Shaam ki sardi mein
Jab ghar se hum nikle, 
Mast kuch bachchon ne yaad dilaya The hum bhi kitne befikre.

Beet gaya aane se pehle, 
Waqt kisi ka na hua.
Bachpan le gaya sang apne, 
Phir aaye mudke hai yehi dua.

Kashtiyan kagaz ki banake 
Chalate the paani mein, 
Yehi nahi baarishon mein ghoomne Nikalte the apni cycle pe.

Baarish ka anand nahi, 
Toofanon se darte hain ab,
Woh din bhi kya din the 
Jab apne se lagte the sab.

Kahaniyan sunke khud ko
Doobate us duniya mein, 
Na jhooth, na dikhava, 
Na dhokha tha usmein.

Dil mein thi ek bekarari hamesha, rehta tha khushi ka intezaar, 
Ab hai yakin kismat pe apni, 
Kabhi na lautenge ab woh din raat.
Being The Shortest Day


’Tis the yeares midnight, and it is the dayes,
Lucies, who scarce seaven houres herself unmaskes,
  The Sunne is spent, and now his flasks
  Send forth light squibs, no constant rayes;
    The worlds whole sap is sunke:
The generall balme th’ hydroptique earth hath drunk,
Whither, as to the beds-feet, life is shrunk,
Dead and interr’d; yet all these seem to laugh,
Compar’d with mee, who am their Epitaph.

Study me then, you who shall lovers bee
At the next world, that is, at the next Spring:
  For I am every dead thing,
  In whom love wrought new Alchimie.
    For his art did expresse
A quintessence even from nothingnesse,
From dull privations, and leane emptinesse:
He ruin’d mee, and I am re-begot
Of absence, darknesse, death—things which are not.

All others, from all things, draw all that’s good,
Life, soule, forme, spirit, whence they beeing have;
  I, by loves limbecke, am the grave
  Of all, that’s nothing.  Oft a flood
    Have wee two wept, and so
Drownd the whole world, us two; oft did we grow
To be two Chaosses, when we did show
Care to ought else; and often absences
Withdrew our soules, and made us carcasses.

But I am by her death—which word wrongs her—
Of the first nothing, the Elixer grown;
  Were I a man, that I were one,
  I needs must know; I should preferre,
    If I were any beast,
Some ends, some means; Yea plants, yea stones detest,
And love; All, all some properties invest;
If I an ordinary nothing were,
As shadow, a light, and body must be here.

But I am None; nor will my Sunne renew.
You lovers, for whose sake, the lesser Sunne
  At this time to the Goat is runne
  To fetch new lust, and give it you,
    Enjoy your summer all;
Since shee enjoyes her long nights festivall,
Let mee prepare towards her, and let mee call
This houre her Vigill, and her Eve, since this
Bothe the yeares, and the dayes deep midnight is.

Aajkal Bolna hota hai kuch merko
Par kuch aur hi bol jata hu me
Aajkal hasta sabke saath hu me
Bas tumhare saath hi muskura pata hu me

Aajkal harr raat sone toh jata hu me
Par sapno me tumhari awaz sunke uth jata hu me
Aajkal ek hi gane ko sau baar sunta hu me
Phir kyu tumko soch kar sau gane likh jata hu me

Aajkal hota toh me yehi pe hu
Par kissi aur ke khayalo me doob jata hu me
Aajkal raaste toh bahut leta hu me
Par manzilo me tum tak pahuch jata hu me

Aajkal zindagi lagti hai mere sapno ki tarah
Phir lagta hai galti se uth na jau me khi
Aajkal har pal jeeta hu me zindagi ki tarah
Phir sochta hu ye pal bheet na jae khi

Aajkal sanse tham jaati hai meri
Bas Jab bhi hoti ** tum sath
Aajkal dhadkne dhadkti hai meri
Bas Jab tak tum ** saath

Jad bi koi chude wali langdi kol di
Me tenu labda ude wich
Sochda shyad kite tera face dikh jawe
Bada tadap reha ha tenu dekhan lai
Photo nai dekhni
Samne ake dekhna
Ena jyada tadap reha ki puch na
Par tenu ta *** koi fark ni penda
Tahi keh kr ***
Ki u will regret for life
Kiwe a jawa samne eh gal sunke

— The End —
