zulm ki raat bahut jald talegi ab to
aag chuulhon mein har ik roz jalegi ab to
bhuuk ke maare koi bachcha nahin royega
chain ki neend har ik shakhs yahaan soyega
aandhi nafrat ki chalegi na kahin ab ke baras
pyaar ki fasal ugegi zameen par ab ke baras
haan yahan ab na koi shor-sharaba hoga
zulm hoga na kahin khoon-kharaba hoga
us aur dhoop ke sadme na sahega koi
ab mere desh mein beghar na rahega koi
naye vaadon ka jo dala hai vo jaal achchha hai
rehnumaon ne kaha hai ke ye saal achchha hai
dil ke khush rakhne ko ghalib ye khayaal achchha hai

manzil thee dur or hum thye majboor
tanha thye hum zindgi k safar mein
k dariya se zaada aankhen thee num
raastye lambye or un par ajnabi se hum
dur tak manzil ka koi neesha na tha
to kaise aatye sahil pe hum
k is lambye safar mein musafir thye hum
musafir thye hum....

har pal har roz yaad aata tha koi
in num palkho ko do pal ki khushi de jaata tha koi
kartye bhi kya bas yuhi tadapte thye har pal
us khushi ka intzaar daaman mein liye rote thye har pal
or kartye bhi kya
ke is lambe safar mein musafir the hum
musafir thye hum....

shaam hotye hi dil ko sukun aata tha
k in aankon ko subah ka intzaar nazar aata tha
par jab subah ka suraj aasmaan mein aata tha
shaam ka intzaar fir shuru ho jaata tha
or kartye bhi kya
k is lambye safar mein musafir thye hum
musafir thye hum....

Life is a match
Torch flames of love
Play with words, homonym
Game football, ball that roll.
Lottery wins, boss to convince
Party, dance, wedding attend.
Job application, take assignment
Pass MBA, to qualify - is efficient.
Project research, good management
Hatch to breed, poultry farming's
Computer experts
Indians, in continent east
CD ROM, soft hard discs
Sing and jive, discotheques
Box office hits, sell tickets-
Stick for life, no partings
Watch birds, bird watching
Angry bull, shortcomings
Star constellations
Of zodiac signs,
Life is a match of
Destined destinations-
Take it with a pinch
Of salt, light or heavy weight
Life's short list not without a match.

Everything to Me
You are the light when there is no sun
You are the rainbow after the rain is done
You are the star that twinkles in the night
You are the moon that glows so bright
You are the wind that whistles my name
You are the love when the world is the same
You are the flowers the bee's never miss
You are the beach the warm sun kisses

Kehkashan muskurati ye keh gayi hame dastan,
jise humne suna tha muskurake.
Keh to woh bahot rahi thi hum ne na suna,
jo hum ne suna wo kisi ne na jana.
Haste tarane the gham ke fasnae the,
kehna tha usko kuch humne kuch aur suna.
Hum jite hai is tarha koi mane ya na mane,
jiyenge is tarha na aane denge kisi ki ankhon mein nami.

We all have room to grow,
and every day there's
much to learn.
We can only bloom
when we know
that what we sow
is what we earn.
We must plant a garden
deep inside,
and work hard
to make it thrive,
for when it's in full bloom,
its blossoms
will bear joy and pride.
We can enjoy life
and have some fun;
we can spend some time
basking in the sun,
but to our dreams,
we must be dedicated too,
before the unique gifts
God gave us
can break ground
and shine through.
We must not count
every broken promise,
nor should we chain
another's soul.
We should never depend
on others
in order to feel whole.
Instead, we must look inside
to recognize our own worth,
and all we can do
with the knowledge
that our garden
can sprout and grow,
because dreams do come true.
