Kitni Zulfen Khulein Kitne Aanchal Urre Chand Ko Kiya Khabar

Kitni Zulfen Khulein Kitne Aanchal Urre Chand Ko Kiya Khabar

Kitna Maatam Hua Kitne Aansu Bahe Chand Ko Kiya Khabar

Muddaton Us Ki Khuwahish Mai Chalte Rahe Haath Aata Nahi

Chah Mai Is Ki Pairon Mai Hain Aablay Chand Ko Kiya Khabar

Wo Jo Nikla Nahi To Bhatakte Rahe Hain Musafir Kai

Aur Lut’te Rahe Hain Kai Qaaflay Chand Ko Kiya Khabar

Wo To Apni Nagri Mai Madhosh Hai Kab Se Khamosh Hai

Kon Raja Bana Kitne Syed Lutey Chand Ko Kiya Khabar

Is Ko Daawa Bohot Meethe-Pan Ka Wasi Chandni Se Kaho

Is Ki Kiranon Se Kitne Hi Ghar Jal Gaye Chand Ko Kiya Khabar

When Time Runs Out


When Time Runs Out


When time runs out and your heart needs to say so much more
But the heart that should hear it is gone now forever
And you are left with a raw nagging sore.

Then reach for your paper, your pen and your candle
And write though your heart it would burst.
No fears now restrain you; no judgment; no mock;
Write of your best, of your worst.

When your soul is then drained of its deepest regret
Then hold your true paper to the candle's clear flame
That thought-laden smoke might reach to that heart
And ashes, a symbol of love, yet remain.

Fall Has Arrived


Fall Has Arrived


The gush of wind blew my hair,
Straight up to the unforgiving air.
Fall was peaking around the trees,
Leaves would pile high, 
soon up to my knees.
Hello orange, yellow, and red, 
goodbye green,
Bye-bye June, July, and August, 
hello Halloween.
The warmth is gone and won

A lost soul trapped in a desert mind .


A lost soul trapped in a desert mind .
Seeking for love that it once have left behind .
Black spots in the heart .
Tearing the soul apart
Fears from the deep .
Nightmares in the sleep .

Shadows and darkness .
Fills up the soul with pain .
Their eyes shows you their complain .
It reflects their suffering soul .
Thru the eyes you can see the black hole .
Breaking thru beside the heart .
Waiting to break the soul apart .

A broken soul covered with ice.
A twisted mind that never dies
Filled up with hate and lies
You can hear the angels cries
About faith and hope they sing
Trying to repair the broken wing

A broken heart pushed to the side
Cover the pieces and try to hide
A fake mask with a fake smile
Shining thru a long mile
A fake voice with a weak noise
A lost human with a choice

To lift the voice and sing it back
With a strong noise and remove the black
To spread the wings and get ready to fly
Before the faith and happiness die
To Find the soul , before it falls into the hole
To fight to the end and reach the goal
To find the balance and stay whole
The desert mind with a trapped soul

I'M A BUTTERFLY


I'M A BUTTERFLY

You toss me up
You pull me back
You take my life
Tell me I lack
Why raise my hopes
Why make me dream
When in the end
It's all a scheme
Can't you see me?
Don't you even care?
I need to fly
Take off in the air
Let me break free
shed my pail coccoon
Please let me be
I'm a butterfly
Do you love me
Then let me fly
I'll break away
Please do not cry
The air is clear
The stars my guide
I'm running free
Never to hide

Insha ji ! uThTho ! ab kuuch karo


Insha ji ! uThTho ! ab kuuch karo

Insha ji ! uThTho ! ab kuuch karo, is sha'hr meN jii kaa lagaanaa kyaa
vahshii ko sukuuN se kyaa matlab, jogii kaa nagar meN Thikaanaa kyaa

is dil ke dariidaa-daaman ko dekho to sahii, socho to sahii
jis jholii meN sau chhed hue us jholii ko phailaanaa kyaa

shab biitii, chaaNd bhii Duub gayaa, zanjiir paRii darvaaze meN
kyuN der gaye ghar aaye ho, sajnii se karoge bahaanaa kyaa

us husn ke sachche motii ko ham dekh sakeN, par chhuu na sakeN
jise dekh sakeN par chhuu na sakeN vo daulat kyaa vo Khazaanaa kyaa

us ko bhii jalaa dukhte hue man, ik sholaa laal bhabhuukaa ban
yuN aaNsuu ban beh jaanaa kyaa, yuN maaTii meN mil jaanaa kyaa

jab sha'hr ke log na rasta dekheN, kyuN ban meN na jaa vishraam kare
diivaanoN kii sii na baat kare, to aur kare diivaanaa kyaa
