Main Hoker Bhi...

main hoker bhi hun nahin,
jism kaid hai, par ruh nahin,
band diwaron ke peeche jhankti aankhen hain,
sapno ko pakadati nazar nahin,
kampkampati aah tutt kar reh jaaye yahan,
dil se dil ki awaaz ruk paaye nahin,
khayalon ko dabba rakh sakte hain,
iss aazaad dil ki parwaaz nahin
main hoker bhi hun nahin,
jism kaid hai par ruh nahin

woh khush hain jo dekhe hain,
zanzeeron mein jhakde hue mujhe,
nadaan hain jo samajh baithe hain,
kya yunhi rok payenge mujhe,
haath bandhe bhi toh kya,
hothon se aazaan rok sakte nahin,
begaar hoker sar jhuka rakha hai zaroor,
iss aazzad dil ki udaan thaam sakte nahin,

zindagi rok sakte hain, saansein tod sakte hain,
tujh tak jo pahunche, raaste mod sakte hain,
jeene ki talab phir bhi zinda hai,
armaano ki lo yun dafnaa sakte nahin,
hosh laddkhadda sakte hain lekin,
be-baak dil ki raftaar nahin,
main hoker bhi hun nahin,
jism kaid hai par ruh nahin

Hosh Ud Gaye

tere pyaar mein doobe khudi ko bhul gaye,
kya chadi hai khumari ke mere hosh ud gaye;
ab bas tanha rehne ko jee karta hai,
tere khalayon mein hi dil mera lagta hai;
tujhe dekhte hi duniya haseen ho jaati hai,
jhoom uthta hai mann, tabiyat rangeen ho jaati hai; :p
chod saare bandhan, hum tere raaste jud gaye,
kya chadi hai khumari ke...mere hosh hi ud gaye

Ud Chalein

kab tak khud ko yun baandh kar rakhenge,
kab tak yeh parr na khulenge;
khula aasmaan tayaar hai baahein failaaye,
kyun na khawabon ke peeche aaj ud jaayein;
raasta khudgaraz sahi manzil beimaan hi sahi,
beparwah hawa ki tarah lahrayein, lad jaayein;
khawaishein toh bahut hain iss dil ki,
uss chahat ke sadke jo tere paas le aaye;
kuch halke kuch behke palon ke saath,
ud chalein wahan, taqdeer jahan le jaaye.

Dil-e-nadaan

ae dil-e-nadaan uth jaa, yeh tujhe hua kya hai,
aasaar keh rahe hain, iss marz ki ab koi dawa na hai...
choti choti baaton mein uljha jaane kya sochta hai,
dimaag ke ghode duada kar hi, thak haar baithta hai,

tujhe manane ki khatir, karne padte hain kitne jatan,
aawaarhgi ki hadh hai, bulbulon si hai lagan

kabhi toh jaag, kabhi apni annkhen khol,
zindagi kat jayegi, le le iska mol,
naa duniya ki suni, naa kuch apni kari,
kab tak pitega yeh bin awaaz ka dhol,

kab tak bunega yeh khayalon ka sadan,
aawaarhgi ki hadh hai, bulbulon si hai lagan

Kab ??

dil se dil ki raah mil paayegi kab,
khuli aankhon mein neend aayegi kab
timtamate taaron ki chaadar mein chupi,
iss roshni ko subah mil paayegi kab
teri yaadon ko ddhak ke rakhe hain,
koi inhe humse churaaye na ab
takiye ke neeche dabbi tasveer bhi,
iss aah se aazaadi paaye ab

Keep Coming Back

Sitting at the window, I am thinking about us,
It’s been days, when I’ve seen you at first,
O baby, you are the one I love,
Away from you, is it so must?
Whenever far or farther you go,
My heart beats faster than before,
There’s me, my life is now lack,
And your memories keep coming back,
They just keep coming back…

I am trying to think something else,
Not able to clear this dumb mind’s mess,
Morphing your picture in every face I see,
Get your trace in anything I touch and feel,
There’s nothing I forget, nothing where I slack,
As your memories keep coming back
Just keep coming back…

You And I

I live, I die,
I laugh and I cry,
I love the rain someday,
and someday when it’s dry,

I remember something,
and I forget some,
Sometimes I talk clever,
and sometimes dumb,

Everything I do,
it gets meaning with you,
No matter from where I start,
I stop at you,

I want to change,
many things in you,
I want you to,
remain like this forever too,

I am somebody,
when I am with you,
I am a lifeless soul,
without you,

You inspire my,
every move,
You hold me,
whenever I droop,

Everything I do,
it gets meaning with you,
No matter from where I start,
I stop at you,

Baby, you are,
the beginning for everything,
With you,
it's surely a magical living !
