Hum kal chale jaayenge,
Hum aapke saath kal bhalaiyi na ho par hum chupke se aapki aakhon mein apni yaadein de jaayenge!
Jab jab aap hume yaad karenge toh hum aapki aakhon mein aasun ban kar nikal aayenge,
Aur jab yaad nhi karenge, tab aapke dil ke kisi kone mein halke se chup jaayenge!
Hum kal chale jaayenge!
Hume aap se pyaar kitna, yeh hum nhi jaante,
Par hum aapke bina reh nhi paayenge!
Aap mile toh sahi, varna apki yaad mein hum jeete jee mar jaayenge!
Hum kal chale jaayenge!
Yeh dooriyon ka gum, aasuon se bhi zyada bhaari hota hai, par iss gum ko pina har aashiq ka kaam hota hai,
Inn aasuon ko toh hum jaise taose pee jaayenge, kintu aapse yeh dooriyon ka gum seh nhi paayenge!
Lekin hum bhi ishwar ke haathon majboor hai, na chahte hue bhi 'Hum kal chale jaayenge'.!

On a dusky silent night I entered into a desolated campus.
Wrecked building, inoperative labs, conked basketball courts, hanging electric wires and faulty switches filled up the campus.
Holding a red rose in my hand I walked through the corridors searching for someone.
Again and again I yelled out a name but I got no response.
Agitated and tired I sat on a bench.
Several thoughts ran into my mind but I paid attention to none.
I just wanted to find to find you anyhow.
A once I started running.
Screaming and shouting your name I ran in the corridor.
I searched for you in the class rooms, labs and store.
I went crazy, I went insane but couldn’t find you.
Gasping but still running I once again called out your name.
And, to my surprise this time a voice prompted, “You can never find her. You can never get her. You commited a mistake and you lost her. Lost her forever”.
I broke down on my knees crying and yearning your name.
I came up to meet you. I wanted to say a sorry.
I wanted to find you to tell you that I love you and I need you.
I wanted you back.
But, I ended up finding you nowhere.
The things I wanted to say got buried with me.
The rose in my hand withered and so did I.

Lying straight on the bed, i look up at the darkness filled ceiling.
Strands of silver moonlight from the window breaks the black silence of the room.
The lazy cold breeze blowing inside the room chants Aerosmith.
''I dont wanna close my eyes, i dont wanna fall asleep. Cz i'd miss you, babe and i dont wanna miss a thing''.
I put my hands behind my head remembering the song, remembering you in it.
I lay numb, still awake.
With the song still on my mind, flashes of memory strikes me.
The days i spent with you were the most beautiful days of my life.
Those cozy nights always had something special in them which made me felt complete.
Those long walks on the deserted streets were always exciting.
Those warm cuddles were always relaxing.
Those late night chats were always sweet.
But now,
When you are no more, i just lay numb and realise that those nights were special only because they had you in them.
Your serene voice still echoes in my ears.
Your pretty face still fills my eyes.
But i cnt find you anywhere.
You're gone.
Away from this world, away from me.
You have already resided in your grave, sleeping peacefully but i hav'nt slept for years.
Every night i just lay numb,
I think of you, i think of us.
And this is how i spend my sleepless and lonely nights.
