Tanhai

Ghame tanhai na hoti to kya hota,

Gham na hota to aur bhi tanha hota...

Gham hi to hai jisne har pal apna samjha,

warna khshiyon ke jafa me yu hi bikhra rahta....

pighalti shama ne pucha yu bikhre kyu ho

bola main, roshan ho gar itna to pighalte kyu ho...
dhalte "Ufaq"(suraj) ne kaha mujhse yu ghamghin kyu ho

kaha maine bolo roz dhalte kyu ho....

I remember...

I remember
Your last words
Can’t forget
Your last glimpse

I search for you
In the shadows of love
I wander for you
In the deserts of thirst

You left me
In a lonely island
You vanished
In the clouds dark

But dear love
Did you ever come
To see me changing
In a silent stone

I am now a living statue
Waiting for you
To come and touch me
And give me life

I want to breathe again
I want a last smile
Before I die
Give me a last tear…

Come make me feel
That I was loved once
Before I slept
In the deep graveyard…

Tere talabgar hum na the...

Tere talabgar hum na the
Hamnawa tere hum na the
Phir bhi kho ke tumhe
Kyu base ho mujh me tum
Paun tumhe chaha na tha
Chahun tumhe socha na tha
Pa ke tumhe kho na saka
Paya nahi, kho na saka
Kyu ab bhi yaad ate ho
Kyu neendo se jagate ho
Kyu Ankhon me base ho tum
Man me, tan me kyu ho tum
Jaun tum se door kahan
Mere rahnuma ho tum
Daman churaun kis tarah
Nazrein bachaun kis tarah
Meri dhadkanein teri tarah
Teri justaju meri dastan
Tere naam shabe hijr hai
Mere ashq ki zuban ho tum

Tune Tan Man Me...

Tune tan man me
Yu utara hame
Dil ki dhadkan se
Itna chaha hame
Kuch adhura hai
Jism kahli hai
Tum gaye jab se
Kuch le gaye mujh se
Main wahi pe hu
Ab bhi zinda hun
Aankh pyasi hai
Ek jhalak de do
Teri ahat hai
Koi bhi aaye
Teri khushbu hai
Har jagah tum ho
Kash tum aao
Sans baki hai
Kafan pe mere
Hath rakh jao
 Mana ulfat me
Befawa main hun
Pyar kho kar bhi Bas tumhara hun…

Tere naam kar diya

Zindagi ka har simt,
Aye Kashish humne aaj tere naam kar diya
Phulon ko, hawaon ko, humne ye paigam de diya
Aaj ki raat, ya to mila de hamein
ya fana kar de...
Shama ne ne khud jal ke,
parwane ke jumbish ko salaam kar liya
Paun tumhe, zindagi ki tamanna hai meri
Chu kar labon ko mere, tune ye kam bhi anjaam kar diya
Mere kabr pe do aansoo gira ke tumne
Aaj phir mere pyar ko badnaam kar diya..
