Silence Asks...

The silence asks me,
There are two options,
Would you wait for redemption?
Or ruin with all the fallibility.

With fallibility, I will stay beside you,
Walk you through all possible imperfections,
Till I disgust you in your mind,
And you hate all our interactions.
That might satisfy me,
Cause I would know,
That there is not an iota of love,
For me you would show.
I will stop trying for us then,
I will stop trying for anyone,
I will stop, breathe and then run again,
Into the darkness until it fades too.

To give redemption a shot,
Is to create a menace,
Working out something that you don’t want,
Working out something I won’t get.
Expectations would ruin us,
You will pity me,
Sure that would be a scar for life,
And I don’t need to live on empathy.
When you finally let go,
I will still follow you,
Until either you are lost in the mist,
Or I find a cliff.
And there will still be darkness,
This time I would search for the light,
A light that I had seen once,
A light that had faded long ago.

You ruined love for me,
For you, now I would ruin me,
Lust would be my hobby,
And you would hate me.

Cause I can bear your hatred,
More than I can bear a fake hope.

A hope that I would love you and you would love me,
And we would be an example for this world to see.
Every morning, I would wake up to live the day
with you, and every moment thereafter,
Live your every single sorrow,
And give all the possible laughter.
And every night when you sleep,
I would look at you by my side,
And for the same moments next day,
With you, I would bide.

The silence asks me,
Is it worth the wait..?
I answered away in silence...

Dear God

Dear God, I am confused.

When I was young,
I always had lots of fun.

I was told, I had a say in everything,
And I could do what I wanted,
So amidst the grownups now,
Why do I feel so haunted?

Why did I have to grow up?
And bear the responsibilities of this world,
Why are the rules so suffocating?
Why is happiness so curled?

Why can't there be forgiveness,
Why are consequences there?
Why can't people be friendlier?
Why isn’t everything equal and fair?

This world where friendship is bait,
For a deeper selfish cause,
Where society harms its own people,
With cold and superstitious laws.

I miss my world with the tooth fairies,
Which said that Santa was real.
Where happy endings were constant,
Where existed your angels.

Why did you have to take that away from me?
Suddenly this world has become harsh,
It’s difficult, this transition,
I feel like I am trapped in a marsh.

I ask you, I shout,
For a branch that would pull me out,
Cause instead of drowning in my plight,
I would try and give it a fight.

I fear...

Toughness may just be my cover,
Cause I always feared the possibility of the worst.
And when it comes to you,
Optimism seems an illusion.

I fear that irrelevant people,
May affect the most relevant decisions of our lives.

I fear that hoax words of the air,
May suffocate us.

I fear that promises and priorities,
May drift us apart.

I fear that the moment of exult we wait for,
May become our deadlock.

I fear that you, the significant one,
May never be able to understand what you mean to me.

I fear that the fact,
The fact that you are incredible,
That one day, when people realise that,
I would become just an audience for you.

I fear that you had a better past,
You deserve a better future,
And I am just a link,
A sidekick to this amazing story,
Where, you are the protagonist,
And I am just another character.

I fear, I have always been in a complex,
I always did want to be a reacher,
The good part about being a reacher is,
The settler is the best thing that could happen to him,
But the worst part is,
It is not the other way round...

Romanch

Jeene ki chaahat hai,
Adhoore khwabon ki kashti ko kinara chahiye.

Lehar abhi shaant hai,
Mere iraadon ki khabar se pare hai.

Iss sanaate ki awaaz mein,
Ek sangeet hai, jashn ka.

Saaf neele aasmaan par,
Safed rang bikher diye kisi ne.

Itne aasaan azmat ki,
Naa aadat thi, naa aadat ho.

Shaam ne paigaam diya andhere ko,
Meri tamanna ke baare mein.

Tabhi shayaad hawaon ke rukh mein taazagi aa gayi,
Aandhiyon mein jaise jaan si aa gayi.

Jaise in kaale baadlon ke saaye mein,
Aasmaan ka rang aur gaadha ho gaya.

Abhi toh safar ka imtehaan chaalu hua hai,
Abhi toh zindagi mein romanch chalu hua hai...

Scientists!

Why do we remember Alexander Graham Bell, I don't remembering him inventing Bongs!

...make you proud.

You asked not much,

I haven’t tried enough,

But I would love to keep going,

Until either the fight or the fighter perishes.

Its the desiderium, I know not what I seek,

I know not where to peek,

But I will essay for sure, 

With all the extravagance it asks for.

I know not what the road is paved of,

But I have started barefoot,

And I am willed,

To leave a blood trail.

One day, I will win,

I will stand apart from the routine crowd,

One day, you, my graceful lady,

Will feel very proud.

That day, I just hope,

You come by my side,

And for all the plight, for my long fight,

Pat my shoulders and hug me tight.

I think I can sit then,

I can celebrate, I can pause,

And like a little cub,

Crawl between your paws.

Strive!

I often sleep on my tears,
And in the morning, when I open my eyes,
One teeny tiny of them, often rolls down my cheek.

I often choke on what has happened,
But I guess I can’t undo this,
I can only go on to make up for what has happened.

My smile has become artificial,
I am trying to get its rawness back,
But I guess, attached to it now
Is a weed of guilt and disappointment, I cannot get rid of.

I want to sleep sound,
But I guess something is yelling inside me,
Asking me, to end what I started,
Asking me, to give what I failed to give.

Hence, I fight this war,
For the dignity that I have lost,
I will strive,
Causing failing is no more an option.

Zanjeer

Azaadi maang raha hun,
Kyunki bandhaa hun main,
Ab mujhe jeene do.

Zanjeer hai ye vaadon ki,
Ab toh khol do,
In vaadon ke keemat,
Ab adaa karne ki taakat nahi.

Zanjeer hai ye yaadon ki,
Ab toh khol do,
Kamzor aur laachaar rehta hun,
Ateet ke un palon ko hi baar baar jeeta hun.

Zanjeer hai ye ummidon ki,
Ab toh khol do,
Darr lagta hai,
Sangharsh karne se pehle hi haar naa jaun.

Zanjeer hai ye muqaddar ki,
Ab toh khol do,
Mehnat karne wale kisaan bhi,
Ab kismat ka jua khel rahe hain.

Zanjeer hai ye bhawnaon ki,
Ab toh khol do,
Meri kaamyaabi ke raasta par,
Mushkil rukavaton ki tarah hain.

Zanjeer hai ye waqt ki,
Ab toh khol do,
Na ye khud thame,
Na mujhe thamne de.

Zanjeeron se bandhe mere ye pair,
Raaste mein bikhre hain kaanch ke tukde,
Haalaat bhaagne ko keh rahe hain,
Ab darr ke harr katre se moksh do.

Left me shattered

My eyes are desperate,
They want it to come out,
But I guess it has dried up inside,
Or maybe, it doesn’t want to face this world.

My head is heavy,
For all the sins I have done
Are asking me for a payback,
Its time I go for redemption.

My heart is pounding,
It was hurt before,
But this time it is abrupt,
Unbearable was the pain.

I knew it was coming,
I was just too carried away,
I refused to see it,
I expected the unexpected.

But now, it has happened,
It has left me shattered,
I am trying to get myself together,
But I guess the pieces are too small,
No matter how hard I am going to try,
There will be missing pieces,
Cause once broke,
It is never the same again.

I wait for the spring,
My last hope,
For a new life,
For optimism,
To move on,
To get along.

Keeping you alive..

With you gone,
I thought I won't last,
In these high tides
of this ocean vast.

I had dropped my pen,
Thought, no more my cup of tea,
Without you, my inspiration,
I believed, I won't break free.

I feel so tied up,
In chains of memories with you,
We weren't going to work any ways,
We were too good to be true.

I could smell the fragrance of leisure
with you around me,
I could taste the sweetness of nature
and grew fond of all that I could see.

I am desperate, I need you,
You always complemented me,
Like the dew on the leaves
in the dawn of a flowering tree.

I fear from making moments now,
They are misleading, they hold me,
Instead I would prefer the monotony,
like the shadows of the tree.

Now, when I look at what I dropped,
I think, I better sit in my hive,
Using my words, my empathy,
Trying to keep you alive.

Gunaah

Aaj maikhane mein jaam bahut aam hai,
Aaj sharaaab ke nashe mein koi baat nahi,
Aaj iss mahaul mein mosiqi ka koi asar nahi,
Aapki maujudgi ne sab ko neecha dikha diya.

Shayar ki kavita,
Sangeetkaar ki rachna,
Ziarat ka aman,
Sharaabi ki madira aap ho.

Khuda ki khudi toh dekho,
Aap jaisi khoobsurat cheez ko banaakar,
Aur iss madhushala mein mujhe aapse milakar,
Band kamre mein mujhse gunaah karwane chalaa hai.

Izhaar ka intezaar

Unke izhaar ke intezaar mein,
Mausam tak badal gaye,
Magar chahat barkaraar rahi,
Seene mein dard utha,
Magar sabr ka baand nahi tuta,
Dimaag mein uthe hazaaron sawaal,
Toh dil ne sambhal liya,
Aur phir rakt ka ek chota sa katra,
Kaan se beh chala...

Sharaab aur shabaab

Sharaab aur shabaab mein ek gehra naata hai
Sharaab, Shabaab ki vajah se hai,
aur Shabaab, Sharaab ke liye!

Samaa banaa diya

Chand dekha hai,
Falak bhi,
Subah ki oos bhi,
Shaam ke sitaare bhi,
Par sach kehta hun,
Aap ke hi maujudgi ne aaj samaa bana diya!

Lamhe

Yeh lamhe, jitne anmol,
Utne maasoom,
Utne nayaab,
Jaadu kar dete hain,
Yaad na karo toh pashtaava,
Yaad karo toh aankhon mein nami dete hain.

Manch (Stage)

Main khoya tha,
Aapne diya raasta.

Main chup tha,
Shayad himmat nahi thi mujh mein.

Main shaant tha,
Par bolne ki chahat thi.

Mauka tha,
Sahas nahi.

Zanjeerein nahi thi,
Phir bhi bandha tha main.

Taakat thi,
Hausla nahi.

Ab khada hun main,
Himmat hai, Josh hai, Lagan hai, Hausla hai.
Aap hi ne toh ye manch diya hai,
Khushkismat hun ki ye manch mujhe mila hai,
Shukraguzaar hun ki aapne mujhe ye manch diya hai.

Ab...

Tabdil ho gaya hun..

Iss Mahaul,
Iss sama mein,
Kahin khokar, ab khud ko paa liya hai maine.

Mujhe sochna tha,
Par shayad waqt nahi tha,
Kahin waqt dekar, ab waqt paaya hai maine.

Koi tha shayad,
Jiski kami thi,
Kahin paaya tha un logon ko, ab kahin kho na dun unko main.

Jeena bhi ek kala hai,
Nahi jaanta tha main,
Seekhaya hai aapne, ab shayad kabhi na bhul paaunga main.

Khud ko pehchana nahi tha,
Pehchaana hai ab,
Pehchanana ab dusron ko hai, ab pehchaan banani hai mujhe.

Socha tha shaktishaali hun,
Maar khaayi hai bahut,
Maar khakar bhi, ab lamhe banaye hai maine.

Ye saath ye samaa,
Bahut yaad aayega,
Ab sikhna hai iske saath jeena bhi.

Dard wo nahi, ki ab nahi milenge,
Dard wo hai, ki rehkar bhi, ab door rahenge.

Kuch baatein unkahi kar dunga,
Aankhein nam ho rahi hain,
Jaane ka gham shayad ab bardaasht nahi hoga,
Na mil paane ka dukh ab sehan nahi hoga.

Alvida!

Bharosa rakh

Har khushi mein uski,

Apni khushi dhoondhti rahi,

Aur wo apni hi khusi mein mast raha,

Bharosa rakh, usse ehsaas hoga.

Tu usse hi dekhti rahi,

Wo jaata raha,

Tu pukaarti rahi apne dil ki awaaz se,

Bharosa rakh, wo paltega.

Tu roti rahi,

Uske kandhe ke liye,

Wo jaankar bhi anjaan raha,

Bharosa rakh, wo pighlega.

Tu apne kal mein,

Uske kal ki dua maangti rahi,

Uske saath kuch pal ki bandagi chahne lagi,

Bharosa rakh, wo milega.

Bahut mushkil hai ye,

Kishton mein zeher lene ke jaise,

Teri aankhon ki nami batati hai,

Bharosa rakh, barkhat hogi.

Teri khudi buland hai,

Tere aage Khuda bhi jhukega,

Kyunki uska pyaar hai teri milkiyat,

Bharosa rakh, tujhe wo milega.

Hassi

Haseen hai wo hassi,
Jo har gham bhula de,
Zehreeli hai wo hassi,
Jo kisi aur ko rula de.

Mehangaai nahi aayegi tab tak,
Hassi ki koi keemat nahi hai jab tak.

Aate hain bahut se musafir,
Meri khushi ko banakar apna farz,
Hassa gaye, be gharzi wo log,
Chodd gaye mujh par apna ek karz.

Ab raaste mein har kisi ko hasaane ki koshish karta hun,
Shayad yehi zindagi ka falsafa hai.

Shabd

Shabd mere hathyaar hain, jab kabhi akela hota hun,
Kagaz par zindagi ki jung jeet leta hun.

Nishabd zindagi mombatti ki tarah hai,
Hokar bhi, rokar bhi, khatam ho jaati hai.

Maun se darr lagta hai,
Chup rehkar bhi bahut kuch puch leti hai.

Khaffaa

Woh sitam karti gayi,
Main sehta gaya,
Woh mujhe deti rahi nafrat karne ke mazaarat,
Main wafa karta raha,
Wo kya hai, unke andaaz mein hi jaddoo hai,
Unki har galti maaf kar deta hoon,
Unki shaksiat ka aadi hoon,
Unka nasha iss dil se utarta hi nahi,
aur Unse khafa rehne ko dil maanta nahi!

Ahem (Ego)

Patthar nahi utha raha,
Bas apne jhukne ki gehraai naap raha hoon.

Khayaal

Aapki khushi anmol hai, numaaya hai,
Aapki muskaan ke khayaal se hi aabaad hoti hai kisiki zindagi.

Sochte hun jab, aankhon ki zaroorat nahi hoti aajkal,
Bas nadaan ho gaya hoon thoda sa,
Aapki khoobsurati ke khyaal se hi husn ki intehaa ka ehsaas hota hai

Aapka saath toh nahi,
Aapke saath ke khyaal se hi mann bhar aata hai.

Aap bandagi ho, aap saadgi ho,
Aapke khayaal mein sukoon hai.
Aapke khayaal mein ek ummeed hai jeene ki,
Aapke khayaal mein ek zid hai,
Aapke khyaalon ki sanak hai,
Ab toh khayaalon mein bhi aapke khayaalon se raahat nahi.

Ajeeb khel hai ye,
Ek alag khushi ke saath ek tadap deta hai,
Ek aisi tadap jisse rooh tak jal jaaye,
Aur wahin ek aisi khushi ki kaaya ke har hisse mein chain aa jaaye.

Dastoor

Duniya ka dastoor hai,
Faayda uthta hai uska jo majboor hai,
Kismat ko na dosh de,
Uska kya kasoor hai,
Ye toh insaan hai,
Jiski neeyat mein feetoor hai.

Pal

Pal jitney khoobsurat hain,
Utne hi kshanik hain,
Ye anmol hain,
Kyunki alpkalik hain.

Aaye the vyapaarri,
Shayaad raasta bhatak gaye the,
Ya phir maadkataa mein,
dhut ho chuke the.

Pattiyon ke baur aane se jhadh jaane tak,
Bacche ke rone se uske khilkhilane tak,
Os ki woh boondon ke sukh jaane tak,
Maashoq ke ruth jaane se maan jaane tak.

Har pal mein mithaas hai,
Waise hi har pal mein khataas hai,
Par har iss chote antraal mein,
Kuch bahut hi khaas hai.

Toh lapet le apni potli mein,
Dher saare ye anmol pal,
Raasta lamba hai abhi,
Yaad aayenge ye kal.

Funde

Haar mein dhoond ummid,
Jeet mein dhoond tehzeeb,
Mushkilon mein ban labeeb,
Aur kop mein kabu kar jheeb.

Jeet

Zindagi ki pratha hai,
Yogyatam hi aajtak jeeta hai,
Sirf ek hi cheez nischit hai,
Insaan mushkil se hota vikasit hai.
Toh kamzor hone se darr,
Aur jeetne ke liye har cheez kar,
Kyunki mehnat haar jaane ka bahaana hai,
Aur jeetna hi zindagi ki khushi ka phasaana hai.

Mulakaat

Apni yaadon mein ek aur shaam hui,
khushkismat hue toh phir milenge hum kahin,
yaad rakhna iss hasee ke paigaam ko,
aapke bhool jaane ka gham shayad sehan hoga nahin.

In shaamon ki jagah koi shaam nahi hogi,
in jazbaaton ke jagah na honge koi jazbaat,
yun toh milte rahenge hum sab se,
par naa hogi aisi mulakaat.

Celebrity Crush

I know I am stupid,
There’s nothing like a cupid,
Cause if there had been one,
I wouldn’t have been sitting with just a tun.

I know you are out of my scope,
Let’s cut the attention and elope,
Into a far off land where we can be undisturbed,
There can be nothing that will leave us perturbed.

Why do people stop me?,
A question I have been asking myself,
I just know I want to live with you,
Immortal like an elf.

You are my prayer,
I sing to Lord,
For you, my dazzling dream,
I would take the longest yard.

You are like my celebrity crush,
I won’t let you go,
No matter how distant the destination may seem,
You will still remain my magnificent, I know.

I just hope I get the nerve to express,
That I would never love you less,
It’s a difficult one to keep,
But you got to take the leap.

You are the only beautiful thing,
Surrounded by admirers with a ring,
Like the lotus in the marsh,
But this reality, this is harsh,
Cause as impossible as it seems,
At last, I will be left alone with my dreams.

Woh...

Rehguzar mein jab deedar hua,
teri khoobsurati se jaise rashk ho gaya,
allah ka banda main,
allah ka jaise dushman ban gaya.

Noor hai tu ashk ka,
tujhe aakhon mein baithaloon,
Tere gulabi rukhsar ko dekhkar,
Jaise mantramughd ho gaya hun.

Uski qurbat hai tujhse mulakat,
Ab dua hai tera saath.
Pehli baar hai kuch maanga,
Use mananna toh padega,
Warna ye aashiq,
Uss khuda se bhi ladega.

Aur jo ho gayi dua Kabul,
Raahat ki saans tab aayegi,
Iss baghban mein patjhad ko,
Phir hariyaali tab aayegi.
Meri dua uske chahre ki muskaan rahegi,
Uski khushi ke liye meri jaan hamesha haazir rahegi.

Deedaar

Aapka deedaar kya hua,
Zehan ki har baat hum bhoolne lage hain,
Bas ab darr iss baat ka hai,
Kahin aapki aadat na ho jaaye...

Kismat

Kismat par bharosa naa kar,
Iske vajood ka bhi koi thikaana nahi hai,
Tasalli dekar dhokha dene ki,
Iski rughbat buri hai.

Worth it...

Sometimes it never ends,
Sometimes it goes on...

Sometimes it’s meant to be,
Its just that we cant see,
Sometimes its hard,
But you got to stay on the card,
You got to try,
Even if it makes you cry,
It wont be very simple,
It has never been...

But someday, you will realise,
Only in the hottest lava, the lord of the rings was made,
Only in the toughest conditions Bruce Wayne was trained,
Only after the best of efforts, the da vinci code was cracked,
Only when Neo believed in himself, could the Matrix be hacked,
It will all make sense someday,
Just don’t wish that day to be today,
I promise, you will be treated like a hime,
Just survive this test of time,
Till then let the moments to your jigsaw fit,
Cause when it happens, it will definitely be worth it.

Janamdin

Tumhare raaste ke pathar rui ban jaye,
Tumhara hi naam sune jahan hum jaaye,
Tumko ho na khushi kabhi kam,
Tumko mile kabhi na koi gum,
Tum pe aane wali har musibat se hum lad jaaye,
Tumhari zindagi iss avsar par 100 saal aur badh jaaye!

Azmat

Khwaish ek lat hai,
Iski nahi koi had hai.
Ekktak dekh nateeje ko,
Jaise wahi sabse numaaya ho.

Par raaste ki bhi jaan ahmiat,
Yehi hamesha rahegi teri milkiyat.
Jo raasta ho accha,
Toh muqaddar hai pakka.

Shikhar ho lakshya par,
Aur josh ko na vyay kar,
Paahad se vaadiyon ko dekh,
Apni safalta se aankhon ko sek,
Udte panchiyon ko soch dekhkar,
Parvat ki choti nahi sabse upar,
Kuch aur hai jahaan udaan bharna baaki hai,
Abhi toh tujhe banna pakhi hai.

Tapti dhoop jo chamdi jala de,
Aur kahin bhi jal ki boond dikhai na de,
Abhi toh uski garam teh par chalna baaki hai,
Abhi toh ise malmal karaar karna baaki hai.

Rukna nahi hai ab toh,
Thamna nahi hai ab toh,
Manzil dikhi thi abhi kahin,
Thehrna hai ab toh bas wahin.

Phir chalenge maikaide par,
Jashn manaayenge maikaashi ban kar,
Ab iss vijay ka gaurav baatna hai baaki se,
Ab toh azmat ka jaam peena hai saaki se...

Tabdili

Sochta hun, wo din,
Jab khilone Paise se jyada pyaare lagte the,
Tab mann saaf tha,
Tab maasumiyat thi.
Sochta hun, wo din,
lagte dardnaak the,
Par bilkul naayaab the,
Mann se kabhi chinta ke baadal nahi gaye,
Phir bhi ek naya zauq de gaye,
Par aaj unki qeemat ka ehsaas hua hai,
Aaj unki phir se chaahat hui hai.
Sochta hun, ye din,
Khushi bhautikvaadi mein nahi,
Shaanti manzil mein nahi,
Nishith mein chinta se jaag jaata hun,
Itna sab hokar bhi kuch aur chahta hun,
Ye mann mein chal kapat hai,
Iski shaitaaniyat se darr hai,
Nazraana hai jo ek palaash ka,
Wahi qaabil-e-qadar maqsad hai iss talaash ka,
Jo wo cheez mil jaayegi,
Meri zindagi ki wajah samajh aayegi...

Alahaidgi

Nami na reh jaaye un palkon par,
Jab hum apne aashiyaan bana rahe ho,
Haar na jaaye hum unko,
Jab jahaan ko hara rahe ho.

Hum

Log kehte hain, tumhara saath mushkil hai,
Magar manzoor nahi karta ye dil hai,
Log kehte hain, hum dono ek dusre ke liye nahin,
Samajh nahi pata ki kyun hai wo sahi,
Wo kehti hai, main sirf ek dost hun,
Kya hai kami mujh mein ye sochta hun,
Sab kehte hain ki ek ladki bani hai mere liye kahin,
Lagti hai phir kyun bas wahi sahi,
Haalaat kehte hain bhool jaa,
Par kaise dun khud ko ye sazaa,
Qudrat ke mansoobe mein nahi hamari kahaani,
Par mujhe hai apni alag kismat banani,
Maine khwaab dekha hai,
Alag hi ek duniya hai,
Meri taraf haalat bhi,
Meri taraf wo log bhi,
Meri taraf ye qudrat bhi,
Aur meri taraf hai wo bhi,
Darwaze ke uss taraf hai duniya ek siran,
Adhkhule uss darwaaze se aa rahi hai ek kiran,
Par usse izhaar karna mere bass mein nahi,
Iss khatre ki keemat chukane ki haisiyat nahi,
Bhale hi mil jayegi zindagi agar haan kar de,
Par naa kar de, toh zindagi na nikal jaye kahin,
Wo aakash ki pari, main zameen ka runk,
Bandagi hai ki mil jaaye mujhe pankh,
Do pal uske saath udjaun kahin,
Khushi se mar jaaun phir main wahin,
Kyunki wahi mere dil aur dimaag mein hai,
Wahi mere andheron ka chiraag bhi hai,
Uska naam meri ruh par chap gaya hai,
Ab sakoon bas uske saath mein hai..

Paheli

Paheli ki ahmiat uski uljhan mein hai,
Jo anjaam mila, dilchaspi khatam!

Befikra

Befikrane ka bhi vyaktitva hai,
Jeene ka maksad hai ye,
Bandagi jo maslon se raahat ke liye maange,
Isse behtar toh qafir bankar jee lete.

Khudi

Khud par bharosa kar,
Nahi hai koi parmindar,
Jo tera muqaddar tu banale,
Toh tu hi hai uska sikandar.
Tu jo pasand kar le,
Wahi raasta tera hai,
Tu jo galti kare toh raat,
Tu jab ehsaas kare wahi savera hai.
Teri galtiyan, tera kasoor,
Teri rooh ke hisse hain,
Teri tamgha teri kaamyaabi,
Teri zindagi ke kisse hain.
Tu jo soche,
Toh soch ki keemat badh jaaye,
Tu jo hase,
Toh khushi bhi khilkhilaye.
Tera gussa, tera guroor,
Teri awaaz, tera suroor.
Tu jo thaan le,
Toh sab hai aasaan,
Tu hi hai apni kismat ka daata,
Tu hi hai apna bhagwaan.

Tanhai

Pyaale mein mashroob tha,
Isliye kyunki zindagi hi thi na tamaam shaayad,
Besaakhte saaki ne banaya umda jaam,
Phir bhi tanhai ka nasha jyada ghaleez tha shaayad.

Mauji

Wo hasta raha, wo hasaata raha,
Saathi wo muskaan ke sailaab ka,
Nami thi uski kasrat mein,
Bas wahi nazarandaaz kar gaye.

Manzil

Imtiaz tha raasta,
Manzil faasley par,
Jab mukammal hua maksad,
Tabhi maghz mein itminaan aaya.

Unkahi

Unkahi wo baat laphzon par aakar ruk gayi,
Jab yaar ke sabaab ka khayaal aaya...

Mosiqi

Mosiqi ek nasha hai,
Mosiqi zinda rehne ka zariya,
Mosiqi ki ainak se dekho toh aman hai,
Warna yeh duniya aag ka dariya.
Main aisa nahi kehta ki mosiqi sholon se bachayega,
Par ye tumhe koylon ki chaadar par nachayega,
Teh par chalkar jo dard hoga tumhe,
Chalte waqt us takleef se tawaja hatayega.

Subah

Wo suhani subah mein jab,
Parindon ka sur naseeb hua,
Thandi behti hawa ka ehsaas hua,
Sooraj ki paydaaish ka deedaar hua,
Zindagi ka jaise hayat tazaa hua,
Dhoop ki garmi jab shareer ko chui,
Jaise murde par jaan ki rehmat hui,
Iss nayaab pal ka bazaar nahi,
Iski keemat adaa karna mumkin nahi...

Kuch Mukhtalif

Adeeb musanif toh nahi,
par baithe baithe kuch mukhtalif karna tha,

kaagaz par anjaam dene chale.
