Kaatna kuch aur hota hai, boya kuch aur hai hota

Koi kare bhi to kya kare,

hamse bhi to koi kaam

theek se nahin hota,

kaatna kuch aur hota hai,

boya kuch aur hai hota.

Passion

Passion is a wild horse,

reign it and run it in race courses,

for you it will win races,

leave it as it is,

and it will run madly into wilderness 

destroying itself and everything in its path

resulting in grievances and losses.

Khushi se chaahe mar jaayein, ghutt ghutt ke na jeeya jaaye

Khushi se chaahe mar jaayein, ghutt ghutt ke jeeya na jaaye.

The Prophet : Jealousy

Jealousy is nothing,
but your soul's call for perfection,
the direction for your own quest,
the chaos and negativity created
by the anguish of unfulfilled seeking.

and when you see someone who has
achieved and completed the course of run,
which in your heart you are always aiming for,
much before and in better manner than you,
all the negative energies get directed towards them.

but worry not it stems from the positive virtues
of admiration, adoration and the desire to
follow and walk in the steps of the
great masters and the ideals,
all one needs to do is to leave the ego
and look with an eye of humility

In fact be glad that you have found
someone of whom you are jealous, you can now
seek directions and learn from the
master, avoid the mistakes they made
on their way and be assured that
and glad that soon you will be on the
path which always have been hazy and uncertain.

And fear not of asking them,
the great people are truly humble
and kind, they know the only person worth
competing and surpassing is themselves
and deep in their hearts and thoughts
they are always looking to pass on
their virtues to someone worthy.

Pihlaan sochda si main kihde main raah te jaavan

With dedication to the Ranjha of Heer Ranjha...And to Waris Shah for penning it so beautifully....

Pihlaan sochda si main kihde main raah te jaavan,

teriaan paidaan noon chummada chummda aavan,
Pihlaan sochda si main kihde main raah te jaavan....

Mainu diss paye ne dooron hi tere dil dariyaaa de kinaare,

ho toon banega zindgi te zindgi taithon banegi,
ho main pyaar te ishq de geet gaunda gaunda aavan,
Pihlaan sochda si main kihde main raah te jaavan....

The Prophet : On giving

If you give,
with the desire of getting something back,
give not,
for you are giving a burden to the other person,
and creating a hole in your soul,
which must be filled by the return,
or get covered with the mud of resentment,

give,
when your soul is so moved with pity or love,
that your hearts cup is overflowing with joy or compassion,
that you are not able to contain it,
then go,
and pour it into the other person's cup,
for that is what your soul's desire is,
and the receiver too will know that he can keep it.

Lain den ne kitta piya khraab sab

Lain den ne kitta piya khraab sab,

He only can love truly

A slight desire of want
crushes all the love,
he only can love truly
whose only want is to give.

Ye jo kaam ibaadat sa hai

Ye jo kaam ibaadat sa hai,
ye kisi keemat ke liye nahin hota,
ye jo kaam ibaadat sa hai,
kisi ke khene pe nahin hota,
ye zindgi se shuru huaa thaa,
ye zindgi pe hi khatam hoga.

Badi mushkil se dil ko is mukaam pe laaya hoon

Badi mushkil se dil ko is mukaam pe laaya hoon,
ke khokar bas apne aap mein hi reh sakoon,
ab mujhe koi aake faani mohabbat ke dilaase na de,
main jahan hoon, bada khush hoon, chain se hoon.

Ibaadat ka kabhi koi waqt nahin hota

Ibaadat ka kabhi koi waqt nahin hota,
do pal yaad kiya aur phir bhool jaana,
yoon kabhi mukammal ishq nahin hota,
pal pal har pal beete jo yaad usi ki mein,
maqbool uske dar pe bas wahi hai hota.

Kehat kabiraa sun lo baat, pata nahin company kab takk de saath

Kehat kabiraa sun lo baat, pata nahin company kab takk de saath,
din mein kaam karo, raat ko araam karo, aur shaam bitao piya ke saath.

Ye duniaa saudebaazi, company ek vyopari, na hmaari na tumhaari,
kaam karo par dil na lgaao isse, pata nahin,kab kisko maare ye laat.

Wo jisne hai baazi lgaayi, uski jo marzi wahi galat wahi sahi,
matt uske saath kabhi uljo jiske haath tumhaari sheh aur maat.

apne hunar aur fun ko tarshate raho, jitna ho sake sab ke saath gaho,
hai andher badi man ki gali chalte raho lekar deepak sapan ka haath.

Chaaha kuch bhi nahin, maanga bhi kuch bhi nahin

Chaaha kuch bhi nahin, maanga bhi kuch bhi nahin,
bas apna aap dena chaaha, hua naseeb wo bhi nahin.

And the same old story repeats

This is not the place, where you use your mind
here too all you need to do is talk, find and grind.

Kashish e yaar jehan se jaati nahin

Dedicated to Baba Bulleh Shah, trying to conjure what his state and thoughts might be when Inaayat shah disowned and abandoned him...

Kashish e yaar jehan se jaati nahin,
tujhe bhool jaaon wo subah aati nahin,

ye khumar ye khumar badta hi jaa raha,
chaahe maye ab pyaale mein baaki nahin,

teri inaayat se huae hain bande se qalandar,
teri berukhi bhi ab dil dukhaati nahin,

main sajde karta rehta hoon jaise too saamne,
jaane tere takk koi aati bhi ke nahin,

main gaz gaz zameen ka dhoondunga tumhein,
mujhe safar ki phikar koi staati nahin,

jo roothe ho to phir se mnaa loonga,
mnaane ki tarteeb chaahe mujhe aati nahin,

main tumhaara aur tum phir se mere,
ab maksad-e-manzil koi aur meri hyaati nahin.

khushi yahaan nahin rehti

Bauhat darwaazon pe dastak di talaash mein maine uski,

har baar lauta hoon mayoos hoke ke khushi yahaan nahin rehti.

kyon bnaaya bande ko is tarah ke kisi ka mohtaz hona pade

Kal dekha baagh mein har phool mukuraata hua khil raha,
hawa, roshni, paani sab ko apne apne hisse ka mil raha,
kyon bnaaya bande ko is tarah ke kisi ka mohtaz hona pade?

Chann cheti cheti aaya kar, chann cheti cheti jaaya kar

Chann cheti cheti aaya kar,
chann cheti cheti jaaya kar,
suraj noon vi dayi suneha,
buhati der naa toon vi laaya kar,

saada dil agg hizar di de vich
waang kbaab piya bhujjda e,
is rog da koi daaru nahin,
jihde vi tabeeb kolon puchdan e,

hun kise paaseyon koi umeed nahin
tusion hi bano dardmand da shara,
cheti cheti paar langa umra de sarvar
meriaana aahan noon karo ve chaara.

Zindgi hai sirf ek baar, aur galti ki koi gunjaaish nahin

Kisi bhi raste pe chalein, har ek pe dar sa laga rehta hai,
zindgi hai sirf ek baar, aur galti ki koi gunjaaish nahin.

Jaane de nahin sunta to naa sahi

Jaane de nahin sunta to naa sahi,
ye sabak use waqt sikha de ga kabhi,

Tum khud hi phirte ho kuch chuninda logon mein

Tum khud hi phirte ho kuch chuninda logon mein,

aur phir shikayat ke koi doosra milta kyon nahin,

agar duniaa se hai chaah to duniaa se rabtaa kar,

ho tum khaas to kya aam to yahan koi bhi nahin.

Fursat mein pareshani, masroofiyat mein dil ravan hai

Matt pucho aaj kal aaram kab aur chain kahaan hai,
fursat mein pareshani, masroofiyat mein dil ravan hai,

Ye zindgi kisi ki amaanat hai

Saans saans chalti hai unki ijaajat,
hum apni  bhi sun nahin sakte,
ye zindgi kisi ki amaanat hai,
koi fainsla khud se kar nahin sakte,
wo chaahange jab tak rehna hoga,
apni marzi se mar nahin sakte.

Safar koi aur manjil koi aur chaahein

Saare galat raston pe khud leke gaye,
ab puchte khan tum ho bhatak gaye,
bade ajeeb log hain is maayanagri ke,
safar koi aur manjil koi aur chaahein.

Kuch aur bhi kaam karo 'jogi'

In baaton ke hwaai kilon ka baajar mein koi daam nahin milta,
kuch aur bhi kaam karo 'jogi', shaayri se choola nahin jalta.

Zindgi mujhe chaahe gumnaam hi kahin dafan kar dena

Zindgi mujhe chaahe gumnaam hi kahin dafan kar dena,

bas shohrat ke liye agar kahin bhatak jaaon to sambhal lena.

Hamesha hasta hi rahoon, main bhi koi butt naa hoon

Fikar na karo, ke aaj kyon giraa diye do aansoon,
hamesha hasta hi rahoon, main bhi koi butt naa hoon.

Mehfil pe abhi koi parda na giraaye

Mehfil pe abhi koi parda na giraaye,
ye sune palon ki tanhaayi sahi na jaaye,

koi jashan ho waahan hamein le chalo,
akele kamre mein aaj jee ghabraaye,

apno ki gadiyon pe waqt koi badal de,
deri ki wajah se koi uthke naa jaaye,

koi baith meri dhadkanon ka geet sune,
koi baith apni bas aaj kehta hi jaaye,

kyon jaroori hai uth ke phir akele hona,
aankh lagne takk to koi saath nibhaaye,

Mehfil pe abhi koi parda na giraaye...

Do tarah ke logon pe koi dawa,koi duaa asar nahin karti

Do tarah ke logon pe koi dawa,
        koi duaa asar nahin karti,
                ek jo theek ho nahin sakte,
                        ek jo theek hona nahin chaahte.

Eh garibi eh muflisi vi bauhat changi hai yaaro

Eh garibi eh muflisi vi bauhat changi hai yaaro,

hamesha rakhdi niva ke badi khoob tangi hai yaaro,

Eina kujj kol hai hi nahin ke koi aib paal sakiye,

aape hi sab cheez te laa ke rakhdi pabandi hai yaaro,

Kamm roj hi jee tod bada hai karna painda,

rakhdi chust na hon dindi sehat eh mandi hai yaaro,

Ghar hai nikk jiha bas javan hi lod hai jinni ku,

binaa phire kone kone di nigahbandi hai yaaro,

hor kujj hai nahin bass mohabbat wandde rahida,

duniaa de naal vi ise karke khoob bandi hai yaaro,

Eh garibi eh muflisi vi bauhat changi hai yaaro...

Chiraagon ki tarah jal ke ghar auron ke roshan karna

Zindgi yahi hai, aur kuch bhi nahin is mein samajhna,
chiraagon ki tarah jal ke ghar auron ke roshan karna.

How to make someone fall in love

First catch someone's eye,
then at heart make a strike,
then pass the judging mind,
with the colours flying,
now you know how to
make someone fall in love
go and give a try.

Sab nazar ka dhokha hai

Aur is duniaa se kya chaahna,
Aur is duniaa se kya maangna,
jab ye jaan hi liya hai,
sab nazar ka dhokha hai.

Gusse se bada darta hoon

Taash ke patton ke ghar se
hote hain gharonde chaahat ke,
mere haathon se kabhi koi toote
khuda mujhe ye saja na de,

        isi liye

Gusse se bada darta hoon,
jinke ke liye khaab
dekhta hoon jaan dene ke,
unka dil dukhaa bhi sakta hoon,

       ho sake

to khuda ye karam kare
isse pehle koi baat karoon aisi
meri jubaan pe lgaa ke taale
aankhein mohabbat se nam kar de.

Jugalbandi with Ashutosh my side

Mujhe aaj kal log ishq ka peer kehte hain,
ranjha ranjha nahin saare heer kehte hain,
humne jo paa liaa jo mukaam ishq mein,
log hum se ab is safar ke mashware lete hain.

----------------

Haalat e dil kuch dino se ajab si ho gayi hai,
gair ab yahan koi lagta hi nahin hai,

dard kisi ka bhi duniaa mein dekha nahin jaata,
dushman ko bhi khaali haath lota nahin paata,

gamm sab ke mere hisse mein aa jaaye,
khushi meri auron ke rabb se yahin duaae,

aur kya sochein kaun accha kaun bura hai,
Zarre zarre mein lagta ab to khuda hai.
-----------------

Mohabbatein duniaa mein yoon nibhaa,
usi se katal hoke usi ka haal puchta jaa.

Zubaan ko see ke chala jaata hai

Bauhat kuch jee mein aata hai,aur dil kehna bhi chaahta hai,
par aata hai jo tera naam, zubaan ko see ke chala jaata hai.

Adab seekhna hai to urdu waalon se seekhiye

Adab seekhna hai to urdu waalon se seekhiye,
baaki sab saaman chaahe jahan se marzi liziye.

Jugalbandi transcript (my side)

Written on the spot during a jugalbandi with Ashutosh

Kitaabein jo main aksar hi padhta rehta hoon,
us tajurbe ke hwaale se tumhein ye kheta hoon,
Jaroori nahin saari kitaab hi khraab ho,
Kya pata ho age khushi ikk panna aur palat lo.

Wo jo dhoondta phire koi aur wo aisa hai hi nahin,
wo mar to jaayega par kise aur ka hoke jeeyega nahin.

Kisi ki yaad mein jhumte chale jaate hain,
kisi ke pyaar mein roj nagme gaate hain,
wo humdum mera, wo humsafar mera,
zindgi hum to usi ke khayaal mein bitaate hain.

Maine duaa maangi thi jo wo kabool ho gayi,
meri chaahat aaj uske dar pe maqbool ho gayi,
har lamha lamha ab to ikk nayi zindgi hai,
hyaat kya baatein ikk khilta hua phool ho gayi.

Main usko jeet laaya hoon kismat ko hraa ke,
saare zmaane ko apna dushman bnaa ke,
accha hua jo rabb nahin aaya hmaare beech,
warna wo bhi jaata apni khudaai gwaa ke.

Wo jis se chaah thi inti ki pal bhi na hatti thi nazar,
waqt ne yoon kar diye faansle us ke haal se bhi bekhabar.

Throw a man everytime a rope to climb

Throw a man every time
a rope to climb,
guaranteed soon you will
find him in a pit,
where a ladder hidden,
in plain sight he cant' find.

He who does not follows what the doctor says

He who does not follows
what the doctor says,
with his life he pays.

So i left and made my own way

Who wants to play a level down,
or keep on being the same,
everybody wants to raise their game,
but they wanted to do it their way,
so I left and made my own way.

I told them it is not working out,
money is not what it's all about,
to me work means a lot of things,
right now it's not at all fulfilling,
waiting long, patience gave away,
so I left and made my own way.

It felt like saturation and stagnation,
like a same old song on radio station,
I wanted to thrust into something new,
something bigger i wanted to pursue,
but i was a mere actor in a larger play,
so I left and made my own way.

i have heard the prophets and preachers,
the coaches and the motivational speakers,
if you want to be the best and seek joy,
put your head too where your heart is o boy,
and i chose to listen to my calling that day,
so I left and made my own way.

The world may never be a perfect place

The world was never a perfect place,
the world may never be a perfect place,
but it has the will to improve and it is
moving in that direction at its own pace.

After fighting, killing and oppressing
each other for centuries and centuries
it has learnt finally the values of peace
and treating each other with grace,
the world may never be a perfect place...

While earlier religion and politics held strong
in its claws, declared whatever suited it as laws,
science is rationalizing its thought process and
opening vistas to new and new space,
the world may never be a perfect place...

Though some oldies says it were their days,
I believe more in the tomorrow's unseen plays,
confident that with the passage of time
the earth will have a better and smarter race,
the world may never be a perfect place...

But it does not dies

I try to suppress it,
i have tried burying it,
i have tried killing it,
i keep on running from it,
but it does not dies,
everytime it grows back,
everytime it finds,
me and throws back
me into the times
which i want to forget
the memories of which
make me feel sad
the affair which
makes me feel upset.

Toffiyon ke yaar panno pe naa jaa

Thinking about lifes of everybody

Toffiyon ke yaar panno pe naa jaa,

Exercise well, eat good, be hydrated, sleep tight

O! the slave of Dopamine and Serotonin,
understand the world and its schemes,

it does not always have the best interests of you,
more than often for its greed it wants to exploit you,

all the taverns, the pubs and the city bars,
of your liver the biggest enemies they are,

let not the smoke rings make you feel stung,
for trying to emulate is gonna choke your lungs,

be careful of your fizz water and fast food cravings,
they too hasten the order for your tombstone engravings,

keep on every pickings a check and make a fight,
exercise well, eat good, be hydrated, sleep tight.

Motiyon Ki Keemat

Hum nahin sochte ye
ke baazar mein motiyon ki
kon kyaa keemat dega,
hum to befikar
waqt ke dariyaa mein,
bhaate chale jaate hain,
bas ye soch kar ke
kabhi jo kisi ko milega
to use sukoon dega.

Roj roj ho jo to kya hi ki baat lagti hai

Roj roj ho jo to kya hi ki baat lagti hai,
dil bhi na khush zubaan bhi thakti hai,

boriyat si lagti hai jaise din raat din raat,
ghadi ki tikk tikk si pareshan karti hai,

bauhat jaada barse to lagti hai aafat,
kabhi kabhi ho to acchi barsaat lagti hai,

har waqt hi saji rahe kuch lagta na khaas,
bada dil khush hota tyohar pe jo basti sajti hai,

milna pade roj to ban jaata hai kaam,
kuch waqt ke baad suhaani mulakat lagti hai,

isi liye kuch fanslaa kuch doori bhi rakho,
milne ki tadap se hi chaahat zor pakadti hai.

A storm is brewing in the pacific

There are dark clouds all over the city,
the winds are gushing down the streets,
a few have lost leaves, a few branches
all over trees are trembling with grieve,

the waves are retreating from the shore,
the ships are all tied down at harbor,
birds are migrating to the lands abroad,
the song of cuckoo is heard no more,

dogs are sitting dim in the backyards,
frogs and toads are swamping the roads,
the pigs are howling in distant farms,
everywhere there are swarms of ant's,

the hearts of children are filled with fear,
middle aged are in prayer, young in tears,
the rescue teams have started scouting,
the old man knows and he is shouting,

brace! brace! brace! brace dear fellas
a bullet from the barrel of sea is gona hit,
brace! brace! brace! brace dear fellas,
a storm is brewing in the pacific.

Pata hi nahin chalta mohabbat mein safar kab kat jaata hai

Pata hi nahin chalta mohabbat mein safar kab kat jaata hai,
din kab nikalta hai, din kab dhal jaata hai,

raaste kitne bhi mushkil hon, manzil ein kitni bhi door hon,
kisi se milne ki chaah mein sab faasla tey ho jaata hai,

phir naa paaon ke chaale dukhte, na dhoop bhi chubhti hai,
haste haste kisi ki yaad mein dil sab sehta jaata hai,

aur laakh chaahe ho andheri raat, roshni na ho koi suraag,
koi apni aankhon ke chiraagon se raste roshan karta jaata hai.

Pata hi nahin chalta mohabbat mein safar kab kat jaata hai,
din kab nikalta hai, din kab dhal jaata hai...

Chand sikkon liye sir jhukaa doon

Haste haste jaan bhi lutaa doon,
tu mujhe koi aisi wajah to de,
chand sikkon liye sir jhukaa doon,
accha hai veham jo dil se nikaal hi de.

Tu mujhe koi aisi wajah to de

Haste haste jaan bhi lutaa doon,
tu mujhe koi aisi wajah to de,

sholon pe chalke jaaon nagne paaon,
tu mujhko mohabbat sa nasha to de,

kaanton kaa taaj pehn loon shonk se,
mere haath kisi marz ki shafa to de,

kab nahin qurbaan huaa main ishq mein,
are mujhe koi badle mein wafa to de,

Haste haste jaan bhi lutaa doon,
tu mujhe koi aisi wajah to de.

Waqt ke haathon pita hoon

Waqt ke haathon pita hoon,
wajeer hoke shatranj kaa,

naa kisi ne chingari sulgayi
chirag banke kone mein tika hoon,
Waqt ke haathon pita hoon...

dhool mujh se kisi ne jara si htaayi
chamak meri mujhe thi nazar aayi,
par naa mila koi johri jo parakh le
sheesha ho ke bazar mein bikaa hoon,
Waqt ke haathon pita hoon...

aur khaab jo meri aankhon ne dekhe the
ikk ikk sahi aankh mein utraa thaa,
par bhatakta raha raste manzil ke,
rehbaron ki kami se sabse judaa hoon,
Waqt ke haathon pita hoon...

Aap se kuch kaha bhi nahin jaata

Aap se kuch kaha bhi nahin jaata,

dil to karta hai yeh samjhaane kaa,
par jo kuch kaha to naraz ho jaaoge,
tumhaare khafa ho jaane se khauf hai aata,
aap se kuch kaha bhi nahin jaata...

ke jis raste pe zidd pakde nikle ho,
saraab si hain us raste pe manzilein,
jee to jaata hai tumhaara veham todoon,
par tumhaare tootne se dil hai kapkapaata,
aap se kuch kaha bhi nahin jaata...

aankhon mein namin chehre pe maayosi,
jaanta hoon chot kahan se khaake aaye so,
isko tum yoon hal karo kehne ko jee karta,
par kaha to kahoge chup nahin baitha jaata,
aap se kuch kaha bhi nahin jaata...

तमाशा बन गए हैं बाज़ार में

तमाशा बन गए हैं बाज़ार में,
किसी को मुफलिसी न परवरदिगार दे,

बुहत दाना थे कुछ रोज पहले,
निकम्मा बना दिया इस रोजगार ने,

पहले छत्त ना थी अब नींद नहीं,
सोचें कब हम जायदा लाचार थे,

जो चाहे साहिब चाल चलता है,
कौन पूछे मर्ज़ी इस कारोबार में,

ना मोहरे की ज़िन्दगी न मोहरे की मौत,
हमारी बात तक नहीं कोई दरबार में ,

कठपुतली की तरह चाहे जितना नचा हमको,
ओ बनाने वाले दिल, समझ, अरमान ना दे,

तमाशा बन गए हैं बाज़ार में......

Tmaasha ban gaye hain baazar mein,
kisi ko muflisi na parvar digaar de,

bauhat dana the kuch roz pehle,
nikamma bnaa diyaa is rozgaar ne,

pehle chatt naa thi ab neend nahin,
sochein kab hum jaada laachaar the,

jo chaahe saahib chaal chalta hai,
kaun puche marzi is kaarobaar mein,

na mohre ki zindgi na mohre ki maut,
hmaari baat takk nahin koi darbar mein,

kathputli ka tarah chaahe jitna nchaa humko,
o bnaane waale dil, samajh, armaan naa de,

Tmaasha ban gaye hain baazar mein...

Kehne ko uski zameen, kehne ko uska aasman

Kehne ko uski zameen, kehne ko uska aasman,
par ye shajar ko pata uska kuch bhi naa,

kehne ko wo aazaad, kehne ko uspe koi bandish naa,
par ye shajar ko pata wo kahin jaa sakta naa,

kehne ko uske paas panchi, kehne ko uske saath musaafir,
par ye shajar ko pata koi ikk raat bhi rukega naa,

kehne ko wo jeevan waayu daata, kehne ko wo jagg ka vidhata,
par ye shajar ko pata jo aan padi to katega.

Anjaam se anjaan naa hoon

Anjaam se anjaan naa hoon,
par mere paas hai hi kya jo main daroon,

laakh chaahe ab jaljale aayein,
main to pehle se hi sookhi banzar zameen hoon,
anjaam se anjaan naa hoon...

kya fikar karni ke koi kuch le jaayega,
sadiyon purana veeran khandar hoon,
anjaam se anjaan naa hoon...

Aur ab ye khauf bhi kahan ke jo toofan aaya,
bin patton bin shaakhon ka shajar hoon,
anjaam se anjaan naa hoon...

Bekhauf befikar khaabon mein jee raha,
laash hoon kya farak kabar ke bahar ya andar hoon,
anjaam se anjaan naa hoon...

Kisi ko Zameen nahin milti, Kisi ko aasman nahin milta

Kisi ko Zameen nahin milti, Kisi ko aasman nahin milta,
duniaa mein Kisi ko mukammal jahan nahin milta,

Hum hain badnaseeb aur bhi, humne dono khoye hain,
tabhi hum mein zindgi ka naamo nishasn nahin milta,
 

Shaamo ko naa hai wasal yaar e gull kaa,
subhon ko jo rooh ko sukoon de wo kaam nahin milta,

ksimat mein hai apne dar badar bhatakna,
aur kahin do pal rukk bhi jaayein to bhi aaram nahin milta,

Har baar daon lagaata hoon haar jaata hoon,
takdeer to khoti thi hi thi tabdeer se bhi koi kaam nahin banta
