Subah Jo Naa Ho

Log toh hai chaaro aour
Phir tanhayee see kyun hai laage
Jo maanga woh toh mila
Phir udasi see kyun hai laage

Kya chahe ye dil
Woh usse bhi naa hai pataa
Aise mein dimaag kaise chale
Aie rabb tu hee bataa

Roshni ki chakaa-choun mein
Jaise khade ho Surdas
Patri se utri hai gaadi
Aisa bhalaa kyun aabhaas

Bachhpann ki woh yaadein
Jawaani ka woh josh
Bade hokar kya hai mila
Neend ka nahin aaghosh

Boj toh hai bohout
Ek kandheka nahin aasraa
Palat gayee hai baazi poori
Jaise zindagi ne pheka doosra

Kapdon ki iss nagri mein
Hum nange hee hai chale
Aahista se saamne humaare
Suraj ki roshni hai dhale

Na chandrama na laaltein ki roshni
Raat ke andhera ka nahin darr
Vidhi ka vidhaan jo jaye toot
Subah jo naa ho agar...

Some right, some wrong...

Picture Source:Random email Fwd
With time on hand and a blackberry for company

Life is like a stream
ever so often, it meanders along
we do what we have to do
some right and some wrong

Judged we are by our actions
the context never to be seen
care one should not of the world
as long as hearts are clean

Some of it black some of it white
most of it is full of grey
we remain true to ourselves
that's for all we pray

Listen to your heart
do what the head has to say
and you will live long and happy
not at war with self all day

The heart yet has its way
plays it havoc every other time
lest you let it get its way
You will pay for that dime

Self redemption is easy
second chances come few and far
the head slept in peace
the heart walked to the bar

So choose your steps carefully
think of what you do
not that village bumpkin in town
the one that has no clue...

Somethings never get old...

With time on hand and a blackberry for company


the child in her mothers eyes
the story of timeless laughs
the curry that nani made
a story that she always told

the pictures of us together
laughing loud, smiling wide
etched on rock, not in sand
unaffected by the tide

reflect and recollect
of times of the yore
watching the setting sun
sitting on the shore

Somethings are like good wine
they age, and age they well
and while they do age
they never do get old...

The Tingling Charm

With time on hand and a blackberry for company

You just do not do it
When you don't feel like it
You just will look away
When you don't feel like it

Do that what you want
And not what you can
Do something different
And not what's the plan

Think of your self
Remember your dream
For no one else will
As selfish as this may seem

Always have a plan
Just don't stick to it
Do something different
Just go right for it

Life is not that long
Go chart some unknown path
In just toeing that straight line
Where is the tingling charm
