Smell that dwells

 It was there every now and then..

A part of me it touched and began

Good or bad it has got a charm

I cud feel it every dusk or dawn..

 

At times low at times high..

That fresh pungent smell was an airstrike..

I used to feel it everywhere..

That lip-smacking aroma in the air..

 

Toxic, tickling yet scrumptious..

It was clearly visible as it glares..

I got used to that tangy madness..

It brought that smile that lasted miles..

 

Not so sure if it will be there ever..

Dont know the origin, nor the flavor..

All I know is, it stayed since forever..

Predominant in my blood and air..

 

The last I remember it was sluggish and blue..

It’s been ages its missing in the air..

I try to search it everywhere..

But all in vein, not even a clue..

 

A tingle smell that rung the bells..

That marvelous smell that dwells !!

 

Kuch is qadar mujhme tu aaj bhi baaki hai!!

 

Mere aaj me kal ki ik chhalak abhi baaki hai..

Kuch is qadar mujhme tu aaj bhi baaki hai!!

Teri aahanton se aaj bhi rooh waahqif hai meri..

Meri saanson me aaj bhi mehak teri baaki hai !!

 Teri yaadon ki parhchhayi chal rahi saath hai mere..

Un parchhhaiyo me chhipi muskaaan abhi baaki hai !!

Kuch is qadar mujhme tu aaj bhi baaki hai..

 

Seene ke kisi kone me aaj bhi rehta hai yaar mera

Us sone yaar da deeedar abhi baaki hai !!

 Noore mohabbat me madhosh main aaj bhi hoon

Us madhoshi ko labzon me bayan karnaa abhi baaki hai

Kuch is qadar mujhme tu aaj bhi baaki hai..

Karte hai dilon jaan qurbaan un pe aaj bhi hum..

Unhein is aashiqui ka ilm hona aaj bhi baaki hai !!

Milon ki dooriyaan pal mein fanaa kar doon, jo chaahe tu..

Kambakht, wo ik razaaa tere honthon pe aana aaj bhi baaki hai !!

Kuch is qadar mujhme tu aaj bhi baaki hai..

Change..!!!

The complexity and dynamics of this World has always left me subtle and resentful !! Changes ! do we really need them ? Even if we do, shouldn’t there be a considerable rationing associated with them.

At times, I wonder how life would have been without those “THE ENDS” in everything we cherished. 

How I wish my favorite movie never ended; my ice cream cone would have never got over; my football never got punctured; my school days never ended; friends never departed; all priorities stayed the same; people we love stayed around forever… Would it have challenged the equilibrium of this Space ? 

Can’t we get a Change that can change all the ‘Changes’ ? Or to be précised, can we get a change that never changes ?
