Tamasha

Zindagi tamasha nahi
Yaha koi ved aur tara nahi
Nahi majnu ne laila ke liya kapde liye phad
Nahi koi pal bhar tehrne ko tayaar
Nahi dil ye sambhlega iss baar
Bahar se kuch aur,
Andar se majboor toh hai hum
Par kahani ki ending wahi
Aur kahani bhi sabki wahi hai
Laila- Majnu, Heer Ranjha
Sikander ki chadhayi, Lanka ki Ladai
Laila ke pyaar mei, ab Majnu ne liya kapde bhi phaad
Par hum cool act karenge
Heer toh waise hi badi sad
Safarnama toh hai ye sawalon ka
Chhut-Put aashiqui, mein dhalegi ye kahani..
Khudhi haste, khudhi rote
Khudhi khud ko satavenge hum
Sun re sun par beliya, dil ne dhoka diya
Tu aur hai, koi aur hai
Kyun nahi woh jo hai..
Lagta hai ab zindagi ka tamasha ban hi gaya..
Par ye sab jo hai woh mai nahi, sab nakli hai
Tirkit taal se toh chal rahi yahi kahani..
Par Don aayega aur Mona ka sona le jaayega..

Khamoshiyan..


Kitna kuch keh jati hai ye khamoshiyan
Bina ek shabd kahe apni dastaan bata jati hai ye khamoshiyan

Sawaal naye de jati hai ye
Unhi sawaloon ke jawaab bhi suna jati ye 

Kitni gehri hai ye khamoshiyan
Dooba lengi khud mei hi ye khamoshiyan

Cheekhti chilati hai ye khamoshiyan
Khul kar azaad hone ke liye tadap jati hai ye

Pyar bhi jatayei ye khamoshiyan
Dard hazaar bhi de jaaye ye khamoshiyan

Halki phulki
Sau haathiyo se bhi bhari kabhi

Saath hamesha nibhaye ye khamoshiyan
Shabdon jaise na kabhi dhoka de jaaye ye khamoshiyan

Apni si lagti hai ye khamoshiyan
Meri kabhi..
Teri kabhi..
Teri meri khamoshiyan..

Chal aaj yun kare.. ( Reprise )

Chal aaj yun kare
Main khud ko tujh mei paaon
Aur tu mujh mei kahi kho jaaye

Tere bahoon mei jab main aaon
Meri sari zindagi sawar jaaye
Tera haath tham 
Sari duniya se main ladd jaaon

Chal aaj yun kare
Teri muskaan ke peeche jo dard chupa hai
Woh tu mujhe batayein
Aur jab iss jahaan se tera dil thak jaaye
Mere aanchal mei sarr rakh tu so jaaye

Chal aaj yun kare
Tu mera bann jaaye
Aur mai tujh mei kahi kho jaaon

Chal aaj yun kare
Chal aaj yun kare...

Chal aaj yun kare..

Chal aaj yun kare
Main apne khwaab de doon tujhe
Aur tu mujhe apne gam de dey

Teri muskurahat ban jaaon main
Tere saare aansu apne kar loon
Tere saare ghaav bhar doon
Tujh par apni mohabbat barsaa doon

Chal aaj yun kare
Main apna suraj de doon tujhe
Aur tu mujhe apni kaali raatein de dey

Teri rooh ki roshni phir chamke
Tere chehre ki muskaan phir laut aaye
Tere saare darr main cheen lo
Tera aanchal phir hawaa mei khul kar lehraaye

Chal aaj yun kare
Main khud ko tujh mei paaon
Aur tu mujh mei kho jaaye..

Chal aaj yun kare
Chal aaj yun kare..

Friend or foe

Time to ponder 
Time to search
Looked always outside
When the answer lay within
Who can ever love me right ?
If I figure myself wrong on that list
How can I ask someone to love ?
When that someone was never me
How can I love anyone else ?
When I haven't ever loved myself enough
How can I fulfill your dreams ?
When I have left my own dreams unseen
Will I be truly happy ?
If my key to happiness lies with you, not me
How can I call anyone my own ?
When my own thoughts desert me
How can I show someone any light ?
When I hold only darkness within

Love is the answer
Love is the way
I can't pour from an empty soul
Things get filled uptil brim, only then overflow
So I stop my search outside, look within
This time I'll not ask for love 
I'll cultivate, enrich on my own
I have to love myself enough
Before sharing it with any friend or foe..

Universe

The universe listens
It does
Your whispers, your mumbles
Your rants, your love ballads
Your chuckle when you laugh
Your silent sobs

It's a mirror, say few
Few say it conspires
And few say it never cares
I believe in the theory of conspiracy
It's a huge abyss that echoes
Our thoughts, our wants
They get reflected
In decimals
At times in multifold

Optimistic people get to meet optimist
Pessimist often attract their own kind
Positivity begets positivity
Negativity somehow attracts negative vibe
It's a vicious cycle
Cause Universe listens, 
And it does so keenly..

It's our oyster, our cave
Our tree, our lake
Our home
The place we took our first
And will leave our last breath..

Fall in love..

Fall in love..
You'll be broken, battered, bruised
Yet, fall in love
You'll be neglected, cheated, manipulated
Yet, fall in love
You'll be deserted, judged, defeated
Yet, fall in love...

Fall in love..
Fall in love with that breeze of fresh air
With the tiny sparkling drop on the leaflet
And the chirping of birds

Fall in love..
Fall in love the way the water gushes upon the rocks
With the many seashells washed upon the shore
And the way Sun sets far off the sea at horizon

Fall in love..
Fall in love with the many colours of the rainbow
With the different shapes the clouds adorn
And the final drizzle that they bring along

Fall in love..
Fall in love with the bright moon in the dark sky
With the many million sparkling stars which give the moon company
And the galaxies which can't be seen with our naked eyes

Fall in love..
Fall in love with a friend who cares for you at any point of life
With the family which makes your home
And the work that gives you sense of purpose

Fall in love..
Fall in love with every breath you take
Every step you make
Fall in love with the person you see in the mirror every day
Fall in love with the life you are living
Fall in love..
Because it's worth it in the end...

Hang on!

You have to reach out Yeah, you have to Sometimes to help Sometimes to seek The simplest of the things The not so obvious signs That subtle ...
