Love my song

Love my song and not me
Oh, friend of my soul, goodbye-
You will not know to compose a pain
How many tears role by.

Far there on a flower garden
Sang a bird all day;
The song all heard, but forgot the bird
Who at the dusk flew away.

I am but a wandering cloud
Travelling from land to land;
But my poems will share your heart
And inspire you till the end.

And then one day, on a calm spring dusk
Long after I am gone;
Share our tales with a caring friend,
For the sake of our song, unsung.

Illumine the world around you
By the brilliance of your personality;
So when you leave the world
Cry the entire humanity.

You came to my life

Like a storm you came to my life
And revolutionised my inner self,
I realised a dream far beyond
Worldly joy, pleasures or pelf.

A dream that was to transform myself
A truth of life I had never known;
From illusion to knowledge,from fear to freedom
A ray of light, you have shown.

My imagination got flared up
By the blaze of your ideal;
I discovered myself waking from slumber
Into a world, genuine and real.

Your burning instance gave me the zeal
And an ever-illuminating inspiration;
With that courage, I voyaged on a journey
Ahead to the goal of perfection.

You showed me the path and I proceeded
To know in the world, my real worth
With unflinching faith and undaunted spirit
Towards absolute bliss and eternal mirth.

Mohabaat Jaab tum the saath

Mohabaat, Jab tum the saath,
Duniya yeh sunehari lagti thi
Lagti thi har kali pyaari
Chandni bhi us madhur gagan se
Karti thi mujhse shayari

Tumhi ne toh pyar karna sikhaya
Logo mein tha prem-bhav
Manabta ke aachal mein tha
Sneha, Shanti aur sadbhav

Aaj najane kaha gum gaye tum
Dhoondu tumko yeha woha
Nafrat phail gayi hai logo mein
Kho gaya hai tumhara Khwabo ka jahan

Dur gagan ki woh koyaliya
Kyon gati nahi hai prem-rag
Kho gayi hai logo mein kyon
Daya, insaniyat va anurag

Tumhare chale jane se yu
Tanha huyi meri har sham
Bat gayi hai insaniyat
Mazhab-bhaasha-jati ke naam

Shyamal kanan mein dekho kaise
Hai khoon ke chite phaile huye
Tumhare intezaar mein kabse
Naino ke diye hai jale huye

Anyaye va shoshan ki poudh
Kisne manushya mein hai boye
Tumhari hi yaadon mein maine
Kitne raate hai rooye

Neele gagan ke awara panchi
Puchti hai tumse hamesha
Kab hogi uske sur mein
Samya, Nyay va prem-bhasha

Mohabaat, teri yaadon mein
Mein asru anjali deti hoon
Ayoge tum is duniya mein phir se
Isi ummidh se jiti hoon

Love

My love is pathosful,
Yet serene and full-bloom;
It lays me down at the bed of thorns,
And then renders me immune;

A love that beckons-
A truth that touches;
A plasm that sings of purple glow.

Melancholy strain and plaintive notes though
Touches every heart to the core;
Yet at the end, there's the thunderous blow
Of hope, strength, struggle and fight.
For a joy eternal and infinite-
In a soul bathed in the morning sun
At the highest zone of virginal light.

March for a grand victory

Oh my heart, take me to the zone of light-
Where there is no moan, no plight;
Where the eyes can see beyond the horizon
Of private joy and selfish pride.

Where the song of soul is freedom
Freedom from illusion and cowardice;
Where in the eternal fight of life
Virtue prevails over the vice.

A mount from where the ears can hear
The pithiest call of the suffering millions-
And the feet can run to mingle-
In the ocean of mankind, at one summon.

I need, I need the courage and the strength
Nay, Nay, I lack it no more-
For the mind is awakened and spirit imbibed,
And time is knocking at the door.

The hour of final onslaught had struck
And I am ready with sword shapened;
To cut the chains and break the walls
Ahead for a victory, tremendous and grand.

Beauty

Full with joy my heart fills
When you bloom like the daffodils;
In the morning sun, with a smile that heels-
The pains of all and all evil ruins
The goodness of your nature falls,
Over one and all whoever calls;
And I am bound to say in winter or spring
A calm bliss that your presence bring,
Through the clouds that float over mountain tops
In secret silence;
Your heart that speaks and soul that sings
Has always something in its deeper sense-
A peaceful dream, a love serene,
A tint of pure innocence.

As you go away

I remained watching the lonely way
Through the dry leaves as you go away,
You looked not back nor made reply
Days passed by and by;

I waited for thee
A whole night long,
If you come to me
Even in the dawn.

But I know not why
Wait ended not,
May be friend
You forgot,-

The days we passed
The song we sang,
All those ended
In a short span;

I thought one day,
You would come along,
Though the same lone path
After a short sojourn;

One tear fell, then became dry
Void inside me, like the vast blue sky,
Asked so many questions in deep silence
That echoed back to me;
You never came, you never knew,-
I remained waiting for thee.

खून की रंगोली

मृतु जहाँ आस पास हो
और जिन्देगी बहुत दूर
समय के उस घाट खरी है
आज भारत्-वासी हो मजबुर

किसी की कंगन टुट रही है
तो किसी की राखी है मजबूर
किसी दुल्हन के माथे से देखो
कोई पोछ राहा है सिन्दुर

किसी माँ के आँचल में आज
मर रही है उसकी सन्तान
कोयल के उस सुरिले धून में
बज रही है प्रलय की तान

मझब की बेदी में आज
इन्सानियत चढती है बली
हरि-भरी उस हरियाली में
खून की होती है रंगोली


कहाँ है मेर वोह सुन्हरा देश
जिसकी शाहीदो ने की थी कल्पना
मैं और तुम के इस द्वन्द में
'हम्' शब्द बन गय हैं अन्जना

शाहीदों के रुह देती है
आज विवेक को चुनौती-
क्या आज का जवान दे सकेगा फिर से
अपनी जान की अहुती?

न्याय और एकता के अदर्श से क्या
सज सकेगा यह भारत वर्ष,
याँ फिर धर्म के नाम पर चलता रहेगा
यह खून की होली
और यह मिथ्या संघर्श्!

Ek Rista

Tere mere bich jo hai ek rista
Isko koi naam na do
Isk keh kar is riste ko
Zamaane ka badnaam na do

Ehsaas jo jaga hai maan mein
Use eu hi tum panapne do
Kali jo mehki hai ban mein
Use gul bankar khilne do

Zeevan ka dor kamjoor bara
Na jane kab yeh toot jaye
Bebafa naseeb kyon jaane kab
Hum se yuhi rooth jaye

Raha mein yu chalte chalte
Saath kabhi ye toot jaye
Milan ka bahar is zeevan mein
Phir kabhi, aye na aye

Hum to tere yaadon mein
Har roz shayari kiya karenge
Tere naam ke deep tulsi ke tale
Har shaam ko dia karenge

Darna nahi ki ayungi na mein
Kabhi tere paas mein
Smriti ban kar chupi rahungi
Tere dil ke ehsaas mein

Daag nahi lagne dungi mein
Tere paak daman mein
Kabhi gul bankar mehka karungi
Tere ghar ke aangan mein

Fiza bankar cha jaaungi mein
Har barasta sawan mein
Prakash ban kar prerna dungi
Andhere bhare is zeevan mein

Agar kabhi zindegi mein
Tujhko meri yaad aaye
Prerna ke roop mein mujhe paane ko
Tera yeh dil bulaye

Toh payoge mujhe tum kisi
Masoom bache ke muskan mein
Ya phir kisi urte huye
Panchi ke paygaam mein

Na dhoodna mujhe door sitaro mein
Aye mere man ke meet
Rahungi mein paas tumhare
Banke tumhari zeevan sangeet

Khwabo ka mahal mai thor du aaj

Khwabo ka mahal mai thor du aaj
Kartabya ki rahe bulati hai
Insaniyat ka jasba aaj mujhse
Muhabbat ka balidan mangti hai

Aasuo ko mai rok lu aankho par
Jo kamjor karti hai dharkan ko
Sangram rah par nikal pari hoon
Tor moh ke har bandhan ko

Gar aaj kadmo ko na roka maine
To shayad kal kabhi naa rok payu
Yaa phir aaisa ho bhabishya main
Ki mai aatma-samman hi bhool jau

Dard tumhara to har koi sunega
Jab pukaroge tum mujhe rote rote
Sunega koun is dil ki ayaz
Jab yeh tooth jayega tumhe albida kehte

Tum to bebafaye ka ilzam dekar
Hume hamesha ke lia bhoola doge
Hume to gum bhulane ke lia
Shayad aasu bhi nasib na hoonge

Socha Tha

Socha tha ki kabhi aapkke
Paas naa hum ayenge
Socha tha ki door hi se
Bafa hum nivaenge
Aap ne jab aakar humse
Hule dil yu pooch lia
Hum aapko yeh kaise bataye
Kitna apse pyar kia

Cham si ek ayaz hui
Yeh dil jo mera tut gaya
Kisi matyale basuri se jaise
Sangeet achanat rooth gaya
Aasu mera kabhi kah na saki tumhe
Darde dil ki daasta
Mere khamoshi ne dikha diya mujhe'
Tanhaiyo ka raasta

Hoto ke jo alfaz the mere
Yoh shayad is dil ka afsana na tha
Nigaho ki zuba meri
To tumne kabhi pehchana na tha
Dil ke kisse likh diye the maine
Sawan ke patto mein bhigi bhigi
Woh patta aaj bhi sard hawa mein
Tumhare Aangan se ho kar gujarti hogi
Bejuban patta kisi khirki se
Chupke se kabhi jhakti hogi
Us khuda se tumhare lia
Salamati ki duyae mangti hogi

Mazhaab aur Insaaniyat

Khuli hai meri rahe aaj
Khali hai yeh nigahe aaj,
Bhar de inme aasu tu
Milan ki khusi mein
Gale aaj tu prem ki raag
In khamoshi mein

Bulaaye tujhko, bachpan ki masti
Barsaato mein woh kagaj ki kashti
Woh tuta khilowna, woh chuta jo saat
Woh raho mein chalna liye haatho mein haath

Na thhe tab hun hindu
Na tum Musalman
Dosti hi thhi apna Mazhab imaan
Phir kyun aaj yeh larai aur takrar
Yeh khoon ki holi
Yeh jhuta diwar

Dekho tum woh bachpan ki galiyan
Woh ped ki chao
Woh behti nadia
Inhone to hume aitraaj na kia
Yu milne se, prem ke khilne se

Prakriti ne ki to sabhi se pyar
Maa ki tarah humain dia dular
Phir kiyun hum banaaye diwar
Apne hi aangan mein
Nafrat ka kalank kiyun lagae hum
Apne hi daman mein

Tu kahe too chordu us bhagwan ko main
Jisto maine kabhi paaya hi nahi
Kya vaasta hai terah us allah se
Jo tere gum sunneh kabhi aaya hi nahi

Har taklif mein paayee main too terah hi haat
Tere sath bitaayi har gaamon ki raat
Phir puchti hoon main,- aye mere yaar
Kya kho baithi mol yoh aitbaar,
Yoh bafa, yoh niswarth pyar
Dekh mazhab ki uchi diwar

Nafrat ke saamne kya haar gayi aaj
Manushya manushya ki muhabaat
Kya choti par gayi mazhab ke saamne
Insaan ki insaaniyat.

Azad Panchi

Hu main to ek azad panchi
Urta phirta mara mara-

Na zindegi se ho koi lagaon,
Na mout ka koi khouf tanao,
Na manjil ka ho koi kinara-
Hu main to ek azad panchi
Urta phirta mara mara-

Na samaj mujhe tu aawara baadal
Atma mukti hai udeshya humara,
Aur is udeshya par nisar hai
mera apna jevan sara

Na baanu kisi ghar ka chirag main
Banu aasman ka woh sitara
Khud jalkar bhi jo karta jaae
Har ek ke jivan mein ujiwara

Gata rahu main jivan sangeet
Banu har dukhi maan ka meet
Kabita ban kar karta jaau
Har nirash insaan ko prerit

Zindagi ko main aise jeeyu
Taki zindegi ka barh jaaye shan
Mrittu se mai likhke jayu
Samay ki reth par apna nishan

Farewell, my love (voice from the heart of a soldier)

Love though ye , Oh my love
Loved in the dark and shine,
Love though ye, Oh my love
I can’t stay being thine.

When the voice of duty calls
Bind me not by love-enthralls,
Touch me not by paining words
For self is not now mine.

Love though ye , Oh my love
Loved in the dark and shine,
Love though ye, Oh my love
I can’t stay being thine.

Far across the mountains and sands
The enemy’s troop captures the land,
I’ll go there to free the Mother
Look, she beckons in sigh.

Love though ye , Oh my love
Loved in the dark and shine,
Love though ye, Oh my love
I can’t stay being thine.

Come I may, but go I must
To give the blood and quench the thirst,
Of miles long hot dry dust
Be weather foul or fine.

Love though ye , Oh my love
Loved in the dark and shine,
Love though ye, Oh my love
I can’t stay being thine.

If I come back, Oh my love with glory to the goal
You and I will forever be united by the soul,
But if I kiss death, Oh my dear
Insult not love by frustrationg tears,
For my soul will love thee always
Love in the dark and shine,
My memories will inspire thee
And always remain thine.

Let the world know, our love is not
Just an illusive infatuation,
Let the world know it is but
A perenial source of inspiration.
Which liberates the mind and illumines the soul
And inspire heart towards great goal,
Which sacrifies itself unselfishly
When called for the sake of humanity,
And thus shows the world with brilliance
Its ever-radiating sublime beauty.

Bachpan ke yoh din

Yaad ati hai mujko mere bachpan ke ke yoh din pyare
Yoh chota sa makan, yoh purane kamre
Yoh mithe rishte aur sapne sunehere
Yoh choti khwaishe, yoh suni diware
Yaad aati hai mujhko yoh din pyare.

Yoh khali kursi, yoh suna makan
Jinme the hazaro sapne, yoh hai aaj sunsan
Yaad dilati hai mujko yoh purane din
Joh aaj khamosh hai un sabke bin

Yoh aam ka ped, yoh snigdha chao
Yoh khula maidan, yoh pyara gaon
Yaad dilati hai yoh purane yaar
Zinme na the koi ved, na koi diwar

Yoh chale gaye hai aaj apne raho pe
Rah Gayi hai bas smriti in nigaho pe

Yoh masum si khusi, yoh chand bate
Chandni mein phir yoh mulakate
Unko kyon dohorae meri suni rate
Aaj un sabke bin
Yaad aati hai itni najane kyon
Mere bachpan ke woh din

Mazdoor hai hum

Mazdoor hai hum,
Shoshan aur atyachar se
Mazboor hai hum.

Apne khoon pasine se
Banate hai bari-bari Imarat
Phir bhi sar jhukane ko
Aaj bhi kutiya ki hai zaroorat.

Hamari mehnat ke daulat se
Malik karte hai jo raj
Yeha ghar mein apne hai bache rahte
Dane dane ko mahutaj.

Phasal hum hi banate hai
Jite hai sara desh
Hamare khane ke lia
Bas sukhi roti hai abshesh.

Torna hai aaj bandhan sare
Chorna hai har ek dar
Apne haato se likhenge hum
Aaj apna mukaddar.

Shoshit janata aaj ek jut ho
Annaye ke khilaf karenge pratibad
Shoshan mukt ek samaj ke lia
Shuru karna hai aaj inqalab.

Sawan ke mahine mein aaye the tum jo
Ja rahe hon yu patjhar se pehle hi
Thora sa pyar to tumne bhi kiya tha
Sari umar ka na sahi

Mout mile to aaisa mile
Taki zindegi bhi zhuk kar kare salam-
Zindegi mile to aaisa mile
Mout na ho iska aakhri mukam...

Zindegi ke raho par

Zindegi Ke un raaho par
Jinpe mera naam hai
Akela hai mujko chalna
Yahi niyati ka paigam hai-

Bandhan bankar baandh rakhe jo
Ho mujme aaisi koi chahat nahi
Isiliye aai dil mere tuhko
Pyar karne ki izaajat nahi
