A deep thought

gudiya nayi nayi jab ek bache ke paas hoti hai
Ankho mai chamak, dil mai khushiyo ki potli hoti hai,
duniya saari gudiya ke aas paas ho jati hai,
uska khayal, uski sajawat,
uski pyaari si surat se nazare nahi hatt paati hai,
zindagi ka taana bana us gudiya se jud jata hai,
phir kuch samay mai, uske naye hone ka khayal purana ho jata hai,
Naye naye khilone par jab bache ka dhyaan jata hai,
apni puraani gudiya ka woh kaha dhyaan rakh pata hai,
Pyaar mai uske kami nahi, par zindagu ka nazariya badal jata hai,
waqt ki raftaar ke saath woh aage nikal jata hai,
yeh dekh gudiya ka mann bahut khushi pata hai,
par beete dino ka ehsaas mann mai tees jagata hai,
woh din phir lotenge, ye khwab mann mai dastak de jata hai,
isi aas par har raat uska mann shaant ho so jata hai...

Gratitude

Look into a mother's eyes,
If you want to know the meaning of sacrifice,
these eyes did not sleep for so many nights,
when yuo were suffering from fever.

look at a father's hands,
If you want to know the meaning of passion,
These hands were never tired to hold you up
even after hours of work.

Look at a mother's feet,
If you want to know the meaning of devotion,
These feets never stopped wandering
from mosques to temples, just to pray for you.

Look at a father's skin,
If you want to know the meaning of commitment.
Its been wrinkled,
but what matters is the freshness on your face.

Look into a mother's heart,
If you want to know the meaning of love,
Its been aching with it since you were born.

Look at those eyes once again,
The vision is not clear,
But just a hope that you'll come back.

Look at those hands,
they are empty,
waiting for you to hold them

Look at those feets,
They still long for a touch from you.

Just look at their heart,
Its just beating for you.

Just look at them,
They are just living for you.

Tumhare Liye

Ankhein moonde kone mai,
jab khudko sabse alag karti hu,
khudko khudse jab milati hu,
tujhko hamesha saath paati hu.
Mera gagan, mera saaya hai tu,
mujhme har pal samaya hai tu.
bhagti hui is bheed mai jab rehti hu peeche,
zindagi ki dhoop mai, chalti hu kiye sir neeche,
par uthaati hu jab bhi nazar,
Paati hu tujhko har taraf,
mera gagan, meri chaaya hai tu,
mujhme har pal samaya hai tu.
Ek nayi duniya mai kadam rakh rahi hu,
tere har pal mai samane ki koshish kar rahi hu,
khwabo ki khwaish nahi thhi kabhi zada,
har haqeeqat ko khwab sa bante dekh rahi hu,
mera gagan, meri maaya hai tu,
mujhme har pal samaya hai tu.
Khushiyo ki dastak ka aagaz hai tu,
meri har kalpana, har shabd ki aawaz hai tu.
Raste, manjile, sab paas nazar aati hai,
Jabser mera humsafar hai tu,
Mera gagan, mera saaya hai tu,
mujhme har pal samaya hai tu.

Meri Tanhai

Apne hi ashkon se baarish gagan par karai si hai,

karti hai yaad humsafar ko, kitni naasamajh meri tanhai si hai,

Samet ke rakha tha jin lamho ko,

woh yaade aaj parai si hai.

Sawalo ke jawab hai ki milte nahi,

kitni uljhane mann mai samai si hai.

Bhagti thi jis tanhai se,

Aaj woh hi meri parchai si hai.

kitni shiddat se piroyi thhi khwabo ki yeh mala,

dhaaga woh tuta, to har khwaish bikhar aayi si hai.

palke utha ke jidhar dekhti hu,

har taraf ek ruswai si hai.

beeti hui un yaado ne,

phir dil mai tees jagai si hai.

Aankho ke in sapno ki,

jaise aaj vidai si hai,

Karti hai talash humsafar ko,

kitni naa samajh meri tanhai si hai.
