Main tumse fir shaadi karna chahta hu...

It's been more than 3 years since I married the love of my life, Meera and these years have been like magic, you feel you've been through everything yet you feel you've just opened the jar of romance. But the fact remains that three years down the line, I feel I've missed a lot of things that I would have loved to share side-by-side with my wife. A whole new set of pre-wedding and wedding photoshoot is one of them, a brand new re-honeymoon is another (this time at an exotic location and for more number of days) and there's a lot more I want to do. Here's a bucket list, written in my own, favourite poetic style.

Ek baar fir tumhe pehli baar dekhna chahta hu
tumhaari sooni aankhon mein intezaar dekhna chahta hu

Dosti ki khatti-meethi baaton se kab chatpata pyaar ho gaya
wo lamhein fir se jeena chahta hu

wo chhat par akele baatein karna, haste huye labon ko sanvaarna,
tumhari befikri ko ek baar fir dekhna chahta hu

yu kabhi chup-chup ke bin bataye anjaan shehar tak sair karna
us ishqaani hawaa ko fir choona chahta hu

haathon mein haath liye bhaagey they bheegtey huye jis shaam
us baarish ki thandi boondon mein fir nahana chahta hu

wo tang mohabbat ki raahein, judaaiyaan, akelapan aur tumse milne ki tadap
ye saare ehsaas tumhaare saath jeena chahta hu

wo saanson ka rukna aur haathon ka kasna, darr ke saaye mein din bhar rehna
wo manzar kitne hi kharaab they, par fir bhi fir se jeena chahta hu

shaadi se pehle ki wo andhiyaari raat, subha ka aanchal thaame huye soye hum,
us beinteha khumaar ka pyaala fir peena chahta hu

aur hanste-huye fere lena, aur shaadi ke baad engagement karna
wo utsukta fir mehsoos karna chahta hu...
main tumse fir shaadi karna chahta hu...
