Aik Musaafir
Dhool se baney baadlon pe baitha
Soch raha hei
Laakhon meel jitney din guzar gaey us se miley
Us ne kaha tha
Kal Milein Gei
“Wok al kab aaey ga?
Kitney saarey dinon ke baad”
Is pe us ne
Narm Haathon se
Aik halki se
Khamoshi rakh di thi
Wohi khamoshi liye
Ab talak ghoomta hon mein
Us ne kaha tha
Mera aitabaar karma
“Aitbaar tau hei
Phir aisa kyoon?”

Pain dares with deceit while peace lives in the company of fear.
One mistake overlaps all your correct actions.
One wrong step erases your righteous path.
One bad intention stains your good deeds.
One folly pulls you out of reason.
One stupidity stamps you with insanity.
One painful expression wipes years of gratitude off your face.
One disappointment labels you a failure.
One [...]
Mein Us Se Mohabbat Kartey Kartey Thak Gya Tha
Kab Tak Us Ke Pairon Taley
Apney Hissey Ke Rastey Kaat Kaat Kar Bichata
Kab Tak Us Ki Udass Aankhon Se Girney Waley
Saarey Aansoo Choomta
Kab Tak Apney Labon Ki Muskuraahat
Us Ke Khushk Labon Pe Bikhairta
Mein Us Se Mohabbat Kartey Kartey Thak Gya Tha
Bas Yahi Soch Kar Ke Ab [...]
I got tired of loving her
For how long could I
Cut my own passages and spread them under her feet
For how long could I
Kiss her falling tears away
For how long could I
Spread my smiles on her dry lips
.
I got tired of loving her
Thinking, that now I would get my destiny,
All by myself
.
I slid my path from [...]
A Writer
Staring at empty pages of his journal
Is Thinking
.
I, whose feet only trod the nights,
Until today,
Have only been looking for characters
For the stories I write
In those silent sleepless nights
On those melancholic paths I always took
.
Until today, everything
Rain, Fragrance, Wind, Sounds
Everything was just imagination
Every dream was only to carve a new character for my stories
.
That writer
Surrounded [...]
A Hawker, with his tired bicycle
is sitting on a dirty footpath
….. Thinking …..
I have grown old selling newspaper
Everyday, on my bicycle
Carrying fresh news of the day gone by
Wander all over the places
Every single day
Carrying the burden of yesterday
My shoulders have gone numb
No news ever seems heavy now
Who lives who dies
Some flourish, some get deceived
Its [...]
Aik Hawker Apni Thaki Haari Cycle Se Taik Laga Kar
Aik Rondey Huwey Footpath Pe Betha
Soch Raha Hei
Akhbaar Bechtey Bechtey Boorha Ho Chala Hoon
Har Roz Apni Cycle Pe
Guzrey Kal Ki Taaza Khabrein Laadey
Gali Gali Ghoomta Hoon
Har Aaj Ke Din
Guzrey Kal Ka Bojh Uthaatey Uthaatey
Kandhey Be-His Ho Gaey Hein
Ab Koi Khabar Bhaari Nahin Lagti
Koi Jiye Ya Marey
Koi [...]
A farmer is sitting on the shoulder of his barren field
…Thinking…
It hasn’t rained this year either
This year too, rainy season has only come begging
Hungry, thirsty
Clouds approach
They thunder and roar
And then just like some weak moments
Fly away with the wind
That farmer is thinking
This rainy season is just like my son
Year ago
Treading upon a dirty path and [...]
Aik Kisaan Apni Banjar Khaiti Ke Kaandhey Pe Baithaa
Soch Raha Hey
Ab Ke Baras Bhi Baarish Nahin Barsi
Ab Ki Baar Bhi Barkhaa Bhikaaran Ban Kar Hi Aai
Bhooki Pyaasi
Baadal Aatey Hein
Bigartey Hein Garajtey Hein
Aur Phir Kuch Kamzor Lamhon Ki Tarah
Hwaa Ke Zor Pe Urtey Kahin Door Chaley Jatey Hein
Wo Kisaan Soch Raha Hey
Ye Saawan Bhi Merey Baitey [...]
I have written over two dozen songs; but never shared them with anyone except with a handful of friends. Tonight, after long time I opened my old files and thought I would share one of those songs. This was the first one that caught my eye; and I am posting it here.
The song is called [...]
