Pareshani si thi

Asqaun ne kal raat ki baatein humse,
Ukni aawaaz jaani-pehchani si thi,
Tha unke mann ki, chechre pe bahein,
Roka mann ne unko bi,
Chehre ko bi,
Un asqaun ke maathe par vi vahi pareshani si thi,

Ashqaun ko rok ke chal pade the masjid ki taraf,
Sajda khuda ka bi kiya, tera bi
Ashq bi bahe be-panah,
Par ab chehre pe raunak roohani si thi,

Tha sajde vale ko yakeen, ki khuda mil jayega,
Aur wayeez ko bi thi jannat ki hasrat,
Jane kaise mil gaya kisi deewane ko rab,
Shehar mein isi baat ki hairani si thi

Ashq=tears
Wayeez=saint

Kabool hai

Aj tak tune jo kaha, mujhe woh ab kabool hai,
Aur jo kehne ko reh gaya, woh sab bi kabool hai,
Haan mujhe aj tujse nikaah,
Kabool hai, kabool hai, kabool hai,

Dol char pal aur mere saath guzaar le,
Kuchh aur pal apne, mujhko tu udhar de,
Fir mujhko teri har raza, kabool hai,
Kabool hai, kabool hai, kabool hai,

Ankhaun se pila, yaan ban j tu saki,
Bas rahe na mujhmein koi hosh baaki,
Is bekhudi mein hua har hadsa, kabool hai,
Kabool hai, kabool hai, kabool hai,

Kuchh bi to nahi raha, Kuchh bi to nahi raha

Sanson mein hava to hai ,
par ragon mein dhode jo,
aisa, kuchh bi to nahi raha,

Bhavnaun se tez badalte hain mukh ke mukhaute,
Yahan ab kisi chehre pe,
Parde sa,
Kuchh bi to nahi raha,

Kuchh bi to nahi raha, Kuchh bi to nahi raha

Uska wada tha ki laut ayega,
waqt-e-qyamat se pehle,
Ab sirf wada hi hai uska mere paas,
Us wade ke ilava, uska mere paas,
Kuchh bi to nahi raha,

Kuchh bi to nahi raha, Kuchh bi to nahi raha

Mila tha jab woh,
Karta tha fizool ki baatein,
Toota sheesha, uspe tooti yaadein,
Ab apna uske paas,
Kuchh bi to nahi raha,

Kuchh bi to nahi raha, Kuchh bi to nahi raha

Kya bataun ki kahan tha ghar mera,
Ab khahandaraun ke siva,
Is shehar mein,
Kuchh bi to nahi raha,

Kuchh bi to nahi raha, Kuchh bi to nahi raha

Yahan ke log milte the bahut garamjoshi se
Ab sard nigahaub ke siva,
yahan kuchh bi to nahi raha,

Kuchh bi to nahi raha, Kuchh bi to nahi raha

Is tarah kaise jiyenge, kab tak jiyenge,
Yahan insano mein ab insaniat sa,
Kuchh bi to nahi raha,

Kuchh bi to nahi raha, Kuchh bi to nahi raha

Tha fakar hamein aple asoolaun,
Apne adarshaun pe,
Par kya ab in adarshaun ko kgayenge,
Kya inhe bech ke kuchh paise mil jayenge?
Ab to jhompri mein bi khane ko,
Kuchh bi to nahi raha,

Kuchh bi to nahi raha, Kuchh bi to nahi raha

Behtar tha ki kutta jeet jata,
Roti ki ladayi,
Ab to kutte se bi roti chheenne mein,
Jeet ka maza,
Kuchh bi to nahi raha,

Kuchh bi to nahi raha, Kuchh bi to nahi raha

Is love a disease??

You surely have got some healing powers,
but what is this disease,
You have healed my loneliness,
But after that, I have never been at ease,

You have shown me colors of life,
but your aura has made me colorblind,
You may have healed my amnesia,
But after that, only your memories criss-cross my mind,

Ok, I have cut down on calories,
But ain't you a bit, too sweet,
You seem that much hot to handle,
That you always give me cold feet

Aj na ja

This one is in punjabi...

Kithon labhni dobara eh raat aj na ja,
Nahi akhungi dobara, mann meri baat, aj na ja

Aj di raat naseeban jodi,
Jinnie hove lambi uhni thodi,
Aj na mera akha modi,
Na manga taithon, hor main saugaat, aj na ja

Kithon labhni dobara eh raat aj na ja,
Nahi akhungi dobara, mann meri baat, aj na ja

Kal chahe jaake mera naam bhul javin,
Jithe vi mile si, har uh than bhul javin,
Sang-sang kitte si jo gunah bhul javin,
Ik hor gunah karle, aj di jumme-raat, aj na ja

Kithon labhni dobara eh raat aj na ja,
Nahi akhungi dobara, mann meri baat, aj na ja

I am Incomplete

These are some of the tidbits I have written is last some days. None of them has any connection with the other

'But of you, I still feel a bit incomplete,

My eyes and my tears, they always do compete'

'You and me may have been carved differently,

But our carving clay was same,

If you ever consider re-mingling,

Always consider me game'

'The heart remains the same,

but the heartbeats do change,

In front of you,

the beats go out of range,

Even when you leave,

Their pace remain strange'

and this is a funny one

'Get in love with someone and get there fast,

The offers remains only, till the stocks last'

This one is in punjabi. It is in the style, in which Harbhajan Mann sings. Have a look

Maithon keha vi na gaya

Maithon keha vi na gaya
Maithon reha vi na gaya
Dil chandra aj eh shaitaan ho gaya
Aj sab kuchh tere age byaan ho gaya
Aj sab kuchh tere age...

Puniya da chan, nale tutde si taare,
Uhna tarian nu vekh,punn mange si jo saare,
Uhna tarian da tutna parvaan ho gaya
Aj sab kuchh tere age byaan ho gaya
Aj sab kuchh tere age...

Bas sheeshe wich hi dekhan, tere roop da saroor
Vekh mure nashiya na jaavan, mere sahan de huzoor
Aj kadi-mudi naina da ghamasan ho gaya
Aj sab kuchh tere age byaan ho gaya
Aj sab kuchh tere age...

This one is in Hindi...a cute poem, I should add

Khaali Waqtaun ko kuchh is tarah bar liya karo

Khaali Waqtaun ko kuchh is tarah bar liya karo
Kuchh makhmali se palon ko yaad kar liya karo

Yaad kar lo kisi hamkhayal ke saath guzaare pal
Bachpan ke kisi pyaare teacher ki dhundhali si shakal
Alhadpan ka koi pyar aur mann mein halchal
Beetay haseen lamhaun mein bi kabhie basar kar liya karo

Khaali Waqtaun ko kuchh is tarah bar liya karo
Kuchh makhmali se palon ……

Who baat karne mein kisi ajnabi se, sharmana,
Aur kisi ajnabi ko hi sab kuchh bata ana
Woh deewanepan ke nagame sunanaa,
Aur khud ko samajhna deewana
Kabie un bhoole-bisre shahraun ka safar kar liya karo

Khaali Waqtaun ko kuchh is tarah bar liya karo
Kuchh makhmali se palon........

Woh ma ke haath ka khaana, ma ke haath se khana,
Bin wajah roothna, aur yun hi maan jana,
Woh kuchh bi sehat ki chinta ke bagair khana
Un rahon mein kisi rehbar ka saath kar liya karo

Khaali Waqtaun ko kuchh is tarah bar liya karo
Kuchh makhmali se palon.....

(Rehbar = Humrahi)

Some Part Of Myself

Some part of myself has died with you
Some part of myself still resides with you

You held me slave of your emotions,
I am still shaky about my own notions
No, I wont go again for that ride with you
Some part of myself still resides with you
Some part of myself...

I was never myself in those days,but the question remains,
You lied with me, or I lied with you?
Some part of myself still resides with you
Some part of myself...

I have a habbit of forgetting faces
In your case even that habbit has failed
I feel you outside me, and feel myself jailed
Just tell me how many lies you still behold
Were those things tears? when I cried with you
Some part of myself still resides with you
Some part of myself...

My part of story is, I still have something left in heart for you
Those happy moments are my debt for you,
You, however had made it just another love story,
And, never you felt any emotions? or have they sighed with you
Some part of myself has died with you
Some part of myself still resides with you
Some part of myself...

I felt like a virgin being touched for the first time

You must have felt this feeling at least one time...or will be going through it soon.
I think the emotional state at that point of time(you deduce it yourself, about the momemt I am talking about from the poem) should be something like this:

I felt like a virgin being touched for the first time,
I felt like going through my life's prime,
I was uselessly fussy about the whole thing,
It didn't even costed me a dime...

I asked you to hold me and help me,
I asked you to do that one more time,
I never thought two breathes can rhyme ever,
It was the moment when you make me sublime...

It may not be the way things are done,
It is not a way to commit the crime,
But both us liked the way it happened,
There wouln't have been a better time...

I felt like a virgin being touched for the first time
I felt like a virgin being touched for the first time

Now, these are 3 small ones..
First in English:

I think,I feel, I fantasize,
To get you my love, I'll pay any price,
You can be an illusion, but i don't feel that way,
You as a picture,always reside in my eyes

Second in Hindi:

Manta hun tera chehra ajnabi sa hai,
Awaz teri lekin, teri tasveer bana jati hai,
Mere Shaunk ka aitbaar tujhe ho na ho,
Tasveer-e-awaz teri, jaane kyon muskurati hai.

Third in Punjabi:

Eh akhan main nahi kholnian,
Eh sapna main nahi todna,
Aj mahi ban ke rab aya hai suone 'ch,
Kinne dobara sanjog eh jodna

I Think Of You

I don't think I think about you, that much now,
I have found better ways to keep myself happy, anyhow,

I think of you, whenever city has clear blue skies,
I think of you, only when I blink my eyes,
Thinking about you, I always catch myself by surprise,
I think of you, whenever my silence cries,
I think of you...
I think of you...

I think of you, whenever TV shows an ad,
I think of you, whenever I am a bit mad,
Now I think of whatever I had
I know, with you, days wouldn't have been that bad,
I think of you...
I think of you...

I think of you whenever my phone rings,
Also whenever someone comes to chat and dings,
Have you ever thought ow much I think of you,
I think of you, whenever birds flutter their wings,
I think of you...
I think of you...

I am feeling good that this is my 50th post on this blog. So I decided to write my own poem today.The name is 'Rebound'. All of your comments are welcome. It goes like this

I tried to forget everything about you,
I tried to forgive myself for being with you,
But after so many tries, I have just found,
The idea i.e. you, always make a rebound,
The phenomenon i.e. you, always make a rebound.

Now I am rather slow and a bit relaxed,
And I don't wanna rethink about those days,
I am only trying to regain my lost ground,
But the phenomenon i.e. you, always make a rebound.

Still thoughts of those days cross my mind,
That is a tape, I don't wanna rewind,
Everything has been healed, but I still keep a wound,
But the phenomenon i.e. you, always make a rebound.

But now I am telling you the truth,
Whatever it takes,I wanna relive those days,
I again wanna be through that phase,
Can't you and your aura be again all my around,
The phenomenon i.e. you, always make a rebound.

Now I am just killing my time,
Have been through the moments,which I can call my prime,
My heart still misses some beats to hear your sound
Because the phenomenon i.e. you, always make a rebound.
Because the idea i.e. you, always make a rebound.

Looking For You

Looking for you in improbable places
Lokking for your face in unfamiliar faces
Am I just a fool wandering everywhere
Or are you everywhere, though in traces

Heard this song on radio. And I found the lyrics too superior to ignore. So putting them as it is. The song is called 'Rainy days and Mondays'
It is written by Paul Williams and Roger Nichols


Talkin' to myself and feelin' old
Sometimes I'd like to quit
Nothing ever seems to fit
Hangin' around
Nothing to do but frown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.

What I've got they used to call the blues
Nothin' is really wrong
Feelin' like I don't belong
Walkin' around
Some kind of lonely clown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.

Funny but it seems I always wind up here with you
Nice to know somebody loves me
Funny but it seems that it's the only thing to do
Run and find the one who loves me.

What I feel has come and gone before
No need to talk it out
We know what it's all about
Hangin' around
Nothing to do but frown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.

This is the one written by Mirza Ghalib..Yeh na thi hamari kismat ki visaal-e-yaar hota

ये न थी हमारी क़िस्मत कि विसाल-ए-यार होता

ये न थी हमारी क़िस्मत कि विसाल-ए-यार होता
अगर और जीते रहते यही इंतज़ार होता।

तेरे वादे पर जिए हम तो ये जान झूठ जाना
कि खुशी से मर न जाते ग़र ऐतबार होता।

कहूँ किससे मैं कि क्या है शब-ए-ग़म बुरी बला है
मुझे क्या बुरा था मरना अगर एक बार होता।

कोई मेरे दिल से पूछे तेरे तीर-ए-नीमकश को
ये ख़लिश कहाँ से होती जो जिगर के पार होता।

ਦਿਲ ਢੌਲ ਗਿਆ --- ਜਦੋਂ ਯਾਦ ਸਜੱਣ ਦੀ ਆਵੇ
ਜਦੋਂ ਯਾਦ ਸਜੱਣ ਦੀ ਆਵੇ .... ਦਿਲ ਬਿਲਕੇ ਤੇ ਰੂਹ ਕੁਰਲਾਵੇ ....
ਜੂਗ ਜੂਗ ਜੀ ਸਜਣਾ .... ਤੇਰੀ ਦੁਨੀਆ ਅਬਾਦ ਰਵੇ ....
ਜਦੌਂ ਤੇਰੀ ਯਾਦ ਆਵੇ .... ਸਾਨੂ ਕੁੱਝ ਵੀ ਨਾ ਯਾਦ ਰਵੇ ....

ਬੜੇ ਸੱਜਣ ਪੁਲੋਨੇ ਔਖੇ .... ਦੁਖ ਦਿਲ ਚ ਲੁਕੋਨੇ ਔਖੇ ....
ਕਿਦੇ ਕੋਲੇ ਦੂੱਖ ਦਸੀਏ .... ਲਿਖੇ ਭਾਗ ਨਹੀ ਮਿਟਦੇ ....
ਜਖਮ ਤਾਂ ਪਰ ਜਾਂਦੇ .... ਪਰ ਦਾਗ ਨਹੀਂ ਮਿਟਦੇ ....

ਸਾਡੇ ਨਾਲ ਹੋਇਆਂ ਅਨਹੋਇਆਂ .... ਮਨੰ ਮਰਿਆ ਤੇ ਸਦਰਾਂ ਰੌਇਆਂ ....
ਸਾਥੌਂ ਸਾਡਾ ਰੱਬ ਰੁਹਿਆ .... ਪੈਗੀ ਮਾਰ ਗਰੀਬਾਂ ਨੂੰ ....
ਵਸਦੇ ਉਜੱੜ ਗਏ .... ਆਗੀ ਨੀਂਦ ਨਸੀਬਾਂ ਨੂੰ ....

ਅਸੀਂ ਨਾ ਜਿਉਂਦੇ ਨਾ ਮੌਏ .... ਬਸ ਹੁੰਦਿਆਂ ਹਾਂ ਅਨਹੌਏ ....
ਰਗੜਾਂ ਚ ਰੂਲ ਗੇ ਹਾਂ .... ਸਾਡੀ ਲਾਸ਼ ਤਾਂ ਗੱਲ ਜਾਂਦਾ ....
ਸਜੱਣ ਮੁਕਾ ਜਾਂਦੇ .... ਪਰ ਮਾਸ ਤਾਂ ਬੱਚ ਜਾਂਦਾ ....

ਕਦੇਂ ਟਕਰੇਂ ਤਾਂ ਹਾਲ ਸੁਨਾਇਏ .... ਕਿਤੇ ਵਿਛੜੇ ਇ ਨਾ ਮਰ ਜਾਇਏ ....
ਇਕ ਵਾਰੀ ਮਿਲ ਸਜਣਾ .... ਪਾਣੀ ਛਪੜਾਂ ਦਾ ਮੂੱਕ ਜਾਵੇ ....
ਕਿ ਪਤਾ ਜਿੰਦਗੀ ਦਾ .... ਕਿਹੜੇ ਮੌੜ ਤੇ ਰੁਕ ਜਾਵੇ ....

Batalvi's Last Lines

These are the last lines of Batalvi, just feel the pain

Koi aise hawa chala rabba,
Na husn rahe jahaan utte
Koi aj mare koi kal mare
Mela lga rahe shamshaan utte
Aintvaar da din hove
Na lakhran milan dukaan utte
Je milan vi ta hoon gillian
Na aag lage meri jaan utte

Kuchh She'r

Insaan rehena ka haq nahi jinhe,
Is shehar mein woh bagwaan hue jaate hain,
Badi mushkil se basaye the hum gareebon ne garaunde,
Aj wahu phir se makaan hue jaate hain
-----------------------------------

Tha waqt-e-qyamat tujse alvida kehne ka waqt,
Dil ki tab bi chah thi ki mud ke dekh le tu,
Yeh dil bhi kitna nadaan hai,
Nahi janta qaynaat mein qyamat ek hi baar hoti hai
-----------------------------------

Sailab-e-noor hain yeh aankhein tumhaari,
Kaho inko raat chand ke saath yeh bi chamkein,
Haan subah hata lena arsh se inhe,
Warna kahin suraj haya mein hi naa doob jaye
-----------------------------------

Read this one(in Punjabi)

Aa ve mahi tainu naina 'ch vasa ke chal palakan di challaan
Hizran di ag dian, hanjuan de har rahin, dasaan tainu dil dian gallaan,
Aa ve mahi tainu naina 'ch vasa ke....

Sunn pardesia ve, khojia ve bhetia ve, milne da hal koi likhde,
Dinn-raat layin rakhan seene naal soniya ve, eho jihi gal koi likhde
Hokeyaan te hava rahin yadaan de samandaran ch niss dinn urdiyan chhalaan,
Aa ve mahi tainu naina 'ch vasa ke...

Terian umeedan vich sajna main leekan nal bharian umeedan diyan kanda,
Ik vari ake, mur dars dikhade,mur hasiyaan 'ch bhar ja sughandan.
Dil diyan bukallan da nig deva soneya, shahan 'chon suneve tainu ghallaan,
Aa ve mahi tainu naina 'ch vasa ke....
Aa ve mahi tainu naina 'ch vasa ke chal palakan di challaan...
