Kya bat ho..!

Kuch guzarish na ho
Dua me shukriya ada karen
Wo din naseeb ho toh kya bat ho!


Sapno ke tano bano me
Haqeeqat ka dhaaga istemaal karen
Wo raat naseeb ho toh kya bat ho!

Dusron ke geeton ko toh gaaya bohot
Jo mehsus ho use bekhauf bayaan karen
Wo saaz naseeb ho toh kya bat ho!

Guzre palon pe muskaye au' roe kai din
Aane waale palon ka ikhtiyaar ho
Wo andaaz naseeb ho to kya bat ho!

Dua

Gumsum sa hai tu

Pichle kuch dino se

Thak sa gaya hai tu

Rah takte takte

Waqt bhagta say yun lag raha

Nazar kahin bhi aye na

Wo jiski talaash thi

Masoom si ik aas thi

Par theher ja bas ik pal ko sahi

Fir ik dua mang le

Meench ankhen fir ik bar

Kar le bharosa thoda khud par thoda khuda par

Fir ik bar

Yun toh na aage badhta raha

Bewajah besabab

Tinkon ko jodta batorta raha

Yad hai wo kasak

Kuch toh us manzil me bat thi

Tere andar bhi toh ik aag thi

Toh theher ja bas ik pal ko sahi

Fir ik dua mang le

Meench ankhen fir ik bar

Kar le bharosa thoda khud par thoda khuda par

Fir ik bar

Journey and not destination..

Yes I was lost!
But here I found my way.
Can they gauge my relief?
Will they ever be able to believe?
They have set their eyes on destination as they say
But I already see so much on my beautiful way.
I am cherishing the flowers that lay.
The pebbles, the bugs, the dew and the falling sun-ray.
They run I crawl.
They rise ; I fall.
Their eyes are wide open.
I lie down for hours and stall.
They pass by ; they seem high.
They measure the difference.
They compare and sigh.
They want to prove.
They want to show.
They need me to tell themselves,
They won and for applause they try.
I don't need them to scale my victory.
I have found my way.
Reveling in all its mystery.
My joy needs no affirmation.
My existence needs no validation.
