Yaar, te dildaar

Yaar, te dildaar,
Rabb ne ditte hazaar.
Koi kamm nai,
Koi vadd nai,
Koi vakhra nai,
Ek-o-Ek pyaar hai..
O yaar da!

The Book

A few pages stuck together like secrets. 
A few read often and worn out like a pair of fav jeans.
A few pages dirty and messy like a house after party.
A few filled with doodles like the ones on your notebook.
A few wrinkled and crumpled like the contents of my laundry bag.
A lot of blank sheets, and stories to be written.

Ek lehar



साहिल से टकरा, आज फिर लहर टूट गयी
वापिस आयेगी, कसम खाते हुए लौट चली
रोज़ देखता हूँ तकरार यही,
और सुनता हूँ आवाज़ वही
पर आज अचानक यह एहसास हुआ कि,
हौसला, इरादा हो, तो बस ऐसा ही.. तो बस ऐसा ही

for the devnagiri handicapped - 

Sahil se takra, aaj fir lehar toot gayi.
wapis aayegi, kasam khate hue laut chali.
Roz dekhta hoon takrar wahi,
aur sunta hoon awaaz wahi.
Par aaj achanak yeh ehsaas hua ki,
hausla, irada ho, to bass aisa hi.. to bass aisa hi.

Miss you

Miss you..
On a rainy day,
On a lonely night,
On a cold windy evening.

Miss you..
'cause you brighten my life,
'cause you lighten my day,
'cause you warm me up, whenever in sight.

But you know ..
too much of you, I can't handle,
too much of you, and I'll go blind,
too less of you, and I will be.. no more than ashes.

I try ..
to keep my distance,
to take a peek when I can,
to bathe in your warm love once a while.

Everyone has seen..
You turn a little pale,
You frown in anger,
You blush, and that is when I love you the most.

I know..
you will always be there for me,
you are generous, and yet
you can be dangerous.

Oh dear star,
they call you sun,
but they should rather call you Father

passive v/s active

ऐ खुदा के बन्दे, इस दुनिया को देख कर, तू अब रो ना |
माना यह खेल है उसका पर, खड़े हो कर, तू बस देख ना |
तू भी एक किरदार है, किरदार है ऐ खुदा के बन्दे |
राह है तेरी नेकी की, और नेकी तू हर दिल में जगा दे |

इस मोह-माया की नगरी में, उम्मीद है बस तेरी ही,
तेरे कर्म की, तेरे धर्म की, और बस एक मिसाल की |
राह तेरी तकता है आज, हर एक बन्दा वोह,
डरता है इस कहानी, इस माया, के अंत से जो |

बस चला चल, चला चल, ऐ खुदा के बन्दे क्यूंकि,
तेरी मंजिल तो पाक है, और वो यह है नही |


For the devanagari handicapped, here is the english transliteration:

Ae khuda ke bande, iss duniya ko dekh kar tu ab ro naa.
Mana yeh khel hai uska par, khade ho kar tu bass dekh naa.
Tu bhi ek kirdaar hai, kirdaar hai, ae khuda ke bande.
Rah hai teri neki ki, aur neki tu har dil mein jaga de.


Iss moh-maya ki nagari mein, ummeed hai bass teri hi,
tere karm ki, tere dharm ki, aur bass ek misaal ki.
Rah teri takta hai aaj har ek banda woh,
darta hai iss kahani ke, iss maya ke ant se jo.


Bass chala-chal, chala-chal ae khuda ke bande kyunki,
teri manzil to paak hai, aur wo yeh hai nahi.

Let's Do It


Yea, you've had my back and I yours but,
we've been stuck for a while now.
Yea, it is time for me and you to
tear down the wall that we put together.

Let's make a run for it.
Let's head out in the same direction.
Let's get outta here.
Let's go and do what we do best.

You take the left and I'll take the right.
But how about the middle path?
Oh you think we can share?
ummm... I guess, we have to!
So, let's make a run for it.

Let's head out in the same direction.
Let's get outta here.
Let's go and do what we do best.
Let's do it and do it our own way!
