'Those Eyes'

This is for all those men who watch women being eve teased,assaulted or exploited and still choose to stay quiet! I don't know what goes on in your minds when you watch....I just wish that you would someday understand what it feels like to be brought down from "being God's reflection' to Just a 'cheap fun object'!!
I hope some day you would understand....


I felt a shiver run down my spine
When those eyes happened to cross mine
Those eyes that had questions
unspoken,no words
Those eyes that questioned
My inner world

Why didnt I vanish?
Why Didn't I disappear?
Why am I so very often
Caught unaware?
Why did those eyes have to look into mine?
Why did they question
All that was on my mind?

Why am I even thinking about those eyes?
That's their plight!Whats the surprise?!
Manhood,Power,Strength and me
Thats what I want those eyes to see!!

But yet I know they travel deep
Questioning my depth and insecurities
Is that what gives you a high?
My eyes full of tears
When they could have been dry?

You could have stood up and been a real man
Who was willing to try and said I can
Thats True strength,true 'manhood' to me
That in your helplessness
you would be ready to fall with dignity.

But I stood there as I stand now
Those eyes look out and ask why?
Is it so hard to get that I am HUMAN??
Not a Desirable 'OBJECT',But a WOMAN?!

I have no answers,I cant say why
My concience pricks me
But I move on with a sigh
Maybe next time I'll do what I can
Maybe next time.....
I'll try being a MAN!!

'Pehchaan'

Baarish ki boondh si
Khilti kiran si
Lehro ki masti
Ya udthi patang si
Indradhanush ke rango ki jaan
Indradhanush si teri pehchaan
Sej pe rakh du
Nihare sab tujhe
Nahi rahe ab koi kona
Unchua tere rang se

Par rango go na main
Banaoon apni pehchaan
Shakti aur rang ka kaise karlu mel?
Vijeyta bus main hoon!
Kyunki mera hain ye khel!

Tu Baarish hi sahi
Par baadal main hoon tera
Tu Chahe khula aasmaan
Par rahega pehra mera!

Ye Pehre na ho
Tho kahaan ka main raja?
Meri khokli randneeti ko
Kaise poora kar paata?
Khokla! Dara Hua! Kamzor ! Pareshaan!
yeh hain....
Meri Mardaani pehchaan!!

'Worship'

lord as I step into your presence today
let everything else just fade
Let me not be emotionally swayed
Be happy coz my favourite song is played
May I be consumed ,my praise be raised
As I fall facedown and stand amazed
..The LORD in ALL HIS GLORY!!
Can you imagine that??!
And yet foolishly how ignorant I have sat
Because as always never did I ask,
"Father were you pleased?"
I'm just always bothered about how
others make me feel!
let me really MEET You today..
let the 'ME' today ....
..fade...In this
"Celebration of GRACE"

'Tasveer'

Bandish na rakhiye koi
Afsana bana lijeye
Dhalti raat ke sahare hi sahi
Jugnu ko dost bana lijeye
Darthe hain aap rang se?
Dharthe hain ki daag lag jayenge?
Arre din nikalte hi ye rang
Tasveero main badal jayenge
Par purani tasveero ka kya?
Un kale safed yadon ka kya?
Ankhon main bhar lo unhe Aye dost!
Dhoop ki kiran padthe hi..
woh bhi rang jayenge!

Chal tu aaj ek nayi dagar
Nahi baandh ab apne maan ko
Le rang bhar...
Bhar ke kar le haatho ko gila
Ab bana..bana daal
Indradhanush sa..
Apna Naya Savera

'Hands'

I see a hand at work
It colours the sky and plants the waves of the sea
I see a hand at work
It heals and makes the blind see
I see a hand at work
It breaks the bread and feeds
I see a hand at work
It takes a basin and a towel and washes feet
I see a hand at work
Blood flowing out coz a nail has stuck it to the tree
I see wounded hands at work
Embracing a sinner like me
I see wounded hands at work
Gently touching and moulding me
I see wounded hands at work
Wiping away my tears,never leaving me..

I See your hands.... and... I look at mine
Just props of emotional expression
Love with a handshake and a punch in a fight
But I see your wounded hands and i cant help but shout...
Lord I thankyou....
Because of your wounded hands
I now stand out!

'Barsaat'

Kyun Daba lu in ehsaaso ko,
Kyun Udne na du inhe
Kya Saza hain inki
Kya Haq nahi inhe

Baarish ki boondh kya poochti hain
Kis ki chath par giru
Woh tho Nidar barasti hain..
Bus girne ki lekar aarzoo
kya galat kiya maine agar pyaar kar liya?
Kya galat kiya maine agar dil dukha liya?

Kya jawaab du main ab..
Kya khoya...kya paya...

Jab main apna sab kuch
Is bay mausam ki barsaat main bhiga aya.....
Bhiga aya...

'My Debut'

Its a crazy feeling...
and it comes and it goes
one moment you're there and the other
am not too sure
Its a wild chase and I long to know
what the end's gonna be
Tied up? locked down?
or absolutely free.....!!

They say you love me
but your scared to believe
I feel your definition of love
is not sumthing that anyone can percieve.
It's like a drama that's fully..,rehearsed in your head
U cum play your part and leave me impressed
But for me all this....everything...is true!!!
For me...u...me..and love
have made our DEBUT!!
