Dil Ka Aalam

Dil ka aalam kuch aisa hai.
Gham ki sagar me dooba hai.
Cheekh bhi na aane deta labon par.
Zindagi bezubaan si ho gayi hai.

Dil ka aalam kuch aisa hai.
Ragon me lahoo ki jagah
Ab zeher hi baste hai.

Kise karun bayan apna Haal-e-Dil?
Ajkal toh apne hi hume
saanp bankar daste hai.

Dil ka aalam kuch aisa hai.
Ke kuch aapke jaisa, aur,
Kuch humare jaisa hai.
Dil ka aalam kuch aisa hai.

Maanjhi

Ek naav si hi hoti hai ye zindagi.
Jis disha me le jana chaaho,
Us disha mein hi ye jayegi.
Toofan aane par ladkhadayegi,
Par thik se sambhaalo toh
Sambhal bhi jayegi.
Ek naav si hi hoti hai ye zindagi.

Aapne dusron ki kashti ko
doobte zarur dekha hoga.
Par unki kashti doobi kyunki
Wo usse sambhaal na paaye.
Aur us nazaare ke dar se
Agar aap is vishal samandar
Ki sair ko na nikle,
toh manjhi kaise kehlaoge?

Darr sabko lagta hai,
par dar se darkar agar
Aap pehle hi haar maan loge,
Toh ye zindagi kaise jiyoge?

Ye zindagi tujhe girayegi,
Is zindagi ka dastur yahi hai.
Par gir kar ruk jana,
Ye tera dastur nahi hai.

Uth, badh, par ghabra kar na ruk.
Nikaal kashti aur bhid un lehron se.
Takra, ladkhada, par haar na maan,
Aur jeet kar aa.

Ek naav si hi hoti hai ye zindagi.
Jis disha me le jana chaaho,
Us disha mein hi ye jayegi.

Nami

Tu hai, phir bhi kyun khalti hai teri kami.
Sab waqt ka taqaaza hai.
Mehsoos hua ye mujhe aaj,
jab aayi mere in aankhon mein nami.

Patthar Dil Insaan

Agar tab hum nadaan na hote.
Agar tab zindagi me aaye
wo toofan na hote.
Agar tab sath wo kuch
galat insaan na hote.
Nazarandaaz na kar paye jise,
Hue waise kuch apmaan na hote.
Toh shayad aaj hum logo
Ki nazron me yoon patthar dil
Insaan na hote.

Agar hume na mile hote wo dhoke.
kiye te Kasme vaade ke rahenge
Hum sath humesa, ek hoke.
Par ant me hua wahi na,
Ke hume akele sab sehna pada,
Kabhi hass ke, toh kabhi ro ke.

Ishq ki baat nahi kar raha hoon.

Pyar ka matlab sirf ishq nahi hota hai.
Pyar ke toh Anek prakaar ke hote hai.

Koi behen bankar,
Toh koi bhai bankar,
Koi dost bankar,
Koi mehboob bankar pyar deta.

Par jab in rishto ki dor toot jati hai na.
Toh is gham ko baant ne wala
Sath mein, Koi na rehta.

Shayad isliye log patthar dil ban jate hai.
Galti unki nahi, wo toh bas, apne aap ko
Us taklif ke samandar se bachaate hai.
Us taklif ke samandar se bachaate hai.

Aur ant me baat wahi pe aati hai.
Agar tab hum nadaan na hote.
Agar tab zindagi me aaye
wo toofan na hote.
Agar tab sath wo kuch
galat insaan na hote.
Nazarandaaz na kar paye jise,
Hue waise kuch apmaan na hote.
Toh shayad aaj hum logo
Ki nazron me yoon patthar dil
Insaan na hote.

Barely Alive

Today I saw a man dying.
After he was gone,
I saw him and his eyes.
They were looking at me,
open wide.
My eyes, too, are open.
But I’m dead inside.

That’s the difference.
He’s actually dead, and,
I’m barely alive.

-Abhishek Gupta.

Here

I am here.
Right here.
Where I was.
Standing still.
Waiting for you.
To look back once.
But you won’t.
You always,
used to say,
life goes on.
But mine,
It stopped.
I am here.
Right here.

Smile

Don’t you dare, let anyone,
take that smile away from you.
No matter how broke you are.
No matter how lonely you feel.
No matter how gloomy life becomes.
Don’t lose that smile.
Don’t you dare, lose it.

When the darkness will consume,
you, your life and your heart.
When your mind will be foreshadowed
by thoughts sick and grim.

That smile, will act as your
Knight in the shining armour.
Because, when nothing in
your life will make sense,
and you’ll feel there’s no
point staying here, in this
world filled with humans
whose hearts are so
corrupt that even the devil
would think twice before
making a deal with them.

Your smile, it will remind,
you and the people around,
that one should never give up,
because of the people around,
because they don’t even matter.

What matters, in the end,
is you, and your happiness.

Don’t you dare, let anyone,
take that smile away from you.
Smile, even in your darkest times.
Because your smile might give,
someone else the strength to fight.

Tanha

एक खाली खुली किताब सी ही है मेरी ज़िन्दगी।
लोग आते है, और पन्नों पर अपना नाम लिख,
फिर कहीं दूर, मुझे तन्हा छोड़, चले जाते है।
