Kuchh youn humaari dosti ka silsila raha,
Reh ke bhi saath-saath ek faasla raha,
Aapki nazdikiyon ka tha maen garajmand sada,
Aap na aashnaa¹ rahey, itna gila raha …
Kuchh youn humaari dosti ka silsila raha.

Hae teri judai, muqaddar main ab mere…
Kyon apni palko ko maen namm karey raha…
Jab saath tha tere, to kabhi kiya nahi,
Tere baad har baat main, kyon zikr tera raha…
Kyon adhura humaari aashiqui ka silsila raha..
Reh ke bhi saath saath ek faasla raha…
Kuchh youn humaari dosti ka silsila raha…

Is do kaudi ki duniya main kyon pyaar ki baatein karte ho,
khud mauka taakte rehte ho aur badnaam dilo ko karte ho….
Is do kaudi ki duniya main kyon ishq ki baatein karte ho….
Is do kaudi ki duniya main kyon pyaar ki baatein karte ho….

Kuchh woh bhi din thhey jab roz kahin, majnu laila laila karta thha,
Apni Soni se milne ko Mahivaal bhi nadiya taera karta tha,
Aaj, na Soni hae na Mahivaal hae, aur na Laila Majnu zinda haen,
Apne anjum¹ main is akaal ko le kar kya hum thoda sharminda haen ???

Haen aankhein meri taras gayi per ek sachcha pyaar ne dekh saka,
Is rang badalti duniya main kyon ek sundar sa rang na dekh saka,
Hum jeevan main har pal kyon, har kshan²se sauda karte haen,
Saude achhey dekhe maene per ek achha rishta na dekh saka….
Haen aankhein meri taras gayi per ek sachcha pyaar ne dekh saka….

Is dauda-bhaagi ke jeevan main kyon Laila se Majnu nahi milta,
Itni shiddat se ki mehnat per har Mahival Soni se nahi milta,
Hum roz takraate hazaaro logon se, per manmeet kisi ko nahi milta,
Is dauda-bhaagi ke jeevan main kyon Laila se Majnu nahi milta….

Is do kaudi ki duniya main kyon pyaar ki baatein karte ho,
khud mauka taakte rehte ho aur badnaam dilo ko karte ho….
Is do kaudi ki duniya main kyon ishq ki baatein karte ho….
Is do kaudi ki duniya main kyon pyaar ki baatein karte ho….

Zindagi ke veerane main ek saathi dhoondh raha hoon maen,
Is banjar mae-khaane main kyon saaqi dhundh raha hoon maen,
Mila hazaaron logo se is jeevan main per,
Phir bhi ek anjaana saathi dhoondh raha hoon maen,
Phir bhi ek anjaana saathi dhoondh raha hoon maen…

Haen bhare huye shubh-chintak mere is duniya main,
Haen bhare huye shubh-chintak mere is duniya main,
Jo de saath andhere main, woh ek saya dhoondh raha hoon maen,
Aise ek anjaana saathi dhoondh raha hoon maen,
Aise ek anjaana saathi dhoondh raha hoon maen…

Bhara hua hae daaman mera khushiyon se aaj,
Bhara hua hae daaman mera khushiyon se aaj,
Ho jo mere dukh ka saathi, usko dhoondh raha hoon maen,
Aise ek anjaana saathi dhoondh raha hoon maen,
Aise ek anjaana saathi dhoondh raha hoon maen…

Jo kare hifazat meri hargiz halaat ki aandhi se,
Aisa ek hamdard – humpyaala dhundh raha hoon maen,
Is banjar mae-khaane main aisa saaqi dhundh raha hoon maen,
Jeevan ke veerane main aisa ek saathi dhoondh raha hoon maen…

Ik muddat huyi unke kuchey se nikley,
Apne ishq ki ibaadat ¹ hum aaj bhi karte haen,
Youn to jee kar akele bhi khush haen hum,
Unko pane ki tamanna hum aaj bhi rakhte haen…
Woh kehte haen ki woh bhool gaye haen humein,
Woh kehte haen ki woh bhool gaye haen humein,
Dekhein jo woh seene main apne, usme sajda hum aaj bhi karte haen,
Gar de mauka humko yeh khuda,
Unhe unse churaane ka jazbaa² hum aaj bhi rakhte haen,
Unhe apna banaane ki koobat hum aaj bhi rakhte haen…..
Apne ishq ki ibaadat hum aaj bhi karte haen….
Apne ishq ki ibaadat hum ….

I wrote it when I was leaving IBM … I was in a confused state of emotions… Moving from IBM was my decision but now, as the feeling of parting was sinking I was nostalgic… not sure of the exact feelings… watever came to mind is here … in front of you all…

Saari zindagi saath nibhaane ka koi vaada to na tha,
Mere ehsaaso main bas jaane ka koi bahaana to na tha,
Hum jaante haen e-dost tujhko bakhoobi,
Mera dil tod kar jaane ka koi tera koi iraada to na tha…

Aaj, in tanhaiyon main…..
Phir yaad tumhaari aati hae,
Ek tees si dil main uth-ti hae,
Aur awaaz kahin se aati hae,
Kahan ho, kahan ho tum…
Har pal tumko dhundhoon main,
Har pal tumko sochoon main,
Kaun ho tum, kya rishta hae tumse,
Aur kyon is bandhan ko todoon main.
Ab is chakravyuh main uljha hoon….
Na-jaane kab maen in rishto ko badlunga,
Na-jaane kab main in bandhan ko todunga,
Nahi hae ilm¹ mujhe in gehraiyon ka,
Na-jaane kab maen is jeevan ko samjhunga…
Na-jaane kab maen is jeevan ko samjhunga…

Yeh vaada tha mera tumse ki jeevan bhar saath nibhaunga…
Maangogi gar tum to chaand taare bhi tod kar launga…
Rakhunga tuumko hamesha in palko per, teri har chahat ko poora karke aaunga…
Le jaunga tujhko saer jannat ki karaane aur agar thakk gaya to tere aanchal main so jaunga…
Rakhunga tujhko doooor har gham se aur tere liye duniya se maen lad jaunga…
Gar kardo vaada tum saath sada dene ka to is duniya ko dikhlaunga…
Hota hae ishq kya, yeh aashiq ban kar dikhaunga…
Afsos ke ab tera saath nahi hae, aur baaki bhi koi aas nahi hae…
In tootey jazbaato ke saath ab main baaki jeevan apna bitaunga…
Kehte ho bhool jaogey mujhe, maen teri yaadon main bas jaunga…
Apna baaki jeevan maen phir bhi tera saath nibhaunga…

Shiqwa hae yeh unse koi ilzaam nahi hae…

Hae mehfil mere ishq ki, bazaar nahi hae…
Hae charcha yeh ek aam koi asraar nahi hae….

Itihaas ke panno se….
One of my early poems when I made unsuccessful attemps of writing in english… 😮

Whenever you are alone, Just think of me…
I will be in your joys, sorrows or in your dreams…
I’ll have my influence on you, No matter what you do…
Think of me before you proceed and surely you will succeed…
I am always with you though invisible,
For me to think of life without you is impossible…
Never say to me good bye…
For I will be with you “Untill I Die” …

Itihaas ke panno se….
This one was for my cousin Atul…

These are the wishes for a boy,
May each moment of yours b filled with joy,
At every step you meet success,
And day by day you progress..
Till you have reached the heights
Where there are no nights and
light may fill your life,
So that forever you may smile..
Thats not all I wish for you
Instead have jotted a few…
