A poetic and musical monument
To God, Life, Liberty, and Love
Woven in harmony, clear and fluent
For the One who breathed Life from above
If not for God, then what would be?
No light, no song, no soul set free

This Life—this gift so wild, so vast
A river flowing, deep and fast
It yearns for meaning, voice, and flight
A soul that seeks the morning light
For Life is sacred, fierce, and bold
And not a thing to cage or hold

Let's celebrate Life, Liberty, and Love
Let this be the dream we’re part of
To live, to breathe, to rise above
Let this be the dream we’re part of
To live, to breathe, to rise above
And break the chains we’re weary of
For only when we’re truly free
Where Love is born in verity

For a love blossomed, felt so free
From a life lived in liberty
It breathes in us, no power can contain
That no one ever should restrain
For Liberty is where Love grows
And in its fire, the Spirit knows

Let no one silence hearts that burn
For peace, for love, for each return
To self, to truth, to skies above
To all we are, to all we love
This is our vow, our human right
To live and love with fearless light

Let's celebrate Life, Liberty, and Love
Let this be the dream we’re part of
To live, to breathe, to rise above
And break the chains we’re weary of
And break the chains we’re weary of
For only when we’re truly free
Where Love is born in verity

A poetic and musical monument
To God, Life, Liberty, and Love
To remind and inspire—why wouldn't it?
For Life, for Liberty that breathes
And Love that lives when the soul believes

Thoughts of you
pnam Mar 2020
Morning alarm goes off
Thoughts of you spins off
When my minds wakes up
Memories of you catches up

When I make my morning bed  
Images of you flashes in my head
When I see myself in the mirror
Presence of you still linger hither

Warm water on me in shower
Misty sweet memories falls in drizzle
Drip sound of brewing morning coffee
Echoes moments with you soulfully

As I go through my  day routine
Feeling your presence even unseen
Night falls each day in memory vignette
Thoughts of you dawn until sunset

On Her Way...
pnam Apr 19
There comes a time when the road calls your name
This is for the ones finding their way
Some stories begin when you leave the page you knew
Some stories begin when you leave the pain you knew

As you're getting ready to step into the new  
Fresh winds calling, skies a different hue  
Many chapters in your life, girl, they're just startin' new  
A young heart finding its way—who knew?

Wishing you moments of laughter and grace  
Prayers always for you, in life’s wild race  
Strength, courage, healing, and wisdom too  
For a life that's radiant, meaningful, and true  

Many chapters in your life, girl, they're just startin' new  
A young soul on the rise—who knew?

Though we haven’t walked all roads side by side  
We still cheer for you, with hearts open wide  
Don’t let the past keep you in its bind  
New hopes, new starts, leave no dreams behind  

Many chapters in your life, girl, they're just startin' new  
A young soul on the rise—who knew?

Be kind, be bold—but guard your flame  
This world can smile and still play games  
Not all who reach out have hearts that are true  
So trust your gut—it’s always guided you  

Never give up—kept faith will win the fight  
Even in shadows, you carry your light  
And when the weight feels heavy, or dreams feel far  
Reach out—we're here, no matter where you are  

Many chapters in your life, girl, they're just startin' new  
A wise heart grows where the brave pursue  

Let joy be your compass, let time be your guide  
We believe in the fire you carry inside  
Be true to yourself and hold your truth tight  
Storms pass—your light will win the fight  

Many chapters in your life, girl, they're just startin' new  
A young soul on the rise—who knew?

May love surround you, wherever you roam  
Your new place awaits, but you'll always have  a home  here
Chase your own sunrise, let your heart lead the way  
And may hope and faith guide you each day  


Many chapters in your life, girl, they're just startin' new  
A young soul on the rise—who knew?

It hurts now, my love — don’t drift away,
Every breath I take begins to fray.
Each heartbeat echoes through my empty heart,
What once was whole, now falling apart.

Let this arrow in my heart stay,
This heart would break in pain, won’t you see?
Hear the pleading of my cries — don’t turn from me,
If your heart is unsure, another chance I plea.

The dreams I’ve cradled night and day,
Still linger with your name, tucked away.
Let shattered hopes take shape once more,
Let petals rise to bloom once more.

Let this arrow in my heart stay,
This heart would break in pain, won’t you see?
Hear the pleading of my cries — don’t turn from me,
If your heart is unsure, another chance I plea.

Don’t let go of my longing hand,
Don’t leave love behind in winds to stray.
Every heartbeat sings your name in my song,
Just once — heed my heart’s aching call.

Let this arrow in my heart stay,
This heart would break in pain, won’t you see?
Hear the pleading of my cries — don’t turn from me,
If your heart is unsure, another chance I plea.

It hurts now… don’t drift away
Let this love… this arrow in my heart stay…
It hurts now… don’t drift away…
Let this love… this arrow in my heart stay…

दर्द होता है अब यूँ, दूर न जाया कीजिए,
सांस रुकती है मेरी, यूँ न सताया कीजिए...
इस तीर को अब, इस दिल में ही रहने दीजिए,
बिखरे अरमानों को, फिर से सजाने दीजिए...

सह न पाएगा अब ये दिल, ये तो ज़रा देखिए,
आँसुओं की फ़रियाद, दिल से सुन तो लीजिए...
ख़फ़ा हैं हमसे अगर, तो एक मौका और दीजिए,
इस दर्द-ए-मोहब्बत को, कोई मरहम तो दीजिए...

मुद्दतों से जो ख़्वाब सजाए हैं मैंने,
उन्हें फिर से दीदार का मौका तो दीजिए...
कितना बेकरार है दिल सनम आपके लिए,
बस एक बार मोहब्बत का संदेशा दीजिए...

छोड़ो न मेरा हाथ, यूँ दूर न जाया कीजिए,
बेचैनियों की आह को, एक बार तो सुन लीजिए...
मेरी धड़कन का हर नग़मा सिर्फ आपके लिए,
फ़रियाद है मेरी, फिर से दीदार करा दीजिए...

सह न पाएगा अब ये दिल, ये तो ज़रा देखिए,
आँसुओं की फ़रियाद, दिल से सुन तो लीजिए...
ख़फ़ा हैं हमसे अगर, तो एक मौका और दीजिए,
बिछड़े लम्हों को फिर से इस दिल में पिरो दीजिए...

दर्द होता है अब यूँ... दूर न जाया कीजिए...
दूर न जाया कीजिए... दूर न जाया कीजिए...

Pain lingers within me now, please don’t go far away,
My breath falters, don’t torment me this way...
Let this arrow remain, deep within my heart,
Let these shattered dreams be adorned
This heart can bear it no more, just take a look and see,
Listen to the plea of my tears, hear them once from me...
If you're upset with me, then grant me one more chance,
This aching love, please offer it some healing glance...
The dreams I have cherished for ages,
Let them witness your sight again...
My heart longs endlessly just for you, my love,
Send me a message of love, just once again...
Don’t let go of my hand, don’t drift away like this,
Hear the sighs of my restless soul, just once, please...
Every beat of my heart sings only for you,
This is my plea, let me see you once more...
This heart can bear it no more, just take a look and see,
Listen to the plea of my tears, hear them once from me...
If you're upset with me, then grant me one more chance,
Weave the broken moments back into my heart...
Pain lingers within me now... please don’t go far away...
Don’t go far away... don’t go far away...
This heart can bear it no more, just take a look and see,
Listen to the plea of my tears, hear them once from me...
If you're upset with me, then grant me one more chance,
Weave the broken moments back into my heart...
Pain lingers within me now... please don’t go far away...
Don’t go far away... don’t go far away...

Love is Never Fair
pnam Apr 19
I didn’t know then — something was breaking,
In the silence, the distance, the slow separating.
Now I know this separation
I know this distance, I know this ache,
Love is never a clean escape.
Oh, I know this love, I know it well…
No, love was never fair.
I know this distance, I know this ache,
Love is never a clean escape.
Oh, I know this love, I know it well…
No, love was never fair.

It won’t stop, it won’t break,
Dreams dissolve but hearts still ache.
I have lived this loss before,
Yet I keep waiting at your door.

Time rewinds, pulls me in,
Locks me where we once had been.
No, love was never fair…
No, love was never fair.

No date to mark, no place in time,
No line where your heart crossed into mine.
Where do I go? Who do I blame?
If love is blind, then why this pain?

I know the truth, it's not unclear,
Yet still, I walk back into fear.
If we were never meant to last,
Then why did we begin?

Oh, love fades, but weight remains,
What we forget still leaves a trace.
Every prayer disappears in air,
But love was never fair.

It won’t stop, it won’t break,
Still, my heart won’t hesitate.
I have lived this loss before,
Yet I keep waiting at your door.

Time rewinds, pulls me in,
Locks me where we once had been.
No, love was never fair…
No, love was never fair.

And though I know we won’t restart,
You still take space inside my heart.
This pain won’t stop, this love won’t fade,
Yet still, I stay… knowing I can’t escape.

Sehmi chaadar mein, thama hua saath tera
Khushboo se pehchaan loon, jaise pehli dafa
Chaadar ki teh mein, bas ek nishaan hai tera
Lehar choo jaaye, to yaadon ka silsila beh chala

Tu ** to neend shabnam ki tarah utarti hai
Har ek pal mein mohabbat ki khushboo bharti hai
Tu na ** to savera bhi be-sabab jagaata hai
Dil udaas hai aur hawa bhi yaadon mein ruk jaata hai

Woh chaadar jo kabhi saath humne odh rakhi thi
Ab bhi us mein teri adaon ke saaye base hain
Woh lamhe jo teri baaton mein chupke se dhal jaayein
Fasaana ban ke har raat mere paas laut aaye

Tu ** to neend shabnam ki tarah utarti hai
Har ek pal mein mohabbat ki khushboo bharti hai
Tu na ** to savera bhi be-sabab jagaata hai
Dil udaas hai aur hawa bhi yaadon mein ruk jaata hai

Dil ke sheher mein khoobsurat aashiyaana hai tera
Jahaan soch ki lehron pe behta fasaana hai mera
Har khayaalon mein dikha ek naya savera
Aur tanhaai tujh mein milne ka bahaana ban jaaye

Us chaadar mein teri garmi mehfooz hai
Tere saath bitaaye har lamhon ka maahaul qaaim hai
Tu ** to neend shabnam ki tarah utarti hai
Subah ko keh do, kuch der aur ruk jaaye

Palkon band karoon to bhi, tu kahin paas hai
Naqsh teri yaadon ka, har raah mein raas hai
Waqt ke patton pe tera rang chhalakta hai
Aur dil — bas tera, ab aur kya bacha hai?

In the Folds of This Quilt

In a quiet quilt, your presence softly stays
I know you by your scent — just like the first time
In its folds, your imprint still lies near
When the breeze stirs, a stream of memories reappears

When you're here, sleep drips down like dew at night
Each moment blooms with love’s gentle light
When you're not, even dawn feels lost and bare
The heart grows heavy, and the breeze just halts in air


That quilt we once wrapped around as one
Still holds the trace of your charms, never gone
Those moments that melted in your hushed replies
Return each night as a tale behind my eyes

When you're here, sleep drips down like dew at night
Each moment blooms with love’s gentle light
When you're not, even dawn feels lost and bare
The heart grows heavy, and the breeze just halts in air

In the city of my heart, there’s a home that’s yours alone
Where my drifting thoughts weave a tale of their own
Each thought unveils a sunrise born anew
And loneliness becomes a path that leads to you

That quilt still holds the warmth you left behind
The air of our moments, in every thread I find
When you're here, sleep drips down like dew at night
Tell the morning — just wait, don’t bring the light

Even with closed eyes, I feel you're near
The map of your memory marks every path clear
On time’s worn leaves, your color softly plays
And this heart — it’s yours, what more remains?
