Zindgi ki raah hi kuch aisi hai
Jab chaho thodi si rahat
Tabhi pairon me kaante chubhte hai
Jab chaho pana kisiki mohabbat
Tabhi aankhon se aansoo behte hai

Kyun rona zindgi ke is badalte roop mein
Kyun nahi jeete zindgi jaisi hai
Zindgi beete kabhi chaaon to kabhi dhoop mein
Kyun nahi maante ki zindgi bas aisi hi hai

Rone se kahan kisiko kuch mila hai
Jo kismat mein hai wahi to milta hai
Chahe rakho tum lakh umeedein
Jab jo hona hai tab wahi hota hai

Zindgi jo jeena hai tumko
To har gham gale se lagana hoga
Khushiyon ko jo manana hai tumko
Gham ke bawander se kinare jana hoga

Zindgi usko maane aur salaam kare
Jo gham haath pe lekar chalte hain
Kehte hai na 'Khuda uski hi madad kare
Jo apni madad khud karte hain

ek din yoonhi
raah se gujarte samay
hryday ko mousam ki
umangon se bharte samay
achaanak maine dekha
ek jvalamukhi ko bhabhakete hue
parvat samaan aakaar ko
svayam se samgharsh karte hue

Main hairaan si ruk gayee
kuch samajhene ke prayatn mein
Us vishaalkaay per
shaayad hansene ke prayatn mein
kal garvaanvit jo parvat tha
kitna laachaar sa kharaa tha
apaar agni hryday mein liye
besahara sa jal rahaa tha

Main hansene hi lagi thi
ki achanak aawaz suni
-'hansanaa chahete ho mujh per
samajh mujhe jvalamukhi
dhyaan se dekho jara
kya hai mera astitv
koi jvalamukhi nahin
Naari hai mera vyaktitv

Maine asamanjas se dekha
woh peedit naari ka hryday tha
samaaj dwara shoshit, us per
dukhon ka hi marhum tha
chubhe the, teekhe taanon ke
nukeele kaante chahun ore se
bah rahaa tha dard
hryday ke her kore se

sah na paayee jab
phereni chaahi apni drishti
hans ke bola hryday
arey! yeh tumhari hi hai srishti
Ab ghabraate ho kyon
Ho jaao tum 'garvaanvit'
Anupam apni is kriti per
kar do apna naam bhi ankit

Iti ho chuki thi ab
meri sahanshakti ki
kyon thukeraayee gayee woh
kareni jiseki bhakti thi
yeh sochte anjaane mein
kuch aansoon mere bah nikele
hans ker bola hryday-Arey
tum bade bhaagyavaan nikele!

ek aah bhari au' bola
hamen to rone ki agya na thi
hamare liye dayaa ho jahaan
kahin aisi koi bhasha na thi
nayaa dard karta tha
puraane per dawa ka kaam
hamare liye nahin tha
pyaar jaisa koi naam

'Ek baar yaad hai mujhe
jab sisekene lagaa tha main
apne dard ke ghaawon se
swat: hi pisene laga tha main
achaanak tumene hi aaker
dhar dabocha tha mujhe
koi prataadit jeev nahi
shayad patthar socha tha mujhe

apni laachari dekh ker
chup ho gayaa tha main
aansooyon ko sametker
jaise so gayaa tha main
per aankhon me krodh tha
neend nahi aati thi
andhere ker sab ore se
aansoon main bahaati thi

Haan! yeh ek abla hai
kamjor ek naari hai
sehati hai jo her dukh
per awaaz nahi uthaati hai
prithvi ki sajeev pratima hai
lava jisme bhayanker hai
ugalati nahin ise kintu
yahi mujhme aur tum me antar hai

na aar hai yahaan
na hai yahaan paar
charon taraf kewal
faila hai andhkaar
bhaagete firete hue
her manushya yahaan
pahunchena chaheta hai
per na jaane kahaan?

Prashn chinh bani
khari hai her raah
kaanton ke saaye mein
chhupi hain her chaah
phir bhi chalata hai
her ik manushya
aankhon mein sajaaker
ek sunehara bhavishya

Satya se hota hai
jab uska sakshatkaar
khokar santulan vah
kareta hain chitkaar
Haan!yahee hai satya
yahee hai parajay

Ret ke mahal sum
hai har vijay
hawaa ke jhonke se
jo toot jayega
Avsheshon ke alawa
kuch bhi na rah paayega

A ghost takes me away form here
In a place where I can't hear
When all locked me out of they're souls
To be left, to fend alone the goals

Begin a new life in another way
Is no reason, what do you got to lose?
Stop the time anytime any day
You didn't have from where to choose.

Let go away the most messed memories
Push out of life you're greatest enemies
Lost for eternity life for a new beginning
Wake up and find out your real meaning

Chhoti si zindagi hai takrar kisliye
Rahe dilon mein divar kisliye
Hai saath kuchh dino ka
Fir sab juda juda
Raahon mein hum bichhaein
Fir shool kisliye

They said, "You are good as good could be
And cannot be otherwise, you see !"

At ten, I went late to school, and my teacher said, "Why this delay?"
I wanted to tell a lie that I had sprained my leg.
But being branded good I had no words to choose but utter the truth
"Sir, I got up late."
And my teacher said "You are so honest!"

They said, "You are good as good could be !
And cannot be otherwise, you see !"

At thirteen, my dad lost a hundred from his purse
He ransacked the house and out came from his lips, curse after curse
For everyone in the house, but, for me he had no words
I owned it up and he said "See, you cannot hold it long
Since you are so very true."

They said, "You are good as good could be !
And cannot be otherwise, you see !"

At seventeen, my mirth knew no bounds
Watching the pairs go hand in hand in the grounds.
Some one said, "How can an angel like you bear the devils like those?"
Taking the caution, like a holy saint I did pose.

They said, "You are good as good could be !
And cannot be otherwise, you see !"

I glowed in the pride of my goodness throughout.
Till the warmth of it grew to a scorch so hot.
I simmered ,I sizzled, I tanned and I burnt.
Till one day, I longed not to be good,
because being always good didn't do me any good!

Still they said, "You are good as good could be !
And cannot be otherwise, you see !"

On my death bed, I wished to go to hell, and see what do the bad do there,
Down came the angels and took me instead to heaven
And made me watch the bad from those heights
They said, "Your thought did not match with your deed
So you are good indeed!"
And I rested assured that I am good and I CANNOT BE OTHERWISE
