tere dard ki aag aaj bhi na bujhaya humne

chehra logon ka utar gaya,
jab jhoot hi muskuraya humne,

dushmano se pyar hota chala gaya,
dooston ko jab aazmaya humne,

hoon tujhse bhi sharminda aye mere dil,
kisi ki bewafai pe tujhko rulaya humne,

muddatein beeth gayi kisi se juda huye,
dard ki aag ko aaj bhi na bujhaya humne.

main tannha hi rah gaya mohabbat ke makaan mein

aaj khud ko dekha hai akela maine iss jahan mein,
mera kuch nahi hai uske dil ke gulistaan mein,

jabse pehchana hai uske chehre ko be-nekaab,
dil bikhar gaya iss dard ke toofan mein,

woh to khud hi meri waadion se chali gayi,
main tannha hi rah gaya mohabbat ke makaan mein,

dard deti hai mujhe yun uski mohabbat ki har sada,
doob jaata hoon mein inn aanshuon ke sailaab mein...!!

na jaane aaj bhi mujhe usse itni mohabbat kyun hai

dil mein uske liye mohabbaat kyun hai,
uss bewafa ki dil ko chhahat kyun hai?

jisne diye zakham mujhko mohabbat mein,
uske naam se hi dil ko rahat kyun hai?

usne na rehne diya mujhe mere apno ka,
phir uske liye zamane se bagavat kyun hai?

main na dekh sakta hoon uski aankhein nam,
phir usko mujhe rulane ki izajat kyun hai?

sehta raha har sitam inam-e-mohabbat samajh,
uss be-gairat ke liye itni sarafat kyun hai?

maine ki thi mohabbat aise tutt ke usse,
usne chhorda mujhe phir uski ahaat kyun hai?

na hata saka uski tasveer main nigahon se,
aaj bhi mujhe usse itni mohabbat kyun hai? 

sab mohabbat ke mare huye the

mohabbat ke shaher mein ek dafa hum gaye, 
dekhi jo pyari surate to hum tham gaye,

zindagi mein the bahut ghum humne dekhe magar,
unki aankho se aisi pee ki hamare sab ghum gaye,

chadha hum pe unka nasha aisa ki,
dekhte dekhte unke deewane se hum ban gaye,

phir mohabbat ka asar aisa chhadne laga,
iss khel mein kafi maza humein aane laga,

magar hum umar ke mutabik abhi nadan the,
mohabbat jaan leleti hai iss baat se anjaan the,

jaise jaise aankhein milayi, woh shaks ankhe milane lagi,
phir majbooriyon ke naam pe humse nazare churane lagi,

tabhi ek din achanak woh humse aise door ho gayi,
zamane se lard jati thi kabhi,
aur aaj riwazo ke hatho majboor ho gayi,

hum uski judayi mein pal pal marne lage,
zindagi ko chahne wale dua ab mout ki karne lage,

suna rab ne.. humara farman manzoor kar liya,
khud ke pas bulaya aur duniya se door kar diya,

upar gaye to dekha sab mohabbat ke mare huye the,
waha to sab meri tarah hi zindagi se hare huye the,

sochta hoon ki mera hassrh shayad
aane wale ashiqon ko aagah karde,

mohabbat mein ab na honge woh andhe,
khuda un mein thodi akal bhar de....!! 

humein bhi huwa tha kisi se pyar

humein bhi huwa tha kisi se pyar,
aayi thi humari bhi zindagi mein bahaar,

lutaate the unpe hum chahatein hazaar,
jhum uthti thi ruh jab hota tha deedar.

jhuki jhuki nazron se hum karte the ikraar,
ishq ki pehalu mein aayi thi husun pe nikhaar,

par ab na pehali si zindagi hai na zindagi ki bahaar,
lutau kis par.. ab bhi chahatein hai beshumaar.

tardapti hai ruh par na hoti hai deedar,
hum to hain bechain karne ko ikraar,

woh ishq bhi kho gaya, kho gayi husun ki nikhaar,
zindagi mein rah gayi hai ab sirf intezaar,

bikhri huyi zindagi ko woh deti sawaar,
kaash aakar kehti.. unhein aaj bhi hai humse pyaar.

log khete hai ki badal gaya hoon

kuch log khete hai ki badal gaya hoon,
unko yeh nahi pata ki sambhal gaya hoon.

phele zuban khamosh hua karti thi,
ab dil ki baat sunna seek gaya hoon.

udaasi tanhai ki bhi mere chehre se jahlakti hai,
ab dard mein bhi muskurana seek gaya hoon.

phele bhi meri aadat dil jalane ki na thi,
ab shayed main bhi rangeen mijaaz ka ho gaya hoon.

yeh chahe aadha jhoot - aadha sach hi ho,
par kuch kuch dil ki bhi likhna sikh gaya ho. 

pehla pyar

mausam ki pheli barish sa,
bheega bheega hua pehla pyar.

bhule bisre huye kuch lamhon mein,
ghuta hua sa pehla pyar.

bahut purani ek dairy mein,
likha hua sa pehla pyar.

dhoker dekha , ashko se,
mit ta nahi hai phla pyar.

chahe gham ho, chahe khushi,
yaad aata bas pehla pyar.

dil ke sab rishton ko tola,
dost purana nikla pehla pyar.

mujhe door desh le jaao

aaj raat aashman ke chaand ko bulaoo,
sitaroon ko bulaoo, raat ki baharon ko bulaoo,

ki mujhe kuch kehna hai, ki mujhe kuch kehna hai,
mera dil rota hai aur aanshoon nahi aate,

meri ankhein num hain magar dikhaye nahi detin,
aawazein deta hoon magar sunaye nahin detin,

aye aashmaan ke chaand sitaro aoo,
mujhe door desh le jaao,

na dil raha hai na main raha hoon,

yoon hi be-wajah jee raha hoon,

bas yahi kehna hai,

aaj raat yahi kehna hai aoo,
mujhe door desh le jaao.

kabhi kisi ko dukhi na paau aisa khayaal de mujh ko

kabhi khud ko pehchaan na paau, aisa nakaab de mujh ko,
kabhi hosh mein aa hi naa paau, aisa sharaab de mujh ko.

sab dil lagaane waalo ka ek jaisa hi anjaam aakhir kyu,
kabhi yeh savaal kar na paau, aisa jawaab de mujh ko.

koshish to bahot ki par lagta hai mere bas ki baat nahi,
kabhi dard se ro na paau, aisa badalaav de mujh ko.

usme aakhir teri hi izzat bani rahegi hey bhagwan,
kabhi yeh ser zukaa na paau, aisa makaam de mujh ko.

aman, chain aur shaanti se bhara sab ka basera ho,
kabhi kisi ko dukhi na paau, aisa khayaal de mujh ko.

ab to likhate likhate yeh safar kat jaaye shayed,
kabhi yeh haath ko rok hi na paau, aisa kamaal de mujh ko. 

chain apna luta kar karoge bhi kya

dil kisi se laga kar karoge bhi kya,
chain apna luta kar karoge bhi kya,

zindagi begar yun hi gar taraste raho,
sapne aise saja kar karoge bhi kya?

dard unse kaho jo samajh bhi sake,
be-dilon ko suna kar karoge bhi kya,

kar rahe hain bahana woh gar neend ka,
yaron unko jaga kar karoge bhi kya?

andheron mein hi jinko khushi mil rahi,
unko sooraj dikha kar karoge bhi kya,

har taraf aag hai jaan lo sathiyon,
aap daman bachakar karoge bhi kya?

jisko sun kar zamana yeh hasta rahe,
dastan woh suna kar karoge bhi kya,

aazmauon unhe jo kehar da rahe,
muflison ko mita kar karoge bhi kya?

kuch nahi to raaj se yeh seekhlo,
nazar yun hi juka kar karoge bhi kya? 

I was different

as I stood that night, at some height,
having nothing to do, I put my mind at ease,

little did I know that, I would soon feel,
how it feels to watch a drama,
I was a part of a moment ago

for that while I just
felt I was different,

don’t know why,
but sure I was different.

for that moment I stood breathless,
to hear others drawin breath.

for that moment I remained still,
to see the restlessness around me,

for that moment I put emotions at bay,
to see the smiles or tears of other, 

around me and finally I realised in this life,
I been so pre-occupied that,

I could never see from a different perspective,
the drama going on around me.

ban naa saka main ek parinda

yeh kaisi zindagi hai, 

ruth si gayi mujhse, meri zindagi hai.
dukhi jeewan ki vyatha yahi,

kya kahun jo ab tak nahi kahi.

jis par kya viswas,

ussi ne vishwasghat diya.
jis par nyochawar kiya pyar,

usne bar-bar aaghat kiya.

ab to yahi sochta hoon ki,

na hum unki zindagi mein aate,
aur na hi ho pati yeh sab baatein.

kutton se bhi bad-ttr aaj insaan ho gaya hai,
pata nahi kahan brahma ki
kalpanao ka insaan kho gaya hai.

yeh duniya hi ban chuki ek darinda hai,
jisme insaniyat naam ka kuch nahi zinda hai.

mera dil ab tut chuka hai,
iss jeevan se bilkul ruth chuka hai.

har rishtey nate ab mujhse chut chuke hain,
jo kuch bhi tha mere paas,
woh to yeh duniya wale kab ke loot chuke hain.

mujhe to lagta hai ki
mujhse ahcha to woh parinda hai,
jo logon ke hathon mara jata hai,
kam-se-kam iss be-dard duniya se
mukti to pata hai.

ab jeevan mein koi iicha nahi,

kya pata kuch dino baad,
meri lash pardi mile yahin kahin.

ban na chahta tha main unmukt panchi,
par mil gayi mujhe manusya ki yoni,

ban naa saka main ek parinda,
aur yahin par ho gayi sabse bardi anhoni

aisi zindagi kisi aur ko na dena

jab koi bhi nahi saath hota hai, 

tab mera dil bhi rota hai.
jab kabhi bhi raat hoti hai, 

tab aanshon ki barsat hoti hai.

arman, aarzoo ki sanshein nikal rahi hai,
aaj meri umangon ki lashen nikal rahi hai.

har haushla ab mera dher ho raha hai,
charon aur bas andhera ho raha hai.

jo kuch maine saha hai, 

woh kisi se nahi maine kaha hai.

ab to dil ko bhi bhaa chuka hai itna rang yeh kala,

ki aankhein to ab dekh hi nahi pati hain ujala.

aye khuda tu mere zakhmon par aur namak chirak dena,
par aisi zindagi kisi aur ko na dena.

tannha akeli raaton ko

geeli palkein keh jaati hain,
tannha akeli raaton ko,

dhoondhta aisa humdum hoon jo,
rok de inn barsaaton ko,

thaam le soone haathon ko,
aankhon ki zubaani sunn le,

ishq ki saari baaton ko,
lafzon se kya byaan karun main,
iss dil ke jazbaaton ko.

zindagi ne kaha muskuraate huye

zindagi ne kaha, muskuraate huye,
mil to jaao kabhi, aate jaate huye,

woh bhi shayad pareshan tha meri tarah,
murd ke dekha to tha, ussne aate jaate huye,

aadmi ki hain bahut si majbooriyan,
yeh kaha ussne, mujhko sunaate huye,

apne vaade pe jin ko bahut naaz tha,
unko bhi dekha hai humne, baatein banate huye,

yaaron.. hum bhi manzil pe aa hi gaye,
thoda ladkhadaate huye, thoda dagmagaate huye.

ek aas lagaye baitha tha

ek roz musafir bhatka tha,
tanha tha udaas tha,
ek aas lagaye baitha tha.

na jaane aankhon se kitne,
sailaab bahaaye baitha tha.

uske haath mein kismat ki lakeerein hi na thi,
bas shayad, takdeer ke khayaal se hi,
jaan churaaye baitha tha.

kisi soch mein shayad gum tha woh,
bas tardapti chahon mein
maut ka intezar liye baitha tha.

mera mann manzil ke nishaan dhunde

ek aas liye, vishwas liye,
mera mann manzil ke nishaan dhunde,
manzil ki meethi pyaas liye,
mera mann manzil ke nishaan dhunde.

har kadam pe nirmam kaante hain,
hazaro ghum takdeer ne batein hain,
kadmon ke talle aakaash liye,
mera mann manzil ke nishaan dhunde.

bandhano se khud ko chhudana hai,
ab har zanjeer ko tord girana hai,
khul kar jeene ki aas liye,
mera mann manzil ke nishaan dhoonde.

avichal vichaar prerit karte,
sanskaar mujhe shobhit karte,
ek sthir-adig aatmavishwas liye,
mera mann manzil ke nishaan dhoonde.

pal pal jeevan ka samarpit hai,
inn palkon ka aansu arpit hai,
pal pal ka purwabhas liye,
mera mann manzil ke nishaan dhunde.

kaash mil jaate kahin nazrein bichhaye tum

saal beete.. dil se mere jaa na paye tum,
sham ki tannhai mein phir yaad aaye tum,

har subah paya tumhein khayalon mein apne pas,
raaton ko khawabon mein mere muskaraye tum,

lagte ho mere apne jabase tum ho door,
na jane kyon lagte the pahle kuch paraye tum,

pyar hum se behisab tha tumhein phir bhi,
jaane kyon hum se rahe nazarein churaye tum,

jab tak tum sath the shikway bhi sath the,
kuch nahin ho ab mohabbat k siwah tum,

thak gaya hoon zindagi ki rah mein,
kaash mil jaate kahin nazrein bichhaye tum. 

aye chand tujhe kya ho gaya hai

aye chand tu roo raha hai,
tujhe kya ho gaya hai?
sitaro se bhare iss jaha mein
tera kya kho gaya hai?

iss rang-birangi duniya mein,
kya khamosh rehna tujhe bhata hai?
jab bhi dekhta hoon tujhe... 

tu akela hi kyu nazar aata hai?

tu jaagta hai kyu..
jab sara jag soo jata hai,
kyu tanhaiyon ko tu apni,
mahfile banata hai?

har roz alag andaz mein tu
aise kyu nikalta hai,
itna vishal hai yeh aashma phir bhi,
tu ek hi raah pe kyu chalta hai?

badalo se ghira rahta hai tu har pal,
phir kyu teri pyaas hai baki,
sab kuch to hai tere pas,
phir kyu teri talaash hai baki?

apne bare mein ab tak humein,
tu ne kuch bhi to na batalaya hai,
kaun hai tu, kaha rahta hai,
kya aarzu hai teri,
kuch bhi to na jataya hai.

sunkar uski baat.. chand bola.
iss bhid bhari duniya mein
tumhara har jazbat mujhe sacha laga.
meri khamoshiyo ki awaz sunna chahte tum,
yeh jaan kar achha laga.

jiske dum se roshan hai yeh jahan,
ussi ka ek chhota sa hissa hoon.
kudrat ne jise apni badnasibi mein likkha tha,
main woh khushnasib kissa hoon.

samay ki be-dard chhoton se toda gaya sitara hoon,
niyati ki zimmedariyon se bandha hua,
phir bhi main aawara hoon.

zindagi ki raho mein  jo kabhi,
har kadam pe mere saath chala karte the,
aaj unki parchhaiya hi meri manjile hain,
main kabhi mehfilo mein tanha hua kerta tha,
aaj tanhaiyan hi meri mehfile hain.

haa.. yeh sach hai ki husn ke badlon se,
ghira rahta hoon main har pal,
unki nadaniyon se mere mann mein bhi hoti hai halchal.

par kya ghum ko rota hua dekhkar,
kabhi khushi muskurayi hai?

jaao sagar se poochho.. 

kya uske khaare jal ne kabhi kisi,
pyase ki pyas bujhayi hai?

iss ajnabi si duniya mein
jo dilati thi mujhe apnatva ka ehsaas,
mere dard ki aandhiyon mein gum ho jane wali,
uss boond ki hai mujhe talash.

main akela nahi rahta hoon,
tumhari aankho mein rashmo-riwazo ki dhul hai.
jise tum log chand pe laga dhabba samjhte ho,
woh meri  yaado ka muskurata hua phool hai.

ghum ke nahi yeh aanshu hai khushi ke,
 jo door se hi nazar aate hain.
jab bhi kabhi unke astitva se roobaru hota hoon main
khud-ba-khud aankh chhalak jaate hain.

mujhe dhudhne mein kisi ko koi taklif na ho,

isiliye hamesha ek hi raah pe chalta hoon.
tum jaise musafir apni raahe na bhatak jaaye,

bas isiliye sari raat.. main chiragon ki tarah jalta hoon.

yeh khamoshi lamha lamha mujhe dasti kyun hai

khushi ki chaah mein saza mujhe milti kyun hai
ummeedon ki shama jal kar phir bujhti kyun hai?

takdeer ka ye khel na jaane kab tak rulaayega,
jalte huye ashkon mein har shaam dhalti kyun hai?

yeh tardap, yeh bechaini, na jaane kaisi hai uljhan,
jitna suljhaayen isse, yeh utna hi ulajhti kyun hai?

kash-ma-kash mein ghiri yeh meri zindagi har pal,
honge nahi poore, woh khwaab bunti kyun hai?

kaun samjhega mere dukh, zubaan hai khamosh,
yeh khamoshi lamha lamha mujhe dasti kyun hai. 

apni barbaadi ka yeh kissa yaad aaya

sunlo meri kahani meri hi jubani,
kaisi ki barbaad mohabbat ne meri jawani,

woh din main kaise bhoolu jab aankh lard gayi thi,
woh bhi to ek jhalak mein raaj pe mar gayi thi,

dil ko bahut smajhaya ki naa kar tu apni manmaani,
par dil to thehra pagal kaise smajh pata woh baat syani,

khubsurti bala ki aankho mein tha maikhana,
use dekh kar to main yeh hi tha bol paya,

aab se main tera ho gaya hoon jane jana,
thoda sa woh shrmayi thoda sa main muskuraya,

us waqt laga aisa ki jaise swarg dharti pe utar aaya,
do char mulakaton mein mohabbat ne rang dikhaya,

naa aati thi usse neend na main hi so paya,
kuch ek hi dino mein hum ek dusre ke ban gaye,

jeena nahi juda hoke aise khyalat dil mein pal gaye,
ghanto ka safar kar ke jata tha uss se milne,

woh thi meri nadani jo krayi mujh se mere dil ne,
meri duniya tab behad rangeen ho gayi thi,

par mujhe kya pata tha ki mujh se galti sangeen ho gayi thi,
ek din bulaya mujh ko apne shehar me milne ka kar ke bahana,

magar uss din mujhe begane shehar mein aanshuon se pada nahana,
woh paas mere aayi do ghunt paani ke pee ke boli,

hum nadi ke woh kinare hain,

jo sath ho ker bhi kabhi ek nahi ho sakte, 

sanam mujhe bhool jaao, kal mujhe hai iss sehar se door jana,

sunna tha mera itna ki mujh pe aasman toot sa pada tha,
woh ro rahi thi mujh se lipat kar aur main chup chap sa khada tha,

sine se hata kar maine ek nigaah uss pe maari,
aankho se puchh rahe the usse hi...
woh wade woh kasame kya sab chal thi tumhari?

apni nigah jhuka kar rone lagi lipat kar,
humne bhi honsla sa kho diya aur roye uske samne toot kar,

kahne lagi woh humse ki humko maaf karna,
na karoge maaf to hum zillat se marr jayenge warna,

itna dagga kiya tha dil phir bhi na sambhla tha,
uski majbooriyo ke saye mein
chhupi be-wafayi ko nahi pehchanta tha,

kamzori thi humari ya uski chalaaki thi,
hum ruh chhord aaye the uske shahar mein,
aab to bas saans hi baaki thi,

usne phir ghar basaya,
kisi gair ko apna humsfar banaya,

waise to dil utt gaya tha jeene se par,
aapne maa-baap ko dekh kar raaj ne bhi dil ko samjhaya,

waise to bhool chuka hoon main uss bewafa ko,
magar aaj galti se uska ek tohfa dekha to,
raaj ko apni barbaadi ka yeh kissa yaad aaya.

pyar karne walon ko kabhi bhi judaa na karna

ek haseena thi ek deewana tha,
dono mohabbat karte the,

itni mohabbat karte the,
ek doosre ke bina rah na sakte the.

jab bhi mohabbat ki baatein hoti,
log unki baatein karte the,

dono ko duniya ki nazar lag gayi,
ek doosre se woh khafa ho gaye.

judaa huye to aise judaa huye,
ek doosre ki duniya hi saath le gaye.

dono milne ko tardapte rahe,
aur tardapte hi rah gaye.

dono ek doosre ko chahte the magar,
suruvaat kaun kare iss mein hi peechhe rah gaye.

waqt to kisi ke liye rukta nahin,
dono waqt se bahut door ho gaye.

mudatein ho gayi thi unko mile huye,
kudrat ne bhi aisa khel khela ki,
achaanak ek din ek doosre ke saamne aa gaye.

ek doosre ko dekh dono ke lab sil gaye,
bina kuch kahe bahut kuch kah gaye.

bas ek doosre ke aagosh mein lipat gaye,
ashk jo bahne lage to bahte chale gaye.

dono ko rote dekh hamara bhi dil roo diya,
hamare haath khud-ba-khud aapas mein jurd gaye,

aur hum khuda se yeh kahne lag gaye..
aye khuda karta hoon iltja tujhe,

aise pyar karne walon ko kabhi bhi judaa na karna,
duniyaan bhar ki khushiyaan unki jholi mein daal dena!

meri gazalein tujhe chirdati hogi

mere gazalon mein tumhein jarur bagawat ki bu aati hogi,
behakti hawa bhi yehi tumhein baar baar jataati hogi,

mere labjo mein kahin uska dard to nahi chuppa hai koi,
main sochta hoon har baar kya yeh khalish usko satati hogi?

aye dil tu sunn to jara woh madhur geet ki jhankaar,
doori kahi kisi ke khusiyon ke lamhe ki baraat jaati hogi.

sukh gaye aanshu mere dil ki chandani ke rote rote,
aye raat ab tu kiske aanshuon mein nahati hogi?

shab-aye-ghum kya, khusiyon ki saugaat kya, aur bahare kya,
aise mausam mein tannhai bhi tujhko jalati hogi,

mere labjon ko to unke ott pard lete hi honge,
ab aalam hai ki meri gazalein hi tujhe chirdati hogi. 

jeevan ek musafir khana hai

jeevan kya hai.. ek musafir khana hai,
saalon se kahi iss dil mein basa yeh raaz purana hai.

nazron ke darwaze se dil mein utar jaate hain,
log iss dil ki zameen par musafir ban guzar jaate hain.

beete hue kal ke saaye mein yaadon ka taraana hai,
jeevan kyaa hai? ek musafir khaana hai.

humne apna sab kuch khoya tere pyaar ke piche

humne apna sab kuch khoya tere pyaar ke piche,
fizaon se ho gaye begane hum bahar ke piche,

ab isse bard kar khush-naseebi humari aur kya hogi,
unka aashiyana aabaad hai humare veerane ke piche,

tamaam umar humari bas isse soch mein guzri,
kya wajha rahi hogi aakhir unke inkaar ke piche,

dub gaye hum isse kash-m-kash mein yaaro,
sahil ke piche bhaage ya majhdhaar ke piche,

ek halke se hawa ke jhonke ne gira diya usko,
barson se khade the hum jis deewaar ke piche,

humari zindagi bebasi ki daastan ban ke reh gayi,
ek naya intezaar mila humein tere har ekraar ke picche,

raaj phulon ke khile chehre se fareb na khana,
zakham hazaron chhipe hain yaha har khaar ke piche. 

jaane kab dekha tha unko

yeh safar kitna kathi hai, raasto ko kya pata,
kaise kaise hum baache haadso ko kya pata.

aandhiya chalti hai to phir sochti kuch nahi,
tuta hai paed kitne aandhiyo ko kya pata.

aapni marzi sa woh chuumi, apne maan se chord gayi,
kis kadar be-bas hai gul, titliyo ko kya pata.

ek pal mein raakh kar gayi woh kisi ka ashiyana,
aur kaise banta hai ghar, biglio ka kya pata.

aaina yeh sochta hai, saach kaha karta hai woh,
aur unka chehra par hai chehra, aaino ko kya pata.

jaane kab dekha tha unko, aaj tak unke hain hum,
aur keemti kitna the woh paal, un paalo ko kya pata.

jaise woh hain hum to aisa ho nahi sakte,
hum unhein kitna chahte hain, dushmano ko kya pata.

kisi ko dil se bhulana aasa nahi hota

kisi ko dil se bhulana itna aasa nahi hota,
pal do pal mein zindagi ka faisla nahi hota,

dil ke jalne se jalta hai aashiyana bhi,
kehte hain log iss aag mein dhua nahi hota.

ek woh hi na ho sake humare warna,
duniya mein hone ko kya kya nahi hota.

teri yaad mein rota hoon barsaat mein,
yun mere ashko ka kisi ko pata nahi hota.

jab jee chahe chale anaa mere dil mein,
yeh aisa ghar hai jis mein darwaza nahi hota.

utha leta chhahat ki laash barhe khusi se,
gar mere kandho pe mera zanaza nahi hota.

bewafai ka ilzaam humare sar nahi hota,
gar tere ghar ka log andha nahi hota.

janta hoon mere dard se kagaz ro parega,
issi darr se kush likhne ka hosla nahi hota.

pyar mein zakham khaye hain raaj ne yaaro,
zamane mein sabke saath aisa hadsa nahi hota.

chalo unhein bhi apna hosla bata dein

chalo unhein bhi apna hosla bata dein,
patharoon ke shaher mein shishe ka ghar bana dein.

sahiloon pe kya jeena dar dar ke,
chalo kissi din samadaroon mein panha lein.

unke shaher mein sans leina mushkil hai agar,
chalo phir koi naya shaher basa lein.

anderon mein dar lagne laga hai agar,
chalo phir suraj ko apna pata dein.

jo kahete hain hum ne bewfa-e ki hai,
chalo phir usse bhi aainaa dekha dein.

muddat se jag rahi hain yeh ankhein,
chalo kissi din isse bhi sula dein.

jo dhoonta hai manzil ek umra se,
chalo phir usse bhi raasta bata dein.

unko teri shayari se shayad nafrath hai raaj,
chalo phir apni sari ghazalein jala dein.

woh ehsaas ab bhi hai

ha yaad hai mujh ko woh din,
din bhar main uski betabi ko mehsus kerta raha,
aur usse bhi apne kuch haqikaton se ru-ba-ru kerata raha.

uski baaton mein ek halchal thi,
meri aankhon mein jugari raat ke
khawb ki usse chu lene ki hasrat thi,

dopehar ki us dhup mein kabhi mere ghar wale bulate,
to kabhi uske gharwale usse ander aane ko kehte,

par hum abhi aa rahe hain keh kar
kuch der aur baatein kerne lagte,
ek dusre ke sath mille waqt mein
mohabbat ke ehsas mein bikherne lagte,

chalo ab chalna hai keh kar hum jaate jaate rukh jaate,
ghadi dekh kuch der aur baatein kar le soch kar phir kho jaate,

jo bandhan humein rokk raha tha
woh hamari dhardkano ka saaz tha,
jo kabhi mere laffjon ki
to kabhi uski nigahon ki aawaz tha,

sham ko achanak woh mujhe raah mein mil gayi,
usse dekhte hi meri muskaan khusi se khil gayi,

mujhe dekhte hi daggmaga gaye uske kadam,
jab maine apna haat bardhaya to usne tham liya,

phir ek minute rukna keh kar
usne mujhe chahat ka paigaam diya,

uske haath mere haathon mein tha,
na maine chorda na usne chordne ki chaahat jatayi,
hum bhare bazar mein khade hain,
na chahate huye bhi usne mujhe iss baat ki yaad dilayi,

sirf kuch lammhein the hamare pas, ek duje ko dekhne ke,
bahut kuch kehna tha usse par lab kuch bol hi nahi sake,

jaate huye mera ajnabi ek chaahat ka nazarana de gaye,
uski betabi ki woh mithas ab bhi hai,
mere haath par uske labbon ka woh ehsaas ab bhi hai.

it takes courage to feel your own pain

it takes strength to be firm,
it takes courage to be gentle.

it takes strength to stand guard,
it takes courage to let down your guard.

it takes strength to be certain,
it takes courage to have doubt.

it takes strength to fit in,
it takes courage to stand out.

it takes strength to feel a friend’s pain,
it takes courage to feel your own pain.

it takes strength to hide your own pains,
it takes courage to show them.

it takes strength to endure abuse,
it takes courage to stop it.

it takes strength to stand alone,
it takes courage to lean on another.

it takes strength to survive,
it takes courage to live

it takes strength to love,
it takes courage to be loved.

woh yaadein hain jo hum gungunate hain

woh yaadein hain jo hum gungunate hain,
mehfil apni tannhai se sajate hain.

zinda hain ab intezaar mein unke,
dekhkar unko saansein tham baith jaate hain.

je rahe hain zindagi apni, khwaabon ki duniya mein,
par ashkon ki tufaan mein woh khwaab bhi dubb jaate hain.

ab roshani bhi andhere ki talash mein pard gayi hai,
gham ki nami mein palkein bhi jhuk jaate hain.

dhundun kaise khushiyan.. yeh hain dard ki paighaam,
khuda kya kare ab.. hassi mein bhi anshu nikal jaate hain.

woh yaadein hain jo hum gungunate hain,
mehfil apni tannhai se sajate hain.

ek baar milna chahata hoon

sunnana chahata hoon,
apna haal-e-dil bayan karna chhahta hoon,
lekin sunne ko koi bhi nahi..!


jaana chahta hoon,
tumse door, tumhare khayalon se door,
lekin aise koi jagah hi nahi..!

dekhna chahta hoon,
tere tasveer ko khawab banake dekhna chahta hoon,
aur uss khawab mein apne aap ko khona chahata hoon.

marrna chahata hoon,
hazar baar marr ke bhi ek baar jeena chahata hoon,
tere pyaar ke ehsaas ko phirse paana chahata hoon.

kabhi milo mujh se is tarah

kabhi milo mujh se is tarah
ki faasla koi na ho…
chalo sath sath us taraf
humein jaanta koi na ho…

jaha tum hi tum ho har taraf
aur mujh jaisa koi na ho…
jaha manzilein ho har taraf
aur rastaa koi na ho…

jaha purti ho har khawaab ki
aur khawaab sa koi na ho…
jaha mera sirf tum hi tum
aur dosra koi na ho…

kare baatein baishumar hum
aur mamla koi na ho…
tera haath ho mere hath mein
aur sikawe apna koi na ho…

jaha mausam itna hassin ho
hawan mein nami si ho…
dhalta huwa sa suraj ho
aur charoon aur bundein jami si ho.

jaha chandni ki thndak ho
aur raat bhi thami si ho…
baikar si koi baatein na ho
har baat dil se jurdi bhi ho…

kabhi milo mujh se is tarah
ki fasla koi na ho…

a you which makes you different from millions

let that white horse of thought
with the wing of idea
run into that void.

let those drops of your thoughts
develop into sea of your belief
your thought and you…!

let yourself be

drenched with your trow,
let yourself be

enlightened with your ideas,

let yourself be complete you,
a ‘you’ which makes you
different from millions.

being inside the bubble
of your belief,
indifferent to others, 

others and all..

and every others...!

let yourself flaunt in world
of your belief, your values,
the world that loves you
and you love yourself…!

lets rise, 

rise up to yourself
rise for yourself,
where you are on the
clouds of your belief,
just shred that mask
covering you.

let yourself expose to your
inner world lying within you,
let yourself accquaint with you
where its you, you, and only you...!
