NAA KISI JASHAN MEIN

Naa kisi jashan mein gye,   

Na maatam mein shareek hue.

Hai naya-naya surur abhi,

zamaane ko tareekh hue.

Chal aaj khul kar ujaale mein bhi roya jaaye,

Beet gaya hai waqt bahut ,

muhalle me shareef hue.

Ye gila hai khud se ki main uska naa ho saka,

Vo lakeerein tak badal gya mera naseeb hue.

Yun to saath chalti hai har mod par

zindagi hi zindagi,

magar aaj talak nahi jana use itne kareeb hue.

UN PAR TARAS KHAA KAR

Unn par taras kha kar ehsaan kar diya,

Nafrat hai mujhe unse ye elaan kar diya.

Yaad toh ba-mushkil hi unhe mera naam ho,

Aaj bhul jana bhi lijiye aasaan kar diya.

Taaki koi sheesha unke ghar ka naa ho zakhmi,

Peeskar pattharo ko registaan kar diya.

Udhar rona ki unhein matlab nahi mujhse,

Idhar matlabiyon ne pareshan kar diya.

Muh ki khayega zubaan sambhaal ‘chaaras’,

Saafgoi ne jeena haraam kar diya.

THE PERFECT TIME

Growing inside

Dying outside,

It takes everything to feel alright.

Faded hopes

never let you cry,

You must sing even for a while.

It seems so unfair

at times,

When you can’t be that same old guy.

Everyday vanishes

Same way it did,

Its just how you say goodbye.

When no one cares

you’re passed or alive,

Hey!

That’s the perfect time to survive!
