Nigahein milaney ko

"kaleidoscope" by Neha

raaz kee baat hain mahafil mein kahey, ya na kahey
bas gaya hai koi, is dil mein kahe, ya na kahey

nigaahey milaane ko, jee chahata hai
dil-o-jaan lutaane ko, jee chahata hai

wo tohumat jise ishk kahatee hain duniyaa
wo tohumat uthhane ko, jee chaahataa hai

kisee ke manaane me, lajjat wo paayee
ke fir ruthh jaane ko, jee chahata hain

wo jalawaa jo ojhal bhee, hain saamane bhee
wo jalawaa churaane ko, jee chahata hain

jis ghadee meree nigaahon ko teree did huyee
wo ghadee mere liye ayesh kee tamaheed huyee
jab kabhee maine teraa chaand saa cheharaa dekhaa
eed ho yaa ke naa ho, mere liye eed huyee
wo jalawaa jo ojhal bhee, hain saamane bhee
wo jalawaa churaane ko, jee chaahataa hain

mulaakaat kaa koi paigaam dije
ke chup chup ke aane ko jee chahata hain
aur aa ke na jaane ko jee chahata hain

-Sahir Ludhianvi, Movie : Dil Hi to Hai (1963)

Woh subah kabhi to aayegee

" Image : Vision by Neha"

Woh Subah Kabhi To Aayegi ( that morning will come sometime)
Woh Subah Kabhi To Aayegi ( that morning will come sometime)

In Kaali Sadiyon Ke Sar Se ( after all these dark ages)
Jab Raat Ka Aanchal Dhalkega ( when shadow of night will pass)
Jab Dukh Ke Badal Pighalenge ( when the clouds of sadness will melt)
Jab Sukh Ka Sagar Chhalkega ( when ocean of happiness will flow)
Jab Ambar Jhoom Ke Nachega ( when sky will do a rain dance)
Jab Dharti Nagme Gaayegi ( when earth will sing songs )
Woh Subah Kabhi ...

Jis Subah Ki Khatir Yug Yug Se ( the morning for which since many epochs)
Hum Sab Mar Mar Kar Bhi Jeete Hain ( we all have been sacrificing )
Jis Subah Ke Amrit Ki Dhun Mein ( the morning for whose sweet music)
Hum Zehar Ke Pyaale Peete Hain ( we bear all the hardships )
In Bhooki Pyaasi Roohoan Par ( on these hungry and thirsty souls)
Ek Din To Karam Farmayegi ( one day that morning will shine)
Woh Subah Kabhi...

Mana ki abhi terey merey ( our dreams might not be valued by the world)
Armaanon Ki Keemat Kuchh Bhi Nahin
Mitti Ka Bhi Hai Kuchh Mol Magar ( where mud also has a value)
Insaanon Ki Keemat Kuchh Bhi Nahin ( but human life is not valued sometimes )
Insaanon Ki Izzat Jab Jhoote ( when the value of human dignity )
Sikkon Mein Na Toli Jayegi ( will not be measured in money)
Woh Subah Kabhi...

Daulat Ke Liye Jab Aurat Ki ( when for money)
Asmat Bechi Na Jayegi ( woman's respect won't be sold)
Chaahat Ko Na Kuchla Jayega ( love will not be suppressed)
Gairat ko Na Becha Jayega ( humility will not be sold)
Apni Kaaley Kartuton Par ( when for its wrong doings )
Jab Yeh Duniya Sharmayegi ( the world will be embarrassed)
Woh Subah Kabhi...

Beetenge Kabhi To Din Aakhir ( such days will pass)
Yeh Bhook Ke Aur Bekaari Ke ( such days of hunger and unemployment)
Tootenge Kabhi To But Aakhir ( some days such false idols will break)
Daulat Ki Ijaradaari Ke ( when money is worshipped)
Jab Ek Anokhi Duniya Ki ( when for a new wonderful world)
Buniyaad Uthayi Jayegi ( a foundation will be laid)
Woh Subah Kabhi...

Majboor Budhapa Jab Sooni ( when helpless old age)
Rahon Ki Dhool Na Phekega ( will not be struggling on dusty roads)
Masoom Ladakpan Jab Gandi ( when innocent childhood)
Galiyon Mein Bheekh Na Maangega ( won't have to beg on dirty streets)
Hum Mangne Walo Ko Jis Din ( when the ones who demand this vision)
Sooli Na Dikhayi Jayegi ( will not be sacrificed)
Woh Subah Kabhi...

Faankon Ki Chitaon Par Jis Din
Insaan Jalaye Jayenge
Seene Ke Dehakte Dozakh Mein
Armaan Jalaye Jayenge
Yahan Nark Se Gandi Duniya
Jab Swarg Banai Jayegi ( when there will be heaven on this earth)
Woh Subah Kabhi...

Jab Dharti Karvat Badlegi ( when earth will turn its course)
Jab Qaid Se Qaidi Chhootenge ( when from such bondage we will be freed)
Jab Paap Ke Gharonde Phootenge ( when there will be no wrong)
Jab Zulm Ke Badal Chhootenge ( when clouds of oppression will pass)
Us Subah Ko Hum Hi Layenge ( that morning we will bring)
Woh Subah Hum Hi Se Aayegi ( such morning can come only with our efforts)

Manhoos Samaj Ke Dhache Mein
Jab Zulm Na Paale Jayenge
Jab Haath Na Kaate Jayenge
Jab Sar Na Uchhale Jaayenge
Maelon Ke Bina Jab Duniya Ki
Sarkar Chalayi Jayegi
Woh Subah Hum Hi Se Aayegi

Sansar Ke Saare Mehnat Kash
Kheton Se Millon Se Niklenge
Beghar Beghar Insaan Sabhi
Tareeq Dilon Se Niklenge
Duniya Aur Khushali Ke ( a much more happy world)
Phoolon Se Sajayi Jayegi ( will be decorated with flowers)
Woh Subah Hum Hi Se Aayegi ( such morning can come only with our efforts)

Seeney mein jalan

seene mein jalan aankhon mein tufaan saa kyon hain ?
is shahar mein har shaks pareshaan saa kyon hain ?

dil hain to, dhadakane kaa bahaanaa koee dhoondhe
patthar kee tarah beheesa-o-bejaan saa kyon hain ?

tanahaee kee ye kaunasee, manzil hain rafeekon
taa-hadd-ye-najar yek bayaabaan saa kyon hain ?

kyaa koee nayee baat najar aatee hain hum me
aaeenaa humei dekh ke hairaan saa kyon hain ?

- From the movie 'Gaman ( 1979)

Aapki yaad aatee rahee..

aap kee yaad, aatee rahee raatabhar
chashma-ye-nam muskuraatee rahee raatabhar

raatabhar dard kee shammaa jalatee rahee
gam kee lau tharatharaatee rahee raatabhar

baasuree kee sureelee suhaanee sadaa
yaad ban ban ke aatee rahee raatabhar

yaad ke chaand dil mein utarate rahe
chaandanee zagamagaatee rahee raatabhar

koee diwaanaa galiyon mein firataa rahaa
koee aawaaj aatee rahee raatabhar

- from the movie 'Gaman (1979)'

Madhuban Khushboo Deta hai

Madhuban khushboo deta hai, saagar saawan deta hai
Jeena uska jeena hai, jo auro ko jeewan deta hai
Madhuban khushboo deta hai

Suraj na ban paaye to, banke deepak jalta chal
Phool mile ya angaare, sach ki raaho pe chalta chal
Pyaar dilo ko deta hai, ashqo ko daaman deta hai
Jeena uska jeena hai, jo auro ko jeewan deta hai
Madhuban khushboo deta hai

Chalti hai lehraake pawan, ke saans sabhi ki chalti rahe
Logo ne tyaag diye jeewan, ke preet dilo mein palti rahe
Dil woh dil hai jo auro ko, apni dhadhkan deta hai
Jeena uska jeena hai, jo auro ko jeewan deta hai
Madhuban khushboo deta hai...

Badey Achey..

Bade Acchee lagte hai
Yeh Dharti ,yeh nadiyaa, yeh rainaa aur! tum

Hum tum kitane paas hai, kitane duur hain chaand sitaare
Sach poochho to man ko jhoothe lagate hain yeh saare
Magar saccche lagate hai, yeh dharti...

Tum in sab ko chood ke kaise kal subah jaaogi
Mere saath inhe bhi to tum yaad bahut aaogi
Bade achchhe lagate hain ...

- Sung by Amit Kumar in Balika Vadhu (1976)
