Wo Jenne ki, aur zinda rhne ki zid karta hai
Maang ke zami, parinda rhne ki zid karta hai
Uska bachpana baaki hai kahin shyad
Naadaani bhare khyaal hain wahin shyad
Koi samjhaaye use,
Tu aadmi hai, aasma ki chaah na kar
Bada hoja ab, apni zindagi tabah na kar-
Zindagi ki yahi do chaar mushkilen hain
Kuch manzilon ke raaste hain
Kuch raaste hi manzilen hain
Ek manzil mai bhi hu, ek manzil tu bhi hai
Ek raasta mai bhi hu, ek raasta tu bhi hai
Safar ka musafir, musafir ka safar hai
Man ki manzilon ka ghar hai
Shyad yahi paana hai
Baaki, waqt ko wapas le jaana hai
Zindagi ki yahi do chaar mushkilen hain
Kuch manzilon ke raaste hain
Kuch raaste hi manzilen hain-
Scars so deep, I can only, not cry
So I scribble with a hope, to bleed dry
Tormented strokes and abyss in between
Locked away in a harrowed canvas of blood,
So I can be empty, So I can be serene-
Mera, nazron se sab keh paana hi sahi hai
Mere labon ki,
Tujhe choome ke siva koi aarzoo hi nahi hai
Museebat hai teri zulfon ka ud ke aage aana
Mohabbat hai teri zulfon ka ud ke aage aana
Unhe hataate hue, meri unglio ka tujhe chu jaana
Fir muskuraaye tu, baahon me aaye tu
Sab kho jaaye kahin,
Jab meri saanson me utar jaaye tu-
Use yu taraasha maine, wo beshkeemti sa ho gya
Fir noor-e-nazaare ki numaaish me aur kisi ka ho gya
Patthar aur heere ka fark, itna hi samjha zamaana
Kya dekhenge log sabhi, kya kisi ko bataana-
Sukoon tadpa, jhatpataya
Fir bhi humaari pakad me na aaya
Wo sitam ki dehleezen paar karta gya
Humne to bas muskuraaya
Hosh, haq, haden
Haalaat, himmat, hasratein
Mohabbat talaashne nikle the kabhi
Na jaane kya-kya kho baithe hain-
Kissay kahaaniyan
Waqt ki meharbaaniyan
yahin hain saari nishaaniyan
Musaafir hain apni zindagi ke sabhi
Sab yahin hain
Saare nazaare yahin hain
Sab manzilen, sab kinaare yahin hain
Humaare yahin hain
Aur ye aasmaan bahut khaali hai saahib,
Sab sitaare yahin hain-
A curse, or cost of his thoughts
He's lost, when he thinks,
He looses himself, sinks
So then he clings to distractions
Anxiously hollow abstractions
Superficial shallow satisfactions
He enjoys the pain
All over him, again and again
Until, he goes insane
But,
You can hold his hand
And tell him, it's not the end
Tell him it's not the end-
Khata bhi meri nazron ki rahi
Accha hota,
jo kambakhat tujhe dekhti nahi
Kyoki kaabu me kar leti ho tum,
mere khyaalon ko, sabhi sawaalon ko
Nazren milaao, to jaise thehra hua samandar
(Khyaalon ka samandar)
Nazren jhukaao, to jaise shaam ki lehren
(Unka chhedna, itraana)
Aur muskuraao, to baarish
(Bheeg kar bhi mera bheegte jaana)
Tum samajh bhi jaao, to aafat kam nahi
Khata bhi meri nazron ki rahi
Accha hota,
jo kambakhat tujhe dekhti nahi-
Apne ghar ko pinjra banaaya maine
Fir pinjre ko khoob chamkaaya maine
Aur saansen leta raha ta umr mai
Saans-saans khud ko gavayaa maine-
