kya ummeed kare hum unse jin ko vafa maalum nahin
gham dena maalum hai lekin gham ki dava maalum nahin
jin ki gali mein umr ganva di jeevan bhar hairaan rahe
paas bhi aake paas na aaye jaan ke bhi anjaan rahe
kaun si aakhir ki thi humne aisi khata maalum nahin
ai mere paagal armaanon jhuuthe bandhan tod bhi do
ai meri zakhmii ummidon dil ka daaman chhod bhi do
tumko abhi is nagari mein jeene ki ada maalum nahin

Came as first, came to live
Born in feb, the day so nice
School they go, lo! they come
A life they chose to teach and live.

Lost at home, all home alone
Grew up in mass, but less at heart
To pat, to hug, to cuddle and love
Cried my heart but all in vain.

Money they made all day and night
It went and came, all same again
Money and love can’t sail as one
The one they chose had left me null.

Pains and wounds are pals for life
Still stalks and now with arms full stretched
A life so short to spend on soil
With parents alive but dead at heart.

kyaa hua tera har ik roz mujhe khat likhna
aur khat mein dil-e-betaab ki haalat likhna

meri khatir shab-e-furqat mein na sona tera
meri yaadon mein pareshaan sa hona tera
aur phir khat mein shab-e-hijr ki baabat likhna
kya hua tera har ik roz mujhe khat likhna

vo sar-e-shaam khayalon mein mere kho jana
aur phir khud hi tera sharam-saar sa yun ho jana
vo akele mein mujhe pyaar bhara khat likhna
kya hua tera har ik roz mujhe khat likhna

kis liye tod diye tune sabhi ahad-e-wafa
kya hue vaade mohabbat ke bata kuchh to bata
kis liye chhod diya tune mujhe khat likhna
kya hua tera har ik roz mujhe khat likhna

dil jalega to zamane mein ujala hoga
husn zarron ka sitaron se nirala hoga
kaun jaane ye mohabbat ki saza hai ke sila
hum kinare pe bhi pahunche to kinara na mila
bujh gaya chaand kisi dard bhare dil ki tarah
raat ka rang abhi aur bhi kala hoga
dekhna royegi fariyaad karegi duniya
hum na honge to hamein yaad karegi duniya
apne jeene ki ada bhi anokhi sab se
apne marne ka bhi andaaz nirala hoga

mujhe bhulanewale tujhe bhi chain na aaye
tu bhi jaage, tu bhi tadpe, tu bhi neer bahaye
baadal garaje bijli chamke tadap tadap reh jaye
patjhad aaye chhae udasi man mein aag lagaye
tu bhi inko yaad kare aur thaam ke dil reh jaye
armanon ka mahal banake aap hi tune tod diya
ek suhana geet sunaya
meri neendein cheen li tune aise khwaab dikhaye
jab bhi saawan lekar aaye pyaar bhari barsaaton ko
yaad kare tu baithake tanha saath guzaari raaton ko
meri tarah tere man mein bhi barkhaa aag lagaye

Castles we mounted together all eve
Soaked my feet, she teased me wet
Zephyr, the sunset and sea birds all
"Earth" her sobriquet she’s home to all.
Chaste no more and limbs severed
Shook with grief she trembled in fear
Fate we brought to her these days
Cold we left her arms to stray.
Tears rolled out, pains galore
Poured it flowed, out of the brim
Came and left in all one wink
To fill up nostrils, to empty all breaths.
Castle I lost, cries all place
Screams and yells are still in air
Knees were weak to move or start
Help, help, help was what I heard.
Kind was her but to me alone
Swept ashore, in one full wave
Came to know the truth so late
For never would dad and mom return.
