kitna hai mujhse pyaar likh do

ek baar kar ke aitbaar likh do,
kitna hai mujhse pyaar likh do.

kat-ti nahi yeh zindagi ab tere bin,
kitna karu aur intezaar likh do.

taraste rahe hai bardi muddat se,
iss baar apni mohabbat ka izhaar likh do.

jada nahi likh sakte to mat likho tum,
mohabbat bhare lafaz do chaar likh do.

ek baar likho mohabbat hai mujhe tumse,
phir yahi jumla baar baar likh do.

since I met you let me tell you

since I met you, let me tell you
my wants for love, are peaking forth and forth,

things are becoming different each day
and memories recurrent each day,

I am brooding now and then in partial trance
and loosing concentrations, thoughts astray

you might not have yet marked, but let me tell
I am busy often with no work in hand

my daily routines are now in shambles
my life purports now only in gambles

now I don’t know what happens in your eyes
my inner most, but, pines in silent cries

who knows, these things will ever change or not?
fate perplexes me midst these truths or lies

you are dwindling in your own logic and scores
my wants for love are peaking forth and forth.

it’s midnight  yet my sleep is not in view
I am turning obliquely: but why on cue?

why every longing, turns to you always?
why every thing is old in me; none new?

I am not finding what has abruptly changed
why things have widely altered and deranged?

where have I erred, I certainly know not
or I have been by some one now avenged?

you did nice things to me, grateful am I?
were full of love at times, grateful am I?

your lectures were perfect: inflicted deeps
I am deeply feeling: how grateful am I?

I can’t ever compel: it’s but sure as death
but wants for love are peaking forth and forth. 

kabhi zindagi mein saath mera mat chhordna

kabhi zindagi mein saath mera mat chhordna,
khushi ho ya gham mujhse muh mat mordna.

tera haath thama to zindagi lagne lagi hai haseen,
duniya bhar ki saari khushiyan tere sadke afreen,

khushi ke pal mein ashkon se rishta mat jordna.
lafzon mein bayaan nahin kar sakta main teri saadgi,

daaman mein samate hue hai masoom si bekhudi,
khawab khoobsurat dikhakar dil mat tordna.

aise hi mujhse sada tu pyaar karti rahe,
raahe wafa ke har mord par aitbaar karti rahe,
shikwe gile yaad kar dil mat tordna.

shall you be till time comes to an end?

when things are confused I discuss them with you,

until they make sense when something good happens,

you are the first I tell so I can share my happiness.

when I don’t know what to do in a situtation,
I ask your opinion and weigh it heavily with mine.

when I am lonely I call on you because
your wisdom helps me to solve it.

when I want to talk with someone,
I always talk with you because you understand me.

it is so essential to have you in my life,
I have always loved you as my good freind, 

so shall you be till time comes to an end?

mere baba aaj bhi paise bachate hain

purani pant raffu kara pehante jaate hain,
branded new shirt dene pe aankhein dikhate hain,
tutte chasme se hi akhbaar padhne ka luft uthate hain,
topaz ke blade se dhadhi banate hain,
mere baba aaj bhi paise bachate hain.

kapda ka puraana thaila liye,
door ki mandi mein jaate hain,
bahut mol-bhav karke fal-sabji laate hain,
aata nahi kharidte, geyhun piswate hain,
mere baba aaj bhi paise bachate hain.

station se ghar paidal hi aate hain,
rikshaw lene se kat-raate hain,
sehat ka hawala dete jaate hain,
badhti mehngaayi par chinta jatate hain,
mere baba aaj bhi paise bachate hain.

poori garmi pankhe mein bitaate hain,
sardiyaan aane par rajaayi mei dubakk jaate hain,
ac/heater ko sehat ka dushman batate hain,
light-pankha khula chordne par gussa ho jaate hain,
mere baba aaj bhi paise bachate hain.

maa ke haath ke khaane mein ramte jaate hain,
bahar khaane mein aana-kaani machhate hain,
saaf-safayi ka hawala dete jaate hain,
mirch-masala-tel se ghabraate hain,
mere baba aaj bhi paise bachate hain.

guzare kal ke kisse sunate hain,
kaise yeh sab joda, garav se batate hain,
puraane dino ki yaad dilate hain,
bachhat ki ahemiat batate hain,
hamari har maang aaj bhi,
jhat se pura kerte jaate hain,
ha.. mere baba aaj bhi paise bachate hain.

jo keh rahe hai hum har bar nahi kahte

jo keh rahe hai hum har bar nahi kahte,
ke jismo ke milne ko hi pyar nahi kahte.

ke khamosh se aankhein hi keh jaati hai sab kuch,
jo kahe labbo se unko hi ijhaar nahi kahte.

aankhon mein unki aashu kajal se bhi hai pyaare,
ke husn ke sajne ko he shringaar nahi kahte.

jo dil agar hai saccha woh hai milaane waala,
yun hi khuda aye usko hum yaar nahi kahte.

jo keh rahe hai hum har bar nahi kahte,
lagta hai usne meri ebaadat ka sila diya hai,
jis mord pe thokar khaya, unme tumse mila diya hai.

aa chal aansmaan pe koodein, uchal ke phir chaand ko torde

aa chal aansmaan pe koodein,
uchal ke phir chaand ko torde,

baadlon pe girein to boodon pe fislein,
unke saath utar,  zameen ko choomein,

pakad mera haath, chal titliyon pe baithe,
phoolon ke ras ko hum bhi choosein,

bhar ke usse munh mein apne,
bhanware ki tarah hum bhi jhoomein,

dekhte ho kya, chal taaron ko tordein,
bhar ke jeb, jholi ko kholein,

hogi na raat kabhi jebo mein apne,
soch ke yhe hum khush ho lein,

sookha hai to chal uss mein naha lein
baki jo bache to usse baha dein,

girti hai roz subah bina nal khole,
naha kar chidiyon ki tarah chah-chaha lein.
