The Pain Within

You lose a job, you lose a love,
you lose the ones you’re dreaming of.
Parents gone, it feels like death,
a life half-lived, a stolen breath.

No sun now shines, no flowers bloom,
just endless nights and quiet gloom.
A pain too deep for words to say,
it hides within, yet won’t decay.

The heart still beats, but not the same
it whispers loss in love’s own name.
Silent, unseen, yet burning strong 
a pain that hums life’s saddest song 

When Illness Speaks

Diseases come not just to break,
but to whisper truths we often forsake.
In pain, the body softly cries,
Slow down, see life through gentler eyes.

Each fever burns what we must release,
each scar reminds us, healing is peace.
Sickness, a teacher in silent disguise,
showing how fragile yet strong we rise.

When darkness visits, we learn to see,
that every ache has meaning to be.
For even in weakness, wisdom grows
through every wound, the spirit glows.

Let Go and Move On

Let go… and move on, my heart,
no more thoughts, no more tears to part.
Time keeps ticking, soft yet strong 
all must change, we move along.

Life may be brief, or endless and wide,
mortal steps on immortal tide.
Even the deepest thoughts run dry,
and memories fade, no matter how we try.

For what we keep, time will renew 
the heart forgets, to find someone new.

Chand Chhupa Badal Mein

 

Chand chhupa badal mein
Sharmake meri jaa
Aaja re aaja re
Aaja re aaja re

Chand chhupa badal mein
Sharmake meri jaa
Aaja re aaja re
Aaja re aaja re

Yeh dil uda uda jaaye
Aaj kisi ke milne ko
Pyaar mein jhoomta jaye
Aaj kisi ke milne ko

Chand chhupa badal mein
Sharmake meri jaa
Aaja re aaja re

Main yeh sochu saanjh savere
Kaise maine bitaye re
Tere bin kaise din mere**
Kaise maine bitaye re**

Main toh tumse aankh mila ke
Sab kuch keh jaati re
Chand chhupa badal mein
Sharmake meri jaa
Aaja re aaja re

Yeh nasha kya keh raha hai
Dilruba tu samjha ja
Jo nasha yeh keh raha hai
Dilruba tu samjha ja

Kya bataaun haal dil ka
Tu toh mera humraaz hai
Chand chhupa badal mein
Sharmake meri jaa
Aaja re aaja re

Friend

 

Through twists of time and changing days,
our hearts still find familiar ways.
No distance wide, no silence long,
can dim the bond that keeps us strong.

Pure and true, beyond all ties,
our friendship glows — it never dies.
Unspoken love, without demand,
no rule, no reason — just heart in hand.

We’ve fought, we’ve cried, we’ve walked apart,
yet you still live inside my heart.
And when I see you, all fades away —
a smile breaks free, as bright as day.

No matter the past, no matter the pain,
one glance, and it’s whole again.
For friendship — that gentle, endless art —
is the truest feeling of every heart.

Forever friend - ನಿತ್ಯ ಸ್ನೇಹ

 

Through time and change, we always find a way,
our bond stays pure, come night or day.
Unspoken love, no rule, no end,
the truest gift — a lifelong friend.
No fight, no pain can tear apart,
the smile they bring heals every heart.
When eyes meet, all worries bend,
for nothing’s realer than a friend.

ಕಾಲ ಬದಲಾಗಿದರೂ ದಾರಿ ಸಿಗುತ್ತದೆ,
ಸ್ನೇಹದ ಬಾಂಧವ್ಯ ಎಂದೆಂದಿಗೂ ಉಳಿಯುತ್ತದೆ.
ನಿಯಮವಿಲ್ಲದ, ನಿಸ್ವಾರ್ಥ ಪ್ರೀತಿ,
ಸ್ನೇಹವೇ ಜೀವನದ ನಿಜವಾದ ಗೀತೆ.
ಜಗಳವೂ ಬಂದು ಹಾದುಹೋಗುತ್ತದೆ,
ನಗು ಮುಖದಲ್ಲಿ ಪುನಃ ಅರಳುತ್ತದೆ.
ಕಣ್ಣುಗಳು ಭೇಟಿಯಾದ ಕ್ಷಣದಲ್ಲಿ,
ಹೃದಯ ಹೇಳುತ್ತದೆ — “ನೀನೇ ನನ್ನ ಸ್ನೇಹ!”

Only Once we love - ಒಮ್ಮೆ ಮಾತ್ರ ಪ್ರೀತಿ

It happens once… just once in a soul’s time,
when the heart forgets reason, rhythm, and rhyme.
A glance, a smile — and the world stands still,
the sky learns silence, the winds lose will.

You may meet a thousand faces again,
but never that one heartbeat the same.
For love — true love — doesn’t come twice,
it carves its name once, and stays for life.

Maybe they felt it, maybe they lied,
maybe they stayed, or maybe they died.
But that first fire, that sacred ache —
no truth, no fake, can ever break.

Years may pass, the seasons spin,
yet the echo of that love still lives within.
You fall just once — and though hearts may roam,
that one forever becomes your home.

ಒಮ್ಮೆ ಮಾತ್ರ… ಆತ್ಮ ಸ್ಪರ್ಶಿಸುವ ಕ್ಷಣ,
ಹೃದಯ ಮರೆತುಹೋಗುತ್ತದೆ ಲಯ, ತಾಳ, ಧ್ವನಿಯನ್ನ.
ಒಂದು ನೋಟ, ಒಂದು ನಗು — ಲೋಕ ನಿಲ್ಲುತ್ತದೆ,
ಆಕಾಶವೂ ಮೌನ, ಗಾಳಿ ನಿಂತು ನೋಡುವುದು.

ಸಾವಿರ ಮುಖಗಳು ಮತ್ತೆ ಎದುರಾದರೂ,
ಆ ಸ್ಪಂದನೆ, ಆ ತಡಿತ — ಮತ್ತೊಮ್ಮೆ ಬರುವುದಿಲ್ಲ.
ಪ್ರೀತಿ ನಿಜವಾದುದು — ಎರಡು ಬಾರಿ ಬರುವುದಿಲ್ಲ,
ಒಮ್ಮೆ ಬಂದು ಹೃದಯದ ಗೋಡೆಗೆ ಶಾಶ್ವತವಾಗಿ ಅಚ್ಚಾಗುತ್ತದೆ.

ಅವರು ಅನುಭವಿಸಿದ್ದಾರೋ, ಮೋಸಮಾಡಿದ್ದಾರೋ,
ಹಿಂದಿರುಗಿದ್ದಾರೋ, ಅಥವಾ ದೂರವಾಗಿದ್ದಾರೋ —
ಆ ಮೊದಲ ಬೆಂಕಿ, ಆ ನಿಶ್ಶಬ್ದ ನೋವು,
ಸತ್ಯವಾಗಲಿ, ಸುಳ್ಳಾಗಲಿ — ಎಂದಿಗೂ ಮಾಯವಾಗದು.

ವರ್ಷಗಳು ಹಾದರೂ, ಋತುಗಳು ಬದಲಾದರೂ,
ಆ ಪ್ರೀತಿಯ ಪ್ರತಿಧ್ವನಿ ಒಳಗೇ ನಿಲ್ಲುತ್ತದೆ.
ಒಮ್ಮೆ ಮಾತ್ರ ಬಿದ್ದರೂ, ಪ್ರೀತಿಯ ಆ ತಾಣ —
ಜೀವನದ ಅಂತ್ಯವರೆಗೂ ಆಗುತ್ತದೆ ನಿನ್ನ ಮನೆ.
