बस थोड़ा सा , करलो यक़ीन ...

वादे ,
कितने किये थे वादे,
लगते थे मुम्क़िन सब इरादे,
पर कुछ तो था,
जो होना ही था,

दिल,
क्यों किया इतना यकीन,
कि  मिट गए सब निशाँ कहीं,
मुड़के भी देखूं तो क्या है,
सिर्फ रेत , पर कदम कहीं नहीं,

मिला,
हुआ वास्ता,
एक रूह से,
जुडी दास्ताँ,
पर दिलाऊँ  कैसे अब, 
वादों पे अपने यकीन,
क्योंकि टूटना वादों का,
देखा है तुमने और मैंने भी,

बस केहना है अब येही ,
की रास्ते हैं जुड़े,
कुछ तो है क़िस्मत का मक़सद,
जो युँ हाथ अब छोड़ा,
मिट जाएगा बचा वजूद,
बिखर जाऐंगी उम्मीदें मेरी,

बस थोड़ा सा , करलो यक़ीन ...

I Need to Tell My Heart

(c) Shilpa Sandesh

I need to tell my heart,
To cease a beat,
For I have to strum the strings,
Of,
Love....
I need to plead my heart,
For a moment, will you, freeze?
For I have to bring my soul to ease,
With,
Your,
Thoughts.....
So stop......break the pace,
Break the pace, come to a halt,
Just.......for........a moment....

Come Back Beyond Those Lines

(c) Shilpa Sandesh

Reasons,
Are all that you need,
To say that,
You don't love me,
Perfections,
Are all that I lack,
I saw you,
When you smiled at my back,
But did you see,
That I cried,
When
I
Looked away from you,
I cried,
As
I
Looked away from you,

Seasons,
Are all that we have,
To celebrate, togetherness,
Which we don't seem to have,
Moments,
Are not going to halt,
If we don't confess,
Our love,
This time would be past,

So darling don't let the misconceptions,
Don't let all the wrong assumptions,
Take away,
The love we have sought,
Come back beyond those lines,
I would cry no more,
And I promise,
That everything,
Would be fine....

I Love You

(c) Shilpa Sandesh

A glimpse of you,
From amidst the evening hues,
And my soul,
Sings,
With the joy,
Of being loved,

I love you,
For seeking me,
I love you,
For finding me,
I love you,
For holding on to me,
I love you,
Because you're the one for me,

A thought of you,
Like being bathed,
In the morning dew,
And my soul,
Sings,
All the promises,
All the vows,

Nothing,
Nothing,
Nothing can take away,
My breaths,
My soul,
My reasons to live,
Because all of this,
Is you....

Home

(c) Shilpa Sandesh

Home,
That home,
From where,
I've been away since long....

Home,
That home,
Where you be,
I've always belonged....

I've died countless times,
When all I could see,
Like a star,
In the sky, you shined,
Awaiting my return,
To the lands of divine...

Home.....
I've been away since long,
I've always belonged,
Home.....
I've always belonged,
And I will.... Soon be home......

An Extra Mile

(c) Shilpa Sandesh

Happiness is never,
Easy to be sought,
For it's a feeling,
Which can't be bought,
So tell me now,
What would you do, to wipe these tears,
So tell me now,
What would you do, to bring back those smiles,
Tell me now....

I try to sing,
The sweetest hymn,
But look at me,
This melancholy,
So tell me now,
What would you do, to bring back those laughs,
So tell me now,
What would you do, I want it all to be past,
Tell me now.......

Tell me now......
Would you.......
Tell me.....
Tell me now......

Darling,
Let me tell you,
To win back my smile,
Walk with me, an extra mile,
Walk with me,
An extra mile.........

I Don't Want To Fall

(c) Shilpa Sandesh

And here I rise,
Above, the forbidden skies,
Wings fluttering,
Heart thumping,
Soul breathing,
Destiny teasing,
What would happen,
If I fall?

And here I stride,
With your love as my guide,
Feet racing,
Courage raging,
Eyes crying,
Wait neverending,
What would happen,
If I fall.....

Destiny teasing,
Wait neverending,
Will you catch me,
Will you hold me,
Will you........
If I fall.......
If I fall........
If I fall.........
Help me......
I don't want to fall....
