Dard Ke Phool Bhi Khilte Hein Bikhar Jaate Hein
Zakhm kaise bhi hon kuchh roz mein bhar jaate hein
Us dariche mein bhi ab koi nahin aur ham bhi
Sar jhukaaye huey chupchaap guzar jaate hein
Raastaa roke khadi hai yahi uljhan kabse
Koi poochhe to kahen kyaa ki kidhar jaate hein
Naram aavaaz, bhali baaten muhazzab lahje
Pehli baarish mein hi ye rang utar jaate hein

Writers Block
For oft I have a writers’ block,
When there is silence, there is calm,
Just like the moment before a storm..
When the clouds are high, the winds are fierce,
But the drops of rains cease to appear..
When I want to sing, you want to dance,
But the music leaves us in trance..
When I want to speak, you want to hear,
But silence reigns and the words disappear..
‘Coz oft I have a writers’ block..

Parakhna Mat - Jagjit Singh
Parakhna mat parakhne mein koi apna nahi rehta
Kisi bhi aaine me der tak chehra nahi rehta
Bade logo se milne mein humesha fasala rakhna
Jaha dariya samader se mila dariya nahi rehta
Tumhara sheher to bilkul naye andaaz wala hai
Humare sheher mein bhi ab koi humsa nahi rehta
Mohabbat ek khushboo hai hamesha saath chalti hai
Koi insaan tanhayee mein bhi tanha nahi rehta

Small Miracles..
Miracles happen and when they do, they ignite an endless smile that can only suprise others watching you.
In my quest to absorb the spirit and beauty of my city, Mumbai, I decided to take a bus to Colaba from Tardeo via Marine Drive. Having spent little time in Mumbai over the past year or so, I just enjoyed the ride, looking at the roads and streets that I have been travelling ever since I remember.
While I was so lost enjoying the city, I did not realise that I left my glasses in the bus when I had to get down. I did not let the loss disappoint me and carried on. An hour later I was ready to head back home, and wanted to take a bus ride again! I declined an offer to get dropped home and looked for a bus on the same route to return home.
A sight of Marine Drive from far, and I could not resist getting down from the bus and taking a stroll despite the afternoon sun! I sat down to look at the Scorpios on the famous rocks on Marine Drive. Over the past couple of years, the Scropios have become quite a regular sight and it complements the feeling that the place brings you.
After half an hour, I returned to the bus stop and hopped in the first bus that I got. In a crowded bus I spotted a familiar face in the TC. After confirming from him that he was the TC in the bus that dropped me to Colaba, I asked him if he spotted my glasses. He declined saying that he checked the bus after all the passengers got down, but did not find any items.
While the crowd receded, I started checking if I could find my eyes, and struggled. As the miracle would have it, the TC spotted my glasses next to a couple and I could not stop smiling at my luck! I could have got a new pair, but still, the incident was pretty amazing!

Safar Me Dhoop To Hogi - Jagjit Singh
Safar me dhoop to hogi, jo chal sako to chalo

dushman ko bhee seene se lagana nahin bhoole
dushman ko bhee seene se lagana nahin bhoole
hum apne buzurgon ka zamana nahin bhoole
tum aankhon ki barsaat bachaaye huye rakhna
kuch log abhi aag lagaana nahin bhoole
ye baat alag haath qalam ho gaye apne
hum aapki tasveer bananaa nahin bhoole
ik umr huyee main to hansi bhool chuka hoon
tum ab bhee mere dil to dukhaana nahin bhoole
