apne badal jaate hain waqat ke sath

waqat badalta hai zindagi ke sath,
zindagi badalti hai mohabbat ke sath,

mohabbat nahi badalta apno ke sath,
bas apne badal jaate hain waqat ke sath.

jab bhi tum yaad aate ho main sab kuch bhool jaata hoon

jab bhi tum yaad aate ho,
main sab kuch bhool jaata hoon,

tera hansta hua chehra,
teri jadu bhari baatein,
tere gille tere shikwe,
teri masoom addayein,

tere yadoon ke jhule mein,
main tannha jhul jaata hoon,
jab bhi tum yaad aate ho,
main sab kuch bhool jaata hoon.

aksar chooti si baaton par,
jab tum rooth jate the,
mere manane se pehle,
khud hi maan jaate the,

jab bhi khawabon mein aate ho,
to khushi se phool jaata hoon,
jab bhi tum yaad aate ho,
main sab kuch bhool jaata hoon.

neendon ke safar mein

din bhar tere khayaloon mein doobey,
jab raat ko takiye par ser rakha,
to ek anjaani khushi mahsoos huyi,
khawab mein tere dedar ki khushi...

ki yahi to ek mumkin jarya hai tujh se milne ka,
ya iss baat ke khushi ke kal ka sooraj
tujh se mulakkat ki tareek ko kareeb layega,

lekin iss khushi mein jahlakta hai ek ajeeb sa daar,
ki agar saari raat tere hi yaad mein neend nahi ayi to,
tujh se milne ki khawish to adhoori rah jayegi,
aur mere dil ka chain-e-karar jo tujh se hai,
woh naseeb na hoga...

issi kash-ma-kash mein na jane kab annk lagi mere,
tere tasveer ko nigahoon mein paa kar yeh mehsus hua ki,
ab main neendon ke safar mein hoon,
aur tu mera hamsafar hai hamesha ki tarha.

raaj hai mera naam

bakaiti thakur hoon main, raaj hai mera naam,
bhoole bhatako ko raah dikhana, hai mera kaam,

pade likhe bewakoof se, nit hoti mulakaat,
kosish kerne par bhi samjhe na meri baat,

mandir mein jaa ker log ebaadat kerte hain,
apne sukh samridhi ki wakalat kerte hain,

kalyug mein ishwar ko paana hai aasaan nahi,
prem bhaw se bhakti kerne wala hai insaan nahi,

guru-shisya ka nata aaj kalankit ho gaya,
naytikta ka pattan aaj sunischhit ho gaya,

mata-pita ki baani hoti annmol hai,
baccho ke liye jo kadvi besak ghol hai,

yoga yoga sab kahe, par kare na koi,
samay-samay par yog kerte to rog hoye na koi..

why did you have to leave?

nights I dream of you,
wish you were here by my side,
thinking of you so many times...

when were together
it felt so right, we were so happy
and I know it also meant something to you,

then you had to leave
and heard not a word from you,
when we talk you say you miss me
why have you treated me this way?

I am sitting and wondering,
I am starring in front of me,
I feel a lump in my throat,
I sit with tears in my eyes,
feeling low.. I know you gone.

why did you leave me this way?
you promise you will never leave,
then why did you have to leave?
why did you say goodbye?

but what I feel for you
you’ll never know.

why did you have to leave?

tannha-e-safar itna muskil na tha

itna maasoom to dard-e-zigar na tha,
jismein rahe, wahi apna ghar na tha,

mere hi kadmon se kyun lahoo baha,
iss kadar zaalim to yeh saffar na tha,

hum bhi aise tishnagi ke maare hain,
chale bhi udhar, rastaa jidhar na tha,

wafa-e-mohabbat teri gar hua hota,
tannha-e-safar itna muskil na tha,

kuch sangin jurm karun marne ke liye,
ek gunaah mein shayad woh asar na tha,

kabhi rangon ki tarhaa bikhra tera ishq,
ro diye hum jo aaj woh tirr-e-nazar na tha,

aaj khaamoshi se sitam ”raaj” pe kiya,
warna kal tak tu itna be-kadar na tha. 

ab khushi mein bhi muskuraya nahi jaata

khwaabon ka taaj ab banaya nahi jaata,
ek kadam bhi ab apne aap ko azmaya nahi jaata,

log to gham ko bhi apne
muskaan ke saaye mein chupa lete hain,
humein to ab khushi mein bhi muskuraya nahi jaata.

haqeeqat hi kuch aise khel khelti hai zindagi se,
ke ab khwaabo ko aankhon mein laya nahi jaata.

jaane wale ab peeche murd kar nahi dekhte,
ab humse bhi baar-baar bulaya nahi jaata,

"raaj" ko phir bhi yakeen hai apni mohaabat mein,
sacha pyaar ho to kisi se bhi tukraya nahi jaata.
