Woh purani yaadein.....

Woh purani yaadein jo hum peeche chhor aaye' the',

Ab phir taaza hi gaye'.

Jinse' phir kabhi nilne ki umeed hi naa ki thi,

Woh sab iss jagah phir mil gaye'.

Woh khubsoorat ashiane' jahan hum sab mere bachpan beete' the',

Hum sab ke mizaaz mein phir khil gaye'.

Umar hoi gayi hum sab ki magar phir bhi,

Ek dooje ke' badaulat humare' zehen mein woh shararti bachche' phir jaag gaye'.

Jashn-e-azadi ke' iss mubarak mahaul mein

    Jashn-e-azadi ke' iss mubarak mahaul mein,

Kai toote' sapno ko phir sajaane' ki aarzoo rakhte' hain.

Kuch hi mahine' pehle' jaise' tabahi ka koi sehlaab aaya tha,

Hum uss sehlaab ke' zakhm abhi tak bhar rahe' hain.

Kai aziz kitne' be rehami se' humse' chheen liye' gaye'

Iss sadme' se' bahar aane' ki koshish abhi tak kar rahe' hain.

Iss Jashn e azaadi mein koi khaas jashn nahi,

Sirf khud ko sambhaal kar ab chalte' hi rehne' ki kasam khaate' hain.

Ab aage' iska anjaam kya hoga?

Kya hum apne' armaan poore' kar paayeinge'?

Iski fikar hum uss Parvar Digaar ke' hawaale' karte' hain.

Thak gaya main bhi ab.....

Thak gaya main bhi ab inn mushkilon se' muqabala karte' karte',

Kabhi kabhi haar manne' ko jee chahta hai.

Ek-a-ek koi roshni kahin dooor se' mujhe' jaise' koi paigham deti hai,

Koi haseen manzil shayad mera intezaar kar rahi hai

Himmat phir karke' iss kadi dhoop mein chal padta hoon

Mera hosla afzahi jaise' koi chhupkar kar raha hai.

Suna tha kabhi ke' kaanton par chalkar milenge' saaye' bahar ke',

Ab toh inn kaanton se' jaise' mujhe' mohabbat ho gayi hai,

Bahar toh shayad mera intezaar kar raha hai.

Iss soch ne' mujhme' naa jaane' kaisa junoon jagaa diya,

Hoslon ko bujhne' hi naa diya,

Aur mera yakeen uss haseen manzil ko jaise' haasil karne' hi waala hai."

Suddenly, I see a bright light of hope.....

Suddenly, I see a bright light of hope shining not far away,

Someone seems to be pushing me to get going.

Yes, dawn of a new era of hope and prosperity seems round the corner,

Exciting times ahead, so let's get going.

But I am still trying to come to terms with some terrible losses,

Some dear loved ones devoured so mercilessly by this wave,

And I don't have a choice but to get going.

Their fond memories will haunt me forever,

My soul will tremble trying to relive those traumatic moments when they departed,

But then, life is such that I need to get going.

I will seek solace in the thought,

That perhaps their souls are at eternal peace and cheering me from Heaven,

Yes, this will now finally give me the courage to get up and GET GOING.

Bahut ho chuka ab ......

Bahut ho chuka ab fikar aur chinta ka yeh daur,

Aaj inn sab se' dooor hokar kuch aur hi sama banaa raha hoon.

Dil aur dimag par kya kya sitam naa hue',

Yeh toh koi raaz nahi hai,

Aap sab ki tarah main bhi isi haal se' guzara hoon.

Ab toh woh kal jo hum sab ka intezaar kar raha hai,

Woh manzilein jo hum sab ko besabri se' pukar rahi hain,

Unke' ishaaron ko ab samajh raha hoon.

Yeh toh koi aisa daur tha jo hum sab ke' muqaddar mein naa jaane' kab likha tha,

Aana hi tha toh aa hi gaya,

Ab uss naye' daur ko apne' buland hoslon se' aane' ka intezaar kar raha hoon.

Woh humara kal jo aane' hi wala hai,

Woh daur jab hum sab koi ajooba kar dikhayeinge',

Aise' josh mein main aaj ka ek ek pal guzaar raha hoon.

Kya aap sab bhi aise' jazbaat mein aaj doobe' hue' hain?

Iska jawab main dil hi dil mein jaanta hoon

Phir zindagi ki raftaar zor.....

      

      Phir zindagi ki raftaar zor pakad legi, 

      Rozi ki talaash mein kai yahan wahan bhatakne' lageinge'.

Manzilein shayad wahi honge',

Raaste' shayad ab badal jaayeinge'.

Kuch mahine' pehle' jo aarzoo the',

Shayad ab badal jayeinge'.

Aasman ki bulandiyon ko choo lene' ke' sapne' humne' bhi tab dekhe' the',

Ab woh khwaishein kahin kho jaayeinge'.

Jo aziz kisi aur duniya mein hamesha ke' liye' chale' gaye',

Woh yaad toh aate' raheinge'.

Humare' chehron par muskaan kyon naa ho,

Magar dil hi dil mein toh unki yaadon mein hum rote' raheinge'.

Zindagi toh ab tez pakad hi legi,

Fikar hai, kahin hum peeche' toh nahi reh jaayeinge'?

Kabristanon aur shamshanon mein woh bheer.....

Kabristanon aur shamshanon mein woh bheer(crowd) dekh kar naa jaane' kitne rooh kaanp uthe' honge?

Aur naa jaane' kab tak yeh bheer ka silsila chalta rahega?

Iss sawal se' naa jaane' kitne' dil tadap rahe' honge'?

Iss daur ne' toh har ek ko yeh ahsaas dila diya,

Ke shikve' gile' jaise' bekaar cheezon mein hum kyon apne' kimti pal barbaad karte hain?

Jo guzar gaye' unke' liye' toh hum ashk (tears) bahaate' hain,

Magar jo apne' beech hain unse' toh shikva gila karte' rehte' hain.

Hum sab agar iss seekh se' apni apni baaki ki zindagi guzaar lein,

Toh kuch naye' ahsaas zaroor mehsoos honge',

Aur kuch nahi toh khud mein hi hum sab naye' insaan paayeinge'.
