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.
