In Search of Divine

En dinoh tumse koi baatein nahi houti meri, Din toh houte hai mere, raatein nahi houti meri. Khubsurat hai sama mann mein ajab si aag hai, Ladkhadateh hai kadam baahein nahi houti teri. Tere ghar se joh gujurata rastaa voh mera hua, Majileh phir bhi hai dur, raahein nahi houti meri.

Ek nazar se dekhtaa hu toh, duniya mein gham hi gham hai, [material] Aur dusari se dekhu toh, be intahaa pyar, [spritual] par douno se ek saath dekhnaa, koi hame na shikha paaya, na khud hi shik paye hai.

Es tej chalti duniya mein hum, bahaut hi piche reh gaye, sachhai se sar jhuk gaya, dum ghut gaya par seh gaye. thokar lagi, aasu gire, khuch marte marte reh gaye, Es tej chalti duniya mein hum bahaut hi piche reh gaye.

EK NAZARA HAI KE NAZARE MEIN, UNKE AANE SE PHOOL KHILTE HAI, VOH HUME PYAAR SE BULATI HAI, HUM UNHE SAYARI SUNATE HAI. UNKI AAKHO KI LAMBI GEHRAYI, HUM TOH RUK-RUK-KE SAFAR KARTE HAI. UNKI KATIL SI HALKI AANGADAE, HUM UNHE DEKH-DEKH JITEH HAI. UNKE CHU-NE SE DIL KO CHAIN MILE,         PHIR HUMEIN CHU LE VOH, ENTAJAAR KARTE HAI.

Es jalti hui nadiyo se haste-haste jana hai, Unn rakh hui cheezou ko duniya main lana hai, Har vakt badalte aadmi ki jeet ko harana hai, Dukh ke diyoo se zindagi ke sach,main Zeel-meelana hai.

JIVAN EK KHEL Es khel ke jaise jivan mein, Mein ek dafa jeeta hi nahi, Fhir bhi has ke khelunga ese, Kab jeet mile pata hi nahi. Khabie tere sang khabie uske ke sang, Ab khelo mein kis-kis ke sang, Apno ne mujhe jinda na rakha, Tuj se to mera  rista hi nahi.

JIVAN KA HISAAB KITAAB Es dukh bhare jahan ka ehsaan maanta hu,          Mein aaj ka hi apse hisab mangta hu, Kya kho gaya hai hume,          Kya aaj sukh hai paya, Bas joothi shano-shorat ,          Aur jothi sab ki kaya, Jo pas hai hamare,          Vo us nadi kinare, Jaha dubi sab ki kasti, Sapne tute hamare, Yeh jaankar bhi hum-tum, Baithe hai us sahare, Jo saath de hamesha,       (Kare) sapne sach hamare.

Es joothi duniya mein, Sabse jootha hai ensaan. Fhir bhi kehta hai sabse voh,         Dekho meri shaan. Joothe uske vaade hai,         Aur jootha hai emann. Bas khab hi uski chahat hai, Aur khab hi ek pehchaan. Pata bhi hai en khabo ko,   Khabo mein meri jaan. Sach ki esko kuch khabar nahi, Jooth hi eska kuraan. Kyu ki es joothi duniya mein,   Sabse jootha hai ensaaan.

Eehsaas yeh hua hai ke, saas tham gayi,  (1) Dekha tum he bas ek nazar, toh voh bhi jam gayi, Bas ek nazar se teri, duniya badal gayi, Ek tu hai ek mein hu, baaki toh khuch nahi  (1).
