This is something new
Thought this feeling was one I knew
Inside my heart she has staged a coup
yes, I do love you
'you' rhymes perfectly as i write through
The sky suddenly feels more blue
your picture inside my head nailed with glue
i can just make more out of the view
seeing new stars a few
this is definitely something new.....

Jo mayassar **, uski chah hi nahi,

Pyaar mila—ek dafa bhi nahi.

Woh apna nahi, usse ab khafa bhi nahi,

Par is dard ki... ab koi dawa bhi nahi.


Kavi toh nahi hoon, par baatein hazaar hain,

Yeh dil... shayad ek baar phir faraar hai.

Uski nazrein dekh ke laga, shayad woh bhi beqarar hai,

Par haqeeqat mein—woh toh mujhse sirf bezaar hai.


Pehle laga... yahi hai woh,

Jiski mujhe talaash hai.

Par aakhir mein, mera dil

Mujhse hi vapas... hataash hai.


Kitni tareef karun uski,

Uska toh dil todhne ka bhi—alag andaaz hai.
