बूंदें.. जो दो हैं तेरी पलकों पे.. बिछी हों जैसे  रेशम  पे.. मोतियों में बदल गयीं ।
आसमां.. खुला है अब अरसे से.. बरसे अब बरसे रे.. किसी की अब रोक नहीं ।।


पानियों में घुल्के जैसे..
रंग छलके छलके  ऐसे..
पत्थरों में जीवन मिल गए ।


बूंदें.. जो दो हैं तेरी पलकों पे.. बिछी हों जैसे  नीली  छत  पे.. तारों में बदल गयीं ।
आसमां.. खुला है अब अरसे से.. बरसे अब बरसे रे.. किसी की अब रोक नहीं ।।


होठों पे तेरे लाली उसपे..
खुशीयों की प्याली ऐसे..
बारिशों में गुल खिल गए ।


बूंदें.. जो दो हैं तेरी पलकों पे.. बिछी हों जैसे मरमर  पे.. रौशनी  में बदल गयीं ।
आसमां.. खुला है अब अरसे से.. बरसे अब बरसे रे.. किसी की अब रोक नहीं ।।

Fear supresses love

न आज तू मुझसे डर इतना
इतना की यह दुनिया प्यार को भूल जाए


देखे जो मुझे, पूछे जो मुझे ज़माना
ज़माना भी यह सुनके मुझसे रूठ जाए


कैसे कोई कहे शब्द-ए-इकरार
इकरार तोह डर में कहीं खो जाए


आँखों में भरा रहे सिर्फ डर
डर यह के मेरा दिल कहीं न टूट जाए


मेरा मन है जैसे एक नादान बच्चा
बच्चा जो पल भर भी प्यार को अगर तरस जाए


पलकें उसकी न रोक पाएंगी वोह बूँदें
बूँदें जिनमें इंतज़ार बरस जाए


भुला दे हर वोह बात जिसमें
जिसमें डर तुझे समा जाए


डर हो तोह सिर्फ खुदा से हो
हो अगर मुझसे तोह वोह प्यार में बदल जाए!!

the smile that is you..

In this land of indefinite setbacks..
If there would be any definite racks..

Where I can safely park my shoes..
And not get distracted by negative woos..

Then they would only exist during the first light's dew..
Or when I see, the smile that is you..!

In this northern snow that is a melter..
If there would be any definite shelter..

Where I can safely stand so dry..
And not get a single reason to cry..

Then it would only exist when the sun comes through..
Or when I see, the smile that is you..!

this world means nothing to me..

like this sky, that the falling stars have made empty
like this tide in the sea, that the sand doesn't set free

like this summer heat, that the monsoon shower arrives to let flee
like this sun, that the clouds hide from you to see

like this pain, that my heart feels when you don't agree
this world, baby when you don't smile, means nothing to me

but the stars know, they only have the sky where they can be
and the sand too, can never let the tide go carefree

the monsoon knows, that heat alone can destroy it terribly
even the clouds believe, it is the sun you will in the end see

my heart knows, that it is you who has become its only landlady
and baby, you know too that no one else but me, can keep you as happy

chal chalein..

Chal chalein us baag mein jahaan..
sitaphal ka ped ho..


Chal chalein us raah pe jahaan..
geeli mitti ki shade ho..


Chal chalein us gali mein jahaan..
dosti na kabhi fade ho..


Chal chalein us chhat pe jahaan..
baarish halki si spayed ho..!

you live because..

You love because you weep,
and you weep because you hurt..


You hurt because you fail,
and you fail because you try..


You try because you need,
and you need because you want..


You want because you feel,
and you feel because you live..


You live because you love,
and you love because you weep..!

the way to make you smile..

Unable to sleep under this lonely sky,
This guilty feeling is making me cry!

I failed today by many a mile,
For I could not find the way, the way to make you smile!

I have to reach you, no matter what is the street,
Nothing can stop me, be it rain, snow or heat!

Whenever you are sad, my heart doesn't beat for a while,
So I need to find the way, the way to make you smile!

You know you mean everything to me,
To your feet, I surrender myself on one knee!

You have the strength, to make roses blossom even in the Nile,
I guess roses are the way, the way to make you smile!
