new year ka intezaar

12 mahino ka intejaar,
phir tum aate ho har saal,
dilon ke beech dooriya,
kuch palon ke liye hi sahi,
mita dete ho har saal,

har koi ek dusre se,
happy new year,
kehne ko hai bekaraar,
mehfilein zama dete ho,
nacha dete ho har saal,

gujre waqt ka andhera,
mita dete ho har saal,
nayi ummeedein,
naye armaan sabke dilon mein,
jaga dete ho har saal,

ab aa bhi jaao na,
mat karwao intezaar,
tere swagat ko,
hum sab hai taiyaar.

lamha-lamha beet gaya yeh saal

lamha-lamha beet gaya yeh saal,
dekho kaisa hai yeh kamaal. 

har jeewan hai, ek mumm,
har ek saans hai, ek sawaal. 

sab ka dard hai dil mein mere,
kaise rakhon mein apna khayaal. 

uljhan se do-chaar sabhi hain,
jeewan sab ka ek babaal. 

nafrat ka yeh zeher na pheley,
pehlay usko dil se nikaal. 

pyaar ka laava mere ander,
iska mere dil mein ubaal. 

be-soor mere geet hain ab,
jamti nahin hai koi taal. 

raaz macha hai toofaan dil mein,
main hi jaanu mera haal.

jo aisa na ho to kya hoga

unke deedar pe bhi jo barsaat na huyi, to kya hoga,
lab khamosh par ankhon se baat na huyi, to kya hoga.

cham-chamate hue sitaare, khushnuma chaand,
rehmatein falak ki hamare saath na huyi, to kya hoga.

sandali saansein, makhmali farsh, narm hawayein,
aise mehekte phoolon ki saugaat na huyi, to kya hoga.

kalaayiyon ka thar-tharaana, palkon ka jhukana,
khwahishon se jo sharm ki maat na huyi, to kya hoga.

sab khwaab hain, sab hasratein hain, saare khayaal 
jo kabhi aisi haseen raat na huyi, to kya hoga.

woh raat bhi tannha thi yeh raat bhi tannha hai

woh raat bhi tannha thi yeh raat bhi tannha hai,
dil mein jo baat thi, woh baat bhi tannha hai.

dil ke aasmaan mein, udaasi ka andhera hai,
gham ke andheron ka ab na koi savera hai,

ankhon mein aanshuon ki barsaat bhi tannha hai,
woh raat bhi tannha thi, yeh raat bhi tannha hai.

bujha hua chaand hai, woh khamosh kinaare,
na neend hai apni, no koi humaare.

baadalon ki taaron se mulaakaat bhi tannha hai,
woh raat bhi tannha thi, yeh raat bhi tannha hai. 

yeh bodh sada jeewan mein ho

yeh deh alag hai, main hoon alag,
yeh bodh sada jeewan mein ho,

nirlipt rahe hum duniya se,
ke jaise kamal keechad mein ho.

apna parichay bhool gaye hain,
swany ko hi kaya maan rahe hain.

jad ki iss maaya ko chordo,
ke dhyaan sada chetan mein ho. 

nirlipt rahe hum duniya se,
ke jaise kamal keechad mein ho.

deh hain nashwar tu avinash,
kyu naa samjhe baat jara si.

aatam to amar hai deh nahi,
ke jalna isse marghat mein ho.

nirlipt rahe hum duniya se,
ke jaise kamal keechad mein ho.

nobody know how far it goes

nobody knows how it got there
the door in the side of the rock
always open. 

nobody knows if the stairs go down or up
does up lead to happiness?
does down lead to sorrow?

nobody knows if there is a light
at the end of the hall
waiting to be turned
on or off .

nobody know how far it goes
forever or does it stop?

nobody knows how it got there
the door in the side of the rock.

its been really long..

its been so long that I had a good night sleep,
its been so long that I had a beautiful dream, 

its been really long... yeah!

since I felt the morning dew on my cheeks, 
since I felt the warmth of your hands,
since I felt the glow in my brown eyes, 
since I felt the softness of the roses,

its been really long.. yeah! 

since I felt your fingers through my hair,
since I felt your smile light up my life,
since I felt your eyes looking at me,
since I felt your lips kissing me, 

its been really long.. I wonder

how life changes in a matter of moments,
how people change their colors so soon,
how relations loose their glow with time, 

I really wonder…

what if things were fine,
what if you really loved me
what if I was a little lucky, 

but its been really long,
since I last dreamt of these false hopes.

chahne par bhi na bhool paaye, lakh jo bhulaya humne

jinke-kan kan mein thi bewafaai ki khushbu,
dil ke aangan mein poudha aaisa mehkaya humne.

gir gaye woh khud hi aapni nazaroo se doston,
jab unka diya zakhm unhi ko dikhaya humne. 

bhale hi khud rote rahe hum sadda sitam se unke,
kabhi kissi baat par unko na rulaya humne. 

yaadein chali aati hain unki jab bhi tannha hote hain,
chahne par bhi na bhool paaye, lakh jo bhulaya humne. 

aaj woh hi sikhlate hain zamane mein tannha rehna,
jinhein kabhi yeh zaalim pyaar tha veeraan zindagi ka,
issliye baad unke saathi, mout ko banaya humne.

pucha jab kabhi humse raaz doston ne khamoshi ka,
aapni mohabbat ka ek alfaaz na batayaa humne.

sab loggo ne yahe jutai doulat zamane bhar ki,
khushiya ke baadle bas ghum hi tha jo jutaaya humne.

tum kabhi na karna mohabbat deewano ki tarha,
har aashiq ko iska kaaran bataya humne.

who, where, what are you?

sometimes I find you a reality,
sometimes a dream,
and sometimes you become an illusion.

who are you?

sometimes I find you deep within me,
sometimes you are around me,
and sometimes you are lost.

where are you?

sometimes I find you touching my heart,
sometimes holding my hand,
and sometimes you are nowhere to be seen.

what are you?

sometimes I find my heart speaking to you,
sometimes my ears listen to you,
and sometimes I crave for your voice.

how are you?

sometimes I find you to be a part of me,
but I always want to be a part of you,
sometimes I find it a fact
and sometimes fake.

who am I to you?

life is like a pack of cards..

life is like a pack of cards..

when fall in love.. its alll hearts,
when married.. its all flowers,

when rich.. its all diamonds,
and when dead.. its all spades.

adatan tumne kiye vaade, adatan humne aitbaar kiya

hans rahi thi yeh duniya, 

jab mera janam hua tha,
ek din badla lunga.. 

mout ke samay hansta hua jaonga 

aur royegi yeh duniya.

adatan tumne kiye vaade,
adatan humne aitbaar kiya,

teri raho mein ruk-ruk ke, 

humne apna hi intezaar kiya. 

ab na mangege rabse dusri zindagi,
yeh khata humne ek baar kiya.

iss kalam ka kamaal to dekho

iss kalam ka kamaal to dekho,
isne jab mehboob ka naam likha,
mere dil ko aur bhi dhadkaya,
phir hal-e-dil paigaam likha,

mere dil ko baichain kiya. 

iss kalam ka kamaal to dekho,
nazron ne jo waar kiya,
aur jubaan se jo na bayaan ho paya,
woh saare jazbaat dil ke,
shayari mein dil ka har paigaam likha. 

iss kalam ka kamaal to dekho,
likha bhi naam uska aur pyaar se usse sajaya bhi,
utar kaagaz par tasveer usse pass apne paya bhi,
dil ki iss bechaini ko khoob shayari mein bayan kiya. 

iss kalam ka kamaal to dekho,
juda huye jab woh humse,
saath isne mera nibhaya bhi
naam likha jab bewafa uska,
hazaar aanshu apne saath hamein rulaya bhi. 

iss kalam ka kamaal to dekho,
kalam ke jariye aaj humne,
phir ek mukaam haasil kiya,
kho chuka tha jin lamhon ko,
phir kagaaz par aaj usse zinda kiya. 

koi bhi ab wafadaar na raha

duniya mein sachha pyaar na raha,
koi bhi ab wafadaar na raha. 

vaade wafa ke karte hain sab,
nibhayein jo aisa yaar na raha. 

nazrein jhuki si, kap-kapate se lab,
pyaar ka aisa izhaar na raha. 

chudiya-kangan to khanakte hain sab,
par pehle jaisa jhankaar na raha. 

piya mann bhaaye bhala kaise jab,
karne ko koi shingaar na raha. 

pathjhad si lagti hai jeevan ab,
zindagi mein koi bahaar na raha. 

chale gaye wapas jaane woh kab,
unka ab koi intezaar na raha. 

hasratein hain adhuri, tutte sapne sab,
apna ab koi dildaar na raha. 

karu kya fariyaad.. sune jise rab,
ab aisa koi pukaar na raha. 

saasein to leta hai raaj ab bhi,
zindagi par koi aitbaar na raha.

aye zindagi mujhe kyun itna aazmati hai

na jee paata hoon na hi maut aati hai.
aye zindagi mujhe kyun itna aazmati hai.

jalti har shaam aur bujhti huyi subah hai meri,
yeh matlabi duniya ab mujhe raas nahi aati hai.

na hi koi tamanna hai aur na koi aarzoo rahi,
iss jism mein ab ruh ko badi ghutan si hoti hai.

pardte rehte hain der tak ashq chehre ko mere,
ab jhuthi hansi ki baazi mujhse kheli nahi jaati hai.

aye maut banke mehbooba tu hi laga le gale se,
ki yeh zindagi ab mujhse sambhali nahi jaati hai.

I am waiting for someone

I am waiting for someone to arrive,
whose face will shine to light up my life,

I am waiting for someone to care,
to spur me on and always be there.

I am waiting for someone to love on,
someone to lean on when the going gets tough,

I am waiting for someone to say,
that I am the thought every night and day.

yes I am waiting and that’s all I shall do,
for these are my dreams they never come true.

gar hai jeena to dard se kya darna

hamein ishq gar na hota, yeh dard phir bhi hota,
jo tumhari yaad ka hai, phir zamane bhar ka hota.

ehsaas yeh tera hai, kuch to diya hai tum ne,
gar tum na hum ko dete, koi aur hum ko deta.

gar hai jeena to dard se kya darna,
gar ishq ka na hota, koi aur phir bhi hota.

thak gaya hoon apne-aap se lardte hue

kisi ki yaad mein yeh aankhein kho jaati hai,
pal bhar mein rim-jhim barish ho jaati hai,

papi aankhon se aksar behte hain aanshu,
bahte aanshu dil ke daag bhi dho jaati hai,

unko dekhkar ehsas-e-tanhai jagati hai,
unki bebasi se sari khawaish dil ki so jaati hai,

chahtein meri tum samajhna nahi chahte,
yeh khayal aksar palkein bhigo jaati hai,

kash mere naseeb mein bhi kisi ka pyar hota,
yeh tannhai mujhe khud mein sama jaati hai,

thak gaya hoon apne-aap se lardte hue,
mere bebasi samandar-e-gham mein dubo jaati hai.

kash tum kabhi mere sath hote

mohabbat bhare kuch lamhat hote,
kash tum kabhi mere sath hote,

na rahti yeh tannhai aas-paas mere,
agar hathon mein tere hath hote,

mil kar chalte hum raah-e-zindagi,
har kadam mohabbat ke saugat hote,

waadon ke dhor mein bandh jaate hum,
shayad kuch aise hi apne baat hote,

tere mohabbat ki roshni ke saath mein,
maine guzare apne sare din raat hote.

kisi ne phir iss dil ko dukhaya to kya hua

kisi ne humein phirse rulaya to kya hua,
dil ko ek baar aur dukhaya to kya hua.

tannha the kab se mohabbat ke bawjood,
kisi ne phir se ehsaas dilaya to kya hua.

kismat mein kya tha yeh pata nahi tha,
kisi ne isse bahot bura bataya to kya hua.

sachhe dil se chaahte rahe hum kisi ko,
kisi ne mohabbat mein tardpaya to kya hua.

dil-o-jaan lootate rahe hum raah-e-ishq mein,
kisi ne bewafai se aazmaya to kya hua.

hum ne bhool ki usse samajhne mein,
usne fareb mein behlaya to kya hua.

hasrat hai dil mein ek arse se..

iss shehar ki bheed mein ghum-e-ishq ke maare,
zinda hain ab tak yahi badi baat hai pyaare.

yeh hansta hua chand, yeh tim-timate sitare,
magar yeh dil hai ek jarre ke sahare.

hasrat hai koi pyar se dekhe mujhe,
arman hai koi phool humein bhi dil se pukare.

har subah meri subah pe roti rahi shabnam,
har raat meri raat pe hanste rahe taare.

hasrat hai dil mein ek arse se,
koi mere uljhe naseeb ko saware.

mere gazalon ko mere sath gaao ki andhera hatte

dil ko roshan banao ki andhera hatte,
nafraton ko bhagao ki andhera hatte,

aao dil ki mehfil mein, aao ki andhera hatte,
rukh se julfein hatao ki andhera hatte,

do pyar ke geet gaao aur muskuarao,
sare ghum ko bhulao ki andhera haate,

pyar ke noor se khaiyan pat do nafraton ki,
jahan ko jagmagao ki andhera hatte,

chand se mukhde ki tareef mein kuch kehne do,
mere gazalon ko mere sath gaao ki andhera hatte,

ek “raaj“ hi hai aapke nazaron mein kabse,
jaam-e-ulfat pilao ki andhera hatte.

ab tak iss nadan dil ko main samjha na paya

woh kuch palon ka hi saath main bhula na paya,
apne man ke aaine se unka chehra mita na paya,

maine wada kiya tha har lamha muskarane ka,
iss liye unki yaad mein aanshu bhi baha na paya,

dil dhakta hai mera ab bhi unke hi naam ke saath,
ab tak iss nadan dil ko main samjha na paya,

maksad-e-zindagi meri ban gayi hai woh,
woh chale gaye magar yeh baat apne dil ko bata na paya,

ussi mord pe tannha khada hai “raaj” intezaar mein,
jis mord pe kabhi main aarzu-e-dil dikha na paya.

khud ko yun barbaad na kar

tere ashq bohot keemti hai, unko yun barbaad na kar,
bewafa kabhi na badlenge, unko kabhi yaad na kar. 

ashmano mein dekhne wale, bheegi zamin dekhenge kya,
na bhiga zamin ko ashkon se, milne ki muraad na kar. 

woh raht the inn hathoon ki, pal mein hai to pal mein nahi,
woh sagar sang behjayenge, ruk ne ki faryaad na kar. 

unke paas dene ko, phool nahi sirf kaante hi hai,
banjar zameen nahi, dil tera katon se abaad na kar.

apni gazlon se tera naam mitana aasan nahi

iss dil se teri yaad ko bhulana aasan nahi,
aur darde dil ko dil mein chupana bhi aasan nahi.

kahta hoon sabse koi naata nahi mera tumse,
aur apni gazlon se tera naam mitana bhi aasan nahi.

sochta hoon kyon chup hoon teri bekhabari par,
aur tumhi ko dil ka haal sunana bhi aasan nahi.

woh dard bankar meri aankhon mein rahti hai,
aur usse palkon se bahana bhi aasan nahi.

uski yaadein mere daaman mein nashtar chubhati hai,
aur duniya mein iss daulat ko lutana bhi aasan nahi.

apne dil se uske pyaar ko mitana mushkil hai magar,
aur uske dil mein apni mohabbat phir jagana aasan nahi. 

hum khud ko shayar banaye baithe hain

dil ko ab intezaar nahi kisi khushi ka,
hum ashqon se hi dil behlaye baithe hain.

zindagi ke andhere ko mitane ke vaaste,
dil ke zakhmon ko jalaye baithe hain.

woh baatein jo tardpati hain mere dil ko,
unhein hi seene se lagaae baithe hain.

bewajah tu chhord ke gayi hai jab se,
hum khud ko hi bewafa banaae baithe hain. 

masoom dil ko behlaane ke vaaste,
chahat ko hi mohabbat bataye baithe hain.

mere jazbaaton ko to chura le gayi hai woh,
aur hum khud ko shayar banaye baithe hain. 

andekhi khushi ki gar chahat na hoti

gar mukamal jahan hi mil jata,
to tere bina main behal hi kyon hota.

tu chhord ke hamein na jati sangdil,
to khuda se mera yeh sawal hi kyon hota.

andekhi khushi ki gar chahat na hoti,
to mera jeena phir muhaal hi kyon hota.

teri chahaton se gar muh mord leta,
mere naam se duniya mein bawal hi kyon hota.

maaloom hoti agar badkismati hamari,
to tujhe paane ka khayal hi kyon hota.

mere haale tabaahi ko gar duniya na dekhti,
to tu bewafaai ka misaal hi kyon hota…

khawab mein hi aa ke muskura jaao kabhi

pyar ka rang liye aankhon mein aa jaao kabhi,
dhoon bankar mere geeton par cha jaao kabhi,

door tak roshni rah-e-wafa mein fail jaaye,
mere jazbaat ke sholon ko bhadka jaao kabhi,

chaht-e-wafa mein shayar ban gaya mein,
mere geeto ko mehfil mein gun guna jaao kabhi,

tum aate nahi ho yaado ke tarane bhej dete ho,
bekarar man ko karar dene aa jaao kabhi,

tumhari muskurahtein door hain mujhse main kho gaya hoon,
khawab mein hi aa ke muskura jaao kabhi,

khwaish nahi tamam umar sirf ek pal ke liye,
“raaj” ke ghazal ke liye sanwar jaao kabhi.

kuch hum se na bole jhoot gaye

kuch tum ko sach se nafrat thi,
kuch hum se na bole jhoot gaye,

kuch logon ne uksaya tumhein,
kuch apne mukaddar phoot gaye,

kuch khud itne chalaak na the,
kuch log bhi hum ko loot gaye,

kuch ummeed bhi hadd se jada thi,
ki khawab hi sare toot gaye.

sab raaz nahi hote batane wale

kya hoon main aur kya samajhte hain,
sab raaz nahi hote batane wale,

kabhi tanhaiyon mein aakar dekhna,
kaise rote hain sabko hasane wale.

jeene ki chaah mein kya rakha hai

jeene ki chaah mein kya rakha hai?
dard-e-dil sunaane mein kya rakha hai?

woh to aadat pard gayi hai udaas rahne ki,
warnaa udaas rahne mein kya rakha hai.

mere khwabon ki basti se

mere khwabon ki basti se,
arthi uthte jaate hain,

meri ankhein jise chhu lein,
woh sapna roz marta hai.

parchai bhi saath chord de jab

kis tarah bikhar gaye hain hum,
kisi aaine pe paathar gira ke dekho.

dil roo raha ho jab,
tab muskura kar dekho.

kaise hota hai dard ka ehsaas,
kabhi phool pe kaanta chuba kar dekho.

dil dhardkana band kar de,
tab zindagi ko azmaa kar dekho.

kitne sailaab chupe hote hain aankhon mein,
kabhi samandar ki gehraai mein ja kar dekho.

jab saare sapne toot gaye ho,
tab naye sapne sajaane ki himmat laa kar dekho.

dekho kaisi hoti hai bewafai ki chubhan,
parchai bhi saath chord de jab,

tab andheron mein kadam badhaa kar dekho.

khamosh yeh jaban hai

khamosh hum khamosh sa yeh saman hai,
khamosh lab khamosh yeh jahan hai,

kahin toot na jaaye mere sabra ka kinara,
isiliye khamosh yeh jaban hai.

I am the one you can’t forget

zara paane ki chaahat mein bahut kuch chhut jaata hai

zara paane ki chaahat mein bahut kuch chhut jaata hai,
na jaane sabra ka dhaaga, kaha par tut jaata hai.

kisko humara kehte ho, yaha to apnaa saayaa bhi¸
kahi par saath chalta hai, kahi par chhut jaata hai.

ajab se hain yeh rishte bhi, bahut majabut lagate hain,
jara si bhool se lekin, bharosaa tut jaata hai.

ba-muskila hum mohobbat ke dafaeini khoj paate hain¸
magar har baar yeh daulat, apna lut jaata hai.

for those who love

with love in eyes and smile on face,
I use to run in a beautiful race,
the race of love the race of passion,
brings me glory brings me succession.

you looked at me in such a desire,
I know your heart really admire,
just look one more time with love,
my heart is as pure as a dove.

alone I am for such a long time,
just waiting for you to give a rhyme,
a rhyme to chant, a rhyme to sing,
a rhyme to love, a rhyme to bring.

never get my emotions to hurt,
always being in my heart,
gave me a reason to flow,
bringing me a beautiful glow.

this is for those who love,
someone for whom they strive,
whose smile can make you die,
whose heart can bring you life.

main bura tha magar itna nahi tha

zindagi se to koi shikwa nahi tha,
jeene ka bhi to bahana nahi tha. 

haal-e-dil jo mera sunke roo pade,
mujhe woh sach bhi batana nahi tha. 

main kyun na baith kar kosta apni kismat ko,
jo mera tha, woh ab apna nahi tha. 

dekh kar khud ko usmein rona lazmi tha mera,
woh aaina tha, koi sapna nahi tha. 

sunke barbadi meri mehfilein sajayi tumne,
main bura tha, magar itna nahi tha. 

ke jinke sath kat gaya tamam zindagi ka safar,
aakhiri mord par jana, unmein koi apna nahi tha.

kehte-kehte jaise kalam bhi roo pada,
woh haqeekat tha, mera afsana nahi tha.

kaise keh doon ki main udaas nahin

mera dil toota hai aakhir koi mazak nahi,
kaise keh doon ki main udaas nahin.

jab se bana lee hain dooriyan tumne,
bas yoon lagta hai koi paas nahin.

paaker tumhein kho bhi diya aur abhi algta hai,
jaise poori huyi talas nahin.

nigaahein teri raah dekhna bhala chhord dein kaise,
jab tere aane ki abhi dil se gayi aash nahi.

sazaa pata hai koi begunaah tere huzoor mein,
yeh to achha tera insaaf nahi.

khud baith jaate ho pareeshaan hoker,
phir yeh bhi kahte ho yaar aisi koi baat nahi.

woh utni nahi pilate jitni chahta hoon,
isliye keh diya karta hoon mujhe pyaas nahi.

kya khabar thi.. iss tarah hi jeena hoga umra bhar

kya khabar thi.. iss tarah hi jeena hoga umra bhar,
dard -e- dil seene mein lekar, jeena hoga umra bhar. 

socha tha kuch roz baad, hum bhi muskurayenge,
socha na tha aanshuon ko peena hoga umra bhar.

maine bhi uff ! na kari aur woh bhi satate rahein,
socha tha ke yeh to unse bhi na hoga umra bhar.

soch badali hai kabhi na, soch badalegi kabhi
aadmi ko apni tarah jeena hoga umra bhar.

har din ke inteham par yeh sochta hoon,
kya inn halat mein hi jeena hoga umra bhar.

ek dua yeh bhi mangta hai koi

pyaar se dekh le kabhi koi,
ek dua yeh bhi mangta hai koi.

roz jeeta hai, roz marta hai,
sach tujhe yun bhi chahata hai koi.

main to so jata hoon magar mujh mein,
tamam raat jagta hai koi.

tannha paate hi gudgudata hai,
haan mujhe yun bhi sataata hai koi.

suni -suni si lag rahi hai jo sada,
aisa lagta hai humein bhi bulata hai koi.

dubta suraj.. woh urdte parinde,
sham yun bhi gujarata hai koi.

chota sa dil hai, pahardon se ghum

chota sa dil hai, pahardon se ghum,
nanhi si jaan pe hain kitne sitam. 

main ek zindagi se hi tang aa gaya,
mubarak ho tumko yeh saaton janam. 

mere dard se woh pareshaan kya honge,
ke woh sang dil hain barde bereham. 

kahin ka na chordegi yeh aashiqi,
ke jeene na denge yeh lutf -o- karam. 

safar yeh mohabbat ka aasaan nahi,
ke iss rah mein hai barde pech -o- kham. 

yahan zinda rehna hi bardi baat hai,
ke har saans par hai, uddhar ek dum. 

sambhalne ka jab waqt aaya hai to,
behakne lage hain humare kadam. 

yeh mana ke dil mein khuda hai mager,
to kiske liye hai yeh dair -o- dharam. 

iss sitamghar ke kehne pe,
tord di humne naa jaane kitni kasam. 

na puchho kya kya woh kho kar utha hai

jo meri daastaan sunkar utha hai,
woh apna daman bhigo kar utha hai.

beeti raat ka usse abhi hishab na lo,
woh abhi jaga hai, soo kar utha hai.

abhi tum usko hansane ki koshishein na karo,
abhi chhupa hai woh, roo kar utha hai.

jo khelne baitha jua mohabbat ka,
na puchho kya kya, woh kho kar utha hai.

mere aane se chal pada jo chord kar mehfil,
woh mere dil ko chubho kar utha hai.

uska haal kuch behaal nazer aata hai,
phir koi dhokha woh kha kar utha hai.

tumhi ko humne chaaha tha, tumhi milte to acha tha

jahaan phoolon ko khilna tha, wahi khilte to acha tha,
tumhi ko humne chaaha tha, tumhi milte to acha tha. 

koi aa kar humse puuche, tumhein kaise bhulaaya hai?
tumhaare khat ko ashkoon se, tapish-e-gham mein jalaaya hai. 

hazaaroon zakhm aaise hain agar silte to acha tha,
tumhi ko humne chaaha tha, tumhi milte to acha tha. 

tumhein jitna bhulaaya hai, tumhaari yaad utni aai hai,
bahaar-e-sard jo aayi hai, wohi khushbu laati to acha tha.

tumhaare lab meri khaatir, jo hilte to acha tha,
tumhi ko humne chaaha tha, tumhi milte to acha tha. 

mila hai lutf bhi humko hasiin yaadoon ki jhilmil mein,
katti hai zindagi tum bin, magar yeh malal dil mein reh hi gaya,

agar tum aate to acha tha, agar mujhse milte to acha tha,
tumhi ko humne chaaha tha, tumhi milte to acha tha.

ek tannha shaam thi, ek akeli raat thi

ek tannha shaam thi, ek akeli raat thi,
ek akele hum the, ek teri yaad thi.

shuru hua phir jo tanhaiyon ka aalam,
ki har tannhai pe ek yaad thi.

everyone needs companionship and cheer

God knew that everyone needs
companionship and cheer,
he knew that people need someone
whose thoughts are always near.

he knew they need someone kind
to lend a helping hand.
someone to gladly take the time
to care and understand.

God knew that we all need someone
to share each happy day,
to be a source of courage
when troubles come our way.

someone to be true to us,
whether near or far apart.
someone whose love we’ll always
hold and treasure in our hearts. 

For me.. that someone is missing.

naa samah the kitne hum, jana humne jab aankh khuli

khwab to khwab hi tha, jana humne jab aankh khuli,
apne huye hain paraye, jana humne jab aankh khuli. 

paya tumhein karib to, samjhe kismat khuli
pana tumhein hai mushkil, jana humne jab aankh khuli. 

ro-ro ke kehte hain ki, maangkar bhi khushi naa mili,
gham bhi kya chiz hai, jana humne jab aankh khuli. 

samjhe tumhein saathi apna ki, zindagi ki kitaab khuli,
naa samah the kitne hum, jana humne jab aankh khuli.

kuch sapne adhure reh jaate hain

kuch khawab khawab reh jaate hain,
kuch sapne adhure reh jaate hain. 

chaahat ka wada, wafa ki kasmein,
kagaz pe chand tehrerein reh jaate hain. 

tujhse milna, tujhe paane ki aarzoo,
kuch khwahishein hasratein reh jaate hain. 

tere saath bitta waqt, tere sang guzare lamhein,
zindagi ke kuch khaas yaadein ban reh jaate hain.

mat puch sambhala hai maine kis tarah

mat puch sambhala hai maine khud ko kis tarah,
waqt ne to mujhko tukde-tukde kar diya.

3 golden rule in life

never cry for any relation in life..

because for the one whom you cry
does not deserve your tears
and the one who deserves
will never let you cry.

treat everyone with politeness..

even those who are rude to you,
not because they are not nice
but because you are nice.

never search your happiness in others..

which will make you feel alone,
rather search it in yourself
you will feel happy
even if you are left alone..

tujhse jo maine wada kiya tha

armano ko dil mein dafen kar diya,
khwahisho ka galla ghot diya, 

tujh se jo maine wada kiya tha,
apne aap ko tujh se juda kar diya. 

dard aaj bhi seene min uthata hai,
jalan aaj bhi dil mein hoti hai,

teri ek jhalak dekhne ko,
taras aaj bhi ankhoon mein jaagti hai.

apne anshu ko pee ke,
iss taras ko bujhata hoon, 

armano ki arthi pe
khud hi phool chadhata hoon. 

mere naseeb tu nahi hai,
par teri yaadon koi mitta nahi sakta, 

iss jahan se mitt sakta hoon magar
teri mohobbat iss dilse mitt nahi sakti.

apni to duniya hi doston se hai

khushi bhi doston se hai,
gham bhi doston se hai, 

takraar bhi doston se hai,
pyar bhi doston se hai, 

roothna bhi doston se hai,
manana bhi doston se hai, 

baat bhi doston se hai,
misaal bhi doston se hai, 

nasha bhi doston se hai,
shaam bhi doston se hai, 

zindagi ki shuruvaat bhi doston se hai,
zindagi mein mulakaat bhi doston se hai, 

mohabbat bhi doston se hai,
inaayat bhi doston se hai, 

kaam bhi doston se hai,
naam bhi doston se hai, 

khyaal bhi doston se hai,
armaan bhi doston se hai, 

khwaab bhi doston se hai,
maahol bhi doston se hai, 

yaadein bhi doston se hai,
mulakaatein bhi doston se hai, 

sapne bhi doston se hain,
apne bhi doston se hain, 

ya yoon kahoon yaro,
apni to duniya hi doston se hai.

live life to its fullest

life is like flowing water,
if it stops..

it gets stagnated.

if it flows.. 

it turns into a waterfall,
a stream, a river and ocean. 

similarly life has joys and worries,
but its like sunrise after night, 

so after each sad event,

there is a happy event,
so live life to its fullest,
enjoy each second of life.

life is precious, 

respect it,
thank thou for it. 

yaad aati hai to hum iss dil ko rok lete hain

yaad aati hai to hum iss dil ko rok lete hain,
aanchal na mile to, ashk haathon se ponch lete hain.

marham na mila to zakhmon ko bahne dete hain,
dard dil mein rakh kar, dhadkan ko sahne dete hain. 

machle jo jazbaat to yeh dil ka dosh hi hoga,
aapki yaad mein aaj phir koi khamosh hoga. 

yaad karte hain tumhein har saans ke aane-jaane pe,
sunte hain aapki hasi har kisi ke muskuraane pe.

aati hai aahat tumhari kisi ke bhi paas aane pe ,
par hum kuch nahi kahte logo ke ilzaam lagane pe.

aapke na milne pe bhi yeh zindagi ko jee rahein,
har zakhm duniya ke hum hans ke bhi seh rahein ,

saans-aate saans-jaate yaad bas tu aati hai,
saanson se saanson ki yeh dhun,

saans mein gun-gunaati hai. 

dard ko bhi ab dard hone laga hai

dard ko bhi ab dard hone laga hai,
dard khud hi hamare ghav dhone laga hai,

dard ke sath kabhi roye naa hum,
dard khud hi humko chu ke rone laga hai.

kya woh sab yaad tumko hai

tumhein aaj phir dil se chaaha,
ahsaas kya tumko hai, 

agar jaante ho mere dil ka haal,
phir bhi na khayal tumko hai,

daaman ko mere kaanton se sajja kar,
kya yeh mehkati tumko hai, 

chord di aaj saari waffaien,
jiske gumaan mein rehta tha,

safar ab khatam hua is zindagi ka,
mili jo meri manzil tumko hai,

asar unko meri baaton ka, kyu nahi hota,
mein bewaffa nahi, bewaffai ka dard tumko hai,

sharaab peene ko aaj bahaut dil chahe mera,
karu to kya main karu, di jo kasam tumko hai,

mere haaton mein, de kar haath jo tum kehte the,
aaj bhi sochta hoon, kya woh yaad tumko hai,

mera to sab kuch tum ho, kise kahu apna,
dushman bhi na deta itne zakham,
mere dard ka hisaab kaha tumko hai,

dil se ab dua hai yehi, uska zikar na kare koi,
lekin yeh kaha ho saka, jaanta har koi tumko hai,

milti hai raat khushnaseb so jaane ke liye,
mujhe har aahat jagaati hai,
raat sitaaron ki jab kabhi chup jaaye,
phir woh jagaati kya tumko hai?

kyun tera har baar meri zindagi mein aana-jaana hai

kyun tera har baar meri zindagi mein aana-jaana hai,
kyun tera har baar dil ko rulaana-hasana hai?

beshak ghar mein hain mere tere gum ke andhere,
kyun roshani ko aandhiyon mein jalaana-bhujaana hai? 

mudat hui hai aaj husn- e- jaam piye huye,
magar mehkasho mein naam mera jaana-mana hai.

kitna tha gumaan mujhe teri mohobbat par,
aitbaar tha teri itni chahat par,

toota mera har woh khawaab jo tere saath dekha,
kya khabar thi raaj ne itna khona-paana hai.

kyu tera har baar meri zindagi mein aana-jaana hai,
kyu tera har baar dil ko rulaana-hasaana hai.

dil ki deewarein kaanch ki tarah toot gayi

dil ki deewarein kaanch ki tarah toot gayi,
phir bhi woh dhundla sa har tukde par uska naam dikhta hai,

kehta the woh ki yaad aati hai aapki bahut,
phir kyu nahi kabhi koi paigaam likhte hain,

kehne ko to saansein zinda hain,
phir kyu maut sa ehsaas aa dhadkan mein tikta hain. 

kaisa hoon kis haal mein hoon

kaisa hoon, kis haal mein hoon.. usko kya khabar,
achcha hoon ya bura hoon, usko kya khabar?

mulaakat ki usse hui barso ki sada,
yaad aata hai mera chup rehna, 

uski meethi baaton ki adaa,

kis kadar tute hain pal woh mohobbat waale,
kis kadar chubhte hain pal yeh yaadon waale,

tannha hoon ya tuta hoon, usko kya khabar,
kya khabar thi dil ki baaton mein haal-e-dil hai chupa,

chand yaadon par dard-e-dil hai utha,
jaane kyu sochta hoon guzra kal  bata,
jab kisi ko nahi koi matlab,
zinda hoon ya guzra hoon, usko kya khabar.

kaisa hoon, kis haal mein hoon usko kaya khabar,
achcha hoon ya bura hoon, usko kaya khabar?

tera intezaar aaj bhi zinda hai meri tamannaon ke saath

tera intezaar aaj bhi zinda hai meri tamannaon ke saath,
woh jazba aaj bhi baashinda hai mere khayalaat ke saath,

woh aur honge jo chaah kar kisi ko bhool jaate hain,
maine chaaha hai usko badi ibaadat ke saath,

chiraagon ki roshani mein jab dum naa rahe,
main usko bhi jalaa doon apne aashuon ke saath,

aakhiri dum yeh mera naa soch kar nikle,
laut aaonga kissi ashiq ki rooh ke saath,.

khaali haath chala tha, aaj tak kuch nahi paaya

door tere jahaan se, main apni duniya basaane aaya,
khaali haath chala tha, aaj tak kuchh nahi paaya. 

mushkilon ka safar kabhi rukta hi nahi,
tufaano ka saamna karna, waqt ne bas yehi sikhaya. 

tannha baithta hoon jab, aur tannha paata hoon,
itne baras beet gaye, koi bhi nahi aaya. 

khawaab the mere, kuch sehra pe khade makaanon ki tarah,
aanshu mein doobh gaye, behna inko nahi aaya. 

door tere jahaan se, main apni duniya basaane aaya,
khaali haath chala tha, aaj tak kuch nahi paaya.

kaal chakra ne unhein ek ehsaas bana diya

ret ke is dher mein,
koi gharaunda kabhi to bana hoga,
kabhi to kinhi payare haatho ne inhein,
chhua hoga, aakaar diya hoga.

chamakte ankhon mein khwaise liye hazar,
dil mein umnag liye, liye hue dher sara pyar,
ek sapne ko karne sakar,
kabhi to kisi ne inhein moort kiya hoga.

socha hoga ban kar kabhi yeh na tootega,
aur tootega bhi to kaise,
laharo ke aage woh khud honge,
hatho mein haat liye. 

ha yahi to socha hoga,
par kya yeh mumkin tha,
ki woh kaal chakra ko rok sake?

muskil waqt ne mita diya har woh nisaan,
jiske liye woh kabhi na soch sake.

ek lahar tha woh nahi,
sitam ka ek toofan,
kuchh bhi baki nahi waha,
mit gaye sare nisaan.

kya yahi anzamm tha
us pyar ke mandir ka
woh doobe, utraye, haath na chhode,
ek nazar feri aur mit gaye,
mit gaye? 

nahi, woh ek ehsaas ban gaye,

kaal chakra ne unhein ek ehsaas bana diya.

a wonderful gift to share

a hug is a wonderful gift to share,
a way to show each other that we care.
there is so much a hug is able to do,
when you feel those arms, holding you.

it is a place to feel safe and warm,
a comfort for a sad heart that is torn.
an expression of the love in our heart,
for ones who we wish, never to be apart.

a greeting when we meet to say hello,
or to say goodbye when we have to go.
it can hold us up when life gets us down,
and make us smile, instead of frown.

a hug can be given for no reason at all,
and given to those, both big and small.
we are never too old to feel the joy it brings,
as it is one of life’s, most pleasing things.

and for all of this beauty, a hug is free,
costs nothing, yet means so much to me.
we should all hug another to show we care,
for to feel a warm hug, nothing can compare..

intehaan woh mere sabr ka ab kya lenge

woh yahaan aayenge, yeh dil ko batta rakha hai,
marte-marte bhi inn aankhon ko khula rakha hai, 

intehaan woh mere sabr ka ab kya lenge,
unse paaya hua zakhm, aaj bhi hara rakha hai. 

bewafaa woh thi, hum the, ki zamaane waale,
chordiye yeh sab, ab inn baaton mein kya rakha hai. 

unko aaya hi nahi meri mohabbat ka yakeen,
kab se yeh haath inki aur bardha rakha hai. 

har ghazal sunke meri, unko aisa laga,
jaise har sher unko pehle hi sunaa rakhaa hai. 

dil ki ghaati mein dabey panv utar jaati hain,
unki aankhon ne deewaana bana rakha hai. 

mere baad aur bhi aa jaayenge likhna waale,
maine auron ko bhi yeh afsaana suna rakha hai.

dost banke dushman, dil ke kareeb rehte hain

meri panaho mein mere kaatil rehte hain,
dost banke dushman, dil ke kareeb rehte hain. 

guzar jaati hai har shaam tannha tannha si,
chirag bhi saare bujhe-bujhe se rehte hain. 

tannha-tannha si basar ho rahi hai zindagi,
saaye bhi ab humse door rehte hain. 

khwaab bhi koi ab palkon mein basate nahi,
kuch moti banke wahan tere gham rehte hain.

kyun tannha jiya ja raha hoon main

zamaane ki riwayaton pe chal raha hoon main,
apni hi bandish mein kaid jee raha hoon main. 

dil ki chahat ko khul ke izhaar bhi nahin kar sakta,
aur kehta hoon beshak muskura raha hoon main. 

kambakth dil hi jhoota nikla,
sach ko pehchan ne se inkar jo kar raha hoon main. 

ab duniya se kya shikayat karni,
apne hi dil mein taaze ghav bana raha hoon main. 

apni bebasi pe hans rahi hai yeh duniya,
khudko jo tardpa raha hoon main. 

iss duniya ki tamannaon ko poore karne ke liye,
khudke aarzuon ko daffna raha hoon main. 

dil ne roke phir kaha,
kyun tannha jiya ja raha hoon main. 

zindagi ko jeene ka jazbah nahin,
maut ko gale laga raha hoon main.

zindagi ko jab bhi gale lagana chaha

zindagi ko jab bhi gale lagana chaha,
ghamon ne khushi se door rakhna chaha. 

pyar se jab unko apnaa banaa chaha,
bewafai ne dilko bar-bar tordna chaha. 

khuli aasman mein jab bhi urdna chaha,
kaale badalon ne raasta rokna chaha. 

dard jhel kar bhi khush rehna chaha,
zakhmon ko sabne kuredna chaha. 

har mukaam ko jab paar karna chaha,
apno ne hi piche dhakelna chaha. 

har mehfil mein rang jamana chaha,
doston ne cherd kar tamasha banana chaha. 

jab bhi musibaton se lardna chaha,
takdeer ne hathiyaar hi cheen lena chaha. 

haar ke zindagi se jab mar jana chaha,
to maut ne humein zinda rakhna chaha. 

pal bhar mein tune raaj ko anjaan kar diya

chahat ka tune kya sila diya,
hasti aankhon ko dariya bana diya. 

pyar ka deep dilmein jalaa diya,
ussi aag mein phir sab kuch mita diya. 

pyar ka jab bhi vaasta dila diya,
beetey lamhon ka tune keemat chuka diya. 

tere liye khud ko itna badal diya,
aaj pehchan ne se tune inkaar kar diya. 

sab kuch jo tere naam kar diya,
mohabbat ka tune sauda kar diya. 

jisne apno ke dilmein ghar kar diya,
sabki nazro mein usse gunehgar bana diya. 

wafa karte sab rishthon ko gawa diya,
ussi pe tune bewafai ka daag laga diya. 

dard-o-gham se daaman bhar diya,
dilne aaj bhi tujhe bas duwa hai diya. 

tujhe paane ko kya-kya na kar diya,
pal bhar mein tune ‘raaj’ ko anjaan kar diya.

dil ki chahat kahan puri hoti hai

dil ki chahat kahan puri hoti hai,
sapno ki baatein kahan sach hoti hai? 

kehne ko keh jaate hain log apna kisiko,
kya jaane iski kya wajah hoti hai? 

karke rushwa pyar ko duniya mein,
log pyar ko bewafa keh jaate hain. 

sunne ki chahat dikhate hai dil ka haal,
shayad unke hasne ki yehi wajah hoti hai. 

kaha tha unhone mujhe apna ek roz,
yeh dillagi ki chahat humein aaj bhi hoti hai.

hum yaad tumhein aaj bhi karte hain subah-aur-shaam

kya-kya khayaal jee se guzarte hain subah-aur-shaam,
zakhm naye dil mein ubharte hain subah-aur-shaam. 

sadiyaan guzar gayi hai tumhein bewafaa hue,
hum yaad tumhein aaj bhi karte hain subah-aur-shaam. 

reh-reh ke chaunk-chaunk ke main neend se jaagun,
ban-ban ke mere sapne bikharte hain subah-aur-shaam. 

jab-jab teri yaadon ki ghataa dil pe chhaayi hai,
baadal meri aankhon ke baraste hain subah-aur-shaam. 

pal-pal main dekhta hoon uth ke raahguzar ko,
naina teri dedaar ko taraste hain subah-aur-shaam. 

mat poochiye kya aalam-e-khwaab aur ummeed hai,
angaar se seene mein dehakte hain subah-aur-shaam. 

aakhri baar jab chhua tha tere phoolon se badan ko,
ke haath ab bhi mehakte hain mere subah-aur-shaam. 

roz hi jaagte hain jeetne ki khawayish le kar

gumsum ho jaate hain, baadal roz garaz kar,
hum bhi so jaate hain, unki ek jhalak ko taras kar, 

woh kisi aur ke mehboob hain log kahte hain,
lahoo se naam likh, hum mohabbat parakhte hain, 

roz hi jaagte hain, jeetne ki khawayish le kar,
aur roz soo jaate hain, apni kismat se haar kar.

iski bhi koi wajah to nahi

tujh ko chahun.. koi wajah nahi,
bhool jaun tujhko, iski bhi koi wajah to nahi. 

jeeyun hans ke.. koi wajah nahi,
bahaun aanshu, iski bhi koi wajah to nahi. 

pyar to tha kuch humare beech.. be-wajaha nahi,
jo doori hai aaj darmiya humare, iski bhi to wajha nahi. 

kashmakash jo hai tere chehre pe.. usko koi wajah nahi,
kayam rahe dosti humari, iski bhi koi wajah to nahi, 

mile hum phir kabhi.. koi wajah nahi,
umeed rahe baaki milan ki, iski bhi koi wajah to nahi .

woh bhi kya din the

woh bhi kya din the.. sotey the tere aachal ke taley,
aaj kafan ko tarsti padi hai laash meri tere dar pe, 

woh bhi kya din the.. jab milke phir milne ko tarste the,
aaj beet gaya zamana jhalak teri dekhe hue, 

woh bhi kya din the jab.. soti raato mein jaga kiye the,
aaj sone ko tarsta hai dil ki dekhun tujhe khawab mein, 

woh bhi kya din the.. hansi teri misri ghol jaati thi,
aaj aawaz sune bhi teri taraste baithe hain, 

woh bhi kaya din the.. jab hum sang muskurate the,
aaj rone ko bhi kandha dhundhte hain. 

mujhe to khud se mile zamana hua

dekhe tumein ek zamana hua,
kaisi ho tum..
yeh puuche zamana hua.

kya yaad aata hoon main,
yeh puche ek zamana hua,

sune teri hansi ek zaman hua.

khayalon main mere basne wali,
tujhko apna kahe ek zamana hua.

naa bataya gaya tujhse apna dukh,
hanse hue mujhe ek zamana hua.

roti aankhon mein ab ek hai suna-pan,
ashk bahaye mujhe ek zamana hua.

khali bahene sard sanase liye baitha hoon,
kisi garmi ka ehsas hue zamana hua,

kisi ki kya kahun
mujhe to khud se mile zamana hua. 

Happy Birthday Baba

chalo milakar andhere mein ek deep to jalaate hain,
apne papa ke khoye hue, sapane ko lautaate hain,

apni tankhwaa ki gasti mein, khushiyaan dubo di,
apni saari khwaahishon ki, tithi hi badal di,

chalo apni safalta ke, geet gungunaate hain
paapa ke janmadin ki khushiyaan manaate hain,

apane waqt ko bator uphaar rup mein laaya hai,
papa ke dhalte huye kandhe ko, 
nayi ummeedon se sajaaya hai,

papa tum jeevan ka saaraansh ho,
papa tum hi saare savaal ka ant hai,

thehar jaao.. aapke bujhate hue aankhon mein
naya khwaab to basa doon,
aapke janmadin ka paigaam
saare shehar ko bata doon.

Happy Birthday Baba!

God is the word, which inspires us all

an invisible force for some,
an inspiration for some,
an imagination for some,
a belief for some.

but whatever it is,
God is the word,
which inspires us all,
to do the unthinkable.

no one cares you believe or not,
but all that matters,
is what you do God may be a fence,
to warn us of our limits,
or God may be a weapon,
by which we harass other humans.

but my friend whatever it is,
true or false no one knows.

but all I know is one little thing,
you be true to your own heart,
and that is god and that is divine.

mohabbat hi mera humraah aur meri tanhai hai

mohabbat hi mera humraah aur meri tanhai hai,
yehi par kabhi hansi to kabhi ruswaai hai,
issi se hai waade saare
aur issi mein chupi kisi ki bewafaai hai. 

mohabbat hi hai woh jab nighahon mein koi sama jaaye,
zindagi mohabbat hoti nahi kabhi,
haan mohabbat zindagi ban jaati hai,

mohabbat mein sab majboor hote hain, 
kabhi paas to kabhi door hote hain,
sab kho jaate hain iss ishq mein
saath jab woh yaaadein hoti hain,
shayad woh mohabbat kehlaati hai. 

zindagi mohabbat hoti nahin kabhi,
haan mohabbat zindagi ban jaati hai,
mohabbat ki raah mein chalte hue,
zanjeeron ki awaaz bhi payalon ki jhankaar si lagti hai. 

har baar dar satata hai ki koi sunn na le mujhe,
phir bhi mujhe paas tumhare le aati hai,
zindagi mohabbat hoti nahi kabhi,
haan mohabbat zindagi ban jaati hai. 

kuch zimedariya kuch yaadein

zindgi se bezaar
khud se ab ho chuka hoon main, 

jeene ki koi tamana nahi
par phir jeeye jaa raha hoon main,  

kuch zimedariya kuch yaadein
jinke liye jeeye jaa raha hoon main, 

jisko bhi mana apna
daga ussi ne diya, 

dil to mera leliya
apna bhi wapas maang liya, 

dekar yaadon ka saath,
aur na marne ki kasam, 

jeene ko majboor kiya,
jaane kyon tujhpe aitbaar kiya, 
aur kiye jaa raha hoon main.

bas na mili to teri chahatein

kitne dard hain iss dil mein,
yun to mila sab kuch,
bas na mili to teri chahatein. 

baatein kuch ankahi si reh gayi,
hasratein kuch adoori si reh gayi, 

kitne khwab the iss dil mein,
na mili to haqikatein, 

yun to mila sab kuch,
bas na mili to teri chahatein, 

duniya ki bheed mein kho gaye tum,
kyun mujhe tanha chord gaye tum, 

kitni khwaishein thi iss dil mein,
na mili to manzilien, 

yun to mila sab kuch,
bas na mili to teri chahtein, 

mohabbat ka jaise ek dariya tha,
toofaan ek lehar se jaise utha tha, 

kitne armaan the iss dil mein,
na mili to khushnaseebiyein, 

yun to mila sab kuch,
bas na mili to teri chahatein.

an emotion so strong so deep

an emotion so strong,
so deep and so hard,

tears trickle down the eyes,
heaviness of feelings,

capture the mind loneliness, fear,
losing of hope, choosing the wrong,

and doing the bad
what else can sadness give,

what else can sadness take,
these are things,

which make you think,
am I wrong or am I judged wrong,

feelings like these, so bad, so creep,
rule our life and live within,

learn to know the feelings of heart,
and live your life like a horse in the war. 

aisi bhi hoti hai khamoshiyaan

dhadkane jab badhne lage,

aur saansein bhi shor karne lage,
nazrein jab kisi ki nazaron mein rukne lage,
sare-alam ki hulchul jab thamne lage,
aisi bhi hoti hai khamoshiyaan. 

dil mein jab bechaini badhne lage,
bin kahe sab kuch samajh aane lage,
saari duniya ka hosh jab khone lage,
aisi bhi hoti hai khamoshiyaan.

koi apna jab khud se door hone lage,
kehne ko jab koi alfaaz bhi na rahein,
kuch hone ki umeed bhi khone lage,
aisi bhi hoti hai khamoshiyaan.

kisi ke sawaal mein har jawaab nagawaar hone lage
band aankhon se bhi tasveer dihayi dene lage
nazrein jab ahista ahista se nam si hone lagein
aisi bhi hoti hain khamoshiyaan.

koi kisi ke liye hai jeeta,
par kisi ko iski khabar bhi nahin,
ban ke hawa koi saansein hai deta,
aur kisi ko iski kadar bhi nahin. 

koi sajde lakh karke

kisi ke liye dua hai maangta,
aur kisi par asar bhi nahin,
aisi bhi hoti hai khamoshiyaan.

chahkar bhi keh nahin payein,
aur zara sa sabar bhi nahin,
bas samajhne ko hi reh jaaye,
aur kehne ko kuch bhi nahin,
aisi bhi hoti hai khamoshiyaan.

mera yeh kya jeewan hai, akelapan ek humsafar hai

mera yeh kya jeewan hai,
akelapan ek humsafar hai,

khoj hai mera jaari abhi,
mil jaaye ek dost agar…

dhoond liya rasta rasta,
gaya main har kis ke paas,

par laut aaya ek jawaab lekar,
ki dost nahi banayenge hum.

pata nahi kya hua sabko,
ya phir galthi mujh mein hai,

sochta hoon bas yehi,
par koi mujhe milta nahi. 

rehta hoon main unke paas,
karta hoon unki har madadh,

raktha hoon khayal unka,
kami nahi chhod tha kuch,

par jaane kya hua sabko,
ya phir accha nahi lagta main unko,

mere chehre se log nafrat karte hain,
ya mere pehchaan se,

jaanta nahi main abhi kuch,
dhoond raha hoon phir bhi kuch,

mil jaaye ek dost mujhe,
to ho jaun main bhi khush.

enjoy the child in you

a time of innocence,
knowing nothing but play,
so happy iss the face,
so pleasant are the days.

running here and running there,
rolling here and playing there,
eating sleeping, laughing crying,
life goes on, with no complaints to say.

hope we could,
live the moment forever,
but destiny always,
does not stay that way.

so oh my friend, go back in time,
when you can, out to childhood,
keep your work, limited and complete,
so you can, enjoy the child in you.

ek pal mein de diye kya kya ilzaam apne

ek pal mein de diye, kya kya ilzaam apne,
khun-e-dil ankhon se tapka, na dekha apne.

meri palko ki mandaro pe, koi ronak hi nahi,
dekh lo ashko ka chirag, na dekha apne.

hai shakk se bhara charo taraf samundar hi samundar,
jo umeed se badhaya haath, na thama apne.

koi akar mujhe le jaaye door kahin,
kyun roz dua mein khuda se, yehi manga apne?

nahi jaati mere badan se apki pyar ki khushbu,
mere khawabon ki basti ko, jo yun sajaya apne.

ehlaad-e-wafa ko apni main kaise bayan karu,
haan! chala aunga main mar ke bhi, jo kabhi pukara apne.

meri himmat hi na hui ke paas bitha ke main puchhun,
kyun tardpa ke mujhko, khud ko bhi tardpaya apne?

mana ke kuch pata nahi, manzil hai ab kidhar,
jo bichhde hain woh milenge, yeh mana hai apne.

wapas palat ke ayega, gaya pal woh ek din,
apne humsafar ki aas mein, diya jo intezaar apne…

ban megh kisi din anna tum

mere sukhe jeevan mein ban megh kisi din aana tum,
banjar se iss uppvan mein aa jee bhar jal barsana tum, 

main rishto ke kis bandhan mein fassa huwa hoon,
dhhart’rastra si zakkdan mein kassa huwa hoon,

anne se pahle roz ki tarah, bas payal ko chhankana tum,
ban megh kisi din aana tum. 

bhid bhari iss duniya mein kab jaane chhuta sath tumhara,
mujhko khawabon mein dikhta hai, nimantran deta hath tumhara, 

mar jaun kisi din intezaar mein tumhare to aanshu na bahana tum,
ban megh kisi din anna tum. 

neeersta ke es pal mein ban madhumas tum aa jaao,
na dikhe tum bin koi aur mere chahun aur tum chaa jaao, 

dhool chadi hai yadon pe, jara aanchal to lahrana tum,
ban megh kisi din anna tum, ban megh kisi din anna tum. 

woh baatein yaad aati hain

tumhari woh mohabbatein, tumhari woh chahatein yaad aati hain,
tumhari woh waadein, tumhari woh kasmein yaad aati hain, 

main jab bhi dekhta hoon tanhai mein tumhari tasveerein,
tasweeron mein tumhari adaein yaad aati hain, 

tum jo kerti thi akser wafa aur pyaar ki baatein,
tumhara woh ahad-e-wafa aur woh baatein yaad aati hain, 

tumhara woh mere bagal mein baith kar humein baar baar dekhna,
tumhara woh chhip chhip kar dekhna aur woh ankhein yaad aati hain, 

tumhara woh scooty par mere piche baith mere kahdhe ko pakadna,

ab jab bhi scooty par nikalta hoon to woh rahein yaad aati hain, 

kabhi mujhse bhi pucho iss naye mohabbat ke andaaz,
jisse iss mohabat ki har woh lamhein yaad aati hain.

before love died

we walked in fields of golden yellow
before our love was dead,
we waded over the flowing streams
and crossed the bridge of idle dreams.
I believed those words you said
before our love was dead.

we sat beneath the gulmohar-tree bough
before sweet love was done,
we sailed upon the ocean blue
with fun and laughter all day through.
joy was in the setting sun
before romance was done.

but now that you have gone away
I cannot face another day,
the blues I sing in dark despair
I look and you are never there.
without your kiss I’ll have to stay
forever under skies of grey.

koi khawab in ankho mein sajaya hi nahi

koi khawab in ankho mein sajaya hi nahi,
humare dil ki gehrai ko koi samajh paya hi nahi,

kisi ko humari kami mehsoos ho,
khuda ne humein aisa banaya hi nahi.

yaad nahi kab muskaraya tha main

yaad nahi mujhko kab muskaraya tha main,
ke iss jahan mein kitni thokar khaya tha main,
bas yoon hi chalta raha kha-kha ke thokare,
ke jaise ghum ke waaste duniya mein aaya tha main.

jab bhi dekhta hoon andhere nazar karte hain,
zakam itne gahre hain har pal yeh asar karte hain,
koi saath deta duniya mein to baat hi aur thi,
ki bas intezaar mout ka saamo sahar karte hain.

tumhara naam likhne ki ijaazat chhin gaye jab se

tumhara naam likhne ki ijaazat chhin gaye jab se,
koi lafaz likhta hoon to ankhein bheeg jaati hai.

tumhari yaadon ki khushbu kirano se raks karti hai,
tere ghum mein sulagta hoon to ankhien bheeg jaati hai.

na jaane ho gaya hoon iss kadar hatash main kab se,
kisi se baat karta hoon to aankhein bheeg jaati hai.

main sara din bahut mashruf rehta hoon magar jyun hi,
kadam chukhat pe rakhta hoon to ankhein bheeg jaati hai.

teri galion se ab mera taluk wajeeb sa hai,
magar jab bhi nikalta hoon aankhein bheeg jaati hai.

aaj phir dil hai kuch udaas udaas

dard apnata hai paraaye kaun,
kaun sunnta hai aur sunaaye kaun? 

kaun doharaye woh puraani baat,
gham abhi sooya hai, jagaaye kaun? 

woh jo apne hain, kya woh apne hain,
kaun dukh jhele, aazamaaye kaun? 

ab sukun hai to bhulane mein hai,
lekin us shakhs ko bhulaaye kaun? 

aaj phir dil hai kuch udaas udaas,
dekhiye aaj yaad aaye kaun? 

zamana karta hai baatein main dil pe nahi leta

zamana karta hai baatein, main dil pe nahi leta,
uska ungli utha dena, mera dil thord deta hai. 

jaane kaisa safar hai yeh manjil-e-mohobaat ka,
jahan par dard bhi uska saath chord deta hai. 

main karta hoon kosish hasne ki,
magar yeh dekhna uska yaad se jord deta hai.

woh karti rehti hai fariyaadein mere marne ki,
apno ki dua ka baadal maut ko mordh deta hai. 

nahi bharta hai dil kyun uska mujhe tardpane se,
hevaan bhi dekh ke halaat sitaam chord deta hai. 

zamana karta hai baatein, main dil pe nahi leta,
uska ungli utha dena, mera dil thod deta hai. 

the search goes on to open the door

there is a lock on a door,
one very peculiar to me, 

no one has ever been able to open it,
never been able to find the right key,

there is thought to be some beauty inside,
something special for the one who lets it be,

yet the door remains mysterious,
to those who try to see,

it is said that the one who locked the door,
did so unintentionally,

I often try to look inside,
to gain some clarity,

once I thought the key was found,
one who tried very faithfully,

but the search goes on to open the door,
that will let my heart go free.

mujhe aaram karne do, mujhe abb mat jagaao tum

mujhe aaram karne do,
mujhe abb mat sataao tum, 
thakan sadiyon ki hai mujh ko,
mujhe abb mat jagaao tum.

meri khamosh aankhon se,
koi kissa na kehna tum, 
mere kahwbon ke sehra mein,
mujhe ab mat rulao tum. 

dukhon ki ek kahani thi,
ussi ka aakhri hissa,
bohat arrse se jaari tha,
usse ab mat dohraao tum. 

maire veeraan kamre mein,
teri tasveer abb bhi hai,
yeh abb kamre ka hissa hai,
isse abb mat hataao tum. 

mere jaane ki baaton par,
kabhi woh hanste rehte the,
mere jaane ki baaton par,
usse ab mat hansaao tum. 

tumhaari diary ke aakhri
panno mein main tha, 
panne yoon to na phado tum,
mujhe yoon na mitaao tum. 

kahin samandar, kahin sahil,
kabhi mitti, kabhi paani, 

mujhe jo cheezein bakhsin thi,
ussi se ghar banaao tum. 

wahin par hoon, main waisa hoon,
ab aaye ho to ruk jaana,
thakan ki dastaan apni,
mujhe abb mat sunaao tum. 

mujhe aram karne do,
mujhe ab maat jagaao tum.

ghazlein chura-churra ke mashhoor ho gaye

auron ki ghazle padh ke jo maghroor ho gaye,
woh panne shayari se bahut door ho gaye,

ustaad samajjhne lage woh apne aap ko,
ghazlein chura-churra ke,  jo mashhoor ho gaye,

ashaar khud ke likhe hue, to na the magar,
daad-e-sukhan mili to woh masroor ho gaye.

ek dafa maine uska haath jab apne haath mein liya

ek dafa maine uska haath jab
apne haath mein liya to woh muskara di,

usne kaha.. 

tumhara haath kitna garam hai,
aur garam haat wafa ki nishani hoti hai. 

main iss kadar khush hua ki... 
sab kuch bhool gaya,

magar aaj barso baad
mujhe iss baat ka ehsaas hua ki,
uska haat kitna thanda tha.

ek dooje se hum bichard gaye

ek dooje se hum bichard gaye,
hum tab se bilkul ujard gaye, 

ab jeewan hai soona soona sa,
ab yaadein roz satati hain,

ab saansein ruk ruk aati hain,
ab raat ko dair se sotein hain,

ab neend se uth uth roote hain,
par jazbat hai ab bhi laazmi ,

iss lamhein mein ashk bahaao mat,
tum dil ko aur jalaao mat, 

yeh zakhm-e-wafaa chup-chaap sahein,
aankhon se kahein.. aur khaamosh rahein,

ha.. ek dooje se hum bichard gaye,

hum tab se bilkul ujard gaye.  

unki yaad chupke se chali aayi hai

iss kadar humare har taraf tanhai hai,
ujaalo mein bhi andhero ki parchai hai,

yeh kya hua jo gir gaye palkon par ruke anshu,
shayad unki yaad chupke se chali aayi hai.

na main hans saka na main ro saka

na kisi ki aankh mein kho saka,
na koi bhi mera ho saka,

main hoon kafia jo bikhar gaya,
na ghazal mein koi piro saka,

mere ashq-e-gham to bahe magar,
main na dil kisi ka bhigo saka,

koi aankh gadi thi jheel si,
na main khud ko us mein dubo saka,

ab dil nahi hai yeh sang-e-dil,
koi gham na isko chubho saka,

jise baazuon pe naaz tha,
zulfon ka bhar na dho saka,

ashq-e-wafaaon ka kafila,
daagh-e-jafa ko na dho saka,

nagma-e-ishq bahut likhe,
koi beej-e-ishq na bo saka,

hua haal kuch aisa ki,
na main hans saka na main ro saka.

tanhai ke iss aalam mein ek tanha alfaaz yaad aaya

tanhai ke iss aalam mein ek tanha alfaaz yaad aaya,
us alfaaz ko dil ne ek saaz mein sajaaya, 

naa jaane phir bhi kyon uss raag ko maine adhoora paaya,
aur rukhe se uss lamhein mein khudko tannha paaya, 

dil mein pyaar ka ehsaas humne ek din paaya,
ikraar jab karna chaha to 

uski aankhon mein kisi aur ka naam paaya,

hataash iss dil ne phir ek alfaaz gun-gunaaya,
alfaaz ko isne ek naye saaz mein sajaaya, 

tanhai ko tab humne apna jeevan saathi banaya,
aur us saaz ko apne jeevan ka raag banaya.

sirf aaj ki raat hai mujhe apna bana kar sona

subah hote hi tere shehar se jana hai mujhe,
aaj ki raat zara mujhe mana kar sona.

koi na sunega mere baad dukh tumhare,
mujhe apna har dukh suna kar sona.

chale jayenge to roya karoge yaad kar ke,
sirf aaj ki raat hai, mujhe apna bana kar sona.

hum to toot ke chahte the tumhein,
tum ne humein kyun na chaha, yeh baat bata kar sona.

shayad mere aanshu tujhe khreed lein,
aaj mere aanshoun ki keemat laga kar sona.

kya hum mohabbat mein nakam the?

kar baithe hum mohabbat nadan the,
teri chanchal addao se pareshan the,

kitna muskil hota hai baat dil ki juban par lana,
iss baat se hum to anjaan the,

unke samne aate hi khamosi kuch iss kadar chaai,
jaise hum barso se bejubaan the,

par unka bhi iss kadar khamosh ho kar laut jana,
iss baat se bahut hum hairan the,

kya hum mohabbat mein nakam the?

ek pal bhi chain se guzra ho to kasam le lo

ek pal bhi chain se guzra ho to kasam le lo,
siwaye yaadon ke koi aur sahara ho to kasam le lo,

pehe to baat aur thi jo tum pe hakk jatate the,
ab khud par bhi koi hakk hamara ho to kasam le lo,

tum hi ne kaha tha ke tumhare labon par mera hi naam aaye,
uske baad jo liya ho naam kisi ka to kasam le lo.

juda hone ka andesha, juda hone se pehle tha

juda hone ka andesha, juda hone se pehle tha,
woh mujh se intehai khush, khafa hone se pehle the,

junoon ka daur guzra to muje bhi bhool baithe woh,
ebatat-e ishq tha lekin, juda hone se pehle tha,

main kaise soch sakta tha, mujhe woh chord jayege,
bahut hi wafadar woh, bewafa hone se pehle the.

jo na karna tha woh kiya usne

jaane phir kyun khud ko hi mujh se juda kiya usne,
jo na karna tha woh kiya usne,  jane kyun khafa kiya usne. 

yaad karne se bhi na yaad aaun, aise mujh ko bhula diya usne,
main to bas waqt ki zarorat hoon, mujh ko aakhir bata diya usne,

apne hathon se khud hi likh ke mera naam, 

jaane phir kyun mita diya usne.

jiss shaam baraste hain teri yaad ke badal

jiss shaam baraste hain teri yaad ke badal,
uss subah koi aam-e-khas ke tara nahi hota,

yun hi mere pehlu mein chala aata hai aksar,
woh dard jisse maine pukara nahi hota.

batao tumhein kaisa lagega?

ban jaon agar tumsa to tumhein kesa lagega,
har pal main rahoon tumse khafa, to tumhein kaisa lagega?

padate ho jo tum mujhe mantra-jaap ki tarha,
ho jaaon agar tumse khafa, to tumhein kaisa lagega?

tum pyar mein khud ko mitane par ho raazi,
ban jaaye pyar saza, to kaisa lagega?

khud se bhi jada yakeen ho tume kisi par,
woh shaks hi agar de daga, to kaisa lagega?

gumnaam hi rehne do mujhe

mangta hoon pyar tum se nafraat to naa do,
gar saath naa de saako to yeh gham-e-halat to naa do, 

tum mujh se pyar naa karo mujhe ghum nahi,
tum mere baare mein socho yeh koi kum nahi, 

main koi badnaseeb nahi.. mujhe barkat to na do,
gar pyaar na de sako to nafrat to na do. 

mujh par tum ehsaan karo, aise mere haalaat nahi,
par yeh to na kaho ki dil mein mere liye sawaalat nahi. 

apne nashe mein dooba ki yun ab awaz to na do,
inn toote hoye taaon ke be-aawaz saaz to na do. 

tum phoolon ke saaz na de sako to, kaanton ke malaal to na do,
veerano mein rota hoon yun hans-hans kar ab zaher to na do. 

tum soo jaao aur main raaton ko jaagta rahoon,
banwraa ban chand sitaron ke sang bhagta rahoon, 

har khushi ab tumhare liye ho, mujhe ab gham to na do,
main hoon aabad nahi barbaad, yeh bharam ab to na do. 

mujhe pyaar na de sake to aur nafrat to na do,
gumnaam hi rehne do badnaami ki sohraat to na do.

ek din achanah hi phone aa gaya uska

ek din achanah hi phone aa gaya uska,
lehje ki malumat se ho raha tha sab zahir, 

ro rahi thi shidat se ladkhadate lafzon se,
kar rahi thi baatein woh tum kahan the itne din?

roz phone karti thi ki baat tum se karni hai,
jo bahut zaroori hai, 

khush nahi hoon main bhi kuch, 
pyaar tera thukra kar sara din tardapti hoon,

chain hi nahi milta, 

jagti hoon raat bhar main, 
neend hi nahi aati,

 jo nahi kaha kal tak, aaj tum se kehti hoon, 

pyaar tum se karti hoon. 

maine phir kaha usse, main na kehta tha tum se..

ek din tumhein aana hai laut kar tumhein wapis,
kaise tum bina mere zindagi guzarogi,

zinda tum rahogi par zindagi na hogi woh,
ek ek lamhein mein yaad meri aayegi,

doosri taraf se phir keh-keha sa aaya ek,
aur woh kehne lagi tum bhi kitne pagal ho,
jante nahi itna.. aaj ‘first april’ hai.

jinhein dhoop se hai parhez, woh chhau mein bhi jalte hain

mehez chhune se bikher jaayein, 

jinhein dhoop se hai parhez, 
woh chhau mein bhi jalte hain. 

isse pehle ke sham ho aye hawa, 
unke chadd tak le chal mujhe, 

suna hai woh akser raaton ko, 
ghar se chori chhipe nikalte hain.

jehan mein unki yaadein, juban pe unka naam rahe baki

gujar jaaye tamam zindagi,

aur yeh sham rahe baki,

jehan mein unki yaadein,
juban pe unka naam rahe baki,

bas itna karna aye khuda,
ke marte dum tak..

dil mein peene ki chah aur,
labon pe unki mohabbat ka jaam rahe baki.

jisne dil se humein bhulaya hai, ab bhi dil mein wahi samaya hai

jisne dil se humein bhulaya hai,
ab bhi dil mein wahi samaya hai, 

jaane woh kaise apne dil se mujhe bhula baithe,
maine jab bhi bhulana chaha unhein,
mujh ko bhoola bhi yaad aaya hai.

woh sunte nahi meri yeh alag baat hai,
yun to dil ne usse har ghadi bulaya hai,

unki bewafai ka kisi se gila kya karte,
apni hi wafaon ne bas humein rulaya hai.

chhurdale mujh ko aye maut kahin se aakar,
zindagi ne mujhe aaj bahut hi sataya hai.

abke baras ek shikayat mujh ko sawan se rahi,
chhod kar ghatayein meri aankhon mein utar aaya hai.

tune apni zindagi

tune apni zindagi,
khushiyon mein di guzaar,

main chal raha hoon aaj bhi,

apne ghumon ke saath saath.

jisko bhi chaha wahi cheej na paayi humne

har jagah se teri pehchan hatayi humne,
be-sabab ghar ki har ek cheej sajayi humne.

jaan le leti teri yaad yakinan ek din,
yoon bhula ke tujhe yeh jaan bachayi humne .

humne ki thi kabhi jinki salamati ki dua,
umra bhar unke liye di hai duhayi humne.

jis taraf se bhi hua sikwa apni nazron se,
phir kabhi uss taraf na aankh uthayi humne.

bas burayi hi mili hai uski aur se,
jiske bhi saath ki hai bhalayi humne

teri firak mein kyu bhatke yeh ab sochte hain,
keemati zindagi kyun aise ganwayi humne.

bekarari mein jo likhe the kabhi tere liye,
unhin kahton ko aaj aag lagayi humne.

jo bhi milta hai yahan, nasibon se milata hai,
jisko bhi chaha wahi cheej na paayi humne.

yeh to ek din hona hi tha

mere jazbe se khelna hi tha,
unhein iss dil ko tordna hi tha.

kyun aayi meri zindagi mein tum,
jab mujhe tannha chordna hi tha?

kyun mujhe pyar ka dhokha diya hai,
jab tujhe gair ka hona hi tha?

rishte-rishte hain, kachhe dhage nahi,
jhute rishton ko to ek din chordna hi tha.

baat kuch aise puchh baithe woh ki,
na chahate huye bhi humein jhooth bolna hi tha.

anjam-e wafa dekh kar hairaan kyun ho,
yeh to ek din hona hi tha.

kuch namumkin sa karne ko dil chaahe

tang aakar zindagi se marne ko jee chaahe,
koshish -e- khudkushi karta hoon to jeene ko dil chaahe.

kab se koshis thi iss makam tak aane ki,
aaj pahuncha hoon to laut jaane ko dil ko chaahe.

jo kiya hai woh bhi mushkil tha, jo paya woh aasaan na tha,
phir bhi kuch namumkin sa karne ko dil chaahe.

woh shard hawa, woh khuli subah, 

woh kamshin, woh nayab haseen..
sach puchho to usse banhon mein bharne ko dil chaahe.

tardapta chordkar be-perwah, rawan ho jaate hain

dekhte-dekhte hawa ho jaate hain,
jane kab bachhe jawaan ho jaate hain. 

kal tak jo khelte the dhool-mitti mein be-khabar,
ab to chhune se khafa ho jaate hain. 

samajh na paya kabhi main inki fitrat ko,
kabhi khud marz.. kabhi khud dawa ho jaate hain. 

iss daure jawaani mein kahin fariyad.. kahin naaz,
kuch rote hain wafa ko, kuch bewafa ho jaate hain. 

jawaan dil ko behlane wali kisi kitab ka
dilchasp ek safa ho jaate hain. 

woh apne lutf mein kisi ki gujarish nahi sunte,
tardapta chordkar be-perwah, rawan ho jaate hain.

teri yaad mere dil se jaaye bhi to sahi

koi shay humko bhaye bhi to sahi,
sukun aankhon ko aaye bhi to sahi.

tamam raat jaagne se fayda kya hai,
main janta hoon magar.. neend aaye bhi to sahi.

main khud bhi sochta hoon ki main bhula doon tujhko,
par teri yaad mere dil se jaaye bhi to sahi.

har waqt sochte rehne se bhala kya hasil,
nikal kar jehan khayalon se aaye bi to sahi.

kab se lete hain shamsaan ki taraf muh kiye hue,
kisi bahane humein maut aaye bhi to sahi.

jo kehte hain tumhein madhosh karke chhordenge,
mere labon tak woh jaam laaye bhi to sahi.

chhord dein ghar ko hum bhi lekin
lene koi humko aaye bhi to sahi.

na to manzil na humsafer na koi karwan hai

na to manzil, na humsafer, na koi karwan hai,
raston mein bas dhuan-dhuan sa hai.

unke daman mein to chaand-taare hain,
mere hisse mein to khaali-aasman hain.

zakham pe zakham diye jaata hai,
dil ko lagta hai mera meherban hai.

kayi roz se yeh dil kahin lagta hi nahi,
din hai veeran-veeran, raatein gumzada hain.

zamane bhar ko hua unka deedar magar
udher se muh chhupa ke gujare, jidhar mera makan hai.

jabse bikhra hua saman sajaya hai maine,
ghar bada khali khali sa ho gaya hai.

jo pankh fad-fada ke reh jata hai akser,
dikhta nahi us par kahin mahoul ka rand,

iss shehar mein shayad woh naya-naya hai,
parinda woh abhi jara nadan sa hai.

padosi ka haal poonchun, yeh fursat kahan hai?
mera chulha khud abhi dhuan-dhuan hai.

apne dar-e-jehen pe kuch tikta hi nahi,
abhi zami thi abhi aasman hai.

kitne hi log roz aate hain, chale jaate hain

kitne hi log roz aate hain, chale jaate hain,
jism mar jata hai, kaarnamein hi reh jaate hain, 

kuch khash karne ki koshish bhi lagi rehti hai,
kuch kiye hote hain, kuch kar jaate hain,
kuch karne ki tamanna dil mein leke hi mar jaate hain.

dooriyan kam jada hain, manjil to ek hi hai,
phir kyun jaane ka rasta alag-alag apnate hain?

jauhri ki talash mein ghumnamiyon mein kho gaye,
kuch bes-keemti heere bhi dhul mein mil jaate hain,

kisi ko pet bhar ke bhi takiye se chubhan hoti hai,
aur kuch bhukhe pet hi footpath pe so jaate hain.

ki fasana-e-zindagi insaan ka sunte-sunte,
aankh kya cheej hai, dil bhi bhar jaate hai.

kitne gumnaam the teri mohabbat mein ruswa hone se pehle

kitne gumnaam the teri
mohabbat mein ruswa hone se pehle,

ajnabi log bhi ab hanske
mera haal poochhte hain.

tinke-tinke bikhra paya, dhunda jo khud ko ek din

tinke-tinke bikhra paya, dhunda jo khud ko ek din,
jiker apna kahin na paya, logo se jo pucha ek din. 

leh-lahate khet the aur unpar sunehri dhup thi,
gulshan ko bhi sehra paya, murd ke jo dekha ek din. 

josh tha.. woh kharosh tha sar pe uthaya aasman,
palkon ko bhi utha na paya, thak ke jo dekha ek din. 

gum pareshani thi, uljhan charon taraf, dukh-dard tha,
in sabki beech mein jo dekha, bhatka sa paya ek din.

aisa tha aaram, tha daulat kamai raat din,
par laga kuch na kamaya, khuda naam jaap bin. 

mandir dekha, masjid dekhi, dekhe girje.. guruduare,
par laga ke kuch na dekha, ya khuda tere deedar bin.

iss kader aadmi patther kyun hai

baat yeh nahi woh itna sitamger kyun hai,
iss kader aadmi patther kyun hai?

hum to pehle se tujhpe mar mitte hain,
phir tere haath mein khanjer kyun hai? 

tu bhi insaan hai ek meri tarah,
dil mera itna majboor kyun hai? 

siwaaye husn.. koi baat aur nahi usmein,
jaane iss sheher mein woh itna mashoor kyun hai? 

woh agar khush hai to mujhko koi malal nahi,
gum to itna hai.. mere gum se bekhabar kyun hai? 

khuda par to yakin humko pura hai,
phir har dua humari be-aser kyun hai? 

jisko chaha woh tootne se raha, aur jo toota usse joda na gaya

halaat se majboor to bahut the magar,
apna dil khud kabhi torda na gaya.

jisko chaha woh tootne se raha,
aur jo toota usse joda na gaya.

main to fitarat se hi sanzeeda hoon,
aur usse bachpana chhora na gaya.

khud lachak kar jiski shaakh ne kaha humse,
humse woh phool bhi torda na gaya.

jisse har aks ko shikayat hai,
kyun aisa aaina torda na gaya.

yakinan usne badha di meri dushbariyan par
woh uske hal par chhora na gaya.

main janta tha uske saath chalna mushkil hai,
magar woh raah mein chhora na gaya.

kuch to humko hai shikayat iss zalim zamane se

kuch to humko hai shikayat iss zalim zamane se,
aur kuch pareshan hain hum apne dil deewane se.

jab-jab bhi chorda hath se, tab-tab main tuta hoon,
baaz na aaya zamana phir bhi aazmane se.

jaane kyun aye khuda teri talash rehti hai,
jab jab khafa hua main apane ashiyane se.

yun to peete peete surahi tamam khali kar daali,
phir bhi pyase laute hain shaqi tere maiykhane se.

jaate jaate mord tak, magroor palat-te bhi nahi,
haqikat jhank na le kahin palkon ke shamyane se.

humko bhi khuda kisi layak bana deta,
kash chale jaate unke ghar kisi bahane se.

hothon tak nahi late yeh aur baat hai,
sachhai vawasta hai phir bhi ankahe fasane se.

mastghan tere rone se zamane mein shiddatein,
shole kyun baraste hain jaane tere muskurane se.

main jo kahoon ishq dhong hai, tu nahi-nahi kaha kare

tere hont hansna bhi bhool jaye,
teri aankh par naam raha kare,

tu us ki baatein suna kare,
woh nazar jhuka kar chala kare,

tere khawab bikhre toot kar,
tu kirchi-kirchi chunna kare,

tu nagar-nagar phira kare,
tu gali-gali sada kare,

main kahoon ishq dhong hai,
tu nahi-nahi kaha kare.

koi hai jo tujhko bhulane nahi deta

halat -e- khudkushi mein bhi marne nahi deta,
koi hai jo mujhe yeh gunah karne nahi deta. 

kitni hai mujhe tumse narazgi phir bhi,
koi hai jo mujhe tumse lardne nahin deta. 

aaye dil.. tut-ta rehta hoon main,
koi hai jo mujhe phir bhi bikharne nahi deta. 

mere liye kayi aur bhi darwaje khule hain,
koi hai jo mujhe dar-ba-dar phirne nahi deta. 

wahi dilkashi ab bhi hai tere husn mein magar,
koi hai jo teri aarzu karne nahi deta. 

kayi zakham hain aise jo dum nikal rahe hain,
koi hai jo phir aah tak bharne nahi deta. 

mujhko malum hai ki humraaz tu bewafa hai,
koi hai jo phir bhi tujhko bhulane nahi deta.

gaye waqt ko phir se bulana chahta hoon

main pichhli zindagi mein laut jana chahta hoon,
haan gaye waqt ko phir se bulana chahta hoon.

nigahein pher li tumne apni shaadi ke baad,
aur ab to main bhi tumhein bhool jana chahta hoon.

mujhe kya garaz ke gair ho gayi ho tum,
main tumhein aaj bhi pehle hi jitna chahta hoon.

bada malal hai tumhein khone ka khuda ki kasam,
sach puchho to main tumhein ab bhi paana chahta hoon.

bahut sata rahi hai zindagi mujhe tere bina,
aa paas aa teri banhon mein marna chahta hoon.

na karne de mujhe aaraam teri yaad kahin,
main iss duniya se bahut door jana chahta hoon.

kayi din, kayi raaton se main soya nahi hoon,
ab teri gaud mein ser rakh ke sona chahta hoon.

hasrat -o- armaan sab dil ke mitana chahta hoon,
lipat ker tujhse main jee bhar ke rona chahta hoon.

ki dekha hai humne har mausam ko badalte huye

ki dekha hai humne har mausam ko badalte huye,
kya maloom tha ki har rut yun bemaani ho jaayegi, 

thi jinhein parvaah kabhi hamari khud se bhi zyaada,
kya pata tha maut bhi uske haathon se aayegi, 

chalo achha hua ki katl usne kiya mera,
ki aur koi jaan leta meri to khud se khafa hota. 

yeh zindagi amanat thi tumhaari shauk se le lete,
magar mazaa aa jata agar 

tumhaari aakhon mein ek ashq hota. 

ishq ke bazaar mein ishq nahi milta

ishq ke bazaar mein ishq nahi milta,
hamein iss kitaab mein tera zikra nahi milta. 

woh aur honge jo yaadon mein mit gaye,
hamein kisi ki aankh mein ab ashq nahi milta. 

kareeb ho jo mere is dil k dhadkano se zyaada
talasha har jagah ab woh raqeeb nahi milta

log kehte ki.. sazaye maut hai mere naseeb mein,
main kya karoon mujhe woh ajeez nahi milta. 

masroof rehna teri yaadon mein kisi ko gawara nahi,
yahan sachhe pyaar ka koi mureed nahi milta. 

mehsoos kar na paaya koi iss dil ki bechaini ko,
koi kisi ke liya itna bekaraar nahi milta. 

judaai mohabbat ki takdeer hai

judaai to mohabbat ki takdeer hai,
do dilon ko jo torde yeh woh lakeer hai, 

mohaabat agar hai aaina khud ka,
to yeh aaine ke peechhe ki tasveer hai, 

tujhe tardapna na pade meri tarah ishq mein,
tere saath meri khushiyon ki zaageer hai, 

meri maut pe aana ek rasm hi sahi,
yeh hamaari mohabbat ki aakhri zanzeer hai. 

pariyon si ek ladki ki ek dard bhari kahaani

woh beeti huyi shaam apne saath yaadon ko bhi le gayi,
woh aanshuon mein bheegi huyi ek dastaan bhi thi keh gayi,
bayaan karta hoon apne lafzon mein zazbaaton ki ek kahaani,
pariyon si ek ladki ki ek dard bhari kahaani. 

yeh dastaan thi ek masum pari ki jispe pyaar ka saaya tha,
jo toot gayi thi tabse, jabse kissi ne usse thukraaya tha,
khamosh ho chuke labon par ek sannaata chha jata tha,
ashkon se bheege huye chehre se jab zulfon ko maine hataya tha. 

muskuraati thi woh hardam harpal woh muskati thi,
main poochhta tha dard uska woh nagme gungunati thi,
jab bheeg jati thi palkein kissi ko yaad karke,
dekhti thi meri taraf dil k tukde char karke, 

main thamna jo chahta kabhi woh door hat jaati thi,
mujhse apni dooriyon ka ehsaas bhi dikhati thi,
bebas thi woh dil ke haathon aur iss zamaane se anjaan thi,
nafrat bhi kaise karti woh, usse sirf pyaar ki pehchaan thi. 

maine chorda oousse kucch waqt akele uski tanhaai mein,
dil ne roka mujhe bahut par chal diya de kar usse judaai main,
jab lauta main waapas to woh phir se muskuraayi thi,
shayad kissi ke pyaar ki chamak uski aankhon mein utar aayi thi. 

ussne bhar ke mujhko baahon mein pyaar se dekha tha,
jab maine usse uski khushi ka raaz poochha tha,
sharmaayi thi woh phir usne dheere se sar ko jhukaya tha,
bataya usne ki dil uska phir kissi par aaya tha. 

main khush tha usse dekh kar, uski khushiyon mein muskuraya tha,
par phir kyun utha yeh dard sa dil mein, main isko samajh na paya tha,
main phir chal diya alag raah par usse chord kar uski duniya mein,
tanha reh gaya tha main jaise kyun main isse samajh na paaya tha. 

door tha main phir usse par uski yaadon se nahi tha,
shayad main pehli baar uski khushiyon se khush nahi tha,
beete kayi din woh yaadon ke saaye mein thi kho gayi,
zindagi ke ek mord par usse mulakat phir se ho gayi. 

main dekhta raha usse, woh mujhko dekhti rahi,
maine poochha na usse kuch, aankhon mein baat ho gayi,
thukraaya tha aaj usne kissi ko, jaane kya baat thi ho gayi,
jaise woh har gham se, har khushi se anjaan ho gayi. 

kuch na kaha maine usse, bas phir se dosti ko thaam liya,
mohabbat ke kayi roop hai, bas iss baat ko maan liya,
na chahat thi kissi aur ki, na kissi ke pyaar ki aarzoo thi,
bas woh mere saath thi, na ab kissi ki talaash thi. 

dastaan yeh yahin par khatam nahi hoti hai,
yeh zindagi ki iske har panne par nayi ibarat likhi hoti hai.

meri pehchaan ko ab tum mita do

na koi jaane mujhe na main kisi ko jaanu,
meri pehchaan ko ab tum mita do, 

main ab reh nahi sakta usse juda hokar,
mujhe qatl kar do ya karwa do, 

main na chahon ab kissi aur ko na koi mujhe chahe,
mujhe nafrat karna bhi tum sikha do, 

ki dooba hua hoon main dard mein,
magar main kehta nahin ki mujhe dawa do, 

tha bahut kamzor yeh dil mera,
magar kab kaha tha maine ki mujhe patthar tum bana do.

hasrat mujhe teri yaad mein ek jahan tak le jaati hai

hasrat mujhe teri yaad mein ek jahan tak le jaati hai,
jahan par sirf paagalpan aur deewanapan hi reh jaata hai,
meri tanhaiyaan bhi nahi aati hai dhoondne mujhko,
phir kyun lagta hai ki kissi ne mujhko pukara ho? 

kissi ki aankhein uss raste ko nahi takti hai,
magar teri yaad mein main baawaron ki tarah phirta hoon,
kyun jab main tere saath tha tu khamosh rahi,
kyun tu ab har kisi se mera zikra karti hai? 

main tujhe le kar baitha raha aagosh mein,
jab hosh aaya to mehsoos hua ki khwaab tha,
toote the saare sapnay mere jabse,
mera dil har khushi se niraash tha. 

bas ab tujhse yeh iltiza karta hoon,
akela chhord de mujhe mere haal par,
main karta hoon mohabbat ab bhi tujhse,
par dil kehta hai ki tu ab pyaar na kar. 

jab tum hum se sare-baazar mil kar bicharde the

mere dua ke lafz tut-tut kar bicharde the, 
jab tum hum se sare-baazar mil kar bicharde the. 

judaai ke woh manzar aaj bhi hain nigahon mein, 
jab tum mere bann kar duniya se nikle the. 

tujhe apni kismat samjh kar dil se lagaya tha humne, 
sabab-a-bewafai kitne gunah faristo ne likhe the. 

kitna khush tha apna dil unke panahoo mein, 
jana dard tab jab phool ke patton ki tarha hum bicharde the. 

kis kadar kaid the uski nigahon mera mera dil, 
jaise wadiyon se duaae le kar nikle the, 

phoolon ki bistar mein mili hain ghum-e-tanahai, 
ajab shakas tha muskaraya tab jab kanton se mile the.
