waade pe aapne jab woh mukkar gaye

waade pe aapne yaaron, jab woh mukkar gaye,
lakhon hi zakhm mere, dil mein ubhar gaye,

jinpe tha humko khud se badhkar yakeen kabhi,
khanjar woh banke yaaron, dil mein uttar gaye,

bhaale lakh bachte yaaron, hona tha yeh magar,
gham peeche hi chale hai humare, hum jidhar gaye,

aauron ko chord jisne bhi, khud pe kiya yakeen,
mere khayal se woh, sab hi sawar gaye,

jo dusron ke ghamnon ko, samet-te rahe sada,
"raaj" jaise log yaaron, yun hi bhikar gaye.

lakhon ki hain koshishein humne tumko bhulane ki

lakhon ki hain koshishein, humne tumko bhulane ki,
chordi nahi kami koi, tumne bhi yaad aane ki,

baad tere jee paane ki khata humse hui nahi,
aayi hai ab baari meri, aeh yaar kasam nibhane ki,

kaise lagaye hum gale, tere baad zindagi ko sanam,
humnein to khayi hai kasam, tere pyaar mein mit jaane ki,

yaad aata hai har pal, woh gali tera, woh mohalla,
hoti nahi kya koi dawa, sab yaadon ko mittane ki?

baad yaar ke "raaj" mein na ruh baaki na jaan hai,
kar do rasam poori, iss deh ko tum jalane ki...!

lagta hai mann mein milne ki aas liye mar jaayenge

lagta hai mann mein milne ki
aas liye mar jaayenge,
ek adhoori chahat ka
itihaas liye mar jaayenge.

unki ek jhalak bhi
kabhi na mil paayegi,
kabhi na bujhne waali
pyaas liye mar jaayenge.

agle janam mein hi
shaayad ho unse madhur milan,
hum to kewal ek yehi
biswaas liye mar jaayenge.

mazdooron ki kismat mein kyon rona likha hai

mazdooron ki kismat mein kyon rona likha hai?
sar par sada kyon bhojh dhona likha hai?

zindagi bhar yeh mehal banate hain phir bhi,
mukaddar mein kyon jhauprdon mein sona likha hai?

banayi hai aisi kyon khuda takdeer inki,
aur ismein kyo tumne sada khona likha hai?

yeh karte hai sakkar jab sapne sabhi ke,
inke hisse kyon kanto ka bhichauna likha hai?

gar ismein khuda ki, marzi samajh le to,
kismat mein inki kyon, bas sapne sanjhona likha hai?

hota hai din jab ek nagma, raat ussi ko to gungunayegi

beet chuki hai raat ab jo, afsaane to wohi sunayegi,
hota hai din jab ek nagma, raat ussi ko to gungunayegi.

hariyaali jhadi hai jab perd se, patjhad ki kahani sunayenge,
mohabbat mein khayi jo haar hai, to nagmein aanshoon rulayenge,
chaat pe chadh door jitna bhi dekhein, raat nabh ke taare dikhayegi,
hota hai din jab ek nagma, raat ussi ko to gungunayegi.

jala hai patanga deep mein, jab bhawrah phool mein band hua hai,
mohabbat hi aage laata hai dil, jab papihe ki pi-pi sunta hai,
hamesha hi humnein yahi mana, mohabbat ki ruh tarpayegi,
hota hai din jab ek nagma, raat ussi ko to gungunayegi. 

zameen pe ab ho raha hai kya, ithaas bankar dohraayenge,
aur baaton ki tarah isko bhi log, ek din bhool jaayenge,
jo bhi hai aaj, kahani woh kal hamari zubaan yeh batlayegi,
hota hai din jab ek nagma, raat ussi ko to gungunayegi. 

kaanta chubha gar paav mein to, uss zakham par dard hi hoga,
ghabrao nahi mere dost, zakham waqt aane pe bhar jaayegi,
aagosh mein waqt ke beithi hai, jo zindagi to thoda rulayegi,
hota hai din jab ek nagma, raat ussi ko to gungunayegi. 

din hai dooba aur raat hai aayi, so jaa sapno mein kho jao,
nahi pa sakte ho din mein jo, tum raat sapnon mein paa jaao,
jas dard sahoge aaj gar to, subhah suhanni hokar aayegi,
hota hai din jab ek nagma, raat ussi ko to gungunayegi. 

kitna shaur tha, kitni garmahat thi mahaul mein

kitna shaur tha, kitni garmahat thi mahaul mein,
hans rahe the woh aur khushi thi hamare bol mein,

ki ek angdaai li zindagi ne, apni taakat dikhayi,
dhamm se dhamak di, achanak khamoshi chaayi,

chhayi aisi khamoshi ki phir naa koi dastak kaam aayi,
thamm se gaye kadam, koi raah bhi samajh naa aayi,

nazar lagi kisi-ki yaa yeh pehlu ek aur inn rahon ka,
jisne bujha di lau, woh jis pe thi kabhi zindagi jhilmilayi.

I can, you can, we can

do all the good you can,
by all the means you can,

in all the ways you can,
in all the places you can,

at all the times you can
to all the people you can

as long as ever you can
success does come in cans,

I can, you can, we can!
