Meri Pyaari Didi

Badi anokhi, 
Badi hi pyari hai.
Uski har baat
niraali hai

Jaadoo hai uski 
Baaton mein
Ungliyon mein uski
Anuthi kalakaari hai

Jab rakh de haath
Wo Sir pe
Mano mil Jaye
Duniya saari ye

Badi pyari hai 
Meri Didi
Bahut bholi hai
Badi hi seedhi

Man uska 
Bada hi nischal
Jaise ho
Behta sheetal jal

Uske jaise hi 
Ishwar ne
Diya use
jeevan saathi hai

Jab kabhi wo
Gussa ho Jaye
Mano tab wo
Jata dhaari hai

Jab man ghabraye
Dar jaye
To Mamta se
Wo bhar jati hai

Awaz uski
 sureeli
Meethi
Bansuri hai

Badi anokhi
Badi hi pyari hai
Meri Didi
Sabse nyari hai

Meethi Meethi Si Yaadein

Yaadon ka aana jaana
Shabdon ka taana baana
Bheeni bheeni si khushboo
Aur khushboo ka mehkana

Madhyam madhyam Pawan
Aur Pawan ka sehlana
Uspe bheeni si baarish
Aur baarish ka nehlana

Chanchal sa ye man
Aur man ko Yun behlana
Phir Bhi chalta Chala wo
Phir usko Yun Thehrana

Aaj jhakiyan Nikli hai
Jhakiyon ka ye Kehlana
Ye meethi si yaadein
Dhoondhe koi Bahana

Bahaane se Yun aana
Aake ye batlana
Wada hai hogi hamesha
Sang hi hogi ravana

Kabhi hare bhare patte
Uspe chidiyon ka baithna
Kabhi gali mein khelte bachhe
Aur unka Yun chehekna

Kabhi satana kabhi hasana
Kabhi roothna kabhi Manana
Kabhi dil ki dehleez pe
Unka Yun khatkhatana

Kuch khona aur kuch paana
Kuch nai yaadein banana
Kuch suron ko jodna
Phir gaana gungunaana

Ye jeevan ki hai gaadi
Kabhi halki kabhi bhari
Atakti chalti garaari
Ye silsila rahega zaari

Yaadon ka aana jaana
Shabdon ka taana baana
Bunte pirote jaate hai
Aur ban jaata hai afsana

The Window

The Window

I looked out the window
It was blue and yellow
It was bright and shiny
Yet it was so mellow

I closed my eyes

I looked out the window
There were all shades of gray
The sky was thundering loud
Was it joy or dismay

I closed my eyes

I looked out the window
This time it was orange and red
The birds were flying back
It was time for the bed

I closed my eyes

I looked out the window
It was dark blue 
The stars were trying to peep
Out of the grayish hue

I closed my eyes

I looked out the window
Now it was pitch black
And there were shining
Stars at the back

I closed my eyes

I looked out the window
It was another day
The blue was a little different
And clouds were far away

I closed my eyes
Something lighted and something dawned

I looked again
It was never the same
Every moment was different
Sometimes oblivion sometimes fame

What we see once 
May see twice or even thrice
Yet it will be different
Sometimes virtue sometimes vice

No one is the same
No place is the same
No time is the same
No grace is the same

Listen!
What it is trying to say
It is here today
It will be back tomorrow
It will stay for eternity
But It won't be the same

So if you see it vice
Remember it's virtue
Remember it was also nice
And these are just the hues

It may change colors
It may make you puzzled
But if you see the real
You will bedazzled

It looks simple
It is very deep
It seems easy
It is very steep

It is the depth
Which needs diving within
There is an infinity
Under the skin

Aj man khush rahega!


Aj man khush ho jaaye!

Thodi si garmi Lage
Thoda sa paani pade
Phir thandi pawan chale
Aha ha ha ha ha

Thodi si bhookh lage
Thodi si pyas jage
Phir dana Pani mile
A ha ha ha ha ha 

Sondhi si khusbhoo aaye
Ghar angan mehka jaaye
Aur chai pakode khaye
A ha ha ha ha ha

Peeche galiyare mein
Golgappe Wala aaye
Saath hi kulfi bhi laaye
A ha ha ha ha ha

Bagal mein halwai ho
Poorab ki purwai ho
Aur dahi jalebi khayein
A ha ha ha ha ha

Behna sang dukaan ko jaayein
Naye kapde silwayein
Aur phir pehen ke dikhayein
A ha ha ha ha ha 

Madhur tarange bajayein
Manmohan gaane sunayein
Man jhoome, naache, gaaye
A ha ha ha ha ha 

Naveen chitra banayein
Usko rango se sajayein
Sunehri yaadein sanjoyein
A ha ha ha ha ha

Kabhi tasveerein niharein
Sunehre dhage laayein
Aur usme moti pirayein
A ha ha ha ha ha

Koi chal chitra lagaaein
Kabhi aankh Nam ho jaaye
Kabhi Hasi thahake lagayein
A ha ha ha ha ha 

Phoolon se mehke aangan
Rango se chehke ye man
Man ho ek sundar sa van
A ha ha ha ha ha

Suno, koi khel khilao
Jao koi carrom Lao
Aur taash ke patte lagao
A ha ha ha ha ha

Samandar kinare jaayein
Paani ki atkheliyon mein
Chand ki Chandni nihaarein
A ha ha ha ha ha ha 

Meethi si neend aa jaye
Salone sapne dikhaye
Subah ek Naya din laaye
A ha ha ha ha ha

Koi man ka meet mile
Sundar se geet likhe
Aankhon mein preet dikhe
A ha ha ha ha ha ha

Chhup ke peeche se aaye
Baahon ke haar pehnaye
Baalon mein phool sajaye
A ha ha ha ha ha

Phoolon ki phulkari
Bacchon ki kilkaari
Manmohak aatishbaazi
A ha ha ha ha ha

Abhilasha ho Jo Poori
Na ho kabhi koi doori
Har cheez ki ho manzoori
A ha ha ha ha ha

Jab kabhi yaadein sataaein
Ma ki godi aa jaye
Aur usme ja samaaein
A ha ha ha ha ha

Babul bhi daud ke aayein
Phir gudgudi lagaaein
Naaz aur nakhre uthaein
A ha ha ha ha ha

Aur jo ye sab kuch na ho
To bhi koi dukh na ho
Vichaaron ka Anand wo
Wo bhi A ha ha ha

Har din ek pran ye hoga
Aj dukh koi na hoga
Har cheez mein shanti hogi
Aur ye man khush rahega

A ha ha ha ha ha
