Somewhere Within Me

  Abhi Mujh Mein Kahin from the new Agnipath is a song most of us like. The feelings it generates of tenderness, longing and rediscovery are too delicate. Amitabh Bhattacharya and Ajay-Atul along with Sonu Nigam have created magic. I have attempted to write on similar lines.

Somewhere within me, still, you breathe,
A whisper soft the winds don’t sheath.
Though time has tried to dim your light,
You bloom in shadows of the night.

A touch, a glance, a fleeting sigh,
You taught my silent soul to cry.
I’d buried dreams beneath the frost,
But in your warmth, no hope was lost.

I feared the joy—it felt too rare,
Like morning dew too shy to dare.
Yet in your smile, the world stood still,
And love returned against my will.

You didn’t ask, you didn’t plead,
You simply gave what hearts most need.
A moment’s peace, a breath so true,
A chance to feel the sky turn blue.

Now even pain feels strangely sweet,
Where sorrow and my heartbeat meet.
For once I lived, if just a while,
Inside the shelter of your smile.

So if you go, or fade away,
Know you were mine one golden day.
And somewhere deep, beyond the rain,
You’ll stir my soul to life again.
