Shaam Ke Baad


Tu Ne Dekha Hey Kabhi Aik Nazar Shaam Ke Baad

Kitney Chup Chaap Se Lagtey Hein Shajar Shaam Ke Baad



Itney Chup Chaap K Rastey Bhi Rahenge La-Elm

Chor Jaayenge Kissi Roz Nagar Shaam Ke Baad



Maine Aisey He Gunah Teri Judai Mein Kiye

Jaise Toofan Mein Koyi Chor Dey Ghar Shaam Ke Baad



Shaam Se Pehley Woh Mast Apni Udaanon Mein Raha

Jin Ke Haathon Mein They Tootey Hooye Par Shaam Ke Baad



Tu Hai Suraj Tujhey Maloom Kahan Raat Ka Dukh

Tu Kissi Roz Mere Ghar Mein Uttar Shaam Ke Baad



Laut Aaye Na Kissi Roz Woh Awaara Mizaaj

Khol Rakhte Hein Issi Aas Pe Dar Shaam Ke Baad

Be - Dard


Insaano Ke Kandhe Pe Insaan Ja Rahe Hain

Kafan Me Lipte Kuch Armaan Ja Rahe Hain

Jinhe Nahi Mili Mohabbat Duniya Mein

Mohhobat Paane, Woh Shamshaan Ja Rahe Hain

Tasveer


Mujhse Mat Pooch Ki Kyun Aankh Jhuka Li Maine,


Teri Tasveer Thi Jo Tujhse Chupaa Li Maine,


Jis Pe Likha Tha Ki Tu Mere Muqaddar Mein Nahi,


Apne Maathe Ki Woh Tehreer Mitaa Li Maine,


Har Janam Sabko Yahaan Sachha Pyaar Kahaan Milta Hai,


Teri Chaahat Mein To Umr Bita Li Maine,


Mujhko Jaane Kahaan Ehsaas Mere Ley Jaayein,


Waqt Ke Haathon Se Ek Nazm Utha Li Maine,


Ghere Rehti Hai Mujhe Ek Anokhi Khushboo,


Teri Yaadon Se Har Ek Saans Saja Li Maine,


Jiske Sheron Ko Woh Sunke Bahut Royi Thi,


Bas Wohi Ek Ghazal Sabse Chupa Li Maine.
Please if anyone knows the creator of the piece here...I would be obliged to share it.

Wafaa


Samandar Peer Ka Andar Hai Lekin Ro Nahi Sakta

Ye Aansu Pyar Ka Moti Hai Isko Kho Nahi Sakta

Meri Chahat Ko Dulhan Tu Banaa Lena Magar Sun Le

Jo Mera Ho Nahi Paya Wo Tera Ho Nahi Sakta

* original creation by Kumar Vishwas

Aansu


Muhabbat Ek Ehsason Ki Paawan Si Kahani Hai

Kabhi Kabiraa Deewana Tha Kabhi Meera Deewani Hai

Yahan Sab Log Kehte Hain Meri Aankhon Me Aansu Hai

Jo Tu Samjhe To Moti Hai Jo Naa Samjhe To Paani Hai
*original creation by Kumar Vishwas

Dil Ki baat


Koi Deewana Kehta Hai Koi Pagal Samajhta Hai

Magar Dharti Ki Bechaini Ko Bas Baadal Samajhta Hai

Main Tujhse Door Kaisa Hoon Tu Mujhse Door Kaisi Hai

Ye Tera Dil Samajhta Hai ya Mera Dil Samajhta Hai

Hazaaron ख्वाहिशें


Hazaaron Khvaahishen Aisi Ki Har Khvaaish Pe Dam Nikale
Bahut Nikale Mere Armaan Lekin Phir Bhi Kam Nikale

Nikal anaa Khud Se Aadam Kaa Sunate Aaye Hain Lekin
Bahut Beaabaruu Hokar Tere Kuuche Se Ham Nikale

Muhabbat Men Nahin Hai Farq Jine Aur Marne Kaa
Usi Ko Dekh Kar Jite Hain Jis Kaafir Pe Dam Nikale

Khudaa Ke Vaaste Pardaa Na Kaabe Se Uthaa Zaalim
Kahin Aisaa Na Ho Yaan Bhi Vahi Kaafir Sanam Nikle

Kahaan Maikhaane Ka Daravaazaa 'Ghalib' Aur Kahaan Vaaiz
Par Itanaa Jaanate Hain Kal Vo Jaataa Thaa Ke Ham Nikale

Only You


It’s Only You and Only You and Only, Only You
Nothing Else I Love As You I Do
Shining Sun and Morning Dew
Are Nothing When Compared To You

Nor Tulips, Roses or Bougainville’s
So Slightly Do My Care Steal
Neither Night nor Bright Full Moon
Fill Inch of My Heart’s Empty Room

Flowing River and Thawing Snow
Do Not Help My Emotions Slow
Swerving Leaves and Running Streams
Never Showed Up In My Dreams

How I Wished the List Not End
And A Token of Love I Always Send
But May Be I’ll Do Something New
Things That Have Been Done By Few

I’ll Confess Something Good to You
And What I Tell Is Purely True
Dancing Droplets and Deep Sea Blue
Are Nothing When Compared To You

As Nothing Else I Love, As You I Do
And it’s Only You and Only You and Only, Only You.

Haath Sahara


Ye Zazbaat ki Baat Hai

Dil Me Raat, Aankhon Me Barsaat Hai

Murjhaye Khayalaat

Khilaaf Sab Haalaat Hain

Magar Hoga Savera Bhi

Niklega Sooraj Bhi

Thamengi Hawaein Bhi

Hatengi Ghtaayein Bhi

Bikhrengi Fizayein Bhi

Rangeen Samaaein Bhi

Gar Tu Mere Saath

Daale Haathon Me Haath Hai......

Old Version...

The Ant Works Hard In the Withering Heat All Summer Long Building His House And Laying Up Supplies for The Winter. The Grasshopper Thinks The Ant's A Fool And Laughs & Dances & Plays The Summer Away. Come Winter, The Ant Is Warm And Well Fed. The Grasshopper Has No Food Or Shelter So He Dies Out In The Cold.

Modern Version...

The Ant Works Hard In The Withering Heat All Summer Long, Building His House And Laying Up Supplies For The Winter. The Grasshopper Thinks The Ant's A Fool And Laughs & Dances & Plays The Summer Away.


Come Winter, The Shivering Grasshopper Calls A Press Conference And Demands To Know Why The Ant Should Be Allowed To Be Warm And Well Fed While Others Are Cold And Starving.

NDTV, BBC, CNN Show Up To Provide Pictures Of The Shivering Grasshopper Next To A Video Of The Ant In His Comfortable Home With A Table Filled With Food. The World Is Stunned By The Sharp Contrast. How Can This Be That This Poor Grasshopper Is Allowed To Suffer So?

Arundhati Roy Stages A Demonstration In Front Of The Ant's House. Medha Patkar Goes On A Fast Along With Other Grasshoppers Demanding That Grasshoppers Be Relocated To Warmer Climates During Winter. Amnesty International And Koffi Annan Criticize The Indian Government For Not Upholding The Fundamental Rights Of The Grasshopper. The Internet Is Flooded With Online Petitions Seeking Support To The Grasshopper (Many Promising Heaven And Everlasting Peace For Prompt Support As Against The Wrath Of God For Non-Compliance). Opposition MP's Stage A Walkout

Left Parties Call For "Bharat Bandh" In West Bengal And Kerala Demanding A Judicial Enquiry.

CPM In Kerala Immediately Passes A Law Preventing Ants From Working Hard In The Heat So As To Bring About Equality Of Poverty Among Ants And Grasshoppers.

Lalu Prasad Allocates One Free Coach To Grasshoppers On All Indian Railway Trains, Aptly Named As The 'Grasshopper Rath'.

Finally, The Judicial Committee Drafts The Prevention Of Terrorism Against Grasshoppers Act [POTAGA], With Effect From The Beginning Of The Winter.

Arjun Singh Makes Special Reservation For Grass Hopper In Educational Insititutions & In Govt Services.

The Ant Is Fined For Failing To Comply With POTAGA And, Having Nothing Left To Pay His Retroactive Taxes, His Home Is Confiscated By The Government And Handed Over To The Grasshopper In A Ceremony Covered By NDTV.

Arundhati Roy Calls It "A Triumph Of Justice".

Lalu Calls It 'Socialistic Justice'.

Cpm Calls It The "Revolutionary Resurgence Of The Downtrodden".

Koffi Annan Invites The Grasshopper To Address The UN General Assembly.

Many Years Later...

The Ant Has Since Migrated To The Us And Set Up A Multi Billion Dollar Company In Silicon Valley. 100s Of Grasshoppers Still Die Of Starvation Despite Reservation Somewhere In India.

The Woman



"The Woman Came Out Of A Man's Rib.

Not From His Feet To Be Walked On.

Not From His Head to Be Superior

But

From The Side To Be Equal.

Under The Arm to Be Protected

And

Next To The Heart To Be Loved."




This Is Written In The Hebrew Talmud, The Book Where All Of The Sayings And Preaching Of Rabbis Are Conserved Over Time.

Mushkilein


Hai Dil Ko Samjhana Bhi Bahut Mushkil

Yun Hi Usko Manana Bhi Bahut Mushkil

Har Pal Hai Machalta Ikraar-E-Ishq Ko

Magar ………

Hai Tumko Batanaa Bhi Bahut Mushkil

Friends


Just The Thought

That You Would Know

And You Would Care

Has Carried Me Through Many A Storm.

Just The Thought

You Are There

Has Been Enough.

Just The Thought

You Are Always My Friend

Has Meant The World Sometimes.

Na Thi Jinko Hamare Pyaar Ki Kadar

Ittefaq Se Unhi Ko Chah Rahe The Hum

Who & What?



Flowers and Its Fragrance
The Sweet Pinch of Arrogance

The Grace of the Wind
The Flow of the Pellucid Water
The Style of Van Gogh And
The Deft Hands of A Potter

The Music That Melts
The Ice That Freezes
The Thunder in The Sky
And All Gentle Breezes

The Lightening, the Stars
The Moon and The Sun
The Shade of Banyan And
The Heat of The Gun.

The Clumsy And The Charming
The Bad And The Good Better Best
The Silver Line In The Night Sea
And The Relaxation Of Full Night Rest

It Sure Is Easy, U Know It All
Guess It In A Second Mister
If You Thought Its an Angel
No...
Its Just My Little Sister.

I Will Defend You When

The World Is Unfair

I Will Help U Smile If

Your Spirits Need Uplift

I Will Walk Beside You When

Those Closest Do You Seem To Understand.

I Will Become Your Heaven

Your Place of Peace Should Trouble Come

And I Will See Rainbows for You

When It’s Raining In Your Heart.

I Will Be Your Strength

When The Load Is Too Heavy.

Your Comfort

When You Are Alone

And I Will Believe In You

When Hope Is Far

Because

No Matter What I Know

You Will Win

And I Will Just Keep Loving You

Forever And Ever.

List


Sharing, Caring, Holding

and Letting Go.

Needing

Being Needed

and the Patient ways of a Listening Heart.

Loving You has Taught me How Precious

Love is and meant things

I might have never known

and cannot enlist.

Masjid





Apna Gam Le Ke Kahin Aur Na Jaaya Na Jaye

Ghar Mein Bikhri Huee Cheezon Ko Sajaaya Jaye

Jin Chiragon Ko Hawaon Ka Koi Khauf Nahin

Un Chiragon Ko Hawaon Se Bachaya Jaye

Baag Mein Jaanay Ke Aadaab Hua Karte Hain

Kisi Titlee Ko Na Phoolon Say Udaya Jaye

Ghar Se Masjid Hai Bahut Door Chalo Yun Kar Le

Kisi Rote Huye Bachay Ko Hansaya Jaye

Thak gaye hum unka intzaar karte karte

Zinda - Faakhir

Kisi ranjish ko hawa do ki main jinda hoon abhi

Mujhko ehsas dilaa do ki main jinda hoon abhi

Mere rukne se meri saanse bhi ruk jaayengi

Faasle aur badha do ki main jinda hoon abhi

Zehar peene ki to aadat thi zamane walon

Ab koi aur dawa do ki main jinda hoon abhi

Abhi chalti raahon mei yunhi aankh lagi hai 'faakhir'

Bheed logon ki hataa do ki main zinda hoon abhi

Garaj Baras - Nida Fazli


Garaj baras pyaasi dharti par phir paani de maulaa

chidiyon ko daanaa, bachchon ko gud-dhaani de maulaa


Do aur do kaa jod hameshaa chaar kahaan hotaa hai

soch samajhavaalon ko thodi naadaani de maulaa


Phir murat se baahar aakar chaaron or bikhar jaa

phir mandir ko koi miraa divaani de maulaa


Tere hote koi kisi ki jaan kaa dushman kyon ho

jinevaalon ko marane ki aasaani de maulaa

Mein Kampf - My Struggle


"How pathetic can one get?"

I was talking to myself while on my way back from Udupi. No, I am not in the habit of cursing myself and I am not a sadist either. It just happened that aguy named.... (what! he didnt even tell me his name. How pathetic can people get?). So this guy "unnamed" asked for a lift. Being a student myself, I know how handy a ride comes. After all, for almost two years now, its this kind of rides that have saved me from long walks to TAPMI.


I dropped him near TC (Tiger Circle) feeling good about myself when "it" happened.


He didnt even say thanks. Can you belive it? Not a single word of gratitude! How pathetic can people get?


I understand its not that big a deal but he should have said thanks yaar, come on.

I am not over reacting, believe me. I am NOT over reacting.

Now I will never give a ride to anyone. No ride ever maan! People are selfish. I wont help them. They dont even recognize other's good deed. Next time some one asks for it, I will simply pass by. I remember the time when people did that to me.


I was full with the thoughts of vengeance and i saw a chance to have my revenge. I saw another guy and it looked he needed a ride too.


"Yeah! Yeah! I will take him for a ride. HeHe, I am not even gonna stop this time", I said to myself.


"Let the idiot wait in the scorching heat. And he thinks he is smart ass. Listen mister standing next to a speed breaker wont help! I am NOt gonna stop!", I mumbled.


"Hi! Are you going towards KC (Kamath Circle)?", He asked.


That what I was looking for. The pleasure of revenge. I will now say no.


"Where do you wanna go?", I offered.

Ghazal - Berukhi- Kaifi Azmi


Main yeh soch kar uske dar se utha tha

ke woh rok legi , mana legi mujhko


Hawaon mein lehrata aata tha daaman

ki daaman pakad kar bitha legi mujhko


Kadam aise andaaz se uth rahe the

ke awaaz de kar bula legi mujhko


Magar ne usne roka, na usne manaya

na daaman hi pakda, na mujhko bithaya


na awaaz hi di, na wapas bulaya

main aahista ahista badta hi aaya


yahan tak ki us se juda ho gaya

juda ho gaya main

juda ho gaya main.....

Jhijhak- Kaifi Azmi




Bas ik jhijhak hai yahii haal-e-dil sunaane mein

Ki teraa zikr bhii aayegaa is fasaane mein


Baras padii thi jo rukh se naqaab uthaane mein

Vo chaandanii hai abhitak mere gariib-khaane mein


Isii mein ishq kii qismat badal bhii sakatii thi

Jo vaqt biit gayaa mujh ko aazamaane mein


Yeh kah ke tuut padaa shaakhh-e-gul se aakhirii phuul

Ab aur der hai kitanii bahaar aane mein
