Hostel life as a son

It chills my heart like stone cold dark
To think, the things that goes through your mind
When you have to say goodbye
To me again, mother
This little time we spend
Compared to months I am away
Feels like shimmering sunlight in Alaska
Or a hot sunny day
Any amount o'happiness cannot
Compensate for the pain
As I leave to the college again, mother
To see the smile on your face
Spread like yellow tint on sandalwood
Everytime I put my head in your lap
Again I return to my childhood, mother

Dekha hi Kya hai tmne..

Dur k kisi baag se awaz aayi
Shaakho PE jitne phal nhi the
Darakht ne usse jyada patthar dekhe Hain

Dashko see chal rae jar jar jute bole
Kaase mein jitne sikke nhi the
Fakeer ne usse jyada Ghar dekhe Hain

Dhoop se tap rahi jhopdi ne kaha
Badan PE jitne kapde nhi Hain
Gareeb ne usse jyada mausam dekhe Hain

Sahmi Hui ek aabaai cycle boli
Jhole mein jitne phal nhi the
Saudagar ne usse jyada grahak dekhe Hain

Ek masoom Ghar ki bhi apni kahani hai
Jeb mein jitni rakam nhi thi
Kafeel ne usse jyada kharch dekhe Hain

Sun k sab kuch khaali botale bhi boli
Shahar mein jitni titliya nhi thi
Maekhaano ne usse jyada aashiq dekhe hain

thak gae ho Safar see bahut,kuch pal door duniya daari se rakho
hausle Karo majboot aur Safar jaari rakho

mahfil Saji ho ya tanhai se bhara ho maikhana
aankho mein hamesha khumaari rakho

kuch apne Hain kuch parae, kuch parae apne to kuch apne parae
ankhen kholo aur kuch nazre bhi sawali rakho

ho sakti Hain galtiyan kabhi kuch apno se bhi
apne jhole mein kuch maafinaame rakho


nafrato ki dhoop bahut baras rahi hai Bahar
pyaar ki pyaas bujhaane ko kuch ishq e majazi bhi rakho


hai andhera faila har taraf raaho mein
kuch jugnuo ko bhi apne kaase mein rakho

aur, agar musafir ho to naap lo ye duniya
par apne nakshe mein nishaan kuch musafirkhaane k bhi rakho

Yun to bahut accha khaane ki taufeeq ata ki hai mere maula ne
Kuch madad ham bhi ek gareeb ki Kar dete hain
Ki kha lete Hain kabhi kisi thele se,
Ham Ameer Nazar se khana nhi dundhte hain

Rang badle unke aise
Ki maun (chup) sabhi circus k kalakaar ho gae
Aur, kuch to baat hai is satta ki Kursi mein
Kisi farishte ko mile to uske bhi iraade naapak ho gae

Etihaas ho ya sarkaar ho sacchi honi chahie
Geet ho ya Sher ho mahfil jamni chahie
Aur Zindagi nikaal di kaamyabi ki khak chaanne mein
Ab to paani ho ya shraab ho bas thandi honi chahie

Veer Ras k beech Mai kabhi shringaar dhundhne jaata hu
Jal chuke khaton k beech Mai kabhi raakh dhundhne jaata hu
Aur yun to kaafi duur aagae Hain ham ishq ki dahleez see
Magar ab bhi apne khwabon mein main tumhari tasveer dhundhne jaata hu
