what is wrong what is right

why do I want to cry..
every time you look into my eyes?

why does it hurts..
every time I delay the tempting kiss of suicide?

why does my life loves to kill me?
why my movements want to still me?

and when I write suicide notes with killing sadness,
my sobbing eyes swell with redness,

why shouldn’t I die before my next breath?
why do I prolong this death?

so what is wrong what is right?
what about tonight?

kaun aayega yahaan, koi na aaya hoga

kaun aayega yahaan, koi na aaya hoga,

mera darwaaza havaaon ne hilaaya hoga.

dil-e-naadaan na dhadak, aye dil-e-naadaan na dhadak,
koi khhat leke padosi ke ghar aaya hoga.

gul se lippti huyi titali ko giraakar dekho,
andhiyon tum ne sukhi drakhton ko giraaya hoga.

‘raaj’ pardesh mein mat yaad karo apana makaan,
ab ke baarish mein usse tord giraaya hoga.

all I hope and ask for

all I hope and ask for O’ lord..

is that tomorrow when I lay to rest,
another one of my remaining days,

let my eyes glisten,
not with sorrow or shame,
but innocent pride!

let my head not be bowed
with the worthless weight

of another dawdling day,
but be contentedly raised,

on seeing a panting day
hit the finishing line with success.

O' lord.. leave me not

with the ghost of grief – borne by failure,
but with the spirit of success 

he legacy of a winner!!

aise hote hain pitah

jeevan mila jinse, woh jeevandaan hai pitah,
pukara jaaye chaahe kisi bhi bhasha mein
kehkar papa, baba, babuji...
har boli mein inke liye hai 

wahi pyaar aur samman bhara.

thaame jinki ungli bachpan challa,
jinki majboot kandhon par baithkar duniya dekhi,
godh par baith kiye nakhere dher jinke,
jinhone apne sneh se hamein bada kiya,
woh hai pitah!

choti se choti jeet par bhi jinse shabashi mili,
har haar ko jinhone sikh bataya,
nirash ko door bhagaya,
jeevan ki sachaai se hamein rubaru karaya,
sahi aur galat mein antar samjhaya,
jinhone apne bachoon ke sukh mein hi apna sukh paya,

bachoon ke liye har pareshani haskar uthaaya,
jinki puri sansaar unke bachoon mein hi samaya,
woh hain pitah!

kabhi kadak ho jaate to kabhi naram bade,
lagate hain pabandiyan to kabhi dete hain choot puri,
kabhi hansaate hain to kabhi rulaate hain,
kabhi maa ki daat-maar se bachaate hain,
to kabhi khud hi chapat laga dete hain,
aise hote hain pitah!

pyaar se thapki dekar sulaate hain,
to kabhi khana banakar apne haathon se bhi khilaate hain,
jarurat ho to maa ke bhi saare kartavya nibhate hain,
din raat mehnat kar apne bachoon ke bhavishya ko sawarte hain,
har din, har pal unke ujjwal bhavishwa ke hi sapne bunte jaate hain,
apne har saans ko pitah apne bachoon par lutaaate hain,
kabhi kathor hokar to kabhi mom ki bhaati pighal jaate hain pitah!

aapki bhumika kayi roop se hai...
dhoop gar jalaye to chaao ban jaate hain,
wahi samay aane par ussi dhoop mein tapkar jeena sikhate hain,
baatein jinki hamesa maargdarshan karti hai,
kathinayion se lardte huye, viparit paristhithi mein bhi,
apne sidhanton par chalna sikhate hain,

sath mein ho yaa yaad mein,
inki upastithi hamesa mann ko sukun pohuchati hai,

aise hote hain pitah!

how much I miss you, no one knows

each moment spend with you is unforgetable,
without you, I am lonely and feeble,

when you were by my side, 

I took my sorrows in my stride,

the only thing I can say about you,
there was never a thing about me, which you never knew.

the gates of memory will never close,
how much I miss you, no one knows,

your sense of humour was really great,

to crack a joke you were never late.

I will never forget yor sweet smile,
which carry my gloom many a mile,

you are like a precious jewel,
in my heart you will always dwell.

Miss you Baba..!!

majhdhaar mein banke rahe pattvaar pitaaji

duniya ko bataate rahe majhdhaar pitaaji,
majhdhaar mein banke rahe pattvaar pitaaji,

saaya bhi unhi se hai, sahaara bhi unhi ka,
bachchon ke liye dar hai aur deevaar pitaaji.

chullha na pade thanda kabhi isleye aksar,
hansakar gaye hain kaam par beemaar pitaaji,

maa ke bimaari mein bachche, roti aur baratan,
aksar nibhaate maa ka bhi kiradaar pitaaji.

hain dost, alaarm, guru, to pabandiyaan kabhi,
thappad, nasihatein, kabhi akhabaar pitaaji.

I will be there

when true friendship
binds two individuals together,
that bond can never be broken.

for in times of confusion,
I will be there to listen to you.

in times of sadness,
I will be there to console you.

in times of anger,
I will be there to talk with you
even when miles separate us.

my friend.. 

when you are confused,
when you are sad, 

when you are angry,

search your heart, and I will be there.
I am and always will be your friend.

maa-baap ki sewa hi sabse badi puja hai

pitah jeewan hai, sambal hai, shakti hai,
pitah shristi ke nirmaan ki abhi-bhyakti hai,

pitah ungli pakkde bacche ka sahara hai,
pitah kabhi kuch khatta, khabhi khhara hai,

pitah paalan hai, poshan hai, pariwaar ka anushaashan hai,
pitah dhaus se chalne wala prem ka prashasan hai,

pitah rooti hai, kappda hai, makkan hai,
pitah chhote se parindon ka bada aashmaan hai,

pitah niswarth annant pyaar hai,
pitah hai to bachhon ka intezaar hai,

pitah se hi bachhon ke dher saare sapne hain,
pitah hai to baazar ke sab khilone apne hain,

pitah se pariwaar mein pratipal raag hai,
pitah se hi maa ka bindi aur suhaag hai,

pitah parmatama ki jagat ke prati aashakti hai,
pitah grihasta aashram mein uccha sthiti ki bhakti hai,

pitah apne ichhaon ka hannan aur pariwaar ki purti hai,
pitah rakt mein diya hua sanskaaron ki murti hai,

pitah ek jeewan ko jeewan ka daan hai,
pitah duniyan dikhaane ka ehsaan hai,

pitah suraksha hai, sar par haath hai,
pitah nahi to bachpaan anaath hai,

to pitah se bada tum apna naam karo,
pitah ka apmaan nahi, unn par abhimaan karo,

kyuki maa-baap ki kami koi bant nahi sakta,
aur ishwar bhi inki aashishon ko kaat nahi sakta,

vishwa mein kisi bhi devi-devta ka sthaan duja hai,
maa-baap ki sewa hi sabse badi puja hai,

vishwa mein kisi bhi tirtha ki yaatraein byarth hai,
yadi beta ke haathon mein maa-baap ashmartha hai,

woh khushnaseeb hain jo maa-baap ke sath hote hain,
kyuki maa-baap ki aashishon ke hazaron haath hote hain.

tanhaaiyon ka shikaar aadmi

har taraf har jagah beshumaar aadmi,
phir bhi tanhaaiyon ka shikaar aadmi.

subah se shaam tak bojh dhota hua,
apni hi laash ka khud mazaar aadmi.

har taraf bhaagte-daudte raashte,
har taraf aadmi ka shikaar aadmi.

roz jeeta hua, roz marta hua,
har naye din naya intezaar aadmi.

zindagi ka mukaddar safar dar safar,
aakhiri shaans tak bekaraar aadmi.

har taraf har jagah beshumaar aadmi,
phir bhi tanhaaiyon ka shikaar aadmi.

our family chain is broken now

we do not need a special day 

to bring you to our minds,
the days we do not think of you

are very hard to find.

each morning when we awake

we know that you are gone,
and no one knows the heartache

as we try to carry on.

our hearts still ache with sadness

and secret tears still flow,
what it meant to lose you

no one will ever know.

our thoughts are always with you, 

your place no one can fill,
in life we loved you dearly, 

in death we love you still.

there will always to be a heartache, 

and often a silent tear,
but always a precious memory

of the days when you were here.

if tears would make a staircase, 

and heartaches make a lane,
we woud walk the path to heaven 

and bring you home again.

we hold you close within our hearts

and there you will remain,
to walk with us throughout our lives

until we meet again.

our family chain is broken now,

and nothing seems the same,
but as god calls us one by one, 

the chain will link again.

har pal dhoondta raha main thikhana maut ka

har pal dhoondta raha main thikhana maut ka,
na jaane kab ho iss zindagi mein saamna maut ka,

woh jo muhje jeene ke liye kehte the kabhi,
unhein to kab ka mila gharana maut ka.

meri bebasi dekho..
ki gaa bhi sakta tarana maut ka.

unki de zindagi to aamant hai mere paas varna,
kab ka ho gaya hota samana mera aur maut ka.

ab to na marne ka haqdaar, na hi jeene ke kaabil,
zindagi boojh si baan chuki hai,

marne se pehle hi mar chuki hai,
ab kis muh se ja kar karoon saamna maut ka.

har pal dhoondta raha main thikhana maut ka,
na jaane kab ho iss zindagi mein samna maut ka.

even though I miss you you are not too far away

although our worlds are different now
or is that just how it seems,

for I see you when I close my eyes
because you are always in my dreams.

I know you are up in the heaven
and looking down on me,

and when I look up at the stars,
I know that’s where you will be.

even though I miss you
you are not too far away,

because my heart is full of memories
and treasure them everyday.

our time on earth was special
but it’s only the very start,

so please keep watching over me
while we are not so far apart.

someday the time will come
when I no longer feel this pain

that is the day when heaven calls
and we will meet again.

gujarte har lamhon mein.. aapko dhund leta hoon baba

aankhein michh kar soone se pehle,
jazbaat pighal kar roone se pehle,
jab aalfaz sinne mein dafan ho jaate hain,
tab yaadon se palkein bhigone se pehle,
aapke ashk se baatein karne lagta hoon,
tashveeron ko mana kar, unhi se ruth leta hoon baba,
gujarte har lamhon mein.. aapko dhund leta hoon baba !

bin mausam ki barsaat mein kabhi bheegne lagta hoon,
raat chaadar lapet kar thand ke maare jab kappne lagta hoon,
tab lagta hai jaise apna chaadar aap mujhe ordha rahe ho,
aur garm haathon ki narm ungliyon se mere baalon ko sehla rahe ho,
aapke hone ka ehsaas bhar se hi, har dard mein sukkun paa leta hoon baba,
yaadon ki chaadar ordhe har raat... aapko dhund leta hoon baba !

kisi raat sapnon mein puraane school pahuch jata hoon,
shaam dhalne par jab khil-khilate baccho ki toliyan nikalne lagti hai,
tab naa jaane dil ko kaisi aas bandh jaati hai,
meri nigaahein un cheharon mein kuch dhundane lag jaati hai,
dhundata hoon un haathon ko jinme jhaalmudi ki thayali hogi,
mera intezaar karti huyi, apni priya scooter kahi kadi hogi,
jispar sawar hone par ke khayaal se hi main jhoom leta hoon baba,
har nukkad, gali, chauraahe mein, aapko dhund leta hoon baba !

bheed mein akelapan ka ehsaas aapke bin hota hai,
jab kabhi bhi pariwaar mein kisi ka janam-din hota hai,
sabse chupte-chupaate koi tauffa le aaoge,
jo humse naa bujhi, woh mom-battiyan aap bujhaaoge,
bas yehi sochkar jaan bujhkar, aankhein mund leta hoon baba,
kabhi na khatam hone wale intezaar mein.. aapko dhund leta hoon baba !

woh aakhri pal nahi bhoolta mujhse kisi bhi haal mein,
aap zindagi ki door thaame ashpataal mein,
mujhse tab yeh kaha gaya ki kuch hi pal ab sesh bachi hai,
laga jaise khusiyon ki duniya ab dher ho chuki hai,
lekin maut ke farishton se chupte-chupaakar,
rakha tha aapne kuch saansein bachaakar,
aapki pairon ko apne hatheliyon se malte huye,
maine haathon mein aapke pairon ko jakkad rakha tha,
kuch naa keh kar bhi kitna kuch keh rakha tha.

aapse thi saari muskuraahat, aap khusiyon ke jahan the,
mere aanshu tab sukh chuke the, jab aap be-jubaan the,
ab to bas aapki tasveeron se baatein kar leta hoon,
dil kaagaz ban jaata hai, jispar dard apna likh deta hoon,
ussi dard ki dabbi huyi aawaz mein, likhe huye har alfaaz mein,
aapko dhund leta hoon baba,
gujarte har lamhon mein..
aapko dhund leta hoon baba !

my heart still aches with sadness and secret tears still flow

if tears could build a stairway and memories a lane,
I would walk right up to heaven and bring you back again.

no farewell words were spoken, no time to say goodbye,
you were gone before I knew it and only god knows why?

my heart still aches with sadness and secret tears still flow,
what it meant to love you, no one can ever know.

but now I know.. you want me to mourn for you no more,
to remember all the happy-times, life still has much in store.

since you will never be forgotten, I pledge to you today,
a hollow place within my heart.. is where you will always stay.

a limb has fallen from the family tree

a limb has fallen from the family tree,
I hear a voice that whispers.. "grieve not for me"

remember the best times, the laughter, the songs,
the good I lived while I was strong,

continue my heritage, I am counting on you,
keep smiling, the sun will shine through,

my mind is at ease, my soul is at reat,
remembering all.. how I was truly blessed,

continue tradition, no matter how small,
go on with your lives, don’t stare at the wall,

I miss you all dearly so keep up your chin,
until that fine day we are together again.

jaani pehchani si, ek khoobsurat yaad

kabhi aati hai khamoshi se, chupke se,
sargoshi se, andheri raat mein,

bheegi barsaat mein, kabhi veerane mein,
kabhi anjaane mein, kabhi mehfil mein,

kabhi tanhai mein, koi khabar kyun aati hai,
yeah waqt ke kis wajah se, kis ke liye,

kis ki khatir, kis ke liye,
kya batane, yeah kya hai?

ek ehsaas hai, ek pyaas hai,
phir bhi acchi lagti hai,

anjani si, baygani si,
pehchani si, ek khoobsurat yaad.

woh bhi kya din the jab bas khilone tutta karte the

woh bhi kya din the jab bas khilone tutta karte the,
girte the aanshu, par do pal ko rutha karte the.

khil-khila kar hansti thi khushiyaan,
alvida keh kar bhi kahan chhuta karte the.

baras ke sawan humein hansaya karta tha,
pyara sa bachpan hardum khushiya lutaya karta tha,

baba ke kandhon par baith dekhte the duniya,
sara zamana hum par sar jhukaya karta tha.

woh din woh bachpan bahut yaad aata hai,
woh zindagi phir jeene ko dil lalchaata hai.

sawal tujhse aye bhagwan aur niyati se bhi,
kyon itni jaldi ek baccha bada ho jata hai?

sometimes I can’t believe that you've actually gone

sometimes, I can’t believe baba
that you have actually gone,
yet you have left me with
an inner strength to build my life upon.

you have also left good memories
which within my heart I hold,
that no one can ever take away
for I treasure them like gold.

so dear baba rest peacefully,
you are in my every thought,
and I feel such thankfulness
for all the happiness you brought.

chalte-chalte bheed ke sath phir tannha ho gaye

chalte chalte bheed ke sath,
phir tannha hum ho gaye,

dhundhte rahe manzil ko,
aur karvaan guzar gaye.

sapne jo haqeekat se the,
raat ke shaayon mein kanhi soo gaye,

khushiyan jo daman mein the,
phoolon ki tarah, kaante se ho gaye.

lamhein jo apne the kabhi,
banker yaadein fizaaon mein kanhi kho gaye.

an empty house, an empty chair, a father’s love, no longer there

a father’s touch, a daddy’s kiss,
a grieving son, you are greatly missed.

an empty house, an empty chair,
a father’s love, no longer there.

a broken heart, tears filled eyes,
another soul to fill the sky.

many memories in my mind,
some I laugh, some I cry.

the time we shared, the laughs we had,
things I miss when I think of you dad.

realizing that’s all I have to hold on too,
only memories, of what once was you.

missing your laugh, I will never again hear,
that is the reality that fills me with so much fear.

no more smile on your face,
no more warmth of your embrace,

thae last hug, the last kiss,
the last goodbye leaves me with one last wish.

to have you dad, here today,
never to leave your son and daughter this way,

a father’s touch, a daddy’s kiss,
a grieving son you are greatly missed.

a million times I need you

you never said I am leaving,
you never said goodbye,
you were gone before we knew it,
and only God knows why?

a million times I need you,
a million times I cried,
if love alone could have saved you,
you never would have died.

in life I loved you dearly,
in death I love you still,
in my heart I hold a place,
that only you can fill.

it broke my heart to loose you,
but you didn’t go alone,
as part of me went with you,
the day God took you his home.

Missing You Always Baba...!!

forever you will live in my thoughts and never die

you are too precious to be forgotten,
and too priceless to be ever replaced.

you were one in a million 

and you will always be the precious 

and unique person I cared for... so dearly.

there are so many things I wish I had said and done,
but sadly can no longer do, now that you are gone..

but I want you to know that 

though you are out of sight,
you will always be in my heart.

I want you to know that I'll always cherish you, 

I'll always love you and always remember you..

forever will you live on, in my heart and mind,
forever you will live in my thoughts and never die.

and until that day, when we shall meet again,
I'll continue to cherish all my memories to you.

hoton par naam aate hi, yaadein tazza ho jaati hain baba,

hoton par naam aate hi,
yaadein tazza ho jaati hain baba,

yaad tazza hote hi,
aankhein chalak jaati hai baba,

guzre dino ki tasveer
saaf nazar aati hai baba,

sab hote huye bhi aapki
kami nazar aati hai baba.

even the strongest will, is broken down sometimes

even the strongest will,
is broken down sometimes,
even the most opened heart,
is closed of to it’s histories rhymes.

even the happiest heart,
is saddened more then less.
this is the truth of the life,
I must confess!!

the hardest worker, tries so hard,
the wisest man, is clearly smart,
but the hardest worker,
can’t do it all on his own,
and the smartest person,
doesn’t always know.

you can’t expect me, to be someone,
of such an easily broken will,
but when times get hard,
oh and they do get hard,

I cry out to you..

God of all this world,
you are wonderful,

I no need to worry, about my will,
you are all that counts,
in my heart of such distrust,

I trust only you, I know only you,
can pull me through these times,
God of all this world,
I cry out to you! !

you are the only strength
in this world that can pull me through.

bas yun hi yaadein dil mein sametey, yeh waqt gujarta jata hai

aapki kami khalti hai mujhe, yeh khaalipan tardpata hai,
bas yun hi yaadein dil mein sametey, yeh waqt gujarta jata hai.

ab pata chalta hai ki.. yeh zimmedariyon ka bojh kitna bhaari hai,
khud se jyada apno ki khusiyan pyaari hai,

daurdne pardte hain kadam, pakadne ko zindagi ki raftaar,
aaj to gujar gaya jaise taise, kal bhi hai aane ko taiyaar.

aapki majbooriyon ka mujhe ab ehsaas hota hai,
duniya hoti hai matlabi, aur ghar ka har saksh khaas hota hai.

maa ke baad pita hi samajhta hai khamosi bachhon ki,
muskilon se bachane ke liye, pita himmat ki deewar hota hai.

har daat pe pyaar jo rahta hai, woh yaad bahut ab aata hai,
har beeta lammha ab to bas, aankhon mein aanshu laata hai.

tashveer basi hai dil mein jo, jeene ka hausla deti hai,
isse tarah se bas ab to, yeh waqt gujarta jata hai.

aapki kami khalti hai mujh mein, yeh khaalipan tardpata hai,
bas yun hi yaadein dil mein sametey, yeh waqt gujarta jata hai.

Miss You Baba !!

waqt beet gaya lekin reh gayi hai waqt ki parchaai

zindagi ke andheron mein woh jalti mashaal the,
musibaton se bachhane ko woh pariwaar ki dhaal the.

kaha jee paaye the woh apni zindagi apne hisaab se,
pita hamare koi aam saksh nahi, tyaag ki ek misaal the.

waqt beet gaya lekin reh gayi hai waqt ki parchaai,
aapke jaane ke baad kuch bachhi hai to bas tanhaai.

nikal padte hain aankhon se aanshu aur dil baith jaata hai,
jab bhi yaad aati hain baatein jo aapne thi bataayi.

ek pita ki ahmiyat kya hai,

iska jawab waqt mere samane laya hai,
kin haalaton se gujaare honge humein paalane ke liye aap,
yeh aaj mujhe samajh aaya hai.

kabhi dar lagta tha aapke daat se,
aaj aapki khaamoshi mujhe satati hai,
mujhe maalum hai ki ab aap nahi aane waale,
phir bhi aapki yaad mujhe aksar rulaati hai.

jab bhi kami khilti hai aapki,
aapki yaadon se mulakaatein kar leta hoon,
ab aapse milna mumkin kaha isleye,
ab aapki tasweer se baatein kar leta hoon.

sudhaar loon main gushtakhiyan zindagi ki,
ab galti karne par mujhe kaha koi daat-ta hai,
akele hi jujhta hoon ab main zindagi se,
aapki tarah mere dard kaha koi baat-ta hai.

the man that we called dad..

he never looked for praises,
he was never one to boast.
he just went on quietly working
for the one he loved the most.

his dream were seldom spoken,
his wants were very few
and most of the times
his worries went unspoken too

he was there.. a firm foundation,
through all our storms of life,
a sturdy hand to hold onto,
in times of stress and strife.

a true friend we could turn to,
when times were good or bad,
one of our greatest blessings,
the man that we called dad.

aise the mere pitah

bargad ki gehri chaav jaise,

zindagi ki dhup mein ghanne shaaye jaise,
the mere pitah.

ghar par ishwar ka roop jaise,
chubhati dhoop mein sahlaate,
mere pitah

bacchon sang bacche ban khelte,
unko uphaar dilla kar khushi dete,
bacchon ko yun hi muskuraao ki dua dete,
aise the mere pitah.

sankat mein pathwaar ban khade hote,
aashray sthal jaise the mere pitah.

bund bund sab ko sameet-te,
andhere mein de kar hausla,
kehte mere pitah,
tumko kiska dar hai?

ghumon ki bheed mein hasna sikhate,
mere pitah.
aur apne dum par tufaanon se lardna,

kisi ke aage tum nahi jhukna,
yeh sikhalaate mere pitah.

pariwaar ki himmat aur vishwas the,
umeed aur aas ki pehchaan the mere pitah.

baba.. aapko tahhe dil se sukariya

apne pitah ke kandhe mein baitha main,
jab unke kandhe par khada ho gaya,
maine kaha apne pitah se...
dekho baba, main tumse bada ho gaya.

baba ne tab kaha...
beta iss khubsurat galatfehmi mein bhale hi jakkade rahna,
lekin mera haath hamesa pakade rahna,

jis din yeh haath choot jaayega,
beta tera yeh hassin sapna tutt jaayega.

duniya vaastav mein itni haseen nahi hai,
dekh tere paau talle abhi zamin nahi hai,

main to baap hoon beta, bahut khush ho jaaunga,
jis din vaastav mein tu mujhse bada ho jaayega.

magar bete kahdhe par nahi,
jab tu zamin mein khada ho jaayega,
yeh baap tujhe apna sab kuch de jaayega,
aur tere kandhe par duniya se chala jaaunga.

pitah na ho to roti hain ziddhein,
khawaaishon ka dher hota hai,
pitah hai to hamesa bacchon ka dil sher hota hai.

iss matlab bhari duniya mein,
woh be-matlab ki kavitaon ka saar hai,
jinko apne sapnon ko chordkar,
bachhon ke sapnon se pyaar hai,

woh mere pitah mera pehla pyaar hai,
woh iss chhoti si duniya mein mere anant sansaar hai.

kandhon par jhullaaya, kandhon par ghumaaya,
uss pitah ki badolat hi, mera jeewan khubsurat ban paya hai.

kya kahun uss pitah ke baare mein,
jisne sochha nahi kabhi khud ke baare mein,
baba aapne mujhe zindagi bhar diya hai,
aapka tahhe dil se behad sukariya hai.

ek puraani album

 yaadon ki khidkiyon par baitha, beete kal ko jhakk raha tha,
aaj puraani almaari mein, zindagi talaash raha tha.

bhoole bishre geeton ko aaj nayi sargam milli,
dhool se sanni, kone mein padi, ek puraani album mili.

kaale safed liwaz mein lipti, guzare daur ki kahani thi,
shabd nahi the jisme koi, tasweeron ki jubaani thi.

meri muskurahat par the sab nishaar,
main khusiyon ka humsaya tha,
iss tasweer mein woh pal kaid hain,
jab main duniya mein aaya tha.

aankhon mein yaadein bhar aayi, dil tardpar rooya hai,
ek tasweer mein kisi ne budhi daadi ko sanjoya hai.

kahi holi ke rang kaid hain, kahi diwali ki raat hai,
kahi janamdin mana raha hoon main, jaise kal hi hi baat hai.

woh school ka pehla din ho, ya collage mein ki shaitaani,
tasweeron mein simat kar rah gaya, bachpan aur jawaani.

apni har baat kehne se pehle izzajat liya kerta tha,
yeh tasweer tab ki hai,  jab main office jaaya kerta tha.

ghumon se uljhe zindagi ki khuli tab takkdeer thi,
tumhein dekh kar pasand kiya tha, yehi to woh tasweer thi.

aage kuch tasweeron mein kaid, har ek pal hain sunahare,
tum paas mere baithi the, haathon mein the haath hamare.

kuch tasweeron mein aawaz kaid hai, dhol nagade, sehnaai ki,
woh pehla ghar humene liya, woh scooty pehli kamayi ki.

kuch tasweeron mein aanshu hain, jab behno ki bedaai ki,
chote bhaai ke sahare humare ghar mein bhi ek bahu aayi thi.

humsab ko chordkar baba, kyu ek din safed liwaz mein lipat gaye,
haar lagi sunahari frame mein, kyu tum jaa kar simat gaye.

tumhare bhaaiyon ne baba gaao ke ghar ko baat diya,
mere kamjoor haat na pahuch sake, photo itne upaar tang diya.

sabhi pariwaar waalon ne diya mujhe itna pyaar hai,
ab aankho mein dikhata mere tasweer ho jaane ka itnezaar hai,

raakh bankar rah jaauga, baha denge mujhe sangam mein,
tasweer bana dhool khaaunga, kisi purani album mein.

jisse hum papa kehte hain

har ghar mein hota hai woh insaan,
jisse hum papa kehte hain.

sabhi ki khushiyon ka dhyaan rakhte,
har kisi ki ichha puri kerte,
khud gareeb aur bachhon ko ameer banate,
jisse hum papa kehte hain.

badon ki sewa, bhai-behan se lagaao,
patni ko pyaar, bachhon ko dulaar,
kholte sabhi khawaishon ka dwaar,
jisse hum papa kehte hain.

beti ki shaadi, beton ko makaan,
bahuoon ki khushiyaan, damadon ka maan,
kuch aise hi safar mein gujaare woh har shaam,
jisse hum papa kehte hain.

I feel so lonely in the crowd

like the depth of the sea, 

deep in my heart there is a unreveal pain.
it is unexpressed and tears cannot be fallen for it.

in my past and my presend life,

everything is just fine,
but deep down in my heart 

there is a pain which is killing from inside.

then I thought I won't take things seriously in life,
but deep down in my heart 

here is a pain, which is hurting me.

but deep down in life, 

I feel so lonely in the crowd,
an for which a silent tear came out from eyes 

and I found no one beside me.

saaye ki tarah aap mere sath rahe

saaye ki tarah aap mere sath rahe,
mere hansne par hanse, mere roone par rooye the,
jab bhi darre huye honton se aawaz di maine,
aakar har uljhan par pehle se hi khade the aap.

ek saundhi khusbu thi aapki chuuan mein,
kitna bhi udaas rahta tha, 

aapki chuuan se dil jhum jhoom jata tha,
lav khil-khila uthtey the.

mere jeevan mein aap kya the.. kya hain,
yeh  lafzon mein bayan karna mumkin nahi,
aapko aag ke hawale kar aaj khud ko jala baitha,
lekin ab bhi jo saskh mujh mein jee raha hai,
woh koi aur nahi.. aap hi ho.

jab maine aapko kandha diya,
achanak ek dard uttha mere sinne mein,
ehsaas hua kya hota hai zimmedaari,

kappkapate huye haathon se jab main agni de raha tha,
kaise bataun ki meri geeli-dhundali aankhon ne,

kya-kya manzar dekha tha,

par haathon mein ek ajeeb si takkat mili thi uss chann,
laga.. muskuraate huye mere udaasi ke palon mein

mujhe aap sehla rahe ho,

ess ehsas ne phir meri aankhon mein

aanshuon ke sailaab laa diya,
main chikh-chikh kar roo raha tha

aapki chittah ke pas baith kar,

par hey pitah.. aapne phir chaturaai dikhaayi,
chitta ki aag ko thanda kar diya,
bas waha rakh hi raakh bachha tha.

maalum hai, madhya-raatri se pehle

aap mujhe ghar bhejna chahate the,

koi baat nahi, aap jaaha jaana chahate hain, jaaye.. lekin,
main aapko aawaz dunga har dishaon mein,
aapko aana hoga.. kam se kam mere khaawabon mein,

mere sapnon mein aakar 

aap mujhe ek baar beta keh kar pukaar lena,
mujhe gale se laga lena,

aapke bin kaise chalunga phirse ungli pakad kar,
thoda raasthe mein badha dena hey pitaji,

aap harpal mujhe itna ehsaas dilla dena,

main aapka beta hoon ~raj~ naam hai mera,
aakar mujhe mera naam, bata dena.

aise hain mere paa..

nariyal ko dekha hai na gaur se?
upar se sakkt, ander se kitna narm-mulayam,
ekdum malaayi sa, bilkul aise hain... mere paa.

maa ki tarah loori nahi sunaate,
meri aanshuon ko aachal nahi thamaate to kya?
anguli pakkad kar zindagi ke kathor dharatal par,
pehla kadam rakh chalna sikhate.. mere paa.

thokar khaa kar girne par

dard ko sehna sikhaate.. mere paa.

maa ki tarah parilok ki sair nahi karate,
duniya ki uchh-nichh bhi nahi samjhate to kya?
mere imhetaan mein mere sath raat bhar jaagte,
mere liye chaai banate.. mere paa.

mere behtar kal ke liye,
apna sunehara aaj kharch karte.. mere paa.

maa ki tarah gale nahi lagate,
meri yaad mein aanshu nahi bahate to kya?
chup-chaap mujhe niharate,
khaamosh nigaahon se sab kuch keh jaate.. mere paa.

mere jaane ke baad udaas akele 

mujhe mere kamare mein dhundate.. mere paa.

I would like to go back to the times we had before

what would I do if you leave
I would miss you, I believe.

that’s what I did do if you leave
emotions are kept under my sleeve.

so my prayers to you I did give
please stay a bit longer, I belive.

for I may see you again never
and you leaving isn’t for the better.

surely I did miss you sooner or later
everyday I miss you more and more.

it makes my heart feel so sore
thinking of the way things were,

I would like to go back
to the times we had before.

o maai - o maai...

ambar ki uchaai, dharti ki yeh gehraari,
tere hridaay mein samayi.. o maai - o maai.
tere mann amrit ka pyaala, yehi kaaba yehi shivaala,
teri mamta paawan-daayi, o maai - o maai.

hamesa tere sath hi rahoon, main bankar tera humjoli,
tere pas naa jaaun.. chip jaaun, yuh kehlun main aankh micholi,
pariyon ki kahani suna de, koi mithi loori gaa de,
kar de sapna sukhdaayi, o maai - o maai.

sansaar ke taane baane se ghabrata hai mann mera,
inn jhuthe rishton-naaton mein, bas pyaar hai tera hi saccha,
sab sukh-dukh mein dhal jaaye, teri baahein jo mil jaaye,
mil jaaye mujhe khudaayi, o maai - o maai.

phir koi shararat ho mujhse, naaraz karun phir tujhko,
phir gale pe thappi maar ke, shinne se laga le mujhko,
bachpan ki pyaas bujha de, apne haath se phir khila de,
pallu mein band mithai, o maai - o maai.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY...!!

you never know, your end may be near

it was early in the morning at four,
when death knocked upon a bedroom door.
“who is there?” the sleeping one cried,
“I’ am izrael, let me inside.”

at once, the man began to shiver,
as one sweating in deadly fever, he
shouted to his sleeping wife,
“don’t let him take away my life.”

“please go away, o angel of death!
leave me alone, I am not ready yet.
my family on me depend, give me a chance,
o please prepense!”

the angel knocked again and again,
“friend! I’ll take your life without a pain,
‘it is your soul god require,
I come not with my own desire.

bewildered, the man began to cry,
“o angel! I am so afraid to die
I’ll give you gold and be your slave,
don’t send me to the unlit grave.”

“let me in, o friend!” the angel said,
“open the door, get up from your bed.
if you do not allow me in,
I will walk through it, like a jinn.”

the man held a gun in his right hand,
ready to defy the angel’s stand,
“I’ll point my gun, towards your head.

you dare come in, I’ll shoot you dead.”
by now, the angel was in the room,
saying, “o friend! prepare for your doom.
foolish man, angels never die,
put down your gun and do not sigh.”

“why are you afraid! tell me o man,
to die according to god’s plan?
come, smile at me, do not be grim,
be happy to return to him.”

“o angel! I bow my head in shame,
I had no time to take god’s name.
from morn till dusk I made my wealth,
not even caring for my health.”

“god's commands I never obeyed
nor any time a day, I ever prayed.
a ramadan came and ramadan went but
no time had I to repent.”

“the tirath was already fard on me
but I would not part with my money.
all charities I did ignore taking usury more and more.”

“sometimes I sipped my favorite wine
with flirting women I sat to dine.
o angel! I appeal to you spare my life for a year or two.”

“the laws of geeta I will obey,
I’ll begin salat this very day.
my fast and tirath, I will complete,
and keep away from self conceit.”

“I will refrain from usury,
and give all my wealth to charity, wine
and wenches I will detest,
god’s oneness I will attest.”

“we angels do what god demands,
we cannot go against his commands.
death is ordained for everyone,
father, mother, daughter or son.”

“I’ am afraid, this moment is your last,
now be reminded, of your past.
I do understand your fears
but it is now too late for tears.”

“you lived in this world, two score and more,
never did you, your people adore.
your parents, you did not obey,
hungry beggars, you turned away.”

“your two ill-gotten, female offsprings,
in night-clubs, for livelihood they sing.
breaking promises all your life,
backbiting friends, and causing strife.”

“from hoarded goods, great profits
you made, and your poor workers,
you underpaid.
horses and cards were your leisure,
money-making was your pleasure.”

“you ate vitamins and grew more fat,
with the very sick, you never sat.
a pint of blood you never gave,
which could a little baby save.”

“o human, you have done enough wrong,
you bought good properties for a song.
when the farmers appealed to you,
you did not have mercy, ’tis true.”

“paradise for you? I cannot tell,
undoubtedly you will dwell in hell.
there’s no time for you to repent,
I’ll take your soul for which I am sent.”

the ending, however, is very sad.
eventually the man became mad.
with a cry, he jumped out of bed.
and suddenly, he fell down dead.

-------
you never know, your end may be near
change your living and make amends,
for heaven, on your deeds depends.

bebas hoker apne maa baap ko bimaar hota dekh raha hoon

chupke chupke mann hi mann mein,
khudko rotta dekh raha hoon,
bebas hoker apne maa-baap ko,

bimaaar hota dekh raha hoon.

rachha hai bachpan ki aankhon mein,

khilla-khilla sa maa baap ka rupp,

jaise jaade ke mausam mein ho,

naram-garam makhmal si dhoop.

dhire dhire sapnon ke iss rupp ko,

aankhon se ojhal hota dekh raha hoon,

iss covid ki maha-maari mein,

bebas ho kar unko bimaar hota dekh raha hoon.

kal tak tha jo sab sawra sa, ek chota sa apna bhi duniya,

chutt raha ho dhire dhire, maa baap ke saath ka saaya bhi,

chinn raha ho waqt jaise unke baaton bhara khazana bhi.

ghar ke malik ko aaj hospital ICU par 

bimaar tardpata dekh raha hoon,

bebas ho kar apne maa-baap ko bimaar hota dekh raha hoon.

chupke chupke mann hi mann mein,

khudko roota dekh raha hoon,

bebas ho kar apne maa-baap ko bimaar hota dekh raha hoon.

guzre huye kal ki kitaab

apne guzre huye kal ki kitaab dekh raha hoon,
zindagi ke zulmon ke hisaab dekh raha hoon.

mujh ko jalaane tum bhi aaoge mere yaar..
sach kehte ho, ya main khwaab dekh raha hoon?

tere gham to seh liye, ab gairon ki baari hai,
aanshu pee chuka, sharaab dekh raha hoon.

aap kehte ho ke meri aankhein namm nahi,
main apne aayino mein sailaab dekh raha hoon.

nahi mujhko koi umeed unke aane ki,
bas youn hi raahon ko janaab dekh raha hoon.

lying in the hospital

I am lying in the hospital
I am sick obviously
I see these people day and day
the just won't go away.

the pain I feel is always there
I can't stand it anymore
I ask someone to pull the plug
but they wont so I start to tug.

I am weaker by the hours
sicker by the minutes
deader by the seconds
yet they cannot reckon.

I can't take it anymore
these drugs are making me worse
I want to let go
so I start pulling nice and slow.

until the day finally comes
the world finally calms
my soul ready to fly
I was always dead.

what a surprise..!

waqt ke sath dayarein badaltein logg

waqt ke sath dayarein badaltein logg,
jab jee chaaha anjaan ho jaatein yeh logg.

jab marrzi padein dil-daar ho jaatein logg,
waqt be waqt sanngdil ho jaatein yeh logg.

apni marzii ke maalik hain yahan sabhi logg,
patharr ko bhi tord kar khush ho jaatein yeh logg.

kisi ki kamazori ko garz samajh kar muskuraatein logg,
nafraton ke shehar banatein aur 

uss mein basar kartein yeh sabhi logg.

shades of life

a lull before the storm,
the aftermath of cries..

fear of loosing your beloved..
the pain of good byes..

the innocent hungry eyes,
starving and searching for food..

the love of our parents,
that we never understood..

the loss of a mate,
on the day their’ souls met..

the million blunders,
that one could never regret..

the touch of a dying person,
suddenly gripping your hand..

the frozen eyes of those,
unjustly punished and hanged..

ssssshhhh! ! ! !
can you hear this? ?

this sound that blesses..this sound that ruins,
be it a disaster or moment of ecstasy,

its all silence.. silence…that speak volumes! !

silence of great love,
silence of painful deceit,

silence of embittered friendship,
silence of indelible defeat..

silence between father and son,
when father fails to explain his stand..

silence between husband and wife,
when he fails to give her a hand…

silence of a happy mother,
looking at her sleeping child..

silence of a big hug,
when two sisters fought and cried..

silence of a priest,
offering to god his prayer..

silence of mourners,
sharing their sorrow and despair..

silence of an old man,
being told his only son died..

silence of those who have failed,
leading to another suicide..

oh! ! what is it.. peace or horror,
what is it.. that I'm feeling..

this ultimate language.. this divine beauty,
is it hurting me or am I healing..?

ssshhhhh! !
listen to it.. the sound of silence..
and set all your fears free..

speak to yourself.. laugh aloud..
because life’s yours if you allow it to be..

bas yun hi haste haste chala jaaunga

bas yun hi haste haste chala jaaunga,
doston ab shayad main laut kar nahi aaunga.

par yeh bhi to ek sach baat hai, jo bithe aap sab ke saath,
woh mitthe pal main kabhi nahi bhool paaunga,

par aaj main bhi yahan se khali haath nahi jaaunga,
main jaroor apni yaadon ki mehek yahi chhord jaaunga.

jaanta hoon kahi dil tutte hain meri nadaaniyon se,
par aaj jaate jaate main aap sab se maafi maangna chahunga,

aap ko jo bhi ho mujhse sikhwe gile.. ser aankhon par,
main aaj aap sabhhi ko dua dete jaaunga.

aaj hoon kuch doston ke dilo mein,
par ek din unki yaadon se bhi mit jaaunga.

aaj hoon thoda mashoor aap doston ki badolat,
par waqt ke chalte hi issi bheed mein kahin kho jaaunga.

bas yun hi haste haste chala jaaunga,
doston ab shayad main laut kar nahi aaunga.

here lays my heart

here lays my heart
all broken and torn,
there are no feelings left in it
for me to mourn.

here lays my mind
which has repressed,
all the memories we have shared
that have left me a mess.

here lays my soul
which you took away,
along with my faith and trust in you
that you broke in a day.

here lays my body
all mangled and left to die,
I hope that I can get through this,
and find another guy.

jaane kis roz hum yeh baat samajh paayenge

jhoote sapne aankhon mein kab tak hum sajaayenge,
tut jaane par unke.. phir aanshu hum bahaayenge,

hain hum insaan, insaan hona khud mein ek sazaa,
jaane kis roz hum yeh baat samajh paayenge.

jeena humko hai khokle rivaazon ko nibhaate huye,
dharm-o-mazhab ke issi bandhan mein jeeye jaayenge,

hote jo pancchi, naa baandh paati sarhadein bhi humein,
hain jo insaan, bebas bin pankhon ke kahaan jaayenge?

reh jaayegi yeh zindaagi bhi ek samjhauta bankar,
jaan kar bhi hum kuch naa kar paayenge.

aaj bhi humein talaash hai

nikle the kuch door hum, 

azad panchi ki tarah,
mil jaaye kahin humein woh jagah,

khula aakash, apni zameen,
pankh failaye, hum the leen,

jag apna, khushiyaan apni,
laga jaise, kahin woh toh nahin,

aaj urdne ka mann tha,

kehna kuch bhi kam tha,
par pal har pal ek aas hai, 

aaj bhi humein talaash hai.

kabhi na bhool paau, woh kahani hai pitah

kabhi abhimaan to kabhi swabhimaan hai pitah,
kabhi dharti to kabhi aasmaan hai pitah,
janam diya hai agar maa ne,
jaanega jisse jag, woh pehchaan hai pitah.

kabhi kandhe par bitha kar mela dikhata hai pitah,
kabhi banke ghoda, ghumaata hai pitah,
maa agar pairon pe chalna sikhati hai,
to pairon pe khada hona sikhata hai pitah.

kabhi rooti to kabhi paani hai pitah,
kabhi budhaapa to kabhi jawani hai pitha,
agar maa hai maasum si loori,
to kabhi na bhool paau, woh kahani hai pitah.

kabhi hansi to kabhi anusaasan hai pitah,
kabhi maun to kabhi bhaasan hai pitah,
maa agar ghar mein rasooyi hai,
to chalta hai jisse ghar woh raashan hai pitah.

kabhi khawaab ko pura karne ki zimmedaari hai pitah,
kabhi aanshuon ke chippi lachaari hai pita,
maa agar bech sakti hai jarurat pe gehne,
to jo apne ko bech de woh baypaari hai pitah,

kabhi hansi aur khushi ka mela hai pitah,
kabhi kitna tannha aur akela hai pitah,
maa to keh deti hai apne dil ki baat,
sab kuch samet ke aasman sa failaa hai pitah.

na jaane kitna tannha ho gaya hoon

pattharon ki basti mein jo kho gaya hoon,
isliye bejubaan sa ho gaya hoon.

dum nikalta hai sans lene se,
zindagi se pareshan ho gaya hoon.

ab to zakhmon ka bhi ehsas nahi,
na jaane kitna tannha ho gaya hoon.

sabra ummeedon se nahi hota,
main khud bhi ek dilasa ho gaya hoon.

nigah khamosh itni ho gayi hai,
unhein lagata hai jaise soo gaya hoon.

yun halaat ke hathon mein aaj,
main toota ek khilouna ho gaya hoon.

who is a father

who is a father
an angle or human?

he is wise, he is very nice
who understands his child from every side,

protective and caring
great and daring,

he is a teacher, he is a guide
he is loving and is always right,

so we should pray for his long life
as he is an indispensable part of our lives.

the trust is now forever lost

you trampled on my feelings
and you played me for a fool,
your promises turned worthless lies
you have broken the golden rule.

you promised me you would never lie
a rule you made from the start,
my love for you was built on trust
that's gone.. you have torn it apart.

I trusted every word you said
and did so without any fears,
but sunshine turned into cloudy days
you have left me nothing but tears.

the trust is now forever lost
because of all your lies,
I hope you are proud of what you have done
without trust love surely dies.

you filled me with empty promises
now, our lives must part,
you dared to play with my feelings
why I love y still though, you broke my heart.

kabhi garmi, kabhi sardi, kabhi baarish hai zindagi mein

kabhi garmi, kabhi sardi, kabhi baarish hai zindgi mein,
gham hi gham hai meri zindagi mein,

bithe lamhon ki yaad dilata hai yeh badlata mausam,
kho chuki khushiyon ki yaad dilata hai yeh mausam,

itna kuch dekha hai zindagi mein
ub jaane nahi chahate hain hum,

kabhi rishton mein garmahat ka ahsas,
kabhi sard pade rishton ka ahsaas,

kabhi anshuon ki barish hoti inn aankoh se,
kabhi mayusi jalkti inn aankoh se,

jisko samja tha apna woh bhi badla sa najar aata hai,
jiske sahare jina chaha, khush rehna chaha, woh hi aaj rulata hai.

jo pyar ek misaal tha zindagi mein,
wahi aaj bikhra najar aaata hai humein,

naaz tha jinki mohabat par humein
aab wahi thukrate hain humein,

pyar bhi badlte mausam ki tarah badal jata hai,
sukh-dukh mein sath nibane ki khai thi jo kasmein,

aaj un par bhi aitbaar uthta jaata hai,
kabhi garmi, kabhi sardi, kabhi baarish hai zindagi mein.

maine poocha kaise ho

maine poocha kaise ho,
badle ho ya waise ho?

roop wohi andaaz wohi,
ya phir iss mein koi kami,

hijr ka kuch ehsaas to hoga,
koi tumhare pass to hoga,

main bichrra yaha majboor tha,
kab manzoor mujhe tujhse doori tha

saath humara kab chhoota hai,
rooh ka rishta kab toota hai,

aankh se jo aanshu behte hain,
tum ko khabar hai kya kehte hain?

maine kaha aawaz tumhari,
aaj bhi hai humraaz hamari,

phool wafa ke khil jaayenge,
ek din phir hum mil jaayenge.

udasi ka mausam kabhi humara na tha

dil to tere saath tha, tujhe hi yeh gawara na tha,
humne manga uss jahan ko, jo kabhi humara na tha.

tum kehte ho pyaar kamjor tha humara,
kya pyar dene ka kuch farz tumhara na tha?

jeene ki aas chordna bhi kaise chahein,
saans lene ka faisla akele humara na tha.

shiddhat se intezaar kiya har saans ne tera,
yeh baat aur hai, kabhi tumhe pukaara na tha.

iss kadar bikhre hain arsh par sapne meri jaan,
ek tere siva duniya mein koi humara na tha.

aa jana raahon mein kisi gaier ke sath bhi,
sochenge iss dil par kabhi hak humara na tha.

bahaaron ne kar diya bedakhal apni duniya se,
varna udasi ka mausam kabhi humara na tha.

ab toh tutt ke girne ko betaab hain,
akele sab sehne ka dum humara na tha.

koi apna nahi banta

koi apna nahi banta,
labon pe naam rakhne se,
dilon mein yaad karne se,
har ek dhardkan, har ek tardpan,
kisi ke naam karne se,
koi apna nahi banta.

tamam umar ki khushiyan,
mohabbat ki sabhi gheraiyan,
kisi ko daan karne se,
ke uspe maan karne se,
koi apna nahi banta.

woh pehle pyaar ki baatein,
saath nishta ki sabhi raatein,
woh chaahat ki sabhi rashmein,
mohabbat ki sabhi kashmein,
humesha yaad rakhne se,
koi apna nahi banta.

kisi tannha akeli raah guzar par,
purane se kisi perd k tanna par,
patthar se koi dil banane se,
uss mein apna aur kisi ka naam sajane se,
koi apna nahi banta.

ki jab aankhein hi marr jayein,
to phir sapna nahin banta,
yeh jeewan daan kar jayein,
to bhi apna nahi banta,
koi apna nahin banta.

maun ka rishta

mere ander jaise kisi bhaw ne karwat badli,
aur ek rishte ka janam hua.. maun ka rishta.

dhero baate le kar aaya hai yah maun,
din raat.. charo pahar..
bas yah mujse batiyata rahta hai,

aye dost.. keh kar mere aaspaas,
yeh ghumta phirta hai..

meri ungli pakad kar yeh rishta aage badha,
aur ek bindu… sa jo nazar aata tha,

paas aate-aate saaf nazar aane laga,
aur ban gaya mera sathi,

jab maine usse mera veham kahta hoon,
mera yeh rishta, 
khil-khila kar hans deta hai.

usse apne gale lagate yehi kahti hoon..

raah jab kathhin ho,
manzil bhi door lagae..
aur andhera bhi gehra ho..

har woh raah par jaha-jaha tum chalo,
har pal har kadam par sath.. tumhare,
mujhe bhi paaoge tum…

thanks you my God!

my god I heard you, once again thanks you
thanks you! thanks you! thanks you.

it was a dream, but sounded real
I saw you dialing fast, in vain.

contacts though failed, your zeal was real
then suddenly, when dialed again.

it rang for me, and continued
but, I was looking at you.. your face.

your eyes! and all was quietly viewed
for long.. discovering rays of grace.

it rang! and rang and rang again
thanks you! I thought, it was some one, not you.

I wanted, not to miss that view
then came, a hint from your sweet eyes.

in moments, disappeared all whys
I lifted! oh, that was your voice.

that view, went-off.. I heard the choice
you, now, wanted me, talk to you.
thanks you! thanks you! thanks you! thanks you.

your face appeared on phone, with voice
I know, thou art always so nice
my senses know you, voice-and-face

your touch and scent.. your charming grace
but, I know-not the taste, as yet

comes in between, a flimsy net
and, then I heard you, once again.

then door-bell rang.. poured-out the gain
my God! I heard you once again thanks you,
thanks you! thanks you! thanks you! thanks you!!

chahaat ko raakh hote dekh li

mohabbat ki sab rangat dekh li,
dil tordne ke sab harkat dekh li,
cheen li dillse dadkan kuch iss tarah,
dard mein jalne ki aag dekh li.

askh chalkengein tumari yaad mein,
jazbaat machlenge.. tardapkar,
toot kar chaahat ke andaaz sanam,
aaj kaise marrenge.. raah dekh li.

pyaar mein kabhi palat kar bulate,
har gham yunhi apne seene mein
sab ki nazron se chuppa late,
aaj lut jaane ki nazaakat dekh li.

dukhaya hai iss kadar mann ko,
sazaa dey bhi saanam magar
jaante hain.. lahu mera hi bahega,
khanzar ki dhaar aaj humne dekh li.

uth gaya hai aitbaar jahaan se sathi,
mit gayin hain sari tamannayein,
kho jaayengi saari hasratein khakh mein,
chahaat ko raakh hote dekh li.

love you baba

fathers are wonderful people
too little understood,
and we do not sing their praises
as often as we should…

for, somehow, father seems to be
the man who pays the bills,
while mother binds up little hurts
and nurses all our ills…

but if you look inside dad’s heart,
where no one else can see,
you will find he is sentimental
and as “soft” as he can be…

but fathers are just wonderful
in a million different ways,
and they merit loving compliments
and accolades of praise,

for the only reason dad aspires
to fortune and success,
is to make the family proud of him
and to bring them happiness…

and like our heavenly father,
he is a guardian and a guide,
someone that we can count on
to be always on our side.

love you baba...!

zakhamon ko naa kuredo.. hare ho jayenge

zakhamon ko naa kuredo.. hare ho jayenge,
mil jaayenge ghum aur woh bahut yaad aayenge,

kitne gehre hain zakham iss dil ke,
miloge jo humse to hum batayenge,

darr hai kahi yeh zakham nasoor na banjayein,
karde unhein jo be-asar woh marham kahan se layenge,

humdard nahi milta zamane mein koi,
saahil par hamein mile agar koi.. 

dard-e-dastaan sunayenge.

teri basti mein dil lagana mushkil tha

teri basti mein dil lagana mushkil tha,
tujhe apni duniya mein lana mushkil tha,
tujh bin mar jana aassan hi lagta mujhe,
tujh bin tannha rehna mushkil tha.

tujh bin wapas aate bhi kaise yaadon ko liye,
yaadon ke kanto ko sath le ke chalna mushkil tha,
ashkon ke kuye se nikal to jaate,
honton pe hansi ki aag lagana mushkil tha.

har afsana teri adaaon pe hi likhte apne lahu se,
khanzaron se dastan likh paana mushkil tha,

hum phir bhi jeete hai sanse kabra mein dafna,
par apna “saccha pyar” dafan kar jaana mushkil tha.

bacche hi karne lage, maata-pita se ghaat

rishto ko yoon tordte, jaise kaccha sut,
batwara maa-baap ka, karne lage kapot.
kaise beto par kare, maat-pita abhimaan,
apne ghar mein hi bane, anchahe mehmaan.

maata-pita mein bas rahe, sakshaat bhagwaan,
mandir-maszid dhoondta, manav hai naadan.
mustandu ko poojte aur navaate shish,
paani maange baap to, nakhre karte bis.

hin-bhin sapne huye, taar-taar vishwas,
maat-pita ko de diya, beto ne vanvaas.
mandir mein pooja kare, ghar mein kare kalesh,
bapu tu bujha lage, patthar lage ganesh.

prem aastha tayaag huye, bite yog ki baat,
bacche hi karne lage, maata-pita se ghaat.
paani aankhon ka marra, marri sharm-o-laaz,
kahe bahu ab saans se, ghar mein mera raaj.

nayi shadi se mil rahi, dard bhari sugaat,
beta kehta baap se, kya teri aaukat.
kamaya akele baap ne, bete pale chaar,
ek akeli jaan ab, chaaro par hai bhaar.

marne lagi saveda, khatam huye sadbhav,
purab par bhi ho gaya, pacshim ka prabhav.

dard ban, sholon mein pighalta raha hoon main

zindagi teri agnipath pe chalta raha hoon main,
tere nokhile teeron se lardta raha hoon main,

dost-dost nahi to kya, apne-apne nahi to kya?
saaya bhi mera saath nibhaaye nahi to kya?

insaaniyat ka dum hi, bharta raha hoon main,
meri manzil ek diye se dikhaayi deti hai,

raat mein raushan subah dikhaayi deti hai,
har imtehaan mein aag sa, bardhta raha hoon main.

mere dil tak pahunch kar, woh mujhse ruutha,
usko nahin pata ki mujhmein kya-kya hai tuuta,
dard ban, sholon mein pighalta raha hoon main,

dariya nahin, pyasa dil, ek katra chahta hai,
mujh mein bhi hai koi, jo jeena chaahta hai,
yeh kya ki ashkon ka jashn karta raha hoon main.

uske mandir se na karna mehroom mujhe,
dekho har roz ek naya sadma dena tum mujhe,
har aas ladh-khadaayi, par nikharta raha hoon main.

kaun ho tum..

kaun ho tum..? 

kyon mujhse door nahi bhagti ho tum,
mere soone ke baad bhi kyon jaagti ho tum,
aakhir kis haq se pal-pal ka hisaab mangti ho tum?

mere paas uss khuda ki amanat ho tum,
mere seene ki sanso ki chhahat ho tum,
mujh par bewajha jo huyi woh inayat ho tum,
kyon mujhse har pal kayi sawal karti ho tum,
kyon mere liye pal-pal tardpti ho tum?

aakhir kab tak main kaid rahounga teri aagosh mein,
kis din meri ruh ko sakoon milega,
mere jism ko aakhir kab chhordoge tum,
meri sanso se nata kab tordoge tum?

mujhe tumse to aakhir koi gila nahi,
kya hai tere paas jo mujhe mila nahi,
na jaane bahar mein bhi kyon

mera chaman khila nahi,
shayad mere hi naseeb mein aakhir sila nahi,

tujhse bas yehi mujhe shikayat hai,
kyon ab tak mujh pe meharba ho tum,
mere sunne ghar mein aaj bhi mehma ho tum,
mere wajood ka bas aakhri nisha ho tum,

o zindagi aaj mujhe azaad kar de tu,
mere naseeb mein maut ka rang bhar de tu,
meri sansein chhinkar aakhri ehsaan kar de tu,
kyon mujhse waffa kiye jaa rahi ho tum?

jeene ki chhahat ab iss dil mein baki nahi,
iss maikhane mein koi bhi mera saki nahi,
tu ab humein koi nayi rah dikhati nahi,
aakhir kyon humse maut ka rishta nibhati nahi?

o zindagi jaa chhor de mera daman,
teri kaid main ab ghut raha hai mera mann,
tu mujhe azaad kar de...

mere naseeb mein maut ka rang bhar de.

jo mila uski khushi kaisa, jo khoya uska rona kaisa

jo mila uski khushi kaisa, jo khoya uska rona kaisa,
bahar mein ujrde chaman ko, patjhard se bachana kaisa,

tumhari inayaton ka zikar phir kabhi hoga mere dost,
zakham-e-dosti na ho jis mein, woh dil ka afsana kaisa,

manzil par pounch kar bhi karwa ki talash hi rahi,
acha tha hazum ke saath chalna, yun tannha chalna kaisa,

haath se haath kya milana, dil se dil milaao to jaane,
haath mein khanzar dil mein nafrat, yun yaaron se milna kaisa.

taaro ko chand ke paimanaye mein bhar kar kabhi to pilaao,
ashq bhari ankhon ke paimane mein roz-roz pilana kaisa,

khamoshi ki gunj mein cher ke dil ka saz gun-gunaya karo,
lab-e-khamosh se behron ki mehfil mein gun-gunana kaisa,

apne hi dil ke kone mein dhondho us talash ko,
yun tannha parbat-parbat mare-mare phirna kaisa.

mujhe teri aarzu rahi barson

chaand ki justju rahi barson,
mujhe teri aarzu rahi barson,

sadiyan judaai ke beetein to jana,
mere khwabon mein tu hi rahi barson,

main hi unko samajh nahi paya,
yun unse guftgu rahi barson,

woh gulbadan jab kabhi bhi aaye,
ghar mein khushbu rahi barson,

main apne aib kahan chhipata,
unki nazar har taraf rahi barson,

maut ke saye mein bhi dekho,
zindagi ru-b-ru rahi barson.

tera ehsaas mujhse kabhi door naa ho

mere baad mat dhondhna mere kadmon ke nishan,
main to ek saaya hoon kali raat ka,

ek saaya jiska koi wajood nahi,

janmo se main bhatak raha hoon apni talaash mein,
dubba hua hoon na jaane kaise pyaas mein,

zindagi se khaffa maut ki talash mein,
anjaan se safar mein koi sathi nahi hai mera,
ek safed sa saaya jo shayad mera kafan hai,
roz mujhe dhakne ki firaq mein,

aata hai har raat mere soone ke baad,
lekin usse bach ke bhagne ki koshish mein,
roz thora thora sa mar raha hoon,
bass ussi kafan ka intezaar kar raha hoon,

lakin waise nahi jaise woh mujhh dhakna chhahta hai,
main jee to nahi saka apni marzi se,
lekin mera jism apni marzi se marna chhahta hai,

main maut ko jaise bulaun woh waise hi aaye,
marne ke baad mera dil bhi dharkta rahe,
kiyonki iss dil mein to tu bassi hai,

marne ke baad meri aankhain bhi khuli rahe,
kyonki inn mein tere khwaab sajaye hain,

marne ke baad mere hoonth bhi larzte rahe,
kyonki inko aaj bhi teri pyaas hai,

marne ke baad meri sanse bhi chalti rahe,
kyonki yeh sanse tera naam lekar chal rahi hain,

magar jab mujhe aakhri hichki aaye,
to teri goad naa ho tera anchal naa ho,

tere aanshu meri lash ko nehlatay naa ho,
tere hoonth mere bejaan jism ko chumtay naa ho,

mere rashton mein tujh se kiye waade naa ho,
mere phir zinda ho jaane ke iraade naa ho,

tere saath guzre pal mujh par bojh naa ho,
tera pyar mere paon ki zanjeer naa bane,

meri chhita ki rakh se teri tasveer naa bane,
kash yun zindagi kare bewafai to kitna acha ho,

tera surakh dupatta meri lash se lipta ho,
mera wajood chutki bhar rakh main simta ho,

aur woh rakh teri mang ka sindoor naa ho,
tera ehsaas mujhse kabhi door naa ho,

tera ehsaas mujhse kabhi door naa ho...........!!

teri yaad bhi kya-kya dusprabhav kiya karti hai

teri yaad bhi kya-kya dusprabhav kiya karti hai,
bhar chuke zakhamon ko phir harra karti hai.

mujhe har saaya tera hi akas lagta hai,
dil ki jalan bhi yeh kaisa dhuuan karti hai.

jab kabhi dekhta hoon baithi gul pe titlii,
lagta hai jaise tu mujh ko chhua karti hai.

mausam-e-bahar hum ussi ko kehte hain,
chaman mein jab teri aahat hua karti hai.

fursat mile to kabhi dekhna aake mere ghar,
maut ke saaye mein kaise zindagi jiya karti hai.

ajab hai aankh-michouli mujh mein aur mritu mein,
dhundha hai usse jitna, woh utna chhipa karti hai.

kisi surat dil-e-nadan ko samjhaya nahi jata

kisi surat dil-e-nadan ko samjhaya nahi jata,
ki jaane waalon se kabhi dil lagaya nahi jata,

adda hai zid pe apni bada nadaan bachha hai,
ki toote khilono se jee ko behlaya nahi jata.

yeh jana hai teri duniya mein aake hum fakreeon ne,
ki yahan har kisi ke aage haath failaya nahi jata.

kisi ki pyaas bhujti hai, kisi ki aas bhujti hai,
ki barish ka koi katra kabhi zaaya nahi jata.

jiske waste jeeta hai, ussi pe jal jata hai deewana,
parwane ko hunar jalne ka sikhlaya nahi jata.

kabhi tha aashian mera tere kadmon men janejaana,
ab barson beet jaate hain idhar aaya nahi jata.

aksar gila rehta hai hum maikhaaron se saki ko,
woh bhar deta hai paimana aur humse utthaya nahi jata.

andaaz jeene ka kabhi seekho darkhat se tum,
ho chaahe dhup jinti, isspe kabhi apna saya nahi jata.

raat dhalne laggi.. shamma bhujne laggi

raat dhalne laggi.. shamma bhujne laggi,
aaja mere sanam, saans thamne laggi,

aaja mere sanam, saans thamne laggi.

raat ka yeh sama.. hum akele yaha,
dhundhe aankhein tumhein, chhip gaye tum kaha?
dhadkane khamosh hain, hum bhi madhosh hain,

tera jalta badan meri aagosh hai,
har taraf pyaar ki aag jalne laggi,

aaja mere sanam, saans thamne laggi.

sard si chandni.. bikhri hai har kahin,
aa basa le sanam, aashiyan hum yahin,

raat saari sanam, aankhon mein jaayegi,
taare ginte sanam, subah ho jayegii,

subha ki pehli kiran dekh khilne laggi,

aaja mere sanam, saans thamne laggi.

raat dhalne laggi.. shamma bhujne laggi,

aaja mere sanam, saans thamne laggi.

dard ke samundar ko sene mein dabaye baitha hoon

dard ke samundar ko 

sene mein dabaye baitha hoon,
apne aankhon ke aanshuon ko 

muskaan mein chupaye baitha hoon.

yeh kaun kahta hai 

hansta hua chehra hai mera,
yeh to woh dard hai 

jisse apne chahre se chupaye baitha hoon.

ek bewafa ko bhoola naa jaaye to kya kare

kaam aa saki naa apni wafaye to kya kare,
ek bewafa ko bhoola naa jaaye to kya kare?

abb dil mein hai ki unko bhula kar hi dekh le,
woh baar-baar yaad jo aaye to kya kare,

na gila tumse hai na khudaya tujhse ranjjish

diye hain apno ne humein ghum itne,
ki har ajnabi se lipat kar roote rahe hain hum.

khuli aankhon in ashqon pe na jaana doston,
ek umr ek sadi se bas soote rahe hain hum.

hai rahi mehfil-e-dil mein kahi jeene ki kwaaish,
kwaashishon ko kabhi seh-seh kar bhi jeete rahe hain hum.

na gila tumse hai na khudaya tujhse ranjjish,
bas aapne hi gile shikwoh ko kuch seete rahe hain hum.

paani se aangan yunhi bhigote rahe hain hum,
ke har ajnaabi se lipat kar roote rahe hain hum.

jalte huye dil ki kahani na pucho

jalte huye dil ki kahani na pucho,
kya kya sitam huye hum par na pucho,

chaha hai usko dil-o-jaan se magar,
chaahat ka anjaam kya mila yeh na pucho.

tut gaya dil aanshu bhi na bahe,
dil ki khamoshi ka aalam na pucho.

saaya bhi chhord kar chala gaya humein,
aur kya reh gaya mere liye yeh na pucho.

jaante the hum ki woh nahi aayenge,
phir bhi kyun intezaar kiya humne yeh na pucho.

khwaaish thi unko paane ki is janam mein,
par kitne janam intezaar karenge yeh na pucho.

mehndi kum pard gayi haathon mein unke,
khoon-e-jigar kyun diya humne yeh na pucho.

bewafai kar gaye woh jo wafa ka dawa kiya karte the

veeran si ho gayi rahe wafa meri,
kuch log yahan se bhi guzra karte the,

ab kabhi nazar hi nahi aate hain woh sitare,
jo kabhi chaand ke irrd-gird ghooma karte the,

dhardkan ki tarah iss dil mein the,
woh jo khoon ki gardish mein raha karte the,

saaya mera ban ke woh, 

tanhai main mere saath chala karte the,

aaj kya batayein daastan apni
bewafai kar gaye woh,

jo wafa ka dawa kiya karte the.

bethi yaadon

aaj main tannha baihti yaadon ko nakhuon se
maazi ki raakh kured raha hoon,

us aakhri shaam ki yaad ab tak
dil ke kisi kone mein pada ro raha hai,

jab mere sath saans lete hue aanshu
chilla chilla kar keh rahe the,

hamein chhord kar mat jaao
magar mere lab khamosh the aur tum,
mere aanshu ki aawaz sun nahi paaye the,

shaam dhire dhire dhalti jaa rahi thi,
parinde apne baseron ko laut rahe the,
aur tum mere dil ka basera chhord kar jaa rahe the

kahin door, shayad bahut door,
darakht khamosh khade the aur main
darakht ke kandhe par sar rakh kar ro raha tha,

tumne aakhri baar meri aur murd kar dekha aur
tumhari nigahon mein na jaane kya tha keha,

meri palkon pe thehra aakhri aanshu
ek nokeeli salakh ki maanind
dil mein utar gaya tha,

aah…. woh shaam kitni andheri thi,
amavas ki raat se bhi jada andheri,

magar na jaane kyon
itna waqt beet jaane ke baad,

aaj maine shaam ki gulaabi hatheli pe likha..
“meri bichhdi koi shaam ek baar laut kar aao,
main tumhare intezaar mein hoon".

then she ran away

she says life is rough
everything so tough,

she couldn’t more
her heart was really sore,

her eyes were filled with tears
and nobody to be near,

not even a good friend
for her loneliness to end,

but what she wanted to do
is to start life good & new,

with no words left to say
and then she ran away.

dil pe zakham aisa diya usne

dil pe zakham aisa diya usne,
ki dard bhi aaj mera deewana ho gaya hai,

aag jalti hai dusro ko sakun pahouchane ke liye,
main jalta hoon apne aapko maarne ke liye.

lo aaj iss baat pe dard bhi aaj mera deewana ho gaya hai,
jiss bhi pyaar kiya woh juda ho gaya hai.

mera bharosa tordna, mere dil se khelna aadat ho gaya hai,
dekho ji ke dard bhi aaj mera deewana ho gaya hai.

shakko se gheeri hai meri zindagi,
kisi pe bharosa karna mere aape se bahaar ho gaya hai,
aaj tu dard bhi “raaj” ka deewana ho gaya hai.

remember when laughing out loud

remember when laughing out loud we used to get mad
and now nothing makes me sad or glad.

remember when your words filled me with rejoice
and now I long to even hear your voice.

remember when you used to say sweet dreams and goodbye
and now every night of mine ends with a cry.

remember when we shared all our joys and tears
and now I have your memories, you are not here.

remember when you used to wait for me late at night
and now you are not even in my sight.

kaho kab sath mere isse gungunaaoge

roo-b-roo dar, chale jaane ke baad aaoge,
koun kehta hai ki, ab umra bhar sataoge?

naazron ki adaoun ka kya bayaan karoon,
har lamhein nain tokate hain, ki kab jaaoge?

khud bulaya tha, kai baar bhej kar khabar,
dar pe haazir hoon, kya patah, ki kab bulaoge?

maanta hoon ki, khata mujhse ho gayi hogi,
dour-e-ulfat hai, kab tak wahi duhraaoge?

saath taahashra rahega, yeh zarooree to nahin!
kab talak saath ho, yeh bhi nahin bataaougey?

ruk bhi jaayega agar chaand to, kitne lamahein,
gar marr  jaau main kahi par,  patah lagaaoge?

tamaam dar khule hain dil ke na jaane kab se,
khade rahoge door yaa kadam bardhaaoge?

badalon ne aaj chhupa liya hai chaand seene mein,
ruke rahoge ki baahoun mein aa samaaoge?

sadaayein laakh zehan mein panaah letin hain,
gazal likha hai ek aur tumhare liye, 

kaho kab sath mere isse gungunaaoge?

come and sit, and hold my hand

come and sit, and hold my hand,
and pour yourself a glass of gin.

forget whatever else you have planned,

just come and sit, and hold my hand,

and let me stroke your silken skin,
and tell you how I did like to sin,

with you – so come and hold my hand,
and pour yourself a glass of gin.

hum rahein na rahein mehfilein sada raheingi

hum rahein na rahein mehfilein sada raheingi,
kuch kahein na kahein baatein sada raheingi,

dil ko behlaane ke liye shayari ek marz hai,
koi samjhe na samjhe shayari chalti rahegi,

jo ghar kar gaya hai iss dil mein,
ab ussi ki khatir meri rooh zinda rahegi,

hum rahein na rahein mehfilein sada raheingi,
kuch kahein na kahein baatein sada raheingi.

bahut dino se mera dil udaas rehta hai

bahut dino se mera dil udaas rehta hai,
main kya karu bas ek hi shaks yaad rehta hai.

kabhi khayal hi nahi aata ki main aakela hoon,
ab to mera pyaar saath bhi nahi rehta hai.

kisi se baat karte huye halat aajeeb hota hai,
mujhe to kuch bhi na hosh-o-hawaas rehta hai

kahi woh badal na jaaye, kahi woh mujhe bhool na jaaye,
naa jaane kyu mujhe ab yeh khauff har waqt rehta hai.

naa jane mere dil ko kya ho gaya hai,
kyu ab yeh har waqt udaas rehta hai.

woh lamha yaad aaya ek lamhein ke liye

woh tera muskurana, woh bahon mein mere aana,
woh pal-pal mein aana, woh har waqt mujhe satana,
woh lamha yaad aaya ek lamhein ke liye.

woh tera baat-baat par rooth jana,
woh tujh ko baaton-baaton mein manana,
woh tera pyaar karna, woh raaton ko intezar karna,
woh lamha yaad aaya ek lamhe ke liye.

woh chhup-chhup kar tera milna,
woh meri bechaniyon ko bardhana,
woh har lamhein mein khushiyan talash karna,
woh khushiyon ko samet kar daaman mein bharna,
woh lamha yaad aaya ek lamein ke liye,

woh tera yun hi chale jaana,
woh har kasam ko tord mujhe chord jaana,
woh mere aksh se bhi door na jaana,
woh chord kar mujh ko mere se door jaana,
woh lamha yaad aaya ek lamhe ke liye.

woh ho gaye paraya phir bhi yakin nahi

woh ho gaye paraya phir bhi yakin nahi,
ek aarjoo hai baki dil mein kahi kahin.

tumhein pa kar bhi kya paya,
tumhein kho kar kya kho diya,
phir kyun koi malaal hai dil mein kahi kahin.

na woh rishta na silsila hi raha,
tujhse na koi rabta hi raha,
phir kyun teri yaadein hain dil mein kahi kahin.

door tak nazaron mein hain waki veeraniya,
mujhko rula rahi hain teri nishaniyaan,

koi dard sa uthta hai dil mein kahi kahin.
mujhko maloom hai too lautker na aayega,

aur mera bulana bhi fizul jayega,
phir kyun milan ki aash hai dil mein kahi kahin.

it was a dream but sounded real

my god I heard you, once again thanks you
thanks you.. thanks you.. thanks you!

it was a dream, but sounded real
I saw you dialing fast, in vain.

contacts though failed, your zeal was real
then suddenly, when dialed again.

it rang for me, and continued
but, I was looking at you.. 

your face.. your eyes! and 

all was quietly viewed for long,

discovering rays of grace.

it rang! and rang and rang,

again thanks you! 

I thought, it was some one, not you.

I wanted, not to miss that view
then came, a hint from your sweet eyes.

in moments, disappeared all whys
I lifted! oh, that was your voice.

that view went-off, I heard the choice
you now wanted me, talk to you.

thanks you.. thanks you.. thanks you! 
your face appeared on phone with voice

I know, thou art always so nice
my senses know you, voice-and-face

your touch and scent your charming grace
but, I know-not the taste, as yet

comes in between, a flimsy net
and then I heard you, once again.

then door-bell rang poured-out the gain
my God.. I heard you once again thanks you,
thanks you.. thanks you.. thanks you!

kya tumhein yaad hai woh dilbar deewaana sa

kya tumhein yaad hai woh dilbar diwaana sa,
kuch to pagla sa, kuch woh mastaana sa.

bhool se dil-jalon ki mehfil mein aa gaya woh,
hua uske bhi dil ka phir jalna-jalaana sa.

gham zada tere dil ko thaama, kis dilkashi se,
lubha hi gaya chalkake ankhon se paimaana sa.

kabhi usko bhi jafayein sehni to pardi hongi,
kabhi uski bhi ankhon ne bahaya tha fasaana sa.

khil ke mila woh ajnabi, har ek se aashnaa sa,
goya ke ho woh koyi, shahan-shaah puraana sa.

nigaah-e-mast mein uska, ummeed ke diye jalaana,
kaisa laga uska, diwaana bana, jee ko churaana sa.

tere lafzon mein jhalakti hai ek surat uski,
kaise laga, logon ka usse tera deewana banana sa.

rehta tha jo duuba, apni hi dhun mein magan,
rehne laga anjuman mein, ab juda sa, begaana sa.

bheegi nazzaron se takna, teri berukh adaayein,
aaine se bhi dekha na gaya, uska kumhlaana sa.

ab to woh roye, to rota hi chala jaata hai,
karta hai shayri se, hasraton ka bujhaana sa.

waqt aa hi gaya, hans ke widaa kyun nahin karte,
har baat pe yeh kya ki, bura bhala sunaana sa.

kuch is tarah se toota dil apna

kuch is tarah se toota dil apna,
ke tordne waale ko bhi taras aa gaya,
jo tord kar dil mera
mujhe jeena seekha gaya,

woh samjh sakein to aanshu, na samjhe to paani

yeh inaayatein gazab ki,

yeh balaa ki meherbaani,

meri khairiyat bhi poocchi,

to kisi aur ki zubani,

meri be-zubaan aankho se,

gire hain chand katre,

woh samjh sakein to aanshu,

na samjh sakein to paani.

tannha main tha tannha safar tha

tannha main tha tannha safar tha,

aise mein dikh gaya chand.
jaha muda main jaha gaya main,

sath mere chal diya chand.

kyu laga o mujh ko apana sa,

shayad kahi main dekha tha,
gori ke ghooghat mein chhipe,

us chehare sa lag gaya chand.

raat bhi kali, kali badali,

jo bhi dikhata.. kala tha,
kaise kahu mujhe kitna bhaya,

aise mein haldiya chand.

shart lagayi maine usse,

dekhoge kya mera chand,
dekhate hi unki tashweer,

sharma ke chhip gaya chand.

tannha main tha tannha safar tha,

aise mein dikh gaya chand.
jaha muda main jaha gaya main,

sath mere chal diya chand.

jaane kahan hain manzilein, jaane kahan raah-e-dagar

jaane kahan hain manzilein, jaane kahan raah-e-dagar,
phir iske kyun shikve karein, koi nahi jo humsafar.

haste rahein - rote rahein, baithe rahein - chalte rahein,
kya kya karein, kya naa karein, beete nahi shaamo-sahar,

har shaam par woh aag hai jalti jo tere naam se,
ek hai shama seene mein bhi, roye jo mere haal par,

tere hi kadamon k nishan rahein yaadon ke tanha registaan mein,
woh shaks kis taraf gaya poochha karein deewaro-dar,

subho ki hawa bhi hai yahaan, lekin badi hairan hai,
kisko jaga kare ab, khushbu se kar ke tar-batar,

hota agar main aayina, rakh leta usko kaid kar,
har zakham se deta raahat bankar woh mera doctor.

kya in halat mein 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 kara aur woh bhi satate rahe,
socha tha ki 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 in halat mein hi jeena hoga umra bhar.
