Tu Zindagi

tu zindagi hai meri ya wafa hai
ya tu hi wo jannat ka rasta hai
tu khwab hai mera ya faisla hai
ya mere ehsaaso ka ashiya hai
tu pyas hai meri ya dariya hai
tu patjhad hai ya sawan ki thandi hawa hai
tu dil ki kashish hai jaha hai
tu mera hai ya koi sapna
mai pagli hu ya ye tera deewanapan hai
jaise saans ruki jal rahi dhadkan hai
tu barkha ke baad ki wo mehak hai
ya barish k pehle ki agan hai
tu din hai ya ratho ka lamha hai
ya unhi lamho ka mehma hai
tu amrith hai ya madhushala hai
ya un dono ka apna hi nasha hai
tu dyaan hai mera ya hosh kone ka ehsaas hai
tu dil hai mera dhadkan hai ya saans
tu bazigar hai ya manmeet hai
ya meri kavitao ka madur geet hai.

Mai Bus Tumhi Pe Marta Hun

Jazbaati sa ho jata hun jane kyun
jab jab tumhe yaad karta hun.
tum aaogi bhi kabhi k nahi meri jindagi me
bus isi baat se mai darta hun.

tum yaad karo na karo mujhko,
mai bus tumhi pe marta hun.

akeli si meri jindagi ka haseen pal hai tu.
bhulkar bhi bhulta nahi mera wo kal hai tu.
tujhe paane k liye mai aaj bhi,
kuchh bhi kar gujrata hun.

tum yaad karo na karo mujhko,
mai bus tumhi pe marta hun.

Tu Jane Na Kaun Hai Tu

तु न जाने कौन है तु,
फुलो के गुलिस्ता का सरताज है तु,
होंगे गुलशन मे गुल ह्जार
इन गुलो का गुलाब है तु,

तु न जाने कौन है तु,
संगीत जैसी आवा्ज का सुर-ताल है तु,
होती है जब अमावस कि रात तो,
उगते हुये सुरज का एह्सास है तु

तु न जाने कौन है तु,
उदासी भरे चेहरे की मुस्कान है तु
होते है जब गम के बाद्ल आसमान मे तो
इन बाद्लो के बीच से निकलता हुआ चांद है तु

तु न जाने कौन है तु,
ओस कि बून्दो जैसी ताजगी का एह्सास है तु,
आती है जब मेरे होठो पे उदासी कि आहट तो
हसता हु फिर भी मै,उस हसी का राज है तु

तु न जाने कौन है तु,
धड्कते हुये दिलो कि बेचैनी का नाम है तु,
तन्हाई मे बन्द होती है जब पलके मेरी
बह्ते हुये अश्को का सैलाब है तु

तु न जाने कौन है तु,
महकती हुई गर्म सांसो का गुमान है तु,
तड्पता रहा उमर भर पाने की चाह्त मे जिसको
उन रेशमी ख्वाबो का गुनह्गार है तु,

तु न जाने कौन है तु,
दिलो को जो सकून दे,वो आ्वाज है तु,
यु तो सुना है संगीत बहुत मैने,
सरगम से खनकती ,कोयल कि आ्वाज है तु,

तु न जाने कौन है तु,
चान्द्नी रातो के जज्बात है तु
है ढेरो रंग इस जहान मे मगर,
हाथो मे लगी मेहंदी का रंग है तु,

तु न जाने कौन है तु,
ख्वाबो मे जो आये,वो ताजमह्ल है तु,
लिखे तो रेत पे लाखो हसीन नाम मैने,
मेरा दिल जो धड्काये वही नाम है तु

तु न जाने कौन है तु,
भोर की पह्ली किरण का नाम है तु,
बजती है मन्दिर मे जब सुबह कि घन्टी तो
उस मधुर आवाज का एह्सास है तु!!!

तु न जाने कौन है तु,
मै न जानु कौन है तु,
मै तुझमे,तु मुझमे समाये कुछ इस तरह
कि मे जिस्म तु जान,मगर इतन भी न जाने तु,!!!!

Yaade

हर वक्त तेरी याद सताये है मुझे,देखु
जब भी चान्द को ,तेरी याद आये है मुझे,
परवाने की हर सान्स मे तो महकती है शमा मगर
जब जलती है शमा तो तेरी याद आये है मुझे

हर गुजरते लम्हे हुये लम्हे से बस तेरी ही याद आती है ,
पल पल हर पल,दिवाना दिवाना सा होने लगा हू मै
न जाने कब तु आये,मेरे कानो मे आ कर गुनगुनाये,
उल्फतो ने तेरी चलाया कुछ जादू इस तरह मुझ पे
कि खुद से भी अजनबी अजनबी रह्ने लगा हु,

यु तो कहते है लोग चान्द बिन चान्द्नी रात होती नही,
तेरी मासूम बातो बिन तो मेरी कोई रात कटती नही
क्यु तेरे प्यार ने मजबूर किया हमे इस कदर,
तुझे बिन देखे तो मेरी कोई सुबह शाम होती नही,

Pyar

मै जब भी तेरा रूप गडता हु तो सांचे टूट जाते है,
तेरी बाहो के आलिंगन मे नजारे भूल जाते है
तेरी मद भरी आंखो को क्या मालूम ओ जानेजा,
चलते मुसाफिर भी अक्सर रस्ते भूल जाते है

Jab Dil Toot-ta Hai

Jab dil toot-ta hai to awaz nahi aati
Mohabbat har kisi ko ras nahi aati
Ye to apni apni baat hai yaaro
koi to bhula nahi pata
Aur kisi kisi ko yaad nahi aati......

Humara bharat hum sabka bharat

Humara bharat,hum sab ka bharat,
Iss par na aaye koi bhi aafat;

Bharat mera abhimaan,
Bharat hai hamari shaan

Adbhut bharat ki sundarta, Jaise koi swarn haar,
pyara bharat, nyara bharat, isse hai hum sab ko pyaar;

sabse pyaar, desh hamaara,
karte hum use shat shat pranaam;

Ghotalo ki janjiro mein filhaal jakda hua hai humara pyara Bharat,
Tod kar saari zanjeeron ko, Aao milkar hum banaein Anookha Bharat;

Na aane denge hindustan par aafat
Hum sab dilayein muskurahat

Mera bharat tera bharat , hum sab ka hai ye bharat
anekta me ekta ki anuthi misal hai ye bharat
par dhere dhere kyu tukdo me bat ta ja raha hai mera bharat?

DESHBHAKTI KAVITA GEET - PYARA BHARAT DESH HAMARA

LAAL KILE PAR LAHRAATA TIRANGAA, BHARAT KI YEH SHAAN HAI;

APNE BHARAT KI SUNDARTA PAR HUM SABKO ABHIMAN HAI;

Themes Of Life

No measuring have i
As to know
Whether you are 4 or thee
The every moment i strive
To come to thee
But succeed not
As u r there to call me back
But to remember lincoln
I may slowly go ahead
But never retreat
B'cuz meeting & parting r the ways of living
We meet & part & last part
Never to meet again
But deeds 4 ever remain.

Bachppann

Bachpann ki wo dhundli yaadein
kash dobara jine ka mauka milta
bachpann ke wo dost purane
kash dobara milne ka mauka milta
bachpann ki wo baatay pyari
chehre pe hasi leeaai
par aankho me jo aansu aaye
kash unhe dobara hasi me badalne ka mauka milta
bachpann ki wo dhundli yaadein
kash dobara jine ka mauka milta
bachpann ke wo geet purane
kash dobara hume gane ka mauka milta
bachpann ke wo khel suhane
kash dobara khelne ka mauka milta
bachpann ke un har aarmaan ko
kash dobara sajone ka mauka milta
bachpann ki wo dhundli yaadein
kash dobara jine ka mauka milta.

चापलूस

यहाँ टैलेंट का नहीं,
होता है चापलूसों का सम्मान।
जो ना कर सके ये काम,
वो सहता है यहाँ तिरस्कार और अपमान।
कहते हैं कि आप सब,
है मेरे लिये समान ।
पर जब भी आई चमचों की बात,
तो ये भूले अपनें बयान ।
जाते है पास सबके यें,
जतानें खुद को महान ।
मगर जब बात हो कुछ आगे की,
तो बस इनके चमचे ही हैं महान ।
खत्म करता हूँ मैं ये कविता,
कहीं हो ना जाये किसी का अपमान ।
क्योंकि मेरें लिये तो हैं ये सभी,
अत्यंत सम्मानित इंसान ॥

Zindgi Tu Hansi Baddi Dur Se Nazar Aati Hai

Zindgi tu hansi baddi dur se nazar aati hai,
Jitna paas jao utna door nazar aati hai....

Mujhey apne Daman mein jo cheez nai mil pai,
Vo kyon gairon ke pahlu mein nazar aati hai

Tu chahe jitna bhi sitam kar mujh par,
mere dil mein abhi bhi kuchh sabr baki hai

Maine kabhi tuzhse koi Shikva nai kiya, Zindagi,
Phir tuzhe kyon muzhmein hee kami nazar aati hai

Tu Mere khwabon ko chahe alag kar de mujhse,
Meri haqiqat mere Khwabon ke karib rahti hai.

Mujhe malum nai muzhse tu chahti kya hai,
Teri taraf se har roz nayi maang nikal aati hai.

Kabhi baith mere saath kisi shab, E jindagi,
Gum dubo de Jaam mein apne jab tak ke sahar aati hai.

Ye Jindagi

kabhi dhoop si to
kabhi behti hawa si hai
kabhi chanchal hirni si
to kabhi udti ghata si hai
kabhi masum hai phoolo si
to kabhi dil ki dua si hai

Ye jindagi ye jindagi

kabhi khawabo me khoi si
to kabhi yaado me soyi si hai
kabhi tej bhagti si
to kabhi madham madham si hai

Ye jindagi ye jindagi

kabhi hai kadwi si
to kabhi mithi mithi si hai
kabhi dodti hagti si
to kabhi rooki rooki si hai

ye jindagi ye jindagi

पैगाम

जब नज़रे तुम पर पड़ती हैं,
तब साँसे मेरी बढती हैं|
जब साँसे मेरी चलती हैं,
वो याद तुम्हे बस करती हैं|
जब याद तुम्हारी आती है,
बस आंसू ही कुछ कहते हैं|
जब आंसू मेरे बहते हैं,
दिल में एक दर्द सा उठता है|
जब दिल मेरा यूँ रोता है,
एहसास अजब सा होता है|
जब हवा मुझे यूँ छूती है,
मेरे कानो में कुछ ये कहती है|
जब लहरों से मै लडती हूँ,
कुछ हिम्मत मुझमे आती है|
हम जल्द ही फिर से साथ होंगे,
शायद यही पैगाम ये देती है|

KHUDI

KHUDI

Khudi sae milker,ae main nae poocha
Kae tujh sae bardh ker,hai aur kiya,kiya

Sawaal sunker,wo muskuraya
Sawaal maera,usae lubhaya

Jawaab kuch is treh tha uska
Jawaab koi nahin hai,jis ka

Khudi sae bardh ker koi nahin hai
Khudi jahan hai,khuda wahin hai

Agar hai daulat ,jo tum ko ber-ter
Dasaega ek din ae naag bunker

Agar hai,chehrae pae naaz tumko
Rakhoonga ussae main baaz tumko

Sabhi ae cheezaen hain aani jani
Lagaegi waesae tumhaen suhani

Mera hai maqsad,tumhaen bachana
Sharar sae duniya ki hai chudana

Agar mujhae tum nae apna mana
Na jhooti duniya main dil lagana

AE maal-o-zar kae,zameen kae jhagdae
Na aesae jhagdoan main din bitana

bahut bura hai ,,bura zamana
Meri panahoan main khud ko lana

Ae RAZ ki baat main kahoongi
Khudi ki khtir main mer mitoongi

Khudi sae bardh ker koi nahin hai
Khudi jahan hai,Khuda wahin hai

My Best Friend

Today I found a friend,
Who knew everything I felt.

He knew my every weakness,
And the problems I've been dealt.

He understood my wonders,
And listened to my dreams.

He listened to how I felt about life & love,
And knew what it all means.

Not once did he interrupt me,
Or tell me I was wrong.

He understood what I was going through,
And promised he'd stay long.

I reached out to this friend
To show him that I care.

To pull him close and let him know
How much I need him there.

I went to hold his hand
To pull him a bit nearer.

And realized that this perfect friend I found
Was nothing but my mirror.

Kuch Yun

Kuch yun dil machla hai aaj likhne ke liye,
Haath na ruke kisi naye falsafe ke liye...

Roothi tanha zindagi aaj bhi jaari hai doston,
Haari nahi hai himmat mushkilon se ladne ke liye....

Be-paigaam hum aaj is mehfil mein hue jo shaamil,
Umeed hai gussa na ho ap is tishnagi ke liye....

Bharosemand haalat ne saath na diya mera,
Dohraai hui baat hai fir se karne ke liye...

Roshni aaj bhi kayam hai mehfil ki waise,
Keh gaya tha dost se diye jala rakhne ke liye....

Manzil hai meri ya nahi koi kaise kahoon,
Jitna aata hun kareeb woh badti hai door jaane ke liye...

Ab yehi raah par shayad tujhe hai marna
AGar ho koi zindagi jeeni to baad marne ke liye...

Aisay main mujhay tum nay bohat yaad kiya hoga

Aisay maiN mujhay tum nay bohat yaad kiya hoga
seenay maiN ajab aik talatum sa bapa hoga
monh zor say jazbooN nay jo bechain kiya hoga
uljhee hoee sansooN nay mera naam liya hoga
rukhsaar pay kakul nay preshaan kiya hoga
Aisay maiN mujhay tum nay bohat yaad kiya hoga


moajooN ki tarah sochaiN bekal hoi jati hooN
parday pay tasawwer k , ik shakal bnaati hooN
ya zehn k khalyooN maiN tahreek si lati hooN
bay wajha sahi phir bhi , dil thaam liya hoga
Aisay maiN mujhay tum nay bohat yaad kiya hoga


bay naam kasak say jab raataiN sulag uThti hooN
aawaaz say boondooN ki saansaiN dehak uThti hooN
aahaT pay her ik dil ki kalyaaN lehak uThti hooN
aanchal ka kinara tab daantooN maiN liya hoga
Aisay maiN mujhay tum nay bohat yaad kiya hoga


shiddat ka ho jo moasam ya kuch badal raha ho
taareek tanha kamra ya tum ko Dass raha ho
chori say khawab koi aankhooN maiN bass raha ho
takye ko dahal ker jab pahloo maiN kiya hoga
Aisay maiN mujhay tum nay bohat yaad kiya hoga


rukhsaar pay kajal say koi til jo bnao gay
zulfooN ko bekhairo gay ya ghaza lgao gay
aaeinay ki marzi say jab khud ko sajao gay
or jab bhi kabhi solah singhaar kiya hoga
Aisay maiN mujhay tum nay bohat yaad kiya hoga

WAQT

Waqt bud-dua bhi hai
Waqt ek dua bhi hai

Waqt hukmaraan hai
Waqt iltija bhi hai

Waqt hai inaam bhi
Waqt ek saza bhi hai

Waqt bae-zabaan kabhi
Waqt ek sada bhi hai

Waqt hai ameer bhi
Waqt ek gada bhi hai

Bae-maza hai ae kabhi
Waqt main maza bhi hai

Waqt hai tera kabhi
Waqt ae mera bhi hai

Waqt hai bura kabhi
Waqt ae bhala bhi hai

Waqt dard bhi hai
Waqt ek dawa bhi hai

आँखें

सावन था बहुत ज़्यादा फिर कैसे जली आँखें
आँखों में पले आँसू आँसू में पली आँखें

वो सामने है मेरे ना ये ऐतबार आया
छू के उसे देखा कभी अपनी मली आँखें

वो छोड के गया जब मैं घर को आ गया तब
तलशे यार में भटकी पर हर गली आँखें

है ये उन दीनो की बातें जब प्यार ना हुआ था
भोला सा था चेहरा थीं कितनी भली आँखें

सौ बार ये कहा था मेरे ख्वाब ना भरो तुम
तुम ने बिगाड़ ली हैं ये अच्छी भली आँखें

लोगों ने ये भी देखा फिर राज़ क्यों ना जाना
जब चिता जल रही थी ना साथ जली आँखें

इक रात ऐसी गुज़री वो ख्वाब में ना आए
इक आग सी लगी थी शब भर जली आँखें

रुक जाता हूँ मैं अक्सर थकती नही ये लेकिन
मुझ से हमेशा आगे हर सफ़र चली आँखें

जब सब कुछ मिट गया है तू सामने क्यों आया
मेरी ये जली आँखें तेरी भी जली आँखें

जब भी उसे देखा दिल की नज़र से देखा
वो तब भी नज़र आया जब मेरी ढली आँखें

नही

अब मेरे दर्द का अंदाज़ नही
तुम जो कल थे वो आज नही

हर किसी से ये नही निभता
प्यार रवायत ओ रिवाज़ नही

मेरी बात ग़ज़ल में कह दूँगा
फिर कभी मगर आज नही

वो चला गया उसे जाना था
गया है मुझ से नाराज़ नही

बातें ऐसी हैं कि प्यार मिले
बस मेरे पास अंदाज़ नही

किस हाल में हूं जान ने के सिवा
उस को भी काम काज़ नही

मेरी सोच भी खुदा जैसी है
आख़िर नही आगाज़ नही

कत्ल कर के सर उठा के चल
मूह छुपाने का याँ रिवाज़ नही

तुम ने क्या खो दिया मासूम
ये समझोगे मगर आज नही

Dosti

phoolon si nazuk cheez hai dosti
surkh gulab ki mehak hai dosti
sada hasne hasaane wala pal hai dosti
dukho ke sagar me ek kashti hai dosti
kaanto ke daaman me mehakta phool hai dosti
zindagi bhar saath nibhane wala rishta hai dosti
rishto ki nazukta samjhati hai dosti
rishto me vishvas dilati hai dosti

Friendship Poems

Your Friendship

Thank you for your friendship
It means so much to me
You're always just a touch away
Whenever I've a need

God blessed me so very much
The day he gave me you
In all life's joys and sorrows
You have helped me through

And every time I need you
I say a little prayer
And in my heart I feel you near
Like Jesus were standing there

Our God made you perfectly
I wouldn't change a thing
With every storm within my life
It's a rainbow, to me, you bring

God sends angels every day
In the form that we call friends
I thank our Lord for sending you
Our friendship will never end

True Friendship Is Like

Friendship is like the sun above thats always shining bright
Friendship is like a golden smile that warms the coldest night
Friendship is a priceless gift of faithfullness and grace
and nothing in this world could ever take true friendships place

---

True Friends Are Like Diamonds

True Friends are like Diamonds
Precious and Rare
False Friends are like Autumn leaves
Found Everywhere
When my house is burning down
My friends will be there with me
Toasting marshmallows

---

Are We Friends Or Not?

Are we friends or are we not
you told me once but i forgot
so tell me now and tell me true
so i can say im here for you
and if i die before you do
ill go to heaven and wait to you
i'd give the angels back their wings
and risk the lost of everything
just to show my friendship is true
and have a friend just like you

---

A Friend Like You

There's lots of things
With which I'm blessed
My problems have been few
But of all, this one's the best
To have a friend like you.

In times of trouble
Friends will say
"Just ask, I'll help you through it."
But you don't wait for me to ask
You just get up and do it!

And I can think
of nothing more
That I could wisely do
Than know a friend
And be a friend

And have a friend like you

---

Don’t Ask Me..!

Don't ask me why we're friends
The best relations don't need reasons
They just need one single promise:
The promise to stand by in all seasons

Don't ask me when we made that promise
It really doesn't need to be spoken
You know it in your heart, and I know it in mine
That this is never going to be broken

Don't ask me what's not good about you
We're all different and make our own mistakes
I wouldn't want to change you, but id you want to change
I'll give you the help that it takes

Don't ask me why I want you around me
Cuz I myself am not too certain
Is it just because of the habit of you,
Or because you're a whole lot of fun!?

Don't ask me why I need you to be with me
Cuz yet again, I'm not sure
To be a mirror and show me my faults,
Or to encourage, motivate, and reassure!?

Don't ask me when's the best time I spent with you
Special people make all times special
And the kind of person you are,
Just by being a part, you make life beautiful!

Don't ask me what's great about you
It would be impossible to choose one
But it would be one of these two
Your honesty, or your heart full of compassion

Don't ask me what's kept us together for so long
I don't think it has to do with you or me
I really believe this is God's plan
And that you're a part of my destiny!

Don't ask me why I scream at you when I do
It's a reason I'm reluctant to give
You don't do things all that wrong;
It's just that I know you'd forgive

Don't ask me why I'm not all sugary sweet with you
Even you know you'd find it odd!
Don't you always expect (and in heart of heart, want)
Me to check thy erring with a rod!

Don't ask me what the future holds
You know it and I know it too
We're always going to be the friends we are
Wherever we are, whatever we do

Don't ask me why I wrote these verses
Cuz the only reason is that you asked me to be sweet
But you really have to know this
Even when I'm not saying it, I mean it!

Don't ask me why I'm writing this last verse
It' a silly reason - to make the count thirteen!
Yea, it' been that long since we'e friends
And what a brilliant experience it's been!!

To Someone Very Close

Thank you for believing in me
when I found it difficult
to believe in myself...
for saying what I've needed
to hear sometimes,
instead of what I've wanted
to hear...
for siding with me...
and for giving me
another side to consider.

Thank you for opening
yourself up to me...
for trusting me with your thoughts
and disappointments and dreams...
for knowing you can depend on me
and for asking my help
when you've needed it.

Thank you for putting so much
thought and care and imagination
into our friendship.. .
for sharing so many nice times
and making so many
special memories with me.

Thank you for always being honest with me
being kind to me...being there for me.

Thank you for being a friend to me
in so many meaningful ways.

A TRUE FRIEND YOU

Pal you are, your shoulders strong
A bolster strong, my head to rest
To console, to pat, to give a hug
You're always there an all life mate.
All alone I lived a child
Hide and seek, I played it lone
Never I knew the strength of two
And love so full before we met.
Beacon you are, you're full of life
And life you have that's full of love
To share a smile, to share a cry
You're always there with arms all stretched.
Often I fumble, falter and foil
With hopes all lost and knees all weak
Strength that flows from you all time
Wakes me up to start life fresh.
Thank you pal, a word very short
For greatness shown in word and deed
Grateful am I to God for you
A great friend true this life all full.

---

FRIENDS ARE LIKE

FRIENDS ARE LIKE A SUN
ALL KNOWS THEY WITH US

BUT JUST LIKE A NIGHT
FOR SOME TIME SOME ONE FEELS THAT

THEY ARE NOT WITH US
BUT THEY ALWAYS REMEMBER YOU

& RISE LIKE A SUN ,IN YOUR DIFFICULTIES

O DONT FORGET THE FRIENDS
FRIENDS FOREVER WITH US

Friendship

If I could catch a rainbow
I would do it just for you
And share with you its beauty
On the days you're feeling blue

If I could build a mountain
You could call your very own
A place to find serenity
A place to be alone

If I could take your troubles
I would toss them in the sea
But all these things I'm finding
Are impossible for me

I cannot build a mountain
Or catch a rainbow fair
But let me be what I know best
A friend who's always there

A Warm Hug

Even though I never hear your tender voice
Of tone melodious and sweet
I know your thoughts you'll always share
As if we always meet

Even though you never walk into my home
In your own special way
I will always view your inner soul
With all your loving traits

Even though I never see your loving face
Or look into your eyes
You will still be my forever friend
The best that God could find

Even though I never feel your gentle hand
And clasp it in my own
Your heart I'll still forever hold
For that's where I'm at home

Though I can never know your lifelong ballad
Yet, a tune of joy you are
Sweetest music in my soul
A song within my heart

Good Morning

Good morning to you my friend,
The sun is up and shining bright;
Thought I'd drop by just to say hi
Looks like a beautiful day!

I have a pot of coffee brewing
So come on over and sit awhile.
It helps to start the day off right
I even have fresh milk from the cow!

We'll laugh and chat the morning away
And have a delightful time, you and I.
Then we?ll say our good-byes for another day
Till the next early morning sunrise!

Dil pighalte nahi unn darindo ke

Hey Ram hey Allah hey Wahe Guru
Kyun chup ho gehri neend meiN ho
Insaan insaan se sharminda hai
Apni rachi iss duniya ko dekho

Phir se aapke gulistaaN meiN
Yeh kaisi bedard chali aandhi
Patta patta murjha gaya
veeran huyi khilati dharti

Dekho pyari si komal bachi
Yeh thi nazuk si nanhi kalee
phool ban ne se pehle
Kyunkar lash mei tabdeel huyi,

Lahoo ke darya mein gumsum
Nayi dulhan ke sapne doob gaye
AankhoN meiN adhoore khwab liye
Apne piya ki lash se hai lipptee

Dekho woh maayein bilakh raheeN
Lippat ke lakhte jiggar ki lashoN se
AshkoN ke dariya baha raheeN
Dil pighalte nahi unn darindo ke

kiska suhaag hai ujharh gaya
Yeh kiska lahoo hai beh raha
LashoN ke tukdo se chunn lo
Khoon hindu hai ya musalmaa......

सीमाएँ ज़रूरी हैं

मैं हमेशा तुम से कहता रहा कि ,
सीमाएँ ज़रूरी हैं हर एक जगह
जब तक किनारों से बँधकर रहती है
गंगा जीवनदायिनी कहलाती है
जब किनारे तोड़कर चल पड़ती है
जीवनदायिनी भी भयावह बन जाती है
तुमने भी तो मुझे टूटकर प्यार किया था
सारे बंधन सारी सीमों को दरकिनार किया था
मैं शिव नहीं था ना ही बन पाया
नहीं संभाल पाया तुमहरे प्यार की गंगा को
बहता रहा , ना डूब पाया ना निकल पाया
अचानक मैं उसमें अपना वजूद तलाशने लगा
और मेरा अहम मुझे कचोटने लगा
फिर उस धारा को बाँधने की कोशिश करने लगा
पर मैं ना बाँध पाया तुम्हारे प्यार की धारा को
और खुद की अशक्षमता का दोष तुम्हें देने लगा
आज मैं और मेरा मैं किनारे पे बैठे ,
इठलाती लहरों को देखते ये सोच रहे हैं,
की तुम तो अंततः सागर से मिल ही जाओगी
क्या मेरे लिए फिर से कोई गंगा उतार कर आएगी ?

Mera koTha mera muqaddar hai

Mera koTha mera muqaddar hai
Kaun kahta hai yeh mera ghar hai

Haar ke zindagee se aayee hooN
Main yahaN kub Khushee se aaye hooN

Main ne pahne jo paaoN men ghuNgroo
Mujh ko kahne laga tawaaiif too

Yeh nah socha keh Gham ki maaree hooN
Apni majbooriyoN se haari hooN

Jab baghawat meN sir uThaya hai
Main ne zalim ka koRa khaya hai

Ek pal bhee jo paaoN rok liya
Mujh ko subne lahoo lahaan kiya

Yaad aata hai mujh ko bhee bachpan
Mere maaN-baap unka woh aaNgan

mere dil per bhee mastee chaayee thee
maiN ne bhe ik patang uRaayee thee

Aaj Khud bun gayee hooN ek pataNg
Roz uRtee hoon ek Door ke sung

Mere paaon haiN aur ghuNgroo haiN
Ab yeh aanKheN haiN aur aansu haiN

Muskurahat ka ab na koyii nishasn
Naam tou ab bhi hai mira

Kaun hai jis se apna Haal kahoon
Sab yeh kahte haiN main tawaaiif hooN

Sapne salone leke aayi neendiya rani

Sapne salone leke aayi neendiya rani
Soja beta soja sunayoon pariyon ki kahani
Resham ki dori makhmal ka bistar
Maa ke aanchal mein rahe teri zindgani
Soja beta soja sunayoon pariyon ki kahani

Badha hoke karna aise kaam tu
Ban.na sahara apne maa baba ka din raat tu
baccho ke man ko kabhee na dukahana
samjhna badon kee har baat too
har hansee me mil jaye teree nishanee
Soja beta soja sunayoon pariyon ki kahani

Ek din le aana pyaari si dulhan
lal jode mein pariyon kee shazadee
too apne hee man se karana
ya mere man se karana apnee too shadee
god men khilayoongee phir teree nishanee
Soja beta soja sunayoon pariyon ki kahani

Milke aana tum apne chanda mama se
Neendiya lejaye tuze taron ke sehar mein
ya taron ko utha ke laye
raat bhar ko tere ghar mein
chod ek jaye chandni ki nishani
Soja beta soja sunayoon pariyon ki kahani

tere intezar mai

Aaj mai tanha baitha hoon tere intezar mai
Kal the ham sath-sath apne se sansar mai

Zamane ki majbooriyon ne tujhe rok rakha hai
Aur mere junoon ne mujhe yahan la rakha hai

Tu na aati hai, par teri har wo baat yaad aati hai
Kal jo khil-khila kar tu hans rahi thi aaj muskati hai

Nazar ke saamne nahi hai tu par har jageh nazar aati hain
Saanso ko tham le pagli, ke teri khushboo yahan tak aati hai...

Aankhen band karta hoon to wahi hansta chehra nazar aata hai
Aur haya se wo chhupaya chehra bhi mujhe tadpa jata hai

Bhekhudi mai badhte wo tere haath mere haath ki taref
Qyamat ke har wo ek bosa rah-rah kar yaad aata hai

Kis ada se wo tera dekhna meri aankhon mai der talak
Kahe-ankahe baton ki wo mala utar dena mere gale tak

Muskurate huye wo tera choom lena mere galon ko
Aur fir kehna, pagal kahin ke...

Na khatam hone wali baten teri, jane kahan se aati thin
Aur mera khamoshi se takte rahna apni bekhayali main

Doob jana chahta hoon teri un mast aankhon ki gehrai mai
Ke ab to ye lagta hai, milega ka sukun sirf teri bahon mai

Guzar jayen mere sham-o-saher tere pyar ke daman mai
Jeene-Marne ka mazaa mai paon tere ishq ke daman mai

Ruk jaye dharti, ye gagan jhuk jayen, chand taare sab aj
Ke mere dil ki sadaa kahegi mere payar ki deewangi aaj

Bas, ke aaj, mujhe yaqeen hai, hoga khatam ye intezar
Tu aayegi, aayegi, ke aaj milegi mujhse meri bahaar....

Intjaar

Log yun dekh kar hanns dety hain
Tu mujhe, bhool gayaa ho jaise

Maut bhii aaii to is naaz ke saath
Mujh pay, ehsaan kiyaa ho jaise

Aise anjaan bane baithay ho
Tum ko, kuchh bhi na pata ho jaise

Hichkiyaan raat ko aatii hee rahin
Tu ney phir yaad kiyaa ho jaise

Mujhe Tum Yaad Rakhna

Wardi Nahi Hai Kafan Daala..
Haatho Mein Liye Shool Bhaala...
Aur Sab Kuch Maine Bhula Daala...

Guzrey huye lamhon ki barish

Guzrey huye lamhon ki barish
kal raat phir se barsi thee
waqt ruk gya saa thaa
ankhen nam to ho gayee theen
dil ne phir udasiyon ke
aanchal mein chupa liya
khud ko bohat der tak
bohat der tak
har simt pheli taareeky
daraa rahi thee mujh ko
aankhen rotey rotey
bebasi mein
janey kab haan
jaaney kab ik simt
mein hi takney lagin
bohat dooor aasmaan pe kahin
halki si madham si
wo roshni thee
baarish janey kab
tham bhi gayee
rotey rotey laraztey se
hont bebasi mein bhi
dua maangney lagey
jab aasman taareekiyon ke baad
halki madham roshni ka
sahara letey huye
dunya ko phir se dekhey to
ujalon sa sawera har simt phel jaye to
mere dil ne bhi dua mangi ya Rab
meri aankhen mere hont
muskurana chahtey hein ...
mein ne dunya dekhi hai
dunya to kitni pyari hei
aiesa hi to hai
dukh hai to phir sukh bhi hai
uljhan ke kitney hal bhi to hein
barishon ne roz barastey huye
dho diya hai gham mera
subh ki kirnon ne dekho
mujh ko bhi ujalon ke sapurd
kar diya hai
to rona nahen mujhey ab
zindagi meri bhi hai
jeena to mujhey bhi hai
ab nahen sochna ke gham kia thaa
ke gham kion thaa
barasti huii baarishon mein
kitni khushi hai
koi saath ho naa saath ho
bheegi huii rutt mein bhi to
ajab maza hai
ik sakun hai
udasiyon ko hataney waley
badil bhi hein
aankhon ko noor kerney wali
roshni bhi hai
to guzrey huye lamho
tum bhula do mujhey
mein nahen janti ke tum kaun ho
mein ne jeena hai sang
hawaon ke jhoomtey huye
bheegi baarishon ko choomtey huye
kal raat mere dil ne meri dua ne
mujh se dard ke saarey aansoo
cheeen liye hein aur...
ab mein khush hoon.....!!!

रहता है

तुझे सोचने को ये दिल तैयार रहता है
जो कुछ भी करे टू तुझसे प्यार रहता है

जहाँ खड़ी राहें मेरी देखा करती थी
वहाँ पर अब इक तन्हा किवाड़ रहता है

तूने भी छत पर आना छोड दिया है
और चाँद भी आजकल बीमार रहता है

वेस्ल भी नही रहा हिज़र भी चाल गया
फिर क्यों आँखों में ये खुमार रहता है

अँगुलियन उठेंगी बदनामी भी लाज़मी
उठी अंगुलियों पर कब इख्तेयार रहता है

तू भी दिल-ए-मासूम तोड़ नही सकती
कहते हैं यहाँ पर नाफनी प्यार रहता है

Tod dena

sarey haq o akhtiyaraat ankhon pey chod dena,
kanch sey najuk khvaab dikhana fir tod dena,,

koi sekhey tumsey tizarat key saleekey,
naam bechney key vastey dilon ko tod dena,,

jism sey paseeney saa ponch diya mujhko,
kitna asaan tha yoon rishton ko to dena,,

fasaley achey lagey jab yeh jaan gaya,
hunar hey tera najdeekiyon ko tod dena,,

 rastey ki tum dewaar ban gaye,
aata hey usko esi dewaaron ko tod dena,,,,,

Asar

hoslon ki unchaieyon ko chuta hoon,
jajbon ki gahraieyon mey utarta hoon,,

ho jata hey man agar udaas kabhi,
duniya ki rusvaiyon mey peeta hoon,,

haseen jadu ka mujhpey esaa huaa asar,
bheed ki tanhaaiyon mey jeeta hoon,,

dar gaya hoon sard eyk anjaam sey,
garm raat rajaaieyon mey chupta hoon,,

aaieney saa saaf hey auks
main teri rubaaiyon mey dikhta hoon...

main hoon eak prishan chinha

main lagata hoon viram
jhinjhodta hoon man ko
talashtaa hoon jawaab
jissey mujhey santosh miley,

atript rahunga main
tab tak jab tak ki
mujhmey uthi aankanshayain
kuch adhuri suchnayain
mujhey udailit karti rahengi,

mera vajood sabney dekha hey
umar key padav mey kahin
sab sey milta hoon main
main hoon eak prashn chinha[?]

kabhi naam pey utha hoon
kabhi daam pey uthaa hoon
kuch bandhan kabhi tootey to
to samaaj pey utha hoon,
sach key hoth band rahey isliye
kabhi awaajon pey[?] chipka hoon,

main kisi sey akhiri baar
nahin milta kyunki aana hey dobara
jindagi key har dorahey pey khada hoon
main hoon eak prishan chinha[?]

मुझे जानम दो माँ

मुझे जानम दो माँ

कब से याकुल बैठा हून आस लगाए
कोई तो आए मूज़े प्यार से गले लगाए

तेरा बीज हून, जानम लेना चाहता हून
माँ की बाहें मूज़े भी झूला झूलाए

तुम जिस खूबसूरत दुनिया में रहती हो
मैं वो दुनिया देखना चाहता हून

आजकल क्या हुआ है क्यूँ बचों से सब रूठे हैं
विज्ञान की तरक़ी से बचे भी अब चुनते हैं

बेटी अघर हो कोख में, सौदा कर लेते हैं
देकर मौत मासूम को कैसे चैन से रहते हैं

ओर अगर हुआ कोई नुक्स मुज में तो
क्या मेरा भी गला घोंट दोगि माँ

क्या मैं तरसता रह जायूंगा जानम लेने को
ममता भरे आँचल को माँ के दूड पीने को

माँ मूज़े खुद से जुड़ा ना करो
तेरा अंश बनके आना चाहता हून

बहुत बार मरा हून जानम से पहले ही
माँ मैं तुज़े माँ बुलाना चाहता हून

माँ अपने आँचल में छुपाले मुझको
तेरे सीने लगकर मैं हसना मुस्कुराना चाहता हून

आब ना सोचो,मूज़े जानम दे दो माँ
आब तो मूज़े जानम दे दो माँ

wo sunati hogi ghazal

Sochta hoon keh usay neend bhi aati hogi
Ya meri terha faqat ashq bahati hogi

Wo meri shakal mera naam bhulanay wali
Apni tasweer se kya aankh milati hogi

Is zameen per bhi hai sailaab mere ashkoon se
Mere matam ki sada arsh hilati hogi

Sham hotay hee wo chokhat pe jala ker shamein
Apni palkon pe kayi khaab sulati hogi

Us ne silwa bhi liye hongay siyah libaas
Ab mohram ki terha eid manati hogi

Hoti hogi mere bosay ki talab mey pagal
Jab bhi zulfon mey koi phool sajati hogi

Mere tareek zamanon se nikalnay wali
Roshni tujh ko meri yaad dilate hogi

Dil ki masoom ragein khud hee sulagti honngi
Jonhi tasweer ka kona wo jalati hogi

Roop de ker mujhe us mey kisi shahzaday ka
Apnay buchon ko kahani wo sunati hogi

Friendship Means

Whenever you need me I'll be there.
I want you to know that I truly care.
When life knocks you down on your knees,
I'll be at your side just as fast as you please.
A shoulder to cry on when times are rough,
An encouraging word when you don't feel good enough.
An ear to listen to your hopes and your dreams,
A voice of moderation when you've gone to extremes.
Someone to share the good and the bad,
I will be the best friend you ever had!

I Am Always With You!

When true friendship
binds two individuals together,
that bond can never be broken.
For in times of confusion,
I will be there to listen to you.
In times of sadness,
I will be there to console you.
In times of anger,
I will be there to talk with you.
Even when miles separate us,
my friend,
when you are confused,
when you are sad,
when you are angry,
search your heart,
and I will be there.
I am and always will be
your friend.

Friendship Is Like A Flower

Friendship is like a flower,
Glowing in its glory,
Each and every seed,
Telling its own story.

As each flower blooms,
And then continues to grow,
More of its strength and knowledge,
Continues to show.

And like a garden,
It blooms much more fair,
When carefully tended,
By those who care.

Once in a while,
You come across a friend,
Who is as beautiful as a flower,
With a good heart to lend.

So I picked this flower,
And pulled it apart,
And soon all its pieces,
Grew into my heart.

But when I realized,
Is that this flower that grew,
Was not leaves and petals,
But pieces of you.

Your love and kindness,
Your strength and power,
Have helped me grow,
Into my own little flower.

And now with our friendship,
I'll never let go,
And we can help others,
To flower and grow.

Chandni Ki Yaden

jab kabhi gule-gul-jaar ke gul se,
man he man,
muskuraney ko kehta hoon main,
jab kabhi jan-e-chaman ki jaan se
man he man,
batain karta hoon main,
yeh amavasya ki lambee raat main,
be-inteha be-hoshohawas
ek chand to dhonda karta hoon main,
tabhi chandni ki khushbee,
hawa ke jhonke se aa kar,
tumharee yaad dila detee hai aur,
man he man,
chandni ki garm tarap se,
pighalta jata hoon main.

I'm Looking For A Friend Today

I'm looking for a friend today,
A friend who will never stay away.
I want one friend or may be two,
But I want a friend who's just like you..

I'm looking for a friend, you see,
A friend who needs someone like me.
I want this friend, I really do,

A friend who'll always bring good cheer.
I want a friend who wants me too,
But I want a friend who's just like you..

Who'll do the things a kind friend should.
I want a friend who's happy too,
But I want a friend who's just like you..

Who'll not let our friendship end.
I want a friend who's always true,
I think I've found my friend.

Crowded Bus

I was going by bus to the next land,
There was no place to stand,
The trip was for 2-3 hours,
I could see towns and towers,
People, were smoking, people were joking,
Out they were peeping,
And some were sleeping,
We were also singing songs,
Of films and of God.

It was morning time,
We were all fit and fine,
Having fun,
But there comes the sun,
In the heat we were bad,
And slept, all like mad,
When it went we awake,
And reached a beautiful lake,
It was the place where we had to stay
We all went to our rooms and just lay
We all ordered for the food,
And all were in good mood,
It was an unforgettable journey,
Without much wastage of money.

The Teddy Bear

It lay in the corner
Lonely and forgotten
One eye missing
Its smile long gone
Its beauty lay not
In its physique
But in the years they spent together
The diligent nights it guarded her bed
The many night it sat, listening
As she cursed pigtails and boys
Acne and her mom, curfew and
The girls that were stealing her boy

He sat in the corner
Shy and forgotten
Eyes half-closed
On his lips, just a
Hint of a smile
His beauty lays not
In his physique
But in the years
They will spend together
The way he�ll listen as marriage
Isn�t candlelight and roses
The way he�ll cry with her
As he holds their firstborn
The way he�ll hold her as
She cries when their son
Rides away on the yellow bus
And again as their daughter
Leaves to find herself at college.
In the way he�ll still wink
With a twinkle in his eye
As she eats the golden cake

Lover's Fantasy

The water gently flowing up to the shore
Moonlight glistening like fireflies

We are not seen
Only God knows we are there...

We are lovers now,
Our bodies entwined as one.

Time does not exist
Moments or hours?
We don't know, nor do we care.

To freeze this moment in time
Would be ectasy.

We hear nothing but the beating
Of our hearts..

Then we must part
Neither wanting to.

This is a fantasy,
Or is it?

My Sweetest Dream

In a cold, dark, starry night
Moon was full, young and bright,
The western wind luminary and quiet
Spirits were raised after the twilight,

She was lovely, tender and sprite
Moonlight seemed to glitter her sight,
Her rosy cheeks soft and skin white
It was lonely impulse of her delight,

My hands were numb, skin tight
I felt her standing me beside,
She left her smile in my eyes
I felt me with her in paradise,

Even the stars seemed to shiver
I was on the bank of a river,
My breathe often slow and upright
It was a wonderful dream of my life

The Lover's Poem

I see two stars in summer�s night,
Hovering, lost, in blinding light;
Each so dull in heaven�s net,
As each remains as yet unmet.

But fortune moves in strangest ways,
It lenghtens nights, it shortens days;
May this night end and day begin,
And bring two lovers back again.

To The Lake...

In Spring of youth it was my lot
To haunt of the wide world a spot
The which I could not love the less -
So lovely was the loneliness
Of a wild lake, with black rock bound,
And the tall pines that towered around.

But when the night had thrown her pall
Upon that spot, as upon all,
And the mystic wind went by
Murmuring in melody -
Then - ah, then, I would awake
To the terror of the lone lake.

Yet that terror was not fright,
But a tremulous delight -
A feeling not the jewelled mine
Could teach or bribe me to define -
Nor Love - although the love were thine.

Death was in that poisonous wave,
And in its gulf a fitting grave
For him who thence could solace bring
To his lone imagining -
Whose solitary soul could make
An Eden of that dim lake.

Leaves Before The Wind!

We have walked, looked at the actual trees:
The chesnut leaves wide-open like a hand,
The beech leaves bronzing under every breeze,
We have felt flowing through our knees
As if we were the wind.

We have sat silent when two horses came,
Jangling their harness, to mow the long grass.
We have sat long and never found a name
For this suspension in the heart of flame
That does not pass.

We have said nothing; we have parted often,
Not looking back, as if departure took
An absolute of will--once not again
(But this is each day's feat, as when
The heart first shook).

Where fervor opens every instant so,
There is no instant that is not a curve,
And we are always coming as we go;
We lean toward the meeting that will show
Love's very nerve.

And so exposed (O leaves before the wind!)
We bear this flowing fire, forever free,
And learn through devious paths to find
The whole, the center, and perhaps unbind
The mystery

Where there are no roots, only fervent leaves,
Nourished on meditations and the air,
Where all that comes is also all that leaves,
And every hope compassionately lives
Close to despair.

Hevanly GRASS

My feet took a walk in heavenly grass.
All day while the sky shone clear as glass.
My feet took a walk in heavenly grass,
All night while the lonesome stars rolled past.
Then my feet come down to walk on earth,
And my mother cried when she give me birth.
Now my feet walk far and my feet walk fast,
But they still got an itch for heavenly grass.
But they still got an itch for heavenly grass.

A Year In Heaven

ONE year among the angels, beloved, thou hast been;
One year has heaven's white portal shut back the sound of sin:
And yet no voice, no whisper, comes floating down from thee,
To tell us what glad wonder a year of heaven may be.

Our hearts before it listen, the beautiful closed gate:
The silence yearns around us; we listen and we wait.
It is thy heavenly birthday, on earth thy lilies bloom;
In thine immortal garland canst find for these no room?
Thou lovedst all things lovely when walking with us here;
Now, from the heights of heaven, seems earth no longer dear?
We cannot paint thee moving in white-robed state afar,
Nor dream our flower of comfort a cool and distant star.

Heaven is but life made richer: therein can be no loss:
To meet our love and longing thou hast no gulf to cross;
No adamant between us uprears its rocky screen;
A veil before us only; -- thou in the light serene.

That veil 'twixt earth and heaven a breath might waft aside;
We breathe one air, beloved, we follow one dear Guide:
Passed in to open vision, out of our mists and rain,
Thou seest how sorrow blossoms; how peace is won from pain.

And half we feel thee leaning from thy deep calm of bliss,
To say of earth, "Beloved, how beautiful it is
The lilies in this splendor, -- the green leaves in this dew;
0, earth is also heaven, with God's light clothed anew!"

So, when the sky seems bluer, and when the blossoms wear
Some tender, mystic shading we never knew was there,
We'll say "We see things earthly by light of sainted eyes;
She bends where we are gazing, to-day, from Paradise."

Because we know thee near us, and nearer still to Him
Who fills thy cup of being with glory to the brim,
We will not stain with grieving our fair, though fainter light,
But cling to thee in spirit as if thou wert in sight.

And as in waves of beauty the swift years come and go,
Upon celestial currents our deeper life shall flow,
Hearing, from that sweet country where blighting never came,
Love chime the hours immortal, in earth and heaven the same.

The Night Isn't Bad..

A part of me lies there beside awaiting the angels of sleep
to accompany her into that special world-
Close your eyes ,sweetheart and let the burden of
the day be lifted from your lids-

Sleep ,move into that heaven far from our
daily bustle
Leave the clutches on your mind-
let it fly,the distance of joy,oceans of sleep
until the first ray touches your feet-
sleep my little one,
let all the stars guide you by when your heart sinks into that
ecstatic slumber .

Full Father Five Thy Father Lies!

Full fathom five thy Father lies,
Of his bones are Corrall made:
Those are pearles that were his eies,
Nothing of him that doth fade,
But doth suffer a Sea-change
Into something rich & strange
Sea-Nymphs hourly ring his knell.
Harke now I heare them, ding-dong, bell.

Fire And Ice!

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favour fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

The Lake Of The Dismal Swamp

"They made her a grave too cold and damp
For a soul so warm and true;
And she's gone to the Lake of the Dismal Swamp,
Where all night long, by a firefly lamp,
She paddles her white canoe.

And her firefly lamp I soon shall see,
And her paddle I soon shall hear;
Long and moving our life shall be
And I'll hide the maid in a cypress tree,
When the footstep of death is near."

Away to the Dismal Swamp he speeds,
His path was rugged and sore,
Through tangled juniper, beds of reeds,
Through many a fen where the serpent feeds,
And man never trod before.

And when on the earth he sank to sleep,
If slumber his eyelids knew,
He lay where the deadly vine doth weep
Its venemous tear, and nightly steep
The flesh with blistering dew!

And near him the she-wolf stirr'd the brake,
And the copper-snake breathed in his ear,
Till he starting cried, from his dream awake,
"Oh when shall I see the dusky Lake,
And the white canoe of my dear?"

He saw the Lake, and a meteor bright
Quick over its surface play'd,
"Welcome," he said, "my dear one's light!"
And the dim shore echo'd for many a night
The name of the death-cold maid.

Till he hollow'd a boat of the birchen bark,
Which carried him off from the shore;
Far, far he follow'd the meteor spark,
The wind was high and the clouds were dark,
And the boat return'd no more.

But oft, from the Indian hunter's camp,
This lover and maid so true
Are seen at the hour of midnight damp
To cross the Lake by a firefly lamp,
And paddle their white canoe!

Jabberwocky

Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

'Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!'

He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.

And as in uffish thought he stood.
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.

'And thou hast slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'
He chortled in his joy.

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

 

The Donkey,........

When fishes flew and forests walked
And figs grew upon thorn
Some moment when the moon was blood
Then surely I was born.

With monstrous head and sickening cry
And ears like errant wings
The devil's walking parody
On all four-footed things.

The tattered outlaw of the earth.
Of ancient crooked will;
Starve, scourge, deride me: I am dumb
I keep my secret still.

Fools! For I also had my hour;
One far fierce hour and sweet:
There was a shout about my ears,
And palms before my feet.

High Flight!

Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds - and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of; wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hovering there
I've chased the shouting winds along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air;
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace,
Where never lark nor even eagle flew;
And while, with silent lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

Die Youngman's Death!

Let me die a young man's death
not a clean and in between
the sheets holywater death
not a famous-last-words
peaceful out of breath death

When I'm 73
and in constant good tumour
may I be mown down at dawn
by a bright red sports car
on my way home
from an all night party

Or when I'm 91
with silver hair
and sitting in a barber's chair
may rival gangsters
with hamfisted tommyguns
burst in and give me a short back and insides

Or when I'm 104
and banned from the Cavern
may my mistress
catching me in bed with her daughter
and fearing for her son
cut me up into little pieces
and throw away every piece but one

Let me die a young man's death
not a free from sin tiptoe in
candle wax and waning death
not a curtains drawn by angels borne
'what a nice way to go' death

The Melody!

The youth in the woods spent the whole day long,
The whole day long;
For there he had heard such a wonderful song,
Wonderful song.

Willow-wood gave him a flute so fair,
A flute so fair,--
To try, if within were the melody rare,
Melody rare.

Melody whispered and said: "I am here!"
Said: "I am here!"
But while he was listening, it fled from his ear,
Fled from his ear.

Oft when he slept, it to him crept,
It to him crept;
And over his forehead in love it swept,
In love it swept.

When he would seize it, his sleep took flight,
His sleep took flight;
The melody hung in the pallid night,
In the pallid night.

"Lord, O my God, take me therein,
Take me therein!
The melody rare all my soul doth win,
My soul doth win."

Answered the Lord: "'T is your friend alone,
Your friend alone;
Though never an hour you it shall own,
You it shall own."

The Princess!

The princess looked down from her bower high,
The youth blew his horn as he lingered thereby.
"Be quiet, O youth, will forever you blow?
It hinders my thoughts, that would far away go,
Now, when sets the sun."

The princess looked down from her bower high,
The youth ceased his blowing, his horn he laid by.
"Why are you so quiet? Now more shall you blow,
It lifts all my thoughts, that would far away go,
Now, when sets the sun."

The princess looked down from her bower high,
The youth blew again, as he lingered thereby.
Then weeping, she whispered: "O God, let me know
The name of this sorrow that burdens me so! --
Now has set the sun."

Angel Of Sleep

Asleep the child fell
When night cast its spell;
The angels came near
With laughter and cheer.
Her watch at its waking the mother was keeping:
"How sweet, my dear child, was your smile now while sleeping!"

To God mother went,
From home it was rent;
Asleep the child fell
'Neath tears' troublous spell.
But soon it heard laughter and mother-words tender;
The angels brought dreams full of childhood's rare splendor.

It grew with the years,
Till gone were the tears;
Asleep the child fell,
While thoughts cast their spell.
But faithful the angels their vigils were keeping,
The thoughts took and whispered: "Have peace now, while sleeping!"

kismat

meri duaa-o-ka maine khood pe ulta asar dekha,
mangi jo thodi khusiyan to barsata kahar dekha,

haalat ye dekh meri chahat ne bhi saath chhoda,
maine aansoon men magar use har pahar dekha,

iss ummid me ki aajaye woh ushe pukarata raha,
jaha jaha milaa karte the us jagah thahar dekha,

roop unke bhi dekh liye jinko apnas samajta tha,
pyaala paani jo maanga pyaale me zahar dekha,

pyaar ka diyaa jalaa ke ghar me chhod aaya tha,
waapas  jo aaya to jalta huaa sahar dekha.

jhooth kahunga  to toon mana karega,,

Nahi rehena

Nahi rehena hai mujhe teri aankhon mein
Jo kamiyab hue tum umeedon ko tohdne mein

Nahi rehena hai mujhe teri saanson mein
Tasveer na dikhao humen ashq nikalte hai aankhon mein

Nahi muskurana hai mujhe teri khushyon mein
Pahunchuna chahun dil tak zakhm bangaye khwabon mein

Nahi jeena tere dil mein nafrat ban gaye ho dil mein
Kuch haseel hoga tujhe mere muhabbat paane mein

Nahi shamil hona teri zindagi ke raahon mein
Pathar dil ko chaha aur dil toota jazbaaton mein

बढाना नहीं था

दूरी को अपनी बढाना नहीं था
हमें प्यार को आज़माना नहीं था.

ना ही हाथ पकड़ा,ना कोई गुज़ारिश
ठहरने का कोई बहाना नहीं था

वो वसलों के सपने,वो खुशबू बदन की
मैं जागी तो तेरा ठिकाना नहीं था

वो लैला के क़िस्से,वो रांझे की बातें
जुदा सबसे उनका,फसाना नहीं था

कि दामन पे उनके कई दाग आए
इन आंसू को ऐसे गिराना नहीं था

Can V Have It Without The End?

Our friendship started with hello n hi
hope it does not end with a bye
u encircled my days with divine light
ghostly weapons never became an issue to fight
always be happy is an advice
if v will b together dis place will not b less than a paradise
slowly u stepped in my life like rising sun
n filled it with frolic n fun
through a flashback i just found sweet raining showers
as if they wanted yo last as xanthic flowers
u taught me d meaning of true friend
can v have it without the end?

Because You Are My Friend

Because you are my friend
my life is enriched in a myriad of ways
Like a cool breeze on a sweltering day
like a ray of sunshine parting glowering clouds
you lift me up
In good times, we soar
like weightless balloons
over neon rainbows
In bad times, you are soothing balm
for my pummeled soul
I learn so much from you
you help me see old things in new ways
I wonder if you are aware
of the bright seeds you are sowing in me
I'm a better person for knowing you
so that everyone I interact with
is touched by your good effect on me
You relax me, refresh me, renew me
Your bounteous heart envelops me
in joy and love and peace
May your life be filled
with dazzling blessings
just as I am blessed
by being your friend

Dost (Farishta)

sab ki zindgi me ik farishta aata hai,
jise hum apna dost sacha kehte hain,
magar log use acha nahin samjhte,
or use bura bhala kehte hain,
Magar jo aisa kehte rehte hain,
wo apni zindgi me khud hi dukh sehte hain,
kyunki unko us dost(farishta) ki pehchan nahi hoti,
jinhe pehchan nahin hoti,
wo logon ki baaton me aate rehte hain,
or apne aap ko boht smart kehte hain,
jab kabhi unhe koi samjhata hai to wo samajhte nahi,
kyunki wo samajhte hain ki hamari zindgi hai yahi,
phir wo ye kyun nahin samjhte ki dost ke sath hi to zindgi chalti hai,
dosti se hi to subha hoti hai or sham dhalti hai,
asl zindgi to dost ke sath hi chalti hai,
mana ye cheej badi mushkil se milti hai,
is liye log use na pehchane ke liye majboor hote hain,
aise log zindgi me kam hote hain,
jo zindgi me sari khushi dete hain,
kuch log inn baton ka bura maan lete hain,
Or dost aise jo dosti ke liye jaan de dete hain.

THE JOY OF REUNION

t was a windy day,
but still the sun leapt out of the sky.
As we headed forward for our flight,
tears crept out of eyes.
It blurred my vision and caused a sour pain,
Because I couldn't get the last glimpse of my place.
But now I'm going back,
to regain my old colors that I lack.
The thought of meeting friends again,
brings chills down my spine,
The joy of reunion would get better by time,
like as wine.

Aap Ki Dosti

Kitne fasane is duniya mein yunhi ban jate hain
Ajanbi musafir ek rishta bana jate hain
Zindgi mano ek lamba safar hai
Jisme kuch ankahe rishte ban jate hain
Un rishton mein kuch waqt ke saath choot jate hain
Aur kuch waqt ke saath mazboot ban jate hain
Inhi rishton mein ek rishta hamara
In khoobsurat rishton ke ehsaas kuch gehre ho jate hain
Kehne ko to hum sirf dost hain
Par rishta pyar se badhkar hain
Jise chaho wo shayad chod jaye hume
Par sache dost sada paas rehte hain
Zindgi mein gham aur khushi to aati rehti hain
Har pal utar-chadaav hote rehte hain
Par jo dil se dost hote hain
Woh har waqt saath nibhate rehte hain......

Forget The Times He Walked By

Forget the times he walked by,
Forget the times he made you cry,

Forget the times he spoke your name,
Remember now your not the same.

Forget the times he held your hand,
Forget the sweet things if you can,

Forget the times & don't pretend,
Remember now he's just your friend.

Meri Saadgi

Meri Saadgi hi Mera Jurm hai
koi aur meri khata nahi
Maine to Chaha tha sada usko
koi aur meri khata nahi
jane kaisi ab hawa chali hai
Rahi doston me wafa nahi
Yahan jal gaya mera aashiyana
Abhi baadlon ko pata nahi
Tere darr par dastak de sakun
yeh haq to tumne diya nahi
Main raahi hoon raah-e-ummid ka
Mujhe manzilon ka pata nahi
Bebas hoon jahan me is qadar
jaise is jahan me mera koi nahi...

Natkhat Dost

Natkhat hai, Pyari hai, Gudiya rani hai,
Sab se alag who deewani hai,
Titliyo ki tarah udti hai,
Kabhi idhar kabhi udhar milti hai,
Hasti hai hasati hai humko bhut satati hai,
Hai bhut choti par khud ko bada samajti hai,
Hamare har sukh-dukh mein,
Sath chalne ki kosish karti hai,
Karte hai hum bhi us se bahut pyar,
Sai Ram sabko de us jaisa yaar

Its Never Good Bye

As the days passes by
my heart sinks with the fear
Fear of saying goodbye
to all my friends who are dear

I promise that any day
I shall be there for you
I will be just a call away
Trust me, I am for you

We all have love & family
But friends are precious gem
Which is not so costly
But it is not easy to get them

They are no scattered leaves
found at every step of you life
They stand when everyone leaves
And make you smile

Even being far if you ever need me
Don't get lost, look around you
I'll be the true friend you want me to be
And promise I'll always be there for you

Friend Like You

I'm looking for a friend today
A friend who will never stay away
I want one friend or may be two
But I want a friend who's just like you
I'm looking for a friend, you see
A friend who needs someone like me
I want this friend, I really do
But I want a friend who's just like you
I am looking for a friend sincere
A friend who'll always bring good cheer
I want a friend who wants me too
But I want a friend who's just like you
I am looking for a friend who's good
Who'll do the things a kind friend should
I want a friend who's happy too
But I want a friend who's just like you
I'm looking for a loving friend
Who'll not let our friendship end
I want a friend who's always true
But I want a friend who's just like you

For All My Life I'll Take Care

i walked back on the street of my life
trying to collect the treasures of my life
i see the coins which wrote the happy moments
of my life
i collected all without a single miss
and i moved on with a feeling of bliss
My footsteps stood still
as a dazzling lite flashes to my eyes
A spirit arrived and keeps laughing at me
as if everything is nothing but a lie
i ask him the reason why
he answers - There's no fool better than you
the treasures of ur life are already with u
"Hold ur heart and see"
Saying this he flee
i had no clue what he meant
there was nothing i could see
i close my eyes and hold my heart
as i open my hands i see
hundreds of diamonds sparkling
every diamond is unique
with my friends' name engraved
To miss a single one i'll never dare
i promise myself for all my life i'll take care

सच पूछो तो यारोँ

सच पूछो तो यारोँ प्यार में,
बस आँसू ही श्रृंगार होता है।

बिछुङ कर साथी प्यार के हिलोरोँ से,
फिर गिला करे बाग के उन भौँरोँ से,
तङपते जाये पुनर्मिलन को,
क्या यही सच्चा प्यार होता है?
सच पूछो तो यारोँ

मजबूर हो कोई प्यार छुपाने को,
या समर्थ ना हो उसे जताने को,
ऐसे में क्या कोई,
उस प्यार का हकदार होता है ?
सच पूछो तो यारोँ

साथी को अहसाश ना हो पाये,
या प्यार जताने में वो हिचकिचाये,
तब बन्धन की उस कङी का नतीजा,
केवल उसकी हार होता है?
सच पूछो तो यारोँ

काँटे हो वृंदावन के महकते फूलों मेँ,
हो रुदन राधिका का, कृष्ण के उन झूलोँ मेँ,
तब आँसू बहाती उन गोपियोँ का,
बस मोहन ही संसार होता है।
सच पूछो तो यारोँ

जहाँ हर रोज नभ में बादल मंडराते हैं,
देख-देख उन्हें वो नन्हें कोँपल जल जाते हैँ,
जहाँ झूठ-कपट और अपराधोँ से,
सना हुआ हर दिलदार होता है।
सच पूछो तो यारोँ

जहाँ होता है हर रोज खेल घिनोना,
बन चुका प्यार जहाँ जिस्म का खिलोना,
ऐसे में जता ना पाते दुनियाँ के सम जब,
तभी तो प्यार के नाम पर अत्याचार होता है।
सच पूछो तो यारोँ

Main To Wo Lamha Hu Jo Aj Hai Kal Shyaad Guzar Jau

Waqt ne kaha ab to muskura de
Chahat ka mausam lauta usse to gale se laga le
Maine tere saath jo kiya wo to ek sharahat thi
Shyaad dekhna tha tere pyar me kitni kurbat thi
Pyar tera muje bhi pyara hai
Tere dard ke samne maine sab kuchh hara hai
Preet teri jag se nirali hai
Phir bhi tera dil kyu sawali hai
Phir se meet milaya maine uska kuch to sila de
Tere dard ka sisila ab to mita de
Tab maine waqt se kaha
Tu kuch muje bhi bata
Kaise karu main tera aitbar

Its For U My Friend

In the journey of life we meet many people
who come and walk their way
But there are some who touch your heart
and its too painful to watch them go away
Its not in my right to stop you my friend
can't ask you to stay
It's all a game of destiny
in which we have no say
You have your beautiful life ahead
and you have your part to play
May you have all the happiness in life
is what I'll always pray

Hum Apko Satate Nahi Hai

pehle karte hai dosti, fir nibhate nahi hai
aur kehte hai ki hum apko satate nahi hai

pehle karte the hello hi door se bhi dekhkar
ab pas ane par bhi muskurate nahi hai

pehle milkar lagta tha ki salo se jante hain aap humein
par ab lagta hai ki shayad pehle nahi mile hum kabhi

hum nahi jante ki aap humse dosti rakhna chahte hai ya nahi
par hum to us dosti ka farzz nibhana chahte hai jo hamne ki thi kahin

pehle pas se gujrane par muskura dete the
ab pehchante hue bhi ajnabi bana dete hai

pehle hanste the khulkar humse milkar
par ab muskurate tak nahi hai

humne ki thi dosti ye sochkar ki aap ise ta umar nibhayenge
par humein kya pata tha ki aap ise beech mein hi chodkar chale jayenge

na ab humari sunte hai aur apni bhi sunate nahi hai
aur kehte hai ki hum apko satate nahi hai

Good Cheer!

So let these songs their story tell
To all who in the Northland dwell,
Since many friends request it.
(That Finland's folk with them belong
In the wide realm of Northern song,
I grateful must attest it.)

I send these songs--and now I find
Most of them have riot what my mind
Has deepest borne and favored:
Some are too hasty, some too brief,
Some, long in stock, have come to grief,
Some with raw youth are flavored.

I lived far more than e'er I sang;
Thought, ire, and mirth unceasing rang
Around me, where I guested;
To be where loud life's battles call
For me was well-nigh more than all
My pen on page arrested.

What's true and strong has growing-room,
And will perhaps eternal bloom,
Without black ink's salvation,
And he will be, who least it planned,
But in life's surging dared to stand,
The best bard for his nation.

I heard once of a Spanish feast:
Within the ring a rustic beast,
A horse, to fight was fated;
In came a tiger from his cage,
Who walked about, his foe to gauge,
And crouching down, then waited.

The people clapped and laughed and cheered,
The tiger sprang, the horse upreared,
But none could see him bleeding;
The tiger tumbling shrinks and backs
Before the horse's rustic whacks,
Lies on his head naught heeding.

Then men and women hooted, hissed,
With glaring eyes and clench�d fist
Out o'er the balcony bending;
With shouts the tiger's heart they tease,
Their thirst for blood soon to appease,
To onset new him sending.

The people clapped and laughed and cheered
The tiger sprang, the horse upreared;
No blood to see was given,
For fortune held the horse too dear,
To him the tiger could not near,
In flying curves hoof-driven.

To say who won I will not try;
For lo, this rustic horse am I,
And on the conflict's going;--
The city, though, where it occurs,
And where it cheers and laughter stirs,
Is known without my showing.

I fight, but have no hate or spite,
From what I love draw gladness bright,
My right to wrath reserving.
It is my blood, my soul, that goes
In every line of all my blows,
And guides their course unswerving.

But as I stand here now to-day,
Nor grudge nor vengeance can me sway,
To think that foes I'm facing.
So in return some friendship give
To one who for the cause would live,
With love the North embracing!

But first my poet-path shall be
With veneration unto _thee_,
Who fill'st the North with wonder;
In wrath thou dawn didst prophesy
Behind the North's dark morning-sky,
That lightnings shook and thunder.

Then, milder, thou, by sea and slope,
The fount of saga, faith, and hope
Mad'st flow for every peasant;--
Now from the snow-years' mountain-side
Thou seest with time's returning tide
Thine own high image present.

To thee, then, in whose spring of song
Finland's "the thousand lakes" belong
And sound their thrilling sorrow:
Our Northern soul forever heard
Keeps watch and ward in poet's word
'Gainst Eastern millions' morrow.

But when I stand in our own home,
One greets me from the starry dome
With wealth of light and power.
There shines he: HENRIK WERGELAND,
Out over Norway's pallid strand
In memory's clear hour.

Beautiul Dreamer!

Beautiful dreamer, wake unto me,
Starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee;
Sounds of the rude world heard in the day,
Lull'd by the moonlight have all pass'd away!

Beautiful dreamer, queen of my song,
List while I woo thee with soft melody;
Gone are the cares of life's busy throng.

Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!

Beautiful dreamer, out on the sea,
Mermaids are chaunting the wild lorelie;
Over the streamlet vapors are borne,
Waiting to fade at the bright coming morn.

Beautiful dreamer, beam on my heart,
E'en as the morn on the streamlet and sea;
Then will all clouds of sorrow depart,

Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!

I Dream Of Jeanie....

I dream of Jeanie with the light brown hair,
Borne, like a vapor, on the summer air;
I see her tripping where the bright streams play,
Happy as the daisies that dance on her way.
Many were the wild notes her merry voice would pour,
Many were the blithe birds that warbled them o'er:
Oh! I dream of Jeanie with the light brown hair,
Floating, like a vapor, on the soft summer air.

I long for Jeanie with the daydawn smile,
Radiant in gladness, warm with winning guile;
I hear her melodies, like joys gone by,
Sighing round my heart o'er the fond hopes that die:
Sighing like the night wind and sobbing like the rain,
Wailing for the lost one that comes not again:
Oh! I long for Jeanie, and my heart bows low,
Never more to find her where the bright waters flow.

I sigh for Jeanie, but her light form strayed
Far from the fond hearts round her native glade;
Her smiles have vanished and her sweet songs flown,
Flitting like the dreams that have cheered us and gone.
Now the nodding wild flowers may wither on the shore
While her gentle fingers will cull them no more:
Oh! I sigh for Jeanie with the light brown hair,
Floating, like a vapor, on the soft summer air.

There Ia Another Sky1

There is another sky,
Ever serene and fair,
And there is another sunshine,
Though it be darkness there;
Never mind faded forests, Austin,
Never mind silent fields -
Here is a little forest,
Whose leaf is ever green;
Here is a brighter garden,
Where not a frost has been;
In its unfading flowers
I hear the bright bee hum:
Prithee, my brother,
Into my garden come!

Fast Rode The Khight!

Fast rode the knight
With spurs, hot and reeking,
Ever waving an eager sword,
"To save my lady!"
Fast rode the knIght,
And leaped from saddle to war.
Men of steel flickered and gleamed
Like riot of silver lights,
And the gold of the knight's good banner
Still waved on a castle wall.
. . . . .
A horse,
Blowing, staggering, bloody thing,
Forgotten at foot of castle wall.
A horse
Dead at foot of castle wall

Waiting!

What things for dream there are when specter-like,
Moving amond tall haycocks lightly piled,
I enter alone upon the stubbled filed,
From which the laborers' voices late have died,
And in the antiphony of afterglow
And rising full moon, sit me down
Upon the full moon's side of the first haycock
And lose myself amid so many alike.

I dream upon the opposing lights of the hour,
Preventing shadow until the moon prevail;
I dream upon the nighthawks peopling heaven,
Or plunging headlong with fierce twang afar;
And on the bat's mute antics, who would seem
Dimly to have made out my secret place,
Only to lose it when he pirouettes,
On the last swallow's sweep; and on the rasp
In the abyss of odor and rustle at my back,
That, silenced by my advent, finds once more,
After an interval, his instrument,
And tries once--twice--and thrice if I be there;
And on the worn book of old-golden song
I brought not here to read, it seems, but hold
And freshen in this air of withering sweetness;
But on the memor of one absent, most,
For whom these lines when they shall greet her eye.

The Barrier!

The Midnight wooed the Morning Star,
And prayed her: "Love come nearer;
Your swinging coldly there afar
To me but makes you dearer."

The Morning Star was pale with dole
As said she, low replying:
"Oh, lover mine, soul of my soul,
For you I too am sighing."

"But One ordained when we were born,
In spite of love's insistence,
That night might only view the Morn
Adoring at a distance."

But as she spoke, the jealous Sun
Across the heavens panted;
"Oh, whining fools," he cried, "have done,
Your wishes shall be granted."

He hurled his flaming lances far;
The twain stood unaffrighted,
And Midnight and the Morning Star
Lay down in death united.

Haunted Oak!

Pray why are you so bare, so bare,
Oh, bough of the old oak-tree;
And why, when I go through the shade you throw,
Runs a shudder over me?
My leaves were green as the best, I trow,
And sap ran free in my veins,
But I say in the moonlight dim and weird
A guiltless victim's pains.
They'd charged him with the old, old crime,
And set him fast in jail:
Oh, why does the dog howl all night long,
And why does the night wind wail?
He prayed his prayer and he swore his oath,
And he raised his hand to the sky;
But the beat of hoofs smote on his ear,
And the steady tread drew nigh.
Who is it rides by night, by night,
Over the moonlit road?
And what is the spur that keeps the pace,
What is the galling goad?
And now they beat at the prison door,
"Ho, keeper, do not stay!
We are friends of him whom you hold within,
And we fain would take him away
"From those who ride fast on our heels
With mind to do him wrong;
They have no care for his innocence,
And the rope they bear is long."
They have fooled the jailer with lying words,
They have fooled the man with lies;
The bolts unbar, the locks are drawn,
And the great door open flies.
Now they have taken him from the jail,
And hard and fast they ride,
And the leader laughs low down in his throat,
As they halt my trunk beside.

Oh, the judge, he wore a mask of black,
And the doctor one of white,
And the minister, with his oldest son,
Was curiously bedight.
Oh, foolish man, why weep you now?
'Tis but a little space,
And the time will come when these shall dread
The mem'ry of your face.
I feel the rope against my bark,
And the weight of him in my grain,
I feel in the throe of his final woe
The touch of my own last pain.
And never more shall leaves come forth
On the bough that bears the ban;
I am burned with dread, I am dried and dead,
From the curse of a guiltless man.
And ever the judge rides by, rides by,
And goes to hunt the deer,
And ever another rides his soul
In the guise of a mortal fear.
And ever the man he rides me hard,
And never a night stays he;
For I feel his curse as a haunted bough,
On the trunk of a haunted tree.
