Kora Kagaz means a blank page, and a blank page can be used by anyone to express their emotions, feeling, and experiences in whichever form they would like to. So, here are some poetries which is also a form of expressing emotions, feelings and experiences, to which people can relate in different ways at different points of time. I hope my poetries would be relatable to people reading them.

Just This Time
Did you hear that shattering sound,
It was my heart,
Doesn't value a single pound.
Unbothered about the careless world,
I just wanna cry out loud.
People I love doesn't even care,
Who cares are in despair.
Gave up upon me long time ago,
You tell, is it fair?
Wanted someone to hold me when I cry,
Tell me comforting words,
Be with me when I again try.
Touch me softly in their embrace,
When I wave them a goodbye.
But things doesn't fall in place every time,
Not asking for more, just this time,
Can you be just with me,
Rest will heal with time........

YOUR MEMORIES
Memories knocking on the door,
Heart wants to get flooded,
Mind is saying 'NO'.
They are sweet and sour,
Don't want to give them life,
Not when you are so far.
Made peace with them,
Don't wanna get rid of them,
But sometimes they come in a way,
That I want to run away from them.
I smile when they remind me of your love,
My heart clenches, what have you done?
Eyes filled with salty water,
That's how you left me,
Broken in chunks.
But I cherish all of them,
Don't wanna forget any of them,
Neither I love, nor do I hate you,
A chapter of my life,
That's how I preserve them.

ये दिल
हज़ारो ख्याल बुनता है ये दिल,
लहरों के तूफ़ान में बह भी जाता है ये दिल |
काश तुम समझ पाते इसकी बेचैनी, इसकी तड़प को,
तुमसे ना जाने कितने सवाल करना चाहता है ये दिल |
ख्वाहिशे तो बहोत करता है ये दिल,
चाहते भी इसकी है कामिल,
पर ज़माने से हार जाता है ये दिल,
हार का जशन भी अकेले हि मनाता है ये दिल |
मैखाने कि शराब सा है ये दिल,
बटता सब में है, धडकता किसी-किसी में है ये दिल |
मोहबत के सरूर में पागल हो जाता है ये दिल,
नशा जो उतरे तो सूखा दरिया हो जाता है ये दिल |
समंदर के पानी से भी खारा,
गुड से भी मीठा,
जहर से भी नशीला,
नशा इश्क़ का,
सब सह लेता है ये दिल,
पर मेहबूब की बेवफाई से बिखर जाता है ये दिल |
ज़माने भर के ताने भी सुनता है ये दिल,
खुद को समझाने कि लाख कोशिशे भी करता है ये दिल,
मगर समझ ना पाया ज़माना इस दिल को,
ये समझ कर भी बहोत रोता है ये दिल |
चाँद सितारों कि बातें तो करता है ये दिल,
आसमानों कि ऊँचाइयों में भी रहता है ये दिल,
पर हकीकत से भी वाक़िफ है ये दिल,
वो क्या है ना,
अब इतना मासूम नहीं रहा ये दिल |

WAITING (2)
This is a beautiful night,
It's quite and dark,
No one to say a word,
No one, anything to ask.
Hearing the dogs bark,
Sky without the stars,
The moon is visible,
Not full, only half.
Wind blowing, trees move,
Birds sleeping,
Are you awake too?
Noise of thoughts, in the silent night,
Kills the hope, which wants to bud inside,
Waiting for someone to arrive,
To share this night,
My heart counting zero to nine,
No one yet arrived.
All lights off, fine,
No ray of hope to shine,
Waiting for the sun to rise,
In a different way,
All waste of time...

WAITING
It feels so light,
No boundations, no sight,
No expectations, like a free kite.
Holding a glass of wine,
Till the sun shines,
Waiting for someone,
Counting zero to nine.
Nine is never mine,
What's mine never shines,
What shines never find,
What's find never mine.
Sunrise to moonrise,
Blankness of body to mind,
Heart stabbed with pine,
"I am all fine".
Feels like a corpse lying,
To sleep peacefully, I am trying,
It goes away denying,
Few breaths are left behind.
Still counting zero to nine,
Waiting for the time,
Everything will turn black,
And it would all be fine.

अच्छा चलता हूँ !
माना कि तेरे साथ चल नहीं पाऊँगा ,
माना कि तेरे साथ हँस नहीं पाऊँगा |
तेरे आँसू, तेरे गम बाँट नहीं पाऊँगा ,
पर तेरा हि हिस्सा बनकर, तुझमे हि बस्ता जाऊँगा |
जाना तो होगा मुझे इस जहान को छोड़ कर ,
खुदा के घर से आया है बुलावा शायद कुछ सोचकर |
तेरे ख्वाबो, हमारे सपनो, अपने वादो को तोड़ कर ,
पर रहूँगा तेरे दिल में हमेशा एक हसींन वक्त बनकर |
इन खूबसूरत आँखों का दरिया हम पर मत बहाना ,
ये बेशुमार मोहब्बत की दौलत हम पर ना लुटाना ,
थाम लेना किसी का हाथ तु ,
और उसमे हि अपना जहान बसा लेना |
तेरे होंठो कि मुस्कुराहट देख, मैं खिल जाऊँगा ,
तेरी आँखों में खुशियों कि चमक देख, मैं तृप्त हो जाऊँगा |
तू जिएगी, तो मैं भी जी जाऊँगा ,
मैं तुझ में हि हूँ, तुझमे हि बसता जाऊँगा |
याद कभी आए मेरी तो चले आना हमारे मकबरे पर ,
मैं तो तेरे गले कि तावीज बन कर, तुझे सलामत करता जाऊँगा |
तेरी साँसे मेरी रूह की धड़कनें है ,
जिस दिन तू ये जहान छोड़ कर जाएगी ,
मैं तुझे आसमान में हि मिल जाऊँगा |

ME or YOU
I was young when I started writing poetries,
My feelings on a paper, were my priorities.
It felt good to give them words,
I was relieved to see them on the paper.
I shared a few of them with you,
You appreciated me, that feeling was new.
Your praises kept me going on,
Your clapping hands made me want it more.
But suddenly your hands stopped and I was confused,
You didn't like my work, that was your excuse.
That's when the realization hit me,
I was writing for you, and was not me.
Now, I don't know, what should I do?
Should I write myself, or what you want me to?
And I am really confused,
Is it me, or still you?

DARKNESS
Give me your hand and pull me out,
Before this darkness swallows me down.
It's very deep and dark here,
I can't breathe because of fear.
I am floating in air, like there's no gravity,
And it can keep me like this for eternity.
There's not even a single ray of light,
No sun of hope that can shine bright.
My body is curled up like a cotton ball,
Can't feel anything, just small.
I am lifeless, but still can breathe,
Will you help me and make me release?
Because I just need a hand to pull me out,
Before this darkness completely swallows me down.

STRANGERS
We were strangers, when I first met you,
You didn't even give a look, and I was already in to you.
Some feelings came to me, I don't know why,
And they were growing every minute passing by.
I realized you were all alone,
So was I, ready to get along.
That was the first time I asked for your name,
You chuckled cutely which drew me insane.
A beautiful girl with a beautiful name,
Like I was waiting from ages for the same.
We became friends, and were with each other without any rest,
Now love makes our heart melt.
I hope we can stay beside each other till eternity,
And be in love whole heartedly.
