Main Aur mere roommates
aksar Yeh Baatain Karte Hain
Ghar saaf hota to kaisa hota
Main kitchen saaf karta, tum bathrooom dhote
main hall saaf karta, tum balcony dekhte
Log is baat pe hairaan hote
aur us baat pe haste….

Main aur mere roommates,
aksar Yeh Baatain Karte Hain
Yeh hara bhara sink hai
ya bartanon ki jang chidi hui hai
Yeh colour full kitchen hai
ya masalon se holi kheli hai
Hai farsh ki nayi design
ya doodh, beer se dhuli hui hain

Yeh cellphone hai ya dhakkan,
sleeping bag ya kisika aanchal,
ye airfreshner ka naya flavour hai,
ya trash bag se ati badboo
Yeh pattiyon ki hai sarsarahut
ke heater phirse kharab hua hai
Yeh sonchta hain roommate kab se gum sum -
Ke jab ke usko bhi yeh khabar hai
Ke machar nahi hai, kaheen nahi hai
magar uska dil hai ke kah raha hai
machar yaheen hai, yaheen kaheen hai !

Toand ( pet ) ki ye haalat, meri bhi hai, uski bhi,
dil mein ek tasvir idhar bhi hai, udhar bhi
Karne ko bohot kuch hai magar kab kare hum
Kab tak yoon hi is tarah rahe hum
Dil kahta hai Safeway se koi vaccum cleaner la de
ye Carpet jo jine ko zoonz raha hai, fikwa de
Hum saaf rahe sakte hai, logon ko bata dain,
Haan hum roommates hai – roommates hai – roommates hai

Ab dil main yehi baaaat, idhar bhi hai udhar bhi..

Sab ko bata dain..

Kis gunah ki saja tumne mujhe diya...?
Ban ke bewafa tumne pyaar ko badnam kyon kiya....?
Mila tumse mohabbat karne ka sila mujhe,
Jite ji tumne mujhe ye judai ka zahar kyon diya...?

Na karte pyar kabhi bhi tumse agar pta hota mujhe judai ka gam,
Karke mujhe akela, kahan chale gye wo bewafa sanam,
Kya duniya ki yahi reet hain...?
Pyar aur Judai me aksar kyon judai ka hi jeet hain....?
Kis janam ka badla sanam tumne mujhse liya...?
Karke ghayal dil ko, mujhe akela yu chhod diya,

Ab to ye duniya mujhe tane mar rahi,
Kabhi laila majnu to kabhi heer ranjha ki pyar ki kahaniya suna rahi,
Ja bewafa ja khush raho uske sath jise tumne apna bna liya,
Dard dekar mujhe jo mere dil ko
DARD -E- DIL bna diya,
DARD -E- DIL bna diya.....

Zikr jab zindagi ka hota hai toh hum aksar apni zindagi ke guzre waqt ke flashbacks mein chale jaate hai, aur kehte hai zindagi toh bohot buri guzar rahi hai.. yeh maana ki jo beet gaya hai usse bhulaya toh jaa sakta hai magar apne zehan se mitaya nahi jaa sakta.. bas unn tamaam ache-bure daur ko muqaddar samjhkar aage badha jaa sakta hai. Aur life mein ek phase aata jab humein lagta hai ab aur kya dekhne ko baaqi reh gaya hai zindagi mein saare tajurbe aur sabaq mil chuke hai ab toot jaane mein hi bhalayi hai haar jaana hi ek aakhri sahi rasta hai. Aur phir apni khushiyon ka shok aur barbaadiyon ka jashn manane lag jaate hai. Magar khushiyan bhi itni aasani haar nahi maanti. Zindagi humein har ache-bure daur ke baad ek khoobsurat tohfa deti hai jisse hum mauka kehte hai. Humein zindagi se mile wo saare tajurbe aur sabaq phir se jeene ka hausla dete hai. Ek nayi umeed dete hai. Aur shayad isliye hum zindagi ka saath nahi chhorte.
Beete kal mein pareshan rehte hai, aane kal ki fizool mein fikar rehti hai aur jo aaj hai usse jeete toh hai magar thodi bechaini ke saath. Jo guzar gaya usse accept karke aage badh jao, jo kal hoga wo tumhare aaj ki mehnat se pata chalega na ki fikar se, aur apne aaj se mohabbat karo.
Ek badi ajeeb si cheez hai jo hum sabhi ke saath hoti hai jab hum 5-6 saal purani tasveer mein khudko dekhte hai toh hasi aajati hai ki kaise the hum ab waqai behtar badlaav aaya hai hum mein wo badlaav tum laaye ** khud ke andar. Waqt ke saath mature hokar, mushkil se mushkil maqaam haasil karke, apna vision aur mindset positive rakhkar, apni zindagi ko sahi raaste mein le jaakar. Isliye tum haare nahi **, zindagi mauke deti hai magar tumhe ehsaas tak nahi hone degi kab tumne uss mauke ka fayda utha liya. Aur agar kabhi bura phase aaye toh uss mein bekhauf hokar jeena magar sahi waqt par nikalkar apni zindagi ko behtar bana dena. Kyunki abhi tumhara qissa khatam nahi huwa, abhi tumhe nikhar ke wapas aana hai kahani badalne.. .

Kadam yaadon ke ghere mein
Mera jab bhi kabhi padta
Woh aalam yaad aata tha
Woh aangan yaad aata tha

Woh dopahar mein gulmohar
Pe chadna yaad aata tha
Gulaabon, phal wa phoolon ka
Mehekna yaad aata tha...

Subah koyal ki ku ku ka
Woh shor o gul tha yaad aata
Agasi par tanhayi ka
Woh kona yaad aata tha

Har ek pal ki kahani thi
Woh dastaanon ka har lamha
Us chaukhat ka har ek paththar
Har zarra yaad aata tha

Falak par hi to hota hai
Tasawwur e irum aksar
Sama ki sar Zameen par tha
Jo "Firdaus" yaad aata tha

Padosi ka sulook e khair
Woh rishta yaad aata tha
Padosi ka hi phir hum par
Nishaana yaad aata tha

Woh kaalapan woh sannata
Woh buu e Raakh ka uthna
Mere armanon ke ghar ka
Jalana yaad aata tha

'Ain' ashq ab behta hai to kya
Mita to yeh nahi sakta
Khalish e qalb ka woh pal
Jo aksar yaad aata tha....

Tujhe dekh najane kyon dhadkta hain
ye dil,
Tujhse milne ke liye najane kyon tadpta hain
ye dil,
Aaj mausam bhi udas hain tere bina,
Teri hi yaadon me najane kyon khoya rahta hain ye dil,
Tujhe dekh najane kyon dhadkta hain
ye dil...


Mere dil me gairo ke liye koi jagah nahi,
Tujhse pyar karne ka koi dusra wajah nahi,
Aksar tut jata hain ye dil kisi ke pyar me,
Bah jati hain aansoo kisi ke intezar me,
Soch biti baton ko najane kyon rone lagta hain ye dil,
Tujhe dekh najane kyon dhadkta hain ye dil...


Tere pyar me judai hum sah nahi sakte,
Ekpal bhi ab tere bina hum rah nahi sakte,
Teri judai se najane kyon darta hain
ye dil,
Tujhe dekh najane kyon dhadkta hain
ye dil,.
Tujhe dekh najane kyon dhadkta hain
ye dil....

Ek sehmi si khwaish dabi rehti hai palko talle,
ek nayaab pankho ki talaash hai shayad usse..
Aksar khamoshi Ke lafzon Mei pucha karti hai,
"Aye dost, itna bata, kis gunaah Ka illzam hai mujhpe?"

A beautiful English translation by fellow poetess Sukeerti:

A scared little wish stays embedded underneath the lashes of my eyes;
Perhaps, it's searching for a pair of flight feathers- rare and precious,
As often, in lyrics enclosed by quietude, this wish questions me-
"O friend of mine, please let me know, what sin am I a convict of?"

Log Kehte hai jo pyar karta hai...
Wo hi gussa karte hai....
To kya gussa aur beizzat Karne Me...
Wo farak nahi janta hai....
Kisi ke liy pyar Me gussa karna jayas hai....
Par...par...
Kya ush pyar ke naam par ushe jalil karna ulta kehna Abuse karna bhi pyar me jayas hai...
Janab Agar ishe pyar kahte hai to dur hi raho aise pyar se...
Jo khusiyo ke jagah udaasi de...
Khusi ke jagah gum De...
Izzat ke bajae beizzat kare...
Aur last me galti accept krne ke bajae ush glti ko aisa naam de...
Pyar me dono partner ko imp. Dena jaruri hai...
Ek jhuke to ye nahi ki app hmesa ushpe ungli uthao ushe jhukao...
Jb tk wo jhuk rahi thik hai jis din wo ye sochne lagi ki hmesa wo kyu...
To kuch bhi kar loge wo laut ke nahi aaegi....
Waqt se pehle kadar Karna sikh lo..
Aksar hame jiski kadar nahi hoti wo kadar tumhe waqt dilata hai...
Aur tb tak bahut der ** jati hai...

Dil todkar mera aaj wo apna dard  dikhane chale hai,
Pyar ka naam badnaam kar aaj wo pyar sikhane chale hai,
Kal tak jinhe parwaah na thi meri,
Aaj wo phir se jhuthe humdard dikhane chale hai...

Kitne azeeb hai log jo palbhar me badal jate hai,
Sukh me sab sath rahte dukh me ojhal ** jate hai,
Jinpar hum khud se jyada bharosha karte,
Aksar wahi ek din dil tod jate hai,

Khud dard dekar aaj meri galatiyan ginane chale hai,
Kal tak mera mazak udate aaj apne aap ko masoom btane chale hai,
Bankar bahurupiya mere samne,
Aaj wo phir ek naya roop dikhane chale hai...
Ek naya roop dikhane chale hai....

Kuchh Zakhm sine me hi dab jate hai,
Tou kuchh aansuo me bah jate hai,
Ye zakhmon ka Silsila kahan thamta hai,
Kuchh Gairo se mila,Kuchh apne hi de jate hai,

Jis jis pr es dil ne bharosha kiya hai,
Aksar usne hi ese zakhmi kar diya hai,
Jiske liye sazaye the sapne humne,
Sirf unhone hi mujhe Judai ka upahar diya hai,

Kabhi aansuo ke sahare us gum ko bhulate hai,
Tou kabhi muskura kr us dard ko chhupate hai,
Zindagi ke roop rang ko smjhna behad mushqil hai,
Kabhi koi paas aata,tou kabhi bin btaye hi ojhal ** jate hai,

.........

Main aksar apne jazbaat chupa liya krta ***',
Khamosh raaton mein kabhi khud ko hansa ya thoda rula liya krta ***',
Jaanta *** jindgi mein ab mukammal nahi hai ishq tera',
Par har waqt naam bas tumhara he liya karta ***',

Khamoshi bahut kuch kehati hai
Aur woh aksar khamosh rehati hai

Silence speaks more than words
And she remains silent quite often

Wajah bewajah
bina baat hi kabhi bas,
log rootha kyu karte hain ?

Kyu
apni hi ummeedon ke tang jaal mein
din raat,
yun hi ghuta karte hain ?

Jaane anjaane
hum  “humare” “apno” se
wada jhootha kyu karte hain ?

Zindagi ki daud dhoop mein
kuch saathi bante hain
toh kuch
choota kyu karte hain ?

Dilon ke rishte
Aksar toota kyu karte Hain ?

Yeh roothne manane ka akhir silsila kya hai
Kai baar mile aur bichad gaye
Bhala majra kya hai ?

Iss banne aur sawarne ki
Iss tootne bikharne ki
Aakhir dawa bhi kya hai ?

Hey Nath,
Yeh das tumhare charano mein
Gira hua hai pooch raha
Mera dil hi kahin behaya kya hai
Ya paap ka ghada shaayad bhar gaya hai

Iss bhava bandhan mein phansa  hua
Meri karun pukaar suno
Kukarmo ke daldal mein dhansa hua
Kar raha chitkaar suno
Davagni mein jal raha
Bheesan hahakaar suno

Daya karo ab hey Bhagvan
Ya ban Narsingh sanhaar karo
Aap ki sharan mein ab yeh dushtt
Iss neech ka uddhar karo

Tum our sirf tum
Kam lagta hai sab
Jab sath na hote ** tum
Barish bhi aa gayee
Kya nahi bhigo ge is baar  tum
Aana hai milna hai
bahut sari baate karna hai
Is baar bas milna tum
Mai bolta rahu
bas sirf sunana tum
Do **** ke ek jaan hai ham
Aksar yahi kahte the tum

Repost;

koi fariyaad tere dil mein dabi ** jaise
tune aankhon se koi baat kahi ** jaise

It feels as if there is some request hidden in your heart,
as if you have said something with your eyes.

jaagte jaagte ek umr kaTi ** jaise
jaan baaki hai magar saans ruki ** jaise

It feels like a lifetime has passed, awake,
like there is life remaining, while breath isn't there.

har mulaakat pe mehsoos yehi hota hai
mujhse kuchh teri nazar poochh rahi ** jaise

everytime we meet, I get a feeling
as if your eyes are asking me something.

raah chalte hue aksar yeh Gumaan hota hai
wo nazar chhup ke mujhe dekh rahi ** jaise

while walking down a path, I often feel
like your eyes are watching me from hiding.

ek lamhe mein simaT aaya hai sadiyon ka safar
zindagi tez, bahut tez, chali ** jaise

a journey of ages has wound up in just one moment,
as if life has moved fast, very fast.

is tarah pehron tujhe sochta rehta hoon main
meri har saans tere naam likhi ** jaise

I keep thinking about you for hours in such a way,
as if every breath of mine was just yours.

Kya hai yeh khayalaat,
Jin pe beeth jaathi hai raatein,
Kaun kaat tha hai wakth,
Chaand-sooraj ya gadhi ke ye kaantein,
Sab soch teh hai -kya hothi hai yeh zindagi,
Lo aaj hum bataatein hai,
Zindagi tho kuch nahi ahem tho hai ye mulaakaatein.
Ek mulaakat hai woh,
Jo aksar aathi-jaathi hai,
Jo hamein thod thi hai rulaathi hai,
Woh mulaakat jo hamari har pal ko inthekaam banathi hai,
Aur dhoosri hai woh,
Jisse milne ke liye tarasthi hai sab ki aanke,
Zindagi nahi hai sirf din aur raatein,
Ahem tho hai yeh dho mulaakaatein.

Aksar mai Jo dhikthi hoon
Woh hothi nahi,
Par woh dikawa nahi,
Haan nahi hoon mai bold ya sigma,
Mujhe doosron ke kushi se hi kushi
Miltha hai,
Thoda selfish kayal bhi aaya na,
Toh khud kushi lagtha hai,
Aur shahad mai yeh accept nahi karpai,
Par sach yahi hai,
Ki main kabi galat raasthe mai thi hi nahi,
Chahe gussa ** ya gham,
Haalath kaise bhi **,
Apno ke liye jaban se theer na dena,
Yeh bhi toh ek kala hai,
Aakir ghum mai bhi sahi hone ka sukh
Kithno ko miltha hai.

Tanhayee Ki Khamooshi
Shor Machaa Daitai Hai.
Aksar Hammai Phir Sai
Aur Tanha Kar Daitai Hai.
