Mann Ki Baat

Shabd jo na bayaan kar payein,

aankhon mein hi padh lo

Wo mann ki baat.

Kuch sapne hain,

Kuch Armaan hain.

Chamakti aankhon mein hain

Wo Mann ki baat.

Kai yaadein hain,

Kuch waadein hain.

Bheegi palko se chhanakti

Mann ki baat.

Kuch unkahe bol,

Jo na kabhi hue bayaan.

Koi unsuni fariyad,

Jaise khaali mayaan.

Inhi nazron mein padh lo

Wo Saari kahani.

Kuch nahi kitabein,

Kuch behad purani.

Rain basera banaye

Jaise Rahi Har raat,

Inn aankhon mein padh lo,

Mere mann ki baat.

Yaad toh Aani Hi Thi...

Standing at that threshold of my life where past and future appear better planned out than the present. This poem is a dedication to my family.

Yaad toh aani hi thi.

Sabse hatke

unn choti baaton ki

Jinhe Mujhe pyaar sikhaya.

Wo Har rishta,

Jo ek umra tak nibhaya.

Yaad toh aani hi thi...

Wo goad mein gaadi se ghar tak lana.

Wo gadde Ki fislan banana.

Wo behoshi Ka natak karna

Aur Meri gudgudi se uth jana.

Yaad toh aani hi thi...

Dhoop mein nahla kar sukhana.

Wo loriyan gaake humein sulana.

Wo raaton ko darwaza khadka ke darana.

Ulat-Pulat gana sunaake, hamare hosh udana.

Yaad toh aani hi thi...

Aadhi raat ko garma-garam paranthe pakana.

Ravivar ko dahi-doodh se nehlana.

Raat ko Lahore ki kahaniyan sunana.

Dinbhar aapas mein roothna-manana.

Yaad toh aani hi thi...

Har nayi gudiya ki gardan marodna.

Khud hi ladkar mujhse roothna.

Khud hi maarke, apni Shikayat karna.

Jahan bhi jaye, mere liye tohfa lana.

Yaad toh aani hi thi...

Wo laad-pyaar.

Kabhi thodi Si fatkaar.

Wo aam Ka meetha achaar.

Har teej, Har tyohar.

Kai bhooli-bisri raah..

Ek umar Ka saath.

Yaad toh aani hi thi...
