maskhari

dekhiye jindagi ki
ki hamari jaan jab jahan atki
wahin takdir ne tamasha khada kar diya

jung

barambaar jindagi ne jab patthar par de mara
hum phir uthe, aur jindagi ko lalkara
ke jo haar kar baith jayen
un logon main se hum nahi

wajood

main ko jis may se bhariye
wahi nasha chadh jayega
usi ke hone se
tera hona ban jayega

mohabbat

log kahte hain ki sab kuch hai
hum poochte hain baki kya hai?
maykhane main may nahi
toh saki kya hai

bande

tu aansuon ko rok nahi
bahne de
ke dil thora aur paak ho jayega

mohabbat

kitna bhi chahoon
ki main kuch aur paaon
lekin mohabbat wahin
jahan ghans ki chaukhat pe
subah ki auns jamin
apne aap hai
apne aap nahi

-random, meaningless loftiness

dohraav

itni baar wahi khyaal dohraye
ki dar hai khyalon main kahin mohabbat na kho jaye
duniyadaari ke chakkar main kahin zaalim na ho jaye

- trying to fight politics at work, being theatrical

jigar

jahan jeetne ki gunzaish nahi
marna tay hai
jo aisi baazi khele
use jigar khehte hain

(being fimly :) )

obviously, haar ke jitne wale ko..

e juari dil

jo sab kuch danv par lagaya
jab haare toh dukh lajib hai
haariye magar besahara na baniye
ke mohabbat sirf paane ka naam nahi

achanak

achanak samna hua
hum khade rah gaye
woh muskara ke chal diye
hum dekhte rah gaye

- a friend on suddenly meeting rahul bose in a mall

hum chup hain ki

kya baat karein tere ashq ki
hamari ankh se ho kar gira hai
kya baat karein tere dard ki
hamare dil se ho kar guzara hai

aakhir

kaise faiz yahan aa khade
na samay saath hai na muqaddar
aur dil kaafir

(kaafir=unbeliever)

sparsh

ke faiz hum ghadiyan na rok paye
haath choota saath choota
hum pardes chale aaye
lekin woh sparsh phir bhi na jaaye

Bazicha e atfal

is a ghazal by Ghalib. Don't understand it completely, but like it anyways. Link here and translation in comments.

Oh this song

is good. That's the Kailash Kher version, and here's the Atif Aslam version, if you like him.

kya kahen ki

kabhi socha na tha ki faiz aise marenge
ki log baatein karenge

(being theatrical)

Snow

It has snowed in boulder today. Our appointment was at 5. I had come home from lunch after work, so I could prepare all the documents early. I wore my best shirt. It was still snowing at 4:30 when I got out. I took a last couple of snaps from the digital camera, and headed for the bank, where I was to handover the title. It was snowing heavily. The song 'bhoola tujhe' played, I turned the volume to max, rolled down the windows to feel the snow. Then just out of emotion or love don't know which, I cleaned her dashboard, I patted my car and teared up uncontrollably. Before I let her go, I was with her with all my heart, just that once, for a few moments. And it snowed today. We exchanged some docments, the new owner and I, signed a few things, I got a check and dropped her off to the new owner's residence. I had accidentally given my house keys along with my car keys. That was embarrassing. Anyways, told the new owner a couple of things, like to use 87 fuel, and not run it on low gas, and that was it. My friend who was with me at the bank, drove me back. And it snowed today. We went out to get some soup, my friend and I, and I counted the number of people who had driven her. I was happy that almost all of my close friends and family had driven her..oh I forgot including my little niece, she's held the steering too! And it has snowed today. I love the snow. Before I let her go, I wanted to be with her with all my heart, this once in snow. And I got to do it. Today, it was good luck. My friend fed me and drove me up the flagstaff road and we stood there watching the boulder valley covered in clouds. And that was it.

Unsettled

To learn the ways of the practical people. Learnt that they choose the better offer in all matters. That comes first, everything else later.

Sprint to Catch

I like running. And more so sprinting, randomly, to catch a train, bus, or a meeting in the office. And so I like this first scene in this video a lot, the background score simply amazing and fitting the scene
