TUMHE PAANE KE BAAD

abtak to jaise veeraan andhere the yahan
Zindagiko dekha maine tumhe paane ke baad

bahaare to bus ek dastoor si ho gayee thi
gulo ke rangko dekha maine tumhe paane ke baad

teri akho ke roshan aaineme
mere aksko dekha maine tumhe paane ke baad

yunto pehelebhi hua karta tha phulo ka deedar
unki khushbu ko mehesoos kiya maine tumhe paane ke baad

tumhe paake bhi kuchh kamisi rehe gayee hai shayad
aarzoo ab bhi hai tumhe paaneki tumhe paane ke baad

abtak to jaise veeraan andhere the yahan
Jindagiko dekha maine tumhe paane ke baad

Issence :

After u have come in my life,
i have seen life,
i have seen colors of flowers,
my reflection in ur eyes,
fragrance of flowers.
After getting u also,i still want something,
i still have a wish to get u.

STRANGE FACE

A face, somewhat familiar,
somewhat strange,
moves in the crowd,
my eyes follow the path,
on which this face moves.
People pouring in from every corner,
cannot affect the aura,
of this beautiful face.

This familiarly strange face,
gives rise
to many hopes, dreams & memories,
which although new, seem
as if, they were there
all through, my life,
just waiting for the right moment,
to explode through the surface,
making everything come alive
with joy and happiness.

This moment brought about
by this glowing face, seems
to have ended all the worries,
stopped all pains of my world,
picked up the thorns from my way,
this face looks as though
has stopped all processes going on,
and the time has also ceased,
to exist.
This face making all other things
seem obscure, turning those things
into oblivion, resembles that
beautiful sunset,
inspiring everyone with its
golden glow.

KYA AISA BHI HO SAKTA HAI

Kya aisa bhi ho sakta hai
Ki tum khud hi
Kabhi kisi nirwaat mein se
Ya kisi shoonya mein se
nikal kar
Mere saamne aa kar khadi ho jao
Aur mera haath pakad kar
mujh se kaho
"Chalo,thodi door saath chale..........."
Mein aashcharya(achambhe) se tumhari taraf dekhoon
Aur tum had-bada kar kaho
"Bas agle mod tak"
Aur hum-tum
haatho mein haath thaame
vaastav mein saath-saath chalne lage!!

Aur kya aisa bhi ho sakta hai ki
Agla mod aane par
Mein saham kar.........
tumhari taraf dekhoon.............
Aur tum meri aankhon mein jhaank kar.............
Mujhse kaho...........
"Bas agle mod tak............."
Aur hum-tum waise hi
haathon mein haath thaame
chalne lage.................

Aur kya aisa bhi ho sakta hai ki
Agla mod aane par tum meri aankho mein jhaanko zaroor
Par munh se kaho kuch nahi
Aur mein samajh jaaun
Ki tumhari aankho ne kya kaha
"Bus agle mod tak"
Aur hum fir chalne lage............
haathon mein haath thaame..............
na jaane kahaan ko.............

Aur kya aisa bhi ho sakta hai ki
Aise hi
mod par mod guzarte chale jaaye
Aur humme
kisi bhi mod par
Ek-doosre se
kuch kehane ki zaroorat bhi na pade
Aankhon se bhi nahi
Tum aur mein...........
mein aur tum..........
aise hi.............
haath thaame chalte jaaye.............
Mod-par-mod guzarte chale jaaye............. Hum aise hi............
bekhudi mein..............
badhte chale jaaye................
kisi khwaab ki or ............

Aur kya aisa bhi ho sakta hai ki..............
Ek mod aisa bhi aaye...........
Jahaan yeh dharti aage ki aur khatam ho jaaye............
Aur mein ghabra kar...........tumhari aur dekhoon........
Aur tum..........meri aankhon mein dekh kar kaho.............
"Chalo,ud chale..........."

Aur tum aur mein
haathon mein haath thaame
vaastav mein udne lage
.......Is anant aakash mein...........
Kshitij ki aur.............
Sada ke liye..............

Issence :

Is it possible that u come out in existence
from 0 and then ask me to go hand in hand with u,
till the next corner,
and then again the next corner,
in this way,we keep walking together,
towards one unknown dream,and at one corner,
when there is nothing ahead,
u will say to me,lets fly now,
and we fly together away from everything,
towards the horizon,forever.tell me is it possible?

INANITY OF LOVE

Tera wajood to mere har jajbaat mai hoga
Dil mai tere khayalo ka darbaar hoga

Bahot mushkile hoti hai ishq ki raah mai
Shab-e-barsaat ,mere bulane pe,tumhe bhi aana hoga

Abhi to agaaz kahaani ki,yeh haal dil ka
Imtihaan ke naam pe,khuda ne bhi kya kya likha hoga

Kaato bhari raahe,par dilo mai hai gulshan
Chirago ko jalna hoga,hatho mai jab hath hoga

Abhi aur bahot door jana hai,sath chalna hai
Kadam rakhogee tum janha,wahi mera sijda hoga

Hath rakhke dil pe,naam likha hai tera jisht pe
Tu hai janha,wohi ab is dariya ka kinara hoga

Har ummeed tum ho,har rahgujar par tumhara naam
Chalunga kahin se bhi,tumhari jaanib hi aana hoga

Tera wajood to mere har jajbaat mai hoga
Dil mai tere khayalo ka darbaar hoga

Translation :

Ur existence will be there in my every feeling
In my heart,there will be a great gathering of ur thoughts

There r lots of problems in the path of love
But,in the night of rain,u will have to come,when i call u

This is just the start of the story,and my heart feeling in this way
In the name of tests,god must have written so many things for us

Paths full of thorns,but in hearts there r gardens
The lamps will have to lit,when ur hand will be in my hand

Still we have to go far away,walk together
Wherever u keep ur feet,u step,i will bow there(on ur footprints)

Keeping hand on the heart,i have written ur name on my life
No matter from where I start,i will have to come towards u

Ur existence will be there in my every feeling
In my heart,there will be a great gathering of ur thoughts

KAAL HOTE SARVA KAHI

Kaal hote sarva kaahi....
Aaj zalo mee reeta.....
Kaal hoti sarva nati....
Aaj zalo porka....

Kaal yethe bahar hoti....
Baag hoti aangani.....
Aaj sare shushka zale....
Swas maza korda....
Kaal hote sarva kaahi.....

Kaal mazi sawali....
Mazya saveti yayachi....
Aaj ti hi zalhi paraki....
Meech maza parkha....

Kaal hote sarva kaahi...
Aaj zalo mee reeta....

Translation :

Yesterday,everything was there
Today,I am left empty
Yesterday,all relations were there
Today,I am alone(No one is for me)

Yesterday,there was spring
There was a garden in front of my house
Today everything is dry and barren
and my breaths too r dry.

Yesterday,my shadow
was always with me
Today she too has become stranger
I am stranger for myself

Yesterday,everything was there
Today,I am left empty

JEB MEIN KUCH NAHIN HAI

Ek baar ek premi ,
Apni roop se lath path ,
Make up se sani hui ,
Nazuk phoolo ke ,
Danthalon se bani hui ,
Premika se bola ,

Puraane shahar ki ,
Puraani gali main ,
Puraana sa ek ,
Darwaza laga hai ,
Jahan chhat tapakti hai
Barsaat bhar ,
Mera ghar wahin hai ,

Premika door hatate hue boli ,
Pehle kyon nahin bataya ki ,
Resham ki kameez ,
Jeb mein kuch nahin hai .

Issence :

Once a lover told his beautiful beloved,

In the old city,
in the old suburb,
there is a old door,
where the roof is leaking
(the water is oozing inside)
throughout the days of rain,
it is where my house lies.

The beloved one replied,
why didn't u tell me earlier,
that
shirt of silk
but nothing in the pocket.

A NON LOVE SONNET

Spend your time in the beauty of their hearts
trying to clense and free your tainted soul
Only to feel this strong addiction start
And the raging fires begin to flow.
As you're intoxicated with the wine,
The drug drowns out all your make-believe sins.
When love is lost and you are all you find,
Now, again, your fantasized sins begin.
There comes a time, a new dawning hour,
When we all must see what we have become.
You alone dictate your sin, that's your power.
When the time comes, will you accept or run?
To live in their love denys you what's true.
What evokes their love...Is that truely you?

KUCH SHER

In chataki hui deewaro ko
Aashiyana mat samajho
kuchh khali botalon ,toote huye paimane hain
ab ise maikhana mat samajho
mere dil me bahut dard hai duniya ke liye
khuda ke liye mujhe deewana mat samajho

Issence :

Dont misunderstand these walls as a house,
these empty bottles,
and broken glasses,
dont misunderstand this as maikhana(beerbar haha),
I have the pain for this world(by seeing the sorrows),
for god's sake,dont misunderstand me as a crazy person in love.

chaahat teri chah kar bhi kar nahi paya,
un raaho se fir gujar nahin paya
jab jab kisi mehfil me teri baat uthi,
mai wahan thahar nahi paya

Issence :

Couldn't keep u liking,
though I would have liked it,
on those roads,I couldn't walk again
Whenever,in any party,gathering or get-together,
ur topic came,I couldn't stop there.

EK GHAZAL

hai talaash-e-hamsafar, jo mutmaein hoti nahi
Uspe aalam -e- justzoo, jo mujhmein kam hoti nahi

Is kadar bedil hue hum mausamo ke mizaz se
angare ab jalte nahi , aur sard tam hoti nahi

mauhoom si partab koi ghar kar gaya hai wajood mai
chalti hai mere saath par meri humkadam hoti nahi

Ab saase bhi ek karz hai , jise kar raha hoon ada fakat
har saans hai ye zindagi , fir bhi aham hoti nahi

mere kadam-e-natwaan mein kuch to hai umeed-e-wasl
chalte rahenge jab talak sar jaan - o - dam hoti nahin

Issence :

My search for her,though is not complete,
The hope of getting her,never ends.
I dont care for these seasons.
One shadow has come in my existence,
its with me,but never walks with me.
I am just breathing for the sake of it.
In my tired ,weak feet,still
there is a hope of union with her,
I will keep walking till I dont die.

ABHILASHA

Khwaabo ki duniya mein,
Dil ke basere mein,
Judai ki aag mein,
Milan ka savera.
Iss jivan ki hod mein,
Priyatama ki khoj mein,
Sapno ka hai mela.
Atript aakankshao ki aalok mein,
Godhooli hai bela.

kshan kshan par kshanik sukh ka ehsaas karati,
Dil ki taar ko taar taar karti,
Kaya ko wiraan karti,
Priyatama ki us jyot ki,
Dreamgirl ke us khoj ki,
Aajeevan karoonga mai abhilasha.

Issence :

In the world of my dreams,
I have a dream of her,
I am incomplete,unsatisfied without her.
I will keep this eager desire
forever of getting the flame of my beloved.

TERE KHAYAALON MEIN

Tere husn ko bayan kar pau lafzo mein.....
shayad ye mumkin nahi....
kalam to le liya hai haatho mein ....
par iske liye ek janam kaafi nahi.....

Ek nazar mein bekabu kar de , itne kashish inmein....
bas mohabbat hi mohabbat ,nahin koi ranjish inmein....
zindagi ke kitne sawaalon ke massom jawab inmein....
zikra karon kya aur in nighaho ka.... meri to zindagi inmein...

Ya baate karo in lehrate kaali zulfon ki...
ya in shabnami hoto pe ek nagma likhoo...
itne saare pehlu tere husn ke ...mein kya kya likhoo...
tu jo keh de ek baar , tere husn pe mein apni har saans likhoo...

par inse bhi anmol , aye husn ki pari , dil hai tera.
is dil se shayad hi aur haseen .... koi ang hai tera....
par ye amaant hai meri, ise lauta de mujhe ... itni si guzarish hai....
vaada hai is deewane ka..har dhadkan mein bhar doonga mein mohhabbat apni...!

Issence :

I can't describe your beauty.
I just see love,
answers of all my questions of life in ur eyes.
Should I talk about ur hair or
should I write a song on ur lips,
There r so many things in ur beauty,
I can't write on them.
But ur heart is above all of these things.
Just give me this heart,
its so precious for me and this is my promise,
I will fill every heartbeat of this heart with my love.
