...wohi banjar

~ ~ ~
Aankhon mai wohi manjar,
Dil mai wohi khanjar,
Khwabon ka wohi pinjar.
Zindagi phir wohi banjar

...qafan udaa

~ ~ ~ 
Kahani sa, jo buna taana-baana, woh mai tha, 
Kuch naya, kuch purana, woh mai tha, 
Adha adhura bahana, woh mai tha, 
Jalti raakh sa dher fasana, woh mai tha, 
Dhoondhe koi begana, woh mai tha, 
Jald khatam hua sayana, woh mai tha, 
Qafan udaa, toh jaana, woh mai tha

...araaish apni

‎~ ~ ~
ya 'rabb', kaisi hai araaish apni,
dushman salaam karte hai,
aur dost badnaam karte hai

...battles are same

~ ~ ~

our battles are same,

those little games,

quest for fame,

calling names,

shadows of shame,

endless blame,

burning in flames,

our journey is same,

you or I or whatever the name!
