You take my heart away...!!!

I heard some sound, I got up, switched on the side lamp and looked at the time. Night is about to break into dawn, late night early morning kind of wee hours. I am still wondering, what the sound could be. When again I heard some noise. I got up from the bed and started walking towards the window. The sound was getting clear now, it felt like heavy breathing. I noticed two shadows behind the trees, lying hand in hand under the soft light of full moon.

I got nearer to the window pane and tried to see more clearly. She was young and so was he, it seemed like they have known each other for ages. She was moving close to him and he, he was quietly running his fingers in her long dark hairs. They sat like that for long, something was in her eyes, and he was trying to read those deep eyes.

When suddenly she turned towards the window, our eyes met, I was taken aback as she smiled at me, I noticed she was me.

Yes, it was me; with you, tightly embraced in your arms and you were looking into my eyes, as you were asking to "sweep me off my feet". 

I woke up fully and looked at the wall clock, it was quarter to four, I realized, I was only dreaming.

"But don't they say that the morning dreams come true..."

"कुछ खुमारी है नींद की

या शायद खुली हुई हैं आँखें,

नींद के आगोश में डूब रही हूँ

या खुली आँखों से देख रही हूँ
सपना कोई  

मैं सोई हूँ

पर मेरा सपना जागता है....

है रात का अँधेरा कहीं

घने जंगलों का साया है

मचल रही हूँ तेरी बाँहों में ऐसे

जैसे काले मेघों में कोई

मयूर नाचता है....

कुछ नहीं छुपा है तुझसे

मेरी हर कैफियत से तू है वाक़िफ़

ये रवानी,ये हौसले, ये सैलाब तेरे लिए

तू इस दिल का
हर राज़ जानता है....

डूब रहा है तू भी इस दरिया में

उतर रहा है धीरे धीरे मेरे सीने में

तेरी दस्तरस में है

मुहोब्बत मेरी

और तू मुझसे

मेरी ही रज़ा मांगता है.... "
