Ek Chehra Dhundta Hun Mein

Ek Chehra Dhundta Hun Mein.
Hansta, Muskata sa,
Bhola sa, nadaan sa.
Do aankhen shararat bhari,
Aur hont bhare duaon se.
Wo jo subah ko naya sa kar de,
Wo humsafar dhundta hun mein.
Ek chehra dhundta hun mein.

Ek chehra dhundta hun mein.
Jo dil ka aina ho.
Kare jo har dukh ko fanan,
Ek nazar bhar dekhne mein hi.
Jiska deedar hi ibadat ho,
aur judai dard ban jaaye.
Wo khuda ka noor dhundta hun mein.
Ek chehra dhundta hun mein.

You Smiled and My World Came Alive

You smiled and my world came alive.
That day I saw you walking among the stars,
All bedazzled and surrounded by flowers.
With your twinkling eyes and your sheepish smile.
You floored me instantly with your simple style.
A look by you and ma' heart did a jive,
You smiled and my world came alive.

The times when we talk,
I just watch the screen.
Imagining your face in the words that appear.
Every smiley sets my face alight,
and each offline status dims my eyes.
As I  watch you go, my heart takes a dive,
You smile and my world comes alive.

For days I tried to take control,
To chain the heart that goes for a stroll.
And when it appeared that I'd mastered my heart,
Your FB update took it all apart.

And off I was, crazy like a kid of Five,
You smiled and my world came alive.
