bas thodi duur aur.....

Rishton ka dhaaga kuch aisey toot raha tha,

maano raat say chandani ka saath choot raha tha,

ashk bhari aankhen kar rahi thi nayi subah ka inteezar,

woh ashk tho sookh gaye par raat thi barkarar...

kya in dhaagon ko phir jod paaonga sochtha hoon main,

par phir bikhri zindagiyon ko sametana chahta hoon main,

teri zindagi kay khoye hue lamhon ko lauta nahin sakta main,

par teri in tanhaiyon ko duur karna chahta hoon main.... 

bas ab aur is jeevan say na-ummeed na hona tum,

bas thodi duur aur mera bina chal lena tum,

us naye savere ka aagaz ho raha hain dekho,

aaney wali nayi zindagi ki kadmon ki aahat tho suno,

tumhara aaj tumhare kal ko dekh kar khush ho raha hain, 

kyonki woh un haseen rishton ko phir judta dekh raha hain... 

The Secret Keepers...

She held him close to her breast,
whispering in his ear, her anxiety put to rest,
fingers pressed against her lips, she smiled,
"Shhhh..Dont tell anyone", was the meaning implied...

Little did the child realise what had transpired,
"I, The Secret" was born, "I", who his mother fathered,
As the child hid "me" inside his innocent smile,
"I" gave him friendships that will last many miles..
He now was one amongst them, whose "I" was the postilion,
"The Secret keepers" they are, a guild of many killions....

Spread around us, to cheer up our lives they try,
give us their shoulder when we so wish to cry,
friends, foes, family, they house them all
,they are always there for us, be it summer or fall,
In them we place all our trust,
lest a day comes, when the bubble goes bust...

They are the pandora's box, they are it's keys,
A life without them, a lonely boat in the open seas,
At times we fear, the faceless traitor amidst them,
Trust us, they say, Don't let that fear stem...

As I bid goodbye to all my unwanted fears,
assured my secrets wont flow, even in their tears,
I Thank god that I am not a solitary reaper,
for I am blessed with a hundred thousand "Secret Keepers"...

kya isi ka naam zindagi hain...

kyon yeh talaash kabhi khatam hoti nahin hain,
hamesha kuch aur paaney ki pyaas bhujthi nahin hain,
nazar pherta rehta hoon un choti choti khushiyon say,
aur khota rehta hoon hazaar maukey phir jee uthney kay,
kabhi, baith kar jab bayan karta hoon apni yeh dastaan,
kehte hain sabhi, "dost, shayad isi ka naam zindagi hain"....

aaj aur kal...

har lamha lamha mujhsey keh raha hain,
apney aaj ko jee lay, kal tera ghumshuda hain,
mana dekhe hain tuney sunheray kal kay sapney,
par khuli aankon say aapney aaj ko kyon kho raha hain...

A train of thought...

A train of thought leaves the mind,
with hope and faith left behind,
Says Dont fear the pain or the grind,
the castle of my dreams I shall surely find..

Waqt ki meherbaani..

Dost zyaada duur nahin, bas do kadam aagey hain tumse,
teri ek pukaar par haazir honge, itna bharosa rakho humse,
Yeh sochna nahin, ki koi farak hain hummay aur tummay,
yeh tho kambakht waqt ka khel hain, jo meherbaan ho gaya pehle humpay..

Talaash...

In andhero may kabse chala ja raha hoon,
apni parchaiyan bhi nahi dhoond pa raha hoon,
Thi mujhe bas roshni ki ek kiran ki talaash,
par jugnuon say kaam chala raha hoon....

aapki aur meri kahani..

Hain yeh ek aam aadmi ki kahani,
thodi jaani, thodi pechaani,
zindagi ki jung ladney ki thi jisney thaani,
hain yeh shayad humarey tumharey jeevan ki kahani ...

Parivar nay dekhey they uskey liye kayi sapney,
Usey laga uski dil ki baat jantey they apney...
yehi soch kar aagey badtey rahey uskey kadam,
aur uski icchayen ghut kar marti rahin hardam..

Doosron key sapno ko apna man liya jisney,
kuch karkey dikhana hain yeh thaan liya usney..
Woh janta tha bahut kuch peeche choot raha tha,
kisi ki mohabbat aur doston say naata toot raha tha,
apna seena thok ek wada kar liya tha jisney,
"hamesha jeetna hain mujhey" thaan liya tha usney...

phir aisi lagayi usney mehnat ki chadi,
safalta bhi uski parchai ban hui khadi,
hamesha aagey rehna aadat ban gayi uski,
kyonki haar manna fidrat nahi thi uski...

aisey kayi padhav aaya jeevan may,
jab asafalta gehri chot kar gayi mashtisk may,
Kamzor padh raha tha hausla, toot rahi thi himmat,
na jaaney kya khel, khel rahi thi uski kismat..

aakhir sangharsh uska khatam hua ek din,
katinaiyon bharey safar ki manzil mili jis din,
ab shuru honey wali thi uski sapno ki udaan,
aakhir rang laye they uskey anek balidaan..

aaj aasman may uncha ud raha hain woh,
par saahil par dharti say naata jodey hain woh...

Shayad jo kuch woh chatha tha, sab nahin paya hain usney,
par apney aap say kiya har wada nibhaya hain usney...
Kabhi doosron aur Kabhi khud kay liye jiya hain usney,
Kabhi Dil aur kabhi Dimaag say salah lee hain usney,
Ek hum jaisey albele mastaney ki thi yeh kahani
thodi jaani, thodi pechaani...

The light was red... (First attempt in english)

The light was red,
I got hit on my head,
The daze was broken,
I felt bad to be awoken..

Now when I am wide awake,
"that" feels all so fake,
I will win over this agony,
for I still believe in destiny.....

Itni si Khwaish...

Ek sunheri shaam ki hain yeh baat,
Main tha aur meri tanhaee thi mere saath,
Achanak saamney aayi ek apsara,
Boli kya hain tere dil ki khwaish bata..

Thoda ghabrakar, Muskurate huey main bola..
Khwaish itnisi hain is dil ki..

"Andhere ko roshni ki jhalak mil jaye
Kohram ko aman ka paigam mil jaye..

Sooraj ko badalon ki chaon mil jaaye
chand ko sitaron ka saath mil jaye..

Is Gumnaam zindagi ko ek pehchaan mil jaye
In Tanhaiyon may kisi ka saath mil jaye..

Mere khwabon ko hakeekat ka aaina mil jaye
Aur Mujhko jeeney ka ek maksad mil jaye..

In Aansuon ko kisiki palkon ka kinara mil jaye
Aur is Chahat ko kisi kay dil ki panah mil jaye..."

Ek Safar ki Kahani... DoCC :)

Tha woh ek naya shaher, karni thi hamey ek nayi baat,
Dartey they kya kuch haasil kar payangey wahan,
logon kay dilon may apna nishaan chod payangey kahan...

Baarish ki boondon nay kiya humara wahan swagat,
Socha humney, Ishwar ka ashirwaad hain yeh..
Kuch hi dino may hakeekat ka hua ehsaas,
lagney laha ek namumkin sa pahaad hain yeh...

Phir kuch din kay liye bhool kaam, hum mast ho gaye,
Un haseen vadiyon kay aanchal may gum ho gaye,
Baarish may dhuley pahadon ki sawari ki humney,
Thandi hawa kay jhonkon say thodi baat ki humney,
Badalon nay jab galey lagay dharti ko,
hum unmay khel rahe they,
Bhool khud ko is nayi jannat may phir jee rahe they...

Janaat tho vahin raha par hum hosh may aa gaye...
In kuch haseen dino kay baad ek naye josh may aa gaye...
Hum yahan kuch kar sakte hain ehsaas ho gaya humein
Apni kabiliyat par phirsey vishwaas ho gaya humein...

Jo Safar humney chuna tha, kathin tha magar...
Ek doosre par vishwas say tiki rahi manzil par nazar...
Jo hum chahtey they, woh haasil kar liya humney
Ek nayi shuruvaad ka agaaz kar diya humney...

Badlav ka pahiya tez ghoom raha hain ab,
Dua karte hain sab theek ho jayen wahan ab...
Jitna humney unhe diya, ussey kahin zyaada paaya hain,
Unkey Pyaar aur adar ka anmol thofa
apney sar ankon par lagay hain..

Badal gaya main :)

Main bahut badal gaya hoon kehte hain sab
har naye andaaz par hairaan hotey hain sab
Poochte hain mujhse, kaun hain badlav ka kaaran
aur haskar karte hain meri purani aadaton ka varnan...

Yeh sab sunkar ek sawaal uththa hain dil may mere
main sach main badal gaya hoon ya sabki aankhon ka dokha hain
Jawaab dhoond raha tha ki, Dil machal kay bola

"dost badal tho tum gaye ho
lagta hain markar phir jee uthey ho
Ek nayi zindagi day di mujhe tumney
kisi kaaran ki zaroorat nahi hain jisey
bas itni si hain guzarish tumsey
kisi ki khatir apney aap ko na badalna
khud ko pehchaan na pao, aisa koi kaam na karna"

Mera Aks..

Jin lamhon ko khaas banatey ho tum,
Un lamhon ko kavita banata hoon main,
Yun jo mujhsey rooth jaatey ho tum
Meri in kavitaon ka aks ban jaatey ho tum!!!

Dost ka Janamdin...

Nadi Ki raftar see tez yeh zindagi
Aaj thumna chahti hain,
Kuch pal kay liye rukk kar
In hawaon say kuch kehna chahti hain...

Mere dost ka janamdin hain aaj,
tum usmay shaamil ho jao,
Suraj ki kirano kay saath phulon ki khushbo lay jaao,
Khubsoorat banado uska is din ko
Aur lautthey huey uski khushi ki ek jhalak ley aao...

Yeh Safar...

Kuch dino pehle shuru hua tha jo
woh suhana safar khatam honey ko hain
Safar hum naye kar lenge magar
Par tera saath kahan milega yeh dukh hain humey!!!

Kyon kho gaye tum

Dhoond raha hoon tuhje apni tanhaiyon mein,
Kahan Kho gaya ho tum in galiyaaron mein,
Itni duur kyon chaley gayey ho mujhse,
key miltey nahin ho mujhe meri parchaiyon mein!!!!

TUM :)

Suraj ki pehli kiran ho tum
Mere andhere man ki roshni ho tum
Ek haseen sapna ya hakeekat ho tum
Meri is zindagi ka astitva ho tum

Kabhi milogi mujhse yeh janta hoon main
Tuhje pehchaan jaoonga yeh manta hoon main

Inteezar tera main sada karta rahoonga
Mil jaye tu mujhe yeh roz dua karoonga
Itna karta hoon hain khud par aetbaar
Manunga na main kabhi haar........

Khushi hoon main...

Suraj ki tez dhoop hoon main, chand ki sheetal roshni bhi,
ek hawa ka jhonka hoon aur geeli mitti ki khusboo bhi,
mujhe haasil karnay ki koshish kyon karna,
main tho tumhare rag rag may basta hoon,
par tum nay kabhi mujhe mehsoos hi nahin kiya,
yash kay nashey may itna choor they ki apney dil say mera pata bhi na poocha,
jo tumhare itney paas tha usey doosron may dhoondte rahe,
jo pehle say tumhara tha, usey haasil karney ki koshish karte rahe
ab kahan dhoond paogey tum mujhe, mainey khud ko chupa liya hain,
Apni har ek chahat ko apney dil may daba liya hain
