इज़हार ना किया तोः क्या हुवा,
दिल की बात केह नही पाये तोः क्या हुवा।

उनकी आंखों ने सब कुछ केह दिया,
उनकी जुबां से ना सुना तोः क्या हुवा।

दिल के कुछ पन्ने ऐसे होते हैं,
जिनको याद करने से तकलीफ होती है.

मगर जब जुबां से बयान होते हैं,
तोः दुनिया उसे शायरी कहती है.

हमारी उड़ान को कोई रोक सके, इतना दम इस ज़माने में नही।
ये तोः सिर्फ़ आघाज़ है, मंजिल हमारी सिर्फ़ तारों तक नही।

Abhi kuch daer aur yahan reh lene do

Kal toh jaakar kisi ke neeche kaam karna hai
Par aaj toh hume apne marzi ka maalik bane rehne do
Abhi kuch daer aur yahan reh lene do

Kal toh in kandhon par zimmedariyaan aa jayengi
Par aaj toh in par yaaron ke haath rehne do
Abhi kuch daer aur yahan reh lene do

Kal toh office mein baith kar deewaar par lagi ghadi ko hi dekhte rahenge
Par aaj iss khule aasmaan ke tale khade hokar uss chand ko taakhte rehne do
Abhi kuch daer aur yahan reh lene do

Kal toh hum waqt ke saath daud lagaya karenge
Par aaj toh hume waqt ki bezzati kar lene do
Abhi kuch daer aur yahan reh lene do

Kal toh aadhi aadhi raat tak kaam ke saath khelte rahenge
Par aaj raat toh doston ke saath khel lene do
Abhi kuch daer aur yahan reh lene do

Kal toh shayad gaane sunne ka hi waqt mile
Par aaj doston ke saath theatre me ek aur film dekh lene do
Abhi kuch daer aur yahan reh lene do

Kal toh sirf ghar se office aur office se ghar ka raasta naapte rahenge
Par aaj naye aur anjaane shehron ka safar tay kar lene do
Abhi kuch daer aur yahan reh lene do

Kal toh hum baithe baithe kabhi tanhaai mein yaad kar liya karenge
Par uske liye aaj kuch aur haseen palon ko yaadgaar bana lene do
Abhi kuch daer aur yahan reh lene do

When I was sick u became the cure
When I was angry or frustrated u would help me let it out

When I was happy u would always be there to celebrate
When I wanted time alone u helped me leave the crowd behind

When I wanted to go the distance u took on mile after mile without complaining
When I pushed u to the limit u took on the challenge with a roar

When people trusted me I believed in u
When I was incomplete u completed me

When I was slow u made me quick
When I was weak u made me powerful

When I wanted to play u transformed the road into an x box game
When I wanted to paint u transformed the roads into a canvas

From the scorching highways of Kutch to the Ghats of Abu
From the wet bad roads of MP to the cramped narrow gullies of Mominpura and Mirzapur
From cities to villages
From the drags to long trips

You were always by my side...
..always.

Indian Woman - kal, aaj au kal...

Kal tak meri pehchaan kisi aur ke naam ki mohtaaj thi
Aaj maine apna naam aasmaan par likh diya hai

Kal tak mere sapne, siwaaye mere, sabke the
Aaj meri in nazron mein mere aane wale kal ki tasveer hai

Kal tak, khwaish, is lafz se anjaan thi
Aaj mujhe in khwaishon ko haqeeqat mein badalna aata hai

Kal tak main sirf ek sundar taareef karne ki cheez thi
Aaj main auron ki nazar mein kabil-e-tareef hoon

Kal tak meri zubaan auron ke ishaaron par naachti thi
Aaj apni aawaz mujhe buland karna aata hai

Kal tak maine dard ko sehna seekh liya tha
Aaj apne haq ke liye ladna mujhe aata hai

Kal tak khoobsurati mere liye upari sajawat thi
Aaj maine is khoobsurati ko andar se mehsoos kiya hai

Kal tak mera har lamha kisi aur ka tha
Aaj, aur aanewala kal, sirf mera hai, sirf mera...

Go out there girl

Go out there, to learn
Go out there, to unlearn
And never allow anyone to tell you, you are incapable
Cause inability is not the same as incapability

Go out there, to achieve
Go out there, to win
And never be disappointed or depressed, when you fail
Cause every failure teaches u something

Go out there, to be happy
Go out there, to have fun
And never allow small speed breakers to slow you down
Cause the speed breakers are finite but the roads never ending

Go out there, to meet new people
Go out there, to make new friends
And never allow anyone to change you
Cause you are the most beautiful the way you are

Go out there, to explore
Go out there, to discover
And never do you think you are alone and lost
Cause we all are there with you, always

Go out there girl
But do come back soon
And never ever do you think that it’s a relief for us to not have you around
Cause we all will miss you very very much

ESCAPE

ESCAPE> the barriers of mind
ESCAPE> to a world of dreams and imaginations

ESCAPE> the race of rats
ESCAPE> to the never ending highways

ESCAPE> the daily monotonous routine
ESCAPE> to new challenges

ESCAPE> the air conditioned suffocating closed spaces
ESCAPE> to the feeling of wind in your hair

ESCAPE> the cacophony of humans
ESCAPE> to the serenity of mountains

ESCAPE> the dreary silence of inactivity
ESCAPE> to the ruffling of autumn leaves under the wheel

ESCAPE> the crowded artificially glittering cities
ESCAPE> to the full moon star studded skies

ESCAPE> the dynamics of relationships
ESCAPE> to the ergonomics of man and machine

ESCAPE> this society bound by rules
ESCAPE> to the wilderness which has no rules

ESCAPE> the virtual socialization on the web
ESCAPE> by hitting the roads with friends

ESCAPE> the pollution of air, mind and heart
ESCAPE> to the untouched innocence of the wild

ESCAPE>, just ESCAPE>

Is it speed or is it the distance?

Is it a 10 minute objective test or is it a 3 hour
exam.
Is it synopsis at the end or is it the whole chapter.
Is it the race track or is it the endless road through a
beautiful countryside.
Is it twenty20 or is it test match.
Is it a race or is it endurance.
Is it fast food/ takeaway or is it dining leisurely.
Is it sms or is it mails.
Is it short cut or is it the conventional.
Is it gambling/lottery or is it earning honestly.
Is it quick fix solution or is it a long term
strategy.
Is it acquiring new customers or is it keeping the
old ones satisfied.
Is it living life to the fullest today with no
regards for tomorrow or is it planning for the future.
Is it quick promotion through manipulation or is it
toiling hard and waiting for promotion.
Is it healing or is it torturing.
Is it crush or is it true love.
Is it the double digit number of firms on your resume
or is it silver jubilee in one firm.
Is it what we are tending more and more towards or is
it what we were earlier.

Is it speed or is it the distance.
Can this question have an answer?
Some will say it depends.
Some will say both.
What if we had to choose one?
Did I hear time????
But then doesn’t it depend on speed and distance.
Then again, is it speed or is it the distance.

Is it speed or is it the distance.

Many think it’s just a cheesy line on a biker’s T-shirt,
Guess, there is more to it

Kyun aajkal dil me yeh sawaal uth te hain.

Kyun din me khwaab dekhna bewakoofi hai.
Kyun khayaali pulaao pakaana bachpana hai.

Kyun pariyon ka desh sirf bachon ke liye hai.
Kyun zehen har cheez me nuks dhoondta hai.

Kyun dil darta hai har who cheez karne se jo bachpan me karte the.
Kyun kisi gaane par jab jhoom uth ta hai jiya, toh kadam nahi jhoomte.

Kyun kisi hunar me khojaane ke bajaae, hum use tolne lagte hain.
Kyun hum apne hi ird gird ki khoobsoorti se bekhabar rehte hain.

Kyun har harqat, har khwaaish ki safai deni padhti hai.
Kyun chote se chota ghum bhi zakham de jaata hai par choti choti khushiyaan
bagaer aahat ke guzar jaati hai,

Kyun aajkal zubaan se baddua nikalti hai.
Kyun dilon me pyaar ke bajaae dosron ki buraai bhari hai.

Kyun kisi ke dil me jagah na hote hue bhi, unse beintehaa mohabbat karna
paagalpan hai.
Kyun har rishtaa laen daen ke taraazu me tola jaa raha hai.

Kyun ensaan khud apni kadar nahi karta.
Kyun aajkal dil me yeh sawaal uth te hain.

HIGHWAY IN MY VEINS

The roar of the engine
The heat of the silencer
The swing of the rpm needle
The flicker of indicators

The trees flying by
The vehicles being pushed behind
The towns whizzing by
The road, km after km, being pushed behind

The corners swung into and out
The bridges jumped
The valleys dived into
The heights conquered

Let me be so always
Let me be free
Let me always be on the run
Let me always be on the highway

Why do I ride fast?

Why do I ride fast?
On empty highways when dawn
Is it to feel everything coming to life.
Or
Is it I want to get away from all worldly ties and responsibilities.

Why do I ride fast?
On filled highways at night
Is it because I feel I am among stars.
Or
Is it because I don’t feel dominated even though these trucks are so much bigger than me.

Why do I ride fast?
In cities
Is it because of the feeling of power I derive from making others appear stand still.
Or
Is it because I feel no matter how thick a mess I am in, I can always zoom out of it.

Why do I ride fast?
Why do I ride fast?
Is it I want to be noticed.
Maybe not
Maybe none of the above
But
Maybe riding fast I derive excitement and adrenaline rush without which I cannot pass even a
single day.
