khwahishen bhi aksar ....

khwahishen bhi aksar ... saanj mein ghum ho jaati hain

jo pehlu mein chand hota ... aur aks mein chandni
har shab-o-shama hum bhi ... deedar kiye hote
par khwahishon ka kya ...
khwahishen to aksar ... saanj mein ghum ho jaati hain

yun zindagi ki dor ke ... na is chhorr hum ... na us chhorr hum
har chhorr chhutaa jaata hai ... kis ore jaaye hum
har khwahish pe pehra kyon ...
khwahishen to aksar ... saanj mein ghum ho jaati hain

humming aloud

mera chain bain sab ujda .. zaalim nazar hata le
barbaad ho rahe hai ji .. tere apne shaher wale
meri angdai na toote tu aaja ...
kajra re
kajra re kajra re tere kaare kaare naina

i'm sure y'all r used to my sporadic updates by now ...

was reading Ithaca the other day ... i'm sure noone needs an intro to this one:

... always keep Ithaca in ur mind
to arrive there is your ultimate goal
but do not hurry the voyage at all
it is better to let it last for many years;
and to anchor at the island when u r old,
rich with all you have gained on the way,
not expecting that Ithaca will offer you riches

Ithaca has given you the beautiful voyage
without her you would have never set out on the road
she has nothing more to give you ...

check this out ... interesting the linkage to greek mythlogy ...

humming aloud

koi manchala jab pakad lega aanchal
zara sochiye aap kya kijiyega
laga de agar bhadke zulfon mein kaliyan
to kya apni zulfen jhatak dijiyega ...
huzoor is kadar bhi na itraa ke chaliye
khule aam aanchal na lehra ke chaliye ...
