Maybe


A smile dances on your lips as those dark circles quickly sob under your eyes. You rest your head every so gently on his shoulders looking up at the phone he holds to capture this moment in its eternity as you arch your body every so slightly away from his.

Maybe you are in love with him, maybe it is something else that binds you to him. Maybe in this moment a feeble beat of your heart sighed my name, maybe it is the intoxication of this single malt that makes me see an alternate reality that the senses don't, maybe I am finally what I always claimed to be - a raving lunatic and there is nothing more to you, him or me, maybe one day I will know for sure or maybe one day the world will run out of whiskey and I will be able to sleep.

Maybe.

Aaj phir




Chalo aaj phir ek dastaan likhein
Ek purani dabee umeed nikalein, ek bhooli  khoyi  yaad tarashein
Ek nas ka lahoo seenche, tumhe kagaz aur kalam banaein
Chalo aaj phir ek dastaan likhein

Phir us naam ki guhaar lein,
Phir us aks ki .... karein
Phir is kismat pe kabhi roye, kabhi hasein,
Phir ek gahri saans main tumhari khushboo samete
Chalo aaj phi ek dastaan likhein

Chalo phir is ass ki ibtada dhoondhein, Chalo uski inteha talaashein
Chalo is kasak ko koi doosra naa dein
Chalo aaj phi ek daastan likhein

Chalo aaj phir wo pehsaani us darakht pe ghisse
Chalo aaj phir us khuda ki mannat karein,
Aur chalo phir gusse main usko nakar, chalo phi  main-kade main basar karein
Chalo aaj phi ek dastaan likhein
