अब तो

 Aadat si ho gayee hai tumhari ab to

Tassavur se bhi khushnuma hai zindagi ab to

Poori ho gayee jaise saari khwaishe meri

Sirf tumpe Fannaa hone ko Jee rahe hain ab to

 

Mil gayee mujhe meri zehnaseeb ab to

Darr nahi kisi ruswai ki ab to

Bas itni si hai rab se Iltija

Chook na ho koi humse ab to

 

Rehnuma ban chuke ho mere tum ab to

Waqif hai meri dhadkan bhi tumse ab to

Gunjaish nahi hai bewafai ki

Kyun ki Rooh meri bheeg gayee hai tumhare isq me ab to

 

Silwaten naa aane doon tumhare maathe pe ab to

Saahej raha hoon zindagi humari ab to

Ranzishen naa honge hum me

Khud ko tumhe saunp raha hoon ab to

 

 

 

For Themselves They fend

Who was building your house when you came to book?

Who grows the food that in your kitchen you cook?

Who lays the roads on which you drive?

Who mops the floor when you spill your kive?

Who sweeps the streets when you are asleep?

Who scavenges the sewers bleak?

Have you ever spared a thought for them?

Who have mined all the precious gem

What food they eat, what water they drink?

Those who have patched all your chink

Call them if you would a drudge

Won’t survive if they hold a grudge

Toil hard they day and night

As if holding on to a straw in a storm with all their might

Highbrows turning a blind eye to their plight

Their companions being Hunger, Adversity and Death

They have been wronged yet still have faith

Every affliction they have to fend

Oh Providence, please make it end.

MOM

it was you who made me see light
you only know my true might
you are the only one who cares
you feel pain when i am in snares
for you i am the best on earth
you love me inspite of all dearth
your lap is the best place to hide
mom you are always my best guide.....

holding your fingers walking i learnt
a toothless smile was all that you want
whenever i was afraid ran into your arms
you always solved all of my qualms
did you all that would make me happy
even all my truants couldnt make you grumpy
if there's a storm raging outside
mom you are always my safest place to hide...

how can i forget those days when i were ill
stayed you up all night to give me the pill
you gave confidence to match up in a strife
you were always there when all threw a gibe
taught you how to behave with people
you made me imbibe think high but live simple
need someone and you were always there
mom without you in this world i am nowhere....

try i will to be what you want me to
mom i can just say i love you too
cant return all that you did
but would promise never to be sordid
a day you will be proud
as i promise to be distinguished in a crowd
no one would ever match your sacrifice
mom i want you to know
you are the best person of my life....

AN APOLOGY

for all the people i have erred

be it boy or be it girl

for all the people i have scorned

be you close or be you far

wanted say i need you all

as for hate this life's too small

you might have made me always laugh

helped me if my mood was warp

enjoyed times that i couldnt have alone

commented on stuffs i shouldnt have done....

laughed at people who were in pain

bullied people who had been chained

hated people for being better than me

maliced people for living in glee

underestimated people for they were introvert

was prejudiced in giving opinion

these have been my character flaws

but i hope these can be pardoned in the friendhship laws....

time has come i admit my mistake

give you all what i did take

m really sorry for any wrongs i did

please forgive me friends for i need it....

in those dreams

we live the life from a king's sight
getting drunk on every night
with none to savor or none gainsay
we are the one who decide the day
castles made of real choclate
food served on diamond plate
fullfillment of every command
with none there to reprimand
lovely people without a con
dancing round in the garden of Eden
every being on this earth
beholds creation with a mirth
here every move is an anecdote
touch for every wound is an antidote
people's hearts never are broken
the loved ones are never sullen
happiness blows with every breeze
none happens for brows to crease
everything be always abundant
never anyone play truant
nothing here happens sod
for in those dreams we are GOD.........

life isnt always a comedy
parts of it are coated with elegy
love and pain go hand in hand
all hassles dont vanish with wave of wand
courage takes a back seat
as treason earns the day's meat
beauty belongs to the beast
gullibles served on table as feast
death the eternal separation
some bungles have no redemption
reality is always harder to accept
for in those dreams we are the best.....

we make, we break, we give, we take
we love, we hate, we dance, we date
we wake, we sleep, we fag, we fake
for in those dreams we really are awake.....

ye pal

pal mile hain ye jo pal
dil main inhe sanjoe le jayenge
honge hum kal kaheen viraanon mai
yahi pal yaadein ban jayenge

zindagi ke ye khushbu bhare pal
waapas shaayad mil hume na paayenge
kho jaayen jab ye kafila sailaabon mai
yahi pal saahil ban jayenge

masti bhare ye pyaare pal
jeena hume sikha chale jayenge
bane kabhie afsana hum yaaron ka
to yahi pal lafz ban jayenge

naye raaston mai naye humsafar
shaayad mil hume jayenge
paar yaaron ke sang guzara har ek pal
muskurahaat labon pe le aayenge......

keh na sakun

keh na sakun kaise ye pal zindagi badal dete hain
rishton ki gehraai ko andar tak tatol jaate hain
bade kifayaati seekh hume de jaate hain
kaise kahun kitna kuch ye pal hume samjha jaate hain

keh na sakun kaisi saachai ye pal dikha dete hain
paaon ke tale zameen maano hila jaate hain
khud pe hota hai jo gurur uski asliyat bayan kar jaate hain
kaise kahun kitna kuch ye pal hume sikha jaate hain

keh na sakun kaise sailaab wo pal dil mai umda dete hain
puri manahsthithi ko jhakjhod ke rakh jaate hain
apni takalluf ko nazarandaaz na karne ki baat seekha jaate hain
kaise kahun kitna kuch ye pal hume ehsaas kara jaate hain

keh na sakun kaise ye pal asli aukat bata dete hain
saar pe chaadhyaye rishton ka khoklapan bayan kar jaate hain
rishton mai kitni gehraai hai wo bhi dikha jaate hain
kaise kahun kitna kuch ye pal hume baata jaate hain

keh na sakun kitna dard ye pal hume de jaate hain
par khud ko badalne ka mauka bhi de jaate hain
bahut ankahee baatein ye pal bayan kar jaate hain
kaise kahun kitna kuch ye pal hume dikha jaate hain
