Dil Ka Platform
A Broken Heart And A Smile
Thik Karein Hum
Aa ek dusre ko thik karein hum
Thodi dosti se, thode pyaar se…
Aa ek dusre ko thik karein hum
Thoda dil se, thoda dimaag se…
Aa ek dusre ko thik karein hum
Thoda Dhoop se, thoda chaanv se…
Aa ek dusre ko thik karein hum
Thoda hansi se, thoda aansoon se…
Aa ek dusre ko thik karein hum
Thoda kal se, thoda aaj se…
Aa ek dusre ko Insaan karein hum
Chupte hue andar ke shaitaan se…
जिस दिन/ That Day
Hey…
I can talk to trees for hours
I can hold a roundtable with dogs
I can solve an argument of bees
Buzzing around sunflowers
I can converse with a sexist rickshaw driver in his dialect
I can sing ‘Afreen Afreen’ with a taxi driver who has 5 grandchildren
I can talk to Gulzar sahaab after being a bit starstruck
I can debate with Arnab (PS: If he is sleeping)
I can fight with bhakts
I can intellectually masturbate with pseudo-intellectuals
I can hold a seminar for pseudo feminists
I can stand in front of 444444444 people after a normal panic attack
But your ‘Hey’ with three ellipses
Sends all the shivers possible down my spine…
Before Words
Before words
There lives a feeling
Before words
There lives a sensitivity
Before words
There lives an image
Before words
There lives a melody
Before words
There lives a collective unconscious
Before words
There lives a soul
I just find them a perfect home-
