Out of Sync

I feel 'out of sync' with the whole universe,
Its' not that everything has been adverse,
I just can't cope with all the contradictions in it,
I can't even complete this damn verse,

Times have been good, easy and gay,
I am waiting now, for a hope-pregnant ray,
I tried to come 'in sync', but all in vain,
No one wants me to come out of this curse,

Life without emotions would have easy,
I would have been god,
Am I talking non-sense,
Or do I demand a second thought
These thoughts criss-cross my mind all the time,
But my reply to this problem has never been terse

I feel 'out of sync' with the whole universe,
I feel 'out of sync' with the whole universe

Tears and Fears

This poem is initially written by one of my elite friends, named Mrityunjay Kumar alias Jay
I found it close to my heart. So presenting it after minor changes

I have been in tears, since years
I tied myself to the ‘Cross’, I have been in fears
Can anybody tell me if I am dreaming
I have been in pain , I have been screaming…

I have been tied to relationships,
I was hanged to many a emotion.
I didn’t stop myself , I went on moving
I always have been in motion….

Tears have been my fate ,darkness my destiny
When I was low, I struggled for the light
But now, I ignore the sun
I pray for the night…

Kuchh She'r (Some small poems)
From today onwards, I will translate into english also, if the poem is in Hindi or Punjabi.

Chand ko bi gunahaun ka razdaan kar diya
(I have let the moon to hear my sins)
Shayad maine ik aur gunah kar diya
(May be that too amount to a sin)
Raukta tha vaiz roz mujh, nasha-khaur ko masjid mein jaane se,
(The saint always stopped me, the drug-addict , from entering the holy place)
Aj main be-nasha tha,aj vaiz ne bulaya mujhe,aj mana maine kar diya
(Today I was not on drugs, the saint asked me to come, but I refused)


Aab-e-hayat to tune munh lagaya,woh sharab ho gaya
(U sipped the holy water, and it became wine)
Jaadu-e-husan tera aaj benakab ho gaya,
(The magic of your beauty today got unveiled)
Mujhko samjhata tha vaiz ke ghulam-e-husn hona theek nahi
(The saint always preached me, not be be a slave of beauty)
Tujhko dekha to woh bi lajawaab ho gaya
(On seeing you, even he was speechless )
Will You Cry

Would you cry, feeling my scent
Would you cry, understanding what I meant
Would you cry, if you go up there
Would you cry in the bed we share
Would you cry, if you feel me in the air
Would you cry, when you are naked and bare
Would you cry, if I come in your dream
Would you cry or utter a scream,
I know you won't ever cry,
So from my side, baby, its' good-bye

Tasveer Teri
Kambtde Hathan taun mere, tut gayi tasveer teri,
Mere apne hi hathaun, lut gayi jageer meri,
Kambtde Hathan taun mere, tut gayi tasveer teri

Tere vaapis partan di har tasalli chuthhi si,
Tere vaade san ret, meri beshak band muthhi si,
Supne 'ch hi kade paja, ghar mere ik vaar feri,
Kambtde Hathan taun mere, tut gayi tasveer teri

Rokdiyan-rokdiyan vi kadam, maykhane mud jande ne,
Yaad teri lehendi nahi, jaam thur jaande ne,
Besabab hi kitte muk javan, chale koi aise haneri,
Kambtde Hathan taun mere, tut gayi tasveer teri

Badshagna di mujhi manji, koi vehre mere sut gaya,
Aya si uh supne 'ch, chandra supna vi tut gaya,
Khud ud gayon laike udan-patola, mainu paa gayon ghuman-gheri
Kambtde Hathan taun mere, tut gayi tasveer teri
Kambtde Hathan taun mere, tut gayi tasveer teri...

Dhola kyon Rusna

This song is sung by Harbhajan Mann..written byBabu Singh Mann. If anyone among you know the third antra, do write back in comment. I can remember only two antras

Bas do din zindagi hor
Dhola kyon Rusna
Ve main mintaan karan hath jod
Dhola kyon Rusna

Bazaar vakendi loyi,
Saanu tain varga na koyi,
Zind jaan sajjan teri hoyi
Dhola kyon Rusna

Bazaar vakende koke
Ki khatya sajan ik hoke,
Ve tu rus ke guzari asan roke
Dhola kyon Rusna
Kuchh naye she'r aur kavitayein

Last some nighs, I have slept of my floor
Many other nights, I have wept of my door
Waiting for you, waiting for your presense,
I have started decaying, I will remain no more
Last some nighs, I have slept of my floor
Many other nights...


If you ask for love, hate and despair,
I have had more than my share,
I want now my life to be a low key affair,
I want now my life to be a low key affair

Now in Hindi/Urdu

Khud se bi kuchh itna chhupaya maine,
Khud se khud ko thaga huya sa paya maine,
Khud ko mujrim, khud ko kazi,khud ko hi vakeel
Aur khud koi hi sajayafta paya maine

Ab tanhayi ka alam yeh ho chala hai,
Mayiat(Maut) pe meri bu bas main hi shareek hoon,
Dafnane ko aya tha koyi, maulavi sa tha,
Kehkar use yeh vapis bhej diya maine,
Ki akela hi theek hoon, ki akela hi theek hoon

Peene ki 'gar main wajah dhoondoon,
Tau shara'b ka meri maza jayega
Tu bina wajah hi pilaye ja saaki,
Tera peelane mein kya jayega

This one is in punjabi.
I will name it "Hanju suk gaye ne"

Lokan nu dikhavan wale hanju suk gaye ne,
Kisnu jake dassan shan di peer, saathi muk gaye ne,

Dukhaan da pitara bas kholna tere hi moorey,
Tulkde dil de vi farolne tere hi moorey,
Mann javein taan karoon main kalolaaan tere hi moorey,
Tere bhaajaun sukh kitte luk gaye ne
Kisnu jake dassan shan di peer, saathi muk gaye ne

Lokan nu dikhavan wale hanju suk gaye ne,
Kisnu jake dassan shan di peer, saathi muk gaye ne

Mapian taun taan pehle hi din ho gayi si door ve,
Yaar vi han vairi hoye, vekh mainu majboor ve,
Bas teri haund da si andaun-andar garoor ve,
Kitab-e-Ishq de varke lagda, tere hathaun fuk gaye ne,
Kisnu jake dassan shan di peer, saathi muk gaye ne,

Lokan nu dikhavan wale hanju suk gaye ne,
Kisnu jake dassan shan di peer, saathi muk gaye ne

Peenga te si jhooldi jawani, zameen te aake dhadaam payi
Kamlepan di mere, charcha, hundi shehar ch sar-e-aam payi,
Tera ki jaunda uh bhaideya, hundi main badnaam payi,
Lagda dukh, gam, dard saare, wehre mere aake thhuk gaye ne
Kisnu jake dassan shan di peer, saathi muk gaye ne,

Lokan nu dikhavan wale hanju suk gaye ne,
Kisnu jake dassan shan di peer, saathi muk gaye ne

Let be it

There are so many days I dont want to forget
and there are so many days I dont want to remember
for every remaining day,some part of u,
always keep on linger...

The best part of you is still with me
everyone else call it a hallucination,
but only I can see

But the strange illusion is more solid than a solid rock,
The reality should remain under the lock

If you can close close your eyes,
close them and see it,
if the world laughs, let be it

Uh Pal
Uh pal vi yaad ne
Uh yaadan vi saath ne
Jad tainu main manaiya si
Te manaun layi ruvaiya si
Jad toot tere layi tode si
Supne tere layi jode si
Yaadan aj vapis pind nu challiyan ne
Jinna nu taur akhan gillian ne

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
