down..
when life has no answers,
you throw the crown..
when life has no words,
you find your noun..

things not taken,
and things they deceit..
measure of their thinkin,
enough to blow this heat..
Face this, human,
do not just quit..
live this life,
bit by bit..

Oshan..

Mom

2009-03-15T06:53:00.000-07:00

.
she is my mom,
she'd be knowing me,right..
she'll be guiding me,
when the light goes bright..
she'd be missing me,
when am out of sight..
she'd be caring,
when am not wise..
she is my mom,
she'd be waiting for me,right..

Mom,
can i tell you am awake..?
how do i tell you,here its so fake..
how do i tell you that i miss you..
how do i tell you that i need you..
how do i tell you,cant stand these fears..
how do i tell you,cant control these tears..

mom you know,
your smile,lights up my eyes..
mom,
your love is my life..

Somebody..

2009-03-13T08:04:00.000-07:00

.
trust somebody,
with your eyes closed..
trust somebody,
for the role they play..
trust somebody,
for there special way..

hurt somebody,
so they're hurt no more..
hurt somebody,
till they close there door..
hurt somebody,
for the colors they wore..

hate somebody,
for what they did..
hate somebody,
for the price you paid,
hate somebody,
till you get rid..

love somebody,
for the time they keep..
love somebody,
for your eyes, they read..
love somebody,
so that it hurts no more..

And,Be somebody,
who can fill the fore..

Aye Insaan..

2009-03-02T12:12:00.000-08:00

.
pyaas iss pal ki..
jaane kya rang layegi..
kabhi sawaan kabhi aag..
tapish hai yeh paak,
har pal tujhe satayegi,
kabhi raas na ayegi..

pyaala kisi shaam ka..
dard kisi jaam ka..
sangharsh mere sangraam ka..
dost bas ik naam ka..

sansaar hai yeh sapno ka..
bas tere he apno ka..
shoor na sar kar..
door na dar kar..
kuch to kar pehchaan..
itna badal na aye insaan..

Oshan..

Dead..

2009-02-23T11:17:00.001-08:00

.
is it real..?
or is it sarcasm..?
is it an upheavel..?
a war or spasm..

no soup, no bowl,
isolated with the soul..
empty in its race,
shuddered by the pace..

A world i wander,
Thoughts,i often ponder..
lonely on the lane,
scrambled not sane..

Sometimes nights are so black,
that i loose my track..
not open to this dawn,
as burried under a lawn..

Oshan..

Anjaane..

2009-02-21T05:18:00.000-08:00

aye raahi..
kaun hai yahan tera apna..
kiski hai yeh kashti..
kiska hai yeh sapna..

tu he tu..
bas tu he tu..
nahin koi apna..
na koi paraye..
chalte chalte apne iss..
mann ko samjhaye..

hai iss pall..
rahe na, ek..
khol yeh aankhein..
fisle hai raeth..

thaam ke kahan chale..
koi haatoin mein haath..
kehna ko koi hota apna..
hoti fir kya baat..
milta nahin koi yuhin aisa..
jo samajh sake tere jasbaad..

A word we know..

2009-02-07T10:15:00.000-08:00

.
Walkin fast down the lane,
sooner or later,
Twas gonna rain..

Now it scares me..
when it does..
You house your clay,
and it turns to mud..

A word we know,
and a world we must,
well trust is rust..
and Friendship dust..

It's slayed with time,
It's sold a dime..
Now saying these words,
Isn't such a crime..

Now rain oh! rain,
its again your time..
I'll kill those memories,
sweet,bitter or lime..

Oshan..

Tujhe..

2009-01-21T10:53:00.000-08:00

.
Tujhe sochta huin ab aise,
tham jaye yeh behti nadi jaise..

udd chala hai ab kahin sapno ka jahan,
khushiyon bhara asmaan ab hai veeran..

tujhe sochta huin ab aise,
pyasa ho yeh saawan jaise..

dheere yeh kaisi hawa chali hai,
murjha si gai ab har woh kali hai..

tujhe sochta huin ab aise,
iss deep tale andhera hai jaise..

ab laut fir iss dil mein na aana,
kahin zindagi ka tum raag sajana..

Fir sochun na tujhe aise,
ki tu mera koi apna ho jaise...

7 hain fir bhi saath nahin,
ab iss zindagi mein,
woh baat nahin..
kaun hain hamm,
ab yaad nahin,
iss masti mein,
ab, woh ehsaas nahin..

hain khush,
ab kismat se haare..
kaun jaane kab,
yeh zindagi thokar maare..

kaisi thi yeh dosti,
kaisa tha yeh waada,
kaise ,kab aur kyun,
rootha yeh irada..

kaisi hai yeh shikayat,
kaisi hai yeh saza,
hass rahe hain hamm,
par nahin hai woh maza..

naye hain ab chehre,
naya hai har jan,
dabb gaya jo mehfil mein,
yeh pyaar na hoga kam..

7 Rocks ..

Deja vu

2009-01-07T05:29:00.000-08:00

.
Everything in life,
is sure to be back..
What you threw,
is what you never lack..

Sooner or later,
The sky will drop..
They will be back,
and you thought you'd crop..

Names yet changed,
the faces deranged..
They all are the same,
A part of this game..

Now you are haunted,
your life screwed..
Now run my child,
you have been used..

But they are sure to come,
They will be back..
They'll kill you one day,
they'll stab your back..

Oshan..

Sometimes

2008-12-30T06:36:00.000-08:00

.
To the rock and thorns of life,
my life fumbles,still imbibes..

Sometimes i fake,
Times i pretend,
Times i shun,
the finest of blends..

Sometimes i lie,
Times i cheat,
Times i am self,
as people believe..

Sometimes i run,
Times i miss the fun,
Times i don't keep,
now,i clear this misbelief..

Sometimes they don't see,
Times they don't hook,
Times i remember,
they just dont brook..

Sometimes we are happy,
Times we are glad,
such Times do pass off,
Breaking away the clad..

Sometimes they come,
Times they leave,
Times its the air,
that gulps the flare..

In this Life,
Now i swear,
Even if they do,
I just won't care..

Hai Shukriya..

2008-12-23T00:33:00.000-08:00

.
kitaab khuli hai aaj yaadoin ki,
kuch kahi kuch ankahi baatoin ki..
gaate hue unn dinon ki..
masti bhari unn raaton ki..

hai shukriya apka,ki jab..

tanha tha main raahi..
tumne safar saja diya..
dhundli thi jo meri duniya..
roshni ka tumne,
diya jala diya..
dard mein jeene ka kabhi,
kissa suljha diya..
kabhi kuch na keh kar,
sab kuch batla diya..

ab sochta huin main..
ki maine kya kiya..
har rishte ko ek..
seedi bana diya..
kuch palon ke liye..
ik kal ko bhula diya..
apni khushi ke liye,
kabhi tumhe rula diya..

jaane kyun aaj aisa laga..
khud ko he di yeh hamne saza..
socha kabhi na apke liye..
khud ko he hamne khudgarz bana diya...

True colors..

2008-12-21T09:45:00.000-08:00

.
3 lines or 3 words..
3 years or 3 outskirts...
things may change,
and their meanings too..
but it's not with me,
its all within you..

Times i hurt you,
times we were 'lost'..
but i always cared,
cared when it was frost..

i know what i did,
and i know what you feel..
but i know you cannot see,
now its dead enough to heal..

my heart does aches,
my soul do cries,
as you never saw my 'true' colors,
they lie behind your soaring eyes...

Kal..

khilkhilaegi yeh zindagi..
muskuraegi yeh zindagi..
fir naye panno ko,
azmaaegi yeh zindagi..

dard bhara jo har sar mein,
iss dard ko tadpaegi yeh zindagi..
tapish ko iski jo lalkara,
ab jwala banjaegi yeh zindagi..
darr nahin hai isse kiska,
darr ka mat ab samjhayegi yeh zindagi..

daayra seemit nahin jiska,
hai roop naya yeh shakti ka..
saath chale,to toofan se lade..
ab yuheen nahin,
tham jayegi yeh zindagi..

ik naye kal ka sapna liye..
badti chali jayegi yeh zindagi..

Yahan Zindagi Hai..

Dekho jahan,meri jaan,
yahan zindagi hai..
choo loon jo taara,
wahan zindagi hai..
aasma se bhi upar,
beintihaan zindagi hain..
resham ke unn dhagon se,
haya zindagi hai..
dosti ke un ujalon ki,
hawa zindagi hai..
baarish ki woh pehli boond,
mazaa zindagi hai..
ghoonth ghoonth iss hulchul ki,
dawaa zindagi hai..
har pal mein jee lene ki,
kala zindagi hai..

Broken..

2008-11-11T05:45:00.000-08:00

.
As the Story rises,
As the star dies,
jitters my body,
glitters my eyes..

The layer was tough,
now broken enough.
The sky seemed blue,
now grey enough..

Can't change the story,
Can't rewind the reel,
Can't unlay the misery,
Can't revel what you feel..

Back to the corner,
Dejected by the gain,
I search for a life,
with a little less pain..

Oshan..

Time

2008-10-11T12:40:00.000-07:00

.
Time has bended,
and the story seems ended.
A one shot left,
Now i am bereft.
Traces of joy,
Died under this sunny coy.

I think of it,
I rupture my mind.
When i open this shell,
my thoughts go blind..

Well,it cannot be grief,
As its not my beleif..
am gonna live..
As ending it with these tides,
was a releif...

Akhri saans..

bhujti hui aankhon ne,
ek pal likhi yeh ankahi kahani..
bhujti hui yeh saans gaa rhi hai...
meri yeh beeti zindgaani..

kya paya kya khoya maine..
har rishte mein,
khud ko piroya maine..
toot gaye kyun ..
yeh rishton ke dhaage..
saans ruk gayi yeh,
iss aas ke aage..

har pal ik nayi kahani,
har pal ik naya mehmaan..
nahin nazar mein ab,
woh meri pehchaan..

ankh hai bhuj chuki..
bhuj gaya hai yeh aks..
rishton ke andhere mein..
khogaya hai yeh shaqs..

Aaj..

aaj socha yuhin,
yeh saawan barasta hai kyun,
yeh dil machalta hai kyun..
yeh sur mein hai sangam kaisa..
lage rishton ki shaam jaisa..

aaj socha yuhin,
yeh leher uthti hai kyun..
yeh shama bhujti hain kyun..
paas koi aata hai kyun..
fir door koi jaata hai kyun..

aaj socha yuhin,
raaz kyun rehta hai,
har dil mein daba..
shuru hota hai kyun,
yeh zindagi ka silsila..

Oshan..

Lost..

2008-09-20T14:16:00.000-07:00

.
One relation ended for another,
as they shut their doors,
I dumped my shutter..

Your not,in your shoes,
you'll throw,you'll use..
An empty sack,
and i know you Lack..

I wont stand in the crew,
as i did that a few..
I light from burns,
To find something new..

Now dont look back,
Id be too late..
I have opened my doors,
for another snake...

Hai Ghar Mera..

Bichde unn raston mein...
tanha unn paimano mein..
ek ghar hai mera...
dil ke un andheron mein...
uljhe hue unn sawaroin mein..
ek ghar hai mera..
aag ki unn gufaaon mein..
raeth ki unn dishaon mein..
ek ghar hai mera..

aaj baat zubaan par fir aai..
mausam mein nami hai fir chaai..
hai chal har jagah,
na khushi ka kahin basera..
aisa he hai ye ghar mera...

Lonely...

2008-08-09T23:41:00.000-07:00

.
Life's a short morning..
drizzled by the drop..
sizzled from the top...
jiggled under the sun..
indeed a jested pun..

Life's an arrested evening..
ears and eyes soared..
bended and bored..
blended with wrath..
as painful as death..

Life's a thirsty night..
nostalgia on the run..
you creep to shun..
a rest to this flight..
a bruise on my kite..

Oshan..

Rock On..

2008-07-27T11:29:00.000-07:00

It's raining outside,
and its raining in.
Life's half a shot vodka,
a full cup gin.

Names are engraved,
and names blocked.
Corner of some heart,
they still live cloaked.

my thoughts are well,
my idioms sane.
am i a path,
or just a lane?

I struggle through my shadow,
I struggle down my name.
A journey stand ended,
and who's to blame?

But life has a motto,
and life is still on.
To kill my kill,
i'd rather Rock on...

Oshan..

paheli..

2008-07-17T13:24:00.000-07:00

zindagi se zindagi hai judi,
kabhi sachai yeh lage,
kabhi hatkadi.
ek gamm hai dil mein,
gamm se haseen,
kyun ek rishte se,
duniya hai thami.
beh jaye ye raeth,
hai wakt ka irada.
kuch pathar teri dua,
pathar tera waada..
khinch aur na itna,
ki toot jaye ye dhaga,
pyar na kar,
tu pyar se zyada.

Oshan...

I hate to say sorry....

2008-06-08T12:12:00.000-07:00

I ring a bell,
for thoughts i sell..
one, two or maybe three,
Sometimes i just,
sell them free..

My thoughts are well,
not well perceived..
Behind clay bars,
sometimes left grieved..

I think,
thinking is the key..
Is this world,
world my enemy??

A bed of roses,
when i was born..
Had never forseen,
the way of thorns..

Well life is not easy,
and life is not long..
Still people dont understand,
they just bong..

I hate to say 'sorry',
As i can explain..
so i ring the bell,
Down the lane..

Oshan..

why?

2008-05-31T14:33:00.000-07:00

why does it always happen..??
..the journey ends when you start feeling that you can walk some more...

..you realise someones imoportance when they have already left...

..you feel alone in the crowd...

..your thoughts overstay in yer mind just to create a volcanic eruption when yer alone...

..you pretend to be nice when you know wat you are...

..you hang up when you so need to speak...

..you kill your time thinking of things that are not possible,of things you'll never do...

..your fake smile tries to overcome for whats goin on deep inside...

..you care so much but they dont see it...

..you want to clear out a misunderstanding but let go thinkin its too late...

..you are nothin for them when they're everything for you...

The Race Against Time...

2008-05-11T12:40:00.001-07:00

Life never remains the same..
The truth that it holds..
Is nothing but an illusion...
Time flies..
It has wings that never show..
What you do today is 'done'
And what you've 'done' today,
Wont remain forever..
The drops you shed...
May never reach its architect...

We still hope..
We still dream,dream of something better..
We still sow when its already dead...
We still love that has to fade..
We still live when it pains..
We still cry..and..
We still try..

For life is nothing but a race..
A Race Against TIME..

Oshan...

Yaadein..

Aae shaam ek aur anjaani,
chale jaa rahi woh beeti kahani,
kahe mujhse hai kya,
na main jaanu..
apne rahe woh ya nahin,
na main pehchaanu..
rang na laayi pyar ki gehraai,
shama yeh naajaane kisne bhujai...
dil hai,yeh hain dil ki baatein,
iss rishte ko he kehte hai YAADEIN...

Me

2008-04-10T04:28:00.000-07:00

.
My ways are blocked..
My doors are locked...
I nourish an empty soul...
When i stand alone..

Try not to search
Try not to look..
My identity is scarce..
Like a closed book..

I shall be ME
And i shall remain..
Earth, your efforts..
Shall go in vain..

Thats what i am..
Accept it or not...
Raise your spirits..
I wont be shocked...

My mind sings..
Puts me to control..
For my life..
'I' play a keen role...

Oshan...

The End...

2008-04-08T07:55:00.000-07:00

morning blues upon the ocean,
who am i??
a life kicked into motion..
happiness is just another notion,
i do,
swallow my emotions...

a subtle past,
my head into flames..
save me God,
from these still frames..
its all dark,
as the present play games..

i take a nap,
just to relax..
my mind is crunched,
when i see the lax..
i spin in neave,
i shirk and leave...

a six short gun,
and am dead..
i can imagine,
the colour of red..
my name rusts,on the wand,
this is nothing,
but the END..

Oshan...

Dream...

2008-04-04T01:21:00.000-07:00

My eyes closed to a dream,
Walking in circles of my own,
The journey began..
A journey unknown,
A journey unseen,
Long,that did not seem to end,
To it my arms,they bend...

Loving what comes is my nature,
Like a spirit,it enlightens every creature..
Those pictures,those friends,
Those smiling Faces,
Made this way familiar,
Life and love now seems similar...

As my eyes blinked,
Dreams are dreams,
They sinked...
All they left,
Is a Kink.....

The New Road...

2008-03-31T04:33:00.000-07:00

The spring is on a show...
A dancing bird,i see through my window..
Hey oh! welcome to my life again..
Shun those memories,down the lane..
That whispers is the breeze...
Ahh! life is again in ease..

No clutching,no stab..
Life has taken another lap...
My thoughts are never mistaken..
The draped bloom has just broken..
Turn by turn,the picture clears..
Life taught me to wipe my tears...

To this journey,i have found the reason...
Life itself,
Cant steal my season..
Cherishing the present..
Forgetting the pains..
I'll dance today,
If it Rains......

Oshan....

We Are NO sage...

2008-03-27T08:56:00.000-07:00

.
The Sketch of Happiness,
Is the Art of Divine..
Lucky who get it,
In their journey towards shrine...

We look for it,
That seems so Strange..
Lets look inside us,
Our life may change...

In a deep Breath,
Our voice is Hidden..
To the fear of this World,
Our thoughts are smitten...

To the religon of threads,
Why be engaged?
The Rage in my Mind says,
That we are NO Sage...

Yeh Zindagi...

2008-03-25T11:28:00.000-07:00

Yeh Zindagi ik taraana hai...
Kahin khoya sa chand,
To kahin mohobbat ka afsaana hai...
Kahin uljhi hui yaadoin ka,
Pyara sa mehkhaana hai...
Kahin dosti ka jaam,
Kahin dilon ka shaamiyaana hai...
Kahin Khabon se Roshan,
Yeh Geet suhana hai...
Chaho to Khushi hai iske har salaam mein,
Gam to bebas Dil ka Nazraana Hai..

One Day...

2008-03-25T02:50:00.000-07:00

Am a little afraid,
a bit scared..

You will enter my life,
Like rain to the wild..
You will make me laugh,
You will see me crying..
We will love each Other,
We will promise to be together..
Your glance,
Will Make me Dance..
Your name,
Will make me sing..
You will become my life,
I shall keep..

Am a Little afraid,
Somewhat scared..
With you I see the glory,
BUT..One day you will leave ,
Or shall I,
Just to end the Story....

Oshan..

Sadness

2008-03-01T10:34:00.000-08:00

.
To the flow of Sand,
Life is running from my hand,
With no emotions i write,
Of a Life,that lost its Sight,
The splendid colors,
Have ended to Darkness,
My thirsty thoughts,
Reap inevitable bitterness,
These i believe,
Are Trials of Time,
Sometime Life turns,
From Wine to Lime...

They say,Hope Is the best rhythm,
The rhythm still beats,
As dead as the autumn leaves,
In this city Of Civil,
I stand aloof,
Lately I've realised that am Sealing The LOOP......

Diya Yeh Jalta hai.....

2008-03-01T03:07:00.000-08:00

Diya Yeh Jalta Hai,
Shama ke Bhuj Jaane pe,
Yaadein Chura laaye hain unki,
Uss Guzre Zamaane Se,
Hairaan hai yeh aks,
Unke bhool jaane Se,
Koi Do Pal Se Zindagi Saja leta hai,
Kabhi Zindagi lag Jaati Hai Samjhaane mein......

Oshan.....

Khoye Jo Rang...

2008-03-01T02:59:00.000-08:00

Khoye jo Rang Duniya Mein,
Jee Chahta hai kuch aur saja loon..
Yaadon ke aaine se main aaj,
Apni he parchaai chura loon...
Geeli maati ki uss khushbu mein,
Apna ik ghar bana loon...
Iss kadar bas jaun unki saanson mein fir,
Tanhai ko halki bhi na jagah doon....

Songs From My Memories

2008-03-01T02:54:00.000-08:00

The Songs from my memories do rise..
on a sea shore far and wide...

The thoughts from the past do fly...
with the wind so hard and dry...

love those pictures as they come...
life without them is life undone...

with each new day,lives the past...
when life runs,it runs so fast...

without them,my lifez a lonely rack..
i wish,wish them be back..

Oshan...
